"Pfft~~~"

Danzo looked down at his chest in disbelief.

Blood gushed from the wound, staining his clothes red.

"Hehehe..."

Feeling his life slipping away, Danzo started laughing instead.

"Evil little Uchiha brat, you let your guard down too... hehehe...ugh."

Danzo, whose heart had been pierced, laughed unwillingly as the light faded from his eyes.

"You really are useless." Kazuki muttered to himself as he pulled the blade out of Danzo's heart. Swiftly, he turned and stabbed again, dragging the blade downward.

"Ahhh!!!"

With a scream of agony, Danzo—who had attempted to attack Kazuki from behind—had his entire right hand slashed in half by the blade.

Even more distressing for Danzo was that several of the Sharingan eyes on his arm, which he hadn't yet used, were now destroyed.

Grabbing Danzo by the throat and lifting him up, Kazuki said with a blank expression.

"Did you really think that, if not for those pesky eyes, I would waste my time here with you? A loser who gets beaten senseless by someone as weak as Sasuke—what makes you think you can fight me?"

"???"

Danzo didn't know who this "Sasuke" was. All he knew was that he was truly done for.

As his mind reeled, Danzo, who hadn't yet activated Izanagi, found himself sitting on a small stool.

Looking around at the familiar space and setup, Kazuki smiled—a broad, delighted smile.

Where is this?

Why am I here?

Casually picking up a kunai from the table, Kazuki blew on it and said.

"This is my Genjutsu space. 'Judgment of Will. Even Orochimaru confessed all the information I needed from him while he was here. Danzo, as an Uchiha, let me tell you this. Izanagi is not perfect—it has significant flaws."

"Think carefully. When your consciousness collapses, your soul is damaged, and you lose all self-awareness, do you think Izanagi can still save you?"

"Agh!!"

The kunai stabbed through Danzo's middle finger like a giant toothpick, piercing through bone and flesh, splitting his left middle finger in half.

"Ahhh!!!!"

A shrill, heart-wrenching scream echoed through the space. The pain, which struck deep into his soul, made Danzo lose all control.

He had never experienced such agony before.

Kazuki had shown some mercy to Orochimaru, not subjecting him to tenfold pain amplification.

But against Danzo? No such courtesy was needed.

He went straight to tenfold pain amplification, allowing Danzo to fully enjoy the exquisite torment.

"The second finger."

Raising two fingers, Kazuki swung the kunai again, cutting Danzo's second finger.

Then came the third, the fourth...

Kazuki gave Danzo no time or chance to recover from the pain.

The soul-piercing, tenfold amplified agony nearly broke Danzo's will.

Sitting on the stool, his body convulsed, and his one remaining eye kept rolling upward.

Perhaps finding that one eye unpleasant, Kazuki casually inserted the kunai into Danzo's eye socket.

"Your voice is annoying, so…"

"Egh!"

Kazuki severed Danzo's tongue and vocal cords, robbing him of the ability to make any sound.

One slash, two slashes... Kazuki worked swiftly, unlike the leisurely pace he had with Orochimaru.

The kunai repeatedly landed on Danzo's body, keeping him trapped in this soul-wrenching pain, unable to escape.

By the time blood covered Danzo's entire body, he was completely still.

He wasn't dead, but his will had collapsed, and his soul was severely damaged.

Exiting the judgment space, Kazuki swung his blade, severing Danzo's right arm.

Looking at the pale face of Hashirama Senju embedded in Danzo's shoulder, Kazuki shook his head.

"How pitiful."

Repeated use of Mangekyo Sharingan techniques had drained Kazuki's ocular power significantly.

Fortunately, his visual power could slowly recover, preventing blindness, though his eyes felt sore.

Danzo, now missing his right arm, lay motionless on the ground. Kazuki sat on the steps, waiting for someone to clean up the mess.

Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps approached. Tsunade rushed in with her team.

Seeing Kazuki sitting on the steps and Danzo lying bloodied on the ground, Tsunade froze.

"Did you kill him?"

A few seconds later, she snapped out of it and quickly turned away.

She didn't want to see the pool of blood. Although she was working to overcome her hemophobia, it still made her uncomfortable.

At least it wasn't as bad as before when she'd become completely paralyzed at the sight of blood.

"How could I?"

Kazuki flashed a sunny smile as he wiped the blood-stained blade on Danzo's clothes before tossing it aside—the blade was ruined anyway.

"No matter what, Lord Danzo is a high-ranking member of the village! As a loyal member of the village, how could I kill him?"

"Then what is this...?"

"Probably a mental collapse? He tried to run, and I stopped him, but Izanagi is unpredictable, so I used Genjutsu to control him. Now his will might be shattered. Who knows—he might end up a vegetable."

Kill Danzo?

Of course not. Killing him would be too easy.

Letting him live as a vegetable, lying in bed for the rest of his life—that's the best care for him.

And I'll even hand him over to the Third Hokage. The Third can take care of his good friend for the rest of his life.

Imagine the Third Hokage changing Danzo's bedpans every day. How entertaining.

"A mental collapse?"

That's basically saying he's a vegetable! You might as well have killed him!

Tsunade rolled her eyes at Kazuki's words. Still, the fact that Danzo wasn't dead was good news.

"Clean up the scene and take Danzo to the hospital for treatment. Since he's alive, let's get him treated first. Once he's stable...send him to the Sarutobi clan."

Tsunade's thoughts aligned perfectly with Kazuki's.

Since they're such good friends, let the Third Hokage take care of the now-vegetative Danzo!

"..."

What kind of ridiculous suggestion is this?

Send him to the Third Hokage's house?

The ANBU members were dumbfounded, but Tsunade didn't bother with them. Fighting off her discomfort, she left the passage and stepped outside, taking deep breaths.

"Don't come near me. Let me compose myself."

Noticing Kazuki approaching, Tsunade immediately stopped him.

His bloodstained clothes were too much for her to handle. "Stay back and let me calm down."
