Somewhere in the Land of Hot Springs.
A middle-aged man with black hair and a cross-shaped scar on his chin was sitting inside a dark little cave, involuntarily chewing on hard meat, and thinking of something. This middle-aged was none other than Shimura Danzo who was hiding in this cave to rest for a while.
After rumors about him began to circulate throughout the Shinobi World, he was chased and attacked many times... His current situation was no different from a stray dog, he had no place to go.
However, he did not care at all about this.. What he was more worried about was, “I do not understand...why did Amatsukami really keep quiet? They were supposed to make some kind of gesture after hearing all the rumors about me. But I have never seen or heard anything about Amatsukami since that day at the volcano.”.
This question had haunted him.
At first Danzo thought that the female Homusubi of Amatsukami must have had the same intentions as her, he should also be eager to absorb the visual power of his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan so that his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan can evolve to a higher level of Dojutsu, thus , he was pretty sure that the rumors about the problem in his soul and about his weakness would attract the attention of Homusubi!
But he had been waiting for weeks for her to show up, thinking that she would definitely come ... However, it turns out that Amatsukami did not move, even Homusubi did not appear in the Shinobi World for the past few months… it was as if he was completely uninterested in his pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!
You should know that the effect of the rumors was very good even small shinobi villages like Kusagakure, and Takigakure, as well as some small mercenary organizations, also killed him, he said, but Amatsukami shows no interest at all.. This lack of movement cannot help but make Danzo increasingly suspicious and doubtful, “Could Homusubi still not believe in rumors, and doubt the whole problem in this soul? But Homusubi was present there during the ritual, he should have realized something? Or maybe not? But if that's the case, then how do you make him believe? How do I convince him that I am currently weak, and he can kill me easily?”
Just as Danzo was trying to figure out a way to deceive Homusubi, suddenly, his senses tingled, and his eyes turned to the entrance of the cave.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh
As Danzo looked outside, he realized that some shinobi had appeared outside and surrounded the cave…
Intending to check on the identity of the person who tried to kill him this time, Danzo quickly finished off the hard flesh, then slowly walked towards the entrance of the cave.
After walking out, he discovered that the people around the cave were none other than Anbus Konoha…
Moving his gaze, and seeing everything one by one, Danzo quickly recognized the two people, 'Hatake Kakashi, and Uchiha Itachi...!' and thought to himself, 'It looks like Sarutobi has transferred Kakashi to Team Ro... Well, at least Uchiha Shisui is not here. His presence will make things a bit troublesome.'
Although each of them wore an Anbu mask, Danzo was able to recognize them at first glance, especially that iconic silver hair.
And as Danzo observes Kakashi, Itachi, and the rest of Team Ro, Team Ro members also observe Danzo…
The first thing they noticed about him was that he looked very young and excited compared to the appearance of the frail old man he used to maintain in Konoha.
Danzo's eyes flashed, he quickly shook his head in panic, and tried to reason, “Wait...... Wait.. You guys are people from Konoha, right? Please save me.. I do not want to die.. I am not Danzo, I am not him, why should I die!”.
The Anbu members raised their eyebrows, thinking of the rumors that circulated around the shinobi world, about how Danzo's body held many souls.. After pondering a little, Kakashi asked, “If you are not him, then you are not him, then who are you..”
Danzo immediately replied.. “I... Katsuki... Uzumaki Katsuki... I am innocent, and I have nothing to do with him.. please.... please don't kill me!”.
Kakashi replied, "So, you are the remnant of Uzumaki that Danzo used in his ritual .. Well, then, obey and come with us ..."
Danzo aka 'Katsuki' asked, “How do I know you guys won't kill me?”
Kakashi shrugged, “Regardless of what you know or think, if you obey, you will not be killed, but if not, then we will execute you, don't believe it if you don't want to…"
“Then..” Katsuki muttered, “I will be alone..” and then disappear from his position in the blink of an eye.
Not surprisingly, Kakashi immediately instructed, "Use plan F.." and then he disappeared from his position.
At the same time, the rest of Team Ro began to chase after Danzo.
While Running, Danzo looks back from time to time and realizes that Anbu Konoha, including Kakashi, is following her up close, he suddenly had a brilliant idea!
After being part of Konoha's senior management, and also serving as a temporary Hokage for several months, Danzo learned of the agreement between Konoha and Amatsukami… so he felt he could use these Anbu members to convince Homusubi. If he suffered at the hands of this Anbu, then no doubt, Homusubi should believe that right now, he is very weak…! And this is a great time to take advantage!
With such a plan in mind, Danzo nodded to himself ... And just as he was about to act, several Kunai were shot towards him by one of the Anbu who followed him, Danzo felt Kunai coming towards him, he turned his head, and was about to avoid them, Danzo felt Kunai coming towards him, that's when it happened.
Before he could take a single step to avoid anything, all he saw was a strange red World. At the same time a silver glint appeared in front of him out of nowhere, and the next thing he knew, he felt a sharp pain coming from his chest…
Trickled…
"What?" Unable to figure out what had just happened in the blink of an eye, Danzo looked down and saw a lightning-covered arm running down his chest… and three black tomoe swirled in another pair of Anbu red eyes…
"Cough…!"
