Actually, I am the fifth floor.
The only time Danzo ever showed his emotions was to Tenzo.
However, it was precisely that moment that Tenzo awakened the Will of Fire at a critical juncture, defied Danzo's orders, and was subsequently absorbed by Sarutobi Hiruzen into his inner Anbu circle.
This made Danzo more certain than ever that the roots under his leadership should be buried deep underground—without a name, without emotion.
There is no past, no future.
There is only the mission in his heart, only loyalty to himself.
Only such a root is a true root!
As for collaboration, after all, it is a falsehood, filled with betrayal.
Danzo wanted Xu Fan to be loyal to him wholeheartedly—obliterate his emotions, his past, his future, and the so-called Will of Fire that Sarutobi Hiruzen had instilled in him over the years!
Thinking this, Danzo's resolve only hardened. He grabbed the bandages around his right eye and tore them off, revealing the eye that had long been hidden in darkness.
The blood-red pupils were engraved with three tomoe.
The Sharingan!
Xu Fan frowned slightly, not expecting Danzo to immediately use his secret weapon.
The Kaleidoscope Sharingan he had stolen from Shisui… Don't be a god!
With a single glance, it could invade the target's mind and rewrite their will.
Even the authorities referred to this technique as "Turning all those seen by the caster into his puppets."
It was the strongest illusion in Naruto!
Some people even joked that Uchiha Itachi's extreme loyalty to Konoha and his decision to massacre his own clan were a result of having fallen under this very technique.
However, Danzo was too late. By now, Xu Fan had developed immunity to illusions.
It's good to read monthly, don't be a god!
There's no need to fear it anymore!
"Don't be a god!"
With a shout, Danzo's right eye morphed, evolving from a three-tomoe Sharingan to a full Kaleidoscope Sharingan.
The strongest illusion was activated!
Danzo's pride swelled. Even Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know he possessed this eye.
Naturally, he wouldn't warn Xu Fan to be cautious.
In other words, once he used this eye, any resistance would be futile.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that even Danzo himself feared this terrifying power.
And Uchiha Shisui? To use such a precious power to stop a mere coup? That was pure folly!
Having confirmed the activation of Tsukuyomi, Danzo raised his hand and pointed at Xu Fan with an authoritative tone.
"From now on, you will inherit the codename A. You will serve me and kill the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen!"
"On the day I become the Fifth Hokage, you will be the root's vanguard, clearing all obstacles for me!"
"I will be the sun of Konoha, and you will be the root buried deep underground!"
Danzo's voice was domineering, outlining his new assassination strategy.
The previous attempt had failed due to Kakashi's defection.
But with Xu Fan's trust and the power he possessed, he was far beyond Tenzo!
Especially the vast chakra he wielded—easily more than a hundred times that of Kakashi.
Even if Kakashi had intervened again, he would have only died under Xu Fan's Wood Release.
"Bring me Kakashi's Sharingan."
Danzo continued, his tone as cold and controlled as ever.
This time, no one would stop him.
Shisui, do you see this?
This is the true usage of Tsukuyomi!
However, as Danzo confidently believed himself to be invincible, Xu Fan merely crossed his arms, regarding him with a blank expression.
Tsukuyomi won't work on me. What should I do? Waiting online, very anxious.
Forget it.
Xu Fan shook his head helplessly, a wry smile forming on his lips.
Since Danzo had brought Tsukuyomi to him, he couldn't be blamed for what was about to happen.
Besides, the Third Hokage and the senior Konoha officials had no idea Danzo had stolen Shisui's Tsukuyomi.
Even if Danzo were to use it on him here, he would remain silent, a mute witness to his own downfall.
Most importantly, Danzo was the one who had come first.
It was him. He was the first... whether it was assassination or illusion, Danzo led the charge.
Xu Fan was merely defending himself, reacting passively.
And everyone knew that Danzo's strength rivaled that of the Third Hokage, bolstered by the support of the Root organization.
Even heroes of the ninja world couldn't defeat Danzo-sama.
Let alone a mere ninja like himself.
He was... he was truly terrified!
Danzo had only acquired the Tsukuyomi after the Uchiha massacre.
In other words, he still hadn't learned about forbidden techniques like Izanagi at this point.
"Danzo, when did you believe your Tsukuyomi would work on me?" Xu Fan's lips curled into a mocking smile.
"What... what did you say?"
In an instant, Danzo's eyes widened. He froze, standing there in disbelief.
He hadn't activated Uchiha's strongest illusion, had he?
No... impossible.
Although Shisui had said it took more than ten years to activate once, Danzo had undergone a procedure with the cells of the Sage of Six Paths, drastically shortening the cooldown time for Tsukuyomi.
He could activate the strongest illusion!
But...
Why?
Why didn't it work?
Xu Fan should have been controlled by Tsukuyomi, transformed into a puppet for Danzo's scheme.
A bad premonition bloomed in Danzo's chest.
Did his illusion fail?
"Don't be a god!"
Danzo shouted again, using the power of his right eye.
Yet Xu Fan remained standing, staring at him with open mockery.
"Don't be a god!"
"Don't be a god!"
Danzo, now desperate, kept activating Tsukuyomi on Xu Fan, but every attempt resulted in failure.
Moreover, a sharp pain coursed through his right eye—a side effect of forcibly using Tsukuyomi.
"Damn it, how is this possible? I've activated Tsukuyomi. You should be under my control, a puppet in my hands!"
"Want to know why, Danzo?"
Xu Fan took a step forward, his presence overwhelming.
It wasn't that Tsukuyomi didn't activate—it was that the powers granted by the sign-in assistant had made him immune to illusions.
Tsukuyomi had no effect on him.
Of course, Xu Fan wouldn't reveal the truth to Danzo.
He spoke slowly, in a low, calculating tone, as if a master pulling the strings.
"You only saw the second floor, and you thought I was at the first. In truth, I am the fifth floor!"
As Xu Fan's words fell, a surge of chakra exploded from him.
The ceiling, the walls, the floors—everything shattered!
