Mizukage Building, Kirigakure
The Shinobi––delivering the parchment to the Mizukage Building quickly arrived at Mizukage’s office at the fastest speed and presented the information urgently sent by the Kirigakure shinobi lurking in the main continent.
Mei opened the parchment and found it empty, but her expression did not change, she quickly took out some kind of liquid from one of the drawers of her desk and brushed it on both sides of the parchment.
After that, as she put the parchment over the candle flame, text appeared on the parchment. She glanced at it briefly and as soon as she did, her expression turned aghast, and she quickly ordered Aō who was looking through some scrolls not too far away, “Quickly, gather up all our best men… We have to immediately rush to the Toto Islands!”
Aō was taken aback by Mei’s sudden instruction, and asked with a doubtful expression, “What happened?!”
As Mei rushed towards the gate of her office, she left the parchment on Aō’s table and instructed, “See for it yourself!”
Aō picked up the parchment with a doubtful expression and as he read the information on the parchment, his reaction wasn’t any different from Mei’s, “You can’t be serious, if this is all true then…!”
Mei spoke in frustration, “Nearly defeating the Six Paths of Pain, slaughtering hundreds of Kusagakure shinobi, and defeating the AB combination of Kumogakure with ease! He has become an outright monster! Our source says that in addition to the five Kekkei Genkai that he absorbed through the ritual, he possesses both Uchiha’s Mangekyō Sharingan and Shodaime Hokage’s Wood Release… I am afraid his intention about urgently wanting to see Yagura-sama and telling him something extremely important information was just an act; his intentions are something else entirely!”
Aō nodded, “Noriko… no… it’s better to call him Shimura Danzō at this point… he can’t be allowed to succeed, because it would mean disaster for Kirigakure!”
After gathering up their men in a hurry, Mei and Aō led them to Toto Island which is only a few hours away, their only hope is to reach that island on time before it’s too late.
…
Underground Room, Toto Island
The darkness of the underground cave did not hinder Danzō’s vision, he glanced at Yagura sitting quietly on a chair as he read some documents, after confirming that the other party was indeed Yondaime Mizukage from the Sanbi’s chakra inside him.
While Danzō was observing the Yondaime Raikage, Yagura suddenly lifted his head and said while looking in the direction of the entrance, “If you are finished confirming that it is indeed me, come inside already…”
“Alright.” Said Danzō as he stepped inside the room.
Observing Danzō as he walked in, Yagura muttered, “It seems that currently, you are Shimura Danzō, not Terumi Noriko.”
Danzō smirked, and said disdainfully, “I don’t know whether to laugh at your foolishness or commend you for your bravery… You should be aware of the fact that I have the Mangekyō Sharingan, yet you took the risk of meeting me alone… no wonder you became Akatsuki Organization’s puppet!”
When he came to Kirigakure; Danzō expected that getting a chance to meet Yagura alone would be very difficult, and there would be a lot of twists and turns, after all, even if ‘Terumi Noriko’ used to be a Kirigakure shinobi at some point in time, he has been absorbed by Shimura Danzō, and even if there are rumors about him having problem in his soul, those are just rumors and unless Kirigakure seniors officials themselves confirms the truth, they won’t allow him to meet the Mizukage.
However, there was no difficulty, and he was able to meet the Mizukage quite easily.
This entire process was so easy that for a moment Danzō even doubted whether this was all real or his hallucination… he even activated his Dōjutsu to verify and found no signs of deceit.
On the other hand, Yagura gave no reply to Danzō’s mockery, instead, as Danzō’s eyes turned scarlet with a complex pattern, he asked doubtfully, “So these are Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan?”
“Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan?!” muttered Danzō in surprise.
Danzō knew for a fact that his Mangekyō Sharingan wasn’t an ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan, however, he did not know that it is called Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, “It turns out these Dōjutsu are called Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan… but how do you know this? And what else do you know about these eyes? Answer me!”
Before Yagura could answer, a voice came from darkness deep inside the room, “Yes, these are Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan…”
It turns out that Yagura didn’t ask ‘So these are Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan?’ from Danzō, rather it was from this person who just revealed their existence.
Seeing that the person was walking outward, Yagura got up, and while respectfully bowing, he asked, “Do you need my help?”
As the person walked closer, their appearance became clear, they were wearing a black cloak with gold threading, the cloak had kanji for ‘Fire’ on the chest part and the kanji symbol of all the chakra natures on the back. The person also donned a fire-patterned mask.
Looking at the person who came out, Danzō was taken aback, “Homusubi?! What the hell are you doing here?”
That’s right, it’s none other than Homusubi who walked out of the shadows, she ignored Danzō’s question and gently instructed Yagura, “No, this battle isn’t for you.”
Yagura nodded, “I understand.” Then he quickly picked up the papers stacked on the table and disappeared with a body flicker.
Seeing that Homusubi ignored him, Danzō shouted, “Don’t ignore me! Answer me, what the hell are you doing here?!”
Homusubi smirked and asked, “Why are you so surprised? Weren’t you trying to meet me for so long? You should be happy; I am finally in front of you! Although, I never expected that this would be the situation in which we will meet… who would have thought that you––who were trying to lure me into your trap––would unknowingly walk straight to Kirigakure.”
Homusubi didn’t lie… She really didn’t expect that Yagura would suddenly send her the message about Danzō coming to Kirigakure and wanting to see him.
But since this happened, Homusubi would naturally not let go of this heaven-sent opportunity, so she instructed Yagura to lure Danzō to an isolated island so that she could safely recover the pair of Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan after killing him.
Hearing Homusubi’s answer, and based on Yagura’s respectful attitude towards her, a realization finally dawned, “It turns out that Amatsukami is controlling Kirigakure from Shadows, and the Mizukage has again become a puppet!”
However, something still bugged Danzō, “How did you people control Karatachi Yagura? I saw with these eyes, that he isn’t being controlled by Genjutsu, there is no foreign chakra in his body other than that of Sanbi’s… so how did you people do it.”
Obviously, Danzō didn’t even consider the possibility that Yagura may have willingly become loyal to Amatsukami. In his opinion, such a possibility is impossible!
Homusubi shrugged, “We have our way of doing things… and since you are going to be a dead man soon enough, there is no reason for you to know about this.”
Danzō chuckled, “Do you think that alone you are capable of killing me?”
Homusubi sighed, “I guess it would be too much to kill you alone…” and added with a smirk, “But who said I am alone?”
As her words fell, two simultaneous sounds of footsteps echoed in the cave. One from the entrance, and the other from the darkness. As the two people walked closer, their appearance became clear, both of them were wearing the same Homusubi outfit.
Looking at the three people, Danzō was stupefied, “Three… three Homusubi?! How… how is this possible? How could there be three of you?!”
Similar to the entire Shinobi World, Danzō also always thought that there were only two Homusubi, one the female Homusubi with Golden Susano’o, and the other the male Homusubi with a blood red Susano’o, who would have thought there would be the third one out there…!
And based on the general convention of Amatsukami, those who can become Homusubi will at least have a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan!
In other words, there are a total of three Uchihas with Mangekyō Sharingan in Amatsukami! If this doesn’t make Danzō feel unbelievable then what else will? For a brief moment, Danzō even thought of the possibility that the entire Uchiha Clan might have submitted to Amatsukami, and they are actively sending their Mangekyō Sharingan awakeners to the Amatsukami!
As he thought more, Danzō’s shock turned into ecstasy, he covered his hands and laughed out, “Hahahahaha… hahahahaha… so that’s it… everything makes sense now… now this is easy… the Uchiha Clan seems to have actively betrayed Konoha and sided with an enemy organization… they must be purged for the sake of Konoha and the Shinobi World that I will unite very soon!”
As he declared this, he removed his hand from his eyes. At the same time, a strange brilliance flashed in them as Susano’o appeared around his body.
Seeing Danzō’s move, Homusubi didn’t bother to waste any time, and she too quickly activated her Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan as Golden Susano’o started to appear around her body too.
As Danzō and female Homusubi manifested their Susano’o, the other two Homusubi also activated their Mangekyō Sharingan and manifested their Susano’o as well!
Seeing Susano’o appearing in the cave one after another, Danzō laughed madly, “Let’s see whose Susano’o is stronger!” immediately a fierce chakra burst out of his body followed by a beast-like roar from his Susano’o that seemed to shake everyone’s soul.
