This Danzo Is Weird!

"See, Yahiko, these are the people who survived under the light of your Will of Fire," Danzō said softly, standing behind Yahiko with his hands gently resting on the wheelchair handles.

The scene before him seemed to bring him a sense of satisfaction, as it reminded him of the days when he was called "Grandpa Mummy."

"These... are all people who survived because of me..." Yahiko murmured repeatedly.

Though he wasn't entirely sure what the so-called "Will of Fire" meant, this time he truly felt that his own will could burn like a flame, warming and saving those around him. Describing it as the "Will of Fire" seemed quite fitting.

Danzō nodded and said, "Do you still think of yourself as a useless cripple now?"

He looked at the people before them and continued, "It is precisely because of your ideals and will for peace that so many people have gathered around you, working together to protect so many lives."

A look of struggle appeared on Yahiko's face. He lowered his head and said in an uncertain tone, "Can I really do it?"

His hands gripped the armrests tightly. "Lord Danzō, if this will for peace is truly effective, why did our sincerity not only fail to be rewarded but was instead exploited by Hanzō?"

Yahiko raised his head, his gaze fixed on Danzō with doubt, as if searching for a suitable explanation in the elder's eyes.

Danzō smiled slightly and explained, "That's because your approach was wrong."

"My approach was wrong?" Yahiko was full of confusion.

He had always treated everyone with sincerity, never actively harming others, and even provided food for free. How could that be wrong?

Danzō clasped his hands behind his back and walked to Yahiko's side, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Being kind to others is not wrong in itself, but not everyone in this world deserves your kindness."

"Kindness is only a remedy for peace when directed at those who also possess kindness. In the face of the truly wicked, such unconditional kindness becomes a blade that turns against you."

"For example, Hanzō exploited your naivety and kindness to inflict great harm on you, even personally snuffing out the peace and future of the Land of Rain."

At the mention of Hanzō, Yahiko's brow furrowed immediately.

It was precisely this intense emotion and the experience of betrayal that allowed him to quickly understand Danzō's meaning.

"Are you saying that kindness should not be unconditional, that it needs to be differentiated?"

Hearing that Yahiko finally understood, Danzō breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He had been worried that Yahiko might be the type to stubbornly continue down the path of helping others at all costs.

If that were the case, Danzō might have had no choice but to cut off his support for them.

After all, boundless kindness not only harms oneself but also others.

Rather than being devoured later, it would be better to sever ties now.

Fortunately, after experiencing Hanzō's betrayal and the life-and-death crisis of his comrades, Yahiko was no longer so naive.

At the very least, he could now listen to Danzō's words.

Danzō nodded. "That's right. To pursue peace, we must first distinguish between our friends and our enemies."

"Anyone who desires peace and contributes to it is our friend."

"Anyone who seeks to disrupt peace and stability is our enemy!"

"To our friends, we must unite, cooperate, and be as gentle as the spring breeze."

"To our enemies, we must fight, resist, and be as harsh as the winter frost!"

"Only in this way can we achieve the ideal of world peace."

Danzō's words made Yahiko's eyes grow brighter and brighter.

"Not only must we be gentle with friends, but we must also be harsh with enemies..."

Yahiko suddenly gripped the wheelchair armrests tightly.

He felt as though he had finally found the key to the problem.

Perhaps his approach had been wrong all along.

He had overemphasized using kindness to create peace but had never considered how to protect that kindness!

To create peace, kindness alone is not enough; one must also have the resolve to strike down those who would destroy peace!

I understand!

Lord Danzo, I understand!

Yahiko's eyes shone with newfound clarity, his thoughts flowing freely, and even the world around him seemed to brighten.

"I understand, Lord Danzō. I will no longer wallow in despair. I will fight against the forces that seek to destroy peace!"

Yahiko's gaze was firm, his determination resolute.

His sudden burst of energy startled Konan, who had been watching from a distance.

How did this kid suddenly recover?

Truly, the legendary "Darkness of the Shinobi" and his brainwashing—no, his ability to guide thoughts—is formidable!

Konan thought to herself in amazement.

Just moments ago, Yahiko had been a pitiful, self-pitying wreck, but after a few words from Danzō, he was now full of energy, as if he had been injected with adrenaline. Such power was truly overwhelming.

However, Yahiko's excitement lasted only three seconds.

Soon, he calmed down and looked at Danzō with eager eyes, asking, "Then, Lord Danzō, what should we do next?"

Even Danzō was momentarily taken aback by Yahiko's sudden shift.

In his imagination: I suddenly have an epiphany, comprehend the world, and rise to the peak of life.

In reality: I understand, I stand up, I play a help card.

Danzō: ?

Looking at Yahiko's clear yet somewhat foolish eyes, Danzō could only say, "Who do you think is the biggest obstacle to peace for the people of the Land of Rain now?"

If asked before, Yahiko would have said it was Konoha, Iwa, or Suna.

But now, there was only one person in his mind—the legendary "Demigod."

"Hanzō of the Salamander!"

Hearing this name, Danzō was pleased.

"Then go and kill him."

"Eh?"

Now it was Yahiko's turn to be stunned.

He pointed at himself, incredulous. "Me? Kill Hanzō?"

Though he wanted to laugh, Danzō maintained a calm expression and explained, "The current Hanzō is nothing more than a walking corpse. He is no longer the Demigod he once was."

"Now that Konoha has made peace with Suna, only by killing Hanzō can you truly take control and bring peace to the Land of Rain."

"Besides, I will also help you."

Danzō's last sentence gave Yahiko a great deal of confidence.

Though Hanzō was now old, the reputation of the Demigod still lingered.

With the current strength of the Akatsuki, taking on Hanzō alone would be too difficult.

Unless they relied on Nagato's unstable power.

But if Danzō, representing Konoha, was willing to help, then things would undoubtedly become much easier.

Just as Yahiko was deep in thought, Nagato's figure silently appeared beside him.

As soon as Yahiko turned his head, he felt an overwhelming drowsiness and uncontrollably fell into a deep sleep.

A genjutsu?

Danzō turned and saw the red-haired Nagato.

Thanks to Danzō's intervention, Nagato had not lost his legs in the explosion.

However, due to the burden of the Rinnegan, he looked somewhat emaciated.

Seeing Danzō's gaze, Nagato gave a slight nod.

Then he said to Konan, who was not far away, "Take Yahiko to rest. I have something to discuss with Lord Danzō."

Sheets of paper quickly formed, assembling into Konan's figure behind the wheelchair.

She grasped the wheelchair handles and said to Danzō, "Then I'll take my leave."

Danzō nodded, watching as she pushed Yahiko away before turning back to Nagato.

"It seems you have something important to discuss with me?"

Nagato nodded firmly without hesitation and got straight to the point. "To be honest, I overheard your conversation with Yahiko."

As the possessor of the Rinnegan, Nagato's level of sensory ability did not surprise Danzō.

In fact, he was quite curious about what Nagato's current thoughts were after all he had been through.

Nagato did not hold back and said directly:

"After that incident, I followed your advice and left this place to travel to various regions."

"During this time, I encountered all kinds of people."

"There were displaced wanderers who still held onto their kindness."

"There were cruel parents who resorted to cannibalism to survive."

"There were scoundrels who killed to steal food."

"And there were women who sold themselves to feed their children..."

As he spoke, Nagato showed no signs of agitation or anger.

From beginning to end, he spoke calmly.

"I understand that human nature is complex and cruel."

"Therefore, to achieve so-called peace, kindness alone is far from enough!"

Nagato's tone finally grew resolute.

He looked at Danzō and said with utmost seriousness, "If Yahiko wishes to become the light of the Land of Rain, then I am willing to become the shadow and darkness behind him!"

"I want to become like you, Lord Danzō, the root that silently supports the entire nation!"

Looking at the sincere Nagato before him, Danzō felt a sense of absurdity.

Oh no, I've become an idol!

He never expected that Nagato, who had been so highly regarded by Madara Uchiha and Zetsu, would follow his example and learn how to become a proper "root."

This was truly... Irony!

Was the Akatsuki going to become a second Konoha?

Would there come a day when—

Nagato angrily says: Yahiko, you will regret this!

And Yahiko sternly replies: Nagato, I am the leader!

And then: Boom!

This scene was just... too bizarre.

"I never expected you to choose such a path," Danzō said with a hint of awkwardness.

"Bearing the darkness is no simple task."

Nagato showed no hesitation.

"For Yahiko's sake, I can endure any darkness."

"Then what do you plan to do next?" Danzō asked, looking at this seemingly transformed young man.

"Kill Hanzō and make Yahiko the leader of the Land of Rain."

"He will be the sun, creating peace."

"And I will be the darkness, devouring all who seek to destroy it!"
