Part Time Employee in Konoha (Completed)

Chapter 112: Illusory World of Danzo



Limited Tsukuyomi.

In the evening, the sun over the Konoha was somewhat scarlet.

A young boy holding a blood-red eyeball appeared within the Konoha, looking somewhat bewildered at the sun in the sky, then bewilderedly at the Hokage Rock, which bore only one face, and at the village which seemed somewhat sparsely populated.

"Isn't this... the time when Konoha was founded?"

The boy felt as if he had returned to his past, as if his life as an assistant to the Hokage and leader of the Root was like a dream!

"Is this an illusion?"

The boy couldn't help but hesitate.

Because everything in front of him seemed incredibly real, as if this was a real world, as if his experiences were the ones that were like a dream.

If it weren't for the bloody eyeball in his hand reminding the boy, he might really think this was the real world.

"This is an illusion."

The boy firmed his will, looking at the eyeball in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "This is the eye of Uchiha Shisui, possessing the Kotoamatsukami, a dōjutsu capable of altering wills. I must have been caught in the illusion of that kid Uchiha Obito..."

The most obvious indicator was the Hokage Rock, engraved with a gigantic face, which was the likeness of Uchiha Madara!

What a joke!

How could the First Hokage possibly be Uchiha Madara!

Indeed, it was a malevolent illusion created by the Uchiha, even fantasizing about making an Uchiha the Hokage in the illusion!

"Danzo!"

Just then, another boy approached him, shouting: "Hurry up, the First Hokage wants to meet with us!"

"This is... the young Hiruzen..."

Danzo quickly hid the bloody eyeball.

No matter when, even within an illusion, Shimura Danzo did not want Sarutobi Hiruzen to notice his slight movement.

However...

In the next moment.

Danzo suddenly came to his senses.

This is the world of illusion, why should I care so much?

Danzo, looking at the young Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him, suddenly had a thought, maybe the purpose of this illusion was to kill the person he hated the most?

Courage born from malice!

Danzo instantly formed hand seals, he had already mastered many jutsus, and the chakra inside his body seemed not to have decreased even though his body had returned to its younger form!

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

Killing the young Sarutobi Hiruzen with a wind release might break the illusion!

"Danzo!”

The young Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his companion with a face full of horror!

The next moment!

A figure appeared in front of the young Sarutobi Hiruzen, raising his hand to form a wooden wall, blocking the vacuum wave of the young Danzo!

The person was dressed in red armor.

It was the legendary God of Ninjas, Senju Hashirama.

"Lord Hashirama…"

Young Danzo recalled the memories of this era, recognizing Senju Hashirama at a glance, and remembered that Hashirama was not the First Hokage.

"What an evil kid!"

Senju Hashirama looked at young Danzo with a face full of anger, coldly scolding: "Madara actually thought you were a genius, a genius who might succeed as the Hokage in the future, I didn't expect you to be crazily wanting to kill your companion!"

"I...I'm not..."

Young Danzo quickly wanted to argue.

For Shimura Danzo, the reputation of the God of Ninjas had always been a part of their childhood. All children grew up listening to the legends of Senju Hashirama!

However, Senju Hashirama did not listen to his argument, luckily a man dressed in red armor laughingly stopped him: "Hashirama, it's just kids fighting, just be more careful next time, Danzo is a genius, it's normal for him not to know his own strength…"

"Madara!"

Senju Hashirama seemed still somewhat dissatisfied.

"Uchiha Madara!"

Young Danzo's face suddenly changed upon seeing the person.

For Shimura Danzo, Uchiha Madara was an extremely fearsome presence, even after many years had passed and he had aged, he had to admit the terror of Madara!

Especially in this illusion, Uchiha Madara was the First Hokage!

Young Danzo quickly understood the situation of this illusory world, he had returned to a past era, only he was a genius ninja, always under the watchful eye of the First Hokage Uchiha Madara, believed to be the child who could continue the future Hokage position of Konoha!

This...

How can...

How can this be an illusory world!

This illusory world was something Shimura Danzo both loved and hated!

What Shimura Danzo hated was that this illusory world was created by the evil Uchiha; what Shimura Danzo loved was that his starting point was incredibly lucky!

If Uchiha Madara, the founder, has a favorable opinion of him, then Sarutobi Hiruzen, this guy, is competing with him for the position of Hokage!

However...

In this illusionary world, Senju Hashirama seems to prefer to contradict Uchiha Madara and appears to extremely dislike Shimura Danzo, whom Madara favors.

After seeing a group of adults leave, the young Hiruzen, in this world of illusion, suddenly looked at Shimura Danzo and revealed a warm smile: "Danzo, I thought I would have to frame you again. I didn't expect you to lose your patience and attack me proactively. If you hurt me again next time, you will never have the chance to compete with me for the position of Hokage again…"

Young Danzo clenched his teeth.

What kind of trick is this sinister Hiruzen playing!

The position of Hokage, the position of Hokage, again the position of Hokage!

Young Danzo recalled his dream. Could it be that only by achieving the position of Hokage, he could unravel this illusion?

Hmph!

Let's try then!

It's just a struggle against Sarutobi Hiruzen!

Having competed with Sarutobi Hiruzen all his life, could he really lose this time? In this illusionary world, the First Hokage of Konoha, Uchiha Madara, did favor him!

Unfortunately...

Young Danzo did not get to enjoy this advantage.

It wasn't long before Senju Hashirama deemed Madara's ruling methods too cruel and dark, choosing to defect and leave Konoha. The Senju clan did not want to live a life of displacement anymore but did not follow Hashirama in leaving.

In the end, Senju Hashirama and the First Hokage Uchiha Madara fought a great battle in the Valley of the End, where Madara used the power of the Nine-Tails and the forbidden jutsu Izanagi to defeat Hashirama.

Senju Hashirama died on the spot.

The First Hokage Uchiha Madara returned to the village and then died of illness.

"History..."

Young Danzo's wild card disappeared without a trace, deeply regretting not finding a way to change history: "Even in this world of illusion, these two people would still fight!"

As long as Senju Hashirama did not defect, as long as Uchiha Madara was still alive, this founder who favored him could become his greatest supporter in the future!

Unfortunately.

It was already too late.

The future life quickly became somewhat tragic.

Young Sarutobi Hiruzen, seemingly upright and honorable, was actually an opponent who liked to play dirty tricks, even colluding with Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu to gang up on Danzo...

This is really childish…

Danzo, hidden in the real world in the position of assisting the Hokage, unknowingly manipulated numerous plots, yet could be easily framed by this kid, effortlessly resolving these troubles.

Time passed quickly.

The Second Hokage was soon selected.

A person named Uchiha Izuna became the Second Hokage and ordered the Senju clan to become the Konoha Police Force, burdening the Senju clan with infamy.

What an absurd world this is!

Shimura Danzo always felt that something was wrong with this world; his brain was in complete disarray, habitually thinking that the Konoha Police Force belonged to the Uchiha clan...

Of course.

Good things happened as well.

Shimura Danzo became a personal guard for Uchiha Izuna, along with Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu, becoming Uchiha Izuna's students.

Even...

Shimura Danzo sought the opportunity to kill his friend, Uchiha Kagami, falsely claiming that Uchiha Kagami entrusted his eyes and future to him, thereby seizing the chance to transplant the Sharingan of Uchiha Shisui brought from the real world, also refreshing the Uchiha clan's favorability.

There was no choice.

This world was controlled by the Uchiha clan.

Misfortune soon arrived.

With the deaths of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, the First Great Ninja War officially broke out, with Uchiha Izuna leading the guard to negotiate with the Cloud Village.

This time, Shimura Danzo keenly grasped history.

In the real world's history, Konoha and the Cloud Village indeed negotiated during the First Great Ninja War, which eventually led to the deaths of the Second Hokage and Second Raikage in an ambush by the rebellious Gold and Silver Brothers, of course, giving birth to the new Third Hokage...

Shimura Danzo, recalling the events of history, suddenly took a deep breath, knowing when Konoha's Third Hokage emerged and what he had missed before; this time, he would not miss it again!

Shimura Danzo did not remind Uchiha Izuna.

Just as Shimura Danzo had anticipated, the negotiation was a trap, and the Gold and Silver Brothers of the Cloud Village ambushed them, forcing Uchiha Izuna to lead the guard to flee. However, during the escape, they encountered pursuit, and someone had to stay behind!

This meeting to discuss who would stay behind...

Was the selection for Konoha's Third Hokage!

Shimura Danzo didn't wait for Uchiha Izuna to remind him, he volunteered to stay behind, but he didn't wait for Uchiha Izuna to encourage him and announce his appointment as the Third Hokage!

An even more unfortunate event occurred.

Uchiha Izuna is not Senju Tobirama.

Surprisingly, Uchiha Izuna highly regarded Shimura Danzo's attitude: "Well, Danzo has always been a genius in the village, indeed the most suitable person to cover our retreat. A ninja needs to sacrifice themselves, and this is also what you, Danzo, have always wanted to implement..."

Shimura Danzo remained silent, not saying a word.

Are all Uchiha's brains sick?

At this time, shouldn't you, this guy, let me become the Third Hokage? Why did you actually let me cover the retreat!

Shimura Danzo could only helplessly choose to cover the retreat.

Because Shimura Danzo had transplanted the Kotoamatsukami Sharingan, he easily controlled the brothers, escaped the pursuit, and got out of the predicament.

By the time Shimura Danzo finally left the danger and returned to Konoha, the Third Hokage had already been elected, and he was still one step too late...

Shimura Danzo was grinding his teeth in hatred.

Especially since Sarutobi Hiruzen, who became the Third Hokage, still smiled sinisterly, as if bestowing a boon, he gave Shimura Danzo a position as the Hokage's assistant, and also gave him the power to establish the Root Division to counter the Senju clan, always pushing responsibilities onto Danzo.

That damn monkey!

Why always let me take the blame! Of course.

Shimura Danzo was not without gains.

As an old man who had lived many years, Shimura Danzo knew the history of the real world would affect the direction of the illusionary world, and he began to slowly gather many Konoha geniuses into the Root Division...

The Sannin of Konoha...

Konoha's White Fang, Hatake Sakumo...

Namikaze Minato, the Yellow Flash, etc...

This illusionary world's Sarutobi Hiruzen also had a talent for teaching children, always teaching the children of the Uchiha clan, and he appointed his disciple, Uchiha Fugaku, as the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, which infuriated Shimura Danzo...

Again, the Uchiha!

Why always the Uchiha!

These Uchiha, who can't become Hokage in the real world, just dream in the illusionary world, dreaming that their entire clan becomes Hokage, right?

The first thing Uchiha Fugaku did after taking office in this illusionary world was to try to push his genius son into the Root Division: "Lord Danzo, I plan to have Itachi join the Root Division to study under you, to eventually make Itachi the future leader of the Root Division..."

Shimura Danzo's spirit was almost split.

This topic seems to have been mentioned in the real world.

Always, to prevent himself from getting lost in this illusionary world, Shimura Danzo would review the past of the real world every night, lest he finds himself too detached from the real world after dispelling the illusion someday.

Shimura Danzo had only one thought in mind, which he expressed on the spot: "I absolutely do not agree with Uchiha Itachi becoming the leader of the Root! I would rather hand over the Root to the kid named Akihara Kagura!"

"Are you thinking of staging a coup, Lord Danzo?"

Uchiha Fugaku asked, frowning.

"Isn't it your Uchiha clan who wants to defect?"

Shimura Danzo instinctively wanted to retort to Uchiha Fugaku but then remembered that he was actually the Hokage, and he was merely an advisor to the Hokage.

Shimura Danzo could only suppress his anger.

He could only think of revenge after leaving this illusionary world.

Uchiha Fugaku seemed not to be finished, surprisingly asking, "I have heard of the name Akihara Kagura. Isn't that child from the Konoha orphanage? I just received a report about this child's disappearance. Could it be that the Root has abducted him?"

Wait?

So, Akihara Kagura is indeed a child from the orphanage!

Did that little guy disappear in this era?

In theory, that kid should be in some laboratory, and if I could manage to have him undergo Hashirama Cell transplantation experiments soon, I could control him to do many things...

Wait...

There are no Hashirama Cells in this world...

Because the First Hokage is not Senju Hashirama at all!

Fortunately.

The history in reality does not deviate too much from the illusion, and important events seem always inevitable. Uchiha Fugaku could not withstand the torrent of history.

A mysterious person skilled in Wood Release unleashed the Nine-Tails, causing the Nine-Tails disturbance and even killed the Fourth Hokage, Uchiha Fugaku.

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, took office again.

Due to Uchiha Itachi's young age, Sarutobi Hiruzen reappointed a person named Uchiha Shisui as the leader of the Root, continuing to suppress the Senju clan internally and making compromises with other ninja villages externally, hardly any different from the policies in the real world.

Naturally.

The Senju clan chose to stage a coup.

Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered Shimura Danzo to deal with the Senju clan's coup, because others did not like the Senju clan, but only Shimura Danzo, due to the relationship in the real world, has always maintained a good relationship with the Senju clan.

Even…

In this illusionary world, Sarutobi Hiruzen already knew about Shimura Danzo's eye technique abilities, realizing that the power he had obtained from the Mangekyo Sharingan was the Kotoamatsukami.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen mentioned Kotoamatsukami, he cheerfully said, "Why don't you go and alter Tsunade's will, to ensure that the leader of the Senju clan remains calm…"

Suddenly, a sense of fear arose in Shimura Danzo's heart.

Because history in the real world had only progressed to this point, he had no idea how to navigate the future of this illusionary world or when he would be able to break free from this illusion…

Coincidentally.

Just as Shimura Danzo was heading to the Senju clan.

A figure suddenly stopped Shimura, asking Shimura Danzo, "Senior Danzo, if Konoha continues to view the Senju clan in the same way, and people like me remain hostile towards the Senju clan, would you use Kotoamatsukami on me as well?"

Shimura Danzo felt as if his body had fallen into an ice cave.

Because the person who had asked him was none other than Uchiha Shisui!

Shimura Danzo was terrified, even guessing what was about to happen!

Sure enough!

In this illusionary world, Uchiha Shisui attacked Danzo, and the moment Shimura Danzo subdued him, Shisui boldly activated Izanagi, rewriting the situation to his advantage!

Uchiha Shisui in this illusionary world suddenly punched Shimura Danzo in the stomach, causing the elderly man immense pain, barely able to speak, then landed two or three more punches on his face, and swiftly plucked out Shimura Danzo's eyes!

"Although my eyes are not bad either…"

Uchiha Shisui in this illusionary world smiled as he looked at the blood orb in his hand, gazing at the empty eye socket of Shimura Danzo, "I'll take your Mangekyo Sharingan for now!"

"No!"

Shimura Danzo looked at him in horror with his remaining eye!

Without that Mangekyo Sharingan, how could he continue to survive in this illusionary world, how could he break free from this illusionary world!

Most importantly…

What would he do when he returned to the real world!

Just as Shimura Danzo was panicking, covering his empty eye socket, ignoring the blood dripping down, and attempting to rush over to retrieve the Kotoamatsukami Mangekyo Sharingan…

A man wearing a mask quietly appeared in front of Shimura Danzo.

This masked man was the one who had sent Shimura Danzo into this Limited Tsukuyomi world, watching Shimura Danzo's face filled with fear.

"Danzo, my illusion isn't bad, right?"

"Uchiha Obito…"

Shimura Danzo, covering his bloody eye socket, clenched his teeth in hatred.

"So…"

The masked man, with a flash of crimson in his eyes from the Sharingan, a spatial vortex emerged, pulling Shimura Danzo out of the Limited Tsukuyomi world.

"Kotoamatsukami, successfully destroyed.”
