Part Time Employee in Konoha

Chapter 206: Wake up to reality, Lord Danzo

Shimura Danzo's mind was somewhat fragmented.

Perhaps it was due to the aftereffects of having once been subjected to the limited Tsukuyomi illusion technique.

Had Akihara Kagura not been so young, Danzo might have even entertained the illusion that his entire life was manipulated by Kagura.

"Hmph..."

"Speaking of providing for me in my old age..."

"Yet always plotting to put me in mortal danger..."

As Shimura Danzo spoke, he slowly began to unwind the bandages around his body: "From the first day you stood before me, you acted as if you would only follow my commands, yet behind my back you disobeyed them, and you probably thought of this day long ago, didn't you?"

"There was no choice."

Kagura shook his head and sighed: "I once fantasized about being loyal to Lord Danzo, but upon reflection, it felt rather disgusting, especially since Lord Danzo's actions with Yakushi Kabuto and Dean Yakushi Nono were too contrary to humanity..."

Shimura Danzo shook his head and sighed: "If one cannot resolve to use cruel means, then it's impossible to achieve the goal of protecting Konoha..."

"Lord Danzo."

Kagura interrupted Shimura Danzo, smiling helplessly: "We might as well save such words to deceive others; if others know they've been deceived by you, they just laugh it off. It's pointless to deceive oneself. Everyone here is from the root itself, there's no need to deceive ourselves..."

Shimura Danzo glared at Kagura hatefully.

This bastard!

Still questioning my resolve to protect Konoha!

"If you truly want to protect Konoha..."

Seeing the shock and anger in Shimura Danzo's eyes, Kagura asked a critical question: "Why would you collaborate with us in the plan to collapse Konoha? Lord Danzo, you must be well aware of Orochimaru's menace, yet you still conspired with him, didn't you?"

Shimura Danzo was somewhat at a loss for words!

Yet the old man quickly found an opportunity to retort, speaking sternly: "That's because I always thought those dual Kekkei Genkai ninjas were experiments created by monkey, and I was merely seeking justice. Little did I know that it was you setting me up behind the scenes..."

"Why do you think you're entitled to justice?"

Kagura pointed to the surviving Uchihas and countered: "Who will seek justice for them? To go and ask the Second Hokage for justice?"

"Stepping back..."

"You always say that a ninja needs to sacrifice themselves."

Looking at Shimura Danzo, Kagura's gaze was mocking: "Lord Danzo, why can't you sacrifice your own reputation?"

"If you willingly bore the blame for conducting illegal experiments on dual Kekkei Genkai ninjas, how could I possibly have the chance to incite you to turn against the Third Hokage?"

"At most, you could only be killed to destroy the evidence..."

Shimura Danzo was at a loss for words.

Even Yamanaka Fu, standing behind Kagura, found the conversation somewhat ludicrous and couldn't help but sneak a glance at Kagura, only to be stopped mischievous ideas by Aburame Torune gaze.

"To be frank."

Kagura stared at the speechless Shimura Danzo and coldly pierced through Danzo's thoughts: "You always believe that a ninja needs to sacrifice themselves because it's always someone else being sacrificed, as long as it's not yourself..."

"You evil little demon!"

The corners of Shimura Danzo's eyes twitched angrily, as if struck to the core, he harshly cursed: "It's just the remnants of the Uchiha hidden within Konoha that I brought back, what right do you have to say I won't choose sacrifice!"

As Shimura Danzo spoke, he fiercely ripped open his collar, revealing a black curse mark on his chest, assuming a somewhat righteous demeanor: "Don't think I fear death; my sacrifice will only come at the most critical moment!"

Kagura looked at the curse mark on Shimura Danzo's chest, frowning.

Shimura Danzo remembered the teachings left to him by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, and a resolute look appeared in his eyes: "I have indeed made great mistakes, always hesitating at critical moments, but this time I will not err again..."

Like now!

For instance, by using this ultimate technique, Shimura Danzo, along with Akihara Kagura and these surviving members of the Uchiha, would perish together, eliminating all potential threats lurking in the shadows against Konoha!

Suddenly, the black curse seal on Shimura Danzo's chest activates, spraying out a jet-black liquid like a showerhead, continuously falling onto the floor of the Root's corridor!

This is Shimura Danzo's ultimate technique, the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing!

Once this technique is activated, all of Danzo's blood will be expelled, and the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing curse marks previously engraved on his body will rapidly expand, sealing everything within the vicinity completely!

This Root base...

Will also be utterly destroyed by the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing!

Whether it's Akihara Kagura...

Or the spies behind him, Torune and Fu...

And those Uchiha remnants who survived the night of the massacre at the Root base, all of whom are threats to Konoha, will be destroyed here together!

At this moment, Shimura Danzo feels a sense of mission.

The Root is his creation; he built this Root base, he brought Akihara Kagura back to Konoha, everything started with him...

If that's the case...

Then let everything be destroyed here!

All these troubles created by himself should be destroyed today by his own hands, along with the mistakes he made!

"What are you trying to do? What is this?"

Akihara Kagura, seeing the black blood sprayed around, has a look of shock and anger on his face, and a wooden spike appears in his hand, ready to shoot towards Shimura Danzo at any moment!

"Kid, it's too late!"

Shimura Danzo, seeing the confusion and anger on Akihara Kagura's face, smiles somewhat disdainfully: "Even you would not have expected this technique. This is the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing I prepared for myself, ready to sacrifice for Konoha..."

"Once I am captured or killed, to prevent my body from falling into enemy hands and secrets being extracted from it, I will activate the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing, burying my body within this technique..."

"Once this technique is activated, it cannot be stopped..."

Shimura Danzo stares at Akihara Kagura, feeling immensely towering, even looking down at her slightly: "Kid, don't think that I only talk about the ninja's need for self-sacrifice, don't question my loyalty to Konoha, my sacrifice will definitely be for saving Konoha at a critical moment..."

"Right here..."

"I will use my own life..."

"To eliminate all hidden crises in Konoha!"

As Shimura Danzo speaks his last words, there is a hint of madness in his eyes, and within this madness, there is a sort of resignation to death.

"Hmph..."

"I wonder what's going on with Monkey..."

"That naive fool Monkey, I wonder if he is still alive at this time, whether I will sacrifice for Konoha first, or Monkey will sacrifice to protect Konoha first..."

At this moment...

Shimura Danzo actually thinks of his old friend, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The bonds of the ninja world are always so unique; Shimura Danzo, at this critical moment close to death, still thinks of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Shimura Danzo is well aware of all the actions of Konoha's collapse plan, knowing that at this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen should be facing Orochimaru and the two former Hokage reanimated through Edo Tensei, possibly also close to death...

Will the two of them...

Sacrifice at the same time?

If so, it seems to be a kind of fate.

Because they have been together since childhood, lived a lifetime together, and in the end, both sacrificed for the protection of Konoha, that must be the bond that Monkey always talks about?

As Shimura Danzo's mind wanders a bit, Akihara Kagura's voice enters his ears, piercingly sharp.

"Wake up..."

"Lord Danzo, you're under a genjutsu."

"..."

Shimura Danzo's expression changes.

It seems he really was under a genjutsu.

Shimura Danzo had always believed that he had released the Four Symbols Seal Technique, sacrificing himself for the village by completely sealing away Akihara Kagura and a group of remaining Uchiha...

Unexpectedly...

He had fallen victim to an illusion!

And it was just a basic Sharingan hypnotic illusion!

"Sharingan, huh?"

Shimura Danzo immediately raised his finger to dispel the illusion. His clothes were still properly worn, as if nothing had happened, which made his heart sink.

"When did..."

Shimura Danzo incredulously touched his chest.

When exactly had he been put under an illusion!

However, it could have been any time since everyone present was an Uchiha, all possessing the Sharingan, and it was possible that he had been put under an illusion at any moment.

Was it because he did not possess the Sharingan, or because he had consumed too much chakra, that he was unable to resist such an illusion?

"Just when I activated the Sharingan..."

Akihara Kagura looked at Shimura Danzo, appearing innocently: "Lord Danzo, when you spoke, you had to look into my Sharingan, even several times. I thought you couldn't accept reality, so I put you under an illusion..."

"I don't understand..."

"Why do you keep mumbling about sacrificing yourself during the illusion, Lord Danzo? How would you sacrifice yourself?"

"You bastard!"

Shimura Danzo tore open his collar!

This time, Shimura Danzo was certain he had escaped the illusion, not under any illusion, and he immediately began to perform the Four Symbols Seal here!

The next moment!

Shimura Danzo's body began to spray black blood!

On Shimura Danzo's chest, the curse script of the Four Symbols Seal faintly erupted!

However, Akihara Kagura suddenly appeared next to Shimura Danzo, his fingers swiftly forming seals, touching several acupoints on Shimura Danzo's chest!

Shimura Danzo's blood immediately stopped spraying out!

The elderly man looked at Akihara Kagura in astonishment, his pupils dilated as he angrily shouted: "Once the Four Symbols Seal is activated, it's absolutely impossible to stop..."

"Sword."

Akihara Kagura extended his hand, and a Root ninja quickly rushed over, handing a sharp ninja sword into his hand.

Akihara Kagura drew the ninja sword, chakra instantly attached to the blade, and he swiftly slashed twice, leaving a crossed mark on Shimura Danzo's chest, even cutting open the flesh without any blood flowing out!

Akihara Kagura then released the ninja sword, quickly formed two seals with his hands, and slapped Shimura Danzo's chest, his hand striking out another palm!

"Four Symbols Eight Trigrams Seal!"

Accompanied by the two Four Symbols Seal scripts in Akihara Kagura's hand landing on Shimura Danzo, the script of the Reverse Four Symbols Seal was instantly destroyed!

Even...

The pre-carved script of the Reverse Four Symbols Seal on Shimura Danzo vanished without a trace, the crossed wounds immediately gushing out red blood!

Shimura Danzo's body staggered back against the wall, frantically pounding on his chest, hoping his killing move would take immediate effect.

However, with the script already gone, Shimura Danzo's pounding only made the cross-shaped wounds on his chest worse, nearly unable to suppress his own pain.

"Lord Danzo."

Akihara Kagura patted his hands, as if he had done a trivial matter: "Every technique has its counter, even forbidden techniques..."

Because he possessed the "Forbidden Technique Master" trait, Akihara Kagura could easily counter the trouble brought by the Four Symbols Seal, completely destroying Shimura Danzo's hopes.

"Oh, right."

Akihara Kagura looked at the cross-shaped cuts on Shimura Danzo's chest, voluntarily said: "Those two slashes were not the counter, I just wanted to see whether the blood flowing out after breaking the Four Symbols Seal was red or black..."

"Damn..."

The hatred in Shimura Danzo's eyes almost spilled out.

"I didn't expect your blood to be red too..."

Akihara Kagura beckoned, casually ordered: "Go call Kabuto over, help Lord Danzo stop the bleeding, lest he die from too much blood loss..."

"Akihara Kagura, just kill me now!"

Shimura Danzo glared at Akihara Kagura, wanting only to be killed immediately, no longer enduring any humiliation and torture!

"You should learn from Lord Orochimaru..."

Akihara Kagura glanced at Shimura Danzo and shook his head, continuing, "Never mind, after all, you were once my superior, so I will help you one last time..."

"Go prepare a sample of the First Hokage's cells."

"Be ready to transplant them into Lord Danzo at any moment. Just sprinkle the First Hokage's cells onto the wounds I've made. I intend to use Lord Danzo as a sacrifice to revive the Third /Bleam
