This Twisted Sense of Values and Worldview Must Be Corrected! (1/5)

Chapter 304: This Twisted Sense of Values and Worldview Must Be Corrected! (15)

Jiraiya’s appearance undoubtedly gave the Third Hokage, who had already been cornered by Danzō, the illusion that he could turn the tables. He even overlooked the extremely obvious sign of Orochimaru appearing during the Chunin Exam.

As the daimyo, nobles, and wealthy merchants of every nation gathered in Konoha, the old man focused all his attention on displaying the village’s prosperity and strength.

He intended to use this opportunity to erase the negative impact of the Uchiha Clan Downfall and make everyone realize that Konoha was still a powerful ninja village, fully capable of repelling any invading enemy.

It has to be said that he indeed possessed the vision and political skill that most ninjas lacked in domestic affairs and diplomacy.

Otherwise, he would never have rebuilt the village and restored its economy to full prosperity in merely around ten years, after the Nine-Tails’ Rampage had nearly razed the entire village to the ground.

But the Third Hokage had forgotten one thing: the ninja world had always revered strength above all else.

Without military power to match one’s economic strength, even the finest development would be nothing but Kyoka Suigetsu. A single war or surprise attack could easily destroy it all.

On the eve of the Chunin selection finals, Allen finally could no longer suppress his desire for Danzō’s arm implanted with the First Hokage’s Cells, as well as Shisui’s Mangekyo Sharingan. Under cover of darkness, he silently arrived at the Root Organization’s underground base.

Unlike his previous visit, he could clearly sense that the guards had been raised several levels. Even the Barriers that normally remained dormant had all been activated.

There was no doubt about it!

Under Danzō’s orders, the entire Root Organization had completely entered a state of war. Even through their masks, one could sense the faint killing intent inadvertently radiating from these members.

"Tell me. At such a critical time, what important intelligence do you have for coming to see me?" Danzō asked in an exceedingly cold, emotionless tone.

"I obtained all the information on Impure World Reincarnation from Orochimaru!"

Allen unhesitatingly threw out the bait he had prepared in advance.

Just as he had expected, the instant Danzō heard the news, naked and undisguised ecstasy burst from his eyes. He immediately cast aside his two personal guards, strode straight over, and impatiently extended his left hand. "Give it to me! Hand over the information on Impure World Reincarnation."

"Please examine it."

Allen pulled a scroll containing only the records of Impure World Reincarnation from his clothes and presented it with both hands.

"Hahahaha! Good! Very good! You truly have not disappointed me!"

After reading the contents of the scroll, Danzō immediately burst into loud laughter.

At this moment, he was completely captivated by the powerful forbidden technique known as Impure World Reincarnation. He did not notice that, at some point, a strangely shaped cap had appeared atop Allen’s head.

The next second…

Gnomish Mind Control Cap activated!

This "Darkness of the Ninja World" did not even have a chance to react before he was instantly controlled.

Whether it was the arm he had prepared for Izanaqi or the Sharingan belonging to Shisui in his eye socket, neither was of any use now.

Even Izanaqi required the caster to possess the corresponding subjective awareness.

But the Gnomish Mind Control Cap directly controlled the target’s thoughts. Until its effects were lifted, the controlled person would not notice anything wrong.

Thus, under Allen’s control, Danzō waved his hand and drove out the few remaining guards around them.

In just two or three seconds, only two people remained in the gloomy underground chamber.

"This was much easier than I imagined."

Allen smiled as he took back the Impure World Reincarnation scroll from Danzō’s hand. At the same time, he released the Red Dragon, which tore off and swallowed Danzō’s right arm beneath the bandages in a single bite.

The Mangekyo Sharingan in his eye socket was also carefully removed with a Chakra Scalpel and placed into a test tube filled with solution.

By the time he finished all this, Danzō had just broken free from the mind control cap’s influence.

When he discovered that both his right hand and right eye were gone, while Allen now held a Mangekyo Sharingan, he immediately understood what had happened. His face turned so dark it seemed as though water could drip from it, and he gritted his teeth as he demanded, "You betrayed me? Why? Did Orochimaru’s words deceive you?"

"Betrayal?"

Allen slipped the Mangekyo Sharingan into his waist pouch, then lightly shook his head.

"No. You are mistaken.

From the very beginning, I was never loyal to anyone—not you, not the Third Hokage, nor even this village called Konoha.

You were the ones who naively believed that I would be like those foolish people, dedicating my worth and my life for the identity and title of a ninja.

In my eyes, so-called ninjas and ninja villages are merely tools that uphold Decay’s old vested-interest groups, vicious dogs raised by the daimyo and nobles.

Even more laughably, you clearly possess the power to overthrow and even change the entire world, yet you become smug over a bone bestowed by your masters. You even kill one another just to seize that pitiful little bit of power and profit.

How utterly ugly!

This twisted sense of values and worldview must be corrected!"

"Y-you’re insane?"

After hearing those words, an utterly horrified expression immediately appeared on Danzō’s face.

In the eyes of a traditional ninja like him, this could no longer be described as heresy. It was a complete overturning of everything.

An overturning of the Five Great Nations order established by the First Hokage after the end of the Sengoku era!

An overturning of the cooperative system in which daimyo and nobles were responsible for ruling, while ninja villages were responsible for defending the country and launching foreign wars, each performing their own duties!

What he found most incomprehensible was this: without daimyo and nobles, who would rule the country?

And what would become of ninjas and ninja villages?

"Heh, in my view, I am not the insane one. This twisted, diseased world is. Farewell, Danzō."

As the last word was blurted out, Allen vanished from the spot in an instant.

The next second…

He directly blasted apart Danzō’s head, leaving him no chance whatsoever to activate the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique.

To a certain extent, this was one of the advantages brought by knowing the plot and one’s opponent’s abilities.

While other organizations were still desperately trying to gather intelligence on their enemies, Allen already knew what kind of ninjutsu his next target excelled at and what trump cards they possessed.

After killing Danzō, he quickly cleaned the bloodstains from the ground and sealed away the corpse, intending to hand it over to Orochimaru for Impure World Reincarnation.

Once the Konoha Collapse Plan began, the Third Hokage would surely be moved to tears upon seeing his old friend.

Before leaving, Allen also left behind a Shadow Clone transformed into Danzō, ensuring that no one would discover for the time being that the leader of the Root Organization was already dead.

With that, he returned to his residence in satisfaction and silently felt the genes extracted from the First Hokage’s Cells and the large number of Three Tomoe Sharingan enter his body.

In just about half a minute, the Sharingan in his eyes changed from Two Tomoe to Three Tomoe, while the Chakra within his body surged like floodwaters breaking through a dam, instantly increasing severalfold.
