Going after Danzo pt 3 end (fixed)

[Ajamu POV]

After a brief journey through the village, I found myself genuinely intrigued by its culture and people. This world held so much potential for discovery, and my Sharingan would undoubtedly aid in unraveling its mysteries. While following Itachi, I took the opportunity to copy his stealth and movement techniques using my Sharingan. The system recognized these skills and began improving them over time. By the time we reached our destination—a hidden tunnel near the outskirts of the village guarded by two unsuspecting ninja—they had already leveled up to Level 3 .

The guards were swiftly neutralized by Gaku without raising an alarm. Descending into the depths of the tunnel, it didn't take long before we emerged into an expansive underground chamber. Awaiting us was a formidable force: over a thousand Root operatives, with Danzo standing at their forefront. His gaze swept across our group, lingering first on Itachi, then Yamato.

Danzo: "It seems you've sided with your clan after all, Itachi. Your betrayal will bring ruin to the village—and countless civilians will die because of it."

'Oh,' I thought wryly, 'he thinks Itachi warned his parents about the coup.'

Danzo shifted his attention to Yamato, his voice dripping with condescension.

Danzo: "And you, Yamato—I saved you from Orochimaru. You'd be dead if not for me."

I couldn't help but smirk inwardly. 'Wow, what a bold-faced lie. This guy has no shame.'

Finally, Danzo fixed his piercing gaze on me.

Danzo: "And who are you, stranger? You're clearly not from this village. Are you from Iwa? Sand? Who sent you, and what is your purpose here?"

With an amused smile, I stepped forward, activating my Sharingan as I spoke.

Ajamu: "I'm here for justice—for what you've done to my clan. As the new head of the Uchiha, I demand retribution… and my other eye."

At the sight of my Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Danzo's eyes widened momentarily before a smug grin spread across his face.

Danzo: "You're delusional, boy. That eye belongs to me, and all you've done is deliver it straight into my hands. Did you honestly believe you could assassinate me in my own headquarters with just five men? It's almost laughable—if it weren't so disrespectful."

He raised a hand, signaling his forces.

Danzo: "Kill them all and bring me their eyes!"

My expression hardened as my companions prepared to defend me. However, I pulled Itachi back to stand beside me.

Ajamu: "I didn't save you to die here, boy. Let the adults handle this."

With a commanding gesture, I unleashed my shadows.

Ajamu: "Arise!"

From the darkness, 500 shadow warriors materialized, each armed and equipped with active Sharingan. They surged forward at my command.

Ajamu: "Leave no one alive!"

The battle erupted instantly, turning the chamber into a chaotic maelstrom of jutsu and steel. To an outside observer, it must have seemed like sheer carnage. Yet, I remained calm, observing the scene carefully through my Sharingan. This was an invaluable opportunity to gain experience and refine my combat abilities.

[Skill Acquisition]Copied Skills: Hand-to-hand combat, sword fighting (ninja style), kunai throwing.Acquired Jutsu: Fire Release, Wind Release, Earth Release, Water Release, Lightning Release, Wood Release.

Note: Unlike chakra or qi systems, Ajamu draws upon mana—a raw, adaptable energy source capable of fueling any elemental technique. Thus, there's no need to differentiate between energy types; mana suffices universally.

Feeling sufficiently prepared, I turned to Miko.

Ajamu: "Miko, capture Danzo using your eye ability—and include me within the cube."

Moments later, I found myself teleported inside a red, transparent cube alongside Danzo and Miko.

Ajamu: "Stand down, Miko. I'll handle this."

This was the perfect chance to test both Danzo's strength and my newfound capabilities. Without hesitation, I unleashed my enhanced speed and combat skills. Time seemed to slow around me as I dashed toward Danzo. His attempt to defend himself—his hand barely halfway raised—was futile. In an instant, I stood before him, tearing the Sharingan from his right eye socket and severing the arm bearing transplanted Sharingan eyes.

By the time I returned to Miko's side, Danzo's agonized screams echoed behind me.

Turning back, I regarded him with disdain. For someone responsible for so much plotting and suffering in this world, I expected more—a challenge worthy of my effort. Instead, he proved disappointingly weak.

Ajamu: "So this is all you're worth? If it weren't for the fact that you can sacrifice those eyes in your right arm to survive, I'd end your life for your weakness. But I have plans for you—you don't even deserve to serve as my shadow, let alone join my army."

I handed the severed arm to Miko.

Ajamu: "Incinerate this with Amaterasu."

Once the task was complete, I implanted the second Sharingan into my empty socket.

[New Skill Acquired]Sharingan [Mirror Wheel Eye] (Both Eyes): Two forms exist—(Three-Tomoe Form) and (Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan Form). Grants the ability to enter a person's mind and manipulate their beliefs seamlessly, fooling everyone—including the victim themselves—into perceiving fabricated experiences as reality. Having both eyes unlocks Amaterasu and Susanoo .

Curious to test my new abilities, I activated my Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and cast its illusion upon Danzo. Within moments, he became utterly loyal to me, akin to any ordinary shadow under my command. I issued several orders: convene a meeting, declare the Uchiha innocent of the Kyuubi attack, dissolve Root, and rectify the injustices against Naruto. Finally, I provided him with a healing potion to prevent death from blood loss, which he accepted with gratitude.

Stepping out of the cube, I surveyed the battlefield. Only a hundred enemies remained, but they wouldn't last long. Checking my mana reserves, I noted that reviving the fallen had cost nearly half my energy. Still, it wasn't a concern—Danzo's elite troops, many possessing special abilities or bloodlines, would soon bolster my ranks.

I called forth my shadows once more.

Ajamu: "Rise!"

From the ground rose 1,400 newly-formed shadows, bringing my total army to 1,950 strong. Satisfied, I dismissed all but Yamato, Gaku, Miko, and Danzo—who now served as my personal prisoner.

A blue screen materialized before me, displaying a message:

[ALERT: SUMMONING FROM LORD LUCIS HAS BEEN RECEIVED]

[THE WORLD OF ALERA FACES DANGER. YOU ARE REQUESTED TO DEAL WITH IT.]

[5 MINUTES UNTIL TELEPORTATION STARTS.]

Taking advantage of the remaining time, I accessed my shop, purchasing superior swords, armor, and health/mana potions using currency earned from defeating the previous wave of ninja. Additionally, I allocated stat points gained from leveling up four times during the battle, distributing them evenly among Strength, Vitality, Agility, and Sense.

As the timer ticked down to ten seconds, I addressed my remaining shadows and equipped my gear.

Ajamu: "I'm ready."

In a flash of light, I vanished, teleporting away to confront whatever awaited me in Alera.
