Chapter 41: The Surface Cuteness is Spicy!
The ability of Kotoamatsukami's ocular technique could be said to be the most perverted among all perverted abilities!
It possessed the power to subtly and permanently alter another person's will!
This was equivalent to the fact that once someone fell under this technique, what happened to that person was entirely up to you. Even a chaste and virtuous woman would become...
But unfortunately, for such a long time, Danzo had never been able to achieve complete compatibility with this eye. If forcibly activated, even he didn't know the extent of backlash he would suffer.
That's why he hadn't directly used Kotoamatsukami to control Itachi's powerful combat strength when negotiating with Itachi previously.
Because he wasn't absolutely certain!
The reason was that Danzo had learned from Sarutobi Hiruzen's ANBU that Itachi's strength had reached at least Kage level. Otherwise, he wouldn't have approached Itachi and asked him to complete the task of clan extermination.
Only he could accomplish such a disgraceful deed!
Of course, there was another possibility—Danzo had always maintained a particular mentality: he must save his trump cards for the final moment!
Especially this precious technique! Perhaps this was the mentality of most elderly people—conservative and resolute. Their age prevented them from gambling.
Now~
The corners of Danzo's mouth curved upward slightly in an otherwise expressionless manner.
The good-looking girl his subordinate had just mentioned suddenly made him realize—if he could make use of her, he could use her to bind Uchiha Sasuke and form a bond, or even...
Wasn't that exactly how Itachi operated?
This was a man who could destroy an entire clan for his younger brother, possessing extreme power and potential in terms of both strength and capability!
It was hard not to be tempted!
Danzo had even thought through how to mold Uchiha Sasuke into his ideal shape at this very moment...
Then use this as leverage to make Itachi work for him externally.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt very pleased.
At that moment, from an entrance to Danzo's lair, three Root members approached Danzo with a blindfolded, crying little blonde girl.
"Waaah~ let me go!"
"What are you going to do? Why are you covering my eyes! Let me go..."
Hearing the sound, Danzo's attention was immediately drawn.
"Hey, don't struggle. Please calm down for a moment. You'll be fine soon."
The guard gripped the arm of Naruto, who had transformed into Naruko, while beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He was afraid the little girl would move around again. If the boss became displeased, his position guarding the entrance barrier would definitely be ruined.
Maybe you couldn't find such a relaxing job in all of Konoha—with high salary equivalent to C-rank missions, and most importantly, with breaks!
This kind of excellent job was truly... for a ten-thousand-year genin like him...
"Very good, I finally got in!"
After realizing she'd entered a place with a somewhat different atmosphere, Naruko thought internally.
Sure enough, even low-ranking people couldn't resist a truly cute child, let alone a child from their own village.
According to Naruto's perception, on the elevated platform not far ahead, there was an existence whose chakra was much richer than the others. At this level, it was definitely Shimura Danzo himself!
"Tap!"
Danzo tapped the ground with his cane, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
Raising his hand slightly, the guard immediately understood and removed the cloth from Naruko's eyes.
Then he and his two companions took several steps back and stood still.
Naruko, whose eyes regained sight, suddenly pretended to panic and looked around, appearing exactly like a pitiful little girl who'd just gotten lost.
"Oh? This..."
Danzo took a closer look. Second Hokage above!
It was truly incredible. To be honest, he'd never seen such a child in his life. It was genuinely strange. When did Konoha have such a beauty?
This also made him more convinced that his method of cultivating Sasuke could be implemented!
It was just this girl's identity—it would be best if she were an orphan. Otherwise, he could only...
Now Naruto was still somewhat nervous, because according to the timeline, Danzo—that old bastard who'd obtained Kotoamatsukami—must have also learned Izanagi, which could be seen from his right arm covered with bandages.
So the eye-snatching plan later must succeed with one strike!
If he made a mistake and allowed Danzo to activate Izanagi, it might turn into a prolonged battle. At that point, he'd definitely be besieged by everyone, because even with his current strength, he genuinely had no confidence he could frontally face the combat power of the entire Konoha Ninja Village.
Not to mention the major families and the large number of civilian ninja—there was Danzo's Kotoamatsukami, that old dog Sarutobi Hiruzen's Reaper Death Seal, the mentally ill Itachi, or Obito hiding in the darkness who wanted to destroy the world because of puppy love gone wrong...
Every single one of them was simply too much when you listed them out!
Among them, what worried Naruto most was that there existed someone in Konoha who could kill a Six Paths-level powerhouse with one kick—the Azure Beast...
Therefore, revolution still required diligent effort. Silently becoming strong enough to kill a Six Paths being with one punch was the true bright path forward!
If he'd really obeyed Kurama's advice, it was very likely that by this time next year, the grass on Naruto's grave would be as tall as Tsunade's chest.
Of course, the Nine-Tails definitely wouldn't understand this kind of thing. If it did, it wouldn't be sealed in his body.
Furthermore, after the Nine-Tails died, its chakra would automatically gather and passively resurrect. If you died, you were truly dead.
No revival possible!
But... doing something secretly to let Konoha and these upper-echelon bastards experience some payback? That was still no problem!
Danzo was very pleased at this moment. This little girl's appearance and spirit far exceeded his expectations. For a moment, he had the idea of accepting her as his disciple if the child possessed sufficient talent.
No matter where you were, good looks were an advantage.
He immediately looked at Naruko with a kindly smile like a benevolent old man and said in a gentle tone: "Are you lost, little girl~?"
Hearing this, Naruto's soul seemed to experience tremendous shock.
This is Danzo?
Are you sure this isn't some kind old grandfather?
But the darkest ninja in the ninja world?
The suddenly harmonious words almost made Naruto rush forward and punch that disgusting face hard!
If Naruto hadn't known who Danzo truly was, he might have been deceived. Sure enough, ginger was truly old and spicy (▼皿▼#)!
But the most important thing right now was maintaining her current character. She was currently a weak little girl.
Because it was still somewhat far from Danzo, she needed to use lightning speed to snatch Danzo's eyeball.
The girl in the dress shed two crystal tears and choked with sobs, calling out: "Oji-san, I... I, where are we? I want to go out... waaah..."
The sound was beautiful and resonant, spreading directly throughout the entire Root base.
