Ch. 88. Danzo is confused. [1]

Danzo asked calmly, without much reaction:

- "Mizuki refused to come to see me and attacked you with genjutsu?"

- "In that case, I will go see him in person."

His right eye was already hungry and thirsty.

　　In Danzo's view, the [Kotoamatsukami] are a force that can cause war, and he regards them as treasures and will not use them easily.

　　At the beginning, Shisui had planned to use [Kotoamatsukami] to modify the will of the top leaders of the Uchiha clan so that the Uchiha clan would give up the coup.

　　At that time, Danzo said:

- "You actually want to use such precious power to prevent a mere coup, Shisui?"

A mere coup was not worth mentioning in Danzo's eyes, and there was no need to use [Kotoamatsukami] at all.

　　But now, [Kotoamatsukami] can help him become Godaime, so that's another matter.

　　Control Mizuki and kill Sandaime during the Chunin Exam.

　　Or wait for Sandaime to be killed by Orochimaru, and then let Mizuki wreak havoc on Konoha.

　　All in all, let Mizuki become a person who commits heinous crimes and is extremely hated by the villagers.

　　Then he appeared on the stage, killed Mizuki, and saved the village from danger.

　　At that time, with great achievements and prestige, Godaime will definitely belong to him.

　　Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Danzo's usually serious face:

- "Hiruzen, don't blame me!"

- "Only under my leadership can the village grow."

　　He left the ROOT's base with several of his men and headed to the eighth training ground.

　　But before he could reach the entrance of the eighth training ground, he was blocked by Hiruzen:

- "Danzo, I told you not to act without permission."

Hiruzen only thought that Danzo and his men wanted to attack Mizuki, so they immediately came to stop him after discovering it.

　　He felt that Danzo's strength was not enough to kill Mizuki.

　　Even if they are killed, there will be all kinds of rumors in the village, which is not conducive to management.

　　On the occasion of the Chunin Exams and the imminent Crush of Konoha, the village needs to be stable and not cause any trouble.

　　The most important thing is that the third generation already has a safer plan, so what needs to be done now is to stabilize Mizuki, otherwise the plan will fail before it even starts.

　　Danzo explained:

- "Hiruzen, I am not meeting Mizuki to use force. There is no need for you to stop me."

　　Of course Hiruzen didn't believe it and asked:

- "What did you want to see him for?"

　　Of course, Danzo would not tell the truth, but lied:

- "I want to apologize to him for what happened at the meeting that day and see if I can make things right."

- "I am sincere. Maybe I can make him give up his hatred of Konoha. If I give him a big gift, he will definitely come back to his heart."

- "He is not weak. If he can be saved, it will be a great thing for the village."

　　Hiruzen sneered in his heart:

- "Save?"

- "If this were said by someone else, it might be true."

- "But I don't believe a word that comes out of Danzo's mouth."

Hiruzen:

- "Okay, even if you apologize and redeem yourself, I, Hokage, will do it. It's not appropriate for you to go."

- "Turn around immediately. You are not allowed to communicate with Mizuki without my permission."

　　Danzo looked gloomy, wishing he could use [Kotoamatsukami] on Hiruzen.

　　But he can't do that.

　　Don't he dare?

　　of course not!

　　Danzo could even assassinate Sandaime, there was nothing he didn't dare to do.

　　So, it's not that he don't dare, it's that he can't do it.

　　[Kotoamatsukami] are very powerful and are known as "the most powerful genjutsu".

　　You can directly invade the opponent's brain and modify the opponent's will without being discovered by the opponent.

　　Shisui's [Sharingan] transplanted into the Itachi's crow's eye's, with just one glance, covered the [Summoning Technique: Reanimation] with the [Kotoamatsukami], allowing Itachi to get rid of Yakushi Kabuto's control.

　　Only in the hands of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, the [Kotoamatsukami] can be called "the most powerful genjutsu", but in the hands of Danzo, it is extremely weak.

　　Danzo didn't have Uchiha genes, and even after transplanting Shisui's eyes, he still couldn't control him like an arm.

　　«A sword held in a baby's hand has no power to kill the enemy»

　　«It's like throwing pearl into a pig pen.»

　　This is why, for so many years, Danzo has not used [Kotoamatsukami] against Hiruzen in an attempt to seize the position of Hokage.

　　When Itachi uses the [Kotoamatsukami], a single stare will do the trick.

　　It's not that simple if it's Danzo.

　　First, the bandage must be removed, and then the right eye must be stared at Hiruzen for a few seconds before it can take effect.

　　Unless Hiruzen was a fool, he would have noticed Danzo's intentions immediately.

　　After all, Shisui's [Mangekyou Sharingan] has been known to him from Hiruzen.

　　The crime of trying to control Hokage with genjutsu was enough to kill Danzo several times.

　　So the question is, is it okay to secretly use it on Hiruzen without taking off the bandage?

　　No way!

　　Through the gauze, the effect of [Kotoamatsukami] is greatly reduced.

　　In the anime, when the Five Kage Alliance formed an alliance, Danzo used [Kotoamatsukami] on Mifune, the leader of the Iron Country, through gauze, in an attempt to control Mifune to support him in becoming the Leader of the Alliance.

　　As a result, he was discovered and exposed by Ao's [Byakugan], and Danzo was forced to stop.

　　As soon as Danzo stopped, Mifune immediately returned to normal.

　　This shows that the [Kotoamatsukami] at that time only temporarily modified Mifune's will, and it could not take effect permanently.

　　Therefore, in summary, if Danzo wants to use [Kotoamatsukami] to control Hiruzen, he will definitely fail.
