The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima [Vol. 02]

Chapter 335 - Danzo's Mistakes

From the moment he saw Danzo, Tobirama's keen eyes, ever vigilant, noticed something off about the man's appearance. His gaze narrowed, focusing on the empty socket where he knew Shisui Uchiha's Sharingan was supposed to be.

"Danzo," Tobirama's voice cut through the silence. He asked with a sharp and demanding tone. "Where is Shisui Uchiha's eye?" He asked again. 'Did you give it to one of your Root ninjas to safeguard it or did something else happen?'

Danzo stiffened, his expression darkening as he was forced to recount the events that had transpired just before Hiruzen's arrival. "It was taken... by a man who called himself 'Dragon.'"

Hiruzen's eyes widened slightly. "Dragon? Who is he? What happened, Danzo?"

The one eyed ninja sighed, his defeat was evident in his voice as he recounted the attack. "He appeared out of nowhere and came straight for Shisui's eye."

The Hokage's eyes widened. "Wait! Then does he know about-"

Danzo nodded. "He knows about Shisui's Mangekyo powers. He said he had plans with the Kotoamatsukami."

At that moment Hiruzen recalled the dead bodies he and his men discovered. "When I entered the building I came across several dead Root ninjas. I'm assuming that's his work."

The former Root commander nodded. "He infiltrated this base with such precision and power that even my most skilled men couldn't stop him. He cut through them like they were nothing. He moved as if he had knowledge of our operations. Like he knew exactly where to strike."

Tobirama's face remained impassive, though a spark of interest lit in his eyes. "Describe him."

Danzo clenched his fists, recalling the encounter. "He wore a dark green cloak, and a mask in the design of a Dragon, his face, chakra signature and scent were hidden and he wasn't ordinary. His strength... it felt like something I haven't encountered before. He could use multiple chakra natures and he moved with the fluidity of a seasoned front line warrior and yet had the precision of an assassin. His techniques were flawless, and his objective was clear. He was after Shisui's Sharingan and something more."

"What else did he take?" Hiruzen asked, his voice edged with concern.

Danzo's jaw tightened as he continued. "He didn't stop at Shisui's eye. He took my right arm. It was embedded with Sharingan. During my fight with him, I had already used three of them for Izanagi. Seven were left... but now they're gone."

"Sharingan arm? What are you talking about?" Hiruzen questioned while the Second Hokage merely stayed silent.

Danzo closed his eyes and sighed. He felt regret at the thought of someone else benefiting at the cost of his hard work and even more at the fact that it could be used against the Leaf village.

'Instead of trying to escape, I should have fought him and used the Reverse Four seal and killed him with me. At least then I could have died with some dignity.'

"Danzo..." Tobirama called his name and it woke the Root leader from his trance. "That right arm—it was no ordinary limb, was it? What exactly had you done to it?"

Hiruzen's attention was immediately drawn to the question, his own curiosity piqued. Though he had always known Danzo to be secretive, the extent of what he had hidden had not been fully revealed until now. He then remembered what his spy had said about Danzo's secret meeting with Orochimaru.

Danzo sighed, knowing there was no point in hiding the truth any longer. He looked between the two Hokage with the expression of resignation. "The arm... it wasn't just a prosthetic. It was a tool, a weapon I had created with the help of Orochimaru's research and the DNA of the First Hokage."
