Hokage: I Confronted the Five Kage Before the System Arrived

Chapter 95: I Have Not Lost Yet!!!

" Kotoamatsukami!"

The Mangekyō Sharingan from Uchiha Shisui rapidly rotated within Danzo Shimura's right eye socket, activating the illusion hailed as the "strongest genjutsu."

The game was set!

No further turmoil arose as Hagoromo Gengetsu, standing before him, became deeply ensnared in the eye technique of Kotoamatsukami. All of his perceptions were fundamentally altered according to Danzo's will. It wouldn’t be long before this formidable opponent would become a loyal and reliable subordinate who accepted Danzo's ideology.

Danzo Shimura finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, he considered that all of Hagoromo Gengetsu’s ninjutsu, secret techniques, Kekkei Genkai, and most importantly, the mystery of his resurrection, would soon be his.

Danzo no longer felt sorrow for the loss of his subordinates. Instead, an extremely rare expression of immense joy spread across his face.

What did Hagoromo Gengetsu amount to? Under Danzo’s scheme, he was now just a catch in his net.

He had solved a significant threat to Konoha and the ninja world.

With Hagoromo Gengetsu set to become his ally, Danzo’s power would not only increase significantly, but he might even live a second life.

In that moment, Danzo’s ambition grew.

With such achievements, the position of Hokage should belong to him.

Once he became Hokage, he would surpass Hiruzen and lead Konoha to its true peak.

Therefore, for the sake of Konoha, it would be best if the Fifth Hokage was removed.

Danzo immediately thought of Orochimaru, who was well-suited for such dirty work.

"Or should I have Hagoromo Gengetsu do it?"

After all, no one knew he was now under Danzo's control.

Gazing at the motionless Hagoromo Gengetsu under Kotoamatsukami’s influence, Danzo touched the cross-shaped scar on his chin, confidently fantasizing about a bright future.

Suddenly!

A shadow moved swiftly before him, and a left hand gouged out his right eye socket.

"Ah!!!"

In Danzo's scream, his right eye socket turned into a bloody hole.

The eyeball originally seated inside fell into the left hand of the intruder.

At that moment, Hagoromo Gengetsu, holding the Mangekyō Sharingan with a blood-red base and black blade-like pattern, smiled slightly and said:

"Got it."

For Hagoromo Gengetsu, who now had a soul deficiency, his greatest fear was undoubtedly genjutsu targeting the soul.

Conveniently, Danzo Shimura possessed such a weapon specifically designed against him.

An eye transplanted from Uchiha Shisui, whose eye technique was renowned as the strongest genjutsu.

Hagoromo Gengetsu did not want to experience the effects of Kotoamatsukami.

Understanding Danzo’s power-seeking personality and his desire for the secret of resurrection due to his aging, Gengetsu had devised a plan using a shadow clone as bait.

Given the presence of Kotoamatsukami, Danzo would certainly prioritize controlling him.

Things unfolded as expected.

It had to be said, Danzo’s acting skills were impressive.

Anyone else unaware of his ability to use Izanagi would likely have been fooled by his death act, falling into his trap without realizing it.

However, Hagoromo Gengetsu, who still remembered the incident of kunai stabbing Susanoo after all these years, was not deceived. Instead, he played along, ultimately leading the cunning Danzo to use his trump card prematurely.

"How could this be???"

At this time, Danzo, having recovered from the pain of losing his eye, looked up to see Hagoromo Gengetsu holding the Mangekyō Sharingan. Then, looking at the “Hagoromo Gengetsu” affected by Kotoamatsukami in front of him, his face turned extremely ugly.

"It's simple."

Hagoromo Gengetsu put away the intact Mangekyō Sharingan, and with a "bang," the shadow clone affected by Kotoamatsukami dispersed into white smoke.

"A shadow clone?! When did this happen?"

Danzo roared in frustration.

He couldn’t believe that during the battle, when he seemed to have the absolute upper hand, Hagoromo Gengetsu had secretly swapped himself with a shadow clone.

'Could my abilities have been exposed?'

Ordinarily, no one would be cautious to such an extent.

Danzo first considered the possibility that his information had been leaked.

But after a moment, he thought that Gengetsu, who had only recently been resurrected, shouldn’t have known about him.

After all, apart from a few researchers at the Root, only Orochimaru knew the truth about his right arm.

The Root members had been implanted with the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal, preventing them from divulging information.

So, was it Orochimaru who leaked it?!

Remembering Orochimaru's previous encounter with Hagoromo Gengetsu, Danzo’s expression turned frighteningly dark.

But now was not the time to pursue this.

Without his trump card, Danzo felt the imminent threat of death as he faced Hagoromo Gengetsu again.

"The fun is over. Now, let’s get back to business."

"Danzo Shimura, it’s time for you to die."

A family should be united.

With no more concerns, Hagoromo Gengetsu immediately moved to attack.

"Damn it!"

Feeling immense pressure, Danzo quickly formed the three pre-hand seals to activate Izanagi.

Then he faced Hagoromo Gengetsu’s relentless onslaught.

One minute later.

Hagoromo Gengetsu threw Danzo Shimura’s shattered corpse to the ground and patiently waited.

Soon.

Danzo's corpse vanished right before his eyes.

Hagoromo Gengetsu turned his head to the left and looked at a pillar, saying calmly:

"Izanagi, a forbidden eye technique that alters reality at the cost of sacrificing a Sharingan."

"Modern people might not understand, but in the Warring States period, many died under this technique of the Uchiha."

Hearing this, Danzo Shimura, with a grim face, emerged from behind the pillar.

With no more illusions, he drew his kunai and stubbornly declared, "I refuse to believe that Hagoromo Gengetsu has no limits."

Determined to use Izanagi's invincible duration to outlast Hagoromo Gengetsu, Danzo decided to drag it out and see who would prevail in the end.

Thus, over the next period, Danzo continuously fought Hagoromo Gengetsu with a strategy of exchanging injury for injury.

However, the effect was minimal.

Thud.

Hagoromo Gengetsu threw Danzo's body with its twisted neck to the ground again. After counting the remaining Sharingan on Danzo's exposed right arm, he smiled slightly:

"I do have limits, but Danzo, your pressure is clearly insufficient."

Realizing this, Danzo quickly counted the few Sharingan left on his right arm, and his face twisted. Taking a deep breath, he stopped hesitating and turned to run.

This was Konoha!

He could summon more Konoha ninjas.

No matter the cost, he must exhaust Hagoromo Gengetsu.

He had not yet lost!!!
