The skills within the System are all-encompassing, including healing, binding, and enemy destruction... The two skills Ge Liang used this time were Annihilation, which belongs to the Enemy Destruction Category, and Deprivation, which belongs to the Binding Category.
Therefore, after using 'Deprivation' on Danzo and Torune, the two of them did not die. Ge Liang merely deprived them of their 'everything,' including their five senses, bodily control, self-awareness, and so on.
The current Danzo is like a stone; although he still has life, he is practically dead. "Hmm... I feel like this is letting him off too easily."
Ge Liang's plan was actually to leave Danzo for Sasuke to deal with—not the current Sasuke, of course. Once Sasuke's strength is sufficient, he will tell Sasuke the truth about the Uchiha clan massacre.
Once Sasuke knows the truth, he will definitely seek revenge against Danzo. If Ge Liang hands Danzo over at that time, he will certainly receive Danzo's gratitude.
It's not that Ge Liang needs Sasuke's gratitude; he just doesn't want the tragedy of brother fighting brother to happen again.
If there's a chance to open the internet cafe in Amegakure later, with Uchiha Itachi as an undercover agent, it's very possible to drag all the Akatsuki Organization members online.
However, Sasuke undoubtedly needs some time to gain sufficient strength. During this period, with Danzo's 'everything' Deprived, he naturally won't feel anything.
When Ge Liang finally wakes him up, he will only feel like he just slept, completely unable to perceive the passage of time. "Hmm... maybe I should restore some of his senses."
Thinking this, Ge Liang raised his hand and directly restored some of Danzo's perception and cognition, allowing him to sense everything happening outside and feel the passage of time even while 'unconscious.'
This state—having perception but being unable to move, trapped in darkness silently waiting for death—is undoubtedly the best punishment for Danzo. One or two days would be fine, but over a long period, Danzo might very well be tortured into madness.
Ge Liang doesn't care if Danzo goes crazy; he's going to be killed by Sasuke in the end anyway. "But what about Torune?"
Ge Liang doesn't hold much malice toward Aburame Torune. He's just a subordinate following Danzo's orders, at most a blade in the hands of an executioner. But to say he is innocent would certainly be incorrect.
"Forget it. When Shino comes, I'll hand him over to Shino." Ge Liang didn't know the relationship between the two, but since they are members of the same clan, he might as well give Shino some Face.
"Alright, where should I hide them next?" "Damn the System, why didn't it give me something like a Portable Space?"
After considering the layout of his internet cafe, Ge Liang ultimately decided to hide the two people in his bedroom first. "Sleeping in the middle of the night, suddenly remembering there are two people hidden in my bedroom..."
"Damn it, the more I think about it, the creepier it gets." Shivering, Ge Liang quickly shook the terrifying image out of his mind. "They're just two immobile 'dead people' anyway, what am I afraid of?"
"Worst case, I'll use the 'Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt' Absolute Defense when I sleep." "But why is the name of this Absolute Defense so ridiculous? I'm not Sha Yi, that clown..."
..."Fujian, why hasn't Danzo-sama come out yet?" Outside the entrance, several Root members responsible for the blockade were feeling strange.
Normally, the Internet Cafe Owner should have been subdued by Danzo-sama by now. But not only has Danzo-sama not come out, there hasn't been any movement inside the internet cafe either. "Mashima, why don't you go in and check?"
"Fujian Old Thief, you know Danzo-sama's temper! Are you trying to send me to my death?" "Tch, you actually figured it out. It serves you right for losing at cards a few days ago and refusing to pay me back."
"Screw you! I'm telling you right now, I'm not paying you back." "Fujian Old Thief, you're looking for death." "Hiro Mashima, what are you going to do about it?"..."Alright, you two stop arguing. I'll go in and check first." As the Captain of this squad, Takehiko Inoue also felt something was wrong, so he decided to boldly go inside and look. "Captain, be careful."
"Captain... Ganbatte!" (
•̀_•́)ง Shaking his head and ignoring the two guys, Takehiko Inoue walked straight into the internet cafe.
By this time, Ge Liang had already dragged Danzo and Torune's 'corpses' back to the bedroom. When Takehiko Inoue entered, he saw Ge Liang sitting calmly in a chair, drinking tea.
"Where is Danzo-sama? What did you do to Danzo-sama?" Seeing this scene, Takehiko Inoue drew the sword from his back and looked at Ge Liang warily. "Danzo? I already killed him."
"Impossible." Hearing such dreadful news, Takehiko Inoue ignored everything else, let out a strange cry to alert the people outside to come in, and immediately attacked Ge Liang. "Hmph, overestimating yourself." "Annihilation."
Danzo is still useful, and Torune is, after all, Shino's clansman. But what are this guy and the others outside? Aside from a few orphans Danzo tricked, most of the remaining people are discarded members of various Families.
Ge Liang truly had no qualms about these people. In order to intimidate Hiruzen Sarutobi, he might as well go on a killing spree today.
When the alerted people outside rushed in, they happened to witness Takehiko Inoue's disappearance, and cold sweat immediately broke out on everyone's forehead.
But there was nothing they could do; Danzo had already implanted them all with the vicious Cursed Seal. If something happened to Danzo, none of them could escape. Therefore, no matter how scared they were, none of the Root members present fled.
Since the enemies didn't run, Ge Liang was spared trouble. He simply used 'Annihilation' to kill all the Root members who rushed into the internet cafe, making them vanish from the world.
"Heh, with Root losing so many personnel, I'd like to see what expression Hiruzen Sarutobi will make."...Early the next morning, Hiruzen Sarutobi woke up as usual, ate breakfast, and slowly made his way to the Hokage Office to work.
Just as he arrived at the office and before his seat was even warm, an Anbu member suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
"Reporting, Hokage-sama, last night Danzo-sama led a squad of Root members to that internet cafe..." "Oh? Danzo's efficiency is quite high."
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled slightly. He felt that his old partner understood him better and better; he had only hinted slightly, and Danzo had already taken his tools and gone to handle the matter that very night. "Has the internet cafe Contract been delivered?"
"Contract? What Contract?" Hiruzen Sarutobi had assumed Danzo had settled everything, which was why he asked. However, this Anbu member had no idea what the Third Hokage was talking about.
"Oh? It seems our little friend Ge Liang is quite stubborn. It's fine, I'll personally go to Root later and ask Danzo." "Danzo-sama is probably not at Root right now." "Hmm? What's going on?"
Hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally realized something was amiss. Given Danzo's dark personality, he spent more time at Root than at home. At this time of day, it was impossible for Danzo not to be at Root.
"Tell me in detail."
"Yes, Hokage-sama... *Muttering*... Forget it, I'll just be direct. Actually, last night, Danzo-sama and all the Root members he took with him never came out after entering the internet cafe." "What?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately stood up in shock after hearing this. "Are you sure not a single person came out?" "Yes, Hokage-sama, I'm certain." "Good, you're dismissed. You may leave now."
"Yes." The Anbu vanished in a flash, leaving only the grim-faced Hiruzen Sarutobi contemplating the matter in the entire office.
