Kakashi slowly stepped away from the bushes that covered his vision, revealing a distant scene...
“This...” The scenery in front of him shocked him; it was a huge army; in a rough count, Kakashi counted over one thousand and five hundred shinobi gathered outside the volcano, it implies that all the shinobi who were secretly transported outside the village by Danzo have gathered here...
"However, this doesn't make sense..." No matter how hard he tried, he could not find a reason why over a thousand shinobi would meet here from all locations... It's in the middle of nowhere!
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Kakashi pulled the one-eyed telescope from his shinoby package and peered towards the Volcano.
Although Kakashi benefited greatly in the sense that he no longer worried about the low Chakra reserves resulting from the loss of the Sharingan, the insight and vision gains he had as a result of the Sharingan were also no longer available... As a result, he now had to rely on equipment such as binoculars and monoculars.
“It...!” Kakashi was shocked when he found a patterned array under the feet of the gathered shinobi.
"This is no ordinary gathering...! Looks like there's a Fuinjutsu under their feet..."
'What the hell is Danzo doing?' he wondered in his heart, his heart pounding.
Despite the fact that Kakashi has no idea what Danzo is planning, his instincts tell him that it will be a terrible thing, but, so he immediately wrote down everything he observed in a scroll and sent it to Sarutobi Hiruzen through a call.
"The answer to all my doubts should be on that volcano!" he said while following a network of fuinjutsu that connects about one thousand and five hundred shinobi all the way to the entrance of the volcano.
Security at the entrance of the volcano, on the other hand, was extremely tight. On the plus side, there were four teams watching the entrance, and in the darkness, there were over a dozen Shinobi Roots watching the entrance. When Kakashi saw this, he scowled and said, 'How do I get in?'
…
On the ritual altar inside the Volcano.
The three people exchanged strange smiles and then quietly turned their gazes as the steps towards the start of the ritual were completed.
Danzo threw his crutches at his attendants and sat cross-legged at the ritual altar while walking towards the center of the altar.
On the side of Homusubi and Orochimaru
Homusubi took out a storage scroll from his robe and took out an observation device.
According to logic, he should be able to observe the entire ritual with the help of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, but to be safe, he brought this observation equipment with him to supervise the ritual.
After all, this 'Kkei Genkai Absorption Ritual' was the only one. He only had one chance, and he wanted to obtain as much useful information from this ceremony as possible... In this case, no mistakes will be accepted.
As a result, observation equipment is required.
Orochimaru looked at the old Homusubi and thought before asking, "Are you the only one from Amatsukami who will carry out this ritual?" At the very least, I anticipate Fujin to appear..."
"It looks like Fujin's condition is much worse than I imagined it would be..." "It looks like Danzo has another opinion as well." said Orochimaru, then silently looked at the Shinobi Root surrounding them.
Homusubi nodded and glanced at the surroundings of the room.
Many Shinobi Roots gathered around Homusubi and Orochimaru, and he concluded that they were all elite shinobi based on their chakra reserves.
But that was the end; homusubi had lost interest in them. All of Danzo's actions are worthless to him as long as he achieves his goals.
Moreover, Homusubi was not sure if Danzo intended to kill them or he just took precautions to avoid Orochimaru and Homusubi... After all, he doesn't care what Danzo's intentions are.
Soon after, the root shinobi had helped Danzo away from the ritual altar, and Danzo gently closed his eyes.
He stood up straight and shouted, "Start!" with a grandiose tone after taking a few deep breaths.
Orochimaru followed these instructions and moved towards the starting point of the Fuinjutsu formation, weaving a series of Signatures before slamming both his hands to the ground and shouting, "Kai!"
Whooshing sound!
A red brilliance suddenly enveloped the ritual altar as Orochimaru finished his key, and a swirling stream of air appeared within the volcano.
The target that had been in a coma until recently regained consciousness along with the vortex of hot air currents.
"Ap... What am I doing here?!"
"Who are you, and why did you bring me here?"
"Please... Woo.. please don't kill me..."
People from civilian backgrounds who did not have formal Shinobi training obviously cried and begged.
They were just lucky people born with the unusual Kekkei Genkai, but their good fortune did not last long... Despite the potential to become great shinobi in the future, they became targets of Danzo and are now victims of this ritual.
Clearly, Danzo, Orochimaru, and Homusubi did not feel sympathy for the three, and they did not even blink when they heard their plea.
And, unlike the three targets crying against a civilian background, the shinobi of Kumogakure and Kirigakure who were also tethered to the torture post carefully studied the situation and after seeing the person in the middle of the ritual altar, studied the situation, they yelled at him, "Shimura Danzo .. Do you know the consequences of what you're doing?"
"You traitors.you have broken off the alliance, Mizukage-sama will not forgive you!" shouted a shinobi from Kirigakure.
Danzo snorted angrily at the Kumogakure and Kirigakure shinobi's words, "Huh..."
