With the Uchiha massacre looming, six-year-old Daniel was more than ready to seize the opportunity to cop some Uchiha eyes. Today he was training with a few clones he created using Piccolo's ability to spawn minions or children—whatever they were, it was undeniably creepy but incredibly useful for training.
Daniel clashed with his three look-alikes, each glowing with a green aura, their hair transformed into the vibrant green of Super Saiyan 1. They battled fiercely in the sky, far up in the atmosphere, their energy clashes lighting up the sky
In the DB universe Goku could the sense energy of beings on other planets far away, Daniel used this ability to find a secluded place far from civilization where he could train to his heart's content. Using Instant Transmission, he could literally go anywhere on the planet in an instant, allowing him to travel with ease.
The sky was a canvas of swirling energy as Daniel faced off against his clones. Each clone had adopted a different martial art, making the battle a true test of his versatility and skill.
Daniel, grounded in Taichi, moved with a fluid grace, his movements slow yet powerful. His first clone, however, used the Fist of Flowing Water, its strikes rapid and relentless, mimicking the flow of a raging river.
The clash was mesmerizing. Daniel's Taichi allowed him to deflect and redirect the clone's aggressive attacks, using minimal effort to achieve maximum effect. The clone's fists blurred as it unleashed a torrent of blows, each one met with a calm, precise counter from Daniel.
Above them, the second clone, utilizing a form of martial arts that emphasized aerial combat, swooped down with powerful kicks and acrobatic maneuvers. Daniel anticipated its moves, using Instant Transmission to evade and counterattack, his body flickering in and out of existence.
The third clone, embodying a brutal, ground-based style, charged at Daniel with raw power. Its strikes were heavy and forceful, aiming to overwhelm him with sheer strength. Daniel, however, remained composed, using Taichi's principles to absorb and neutralize the force, turning the clone's power against itself.
The battle raged on, each clash of fists and feet creating shockwaves that rippled through the atmosphere. Daniel's mastery of Taichi allowed him to remain centered and focused, his movements a dance of balance and harmony amidst the chaos.
As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the battlefield, Daniel's didn't show any flaws. With a final, decisive move, he brought an to battle using his advantage in power capacity, his clones dissipating into wisps of energy. Breathing heavily, Daniel stood victorious, his skills honed making stronger than ever.
"Judging by the energy signatures, I sense the massacre will happen tonight," Daniel observed as he hovered in the sky, an ugly smile spreading across his face from the excitement. "The reason I specifically chose Piccolo was for his intelligence. Thanks to that, I've been able to master their skills faster and use them more fluidly in my own way," he added.
"Hehe, I'll just suppress my chakra and change my appearance a bit, then I'll join the fray," Daniel chuckled, his clothes transitioning from his training outfit to his normal wear. "Of course, I could send one of my offspr... I mean, clones, like how Piccolo did when he was a villain, but there's no fun in that. If I end up being exposed, I'll just eliminate everyone at the source," Daniel thought, meaning Danzo. He teleported back to his room, the only thing keeping him from acting too out of the original story was that it would be boring for him, so he kept things roughly the same.
"The night has come. Time to claim my belongings—I mean, liberate some Uchiha eyes from Danzo and Tobi," Daniel said as night fell. Changing his appearance, he readied himself for the big night. Teleporting to the district where the Uchiha lived, Daniel's feet were met by a pool of blood as the massacre had already started.
"I've been stoc... I mean, observing a family or two that are perfect candidates for... hmm, liberation," Daniel whispered, focusing on the massacre field and looking for his targets. "Family one is dead. No, two... also dead. Three, four... hmmm. Yes, seven is still alive. They seem to be hiding," Daniel observed, opening his eyes and teleporting to the family's location.
"Shhh. Stay quiet, hidden here, and I'll attract the enemy's attention," the father said, hiding his children in the closet and silently heading downstairs.
"Big brother, I'm scared," Izuru, an eight-year-old, said, clinging to his elder brother Takehashi.
"It's alright. It'll be over soon, after which Mom and Dad will come back here and take us to a safe place," the elder brother comforted him. "Make sure to protect your younger brother," Takehashi remembered his parents' voice as he strengthened his resolve, standing in the hallway next to the stairs.
Daniel waited as Izuru's brother came down. The shock on his face was evident as he saw a short person wearing a mask and an all-black ninja suit. His wife lay beside him, her eyes gouged out. Rage filled him as he activated his Sharingan.
"Huh! I was sure this sight would incite you to awaken, but..." Daniel said, interrupted by the man's attack. He grabbed the man's wife by the hair, flinging her at him. The man caught his wife's corpse, gently laying her down.
"You savage," the man cried, tears in his eyes. "What did we ever do to deserve this?" he yelled, holding his kunai tightly.
"Even with this, you still didn't awaken. Maybe you didn't love your wife that much," Daniel responded, not answering the man. In rage, the man charged, but his Sharingan was useless. Daniel's movements were too fast for the man's Sharingan to track.
"Bastard," the man groaned as he panted.
"Is that so? If I recall correctly, you're part of the group that was planning the coup," Daniel responded. The mask covering his face didn't reveal even the slightest of Daniel's expression, but it displayed a menacing pressure. The man twitched as he heard this, after all, it was a secret. "In fact, you're among the top coordinators of it, no?" Daniel further revealed, irking the man as he vanished from sight.
"Kaaa," the man coughed, spitting out blood as Daniel appeared behind him. Before he could notice, Daniel pierced him through the heart. "And then there were two," Daniel stated, plucking out the man's eyes.
Daniel ascended the stairs, following the life signatures of the siblings. He entered their room, opening the closet where they hid. Fear filled their eyes as they realized from the stranger's appearance that their parents were likely dead. The elder brother tried to rush Daniel, buying his sibling time as he yelled to his younger brother to run away.
Daniel effortlessly avoided the charge as the elder brother continued throwing a barrage of attacks, none of which connected. Daniel restrained the brother, but the boy seemed slightly relieved, thinking his younger brother had run to safety.
"Don't rejoice so soon," Daniel said, his voice cold and domineering.
"Onii-chan!" the younger called, his feet stuck to the floor as pink gum slowly swallowed him.
"Izuru!" the elder cried, rage filling him as his eyes turned crimson, awakening his Sharingan.
"Good, you'll yield wonderful results for me," Daniel grinned under his mask as he absorbed the siblings into his body, just like Buu did to Gohan during their fight.
