Uchiha, starting from the destruction of the ninja world

Chapter 18: You Have Nowhere to Hide Before the Sharingan

Danzo stood in the shadowy Root base, his face bearing his usual arrogance and indifference.

Staring at Orochimaru before him, his voice was cold and domineering, yet it carried a seductive quality.

"Orochimaru, the ninja world is about to face an unprecedented catastrophe, but as you know, this may also be an excellent opportunity for Konoha..."

Orochimaru stared silently at Danzo, without responding immediately.

He was already exceptionally sensitive to the power of the soul, and at this moment he vaguely sensed that Danzo's tone, expression, and even eyes revealed a strange feeling that made him extremely uncomfortable.

It seems that every word Danzo spoke carried some kind of inexplicable seductive power.

Seeing Orochimaru remain silent, Danzo raised his head and coldly said...

"If I can successfully become the Hokage of Konoha, I will not only officially restore your status as a ninja in Konoha, but I will also grant you access to all the forbidden techniques in the village."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru tentatively asked, "Does everything you've mentioned include forbidden techniques like the Impure World Reincarnation?"

Danzo looked at him expressionlessly: "Of course, including techniques like the Impure World Reincarnation."

Orochimaru had already secretly learned the Impure World Reincarnation technique...

Danzo's so-called complete liberalization includes human experimentation.

Hearing this answer, Orochimaru became even more alert.

Something was wrong with Danzo. This unprecedented madness and strangeness was a Danzo that I had never known before.

Orochimaru...

A natural-born expert on the soul...

Although he lacked evidence, he possessed an intuition that brought him closest to the truth...

Orochimaru, however, maintained his usual calm and composure: "In that case, Lord Danzo, what do you need me to do?"

Danzo immediately raised his hand and untied his outer robe, revealing his body, half of which had been frantically eroded by the cells of the First Hokage.

Originally, only one arm was modified by the cells, but now these terrifying Wood Release cells have spread like vines to half of his entire torso, and even faintly spread to his chest.

Upon witnessing such a shocking scene, Orochimaru felt a chill run down his spine. What shocked him even more was that Danzo's body was still able to completely suppress the First Hokage's cells and was not completely devoured.

"I need more Sharingan transplants..."

Danzo repeated the sentence in an unusually calm and gloomy tone.

As Danzo finished speaking, several Root ninjas quickly stepped forward and placed dozens of special containers containing Sharingan eyes in front of Orochimaru.

These Sharingan eyes were spoils of war obtained during the night of the Uchiha clan massacre.

Gazing at the pairs of scarlet eyes bobbing and gleaming eerily in the nutrient solution before him, Orochimaru remained silent for a few seconds before finally nodding slowly: "Since it's Lord Danzo's request... of course, it's possible."

Transplanting Sharingan was something Orochimaru was already very familiar with.

He quickly began the surgery, starting a larger-scale Sharingan transplant for Danzo.

Danzo lay quietly on the lab table, then suddenly spoke, "Orochimaru, your heart doesn't seem at peace. Is something on your mind?"

Orochimaru paused slightly, then calmly replied, "No, I just suddenly thought that if the ninja world is really about to be destroyed, we might need some more powerful ninjas to assist us, such as the former Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju."

When Orochimaru mentioned the resurrection of Tobirama Senju using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Danzo's eyes showed a clear hint of hesitation, but he quickly revealed a cold and disdainful smile.

"If Tobirama-sensei were to return to Konoha, the first thing he would probably do is strip me and Hiruzen Sarutobi of all our rights."

"Resurrecting him now will not help our situation at all, and will only make us more passive."

There are only two possible reasons to revive Tobirama Senju: one is pure manipulation, but that would be meaningless.

Secondly, one could receive his genuine help, but at the great risk of having all power stripped away.

Danzo, a strategist of his time, would naturally not allow such a situation to occur.

A moment later, Danzo suddenly sensed something, locked his gaze on Orochimaru, and his tone turned cold: "Orochimaru, are you testing me?"

Orochimaru, however, shook his head calmly: "No..."

Danzo sneered, raised his hand and removed the bandage covering his right eye, revealing a Mangekyou Sharingan.

Those were the eyes of Uchiha Shisui, radiating a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.

"Hmph, before the power of this Sharingan, all your little tricks will be exposed. Let me give you a piece of advice: don't harbor any more unnecessary thoughts."

A terrifying mental pressure instantly swept through the laboratory, making the surrounding air feel heavy.

Orochimaru forced a faint smile, suppressing his deep-seated disgust: "Rest assured, Lord Danzo, I have no other intentions. The only thing I want to know now is, just how many Sharingan eyes do you want to transplant?"

"all."

Danzang's tone was unusually resolute.

Upon hearing this unexpected answer, Orochimaru paused for a moment, then revealed an undisguised, eerie smile: "All of them... that's quite surprising."

"For the future of Konoha, I must possess absolute power... No one can stop me from becoming Hokage."

Danzo's tone turned cold and dangerous, and the air seemed to freeze instantly.

In the blink of an eye, he made his move. The pupil of his Mangekyou Sharingan, possessed by Shisui, instantly unleashed a powerful and terrifying eye force, pointing directly at Orochimaru like a sharp blade.

In a flash, Orochimaru felt a sudden jolt, a strong sense of crisis washing over him, almost as if he were relying on his instincts honed over many years.

He suddenly flipped over and retreated, barely dodging the hidden yet deadly mental attack.

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead. He knew that if he had been even a fraction of a second slower, he would probably be dead.

The moment he regained his footing, a flash of cold light pierced the void.

A sharp longsword appeared out of nowhere, like the scythe of death, piercing his throat with unerring accuracy.

A sharp pain surged through his nerves, Orochimaru's pupils contracted, and he was about to retaliate when everything around him twisted and rearranged in an instant.

The scene before me rippled outwards like waves on water, then gradually returned to calm...

The room remained dark and silent, with no trace of murderous intent in the air, as if nothing had ever happened.

He stood there stunned for a second, then realized what was happening.

"Illusion..."

He muttered to himself, his eyes dark and gloomy.

Using the genjutsu released by the Uchiha Sharingan, it was able to silently infiltrate his mental defenses, causing him to fall into an illusion without his knowledge.

This made Orochimaru's expression darken.

"What was that just now?"

"This is just a small warning. I hope you won't have any inappropriate thoughts in the future."

Danzo sneered, his voice as icy as ice: "I warned you long ago that in the face of the Sharingan, all your thoughts are exposed."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru's lips curled into a smile, his eyes concealing a hint of mockery.

You're not an Uchiha...

How dare you say such a thing to me!?

However, Danzo's oppressive aura also made Orochimaru feel a sense of pressure.
