"Nani?"
Danzo's eyes widened; his full-powered Wind Ninjutsu couldn't even scratch the enemy.
Could it be that he really had to use his trump card?
"What kind of mud? Mashed potatoes?"
"I think we could turn him into blood paste."
Zhao Zheng and the blacklight clones laughed at each other, putting on their own show, which made Danzo's face grow even darker.
The famous the darkness of konoha, a contemporary of Hiruzen Sarutobi, was being mocked by an unknown nobody like this. It was truly a tiger fallen into the plains, bullied by dogs!
"Don't underestimate this old man, you bastard! This old man is the darkness of konoha! Danzo Shimura!"
"I inherited the will of the Second Hokage, Tobirama-sensei, and strive for the growth of Konoha, and for the extermination of the inherently evil Uchiha."
Danzo Shimura's blood-soaked right hand directly tore off the bandage wrapped around his right eye on his head.
His right eye opened, revealing a blood-black eye with four sharp blades, a hollow center, and a black dot representing the pupil.
That was a Mangekyo Sharingan, identical to Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan that Zhao Zheng obtained from Uchiha Itachi.
This was Uchiha Shisui's other Mangekyo Sharingan, his right eye.
"Kotoamatsukami. Radiance!"
"Let your mind be destroyed by me!"
Danzo's right eye erupted with golden light, forming a Genjutsu space that forcibly tore at Zhao Zheng's mind, attempting to pull him in and inflict devastating mental damage.
As is well known, every Uchiha who awakens the Mangekyo Sharingan possesses two different ocular Ninjutsu.
Uchiha Shisui was no exception; the left eye he gave to Uchiha Itachi possessed the ocular Ninjutsu Kotoamatsukami, which could forcibly alter a person's will.
The right eye, which Danzo seized, contained Kotoamatsukami. Radiance, which, like Tsukuyomi, could create a Genjutsu space. Within this Genjutsu space, he controlled everything, dragging the enemy's mind in for destructive torment.
"Indeed, this is Uchiha Shisui's other ocular Ninjutsu."
Zhao Zheng was already prepared, and a Mangekyo Sharingan appeared on his armored mask.
His right eye, not yet upgraded to an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, still bore Uchiha Itachi's triangular curved shuriken pattern.
His left eye, having fused two Mangekyo Sharingan, an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan with a mixed pattern of curved triangular shuriken and four sharp blades, immediately unleashed the ocular Ninjutsu Tsukuyomi.
A Genjutsu space was created, clashing with Danzo Shimura's Genjutsu space, neutralizing each other and mutually being destroyed.
A typical Genjutsu must be countered with Genjutsu!
Uchiha Shisui's ocular Ninjutsu, in the original story, only showed Kotoamatsukami. However, in official games, with the original author's input, it was stated that Uchiha Shisui's other ocular Ninjutsu was Kotoamatsukami. Radiance!
And this also filled a plot hole in the original Naruto story, explaining why, if Danzo's eye truly possessed Kotoamatsukami, he didn't alter the will of the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and easily become Hokage himself.
"What?!"
Danzo's eyes widened again, his face filled with disbelief. His proud trump card was completely ineffective against the enemy.
Especially when he saw the Mangekyo Sharingan pattern on the enemy's armored mask.
One of the composite patterns, a hybrid design, was similar to the Mangekyo Sharingan in his own right eye.
If that composite pattern were broken down, the remaining pattern would be identical to his right eye's pattern.
"Besides Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan pattern, there's also Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan pattern. What did you do to Uchiha Itachi? Did he fail? How do you possess his Sharingan?"
"And how did you fuse two Mangekyo Sharingan together? How did you do it? Isn't it only possible for siblings or parent-child relationships to fuse them?"
Danzo Shimura was filled with questions, one after another, and as his questions grew, so did the greed in his eyes.
He absolutely had to kill this opponent and uncover all his secrets. Then, Danzo Shimura, let alone becoming Hokage, might even be comparable to the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara!
Of course, the prerequisite was that Danzo Shimura had to be able to defeat this powerful enemy!
"You constantly disparage the Uchiha and want to eliminate them, but in the end, it's nothing more than greed for the Uchiha's power, to claim it for yourself."
"All your talk about inheriting the will of the Second Hokage are just excuses to hide your dirty motives. Someone like you is truly laughable."
"I've never seen anyone so shameless!"
Zhao Zheng didn't answer Danzo's questions; instead, he expressed his contempt for Danzo.
Danzo Shimura was precisely that kind of scumbag: he looked down on the Uchiha, yet couldn't do without the Uchiha's power. He couldn't even do without the Senju's power, wanting to control both Uchiha and Senju power to make himself strong.
All his reasons, such as "for Konoha" or "for the villagers," were just excuses to cover his inner greed.
A young Danzo Shimura might indeed have been capable of such deeds, but not the elderly Danzo!
The elderly Danzo, like Hiruzen Sarutobi, had been completely corrupted by power, no longer possessing the ambition of his youth.
"Bastard! How I conduct myself is none of your business, you brat. You are not worthy of criticizing this old man."
"You sought this old man because you want to obtain Shisui's other eye, to implant it in your right eye and upgrade it to an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, didn't you?"
"This old man will not grant your wish!"
With his facade torn away, his naked, dirty soul completely exposed, Danzo Shimura couldn't even look himself in the eye.
His old face was grim and furious. He immediately began forming hand signs, intending to use the Uchiha forbidden Ninjutsu Izanagi, treating his right Mangekyo Sharingan as a revival coin. That way, he could not only gain some advantage but also completely destroy the eye, preventing it from falling into enemy hands.
"Thinking of using Izanagi? Did you ask me first?!"
Suddenly, Danzo's right hand, which was about to form a hand sign, trembled and stopped. His right hand was rapidly covered by blood-black armor, extending up to his shoulder.
Blood-black tentacles shot out from the blood-black armor, combining to form Zhao Zheng's head.
With the help of the tentacles, Zhao Zheng's head moved close to Danzo Shimura's face, smiling sinisterly.
This was an evolved version of the Blacklight Shadow Clone. As long as Zhao Zheng's attack broke through the enemy's defense and injected the blacklight virus into their body, the blacklight virus could rapidly proliferate within the enemy, seizing their power, taking over their body, and quickly assimilating them into Zhao Zheng's Blacklight Shadow Clone.
Zhao Zheng was the prime host, so even the Blacklight Shadow Clone differentiated from the enemy could not escape the prime host's control.
"Nani? A parasitic Ninjutsu?!"
Danzo was shocked, turning his head to look at the evil, unfamiliar head pressed against his face.
He didn't recognize this unfamiliar head, yet it had indeed emerged from within his body, vying for control and rendering his current body immobile.
"The main body just couldn't stand you and wanted to torment you a bit more, to play with you."
"Since you want to flip the table and destroy the Mangekyo Sharingan, I have no choice but to act."
The Blacklight Shadow Clone, which had transformed Danzo's arm, smirked evilly. Its large mouth stretched open, like a slit-mouthed woman, and bit towards Danzo's head, biting it off and devouring it in one gulp.
As Danzo Shimura died, the rest of his body was quickly taken over by the Blacklight Shadow Clone, transforming into Zhao Zheng in human form.
"Main body, the Mangekyo Sharingan has arrived."
This Blacklight Shadow Clone transformed into blood-black tentacles and merged with Zhao Zheng's main body.
In an instant, the pattern on Zhao Zheng's right eye on his mask increased, displaying Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan pattern. The two patterns overlaid, advancing to an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, just like the pattern in his left eye!
