"Who is this guy?"
Sasuke's eyes narrowed sharply.
Seeing the void-like hole in Kira's chest, he instantly understood.
Could the immense pressure from earlier have come from this person?
Ryujiro, you've created another monster.
"Kimimaro, what's wrong?"
Gaara noticed something strange about Kimimaro.
Kimimaro seemed different from before; there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Are you afraid?"
Gaara asked with a frown.
Even Sasuke couldn't help but look at Kimimaro and found him trembling with terror.
"I don't know."
"This feeling is like an instinctual fear, as if he and I are on completely different levels."
On different levels?
Seeing the fear on Kimimaro's face, Gaara fell into deep thought.
Does that mean this person's strength is even more terrifying than Kimimaro's?
That Shinigami mask was indeed quite intimidating.
Ryujiro walked over slowly, smiling, and said, "It's normal for you to be afraid. You are a Gillian level Arrancar , while he is an Adjuchas level Arrancar."
"It's normal for you to fear him."
An Adjuchas Arrancar!
Kimimaro gasped sharply, his face changing instantly.
Ryujiro had told him about the Adjuchas-level Arrancar, which were on a completely different tier from the Gillian.
The base abilities of an Adjuchas far surpassed those of a Gillian.
Even the gap between a Gillian's Arrancar and an Adjuchas's Arrancar was not something that could be easily bridged.
What kind of soul did Ryujiro transform, to make it immediately become an Adjuchas-level Arrancar?
And what about Lord Orochimaru?
Has Ryujiro-sama not yet decided to transform Lord Orochimaru?
Meanwhile, in the dead of night, a mysterious figure appeared in the village of Konoha.
There was still some time before dawn, and Ryujiro's clone at home had not slept.
Sensing the approaching figure, the clone couldn't help but frown.
This feeling…
Was it Danzo?
What was he doing here at this time?
As Ryujiro's clone was about to act, the space in the room tore apart, and Ryujiro stepped out of a void portal.
"Danzo?"
Since Ryujiro's main body had returned, the clone was no longer needed.
With a "poof," the clone vanished in a puff of smoke.
On the rooftop, Danzo's cloudy eyes looked particularly cold under the moonlight.
At this moment, Ryujiro also reached the rooftop, looking at Danzo indifferently.
"What are you doing here?"
"Ryujiro, you've deceived everyone."
"It seems that Orochimaru's death was all part of your plan. You knew he would come back to life, didn't you?"
Danzo asked in a low voice.
"So what if I did."
Ryujiro replied calmly.
Danzo's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected Ryujiro to admit it directly.
Does he really think that Danzo has no influence left in Konoha?
Danzo's gaze turned sinister as he looked down at Ryujiro.
"It seems you staying in the village is dangerous. Someone like you, uncontrollable, will eventually drag Konoha into the abyss."
"Heh, Danzo."
"You speak so righteously, but isn't it all for the position of Hokage?"
Ryujiro mocked with a laugh.
"Yes, I do it for the position of Hokage!"
"I want the position of Hokage for the entire Konoha!"
"Konoha can only regain its former glory under my leadership as the first ninja village!"
"I want to make Konoha great again."
"Someone like you, who doesn't care for the village, would never understand this!"
Danzo roared in anger.
He tore off the bandage covering his right eye, revealing the Mangekyo Sharingan, which looked even more eerie under the moonlight.
"Kotoamatsukami!"
As soon as Kotoamatsukami activated, Ryujiro's body trembled, and his eyes gradually became dazed.
"Danzo... sama..."
Ryujiro stiffly uttered these words.
"Phew!"
Danzo let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that Kotoamatsukami had succeeded.
As expected of the strongest genjutsu of the Sharingan. At first, Danzo was worried that it might not work.
Heh.
Someone like you probably never imagined a day when you'd be controlled by me.
Danzo's face showed a cold smile.
Now, Ryujiro was his puppet, completely under his control.
Danzo had already decided that since Ryujiro was an assistant to the Hokage, he might as well be an undercover agent next to the Hokage.
"From now on, stay by Tsunade's side. Report to me immediately if there's any movement among the high-ups."
"Yes."
With that, Danzo's figure disappeared into the night.
At this moment, Ryujiro's lips curled into a disdainful smile.
"Idiot."
The so-called signs of being controlled by genjutsu were just Ryujiro pretending.
His powers made him immune to genjutsu, even the strongest one like Kotoamatsukami couldn't control him.
In his eyes, Danzo's earlier smug smile was nothing more than that of a clown.
Be your spy?
Dream on.
When Danzo realizes he hasn't been controlling Ryujiro and has been played all along, who knows what kind of expression he will have.
It might be quite amusing.
Ryujiro's twisted sense of humor was chilling.
The next day, Ryujiro took Hinata to where Naruto and Jiraiya were training.
At this moment, Naruto had gradually gained control over the Nine-Tails' chakra and no longer got affected by emotions when using the tailed beast chakra.
For Jiraiya, Naruto's progress was surprising. Even more surprising was that the Nine-Tails would actively communicate with Naruto.
What exactly did Ryujiro do?
Now, Naruto's strength had reached a new level, probably even surpassing Sasuke's at this stage.
"Jiraiya-sama."
Ryujiro called out.
Jiraiya, who was mostly letting Naruto train on his own, quickly put away the small adult book he was holding and coughed awkwardly when he heard Ryujiro's voice.
Hinata looked at Jiraiya curiously.
Was this one of the legendary Sannin?
Why does he seem so strange?
"What are you doing here?" Jiraiya asked awkwardly.
Ryujiro knew what book Jiraiya had been reading.
As the author of the "Icha Icha Paradise" series, Jiraiya often indulged in these "healthy" books.
"Just came to check on Naruto."
"You're just letting him train on his own?"
Ryujiro frowned as he looked at Naruto training and then glanced at Jiraiya.
"Naruto can already control the tailed beast chakra. I have nothing more to teach him."
Jiraiya shook his head helplessly.
Ryujiro looked at Jiraiya skeptically.
He didn't believe Jiraiya's nonsense for a second.
Jiraiya was clearly just slacking off.
