Unlike the original plot where Danzo and Orochimaru collaborated before transplanting the Sharingan and Hashirama cells, Danzo, after trading with Muzan Kibutsuji and obtaining the Demon King's cells, researched them and immediately performed a transplant surgery on himself.
No one craved the power of the Uchiha and Senju more than Danzo, a ninja without a Kekkei Genkai!
He had long coveted the Sharingan and Hashirama cells, and with a decent success rate, how could he possibly hold back?
Unfortunately.
Muzan Kibutsuji was just a low-level world boss. His cells had some effect, but not as effective as Danzo expected!
The demons in the Demon Slayer world indeed possess terrifying vitality.
But that's only relative.
Even with Muzan Kibutsuji's cells transplanted, Danzo still had trouble ignoring the terrifying invasive nature of Hashirama cells!
He simply relied on the vitality brought by the Demon King's cells, constantly regenerating his body, mutually offsetting, preventing him from being turned into a tree by the Hashirama cells.
This was ultimately not the state Danzo desired!
He wanted to perfectly control the power of Hashirama cells!
Become the second Wood Style ninja, re-enact the might of the God of Shinobi!
"Then I will pray to the gods, for the divine grace to perfectly fuse with Hashirama cells!"
"Once I have the Wood Style, it will be the day I ascend to the Hokage!"
Just you wait, Sarutobi.
That day won't be too far away.............
Slowly moving his legs, Danzo's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
..............................
Shinobi are highly efficient.
Building an altar about 100 square feet took just over an hour.
Yashiro Nono, who had already made up her mind to die, was bathed and dressed and brought to the center of the altar.
Danzo ordered all the Anbu to stay away from the altar, and alone, he walked to the front of the altar.
He performed the sacrifice ritual according to the prayer words provided by the chat group.
"In the abyss of the profound universe, stars shine with their eternal light!"
"I call upon you, the all-knowing and all-powerful, the One who unites all!"
"Great Dream Lord, Weaver of Time and Space."
"You are the source of truth! You are the end of destiny! You are the immortal creator!"
"Your humble servant Danzo, offers the sacrifice, Yashiro Nono, and hereby requests your merciful gaze!"
Like singing, after uttering this long prayer that people in the Naruto world wouldn't understand at all,
Danzo knelt on both knees and kowtowed deeply.
Awaiting the arrival of the great one.
This scene stunned Yashiro Nono.
She thought she knew too much, crossed Danzo's bottom line, so he found an excuse to sacrifice her and get rid of her.
But..................
Danzo was actually serious?!
He really seemed to be sacrificing to some great god!
Yashiro Nono was confused.
Does this world really have gods?
Even if it does, shouldn't it be the Sage of Six Paths?
What the heck is the One who unites all?
At this moment, Yashiro Nono hadn't realized that she was the only one who understood Danzo's prayer.
The Root shinobi guarding the perimeter couldn't understand a single word.
No!
To be precise, the moment the ritual began.
The Root shinobi lost their perception of the outside world, even their connection to this space!
The reason was simple.
It was just a protective measure.
Even if Lu Ming couldn't enter the Naruto world in his true form, he could only cast a meager gaze, which was beyond the endurance of ordinary ninjas.
Even the Naruto world itself might not be able to withstand it.
So, the moment the ritual began, this space became a separate entity.
It would not affect anyone.
Time passed, second by second.
Danzo had been kneeling for over a minute, but there was no sign of the so-called "divine grace."
But he didn't give up, he remained motionless in the same posture.
Danzo believed that the chat group wouldn't lie.
His sincerity would surely move the great One who unites all!
"He's quite a dutiful fellow."
Lu Ming, who had successfully connected to the Naruto world through the ritual, chuckled in the barren land: "Since that's the case, then bestow the divine grace. After seeing Danzo's success, I believe the other group members will be tempted too. The worlds I can control will only increase!"
"Once the worlds accumulate to a certain number, it will be my time to leave the barren land!"
As he spoke, Lu Ming's thoughts moved.
A mighty, incomprehensible, ineffable divine power instantly crossed the barriers of endless worlds and came before Danzo!
Although this wisp of power was insignificant, it was only relative!
What Lu Ming considered insignificant seemed like world-ending to Danzo!
It was as if billions of brilliant stars had coalesced, a great existence that mortals could not understand!
He stood at the center of the heavens, possessing all knowledge and power!
Omniscient and omnipotent, eternal and indestructible!
A single thought could create the birth of billions of worlds.
The next thought, billions of worlds collapsed!
Terrifying!
Extremely terrifying!
Just one glance, Danzo almost lost all self-awareness and was assimilated by the vast amount of information carried by the great god.
You must know that this was because of the protection of the ritual!
If the god had descended directly, Danzo wouldn't dare imagine how miserable he would be!
After truly witnessing the might of the god, he felt even more fervent and more humble.
He kowtowed deeply, not daring to raise his head.
While Yashiro Nono stared痴痴地 at the aggregation of brilliant stars before her, which seemed like the world itself, or the embodiment of truth.
She muttered unconsciously: "So beautiful................."
"This is the true god!"
"The Sage of Six Paths, I guess he can't even withstand a single thread of the great One who unites all?"
What made Yashiro Nono even more excited was that.
As long as the great One who unites all accepted Danzo's sacrifice, she would be the witch who serves the true god in the future!
Isn't this a hundred times better than being a ninja?
Ninja?
Not even dogs would be one!
