Chapter 696: Unexpected Encounter With Akatsuki
Drip! Drip!
In a dark and damp cave, the intermittent sound of water droplets falling echoed.
Danzō sat in the lotus position, without a care about the water droplets falling on his head, or perhaps it should be said he didn’t even realize that water drops were constantly falling on his head.
At this time, his brain filled with uncontrollable emotions, although the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in his eyes was spinning rapidly, his eyes were actually out of focus, as if was in some kind of Genjutsu, and in such a state, he muttered to himself, “Just you all wait… As soon as I obtain those eyes, I will become the strongest in the Shinobi World, what Akatsuki what Amatsukami… all of them will be stepped on by me!”
“The shinobi world belongs to me and me alone, Konoha belongs to me and me alone… Tobirama-sensei, I am going to show you how I unify the Shinobi world and bring glory to Konoha!”
“Oh, it’s not that I hate you or anything, I just want you to understand that your decision to make Sarutobi the Hokage was WRONG! It should have been me! A weakling like Sarutobi doesn’t deserve to be Hokage… under his leadership, the village has only decayed and will continue to decay! Only I am capable of bringing back Konoha’s former glory and leading the village forward!”
Anyone who sees Danzō in this state would only say one thing, that Danzō seems to be completely immersed in his own world of illusion, and he has gone too far behind to look back. His emotions are getting more and more uncontrollable, from simply muttering to himself in self-hypnotism to shouting hysterically and roaring.
“Only I, Shimura Danzō is a worthy Hokage, others are just trash! Hahahahaha… Konoha, Konoha is obviously mine, the entire Shinobi world is mine, everything belongs to me and me alone!”
While Danzō was muttering absurd things in self-hypnotism, and exuding an indescribable and evil atmosphere, suddenly, the sound of faint footsteps reached his ears and brought him out of his trance, as he muttered with a weird smirk, “Are you finally here?”
It didn’t long for a group of shinobi dressed in black with red cloud prints to appear before him.
Looking at the people who appeared before him, Danzō’s excitement turned into disappointment, “Oh, it is just your group…”
But then he noticed the eyes of people approaching him and muttered with an excited smirk, “Rinnegan… Really wonderful Dojutsu… I wonder what my eyes will be like after they evolve…? Heh, they will definitely be stronger than the Rinnegan!”
No doubt, the people who appeared before Danzō at this moment are the Six Paths of Pain.
Deva Path stared at Danzō indifferently, his eyes rested on Danzō’s eyes and muttered, “So he really has Mangekyou Sharingan…”
Deva Path was neither too surprised nor was he concerned because of Danzō’s Mangekyou Sharingan, to him, it is just a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, nothing to fuss about.
At this time, Danzō stood up from the ground and sighed, “I hadn’t expected that the person who would find me first would be you… but it doesn’t really matter… let me test the power of your eyes.”
Facing Deva Path who had singlehandedly destroyed Konoha, Danzō didn’t show any trace of fear, rather, he was eager to fight, “You’ll be a good warm-up before I fight them.”
Deva Path was surprised, “So it seems you have been waiting for someone else to find you…” then he shook his head and continued, “Oh well, not that it matters, since I am going to put an end to your life today.”
“Me and die, that too by you lot?” Danzō sneered, “You send here a bunch of puppets and dare to assert that you are going to put an end to my life? Humph, you barely know my power! Whether it’s your Akatsuki Organization or the Amatsukami Organization… all will be destroyed by me! This shinobi world will only be ruled by me!”
Hearing Danzō’s arrogant and provocative words, Deva Path no longer bothered with words, he simply raised his hand and muttered, ‘Shinra Tensei!’
…
In another cave.
‘Madara’ and Zetsu walked side by side into the cave and soon found Shimura Danzō sitting in the lotus position.
Seeing the three members of the Akatsuki Organization approaching him, Danzō coldly snorted coldly, “I didn’t expect that the Akatsuki Organization would dare to come to me looking for trouble… I will remember this, consider yourselves lucky this time!”
Then, he didn’t wait for the others to speak anything and simply weaved a series of hand signs.
Poof!
And with a ‘poof’ his body exploded into a burst of white smoke and disappeared.
Zetsu muttered, “Shadow Clone, it seems that this location is the wrong one, this means Nagato will be the one fighting with Shimura Danzō.”
“So, it seems.” Muttered Madara, with added thoughtfully, “But something is bugging me.”
Zetsu asked in confusion, “What?”
Madara explained, “From the way Shimura Danzō’s clone reacted to my arrival, he wasn’t surprised or panicked that someone located him, he seemed rather disappointed, it’s as if he was expecting someone else to find him, however, the person he was expecting didn’t come…”
Zetsu frowned, then said, “Aren’t you thinking a bit too much, the reason he didn’t panic is probably only because he was a clone and not the original him… I doubt he would have remained so calm if it were the original him.”
Madara shook his head, “I don’t think so.” Then added after a pause, “In any case, send a few of your clones to Nagato’s side and instruct them to be careful, it seems there is something more happening here than we know.”
Zetsu was surprised, “Alright.” Then added, “But I still think that you are probably worried too much. Even if something is more to it than we know, we don’t need to worry about Nagato. That guy is a monster through and through, and no one except Yama is his opponent, even if Shimura Danzō has absorbed some Kekkei Genkai and has got his hands on Mangekyou Sharingan, he is no match for Nagato.”
‘Madara’ muttered lightly, “I hope that’s the case.”
There are so many rumors circulating in the Shinobi World about Shimura Danzō that perhaps no one in the Shinobi World except the man himself can tell what exactly has happened to him and what exactly is going on.
Lately, more and more things are getting out of his control, he doesn’t anything to mess up his plans, and affect Project Tsuki no Me, one Amatsukami is already troublesome enough that he hasn’t been able to make any progress so far, now another Danzō has appeared.
The real strength and danger of Shimura Danzō have yet to be determined, so ‘Madara’ is somewhat worried. If something were to happen to Nagato, and the pair of Rinnegan that Nagato has, then the entire Project Tsuki no Me will be affected, and that is something ‘Madara’ can’t allow to happen in any case.
As ‘Madara’ was busy thinking, suddenly the sound of explosions echoed from outside the cave.
Boom! Boom! Boom! BOOM!
