Naruto: The Fall of the Uchiha - Chapter 61
Obviously!
Danzo is such a pure individual. Although Jin has always looked down on this guy, he knows that Danzo is a true ninja in every sense.
Danzo will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, and Kakuzu will kill and burn for money. Though both are genuine villains, their understanding of the word “ninja” is quite fitting.
Compared to those who believe their own slogans of love and peace, if someone like Danzo were to uphold the title of ‘Kage,’ he would create a truly iron-blooded and ruthless ninja army.
In a world without cheats and bloodline supremacy, Danzo might well be a ruler who conquers the world through fear.
Therefore.
Who could be more suitable than Danzo as the cornerstone of the Netherworld?
Because of this, Uchiha Jin needs him to experience the utmost suffering!
Only a Danzo Shimura who dies unwillingly after enduring countless hardships will have a will strong enough to be forged in endless resentment and reluctance.
Even in the Netherworld’s ‘Izanami Power’, his strong soul and unyielding will would never collapse by admitting his mistakes.
Thus, he would be forever trapped in the endless cycle of the Netherworld’s purgatory, becoming the most resilient resource for the growth of the Netherworld and the most anticipated sacrifice for Uchiha Jin at this moment.
Swish!
The space distortion flashed and disappeared, seemingly unchanged.
However, Uchiha Jin, who had connected with a ‘pocket’ Netherworld space, finally revealed a relieved smile.
Hmm…
Although the consumption was greater than expected, it wasn’t unbearable.
Listen to me, thank you!
Because of you, the four seasons are warm…
The joy in Uchiha Jin’s heart at this moment was indescribable, even the moments of frustration caused by Danzo in the past had completely vanished.
Regardless of his recent torments, Danzo’s current state of bearing everything was enough to offset all his past punishments.
“Finally took the first step!”
After finishing everything, Uchiha Jin didn’t rush to wipe away the bloody tears at the corner of his eyes. The smile on his face gradually turned serious.
The Sharingan, also known as the Eye of Reflection, responds to the host’s most intense inner desires.
The manifestation of the Mangeky? Sharingan’s power, ‘Izanagi’, capable of opening the underworld, could naturally not hide from Uchiha Jin.
“Sage of the Six Paths, I never thought the one I feared the most would be this existence!”
Uchiha Jin sneered in his heart but upon reflection, found it not surprising. He had simply been unaware before.
Indeed.
Shisui’s ‘Kotoamatsukami’ put great mental pressure on Uchiha Jin, but he subconsciously believed that a naïve guy like Shisui would eventually die by his own hand, only needing a push from behind.
As for another Uchiha, the rebellious Itachi, without awakening the Mangeky? Sharingan, couldn’t pose a threat to Jin. He believed he would become even stronger by the time Itachi grew.
As for Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, despite the significant power gap, Uchiha Jin, who looked down on them, didn’t feel genuine fear before completely flipping the table.
So only the Six Paths Sage, always silently watching over the ninja world from the Pure Land…
This existence, who could potentially stab him in the back at the end, was the subconscious threat Uchiha Jin cared about the most.
And the so-called ‘Izanagi’ might come from this!
But now, with the power of the Mangeky? Sharingan possessing the ability to open the Netherworld, Uchiha Jin grew more wary of the Sage of the Six Paths after sensing this terrifying power.
Countless ages!
The ninja world has been at war endlessly, countless strong have fallen, so how terrifying would the Sage of the Six Paths be now…
But these are matters for the future. The newly born Netherworld space urgently needs resources to nourish itself.
Just as Uchiha Jin turned to look at the remaining ‘Root’ members, Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived with Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane.
“Although Danzo did many wrong things, death erases all sins. Why torment his soul?”
Hiruzen Sarutobi, first out of unwillingness to see his friend’s soul tortured and second to probe Uchiha Jin’s Mangeky? abilities, stepped forward.
Information is crucial in ninja battles!
The peculiar ability Uchiha Jin just displayed was clearly related to his Mangeky?’s unique powers. Extracting some details would be highly beneficial.
Powers related to the soul are extremely terrifying and evil!
“Impossible!”
Such petty thoughts couldn’t fool Uchiha Jin, but he didn’t mind revealing some information and saw it as an opportunity to pressure Konoha further.
“My grandson Uchiha Shisui didn’t die in vain, nor did the clansmen whose Sharingan were stolen. Death alone cannot escape punishment!”
“Death merely gives Danzo an escape from his sinful life, but in my world… his soul will suffer eternal torment in purgatory!”
Uchiha Jin’s gaze swept over the surrounding people, finally locking onto Hiruzen Sarutobi with murderous intent.
“This is the fate of those who oppose the Uchiha clan!”
“You…”
Under the oppressive killing intent, Hiruzen Sarutobi involuntarily stepped back but forced himself to hold his ground.
“After all, Danzo contributed to the village…”
“Contribution?”
Uchiha Jin sneered and pointed at the ninja leaders present mockingly.
“His ‘contribution’ involves experimenting on missing clan members. If this counts as a great contribution…”
Uchiha Jin paused and then unleashed his powerful aura, pointing at Hiruzen Sarutobi’s nose and roaring.
“Is this what you have done as an interim Hokage?”
“I wasn’t aware of this, Danzo deserved to die, I just trusted the wrong person…”
Hiruzen Sarutobi, regretting bringing up Danzo, tried to evade the topic.
(Danzo in the Netherworld: No~~~(????)?????)
“I’ve heard enough of your excuses!”
Uchiha Jin, losing patience, unleashed his aura, summoning Susanoo.
Boom!
Although not as colossal as the hundred-meter giant from before, the seven to eight-meter-tall Susanoo was still intimidating.
“Uchiha Jin, what are you doing!”
Despite trembling, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane stepped forward to reprimand him.
Swish!
Ignoring them, Uchiha Jin condensed a blood-red chakra blade and slashed forward.
The sharp blade carved a trench before Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others.
Looking down on them coldly, Uchiha Jin declared in a chilling tone.
“From today, the Konoha Police Force formally strips Hiruzen Sarutobi of his interim Hokage duties!”
