This Danzo Is Weird!

"We have won."

On the high platform raised by the green giant, Danzo slowly raised his hands.

Crimson blood trickled from his eyes, but his expression remained calm.

His slightly hoarse voice carried a steady tone, reaching every corner of the battlefield.

In an instant, all the Konoha ninjas who had risen from the ruins quickly regained their senses.

No matter how injured or exhausted they were, they raised their arms and cheered toward the figure standing at the center of the battlefield:

"We won!"

"We have won!"

"Long live Konoha!"

These overwhelming cheers eventually merged into one phrase—

"Long live Lord Danzo!!!"

Due to their overwhelming excitement, many of the wounded reopened their injuries, causing even the usually gentle Katsuyu to become somewhat exasperated.

---

"This old man really has some skills."

Tsunade looked at Danzo's back, her eyes shining with admiration.

It could be said that this war had completely changed her traditional view of her senior uncle.

She had originally thought he was just a despicable, scheming villain who only worked in the shadows.

But on the battlefield, he had displayed such immense strength and such terrifying charisma!

Such a resolute style was something even her teacher might not be able to match...

In such a wartime period, having such a staunch leader was undoubtedly a blessing for Konoha.

On the other side, Might Guy was also caught up in the frenzy.

"A true man should be like this!"

"Lord Danzo, you are my god!"

"Lord Danzo, let me burn my youth with you!!"

Might Guy cheered wildly.

At this moment, Danzo, who had encouraged and guided him, had even surpassed the Hokage in his heart!

Although Kakashi found Guy's antics somewhat ridiculous, he too felt a deep sense of awe when he looked at Danzo's back.

If the ninjas who completed missions could only be called small heroes, then Danzo was now showing Kakashi what it truly meant to be a great hero!

"Damn it, this old man's strength is actually so terrifying..."

Unlike the excitement of the Konoha ninjas, Mei Terumi felt a deep sense of wariness toward Danzo.

Unknowingly, the future Mizukage's heart had been completely shaped by Danzo.

Of course, this wasn't out of love.

It was a complex mix of hatred, wariness, and even fear.

"The light of the fire will illuminate the village and make new leaves sprout."

"So this is the true meaning of the Will of Fire?"

Shisui murmured as he gazed at Danzo's back.

His eyes grew brighter and clearer, eventually burning like flames.

At this moment, he had finally truly understood the meaning of the Will of Fire.

He had finally seen how Danzo, his teacher and mentor, embodied and practiced the Will of Fire through his actions.

It could be said that the doubts that had plagued this young man's heart had completely vanished at this moment.

He felt that he had found the path forward.

Unlike the excitement and cheers of the Konoha ninjas, the surviving Suna-nin were pale-faced, looking around in an attempt to find their leader.

Unfortunately, reality dealt them a heavy blow.

No matter how hard they searched, they could not find the Kazekage Rasa or the elder advisor Chiyo.

This was almost a fatal blow to the Suna forces.

In the decisive battle between the two leaders, one side stood up and declared victory, while the other had seemingly vanished.

Whether they had died or fled, this was something their forces could not bear.

Thus, upon realizing the truth, some Suna-nin decided to run away!

And this behavior undoubtedly triggered a snowball effect, leading to a mass retreat.

In an instant, all the Suna-nin who were still able to move scattered like a chaotic swarm of ants.

Seeing this, Danzo, of course, could not remain indifferent.

He looked around, and a terrifying killing intent radiated from him, spreading rapidly in all directions.

"All Suna-nin, listen! Those who surrender their weapons will not be killed!"

"Those who attempt to flee or dare to fight back will be executed without mercy!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Konoha ninjas present instantly perked up.

They pulled out kunai from their pockets, ready to act.

But to everyone's surprise, under Danzo's stern command, the thousands of Suna-nin present actually stopped in their tracks!

This was the authority Danzo had earned.

Even in the hearts of his enemies, it was effective!

Thus, the most bizarre scene of the war unfolded.

The numerically inferior Konoha forces calmly began capturing the larger Suna forces!

And the latter offered little resistance!

Of course, there was some resistance.

But those who dared to resist were quickly suppressed by Kakashi and his team.

The chaotic battlefield gradually calmed down as Konoha achieved this great victory.

At this point, Danzo finally let out a sigh of relief.

Although Konoha had also suffered significant losses in this war, the results were undoubtedly gratifying.

This battle alone would likely cripple the Land of Wind's national fortune for the next ten, or even twenty, years!

It was no exaggeration to say that for the next twenty years, Sunagakure's forces would not dare to set foot in the Land of Fire!

However, Danzo had no time to think about this now.

After gathering the prisoners, he immediately ordered Shisui, who was by his side.

"Send out all the reconnaissance ninjas to search for the Kazekage in the direction of the Land of Wind."

"Whether dead or alive, we must find his trail!"

Danzo's exposed eye narrowed, emitting a cold killing intent.

At the moment of the explosion, he had launched his carefully prepared [Wind Release: Tailed Beast Shuriken] at Rasa.

In such an unprepared state, his attack should have been fatal.

Even if Rasa wasn't dead, he was likely severely injured.

If they could capture the Kazekage, Konoha would truly have won big this time.

"Yes!"

Shisui quickly accepted the order and led the search team as Danzo's disciple.

The post-battle cleanup continued until sunset.

The thousands of Suna prisoners were categorized and imprisoned based on their strength.

Ordinary genin and chūnin were simply bound with chains to prevent them from forming hand seals.

As for the jōnin-level ninjas (including special jōnin), their chakra was sealed with specialized sealing techniques, and they were guarded around the clock.

It wasn't that Danzo didn't want to kill them outright, but the value hidden within these ninjas was simply too great.

Not only could they extract a wealth of information about Sunagakure and various secret techniques from their minds, but they could also serve as high-value labor and research material.

After the war, they could also be exchanged for resources with Sunagakure.

In short, they had many uses!

Only after arranging all these matters did Danzo, as the commander, finally have time to rest. Lying on his camp bed, he began to review the gains from this battle.

What he discovered shocked him.

Due to his heroic and individualistic performance, Danzo had reaped a massive harvest.

The rewards were varied and plentiful!

After all, at this moment, there wasn't a single Konoha ninja who didn't feel immense gratitude toward Danzo.

Thus, he had harvested a wide array of rewards.

As he eagerly began to examine them, the first thing that caught his eye was a life skill—[High-Speed Hand Movements].

Uh...

Those who know, know.

Danzo clenched his fist, feeling that it seemed, perhaps, a bit more agile?

But the more outrageous rewards were yet to come, such as [108 Styles of Applause], which introduced 108 different techniques, and [100 Ways to Win Over Your Boss]...

Danzo was left speechless.

He was the esteemed elder of Konoha, the leader of the Root!!

The only person in Konoha who could be considered his superior was the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi!

If he were to use the methods described in this skill to "win over" Hiruzen...

Danzo's face darkened.

The mental image was too horrifying to contemplate.

He quickly shook his head, dispelling these ridiculous thoughts.

After filtering out the "useless" skills, he finally identified the rewards that would truly enhance his strength.

The first was the [Susanoo] from Shisui and Fugaku.

Since Danzo had already mastered the first stage of Susanoo, the skill packs extracted from the two of them directly elevated his Susanoo to the third stage.

Compared to the ribcage of the first stage and the partial skeleton of the second stage, the third-stage Susanoo now had complete flesh, appearing as a giant with only an upper body!

Not only had its defensive capabilities improved, but it also enhanced Danzo's offensive options.

Although Danzo had successfully activated [Armored Susanoo (Perfect)] during the battle with Rasa by borrowing Shisui and Fugaku's ocular power, that was achieved through external means and didn't represent his true strength.

Additionally, since Danzo possessed two different Mangekyō Sharingan, his Susanoo could freely switch between Fugaku's light blue and Shisui's green.

Of course, the one he primarily displayed to the public was Shisui's green Susanoo.

This way, if anyone questioned him, he could use bloodline inheritance as an excuse.

After all, Uchiha Kagami and Shisui were grandfather and grandson.

It was only natural that their chakra color and Mangekyō patterns were similar, right?

In any case, in the many years since the village's founding, no two Uchiha with a blood relationship had awakened the Mangekyō.

Who could say whether blood relations would affect the Mangekyō's patterns?

As for Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Itachi, and Uchiha Sasuke, their Mangekyō hadn't manifested yet.

If he remembered correctly, Itachi was still just a kid.

Perhaps he could recruit him into the Root and train him properly...

But before bringing him into the Root, Danzo would have to carefully assess his mental state.

Otherwise, if Itachi ended up wiping out the Root for the sake of the village, that would be a bit too tragic.

The thought of Itachi saying, "There won't be a next time, Lord Danzo," made Danzo feel a bit uneasy. (Itachi's farewell words to Sasuke)

Pushing aside these future concerns, Danzo turned his attention back to his gains.

The second reward was Tsunade's A-rank medical ninjutsu, [Chakra Scalpel]

There wasn't much to say about this. As an A-rank technique, its offensive power was quite impressive.

If he could combine it with his Wind Release techniques, it should yield excellent results.

Next, the third reward was Might Guy's [Eight Gates: Fourth Gate: Gate of Pain]

The Eight Gates truly began to shine at the Fourth Gate: Gate of Pain.

After opening this gate, the user's strength would significantly increase, though it would also cause some damage to the body.

However, this technique was somewhat redundant for Danzo at the moment. The only thing worth looking forward to was its potential.

If he could progress to the Eighth Gate: Gate of Death and combine it with the Uchiha clan's forbidden technique, [Izanagi], Danzo would truly become unstoppable.

Even if Madara Uchiha were resurrected, Danzo would dare to face him.

At worst, he could follow the original plan and implant a bunch of Sharingan, then unleash his full power!

In addition, Danzo had successfully obtained Kakashi's S-rank Lightning Release technique, [Chidori].

Combined with the A-rank Lightning Release talent he had previously acquired, Danzo could now be considered half a Lightning Release master...

Speaking of which, with the numerous skill packs he had acquired, Danzo now possessed chakra of all nature types.

And his talent in each was quite good.

Wind Release was his strongest, at A+.

Lightning Release talent had reached A.

The other elements were at B+.

In a sense, couldn't Danzo be considered a low-budget version of the Professor of Ninjutsu?

If he used his skill points to upgrade all these talents to S-rank, even Hiruzen Sarutobi would have to humbly seek his advice.

Of course, that was unrealistic for now.

In addition to the skill packs, Danzo had also gained a large number of skill points.

Due to the unanimous admiration of the Konoha ninjas, his skill points had skyrocketed to 5,069!

And this was far from Danzo's limit.

After all, the news of this great victory had yet to spread.

Once it reached the village and spread throughout the Land of Fire, Danzo's skill points were bound to experience another surge!
