Chapter 229 Danzo: Hiruzen!!!
Jiraiya and Orochimaru immediately set off towards Konoha Village.
By this time, it had already gotten dark.
1. Use it at the same time.
Inside Ichiraku Ramen, Shigure was gazing with satisfaction at the system panel that had appeared before her.
Throughout the day, the notifications for the emotional value gains were almost constant.
The system was just upgraded not long ago, and now the experience points are almost enough for the next upgrade!
Shi Yu was extremely satisfied with the effects of the newly acquired "Reverse Dream Machine".
"Since the reverse dream-fulfilling machine is so effective, let's make it even more useful."
Shi Yu squinted, smiled eagerly, and at the same time, her mind raced with calculations.
While the currently running dream worlds do provide a fair amount of emotional value, they still feel somewhat lacking.
While the characters that appeared each had their own highlights, none of them were the kind of characters who could awe everyone the moment they appeared.
Recently, both in dreams and in reality, several groups of people have been secretly investigating the same person.
"Since everyone is so curious about him—"
Without the slightest hesitation, Shi Yu used the third dream instance slot that had been empty.
Deep within the Konoha Village prison, in a dungeon, Shimura Danzo lay indignantly on a cold bed, cursing Hiruzen Sarutobi for all his faults.
In the dimly lit, damp, and cramped cell, resentful curses echoed incessantly.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, you shameless hypocrite! You ungrateful bastard—you took all the benefits while I took all the blame! Despicable! Shameless!"
"You're unworthy of being called Hokage!"
"How could you do this to Tobirama-sensei?!"
"No—you are unworthy of being a ninja!!"
Danzo cursed until he was hoarse, and recalling everything that had happened during the day, he felt an overwhelming sense of resentment.
First, he was attacked and killed by assassins, and then he was outmaneuvered by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Thinking of this, Danzo gritted his teeth in anger.
However, after venting his anger, his physical and mental strength were almost at their limit.
Danzo gradually stopped, breathing heavily for a few moments, feeling an indescribable exhaustion all over his body.
Overwhelmed by weariness, his eyelids grew heavy, and he could no longer hold on.
"Damn it—I'll make sure you get away with this when I get out!"
He mumbled a curse under his breath, then felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, and his heavy eyelids slowly closed.
In a moment of confusion and shame, Danzo immediately opened his eyes again.
This time, however, what came into view was no longer the pitch-black darkness of the dungeon, but a bright and sunny open space with lush green grass.
Under the bright sunlight, the air was filled with the scent of grass and earth, and the clear chirping of birds could be heard in the distance.
It was completely different from the cold and damp dungeon we had just left.
Ok?
This is·
Danzo was stunned for a moment, then his eyes sharpened, and he thought to himself.
Here they come, yes, they've come in again!
Danzo looked around and realized that he was actually in Konoha Village's training ground.
And yet, I found myself here without even realizing it.
However, Danzo soon stopped dwelling on the question of "why he came to the training ground".
He narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a smug smile: "Let's calculate the time."
Everything he meticulously planned in the previous dream should have now come to fruition.
The holder of the Rinnegan is probably quietly staying in the Root organization's base right now, letting him do whatever he wants!
Thinking of this, Danzo's originally gloomy mood immediately improved a lot.
With those eyes.
Just wait and see, Hiruzen's better days are yet to come.
He snorted, scrambled to his feet, and dusted himself off.
However, Danzo realized something was wrong after only a moment.
He looked around and felt that everything in front of him seemed to have become taller, while his own field of vision seemed to have become shorter.
Danzo's heart sank, and he quickly raised his hands and spread them out in front of him.
Those two hands were small and smooth, clearly not his old hands!
He looked down at himself and realized that he was wearing a ninja training uniform from his childhood. He was small and light, and looked just like a teenager!
Time—has changed again!
Danzo's face darkened, and he was secretly furious.
Did all his elaborate schemes and plans in his dream last time turn out to be nothing but a mirage?
How could Danzo accept this!
Just as Danzo was filled with resentment, a vibrant young voice suddenly came from not far behind him: "Danzo! You're here early today!"
Upon hearing this, Danzo was suddenly pleased and abruptly turned around.
What came into view was a face that made him grit his teeth in hatred.
Hiruzen!!!
However, the Hiruzen Sarutobi who appeared in front of Danzo at this time was only a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy.
With a youthful smile on his face, he walked briskly toward Danzo.
The young Hiruzen Sarutobi had a childish air about him, and his clean eyes revealed a naive and innocent look, lacking the cunning and shrewdness he would later possess.
Danzo gazed at his smiling face from afar, and a surge of uncontrollable anger rose within him.
The image of Hiruzen Sarutobi's arrogant, hypocritical, and ruthless ugly face from earlier that day involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
That's the face!
This is the person!
In broad daylight, Hiruzen Sarutobi threw him into the dungeon, took everything from him, and humiliated him!
The old and new grudges instantly transformed into a burning rage in Danzo's chest, rushing straight to the top of his head.
He felt that at this moment, he had to empty his mind and follow his body's instincts, otherwise his thoughts would never be clear.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Shimura Danzo have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
"Hiruzen!!!!"
Danzo roared, and at the same time, his figure suddenly moved, and he pounced on Hiruzen Sarutobi!
Without any warning, and without giving young Hiruzen Sarutobi any time to react, he launched a fierce physical attack!
Caught off guard, Hiruzen Sarutobi only had time to instinctively raise his arm to block before a muffled thud struck him, sending him sprawling to his knees and nearly falling to the ground.
Young Hiruzen Sarutobi regained his footing, startled: "Hey! Danzo, what are you doing?!"
His face was filled with disbelief, clearly not understanding why his close friend would suddenly turn on him so ruthlessly.
At this moment, Danzo was completely deaf to any further thought.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he remained silent as he pressed closer once more.
boom! boom! boom!
A series of dull thuds of flesh colliding rang out. Danzo did not use any ninjutsu at all, but instead launched a storm of taijutsu attacks with his fists, feet, elbows, and knees!
Every strike he makes goes straight for the vital points. His movements are ruthless and vicious, and his attack trajectories are tricky and vicious. His speed and power far exceed the normal level for his age group!
Hiruzen Sarutobi was immediately forced into a flurry of activity, struggling to defend himself.
He tried several times to form hand seals and use ninjutsu to create distance, but Danzo's hand chops or whip kicks struck his hands precisely before he could even finish the seals!
Hiruzen Sarutobi was in pain and his hand seals were forced to stop. His chakra surged, and he could barely breathe. His face turned bright red.
Danzo sneered inwardly as he launched a fierce attack, leaving Hiruzen Sarutobi struggling to keep up.
He sneered in a cold voice, "Too slow! Too slow! Too slow!"
"Hiruzen! Your hand seals are too slow!"
"It seems you haven't taken your teacher's words to heart!"
The young Hiruzen Sarutobi was completely powerless to fight back, barely able to parry, and couldn't even find a chance to counterattack.
Danzo is bullying a child right now!
He knew Hiruzen Sarutobi too well.
The two have been rivals since childhood, and he knows every single habitual movement of Hiruzen Sarutobi perfectly!
Now, the old Danzo's rich combat experience and ruthless cunning are all poured into this young body.
Dealing with this real "child" in front of me is like a game of cat and mouse!
How could the young Hiruzen Sarutobi possibly withstand such a blow?
In the blink of an eye, he had been cornered by Danzo and was now powerless to fight back!
"flaw!"
Danzo's eyes flashed, and he seized an opening, delivering a swift low sweep kick to Hiruzen Sarutobi's right foot. In the instant Hiruzen lost his balance, Danzo followed up with a heavy side kick, slamming it into Hiruzen's chest!
boom! !
With a muffled thud, Hiruzen Sarutobi was kicked flying, rolling several times on the ground before finally coming to a stop.
He let out a low groan, then opened his mouth and launched into a series of heart-wrenching, violent coughs, as if his internal organs were about to be shaken apart.
The young Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was filled with pain, shock, and confusion, clearly disgusted by Danzo's kick.
Danzo stood high above, coldly looking down at his wretched nemesis, the wolf and the fox.
All the humiliation and anger that Danzo had accumulated in the dungeon during the day seemed to be released with that kick, making Danzo feel extremely happy.
This twisted and intense pleasure made every cell in his body tremble with excitement.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Shimura Danzo have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
Danzo slowly walked towards Sarutobi, his face full of disdain.
His voice was icy as he sneered, "Hiruzen Sarutobi, you're too slow! How can you inherit the Will of Fire if you're this slow?"
Danzo walked step by step in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi, blocking the sunlight from his head.
The blinding sunlight was blocked by Danzo's figure, and Hiruzen Sarutobi was suddenly plunged into a large shadow.
The young Hiruzen Sarutobi struggled to sit up, looking up blankly at his former friend who stood before him, his presence obscuring the sky.
Backlit, Danzo's expression was hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to see clearly.
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were filled with confusion, and a hint of fear was also faintly visible.
He couldn't understand why Danzo was so violent today.
He couldn't understand why Danzo, whose strength was usually about the same as his own, was showing such a suffocating sense of oppression today.
This was completely beyond his comprehension.
in the audience.
At this moment, they appeared in the audience seats of the Dream Theater.
It was Hiruzen Sarutobi and his three disciples—Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru.
The scenes displayed on the giant screen elicited various reactions from everyone present.
When he saw Danzo crush the young Hiruzen Sarutobi to the ground with overwhelming force, the elderly Hiruzen Sarutobi could no longer suppress his anger!
He slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair and stood up abruptly. "That Danzo! This is outrageous!" Hiruzen Sarutobi trembled with rage as he shouted.
[Ding! An emotional fluctuation from Hiruzen Sarutobi has been detected! Emotional value +800!]
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turned ashen; he felt utterly humiliated.
To be so humiliated by Danzo in front of his disciples—where could he put his old face?
It was practically the same as a public execution!
They bully children and still have the nerve to make sarcastic remarks!
Damn Danzo!
So shameless!
However, compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi's furious outburst, Orochimaru on the other side was watching with great interest.
He couldn't help but chuckle, licking his lips meaningfully, his snake-like eyes flashing with excitement.
"Heh—I actually think Danzo did a good job."
Orochimaru's voice was filled with an indescribable pleasure.
"The movements were clean and crisp, exploiting the opponent's weaknesses to the fullest extent, making it very instructive."
"Right, Sarutobi-sensei?"
"Orochimaru!! You one!"
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and for a moment he was too angry to speak.
Orochimaru, however, remained relaxed, sitting back in his chair with his arms crossed, completely unmoved by Hiruzen Sarutobi's fiery gaze.
"Oh no!"
Upon seeing this, Jiraiya felt a sudden sinking feeling in his heart, and cold sweat almost broke out on his back.
[Ding! Jiraiya's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
Jiraiya quickly stepped forward, blocking the group, and chuckled dryly to smooth things over: "Ha, ha, everyone, don't get excited! No matter what, it's just a dream, no need to take it seriously!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi snorted and sat back down, but his brows remained furrowed and his eyes were fixed on the screen, his anger barely contained.
Seeing that the two had calmed down a bit, Jiraiya secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to give Orochimaru a wink.
Orochimaru shrugged and said no more.
Jiraiya raised his hand to wipe his forehead. He had finally gotten a chance to bring Orochimaru back to Konoha, and he couldn't let things go wrong.
on the screen.
The young Hiruzen Sarutobi clutched his chest, coughing violently as he struggled to his feet.
Despite the intense pain, his attention remained focused on his companion across from him.
Danzo stood there with a gloomy face, his aura of malevolence even stronger than before.
Young Hiruzen Sarutobi tried to remain calm, forcing a smile: "Danzo, what's wrong with you today? Did something happen to you? Cough, cough—"
Hearing the concern in Sarutobi's words, Danzo was not pleased at all; instead, he became so angry that his face turned pale and then red.
"???"
Danzo was filled with questions, which were then replaced by a humiliated anger.
I never expected Hiruzen Sarutobi to be so pretentious at such a young age. He was beaten up like this, yet he still dared to use such a condescending tone to pity me?!
"You two-faced bastard!"
Danzo, enraged, laughed, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. Without another word, he raised his fists again and stepped forward, ready to take the opportunity to teach this guy a lesson.
Just then, a dignified and deep voice suddenly came from behind Danzo: "Enough! Danzo! If you're in trouble, you can talk to us. How can you take it out on your comrades! Do you want to kill Hiruzen?!"
The sound came suddenly, causing Danzo to pause slightly.
He was startled.
Who... is this?!
Danzo looked back.
What came into view was an adult face that was extremely similar to that evil Uchiha brat, but with a more cold and composed demeanor.
He had short, black hair, wore a simple black robe, and had a long sword hanging at his waist.
What is most striking are his sharp eyes, which, though not yet fully revealed, seem to see through everything.
The person standing there exuded the aura of a battle-hardened veteran.
Danzo's pupils constricted as he felt a sudden jolt in his heart.
Remnants of the Uchiha clan?!
Why are you here?
No...—that's not right!
Their age and demeanor are completely mismatched!
Is it just that they look alike?
But who exactly is this person?
Why do I have absolutely no recollection of him?
What puzzled Danzo the most was the way this stranger spoke to him and Hiruzen, as if he were a teacher instructing his disciple.
Just then, Hiruzen Sarutobi knelt down and approached the newcomer, bowing respectfully: "Izuna-sensei, I'm sorry, it's my own fault for being weak, it's not Danzo's fault."
"Izuna—Teacher?!"
The name and title exploded in Danzo's mind like a thunderclap.
Uchiha Izuna?!
That Uchiha Izuna who should have died at Tobirama's hands long ago?!
How could he be standing here alive?
And he even became Hiruzen Sarutobi's teacher?!
Where is Tobirama-sensei?!
This dream—
What's going on in this strange world?!
The overwhelming information left Danzo frozen in place, his understanding completely overturned at that moment.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Shimura Danzo have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
No·.·
No!
Danzo suddenly realized something and quickly looked towards the Hokage Building behind him!
Then an even more terrifying scene came into view.
Danzo's gaze swept over the rooftop and into the distance, where he saw the towering Hokage Rock standing majestically, reaching into the clouds.
In an instant, Danzo was shaken to his core, and his breath caught in his throat.
On the Hokage Rock, there was no trace of the statue of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju!
Instead, a cold and dignified face appeared!
The stone statue had features as if carved by a knife and axe, and its eyes seemed to see through everything. Its gaze overlooking the village revealed a majestic and unyielding spirit.
Even from a distance, its imposing aura, though not angry, still assaults the senses and sends shivers down one's spine.
"No—impossible!"
At that moment, every cell in Danzo's body trembled in disbelief.
Danzo naturally recognized that sharp and shrewd face.
That is.
Another legend among the two ninja heroes – Uchiha Madara!
