Danzo issued orders to the Root ninja who had survived Shisui Uchiha's [Susanoo: Ninety-Nine] attack, instructing them to pursue Shisui Uchiha.
Just as Danzo turned to leave, his pupils suddenly constricted.
Right in front of him stood Chinya.
Danzo asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"
Chinya glanced left and right. "This isn't some restricted area, is it? Doesn't seem like it."
He looked at Danzo's right hand. "Not bad. You managed to obtain a Mangekyō Sharingan."
Danzo instinctively pulled his right hand back.
His right eye's Sharingan had gone blind from using Izanagi, meaning he could no longer activate Izanagi.
If Chinya decided to go after the Sharingan, Danzo might not be able to hold onto it.
Danzo subtly shifted his feet backward.
At the first sign of Chinya attempting to snatch the Sharingan, he would immediately retreat.
Chinya sneered. "No need to fear me so much. You're known across Konoha as 'Ninja no Yami (Shadow of the Ninja),' leader of Root Division. No reason to act so cowardly—it's beneath you.
Besides, this is just an ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan. I'm not interested in it, so you don't have to worry about me trying to take it from you. I'm merely here for entertainment. And you, unfortunately, haven't improved one bit since we last met. Well, actually, that makes sense—if you had really gotten stronger, you wouldn't be stooping this low.
I appeared before you simply to scare you a little, and your reaction was exactly what I expected."
After chuckling mockingly twice, Chinya turned and began to walk away.
Danzo glared at Chinya's retreating figure, his expression darkening rapidly.
However...
Danzo became certain that Chinya must not know about the abilities of Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan.
If Chinya truly understood its power, there was no way he'd simply walk away.
Without hesitation, Danzo reached up and tore out his already-blinded Mangekyō Sharingan from his right eye socket, then directly implanted the newly-acquired Mangekyō Sharingan belonging to Shisui Uchiha into his own eye socket. He quickly applied Medical Ninjutsu to stabilize the implant.
"Hey! Chinya!"
Chinya stopped walking but kept his back toward Danzo.
Danzo sneered, "Looks like the only one who hasn't improved is you... You think you control everything, but you have no clue that death is already breathing down your neck."
As Chinya turned around, the greed shining clearly in Danzo's eyes became unmistakable.
"Submit to my will—become my servant forever, Chinya!"
[Kotoamatsukami!]
Without hesitation, Danzo activated the power of Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan in his right eye, attempting to control Chinya.
Immediately after casting Kotoamatsukami, Chinya paused slightly, his head dipping downward slightly.
Seeing Chinya in this state, Danzo clutched his forehead while laughing maniacally.
"Hahahaha! What's strength worth if you end up on your knees like a dog? Don't worry, Chinya—I'll make full use of you. I'll use your strength to wipe out the entire Uchiha Clan, and then I'll step onto the Hokage throne myself! Hahahaha..."
"You're too noisy."
The laughter abruptly died in Danzo's throat. Staring at Chinya in disbelief, he whispered, "Why?"
"Isn't Shisui Uchiha's dōjutsu the ability to manipulate the opponent's will?!"
Chinya slowly lifted his gaze, a smirk twisting across his face. His two Mangekyō Sharingan stared mockingly at Danzō. "Hmph, I was just messing with you, fool. Did you really believe Kotoamatsukami could control me?
Shisui Uchiha's dōjutsu Kotoamatsukami truly can alter one's will. I've known about the power of Shisui's Mangekyō for a long time already. Can you guess why I didn't destroy his Sharingan even though I knew all along?"
Danzō struggled to speak: "Your dōjutsu..."
Chinya sneered coldly, "That's right. You should already know the effect of my Dojutsu Wanju. Kotoamatsukami is useless against me. However, judging from your reaction earlier, it wasn't because you truly grasped the power of my Dojutsu Wanju that you dared to ambush me."
Danzō's face darkened dramatically. "You deliberately appeared before me and provoked me—you were trying to lure me into using Kotoamatsukami on you?!"
Chinya clapped mockingly. "Seems you're not completely hopeless after all. Though not stupid beyond salvation, you're still just an idiot. I told you—I was merely playing with a fool, yet you actually fell for it.
I wanted to bait you into activating Kotoamatsukami. This eye now requires over a decade to recover before this dōjutsu can be used again, so any plans you had for manipulating events with this eye are impossible now.
But still, even when its cooldown ends in ten years, it would remain troublesome. Might as well destroy it completely."
Chinya began walking toward Danzō.
Seeing this, Danzō immediately tried to escape.
However, there was no way Danzō could outrun Chinya.
Chinya easily caught up with him.
Knowing Chinya had activated his Dojutsu Wanju, making any ninjutsu ineffective, Danzō pulled out a kunai, determined to fight Chinya in taijutsu combat.
However, Chinya excelled at close combat too. He quickly grabbed Danzō's right arm first, forcefully twisting it until the limb snapped, bone piercing through skin.
Danzō gritted his teeth and bore the pain of his broken arm silently, attempting to counterattack—but Chinya seized his head again and smashed it violently into the ground.
The ground beneath them exploded into cracks from the sheer force of the blow.
Danzō's consciousness started fading.
"Don't dare pass out on me, Danzō," Chinya warned.
His fingers already resting on Danzō's right eye socket, he continued, "I want you watching clearly as I destroy the Mangekyō Sharingan you stole from Shisui Uchiha."
Chinya tore out Danzō's right eye. This time, Danzō couldn't suppress the agony and cried out in pain.
Then Chinya pried open Danzō's tightly shut left eyelid, forcing him to witness, before crushing Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan in his palm.
Helplessly, Danzō watched as the precious Mangekyō he'd finally obtained was crushed by Chinya. His left eye swelled with bloodshot veins, glowing crimson with pure hatred.
"Angry, huh? That's about all you're good for now. Like a rotten rat buried in filth, you deserve nothing more than the gutter. Now's the perfect chance—everyone in Konoha, including Hiruzen Sarutobi, probably have forgotten who exactly I am. Perfect timing to remind these fools."
Chinya seized Danzo by the head like a limp rag doll, slowly dragging him toward Konoha Street.
The villagers on Konoha Street watched in silence as Chinya dragged Danzo—who looked barely alive—across the ground, too afraid to so much as draw a breath.
The ninja who recognized Danzo wore horrified looks and fled the scene immediately, some already running off to warn Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Still waiting for news of Shisui Uchiha inside the Hokage Tower, Hiruzen Sarutobi shot up from his chair in shock upon hearing that Chinya was dragging Danzo through the village.
Once he confirmed that it was true, Hiruzen quickly assembled a squad of Anbu and rushed toward Chinya's location.
