Naruto: My Sharingan is about to burst!

While chatting with Mikoto about recent events, Uchiha Kakuzan carefully placed his hand on Mikoto's lower abdomen, as if he could feel a small life slowly throbbing inside. This is my child. I will create a living environment for him without danger or war.

Gradually, the look in Uchiha Kakuzan's eyes became more and more determined. As his consciousness changed, the chakra in his body became more and more solid, the upper limit of his combat power also increased, and his aura and sense of oppression became more and more intense.

Uchiha Kakuyama also sensed the change in himself, but in order not to upset his sister Mikoto, he carefully restrained his aura.

Uchiha Kakuzan saw Mikoto looking at him and asked, "Did I scare you, Mikoto-nee?"

Mikoto Uchiha shook her head: "No, it's just that I feel that Mr. Qiu has changed a lot, and I feel more and more at ease with him." As she spoke, Mikoto lowered her head shyly.

Seeing that Mikoto was embarrassed, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't say anything. Instead, he hugged Mikoto and the two of them whispered sweet nothings to each other for a long time.

As dawn broke, Uchiha Mikoto fell asleep in Okayama's arms. Okayama gently placed Mikoto on the bed, careful not to wake her. He then sent several of his clanswomen, who were acting as maids, to take good care of Mikoto and Sasuke before heading to the Hokage Building to report for work.

Uchiha Kakuyama has been working in the Anbu at the Hokage Building for some time now. Although he didn't see the purple-haired girl he only met once, he has thoroughly figured out the defense forces around the Third Hokage.

The main bodyguard force around the Third Hokage was the Anbu. The Anbu was not only composed of people with strong combat abilities, but also some ninjas with special abilities who were always on standby by the Third Hokage's side. For example, the Byakugan and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio of the Hyuga clan (not the clan leader, but a member of the clan). Although they hid themselves very well, they could not escape the Mangekyou Sharingan of Uchiha Kakuzan, who had long since figured out their secrets.

Originally, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't intend to control Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, considering his lifelong dedication to Konoha. After all, Hiruzen wasn't inherently bad; he was just too weak-willed as he got older. He wanted to let him live peacefully for a few years so Orochimaru could send his teacher to his death.

However, plans can change drastically. Now, his child, Uchiha Kakuyama's child, is about to be born. Keeping the weak-willed Hiruzen Sarutobi and the dark and ruthless Danzo Shimura around would be bad for everyone. Moreover, the Third Hokage might be able to enjoy his old age peacefully because of him.

Since that's the case, let's resolve this problem once and for all.

Since Uchiha Kakuzan was already a member of the Anbu, there were no formalities. He went directly to the Third Hokage's office, knocked on the door, and politely asked, "Third Hokage, Uchiha Kakuzan is here to report for leave."

It was early morning, and the Third Hokage had just arrived at his office and hadn't met with anyone yet, so he was alone in the office. When he heard that it was Uchiha Kakuyama, he let him in. A few days ago, Uchiha Kakuyama had inexplicably taken several days off, and the Third Hokage planned to ask him about it, show his concern, and also instill the Will of Fire in him.

When Uchiha Kakuzan heard the Third Hokage tell him to come in, he opened the door and entered, standing in front of the Third Hokage's desk.

The Third Hokage took a puff of his pipe and asked with concern, "Qiu Shan, did you take leave earlier because of something? Do you need any help from this old man?"

Uchiha Kakuzan, intending to use the same trick again, replied, "Reporting to the Third Hokage, my Mangekyou Sharingan has encountered some minor problems. Due to excessive force when using Susanoo last time, my Sharingan has been aching slightly ever since. These past few days, I have been trying to see if it can be treated with the help of the clan elders."

Hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, the Third Hokage was somewhat concerned. After all, Uchiha Kakuzan was now a member of the Anbu, considered his subordinate, and one of Konoha's strongest fighters. If Uchiha Kakuzan's Sharingan had a problem, he would also suffer some losses. So he asked with concern, "How is it? Has the problem been resolved? Does your eye still hurt?"

Uchiha Kakuyama replied, "Replying to the Third Hokage, the Sharingan doesn't hurt anymore, but the pattern on the eye has changed somewhat. Hokage, you are a well-informed and renowned expert in ninjutsu. Could you please take a look?"

The Third Hokage was quite pleased to hear Uchiha Kyuuyama's flattering words. After all, the person in front of him was an Uchiha clan member who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. The Third Hokage was very happy to receive such flattery, so he said with a smile, "Kyuuyama, I am not omnipotent, but I have not lived this long for nothing. Open your Sharingan and let me see if I can find the problem."

Upon hearing the Third Hokage's words, Uchiha Kyuuyama knew that the Third Hokage had taken the bait. Suppressing his joy, he said in a deep voice, "Third Hokage, I apologize for my rudeness. I will open it now."

With that, Uchiha Kakuyama activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and looked at the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage had no doubt that Uchiha Kakuzan intended to harm him. After all, this was the Hokage Building, surrounded by ANBU ninjas in layers. If they attacked him here, not to mention the chances of success, even if they succeeded, he wouldn't be able to escape. And even if he did escape, his clan and friends were still in the village, and they wouldn't be able to escape either.

Just as the Third Hokage was carefully studying the pattern of Uchiha Kakuzan's Mangekyou Sharingan and noticed some changes, making it more refined than before, Uchiha Kakuzan also activated his eye technique on the Third Hokage.

Eye Technique - Kotoamatsukami, activated...

Since Uchiha Kakuyama was an old acquaintance, the Hyuga clan members hiding in the shadows did not activate their Byakugan, and the Yamanaka clan members only maintained the most basic senses, without going all out. With this level of senses, it was impossible to detect the abnormality when the eye technique Kotoamatsukami was activated.

While the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was researching Uchiha Kakuzan's Mangekyou Sharingan, a special force, unnoticed by anyone, silently invaded the Third Hokage's brain, drastically altering his thoughts, consciousness, beliefs, and everything within him. From that moment on, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, became Uchiha Kakuzan's slave; his words were Hiruzen's supreme command.

Eye Technique - Kotoamatsukami, successfully activated.

Chapter 61 The Book of Sealing

Chapter Sixty-One: The Book of Seals

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was observing Uchiha Kakuzan's Mangekyou Sharingan when suddenly, as if sensing something, he looked at Uchiha Kakuzan with an unusually complex expression. After a pause, he suddenly used a special hand gesture, waving it twice. Uchiha Kakuzan had never seen this gesture before; it seemed to be a gesture that had been separated from the hand gestures used by the Anbu.

However, Uchiha Kakuzan had particular confidence in 'Kotoamatsukami', believing that the Third Hokage was also under its control. Since his Sharingan evolved into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, the upper limit of the eye technique 'Kotoamatsukami' had also increased.

Uchiha Kakuzan could sense that unless someone reached the Six Paths level, and possessed a special eye technique born from another pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan that specifically countered genjutsu (though this was impossible), no one else could resist his 'Kotoamatsukami'. Even Uchiha Shisui's 'Kotoamatsukami' couldn't.

As the Third Hokage made this gesture, Uchiha Kakuyama could keenly sense that both the ANBU members hiding in the shadows and the ninjas with special abilities seemed to have all avoided him and left.

After the Third Hokage and the others in the shadows left, he suddenly formed hand seals and said, "Seal barrier, activate!" As the Third Hokage formed the seals, Uchiha Kakuyama could clearly feel a barrier covering the area around the Hokage's office, effectively isolating it.

After the Third Hokage set up the barrier, he picked up the pipe on the table, took a deep drag, and then exhaled heavily. Uchiha Kakuzan looked at the Third Hokage but made no other move, simply waiting quietly.

After finishing his pipe, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, put it down and finally asked, "This must be the eye technique of your Uchiha clan's Mangekyou Sharingan, right? I never expected the Uchiha clan's eye techniques to be so amazing, managing to trick me so easily without my knowledge."

Upon hearing the Third Hokage's words, Uchiha Kakuzan showed no disrespect whatsoever despite having the Third Hokage under his control. He calmly replied, "In response to the Third Hokage, this is indeed a jutsu of our Uchiha Mangekyou Sharingan. It can silently alter a person's thoughts and will without anyone noticing."

The Third Hokage nodded upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words. "I guessed it. Besides your Uchiha's eye techniques, I really can't think of any other ninjutsu or secret technique that could achieve such an effect in terms of both effectiveness and concealment. I can feel the power of this eye technique. Although I know you've controlled me through it, I have absolutely no hostility towards you, and I will obey your every word and will not do anything to harm you. I will even cover for you. This is truly a terrifying eye technique."

Uchiha Kakuzan nodded secretly upon hearing the Third Hokage's words. This was exactly the effect he wanted to achieve: to control the Third Hokage without leaving any loopholes. Previously, it was because Uchiha Shisui was too kind and refused to control his beloved Third Hokage through Kotoamatsukami. At that time, the Third Hokage and Danzo were too wary of him, or rather, of the Uchiha clan other than Shisui, which led to his current opportunity to control this old man who had ruled Konoha for decades.

At that moment, the Third Hokage asked directly, "What do you need me to do? Do you want the Uchiha clan to return and take control of Konoha?"

Uchiha Kakuzan shook his head upon hearing the Third Hokage's words. He had finally found a place for the Uchiha clan that was even safer than Konoha Village. How could he possibly let them come back? What would they come back for? To prepare for that 'Super Shinra Tensei' in a few years?

Moreover, he has only controlled the Third Hokage for now. Don't forget, Konoha Village has many ninja clans, large and small. Although the Uchiha clan currently has the support of the Third Hokage (and may also have the support of Danzo Shimura later), if the Uchiha clan were to take control of Konoha Village, who knows how much trouble they might cause.

It would be better to let the Third Hokage control Konoha and secretly use the village's resources to support the Uchiha clan. This way, the Uchiha clan wouldn't be dragged into Konoha's quagmire, and their rapid development could continue.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Kakuyama didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "Third Hokage, I have long yearned to see the Book of Sealing in the village. Of course, I also need to trouble the Third Hokage to get me a copy of the ninjutsu and secret techniques recorded in our village."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, the Third Hokage nodded without saying anything. He turned and left, entering the secret chamber behind him. After a while, the Third Hokage emerged carrying a large scroll with the words "Book of Sealing" written on it.

The Third Hokage handed the large scroll directly to Uchiha Kakuzan, saying, "I knew you'd want the 'Book of Sealing.' Don't worry, I've cleared away all the traps inside. It won't harm you or self-destruct. Do you want to look at it here, or take it back? If you take it back, you'd better be careful not to let anyone find it. After all, the 'Book of Sealing' is too important to our Konoha Village. If the villagers find it in your hands, they might suspect me, and then it will be difficult to deal with."

Uchiha Kakuyama accepted the 'Book of Sealing' handed to him by the Third Hokage and replied nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Third Hokage, I won't take it back. As you know, once our Uchiha clan's Sharingan reaches the three-tomoe stage, the contents of this 'Book of Sealing' will soon be memorized."

As Uchiha Kakuyama spoke, he opened the Book of Seals, activated his Sharingan, and began copying.

Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Summoning Technique - Impure World Reincarnation, Eight Gates Formation, Mutual Explosion Tags, Reaper Death Seal, Four Symbols Seal, Flying Thunder God Technique, and so on, were all copied into Uchiha Kakuzan's mind using his Sharingan.

As Uchiha Kakuzan copied the contents of the 'Book of Sealing', he thought to himself, "Just for the contents of this 'Book of Sealing,' it would be worth it to control the Third Hokage today. In just this short while, I've already made my money back."

For a moment, the Hokage's office fell silent, with only the sound of the Third Hokage smoking and Uchiha Kakuzan flipping through scrolls echoing in the space.

Chapter 62 Controlling Shimura Danzo

Chapter Sixty-Two: Controlling Shimura Danzo

By the time the Third Hokage finished his pipe, Uchiha Kakuzan had already copied the contents of the Scroll of Seals into his mind, waiting to study it slowly later.

Uchiha Kakuzan rolled up the Scroll of Seals again and returned it to the Third Hokage. The Third Hokage didn't say anything, but simply took the scroll and put it back in the secret room behind him.

When the Third Hokage came out, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "Third Hokage, please make a copy of all the information on Konoha's ninjutsu and secret techniques, and then give it to me."

The Third Hokage gave Uchiha Kakuyama a deep look and replied, "I will handle this matter well, don't worry."

Then Uchiha Kakuzan talked with the Third Hokage about the secrets and situation of Konoha Village. Without wasting too much time, the Third Hokage removed the previous barrier.

After the barrier was removed, Uchiha Kakuyama paused, looked at the Third Hokage's aged face, and said, "Finally, please, Third Hokage, invite Advisor Shimura Danzo over."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, the Third Hokage's already aged face seemed to age even more in an instant. He remained silent for a moment, a rare occurrence, before finally saying in a hoarse voice, "Alright, I will summon Danzo right away."

After saying that, the Third Hokage found a rope somewhere and gently pulled it. After a short while, an unfamiliar Uchiha Kakuyama, dressed like an Anbu member, appeared and used the Body Flicker Technique to arrive in front of the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage looked at the person in front of him and ordered, "Go and invite Danzo here. I have something to discuss with him."

The secret agents left without a word, using the Body Flicker Technique.

After the Third Hokage saw him leave, he explained to Uchiha Kakuzan, "This is my trusted confidant. He is the one who went to invite Danzo, and Danzo will come over as quickly as possible."

Then he asked, "Qiu Shan, are you planning to control Danzo in the same way you controlled me?"

Uchiha Kakuzan didn't hide anything from the Third Hokage and nodded, "That's right, Danzo is too much of a threat to me. As you know, Danzo has always been hostile to our Uchiha clan. I don't trust him to hide in the shadows and cause trouble."

The Third Hokage knew his old friend's personality well, and was somewhat embarrassed by Uchiha Kakuzan's words. However, for his old buddy's sake, he still mustered up the courage to say:

"Although Danzo has done many wrong things, and Shisui's actions were also wrong, for my sake, Qiushan, could you consider sparing his life? Besides, he is still useful; he can manage Root and gather intelligence for you."

Uchiha Kakuzan was not surprised to hear the Third Hokage's words. After all, he had always heard about the bond between the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzo. If it weren't for the Third Hokage's indulgence, Shimura Danzo would not have been so unscrupulous and lawless.

Uchiha Kakuyama gave the Third Hokage a deep look and replied, seemingly unrelated to the question, "Third Hokage, I actually think that sometimes, Shimura Danzo is more suitable for the position of Hokage than you."

As for the fate of Shimura Danzo, Uchiha Kakuzan would certainly not agree to the Third Hokage's request. After all, Shimura Danzo had done too many bad things, and he could not protect someone who had committed so many evil deeds. As for his life or death, let fate decide.

The Third Hokage fell silent upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words. He was aware of his own shortcomings; as he grew older, his temperament became increasingly weak, which was not a good thing for a leader.

For a moment, silence fell over the Hokage's office; no one had the desire to speak.

. . . . . .

Uchiha Kakuyama waited a while longer, estimating that Shimura Danzo was about to arrive, and then hid in a secluded place.

Because his eye technique 'Kotoamatsukami' has been enhanced, he no longer needs to look into the eyes of the target. As long as he is in a corner where he can see the target and is not too far away, his eye technique 'Kotoamatsukami' can still work.

The Third Hokage sat behind his desk, silently smoking. He really didn't want Shimura Danzo to be controlled by Uchiha Kakuzan, but he also knew that he had no way to refuse Uchiha Kakuzan's demands.

After hiding in a corner for a while, Uchiha Kakuyama heard footsteps approaching from afar, slowly getting closer to the Hokage's office.

Without any hesitation, the door to the Hokage's office was pushed open and someone entered—it was Shimura Danzo.

Since the Third Hokage was also an old friend of Danzo, Shimura Danzo was completely unprepared and brazenly walked up to the Third Hokage's desk.

When Shimura Danzo arrived at the office and found no one else there, he went straight to the point: "Hiruzen, what's the matter that you called me here in such a hurry? As you know, it's not convenient for me to show myself right now, and I'm currently looking through the information Tobirama-sensei left me, trying to see if there's any way to deal with that evil Uchiha clan member, Uchiha Okayama..."

While the Third Hokage was talking to Shimura Danzo, Uchiha Kakuzan, who was hiding in the shadows, had already activated his Sharingan. After careful observation, he confirmed that the person standing in front of the Hokage's desk was neither a shadow clone nor had he used the Transformation Jutsu.

Therefore, there is a 90% chance that the person in front of you is Shimura Danzo himself.

Without hesitation, Uchiha Kakuzan activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and immediately used the eye technique 'Kotoamatsukami' on Shimura Danzo.

Uchiha Kakuzan's Mangekyou Sharingan spun faster and faster, focusing its gaze on Shimura Danzo.

Eye Technique 'Kotoamatsukami' activated.

Just like when he controlled the Third Hokage, an unknown force, unnoticed by anyone, silently invaded Shimura Danzo's brain, changing his thoughts and will. From then on, the Shadow of Konoha, the leader of Root, obeyed Uchiha Kakuzan's orders without question. His orders were Shimura Danzo's highest command.

Like the Third Hokage, Uchiha Kakuzan felt no significant resistance when controlling Danzo; the man before him was easily subdued. This is the fundamental reason why 'Kotoamatsukami' is considered the 'strongest genjutsu'.

Just then, Shimura Danzo, who was standing in front of the Hokage's desk, suddenly fell silent and stared at the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen. Uchiha Kakuzan knew that Kotoamatsukami had successfully controlled Danzo, so he slowly walked out from the corner.

Chapter 63 Medicine Master No Naiyu

Chapter Sixty-Three: Yakushi Nonou

Since Uchiha Okayama Mishimura Danzo had already been controlled by 'Kotoamatsukami', he no longer hid in the corner and slowly walked out.

Originally facing away from Uchiha Kakuyama, Shimura Danzo turned around alertly when he heard footsteps approaching from behind. Upon seeing that it was Uchiha Kakuyama, the hostility and prejudice he once held for the Uchiha clan vanished from Shimura Danzo's eyes. Instead, his eyes were filled with fervor, as if he had finally found the meaning of his life's pursuit.

Upon seeing that the person behind him was Uchiha Kakuzan, Shimura Danzo immediately knelt down on one knee, his right hand on his chest, as if he himself were Uchiha Kakuzan's subordinate. His tone was respectful yet fervent: "Shimura Danzo greets Lord Kakuzan. I was wrong before, please forgive me. If you are not satisfied with me, I will immediately go to the Hokage Rock and commit suicide without causing you any trouble."

Shimura Danzo paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, if you, sir, are magnanimous and spare my life, Shimura Danzo will serve you with all his heart and soul, even unto death."

Seeing Shimura Danzo's respectful and fanatical attitude, Uchiha Kakuzan knew that even if he asked Shimura Danzo to commit suicide right now, he would do so without hesitation.

Looking at Shimura Danzo kneeling on the ground, Uchiha Kakuzan nodded in satisfaction. 'Kotoamatsukami' was indeed that powerful, easily making these two people with the strength of a beginner Kage take his orders as their duty.

When I controlled the Third Hokage before, out of respect for the old man, I didn't control him like a subordinate. I treated him as an equal. Of course, my orders were absolute. Even with respect for the Third Hokage, I couldn't allow him any room to disobey my orders.

As for Shimura Danzo, Uchiha Kakuzan, having always had a bad impression of him, didn't hold back and directly used "Kotoamatsukami" to control Shimura Danzo and make him his subordinate, even the lowest-ranking one.
