"It won't hurt. It will be over in an instant."
Arrogant words but coming from Shimura Danzō, they were not empty.
Although he did not hold the title of Hokage, his strength, experience, and forbidden techniques placed him firmly at the Kage level, especially when accounting for his control over Wind Release and the terrifying trump cards hidden beneath his bandages.
As Danzō completed his hand seals, he immediately launched a B-rank technique
Wind Release: Vacuum Wave (Fūton: Shinkūha).
A compressed blade of wind tore through the air.
Chinatsu reacted instantly, her body moving the moment his chakra spiked. She leapt sideways, narrowly avoiding the first strike
but what followed was a continuous barrage.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Multiple vacuum blades rained down in rapid succession, tearing into the earth and sending debris flying. Each strike carved deep grooves into the ground; even a grazing hit would be devastating.
"Quick reflexes," Danzō muttered coldly.
Without pause, he shifted the technique his arm slicing through the air as the wind chakra sharpened further into Vacuum Blades, mimicking sword-like slashes that cut across a wide range.
Chinatsu's three-tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly, her perception pushed to its limit as she weaved through the storm of invisible blades. Each movement was precise, each dodge calculated
but only barely.
Danzō's eyes narrowed slightly.
She's reading the attacks… the Sharingan.
Meanwhile, Chinatsu was drenched in cold sweat.
Luck.
A large part of this was luck.
Even with the three-tomoe Sharingan granting enhanced perception, dodging this many high-speed wind attacks from a veteran like Danzō was far beyond what a normal thirteen-year-old could sustain.
Still
She forced herself to remain composed.
Her gaze locked onto Danzō, her posture steady, as if silently provoking him.
You can't hit me.
You just can't hit me.
Momentum mattered in a battle like this.
But internally, her thoughts raced.
How do I kill him?
This wasn't an ordinary enemy.
In the original story, Danzō only fell after exhausting his resources against Uchiha Sasuke, who wielded the Mangekyō Sharingan, alongside external pressure and narrative inevitability.
Chinatsu had none of that.
No plot armor… just me.
Her hands moved.
Fast.
She had already memorized the hand seals.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"
A sharp gust burst from her mouth, replicating Danzō's technique.
The compressed air blade surged forward. Danzō sidestepped cleanly his experience showing as he avoided it with minimal movement.
But Chinatsu had already predicted that.
She inhaled sharply
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique (Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu)!"
A massive fireball erupted, engulfing the area where Danzō would land.
Boom!!!
Flames roared outward, consuming the battlefield.
From within the inferno
Danzō emerged.
Unharmed.
His body surged forward, a kunai wrapped in chakra held in reverse grip, his killing intent fully unleashed.
Chinatsu's hands moved again.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
A burst of white smoke exploded outward
Dozens of clones rushed him simultaneously.
Danzō's expression remained unchanged.
His arm blurred.
Each strike was precise.
Each kunai thrust
dispelled a clone.
One after another.
In seconds, the battlefield was cleared.
Silence.
No Chinatsu.
Danzō's gaze sharpened.
Where is she?
Then
From within the lingering smoke
Lightning screamed.
A piercing, high-frequency chirping sound tore through the air
Like a thousand birds crying at once.
Danzō turned.
Chinatsu was already upon him.
Lightning chakra condensed violently in her palm
Unstable.
Incomplete
but undeniably lethal.
"Sorry, Kakashi… I'm borrowing this!"
Chidori.
She drove it forward.
Fast.
Too fast to fully evade.
Danzō twisted his body at the last moment, protecting his vital organs
but the attack still pierced through his left waist.
The force carried Chinatsu forward, dragging the strike across nearly a hundred meters before she skidded to a halt.
She panted heavily.
Cold sweat rolled down her face.
Did it… work?
Behind her
Something was wrong.
The wound
Closed.
No
Rewound.
As if it had never existed.
Chinatsu's pupils shrank.
Izanagi.
A forbidden technique of the Sharingan.
By sacrificing the light of one eye, the user could rewrite reality itself within a short window turning damage into illusion, and preserving only favorable outcomes.
Danzō straightened.
Completely unharmed.
"Interesting," he said calmly.
"You are far more troublesome than expected."
His tone remained steady.
No anger.
No panic.
"Chūnin in rank… yet your combat ability exceeds most jōnin."
He glanced down briefly
At the arm hidden beneath his robes.
There
Embedded within
Multiple Sharingan.
Still sealed.
One eye used.
No concern.
He had more.
"Carelessness would be costly," he continued.
"But it changes nothing."
Chinatsu's breathing steadied slightly.
So it's confirmed.
Her advantage
Knowledge.
He didn't know what she knew.
That was her only edge.
Overpowering him is impossible.
So I have to outplay him.
Danzō suddenly paused.
His gaze lingered on her eyes
Those spinning tomoe.
And for a brief moment
He was reminded of someone else.
Uchiha Shisui.
"…Interesting," he murmured.
Then
A faint smile appeared.
"I've changed my mind."
Chinatsu's body tensed.
"I won't kill you."
The words were worse than a death sentence.
Danzō stepped forward slowly.
"Killing you yields only a pair of eyes."
"But controlling you…"
His gaze sharpened.
"…yields far more."
In his mind, calculations unfolded rapidly.
Two remaining Uchiha.
Two children bound by emotional ties.
If one could be controlled
The other would follow.
And through them
The future of the Uchiha bloodline itself.
A perfect tool.
A perfect weapon.
Beneath his bandages
His greatest trump card rested.
Without hesitation
Danzō raised his hand
And removed the covering over his right eye.
A pattern unlike the standard Sharingan emerged.
A Mangekyō.
Not his own.
Uchiha Shisui's eye.
"Using your brother's power against you…"
Danzō's voice lowered.
"…perhaps this is fate."
The chakra in the air shifted.
Subtle
Yet absolute.
"Accept it."
His eye focused.
"Kotoamatsukami."
A genjutsu beyond ordinary illusion
A technique capable of rewriting will itself
