Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi
It was just a blink of an eye.
Dan had crossed a distance of hundreds of meters out of nowhere.
This wasn't him activating "The World" and using time-stop to cross this distance, but rather, he was using the ability of his right Mangekyō Sharingan—
To teleport himself instantly to the place where his gaze was focused.
This technique was called "Ame-no-Mikoto".
At first glance, it seemed to be a very rare space-time ninjutsu.
But that's not the case.
When an Uchiha awakens the Mangekyō, the dojutsu they obtain often relates to their own abilities.
For example, Itachi was skilled in Fire Release and genjutsu, so he awakened "the strongest Fire Release" Amaterasu, and "the strongest mental attack" Tsukuyomi.
And those with the talent for space-time ninjutsu are extremely rare in the history of the shinobi world.
Dan was clearly not among them.
As for space-time ninjutsu, he was basically at a novice level.
What Dan was good at was Yang Release.
The principle of Ame-no-Mikoto was to use the power of the Mangekyō to teleport the caster to a designated location through high-speed movement.
It was not a space-time ninjutsu, but rather a material teleportation.
Because it was high-speed movement, the caster's body would experience intense friction with the air. If the body was not strong enough, it would be torn apart due to the too fast teleportation.
It was a very dangerous technique.
Only Dan, with his robust body trained through Yang Release, could withstand the tearing caused by such high speed.
This technique, in essence, belonged to the category of Yang Release, corresponding to the Yang fish rising in Dan's eyes.
Itachi's consciousness was blurred, his eyelids heavy, and his eyes slowly closed.
Just before his eyes completely closed, a tall figure suddenly appeared, his back to him, grabbing Danzo's wrist.
Upon seeing the person, Danzo was immediately terrified.
"Uncle..." Itachi murmured, then his vision went black, and he passed out completely.
"Uchiha Dan..." Danzo looked up in horror, staring intently at Dan in front of him, who was looking down at him expressionlessly, like a god high above.
Due to the high-speed teleportation of Ame-no-Mikoto.
Dan's body was smoking due to the friction with the air, and a high temperature was generated. The hand he used to grab Danzo made the latter's wrist feel a burning pain.
At this moment Danzo was filled with anger and hatred.
It was Uchiha Dan again.
Every time at a critical moment, it was Dan who intervened and ruined his plans.
Having eye contact with Dan at close range, the Taiji Yin-Yang fish in the other's eyes made Danzo feel a deep fear.
The Mangekyō Sharingan.
The most terrifying thing about these eyes was their dojutsu, which were strange and full of unknowns, often possessing a powerful "first sight kill" ability.
So Danzo decided to strike first.
Hum.
Without hesitation, he released a strong ocular power shock from his right eye, directly launching Kotoamatsukami at Dan.
At the same time, Danzo also tried to "lead Dan on", saying: "Dan, why must you oppose me? Why don't we join forces, kill Sarutobi Hiruzen, and seize power in Konoha. Then, you can continue to be the Hokage's assistant, and I will become the new Hokage. Let us make Konoha great again and dominate the entire shinobi world..."
"Are you done?" Dan interrupted Danzo's rambling, with a face that seemed to be smiling but not.
How could this be?
Danzo was shocked.
After getting Shisui's right eye, he had successfully applied Kotoamatsukami to the Third Hokage and Obito, but now when he used it on Dan, it failed.
Dan looked down at Danzo, speaking unhurriedly:
"Every technique has a weakness, Kotoamatsukami is not omnipotent, let me tell you its weakness.
This technique must use the target's existing thoughts, with Kotoamatsukami providing guidance and suggestion, to amplify those thoughts infinitely, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the target's will.
It can't implant thoughts out of nowhere into the target, otherwise it will definitely be detected, leading to failure in the end.
What you just said to me, I have no interest in it at all.
Also..." At this point, Dan paused, then continued: "The confrontation of dojutsu between Mangekyō and Mangekyō, in the end, is a contest of ocular power. Even if you grasp my mental weakness, you can't control me with Kotoamatsukami, because the gap in our ocular power is too great. Now, give me back Shisui's eye."
As soon as his words fell, Dan raised his other hand and reached towards Danzo's right eye.
Damn it.
Danzo roared in his heart, desperately wanting to resist.
But his wrist was firmly grasped by Dan, and his spirit was under the pressure of Dan's ocular power. He couldn't move at all, and could only watch as the other's fingers approached.
With a squelch.
Dan's thumb, index finger, and middle finger plunged straight into Danzo's eye socket. After feeling the warmth of the eyeball, he forcibly dug it out.
The atrocity that Danzo had committed against Shisui was now being replayed on himself.
"Hiss!" He gasped, the intense pain in his eye allowing Danzo to temporarily break free from Dan's ocular power suppression.
No, he absolutely couldn't let Uchiha Dan leave here alive with Shisui's eye, because this man was the biggest threat in the history of Konoha.
In Danzo's heart, everything he had done so far was to bear the darkness of the village, to protect the peace and tranquility of Konoha with his own sacrifice and dedication.
Now, for Konoha, he had to do one last thing. Danzo's gaze hardened, and he made up his mind.
"Uchiha Dan! For Konoha, I will not let you live!" Danzo roared in anger, his face twisted, and saliva sprayed from his mouth.
Then, he tore open his own clothes with a "rip", and a complex sealing formula appeared on his chest.
The next second.
Puff puff puff!
Danzo's entire body's blood turned into pitch-black ink, continuously spraying out and expanding in a spherical shape.
In an instant, it enveloped everything within hundreds of meters.
He saw Dan's shocked expression, and Itachi, who was lying on the ground, were all surrounded by his black blood, heading towards destruction with him.
This was the Four Symbols Seal. It was one of the most powerful sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, using the cycle of the Four Symbols to specifically seal evil demons.
Danzo was going to seal Uchiha Dan, Uchiha Itachi, along with Shisui's right eye, into his own body, and then descend into the underworld.
"I did it, hahaha... I, Shimura Danzo, have protected Konoha! Danzo looked up and laughed heartily, his face showing a sense of relief as if he had no regrets in death.
But suddenly...
His laughter came to an abrupt halt, and a look of horror once again appeared on his face.
Because Danzo was suddenly brought back to reality.
He realized with a start that he was still standing in place, unmoving, and Uchiha Dan was standing in front of him as if nothing had happened.
Everything that had just transpired was merely a figment of Danzo's imagination.
He had fallen for Dan's genjutsu.
"So, you wanted to die with me, huh?" Dan released his grip on Danzo's wrist, advising him with a smile, "Don't do it, you haven't become Hokage yet."
Hokage?
Upon hearing this, Danzo was first taken aback, then his face fell:
"Uchiha Dan, are you mocking me? Just kill me quickly."
Unexpectedly...
"When did I... say I was going to kill you?" Dan raised an eyebrow, countering with a question.
Dan's words made Danzo's pupils contract, seeing a glimmer of hope for survival.
He came to his senses and asked incredulously: "Why aren't you killing me?" Dan stared at Danzo, his Sharingan eyes flickering with a bewitching light, making the latter feel dizzy and confused.
"You must become Hokage, Danzo." He said this, seemingly full of anticipation for Danzo, his voice, like a devil's whisper, echoing in the latter's ears.
Then... Dan turned around, hoisted his unconscious nephew onto his shoulder, and left without a word.
Watching Dan's retreating figure, Danzo stood in place, muttering to himself: "Hokage, I must become Hokage..."
Suddenly... Danzo's body shook, his single eye wide open, as scene after scene flashed in his mind, showing him...
The future.
He saw: He finally overthrew the old and incompetent Third Hokage, smoothly becoming the Fifth Hokage, fulfilling his long-held dream.
After that, he not only restored Konoha to its glory during the First Hokage's era, but also waged wars in all directions, eventually uniting the five major ninja villages and becoming the ruler of the ninja world.
He, Shimura Danzo, would become the greatest Hokage in history, ruling the entire ninja world, his name living on for a thousand years!
Those scenes were so real, happening over and over again in Danzo's mind, in a never-ending cycle.
His eyes gradually became fervent, fully believing in the future he saw.
"Only I can save Konoha, only I can be Hokage, I am the savior of Konoha..."
Danzo muttered to himself, already lost in his delusion.
He was completely unaware that he had been brainwashed by Dan's genjutsu.
When an Uchiha activates the Mangekyou Sharingan, the unique dojutsu they obtain, in addition to being related to their own abilities, is also influenced by the desires in their heart at the time of awakening.
The abilities awakened through the latter method are often incredible, even unimaginably powerful to ordinary people.
After all, people's desires are diverse, full of infinite possibilities.
For example... Shisui wanted to improve the relationship between his clan and the village, so he awakened the Kotoamatsukami, which can modify others' will.
Obito was even more outrageous. Unable to face Rin's death and wanting to escape from the real world, he actually created the Kamui dimension with his dojutsu.
So, what did Dan want?
He only sought amusement.
He was arrogant and conceited, seeing the entire world as his playground, he toyed with everyone from a superior position.
When he was constantly instigating and provoking between the Uchiha and the village, and finally saw Konoha burning before his eyes, his inner joy reached its peak, and he activated the Mangekyou Sharingan with delight.
Therefore...
The dojutsu awakened in Dan's left eye is called "Amatsukitsune".
It's a genjutsu that plays tricks on people's minds.
It is a power of Yin Release, corresponding to the downward-sinking black fish in Dan's eyes.
By using this technique, Dan can implant a nearly real illusion into someone's brain, or quietly steal a piece of someone's memory.
Amatsukitsune, it doesn't directly shatter a person's spirit like Tsukuyomi, nor does it modify others' will like Kotoamatsukami. At first glance, it doesn't seem very powerful.
Because its essence lies in "trickery", playing with people until they wish they were dead.
Just now... using the ability of Amatsukitsune, Dan wove a dream in Danzo's mind, which will drive the latter to strive for the position of Hokage and "revive" Konoha by any means necessary.
And this dream will eventually come to an end.
By then, Danzo will receive the real punishment, which will be a pain and despair beyond all else.
Whoosh.
Dan, carrying Itachi, leapt between the rooftops of Konoha's buildings, quickly heading towards the Uchiha clan's territory.
"Leader!" From a distance, a figure came forward. It was Uchiha Tetsuo.
He was sent by clan leader Fugaku to support Itachi, but when he arrived, he saw Itachi being carried by Dan, his body full of bloody holes, and his legs gnawed by parasitic insects to the point of being bloody and mangled. It was a sight too horrible to bear.
"I'm late." Tetsuo's face changed immediately, filled with unease and self-blame.
"Don't worry, he won't die." Dan said lightly, glancing at Tetsuo's eyes. They were a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan with a black background and a red cross.
One minute later... The two returned to the clan together.
The Uchiha clan, which had just experienced a great battle, lost hundreds of clan members, but had no time to mourn. Instead, they were busy.
Under Fugaku's command...
The Uchiha clan was hurriedly packing important belongings, seemingly planning to leave Konoha while the Nine-Tails and the Konoha ninjas were in a major battle.
For the Uchiha clan... after the break with the village, the only way to survive seemed to be...to flee Konoha with the entire clan.
"Dan."
Fugaku, Tsunade, and Mikoto and others immediately came forward. Seeing Itachi's condition, they were all shocked.
Dan handed Itachi over to Tsunade, saying to her, "I'm asking you one last time, save this kid."
Tsunade nodded briskly, didn't say anything, and immediately started treating Itachi.
Under the watchful and worried eyes of Fugaku and others...
In no time... Tsunade successfully stabilized Itachi's condition, helped him heal his wounds, and removed the insect poison from his body.
Itachi's complexion gradually improved, his breathing became steady, avoiding the same fate as Shisui.
At this moment...
Fugaku, who had been relieved, asked Dan seriously:
"Dan, I've decided to lead the Uchiha clan out of Konoha, do you... have any objections?"
Even now... Fugaku still couldn't figure out what his young brother-in-law was thinking.
"A wise choice."Dan only said these few words, showing no opposition.
His goal of inciting the Uchiha clan to destroy Konoha had been achieved. As for what path this clan would take in the future, Dan didn't care.
Upon hearing this, Tsunade's eyes flickered, and she gave Dan a deep look: "Then, our cooperation ends here. I wish you a smooth journey and hope you find a new home."
With that... she called for Shizune, and the two of them turned and left, disappearing from the sight of the Uchiha clan.
Watching Tsunade leave... "Let's set off, brother-in-law," Dan said to Fugaku.
Soon... the Uchiha clan, with more than six hundred members, set off lightly, leaving Konoha in a grand manner, and entered the forest of the Land of Fire.
Dan took one last look at Konoha.
This village was done for.
Even if Konoha managed to survive this crisis and subdue the rampaging Nine-Tails, it would inevitably be severely damaged.
And after that, not only would it face invasions from the other four major ninja villages, but also the "landmine" that Dan had planted in Danzo, which could trigger a new internal strife at any time.
The real "good days" for Konoha were still to come.
