Chapter 279: From Today On, You Are Danzo
Upon seeing the shuriken-like pattern in the Mangekyō Sharingan, despair surfaced on Danzo's face. He knew the power of the Genjutsu Kotoamatsukami, which could quietly alter one's will. He wasn't sure whether his true self would remain after his will was modified.
The only thing he could foresee was that his dream of becoming Hokage was co...

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Danzo’s eyes widened in shock as he fixed his gaze on the young boy standing before him.

In the ninja world, Sharingan genjutsu isn’t considered the most powerful. It can be broken with a simple disturbance in chakra.
But the premise is that external help is needed; otherwise, it is impossible to break the Sharingan genjutsu. This is why the Uchiha clan has always been so strong in one-on-one combat—they are adept at...

Half an hour later, Root leader Danzo and the two elder advisors arrived at the Hokage building.

The Third Hokage nodded and got straight to the point. “Shisui just came to see me and ...
