This Danzo Is Weird!

Chapter 78: 78. The Rise of Shisui



The battle between both sides was on the verge of erupting.

Chiyo's puppets, Shisui's colossal Susanoo, Rasa's surging waves of gold dust, Minato's Flying Thunder God—

The rapid exchanges between these titans left ordinary shinobi completely unable to participate.

Unlike the battlefield, which was ablaze with combat, Shizune was working tirelessly to perform medical ninjutsu.

She could swear—in all her years as a medical ninja, she had never been this nervous.

And it wasn't just her.

Even Tsunade, despite her severe hemophobia, had turned her back to the fight and moved to Danzo's side, ready to intervene and guide the surgery if any complications arose.

There were very few people in the entire ninja world who could command this level of attention from Tsunade.

Aside from his high-ranking status and the potential chaos his death could bring to Konoha, what truly made Tsunade take him seriously was his performance in this war.

Danzo had perfectly embodied the image of a true leader.

Unyielding. Relentless. Resolute.

Never cowardly. Never compromising.

Of course, this type of hardline leadership often came with one major flaw—

A willingness to sacrifice anything and anyone for victory, including his own men.

But when such a leader was willing to put his own life on the line for the next generation, that flaw ceased to be a flaw.

For the vast majority of shinobi, death was not the thing they feared most—

What they feared was a leader who feared death.

If even their leader was willing to die without hesitation, then what was there for them to be afraid of?

This was the fundamental logic of the lower-ranking ninja.

And that was why Tsunade's view of Danzo had changed.

Yes, he was arrogant, ruthless, infamous, and his sins were countless…

But on the battlefield—he was not afraid to die.

And that alone set him apart from the many paper-pushing strategists who only knew how to talk big.

"Wait… what is this…?"

As Shizune cut open Danzo's shirt, her eyes widened in shock.

His chest and abdomen had no visible wounds—only old scars from past battles.

"What's wrong, Shizune?"

Hearing the commotion, Tsunade turned her attention to her.

Shizune hesitated before replying, "Lord Danzo… doesn't seem to have any injuries."

"What?"

Tsunade immediately turned around.

No injuries?

Then why had Shisui reacted so intensely?

Why had he awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan if Danzo wasn't even hurt?!

Tsunade focused her gaze, and sure enough—Danzo had no visible injuries at all!

"Danzo… you're fine?"

Her eyes narrowed as her tone shifted from uncertainty to certainty.

Hearing this, Danzo slowly opened his eyes.

"Oh, it's you, Tsunade. My apologies for making you worry. I am indeed fine."

He slowly sat up, adjusting the clothes that Shizune had cut open.

But Tsunade was not about to let him off so easily.

She pressed him further, "I saw you suffer serious injuries with my own eyes. How are you unharmed?"

Danzo covered his mouth, letting out a soft cough, his expression remaining calm and composed.

"This is merely an old man's little trick… a slight illusion, if you will. You could think of it as a secret technique."

"Oh? I never knew Konoha had such a secret technique."

Tsunade's eyes were filled with doubt, making it clear she didn't believe a single word her master's junior had just said.

Danzo seemed to be in a surprisingly good mood, letting out a rare chuckle.

"That's a question you should ask your great-uncle. But no matter how you look at it, miracles like this always come with a heavy price."

Hearing "great-uncle," Tsunade fell silent.

As the granddaughter of the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama, she had grown up hearing countless stories about her great-uncle, Senju Tobirama.

Hashirama had even warned her specifically—

"Never learn your great-uncle's forbidden techniques."

And as the inheritor of the Second Hokage's darker legacy, it was no surprise that Danzo knew some special forbidden jutsu.

That made sense.

But it raised another question—

"So you deliberately took that attack to push Shisui to awaken his power?"

Tsunade didn't hold back, getting straight to the point.

Danzo shook his head slightly.

"Yes and no."

"I do admire Shisui, but even without this jutsu, I would have protected him."

"Of course, if this incident also helps him grow stronger, then all the better."

Danzo looked at Shisui, who was dominating the battlefield, his face full of satisfaction.

There was a strong sense of pride, like a father watching his son mature.

After all, how many shinobi in the world could go head-to-head with the Kazekage at Shisui's age?

Tsunade, however, let out a meaningful scoff.

"Awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan isn't necessarily a good thing."

Danzo understood exactly what she meant.

With Shisui's Mangekyō now awakened and exposed, the village elders' fear of the Uchiha would only deepen.

And the awakening itself would likely bring changes to Shisui's personality.

But Danzo was confident as he reassured her:

"Don't worry. I won't let Kagami Uchiha's descendant meet a bad end."

As soon as he said this, Danzo suddenly fell silent.

Not because of doubt—

But because of excitement.

Because…

He hit the jackpot again!

---

"Detected strong gratitude from Uchiha Shisui!"

"Obtained exclusive skill point (Fire Release) ×1."

"Drawing skill package…"

"Congratulations! Obtained Skill Package: Mangekyō Sharingan (S-)."

---

Another Mangekyō!

Danzo rubbed his eye, and an identical Mangekyō Sharingan to Shisui's appeared in his left eye.

One moment he used Izanagi and lost an eye…

The next moment, he upgraded his regular Sharingan into a Mangekyō!

Absolute profit!

The only regret was that, just like with Fugaku's Mangekyō, he didn't immediately gain a unique dojutsu ability.

It seemed he either needed to upgrade it with skill points or draw another reward from Shisui or Fugaku.

But that wasn't the only reward Danzo received.

Another came from… Tsunade.

---

"Detected respect from Tsunade!"

"Obtained Skill Point ×1."

"Drawing skill package…"

"Congratulations! Obtained Skill Package: Chakra Enhanced Strength (B)."

---

Danzo felt a surge of Yang Release chakra flow through him.

At the same time, he instinctively grasped the seals and techniques required to perform Chakra Enhanced Strength.

He couldn't help but marvel to himself:

"Even Tsunade has been won over by my charisma!"

Back to the Battlefield

Feeling the surging power in his eyes, Danzo slowly shifted his gaze to the intense battlefield.

"Let me be the one to put an end to this farce!"

A terrifying battle aura erupted from him.

But just as he was about to step in—

Rasa suddenly swung his arm.

A massive wall of gold dust rose up, separating Shisui and Minato from the rest of the battlefield.

Then, Rasa and Chiyo leapt onto a floating cloud of gold dust, retreating at full speed into the distance.

As for the other Suna shinobi?

They had already scattered and fled during the heated battle between Rasa, Chiyo, Shisui, and Minato…
