A single Dance of the Willow left countless wounds on Danzo's body, some of them even fatal.
The heavily wounded Danzo slammed into a nearby wall, looking extremely disheveled, even on the verge of death.
An ordinary person would never survive such a heavy blow.
"The root of Konoha is truly weak. Danzo, you can't bear the darkness of Konoha," Kimimaro mocked.
But in the next moment, the broken Danzo in front of him disappeared, replaced by a full-blooded Danzo.
The difference was that one of the Sharingan on his right arm was closed.
Izanagi!
"What's going on?" Kimimaro pretended to be surprised, his face full of disbelief.
The Gaia Foundation owner's powerful acting skills continued to explode.
Just act it out.
"You're not qualified to know. Just become the sharp sword that cuts through everything for me. It's your honor," Danzo sneered and walked slowly towards Kimimaro.
Footsteps echoed in the empty room, making the atmosphere even more tense.
The momentum climbed.
"You're kidding!"
Danzo enjoyed seeing Kimimaro's frustrated look.
"Resistance is futile."
Danzo got closer and closer to Kimimaro.
"Whether it's futile or not, only I can say!"
With a tap of his foot, Kimimaro rushed towards Danzo again, slashing with his bone sword!
This time, Danzo didn't even dodge, seemingly not worried at all that the incredibly sharp bone sword would hurt him.
And just as the sword was about to fall, Kimimaro's movement suddenly stopped.
It wasn't that he didn't want to cut down, but his movements were restricted.
"What is this?"
Kimimaro's eyes showed fear, as if he really didn't know what was happening.
The next moment, black runes appeared on his body.
Curse Sealing Jutsu!
A type of sealing technique that places sealing runes on the enemy, allowing complete control of their actions.
The moment Danzo grabbed Kimimaro's neck, he placed these sealing runes.
"It's over, little ghost of the Kaguya clan. From now on, your code name in Root will be Bone!"
Looking at Kimimaro, who was completely unable to move, Danzo pulled away the bandage on his right eye, revealing the crimson Sharingan.
The three tomoe spun, quickly forming a four-cornered pinwheel.
Mangekyo Sharingan!
Pupil power released!
The genjutsu is called Kotoamatsukami!
Kimimaro's expression became dull in an instant.
Terrifying pupil power was released from Danzo's eyes, invading Kimimaro's brain nerves through his eyes.
Once this operation was completed, Kimimaro would completely become Danzo's tool.
Once Kotoamatsukami is cast, it needs time to cool down before it can be used again.
Without Hashirama cells, this cooldown time is more than ten years.
But Danzo had Hashirama cells in his body, and he only needed three years to recover his pupil power.
So he was very happy to use this move to subdue a loyal, powerful, and infinitely potential subordinate.
This wasn't the first time he had used Kotoamatsukami, and he knew the benefits very well.
But Danzo's complacency didn't last long before he felt something was wrong.
After his pupil power entered Kimimaro's eyes, it didn't penetrate.
"What's going on?"
Danzo's heart was full of doubts. The next moment, a smile appeared on Kimimaro's originally dull face.
He slowly uttered four words from his mouth.
"Mirror reflection!"
The next moment, his eyes turned into mirror eyes!
The Mirror Clow Card can condense into a mirror.
And this mirror has two functions, one is to reflect the appearance of things, which can be copied.
And the other is reflection!
When the Mirror Clow Card turned into a Byakugan, these two abilities were also retained in the Byakugan.
At this moment, Kimimaro activated this ability, turning his eyes into mirror eyes that could reflect pupil power.
Illusion Clow Card enhancement!
Byakugan pupil power fully output!
The reflective power of the mirror eyes was stimulated to the extreme.
Pretending to be controlled was for this moment!
When Danzo thought victory was in his grasp, he wouldn't waste his Sharingan and activate Izanagi.
After all, this thing, use one, lose one.
Genjutsu reflection!
Danzo only felt that the pupil power he had originally output was strangely bounced back!
"Not good!"
Danzo exclaimed, but it was too late.
The pupil power shot into his right eye, and blood immediately flowed out.
Backlash!
But this wasn't the end.
A right hand was already pressing on his right eye.
"This eye is mine!"
The next moment, Danzo only felt his right eye go dark, leaving only pain.
Shisui, whose Sharingan was taken by him back then, also felt this way.
He immediately stepped back a few steps, covering his right eye with his hand, his face full of pain.
Looking at Kimimaro again, his right hand was grabbing the bloody right eye.
White bones quickly drilled out from his fingertips, forming a white bone bottle. After completely wrapping the Sharingan, Kimimaro put the bone bottle into his ninja tool bag.
"Thank you, Lord Danzo, for the Sharingan."
"You! You were just pretending! No! Impossible! How could you resist Kotoamatsukami!"
The binding force of the Curse Sealing Jutsu was indeed very strong, but Kimimaro was prepared, so how could he be easily trapped?
As soon as the Power Clow Card was activated, the surging power could easily break free from the restraints.
As for Kotoamatsukami, he had already thought of a way to deal with it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have easily taken the risk.
There were three reasons why Kimimaro could resist Kotoamatsukami: First, Danzo's strength was insufficient, and he couldn't push Kotoamatsukami to its extreme.
Second, the existence of the Byakugan and the Illusion Clow Card weakened the power of Kotoamatsukami.
Finally, the mirror reflection in the Byakugan reflected the weakened Kotoamatsukami's pupil power back.
These three points combined were the reason for Danzo's failure.
"You're not qualified to know."
Returning Danzo's words to him, Kimimaro felt a sense of clarity in his heart.
"Arrogant kid, don't think you can defeat me like this!"
Danzo felt a surge of anger at being calculated.
"This Kaguya kid obviously knows about Izanagi, otherwise, he wouldn't have set such a battle plan.
And all of this must have been told to this kid by Orochimaru. Damn Orochimaru, actually plotting against me here!
That strange eye that could reflect Kotoamatsukami just now must also be a technique that Orochimaru had prepared long ago. He had already guessed that I would be interested in this Kaguya kid!
Why would he do that? Could it be that he's after Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan? Yes, that must be it!
Even if he takes over Sasuke's body, he may not be able to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan with Sasuke's body. He wants to use Shisui's eyes as a backup!
Damn it! I still wasn't cautious enough against Orochimaru! This person is simply full of wolfish ambitions!"
Countless thoughts flashed through Danzo's mind, and in the end, he attributed everything to Orochimaru.
Besides Orochimaru, he couldn't think of a better reason to explain what was happening in front of him.
All his anger finally boiled down to eight words.
"Orochimaru, you bastard!"
