Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Valley of the End.
June, x787.
Seeing the smile on Alfonzo's face, Danzo knew that he would not be coming out of whatever Alfonzo had planned unscathed. He already lost the eye that he had stolen from a mber of the Uchiha clan. And that eye was quite possibly Danzo's greatest weapon.
In fact, that eye was a lot like the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan. And it was called the Sharingan, the Kekkei Genkai of the Uchiha clan, a clan that had been destroyed several years ago, by a mber of its own, no less.
And what made the Sharingan special was its ability to read the movents of an opponent, allowing the wielder to predict an opponent's movents. On top of that, it had the ability to read the magic power flow of whoever it looked at, making it possible to copy almost any Jutsu it sees. It even made using Genjutsu, the illusionary ninja arts, much easier, as well.
It even worked on the spells of regular wizards. However, without the prerequisite knowledge of the magic the wizard was using, the wielder would not be able to perform the magic. Still, having a Sharingan was an undeniable advantage in battle. And that was why Danzo had one plugged into his right eye socket.
But that was not the only thing about the Sharingan. Every Sharingan had the ability to evolve even further and gain abilities unique to the wielder. However, that usually ca at the cost of soone the wielder held dear. And the eye Alfonzo took from Danzo was one of these evolved Sharingan, also known as the Mangekyō Sharingan. Though, these unique abilities ca at a cost. Naly, the wielder's eye sight.
And the ability of the eye Danzo just lost was called [Kotoamatsukami]. [Kotoamatsukami] was a powerful Genjutsu, most likely the most powerful Genjutsu in existence. The ability of this powerful Genjutsu was to weave an illusion so strong that the wielder would be able to manipulate the target's thoughts. And the worst part was that the target would not even have an inkling that they were being manipulated, as the illusion would mask their mories perfectly.
But none of that mattered at this point, considering that Danzo had lost the eye containing that power. So, the only thing he could do right now was watch Alfonzo approach with a terrifying smile that was filled with, what he described as, all the world's malice.
"Now~, now~, now~." Alfonzo said in a sing-song tone. "What do you think I should do with you, Danzo~?"
By the ti Alfonzo started speaking, he had already reached Danzo. And as he continued to speak, he slowly circled around the forr Elder of the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
"First, let's deal with the rest of the n you cultivated to be your loyal puppets." Alfonzo continued, unconcerned that Danzo was unable to respond to his question. "I want you to see that everything you built has absolutely no aning to ."
With that, Alfonzo began walking around all the incapacitated shinobi. Then, one by one he removed each of their masks. After that, he pried their mouths open and carved the sigils that would negate Danzo's [Seal] onto their tongue. And for a majority of them, he did it in front of Danzo, just to let him know how outclassed he was.
"You know what, this is taking too long." Alfonzo replied after he got through about half of the Root shinobi's [Seals]. Then, he pulled Riot and Bedlam off the strap on his lower back, spread his arms to his sides, and lowered his stance slightly before continuing. "I don't wanna keep Lici waiting for for too long. [Run Wild with Destruction on Your fingertips. Usher in Pandemonium with Creation in Your Hands, Riot, Bedlam]."
In the next instant, the tonfa in Alfonzo's hands liquified before they covered Alfonzo's hands and forearms in liquid tal. However, the change in appearance was the less significant part of Alfonzo's decision to release his [Soul Armant]. Instead, it was the other part of what happened when the seal was released.
Standing directly in front of Danzo, Alfonzo's magic power, which was even higher than Gildarts' at this point, spiked by five tis its base amount. And Danzo felt it. He felt it with every fiber of his being. And the power was so overwhelming that he truly regretted the decision he made to make Alfonzo his enemy. As a result, Danzo's legs could no longer support him and he fell to his knees.
Unfortunately, that would not be enough to save him from the young man's wrath.
Alfonzo, with his powers amplified by his [Soul armants], willed all the shinobi he had taken down stealthily to co to him. And the reason he could do that was simple, he had restrained all of them with tal restraints after taking them all down.
Not even a minute later, almost seventy restrained shinobi, each wearing a featureless white mask, floated out of the forest separating the Valley of the End and the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Then, once they were all laid down on the ground, Alfonzo's fingers elongated before splitting into the number tendrils equaling the shinobi who still had Danzo's [Seals] in effect.
After that, each tendril did a few things, all in unison. First, they removed the shinobi's mask, slithered into their mouths, and carved the sigils needed to negate the [Seal]. Then, all the tendrils were retracted and Alfonzo's hands returned to their normal shape.
"There." Alfonzo said while shaking off any lingering saliva on his hands. "All done. The insects living in the Abura clansn were a bit annoying though. Especially the ones in that guy that were really poisonous. Good thing they couldn't bite for real, though."
Realizing that Alfonzo had disabled every mber of his Root and removed their seals in less than an hour and a half almost made Danzo have a ntal breakdown. Luckily, or unluckily, for him, however, Alfonzo was not done yet. Not by a long shot.
"Now, it's your turn, Danzo." Alfonzo said, beginning to approach Danzo once again. "And I'm not gonna be nearly as gentle with you as I was with them."
*Snap!*
With that said, Alfonzo snapped his fingers. And thanks to the tal coating his hands, the snap had a distinctly tallic sound to it. A sound that slightly grated on Danzo's sanity. But the thin tal bands that appeared on his wrists and ankles are what really made him panic.
Each of the tal bands was packed with anti-magic sigils, completely cutting off his flow of magic power. They even stopped the Jutsu he had prepared to get out of the predicant he was in.
"Impossible! You cancelled [Izanagi]…" Danzo muttered in a tone filled with disbelief. "How is this possible? How did you even know about that?"
"Oh, you an that Sharingan Jutsu that allows you to rewrite reality for the next minute?" Alfonzo asked while tilting his head like Sun usually does. "It's thanks to all the ticulous notes you kept on the Sharingan. They really helped a lot. So, I guess I should thank you for that, right?"
"But how?" Danzo asked, shuddering at the thought. "How could you have possibly entered my base without setting off any of the [Alarm Seals]? That's impossible! And how did you even know where it was? Tell !"
By the end, Danzo was roaring. He just could not understand how everything went so wrong so quickly. And he was in desperate need of answers.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Alfonzo replied while smiling mischievously. "I saw all those [Alarm Seals] you ntioned, too. Man, I can only imagine how none of your subordinates tripped them whenever they entered or left the base. You must have really trained them well."
"How did you do it? Tell !" Danzo roared again.
*Bang!*
"Watch your fucking tone, mother fucker." Alfonzo said coldly after kicking Danzo in the mouth and knocking out several teeth. Then, he crouched down in front of Danzo and grabbed him by the jaw before continuing. "I really don't like the way you're talking to right now."
When Alfonzo looked Danzo in the eye after kicking him, Danzo could not help but flinch back at the overwhelming hatred he could see swirling in the depth of Alfonzo's eyes.
"As for how I got in without triggering any of your [Seals], I don't think I'll tell you." Alfonzo said as he released Danzo's jaw, satisfied with the fear he could see in the old man's eye. "But I will tell you this, I didn't tamper with them at all. As for how I found you… Did you really think you could steal sothing I created and I wouldn't be able to find it? Now after doing sothing so stupid, why don't you stew in your incompetence until you're sent to et Ankhseram?"
When Alfonzo released Danzo's jaw, the older man, in a state of shock and terror, fell to the side and ended up laying on the ground like the rest of his subordinates. However, he was unable to take his eyes off Alfonzo. So, he saw when Alfonzo raised his right arm. And when he heard the spell he was going to cast, he began to shudder in terror.
"[tal Magic: Circular Cutter]." Alfonzo chanted, making sure it was loud enough for Danzo to hear.
In the next instant, a circular saw blade grew from the back of Alfonzo's right hand. However, it did not begin spinning yet. Still, Alfonzo took a step forward and kicked Danzo over onto his back. Then, he ripped away the upper part of Danzo's kimono as well as the bandages covering his right arm.
When Danzo's right arm was revealed, it was imdiately obvious that it did not originally belong to him. Instead of a normal flesh color, the arm was a dull grey color. On top of that, there were ten more Sharingan embedded in the arm, the sight of which was enough to make Irene co out of hiding and appear next to Alfonzo.
"Oh, I thought you were gonna keep watching from the V.I.P. seats." Alfonzo said as soon as Irene broke her stealth.
"And I probably would have if I didn't see that." Irene replied while pointing at Danzo's arm with her left hand and swirling her glass of wine with her right. "What in the world did this man due to himself? I can tell that thing is slowly killing him."
"It's too much to explain." Alfonzo replied. "I'll send you the information."
With that, an [Archive Magic] screen popped into existence in front of Alfonzo. At the sa ti, he established a [Telepathic Link] with Irene. Then, he transferred the data on Danzo's arm to her.
"Quite disgusting." Irene said while furrowing her eyebrow. "Desecrating a man's grave for sothing like that? He might even be worse than my forr husband."
"Yeah, he's a real piece of shit." Alfonzo replied. "And if you saw the other shit he's been behind for the, so-called, greater good, you'd think your old husband was a saint by comparison."
Hearing that, Irene looked at Alfonzo skeptically. However, when she saw the seriously disgusted expression he was wearing, she was inclined to believe him.
"Maybe later." Irene said while shaking her head. "More importantly, what else are you going to do with him?"
"I'm gonna take the rest of the shit that doesn't belong to him." Alfonzo replied. Then, he bent over and slapped his left hand on Danzo's chest as he continued. "And I'm gonna make sure it hurts like a mother fucker."
In the next instant, the liquid tal on Alfonzo's hand spread over Danzo's chest.
"Argh~~~~~!" Danzo scread in pain as the liquid tal carved sigils into his skin.
A mont later, the liquid tal returned to Alfonzo's palm And when Danzo's chest was revealed again, all the sigils that were carved into it were filled with tal. And all the pieces of tal were filled with Alfonzo's magic power, which powered the sigils he inscribed into Danzo's body.
"What are those sigils for?" Irene asked, too lazy to inspect their aning with Alfonzo standing next to her.
Naturally, Danzo also wanted to know the answer to that question. However, he was in too much pain to verbalize his thoughts at the mont.
"Well, I think I told you about this before, but I've done a lot of research on giving people their senses through my Automail, right?" Alfonzo asked casually while looking down at the sigils he carved into Danzo. Then, after receiving a nod of acknowledgent from Irene, he continued. "Well, I applied a bit of that to this piece of shit. So, his sense of feel has been super-charged. Oh, and I added a little sothing so that he won't pass out from the pain, too."
"Oh… I guess he won't be enjoying himself very much, will he?" Irene asked with a sadistic smile on her face.
"No, he won't." Alfonzo replied in the coldest tone of the night.
anwhile, Danzo looked on in horror as Alfonzo stepped onto his right wrist with his left foot and stepped down onto his chest with his right. Then, Alfonzo made the saw blade on his right hand start spinning at high speed, the sound it produced making Danzo panic even more.
Then, under Danzo's terrified gaze, Alfonzo slowly lowered the spinning saw blade towards the old shinobi's shoulder. And every second was agonizing for Danzo's ntal health. However, just before the saw could start cutting into his shoulder, Alfonzo stopped. Then, he stood up and stopped the spinning blade.
"What's wrong?" Irene asked, having been expecting Alfonzo to cut off Danzo's transplanted arm.
"I almost forgot sothing." Alfonzo replied as he dispelled the saw blade. A mont later, he reached into the bag he was carrying and pulled out ten small bottles filled with the fluid used to preserve organic material. "I gotta take those out first."
As he spoke the last part, Alfonzo created a tal tray, that he made levitate next to him, and arranged the bottles on top of it. Then, he picked up one of the bottles. An instant later, his right hand shot down and plucked out one of the Sharingan imbedded in Danzo's arm.
"Argh~~~~~~~!" Danzo scread at the excruciating pain having an eye ripped out of his arm produced.
After that, Alfonzo dropped the eye in the bottle he was holding, capped the bottle, placed it back on the tray, and repeated the process nine more tis. And every ti Alfonzo plucked an eye out of Danzo's arm, his screams would echo over the Valley of the End, getting louder each ti.
"Oh, I forgot to ntion, your sensitivity increases the longer the sigils are active." Alfonzo said off-handedly after he stored the ten Sharingan in his bag and dispelled the tal tray. Then, he shrugged his shoulders as he continued. "Do with that information what you will."
A mont later, Alfonzo poked each of the holes the eyes left in Danzo's arm. And when he did, he left a bit of Techno Organic tal in each to heal the wounds. And this naturally caused Danzo even more pain.
By this point, tears were flowing from Danzo's eyes while foam was oozing from his mouth. However, neither Alfonzo nor Irene seed to care.
"Now that I'm done with that, I can get back to what I was about to do." Alfonzo said. "[tal Magic: Circular Cutter]."
Once again, a circular saw blade grew from the back of Alfonzo's hand. And once it was completely ford, it began spinning at high speed. Then, Alfonzo once again stepped on Danzo's wrist and chest as he lowered the saw blade towards Danzo's shoulder.
A mont later, Danzo's screams, much louder than before, rang out over the Valley of the end. And considering how long he scread, it was obvious that Alfonzo was taking his ti removing Danzo's implanted right arm.
Five hours later, with all the Root shinobi floating behind them, Alfonzo and Irene approached the gates of the village. Then, they handed all the prisoners over to the proper authorities after they arrived.
Naturally, Hiruzen was notified of Danzo's capture. However, he was completely confused when he saw the state Danzo was in. Other than his missing right arm and eye, Hiruzen could not see any visible injuries on his old friend. There weren't even any blood stains, other than the few drops on his face that were left over from when his eye was ripped out. But when he saw the lifeless look in Danzo's remaining eye, he could only wonder what Alfonzo put him through once he was caught.
