Shadow Binding Technique.
A secret ninjutsu of the Nara clan of Konoha. Normally, Chinatsu should never have been able to use it. But her left eye's ability "Replication" broke that rule entirely.
Some time ago, she had quietly visited the Ninja Academy during a sparring session. While Naruto and the others were training, she had observed Shikamaru Nara from a distance and used her Mangekyou ability to copy his technique directly.
That was how she obtained the Shadow Binding Technique.
It consumed about 1.33 times the normal chakra cost when replicated through her Mangekyou Sharingan, but it was usable. Flexible. Deadly.
Still, stealing a clan technique from a child… objectively speaking, it was pretty shameless.
But right now, there was no time to feel guilty.
Danzo, Chinatsu, and the Root member who had been "assigned" as her future husband were all bound together by shadows. The technique connected their movements through their shadows, suppressing all three bodies at once.
Chinatsu could feel it clearly Danzo and the Root ninja were both struggling hard to break free. Their chakra surged violently against the restraint.
But she held firm.
Not forever. Not perfectly. But long enough.
A few minutes was enough.
The Mangekyou pattern in Chinatsu's eyes rotated faintly.
Danzo, standing directly in front of her, suddenly felt his stolen Sharingan react violently. The eye embedded in his arm throbbed with pain, as if rejecting her presence.
"You bastard… you awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan too?!" Danzo roared, veins bulging as he struggled against the Shadow Binding Technique.
Chinatsu tilted her head slightly.
"If I didn't, how could I have stood under you for four years?"
Her voice turned colder.
"Pretending to be obedient… pretending to be your piece on the board… honestly, it was disgusting."
Danzo gritted his teeth. "You think you've won?! Izanagi will "
Chinatsu interrupted him immediately.
"Izanagi needs hand seals. Rabbit, Boar, Sheep… right?"
A small smile appeared.
"But can you move your fingers right now?"
Silence.
Danzo's expression stiffened.
She was right.
He couldn't move at all.
But even then, Danzo didn't panic. Izanagi was his ultimate insurance. As long as he had time
Chinatsu exhaled softly.
"You're thinking I'm trapped too, aren't you?"
Danzo's eyes narrowed.
"Shadow Binding Technique links the caster too both sides are restricted."
"Correct," Chinatsu replied casually.
Then she raised her hand slightly.
"Shadow Clone Technique."
Danzo's eyes widened slightly.
Impossible. She couldn't form hand seals either
But Chinatsu didn't need to.
A shadow clone had already been prepared.
From behind a pillar, a second Chinatsu stepped out calmly.
Danzo's expression finally shifted.
That clone was free.
And for him, even a genin-level threat was lethal in this state.
Chinatsu's clone walked forward slowly, stopping in front of him.
The silence in the room became suffocating.
"This is the part I don't like," Chinatsu muttered. "Watching people realize it's over, but still being unable to do anything."
Her clone raised a hand.
Chakra gathered.
Lightning flickered faintly.
"Goodbye."
A sharp sound
A flash of motion
The hand pierced Danzo's chest clean through.
Blood spilled onto the floor.
Danzo's body trembled violently, his eyes widening in disbelief as life drained from him.
Not Izanagi.
Not escape.
Just death.
Chinatsu exhaled.
It wasn't joy.
It was release.
Four years of acting. Four years of waiting. Four years under his shadow.
Finally over.
As Danzo's body collapsed, Chinatsu immediately moved. Her clone reached into his arm and extracted the stolen Sharingan belonging to Shisui Uchiha.
"Kotoamatsukami… recovered."
Danzo's grip loosened completely as his last breath faded.
"Goodbye, Shimura Danzo."
The Shadow Binding Technique was released.
The Root member her so-called "groom" reacted instantly, lunging forward in rage.
But Chinatsu didn't hesitate.
Step.
Dodge.
Pierce.
A second strike went straight through his heart.
No emotion. No hesitation.
Just efficiency.
She watched him fall and sighed lightly.
"I've stabbed two hearts today… I'm really becoming dangerous."
She even laughed a little after saying it.
A bitter joke, but still a joke.
Then she cleaned up.
Danzo's remaining Sharingan embedded in his arm were removed one by one. It felt disgusting, but leaving them behind would be wasteful.
She summoned bottles using Summoning Technique, sealed the eyes inside, then reversed the summoning back to storage.
Finally
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique."
Flames roared from her mouth, consuming both bodies completely.
Danzo Shimura would not exist in Konoha anymore.
And if he did, it would only be as ash.
That night, Chinatsu walked home as if nothing had happened.
One Mangekyou Sharingan recovered.
One hidden war quietly erased.
Somewhere far away
Uchiha Itachi suddenly sneezed.
"Hmm?" Kisame tilted his head slightly. "You actually get sick?"
"It's nothing," Itachi replied calmly. "Just a normal reaction."
"Ordinary? You?"
Itachi didn't answer. His gaze drifted upward toward the sky.
Sasuke…
What are you doing right now?
"…I need to hurry."
