Chapter 161: Danzo Shimura, the Scapegoat with a High Drop Rate in the Early Game

Think about Ao, the veteran Jonin of their Hidden Mist Village; he was blacklisted by the Hidden Leaf just for a single Byakugan, and even that Byakugan is now treated as a treasure by the entire Hidden Mist Village.

Yet, the Danzo currently before Shengzai possesses at least ten Sharingan—one of the three great ocular techniques—on his arm alone, and they are all three-tomoe Sharingan at that.

If all these Sharingan were brought back to the Hidden Mist Village, wouldn't the village elites immediately arrange for the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, to warm his bed?

Furthermore, besides these three-tomoe Sharingan, Danzo also possesses relatively mature Hashirama cells, as well as Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyo Sharingan.

Shengzai has mentioned before that to fully resurrect from the state of "Reanimation," he must rely on the power of the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique.

And to use the Samsara of Heavenly Life, the powers of both Indra and Asura are indispensable.

Shengzai had previously considered: if he were to implant the Rinnegan into Danzo, could the other party use the Samsara of Heavenly Life?

If so, wouldn't that count as putting waste to good use?

Of course, if the condition for using Samsara of Heavenly Life requires someone possessing the bloodline of Indra or Asura, that is also fine; doesn't Danzo still have Shisui's Mangekyo?

As long as he uses Shisui's Sharingan to reanimate him, then implants Nagato's Rinnegan, and incidentally scrapes some Hashirama cells from Danzo, wouldn't all the activation conditions for Samsara of Heavenly Life be met?

Simply put, in Shengzai's eyes, the current Danzo is clearly a massive treasure vault.

After all, as a boss who was thrashed by Sasuke during the skeleton period, Danzo's drop rate is truly too high.

As for others who could also drop Mangekyo and Hashirama cells, Shengzai cannot afford to provoke any of them right now, so he can only come to bully Danzo.

"Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere!"

Seeing Shengzai's gaze, which was sizing up his body as if looking at merchandise, Danzo was overcome with great rage. He immediately reached out to form hand seals and blew out wind bullets that were like bullets from his mouth!

"Water Style: Water Formation Wall!"

Shengzai is a Bloodline Limit ninja, but that does not mean he cannot use ninjutsu. In fact, not only can he use ninjutsu, but he also possesses four types of chakra attributes: wind, water, lightning, and fire. Among them, he has even mastered the nature transformation for wind and water attributes.

The wind bullets, like a machine gun, shot toward Shengzai with an extremely dense coverage area, instantly blasting the surrounding walls and ground until they were riddled with holes.

However, just as these wind bullets flew to within half a meter in front of Shengzai, a water curtain shaped like an inverted bowl formed instantly before him, successfully blocking the opponent's Wind Style.

The characteristic of Wind Style is sharpness, yet no matter how sharp a blade is, it cannot cut through constantly flowing water.

As Danzo's Vacuum Spheres were completely blocked, Shengzai quickly changed his hand seals. Immediately after, the hemispherical water curtain seemed to receive a suction force, pulling upward and quickly transforming into a ferocious water dragon.

"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

The roaring water dragon whistled out and charged directly at Danzo. Because Shengzai's chakra is extremely astonishing, the power of the Water Dragon Bullet Technique he is currently using also appears to far exceed a standard B-rank ninjutsu.

Danzo took a deep breath. Although he also used "Wind Style: Vacuum Wave," the water dragon, which had been cut in half in mid-air, quickly transformed into two smaller water dragons under Shengzai's chakra control, continuing to charge toward him.

The characteristic of Wind Style chakra nature transformation is sharpness; the characteristic of Lightning Style chakra nature transformation is penetration; then, the characteristic of Water Style chakra nature transformation is flow.

As the saying goes, the highest excellence is like water; flowing water can take any shape, can softly encompass everything, and can be continuous, even dripping through stone.

Facing the impact of the two water dragon bullets, Danzo ultimately had no choice but to dodge. The water dragon bullets that landed in the empty space not only shattered the rocks on the ground but also instantly turned the entire Root base into a marsh.

Looking at the Root base that had directly turned into a water domain, the eye Danzo had exposed was also filled with astonishment at this moment.

Such an astonishing amount of chakra already far exceeds that of an average Jonin, which is enough to show that Shengzai is not an ordinary small-time character.

When Danzo, who had leaped up previously, landed on the water surface again and looked back at the position where Shengzai had just been standing, he discovered that the other party's figure had already disappeared.

At the same time, Danzo, who had been a ninja for many years, felt a sudden, inexplicable alarm bell ringing in his heart.

"Ding——————!"

Almost the instant he sensed danger, Danzo immediately drew a kunai from his waist and, out of instinct, turned to block.

In the next second, a crisp sound of metal clashing erupted between the two. Accompanied by ripples splashing on the water surface, Danzo was stunned to discover that the kunai in his hand had actually been snapped directly by a bone blade extending from the opponent's hand!

"Dance of the Camellia: Larch!"

Kimimaro's Dead Bone Pulse was merely using the power of the Bloodline Limit, but Shengzai is different.

In Shengzai's view, the Dead Bone Pulse is a practical Bloodline Limit that integrates offense and defense. The ability to manipulate the body's bones destined that any user of the Dead Bone Pulse could become a taijutsu ninja with extremely strong power.

But relying solely on the power of the Bloodline Limit is not enough. Since the entire body can be transformed into a weapon, why not integrate it with taijutsu and sword techniques?

The hardness of the Dead Bone Pulse's bones is comparable to steel, enough to easily suppress most weapons, and coupled with the sharpness of Wind Style chakra, it is almost capable of cutting through anything.

A powerful Bloodline Limit, plus enchantment, and finally paired with his own superb sword technique—Shengzai just wants to say, who can take his blade head-on now!

After snapping the kunai in Danzo's hand with one strike, the slash, though greatly reduced in momentum, only left a faint blade mark on Danzo's chest, but the powerful impact still sent the other party's body flying backward.

Watching Danzo fly backward, Shengzai did not stand foolishly in place; instead, he blew another burst of Wind Style chakra to cover the bone blade in his hand and slashed out again!

Accompanied by a brilliant white light flashing past, the marsh on the ground seemed to encounter some great resistance and was directly split to both sides. The blade light, reinforced by Wind Style, even left a deep gully in the ground while splitting the water surface!

Watching the slash, whose momentum was even more astonishing than before, shooting toward him as he flew backward, Danzo realized that at the speed of this slash, it would likely be too late to use ninjutsu for defense. So, after hesitating for a moment, Danzo ultimately extended his right hand.

"Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"

Because the Wood Style chakra is extracted directly from the Hashirama cells in his left arm, the advantage of the Wood Style Danzo uses is that it requires no hand seals.

But its disadvantage is also quite obvious: once the power of Wood Style is used too many times, the Hashirama cells in his body will go berserk as a result.
