Only by witnessing the true form of the Divine can one understand how ridiculous the so-called "Ninshū" and the Six Paths Sage are, tales that ninjas endlessly glorify!
If creating a moon grants one the title of "God," then what is this being before us, the "All Things Unifier?"
To revere the Six Paths Sage as a god is an insult to the truly magnificent Divine!
Yashirononoyū wasn't the only one who thought so. Danzo, who had also witnessed the descent of even a sliver of Lu Ming's power, was overwhelmed with emotion!
His entire body trembled!
This was a primal instinct, a response humans have when encountering beings of such overwhelming greatness that they cannot comprehend.
Any lingering doubts in his heart had vanished like smoke.
‘The Chat Group didn't lie!’
‘His Majesty, the All Things Unifier, is truly an omniscient and omnipotent god!’
Danzo roared these words silently in his mind, his respect for Lu Ming deepening with every passing moment.
His demeanor became increasingly humble.
He realized this was his chance!
If he could gain the favor of the Divine, the mere mortal realm would be insignificant. Even surpassing the legendary Six Paths Sage would be a mere trifle!
But how could he earn the favor of His Majesty, the All Things Unifier?
Danzo subtly glanced at Yashirononoyū, then recalled the Chat Group's description of Lu Ming. His sharp intellect whirred, and an idea began to form.
He couldn't be sure if it would work, but doing nothing was simply unacceptable!
And so, the next moment, this happened:
【Group member, the Shadow of the Ninja World, has opened their live stream!】
【Group member, I Want to Sunbathe, and group member, Worm Magician, have joined the live stream!】
【I Want to Sunbathe: This is.............. a sacrificial ritual? Danzo, have you already begun the ritual?!】
Danzo, of course, couldn't respond. In his understanding, offering a sacrifice to the Divine required sincerity.
Would a wavering heart not invite death?
But Danzo's answer was irrelevant. The old worm, Zouken Matou, provided confirmation.
【Worm Magician: No need to ask. If I'm not mistaken, the being we see in the live stream, only a glimpse of the being, like countless stars forming a majestic entity, is surely His Majesty, the All Things Unifier?】
【Worm Magician: How magnificent! What beauty! Just a passing glance nearly shattered my soul! In its wake came an endless stream of knowledge! If I could comprehend even a billionth of it, I would surely become a magic user who controls the "laws of reality"】
【I Want to Sunbathe: Strange. Why don't I feel that way? But.............. I feel like my body is getting stronger!】
Since this was a live stream, Zouken Matou and Muzan Kibutsuji's conversation appeared directly on Danzo's retinas.
Seeing their words, Danzo finally understood.
So simply witnessing the true form of His Majesty, the All Things Unifier, grants one blessings!
Zouken Matou received knowledge, Muzan Kibutsuji gained strength, and what about me?
What did I receive?
Danzo didn't dare explore the changes within himself. There was no need to be so hasty. He was the first to offer a sacrifice in the group. Would he be denied the favor of His Majesty, the All Things Unifier?
With this thought, Danzo's heart burned with even greater fervor.
He kowtowed deeply, speaking with fervent humility: “Oh, Great All Things Unifier!”
“Your existence shines like the stars!”
“Your humble follower, Danzo, prays that you will forever endure like the universe!”
Like the universe?
Lu Ming chuckled.
But he didn't explain anything.
Danzo's understanding of the universe was the limit of his knowledge.
Anything beyond that would exceed his comprehension.
It would be like explaining the beauty of winter snow to a cicada, or describing the brilliance of moonlight to a mayfly.
It would be an utterly ludicrous act.
But Danzo was perceptive. He had the good sense to open a live stream and bring the other members of the group along.
That was worth praising.
With a mere thought, Lu Ming, spanning countless universes, commanded the meager power in the Naruto world to respond.
In the eyes of the other group members and Yashirononoyū, the cluster of stars coalesced, forming a waterfall of starlight that enveloped Danzo.
It encased him completely.
The next moment.
Danzo's once-pale skin returned to its natural color.
The uncontrollable Hashirama cells, like tamed beasts, became entirely his power!
Even the multiple Sharingan implanted in his arm now seemed like natural organs!
But the surprises didn't stop there!
Danzo, intuitively understanding, forcefully ripped away the bandages on his head, revealing the Sharingan in his right eye socket!
The three black tomoe in this Sharingan spun relentlessly, eventually merging into a magnificent, ornate pattern!
This is.............
“The Mangekyō Sharingan!”
Danzo was overjoyed, feeling the overwhelming power of his right eye.
He knew, this was the extra blessing given by the great All Things Unifier!
As for the tamed Hashirama cells?
Those were a reward for the sacrifice!
‘Truly a god, able to see into one's heart!’
Danzo marveled in his mind, unable to help but think: offering just one Yashirononoyū yielded such bountiful rewards.
If he were to sacrifice all the young women of Konoha, or even the young women of the entire world as his priestesses...................
Then the Divine's blessings would surely surpass all imagination, wouldn't they?
Lu Ming, to Danzo's thoughts, said "yes."
Only with his constant sacrifices could Lu Ming increase his connection with the Naruto world, gradually transforming it to the point where his true form could briefly descend.
After spending so long in the wasteland, Lu Ming was thoroughly bored!
If he could go outside and have some fun, it would be ideal.
And as for Danzo using young women as sacrifices?
That was a good thing.
The best way for Lu Ming to retain his remaining humanity was to form bonds with other life, to develop emotions.
Young women were undoubtedly the best choice. After all, Lu Ming couldn't be like Zeus and have a two-way plug, could he?
That would be disgusting.
The starlight dissipated.
Danzo felt reborn.
He stared dumbfounded at his hands, clearly sensing the surging power within him!
‘I could probably kill that monkey in one blow now!’
‘Haha, monkey, monkey, what good is being favored by your teacher? I have the support of His Majesty, the All Things Unifier! This means I am the true heir!’
‘One day, I will become the true Hokage!’
However, Danzo's joy didn't last long. He saw the remaining starlight, roughly ninety-nine percent of it, surging into Yashirononoyū's body!
