Chapter 53 Itachi and Tenzo, a low-budget Sengoku period [✪ω✪]
Watching his old friend's triumphant departure, Sarutobi's old face broke into a chrysanthemum-like expression.
Danzo, Danzo, I know you so well, how could I not have thought of this?
"Lord Hokage, you can send the next temporary leader over at any time."
"I said sincerely."
Yes, the earlier they arrive, the earlier they die, and the sooner Lord Danzo will return.
At that time, we will use the head of the temporary leader who was sent to respectfully invite Lord Danzo to return.
The two-day period has ended.
Welcome back, Lord Danzo!
I'm getting a little excited just thinking about it. Will Lord Danzo promote me to A rank because of my outstanding performance?
Danzo: You don't understand the pain of losing your beloved.
"I see. Let's do it now then."
Sarutobi squinted, smiled, and said in a gentle tone.
?
"Now?"
Itachi Uchiha was startled by Sarutobi's actions.
Didn't they just say they would find someone later?
It seems they came prepared.
Unfortunately, even if you send that defector over, he'll be dead in less than half a day!
"Slap, slap."
Sarutobi clapped his hands, and an ANBU member stepped forward from the group of ANBU members behind him.
He wore a fox mask, his long black hair was tied back, and he carried a long sword on his back.
"One against seven, so I'm leaving the root management in your hands, is that alright?"
Let's go back to the night Shisui died.
After Itachi buried Shisui's body, he was summoned to the Hokage's office by Sarutobi.
The moon was very round at that time, and Itachi walked slowly on the road, without his usual decisive and efficient manner.
He was pondering how to change the current situation and how to fulfill his deceased best friend's dream.
The thought of filial piety causing the whole family to die suddenly welled up in my mind.
Or should we wipe out the Uchiha clan?
Extremist: Am I an extremist or are you an extremist?
The darker aspects of the kaleidoscope led Itachi's thoughts toward extremes.
No, that's not right, how could I have such a thought?
Mother, father, Sasuke... Izumi.
But the village...
In this extremely chaotic situation, Itachi walked to the door of the Hokage's office.
"Da da da".
A gentle knock sounded on the door, startling Sarutobi awake.
Under the dim light, he rubbed his temples.
Sigh, getting old just means you're no longer useful.
"One against seven, huh? Come on in."
Itachi pushed open the door, walked in, and stood there silently.
"Itachi, can you tell me what happened?"
"What exactly did Shisui Uchiha go through?"
Sarutobi's tone was very gentle, like that of a kind old neighbor.
"Shisui discovered that Danzo had been persecuting the Uchiha clan and wanted to confront Danzo to resolve the issue."
"But it failed. It was Danzo's trap, his aim was to obtain Shisui's eyes."
"Shisui sacrificed two Sharingan eyes through a secret technique to gain power and escape."
"But still... he didn't survive."
Itachi's voice was somewhat listless.
After all, his best friend had died just a few hours ago, and he really wanted to go and kill everyone who was in his way.
For example, Danzo Shimura, or extremists within the clan.
All the causes and effects have beenfallen upon me, and I alone shall bear all the sins.
Could this change the future of the family and the village?
This is what the weasel was thinking.
Sarutobi sighed heavily. "I see."
"Go back to sleep first. I know what happened. Tomorrow you'll come with me to find Danzo."
"Don't worry, I swear in the name of the Hokage that I will absolutely protect your safety and make Danzo pay for his actions."
Sarutobi was also very angry.
He went to great lengths, giving so many speeches and implementing so many policies, all in an effort to ease tensions between the Uchiha clan and the village.
You bastard Danzo, you've been secretly causing trouble while I wasn't looking.
If you're going to go find those extreme radicals, fine, but go find the good kid Shisui who just told you about the The Mangekyō Sharingan ability.
I can guess what you're thinking right away.
Fortunately, Shisui escaped, and Danzo did not get his eyes.
Since that's the case, then I won't show any mercy.
If you don't want to sit in the seat at the base, there are plenty of people who will sit for you!
The scene returns to the present.
Itachi slowly walked towards Otoko, with Tenzo following behind him.
After learning about Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan, Sarutobi had the idea of handing over the Root organization to him.
However, given the internal problems within the Root, it would be safer for Tenzo to be with Itachi.
(Tobirama's comment: What a low-budget version of the eldest brother combined with the evil Uchiha Madara!)
And so, the Root members welcomed their "big dads".
Before Danzo Shimura could react, the next second their eyes met those scarlet and mysterious Sharingan eyes.
Then his consciousness was pulled into a scarlet world.
"I am in control of everything here."
"Now, enjoy the darkness."
Itachi Uchiha was tied to a wooden stake, while dozens of weasels picked up whips.
Discipline is also a form of teaching.
It's not good to fail to train your future subordinates properly.
Because it is a spiritual world, the transmission here can alleviate the constraints of the curse seal on Danzo Shimura to some extent.
Hmm, Orochimaru?
Since they're all under control, why don't we... kill them all?
Itachi, feeling somewhat inflated by the powerful energy of the Mangekyō Sharingan, thought this way.
However, I still need to consult with the third generation of officials.
Should we ask the three generations of elders for some help then?
I think this idea is good.
Itachi and Tenzo successfully controlled all the remaining Root members by using the combination of Mangekyou Sharingan and Wood Release.
The specific process is as follows.
First, Tenzo used Wood Release to create a cage and then opened it.
Then, Itachi's kaleidoscope flashed in the members' pupils.
Finally, close the cage, and wooden posts will automatically extend from the cage to bind the root members.
And just like that, a root member was miraculously brought under control.
Tenzo: For my former colleagues, I chose a more comfortable binding method.
One of the Root members who woke up later to find his buttocks being pushed into by a wooden pillar expressed great pain!
Ah, what a joyous occasion!
In less than half a day, since Oto, who was a key member from the beginning, was taken into custody, and many other members of the Anbu were left behind to help, Danzo's remaining subordinates were all tied up.
Members of the Dark Side: Our job is to open and close doors.
The Third Hokage had long since passed away, and he believed that the two new generations of Konoha were capable of completing the mission.
In fact, he's not very useful just staying here. If a real fight breaks out, he might not be as useful as Itachi or Tenzo.
Since it's not a long-lasting attack, we can't very well use the Corpse Demon Seal to strike at the root, can we?
That Danzo would be laughing his head off.
Kakashi looked at his junior who was controlling Root, and felt a mix of emotions. Perhaps it was time for him to improve his own strength.
However, Danzo's assistant, who was just walking away happily, probably never imagined this scene.
Danzo: Where are my men?!
