Naruto: Inheriting the Legacy of a Person Who Traveled Through Time

Chapter 67 Kotoamatsukami, activate!

Disappeared?

The instant Danzo's body disappeared, the ninjas present sensed Danzo's chakra and almost instantly re-locked onto his location.

"Be careful!"

Seeing Danzo's figure appear silently beside the Miracle Master as if by teleportation, Hashirama Senju shouted a warning while clapping his hands together and once again activating his Wood Release to entangle Danzo, attempting to stop his actions.

"Hmph, if it weren't for your appearance, I would have become Hokage long ago. Since you've ruined my plans, then you shall make amends with your loyalty."

At this moment, Danzo's face was contorted with rage. Most strikingly, he had removed the bandage covering his right eye, revealing a scarlet Sharingan with a windmill-like pattern in the center.

Kotoamatsukami, activate!

A beam of light emanated from Danzo's right Mangekyou Sharingan and flashed onto the puppet.

The cunning Danzo understood that once his transplantation of Hashirama's cells and Sharingan was exposed, he would never again be able to obtain the Hokage position through normal means.

Moreover, Danzo knew better than anyone how many heinous things Root had done. Now that it could no longer be concealed, the only way was to flee Konoha and temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack.

Danzo had been in charge of Root for many years. Although he didn't dig up laboratories and bases everywhere like Orochimaru, he still had many backup plans. As long as he could escape Konoha, Danzo felt that he might have a chance to make a comeback.

The only problem is, how can Danzo escape safely? With the Senju brothers' incredible sensory range, even escaping Konoha with the help of Izanagi wouldn't be safe. So, after much deliberation, Danzo resolutely decided to use the miracle worker as his only chance to turn the tide.

As long as the miracle worker is controlled, it's equivalent to being able to foresee everything that will happen in the future. Combined with Izanagi, why would they have to worry about leaving Konoha? In fact, if they seize an opportunity in the future, such as when Konoha faces a major crisis, they might be able to take advantage of the situation and seize the Hokage position by force!

I'm running away now not because I'm afraid of death, but for the ninja world and for Konoha!

Only if I am still alive can I unify the five great nations and end the endless war in this world!

"Take this old man away from here first!"

Driven by Hashirama Senju, the vines had once again wrapped around Danzo. Seeing that the miracle worker wearing the clown mask was motionless and that the Mangekyou Sharingan had entered its cooldown period, Danzo assumed that the "Loyalty to Danzo" effect had been activated and immediately gave the order.

"Pfft—"

The puppet remained motionless, letting out a soft laugh that sounded like a muffled thunderclap to Danzo's ears.

"While this world is known for its legendary eyes, it doesn't mean the Mangekyou Sharingan is that powerful. What gives you the confidence to believe that a mere transplanted Mangekyou Sharingan can control me?"

Just as casting illusions on a shadow clone has no effect, how could casting Kotoamatsukami on a temporarily summoned puppet possibly work? Not to mention, given the slots for Miracle Master seals, even if Danzo's Kotoamatsukami were cast on Tetsuya's main body, it would probably still be difficult to achieve any effect.

Of course, Tetsuya would never risk his life to verify this hypothesis.

Seeing that he had failed to control the miracle worker and had wasted his trump card, Danzo was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. At that moment, his legs tightened as the moving vines wrapped around him, leaving Danzo no time to think. He had no choice but to activate Izanagi again.

Despite being tightly bound by countless vines, Danzo suddenly vanished into thin air, leaving the nearby vines completely empty.

"Is this the effect of Izanagi?"

Danzo's figure had just appeared at the other end of the corridor when he heard Tobirama Senju's voice behind him, causing his pupils to shrink.

Tobirama Senju was seen half-squatting on the ground, his two fingers lightly touching the ground. This was the chakra perception technique he had mastered since childhood, and its range was even greater than Kagura's Mind's Eye.

"teacher----"

Before Danzo could even defend himself, Tobirama snatched the kunai from him with lightning speed. With a flash of cold light, the disgusting arm, transplanted with Sharingan eyes, fell to the ground.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the second Sharingan on his arm suddenly closed, and then, along with Danzo, whose mouth was bleeding, he once again vanished into thin air as a phantom.

"It's no use. No matter how many times you resurrect, you can't escape my control—"

When Danzo's figure reappeared in another location, Tobirama Senju's voice rang in his ears again, like a persistent, inescapable affliction.

Compared to Haruta, who dared to disrupt the Five Kage Summit immediately after acquiring the Mangekyou Sharingan, Tobirama Senju's analytical abilities in combat intelligence were on a completely different level. He didn't need much probing to fully understand the effects of Izanagi. No matter how Danzo tried to activate Izanagi, he couldn't escape Tobirama's control; almost every time he appeared, his arm would be severed, leaving him completely powerless to resist, and he became Tobirama's test subjects for obtaining information about Izanagi.

Damn it, at this rate—even Izanagi won't be able to hold out much longer.

After being resurrected, Danzo looked down at the Sharingan on his arm and found that more than half of them were closed. Fear began to appear in his eyes.

It seems that we have no other choice but to use that trick!

The moment a resolute look flashed in Danzo's eyes, he felt a sharp pain in his neck, and his head had already been severed by Tobirama Senju.

"Even after cutting off the head, it still couldn't stop the effects of Izanagi? The Uchiha clan is truly terrifying."

Seeing Danzo's headless corpse vanish into a phantom once more, Tobirama Senju couldn't help but sigh.

"No, his Izanagi is not perfect, it is far inferior to Madara Uchiha's Izanagi."

At this moment, the light screen had disappeared, and the puppet stood in place watching Tobirama Senju toy with Danzo, when it suddenly interjected.

"Although the effects of Izanagi are the same, the duration of its effect varies greatly depending on who uses it."

The puppet's gaze fell on Hashirama Senju, and it spoke as an example.

"Back then, the First Hokage fought Madara Uchiha at the Valley of the End and ultimately emerged victorious. However, even the Second Hokage, who brought Madara's body back to Konoha afterward, was unaware that before the final battle, Madara had already inscribed the Izanagi technique onto a Sharingan through the Transcription Seal. In this way, he managed to deceive everyone, not only surviving but also stealing the power of the Sage Body and ultimately completing the fusion of the power of all things."

The power of all things in the universe?

What is that?

Having witnessed the Fourth Shinobi World War through the light screen, they naturally saw the strange First Hokage face on Madara Uchiha's chest, and witnessed him unleashing Wood Release that was no less powerful than Hashirama Senju's. They guessed the meaning of the Sage Body's power, but what exactly the power of the myriad phenomena was remained a complete mystery to them.

Judging from the miracle worker's words, it's a power even more powerful than Wood Release?

"See you next time, everyone."

The puppet placed its hand in front of its chest and bowed slightly in greeting. Then its figure gradually faded and finally disappeared.
