(NSS)Chapter 83: Exposed shadow and despair
🕑 Added 2024-07-05 15:47:25 +0000 UTC(Normal pov)
I sat quietly in the center of the room meditating while my mind wondered as I allowed the natural energy to lead it as it willed. It was but humbling and calming to witness the totality of the worlds power for miles in every direction at once. Every insect, snake, bird or other animal and every plant that existed within my range was all seen by me like a massive constantly changing movie. I felt small in a way witnessing it all but yet at the same time I also felt like a god because I knew it would take just a small flex of my will to change the flow of natural energy and spare or kill any of these things.-
It was a rare occasion that I stopped holding back and let my sage senses extend fully. Despite my mind being literally made to handle it this was still such a massive amount of information to process that I could not do anything else while like this. Even though this was the case every now and then I felt the need to just let my troubles slip away as I watched the world.-
As a bonus there was no hiding from me when I did this and I could see all the shinobi prowling the forest in search of me under Danzo's orders as well as the secret Root base located bellow ground here. It was well hidden with many sensory deprivation seals all over it to stop people from doing exactly what I was and discovering and peering into it without permission. The thing was however that there was no stopping natural energy and by extension my senses that were perfectly blended with it. -
I could see every square inch of the base as though I was standing right there in the flesh. As far as construction was concerned it was little more than a cave with smooth walls, floors and ceilings. Each of which were unnaturally reinforced, with seals no doubt, to stop someone from just putting a bit of pressure on the earth above it to cause the whole thing to collapse. Believe me I was VERY tempted to do precisely that with what I saw further in the base. This base had a very well stocked laboratory but the problem was what was in the lab, Eyes from the Uchiha clan.-
How did I know that they were from the Uchiha clan? Because they were labeled extremely thoroughly. Name, age, sharingan developmental stage, it was all there clear as day to see. It wasn't just the yes in the lab either but refrigeration chambers with biological samples of various people that had also been labeled. Amongst that number were even my own cells that had been cultivated and were being used in experiments. The Root members in the lab were near constantly doing something or other but i could only recognize some of it thanks to my iryonin knowledge.-
I recognized the cell fusion process, the cell growth process and even the grafting process on human test subjects. In one case I even saw them try and fuse my cells with that of the first Hokages before injecting the result into an unconscious man and watching the result. The fact that my cells failed to fuse with the first Hokages came as no surprise but WHY that was did. They were equal in potency and ended up destroying each other when the process was attempted. Neither side could gain advantage over the other and so they both got destroyed in the resulting struggle.-
That was apparently the whole purpose of injecting both into a person in fact as the lab people said that they hopped this conflict between our cells would allow the host body to absorb them easily. I wasn't really majored in this field of cellular infusion but even still I knew there was no way in hell that would work without a miracle. If anything the two cell cultures would spread like cancer until they met at which point they would likely drain the host of resources to use as fuel to try and dominate the other side only to most likely fail and achieve nothing but killing the host.-
These experiments were sickening to watch and I wanted to act against the base but had a very big issue with doing so, Danzo was there. I discovered why he was there too and felt that my dislike of the man was justified. His "crippled" right arm was apparently made of Hashirama cells and had close to a dozen sharingan's imbedded in it. He was effectively at this lab to get a checkup to make sure the Hashirama cells weren't killing him while also getting an update on the possibility of fusing my own cells into the mix.-
I took a small gamble as a result and willed the natural energy to surge into the arm while it was being examined. Why? Because I knew thanks to historical records that the first hokage was a "perfect" sage and it was my hope that his cells remembered that and drew in natural chakra wildly to turn Danzo into a statue. I knew from experience that you needed to balance natural energy with chakra in order to create sage chakra but through my own tests I also knew that if you failed you'd turn into stone.-
The reaction to my gamble was immediate but not quite what I had hoped would happen. At first Danzo and the lab worker panicked as the activity readings started spiking from the arm but rather than turn to stone the whole arm turned into wood, including the sharingan's, before it was hastily cut off and turned into a tree in the middle of the lab. Not a small tree either but one that grew up and and up until it burst through the surface.-
I was pleased to find however that Danzo had weakened DRASTICALLY after the arm started changing. Clearly the thing had stolen a lot of vitality from his body before it had been cut off as his originally black hair had turned grey and more wrinkles had appeared on his face. He was still alive unfortunately but at least it looked like he could keel over any moment and the best part? I was totally untraceable to the incident. As far as any readings were concerned the cells simply did like they tended to do and went on a rampage costing their host heavily in the process.-
There was something deeply satisfying about watching the man despair after a series of tests on his new condition told him he had months at most left to live. The reason for that is that his vitality was now about the same as someone with a sickly constitution at the age of ninety. Thanks to this I no longer even NEEDED to personally act as he'd die all on his own if left alone. That said I fully intended to make the last little bit of his life miserable after the new Hokage was appointed by handing over those files the Third left for me.

Karma is a bitch but damn, it feel good when she's on your ennemies's back.

A really great and efficient way of handling Danzo and certainly some Karmin justice and the way he is going to die. I can’t help but having a little bit of schadenfreude lol.

This is the most unique way of dealing with Danzo I've seen, and I love it! Perfect karma

Go dead danzo! Thanks for the chapter!
