Chapter 2: A Not So Happy Life
Danzo was the head of the Root division within the Hidden Leaf Village. He was known for his cunning and manipulative ways, always seeking more power and control within the village. Danzo saw himself as the only one capable of leading the Hidden Leaf and making the tough decisions necessary to keep the village safe.
He had a number of underhanded plans in motion, all aimed at consolidating his power and eliminating anyone who posed a threat to his rule. Danzo had spies and agents placed throughout the village, working to gather information and keep tabs on everyone who could potentially oppose him. He caused Hatake Sakumo to suicide, he tried hard to kill Hiruzen, he tried to put Orochimaru to the seat of Hokage, but he still failed. Why couldn't people realize he was doing everything in his power to protect the village? He was the true carrier of Will of Fire, yet, no one could see the spark in him..
One of Danzo's primary targets was Shisui Uchiha, a powerful and talented shinobi from the Uchiha Clan. Shisui was a loyal and dedicated member of the Hidden Leaf, but Danzo saw him as a threat to his own power and influence. He was determined to eliminate Shisui and remove any chance of him becoming a potential rival. He also wanted his eyes for his own machinations.
It was a beautiful sunset, as Danzo stood on top of a tall shrine overlooking the forest. He was there to execute his latest mission, one that would solidify his position as the leader of the Leaf Village. He was there to eliminate Shisui Uchiha, one of the most powerful members of the Uchiha Clan.
Shisui had always been a thorn in Danzo's side, constantly getting stronger that might challenge his authority and question his methods one day. He couldn't be let free. He couldn't grow endlessly. But Danzo was not one to be underestimated, and he had come prepared. He had brought with him a powerful weapon, a cursed seal that would allow him to control Shisui's every move if he managed to apply it.
Shisui was unaware of what was going to happen. Upon being summoned, he went to see the elder of the village in an outlying place far from the village. He walked to the elderly man and started to report. As they were talking, Danzo's aura suddenly changed. Shisui felt something was wrong. Danzo was about to attack.
"I will take that eye!" Danzo said with greed as he reached for Shisui's right eye.
Shisui, on the other hand, was not about to go down without a fight. He stood at the opposite end of the building, his Sharingan blazing with determination.
The two men locked eyes, and for a moment, the only sound was the howl of the wind. Then, without warning, Danzo attacked, launching a barrage of shuriken at Shisui.
Shisui, however, was too quick for Danzo, dodging each attack with ease. He quickly countered with a barrage of fireballs, which Danzo effortlessly deflected with his wind jutsu that deflected the fire attacks. Wind was weak against fire but Danzo was master of his element.
Shisui had been a loyal shinobi of the Uchiha clan for as long as he could remember. He had always been proud to serve the village and the Hokage, but lately he had been feeling a growing sense of unease. He had begun to question his loyalty and wondered if he was making the right choice by putting the village above all else.
One night, as he sat alone in his room, he thought deeply about his life as a shinobi and his place in the world. He realized that he had been manipulated by the old Hokage and the village all along. They had made him believe that his duty was to serve them, but in reality, they were using him for their own purposes.
He thought about his family, the Uchiha clan, and how they had been mistreated by the village. They were his kin, and he should have been helping them instead of serving the village. He realized that the village had not been fair to his clan and that they were not providing them with the resources and support they needed.
Shisui felt a sense of anger and betrayal as he thought about all the years he had devoted to the village and how they had let him and his clan down. He wondered why he should give away his life for a village that couldn't even house his kin.
He made up his mind that he could no longer serve the Hokage or the village. He knew that he had to put his clan first and work towards their betterment. He would no longer let the Hokage or the village manipulate him and he would do everything in his power to help his clan and make their lives better.
Shisui felt a sense of clarity and purpose as he made this decision. He was no longer torn between his loyalty to the village and his duty to his kin. He knew what he had to do and he was ready to face any challenges that lay ahead. He was determined to stand up for his clan and fight for their rights, no matter what it took.
The two continued to trade blows, each trying to gain the upper hand. But it was Shisui who ultimately had the advantage, his Sharingan allowing him to anticipate Danzo's every move.
Just when it seemed as though Shisui was about to deliver the final blow, Danzo revealed his trump card. He activated the cursed seal, attempting to take control of Shisui's mind.
Shisui, however, was ready for this. He activated his ultimate technique, Kotoamatsukami, which would allow him to manipulate the thoughts and actions of his opponent.
Danzo was caught off guard, his body suddenly moving against his will. Shisui had him completely under his control, and he used this opportunity to subjugate Danzo.
For the first time in his life, Danzo was powerless, unable to resist the power of Shisui's technique. Shisui used this opportunity to extract all of Danzo's secrets, and to put an end to his dangerous plans.
"You are under my Kotoamatsukami now! You will serve no one but me!" Shisui hissed. He had enough of the village and elders. "I will be the master of this village and my kin will flourish once again!"
"As you wish, Master." Danzo kneeled on the ground as he said. "All those atrocities you committed. All those people died because of your foolish greed. Even Senju Clan. You should be cut thousands times and killed in humiliation, but I will not let your end be that easy. I will make you serve Uchiha you abhor so much. I will make you cry deep inside but unable to fight back."
"As you wish, Master."
"Kotoamatsukami cannot be used too often. I need to play safe and smart until I have full control over the village. My guess is I can use it every 6 to 10 months. I should be able to control Hiruzen, Minato, the other two fools and some idiots in the clan in two to three years." Shisui said to himself. "This is the only way."
"Talk with Hokage and send me to a top secret mission for two years. I should be required to report every six months and you will bring Hokage and others one by one to me so I can take them under my control as well." Shisui decided in the end.
"As you wish, Master." Danzo reported from where he was kneeling and in the next second he vanished. That night, the council was gathered and after much convincing, others accepted Danzo's wish and Shisui was sent a top secret mission only Danzo knew about but in truth, Shisui was training Itachi the whole time.
As he waited, Danzo began to gather his forces and spy on the Hokage, the two elders, and some of the Uchiha. He knew that he had to be quick, as his new master's will was above everything else.
