Part Time Employee in Konoha (Completed)

Extra Chapter 18: Kotoamatsukami will make you submit…



Shimura Danzō, that old bastard...

Why show up now? Trying to sow discord between me and Uchiha Itachi? Do you think such petty tricks will work on me?

Old fool...

Do you want to control me?

Uchiha Sasuke raised an eyebrow and glanced at Shimura Danzō. He immediately saw through Danzō’s intentions, realizing he wanted to use his hatred for Uchiha Itachi to manipulate him.

Such petty tricks...

Daring to show off in front of the future leader of the Root?

“Of course I want revenge on Itachi!”

A cold smile appeared on Uchiha Sasuke’s lips, mocking Shimura Danzō. His hand instinctively reached for the ninja sword on his back: “Hey, old man, if you're here to provoke me, then congratulations, you've succeeded...”

“I’m not here to provoke you…”

Shimura Danzō didn't mind Uchiha Sasuke’s rudeness. He slowly said, “I’m here to help you…”

“How can you help me?”

Uchiha Sasuke’s cold smile deepened as he looked Shimura Danzō up and down: “I saw you a few days ago. You look like one of the Hokage's trusted subordinates. Can you persuade the Hokage to order the village’s ninjas to help me hunt down Itachi?”

“I... cannot.”

Shimura Danzō’s eyes suddenly widened.

The old man’s hand tightened on his cane!

Such a thing...

I really can’t do it!

Because Sarutobi Hiruzen would never let anyone hunt down Uchiha Itachi!

And...

This kid is underestimating me!

I am not a subordinate of Monkey. I once competed with him for the position of Hokage and will become the new Hokage in the future!

“Can't even do that?”

“Then it seems you are useless...”

Uchiha Sasuke waved dismissively, seemingly ready to turn and leave: “Too bad, only the Hokage can help me in this village…”

What kind of player...

Daring to sow discord between me and Uchiha Itachi?

I once followed Akihara Kagura!

Uchiha Sasuke nonchalantly put his hands in his pockets, intending to leave, but he glanced at Shimura Danzō from the corner of his eye. He knew something about this old man...

After all...

Shimura Danzō is the original leader of the Root, living somewhat disgracefully, but the Root has detailed records of many foolish things he did for the Hokage. As long as the Hokage is mentioned, this old man would lose his sanity...

“Uchiha Sasuke…”

Shimura Danzō’s face turned sinister, and his voice was low and suppressed: “The one who can help you in Konoha may not necessarily be the Hokage…”

“The Hokage can do things you can't?”

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Shimura Danzō, speaking casually: “But it seems you are just a subordinate of the Hokage…”

“!!!”

Shimura Danzō's ambition was clearly pricked by Uchiha Sasuke’s seemingly inadvertent words, anger spreading in his chest!

This kid!

How dare he look down on me!

The Hokage!

Because I'm not the Hokage, even the village kids dare to look down on me!

“……”

Uchiha Sasuke took step after step away, seemingly ignoring the furious Shimura Danzō behind him, slowly waiting for him to propose new terms.

After all...

I can’t just join Shimura Danzō for no reason, right?

Given my current loyal attitude towards the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and my apparent need for his help, combined with my power, shouldn’t Shimura Danzō be worried about his plans with Orochimaru being ruined?

Old man...

Just offer some important conditions!

If you can provide conditions that move me, I’ll immediately pretend to be loyal to you like Akihara Kagura, and even serve you until your end!

“Wait…”

As Uchiha Sasuke expected, Shimura Danzō couldn’t ignore his power. The old man gripped his cane tightly and walked closer to him.

“Some things…”

Shimura Danzō slowly said, removing the bandage on his head: “If the Monkey can do it, I can do it too, even better…”

“Huh?”

“What?”

Uchiha Sasuke stopped and turned to look at Shimura Danzō, curious about what he might offer.

“For example…”

“The Monkey can make you obey his orders…”

The old man revealed a scarlet eye, a cold, smug smile crossing his face: “I can make you obedient too, even more so…”

“That is…”

Uchiha Sasuke’s expression changed.

This old man...

Sure enough, in this world, he possesses that Sharingan...

In the real world, Uchiha Sasuke recalled his conversation with Shisui, where it was mentioned that Shimura Danzō had stolen Shisui's Kotoamatsukami Mangekyō Sharingan. Akihara Kagura had carelessly told them that the eye had been destroyed...

In this world...

Without Akihara Kagura...

The eye naturally wasn’t destroyed...

This old man is so incompetent, instead of offering important conditions, he wants to use the Kotoamatsukami Mangekyō Sharingan to make me submit!

Trying to make a deal without any cost!

“Are you wondering…”

Shimura Danzō said softly, “Why would I reveal having a Sharingan in front of you?”

“Furthermore…”

“This Sharingan isn’t ordinary…”

“It’s a Mangekyō Sharingan like yours…”

“Mangekyō?”

Uchiha Sasuke gripped the ninja sword on his back, cautiously watching Shimura Danzō’s eye, asking knowingly: “Whose eye is that? Do you think a Mangekyō Sharingan can make me obey you?”

“Fool!”

“The abilities of a Mangekyō Sharingan are different!”

“My Mangekyō Sharingan has abilities beyond your imagination!”

“In an Uchiha, the Mangekyō Sharingan is the strongest. Do you think having an eye will make me submit?”

Uchiha Sasuke mocked, “Or do you think the identity of the eye's original owner will persuade me?”

“Hmph…”

Shimura Danzō coldly laughed, slowly saying: “If you knew whose eye this was and the power it holds, you wouldn’t ask such a foolish question…”

“This is…”

“Uchiha Shisui’s eye…”

“He was a genius as extraordinary as you…”

Shimura Danzō praised Uchiha Shisui while introducing the eye’s ability: “The ability within this eye is called Kotoamatsukami…”

“!!!”

Uchiha Sasuke’s eyes flashed with shock, as if recalling something terrifying. He tried hard to emulate Akihara Kagura, bringing his acting to its peak: “Shisui's Kotoamatsukami Mangekyō Sharingan can silently change a person’s will. How did it fall into your hands…”

“You killed him!”

Uchiha Sasuke seemed to realize the truth, his eyes widening, turning scarlet: “Back then... you killed him!”

This is really…

So difficult!

Uchiha Sasuke realized Akihara Kagura’s challenges once more!

How does that guy always perform in front of everyone in the ninja world, pretending to know all the truths but unable to speak them? This is really too hard!

At least…

Uchiha Sasuke could only use his inner anger to avoid accidentally revealing any secrets to Shimura Danzō...

Fortunately…

Shimura Danzō will die this year, so I don’t have to pretend for as long as Akihara Kagura...

“You can think so.”

Shimura Danzo leisurely recalled the ease with which he had stolen Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami Mangekyo Sharingan. He spoke slowly, "Uchiha Shisui was a genius, but too naive. He thought that compliance could change everything, but he forgot one crucial thing..."

At this point, Danzo made no attempt to conceal his attitude toward the Uchiha clan, openly stating, "A group of Uchihas who become powerful through their emotions will also exhibit extreme behaviors due to those same emotions. The Uchiha clan will always be the most unstable factor in Konoha. I do not believe the Uchiha will always obey the higher-ups..."

"However..."

"You can rest assured, boy."

"I won't kill you, because I need a sharp blade."

Danzo extended his hands, revealing his intentions for Uchiha Sasuke, "After I use Kotoamatsukami on you, you will become my sharpest blade, and Konoha's sharpest blade..."

After all...

Kotoamatsukami's ocular jutsu is overwhelmingly powerful!

"Come now..."

"Submit to me..."

Even Danzo couldn't help but feel a surge of confidence in his heart. He had already decided how to use Uchiha Sasuke in the future!

"Only the Root is the most suitable place for you!"

"....."

Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth as he looked at Danzo. His heart was pounding, for the crucial moment of the act had arrived, and Sasuke wasn't entirely sure when he would be caught in Kotoamatsukami's genjutsu!

The key is...

He possessed the Rinnegan!

Making him immune to all genjutsu in the world!

Sasuke had once witnessed the power of Kotoamatsukami. He knew it could silently and instantaneously alter someone's will...

However...

When would Danzo use his ocular jutsu? When should Sasuke pretend to be under Kotoamatsukami and show loyalty to Danzo?

It wasn't easy...

The old man was still issuing threats, and his Sharingan still showed the three tomoe, indicating that he hadn't used Kotoamatsukami yet...

But...

Sasuke couldn't be sure...

No...

There was a way!

Sasuke's mind quickly devised a plan!

Though he didn't know when Danzo would use Kotoamatsukami, in the most dangerous moment, Danzo would undoubtedly activate the genjutsu!

At that moment...

He would pretend to be submissive...

And since Kotoamatsukami's cooldown period was several years, Danzo likely hadn't used it on anyone else, meaning he wouldn't know what it looked like when someone fell under its control...

Even if Danzo use Kotoamatsukami, if Sasuke delayed his submission a bit, it wouldn't matter; he could use his Mangekyo Sharingan's power as an excuse...

Moreover...

If he succumbed too easily, Danzo might suspect something; after a hard-fought battle, if Danzo use Kotoamatsukami, it would put his mind at ease...

In an instant!

Sasuke dashed towards Danzo, drawing his ninja blade and striking at Danzo's head, shouting impatiently, "Old man, do you think one eye can make me submit?!"

"So fast..."

Danzo's face showed a trace of surprise.

He had heard of Uchiha Sasuke's genius, but he hadn't expected such speed and skill in body and blade techniques!

Clang!

Danzo drew a ninja blade from his cane, blocking Sasuke's attack!

"As long as I don't look at you..."

Sasuke closed his eyes, moving with lightning speed, his blade striking several times, "I shouldn't be hit by your genjutsu..."

Clang, clang, clang...

Danzo parried!

Even with the Sharingan's support, Danzo found it hard to keep up; Sasuke's swordsmanship was exceptional!

"....."

Danzo was forced to retreat, frowning.

It seemed...

This was going to be troublesome...

As Sasuke had anticipated, Danzo realized the challenge. Perhaps to show he wasn't helpless, he began to unleash Kotoamatsukami's power...

This allowed Sasuke to be on guard.

However...

It was all within Danzo's control.

Danzo gently tapped his right arm, releasing the seals, revealing a white arm adorned with numerous scarlet Sharingan eyes.

"....."

Sasuke immediately sensed the chakra, opening his eyes to see Danzo's white arm with embedded Sharingan.

"Those are... Sharingan!"

Sasuke's eyes burned with anger. Danzo had collected so many Sharingan, using them as decorations!

Those Sharingan...

All from the Uchiha clan!

How many Uchihas had fallen to Danzo's hand!

No...

Not just decorations...

The arm carried the First Hokage's cells...

Sasuke quickly understood Danzo's strange arm. He saw everything clearly in an instant...

The old man...

Wanted to use Uchiha's chakra to resist the First Hokage's cells!

Only Uchiha's chakra could counter the cells of the First Hokage, enabling the wielder to control Wood Release, one reason surviving Uchihas possessed dual Kekkei Genkai...

No!

Something was still off!

Sasuke knew the power of Wood Release.

Wood Release was formidable in the hands of the First Hokage and Akihara Kagura but weak in others' hands, incapable of matching Mangekyo Sharingan users. Danzo couldn't rely on it against Sasuke, unless he foolishly thought Wood Release was the Uchiha's nemesis...

"It should be..."

"Another secret..."

Sasuke tapped his sword hilt, contemplating Danzo's other tricks. Danzo had used Izanagi against Shisui; was he planning to use the arm's Sharingan for Izanagi against Sasuke? Could those eyes be sacrificed for Izanagi?

"I didn't want to reveal them..."

Danzo raised his arm, admiring the embedded Sharingan, looking at Sasuke, "But to obtain such a sharp weapon as you, it's worth it..."

If he could use Kotoamatsukami to control Sasuke, revealing these secrets was inconsequential!

Moreover...

By controlling Sasuke...

Danzo could acquire more Mangekyo Sharingan!

Danzo didn't know what abilities Sasuke's Mangekyo Sharingan held, but he knew two were better than one!

Everything seemed destined...

First, he would control Sasuke, then have Orochimaru kill Sarutobi Hiruzen in the Chunin Exam's third round, using Sasuke to claim the Hokage title...

Then...

Sasuke would kill Itachi...

Securing four Mangekyo Sharingan for transplant!

As Danzo concluded his plan, his heart burned with anticipation. His fingers swiftly formed the seals to activate Izanagi...

"Those seals..."

"Izanagi!"

Sasuke recognized the seals immediately, having learned about Izanagi and Izanami from Uchiha Madara.

Sasuke instantly understood Danzo's strategy: using Izanagi to find an opening for Kotoamatsukami!

"Very well..."

"As you wish..."

Sasuke's gaze fixed on Danzo's white arm, not hiding his murderous intent. His mind was already planning revenge, "When I become the leader of the Root, I'll kill you many times with those Sharingan..."

"No..."

"Killing you many times is too lenient..."

"I'll make you lose everything you gained..."

Sasuke recalled Akihara Kagura's methods, envisioning how to torment Danzo, "I'll make you feel the despair of being a mere pawn in my hands, just like Akihara Kagura would."
