Chapter 96: Abnormalities Must Die!
To deal with Shimura Danzo, it would be best to ruin his reputation and quietly assassinate him. This vile man is too easy to eliminate.
However, more importantly, Yuma is determined to find Madara and kill him, seeking to gain the combat prowess of a super-shadow level fighter. After all, Madara is set to die around this time.
Minato-sensei is getting married soon, and Sasuke, who is slightly older than Naruto, will be born next year. If Sasuke is born, it means Uchiha Madara must die around now.
Since Madara's death is inevitable, wouldn't it be better to let him pass after accumulating "gold coins"?
Right now, Yuma is eager to disgrace Danzo and then eliminate him. He also wants to gain Madara's combat value.
Killing an old and frail Uchiha Madara, who has lost his original eyes, is no longer difficult for him. If Madara were in his prime or resurrected, it would be much more challenging, but at this stage, he's an easy target.
With that thought in mind, Yuma decided not to overthink things. To achieve his goals efficiently, he might need a bit of luck.
And just so happens, he has the "luck" entry in his system.
He looked at the only red entry on his panel: Indra.
[Indra (Red)] (Luck - 3 shares)
Over the past year and a half, Yuma had been active in the village, but without any major problems to overcome, he hadn't gained much extra luck.
Despite this, he had accumulated three modest shares of fortune, and it shouldn't be too hard to turn them into favorable outcomes to achieve his goals.
As he focused on his desires, the entry responded, trembling slightly.
In the blink of an eye, his three shares of fortune transformed into potent luck, aligning with his intentions and beginning to influence the world around him.
Shimura Danzo, angry at his failure to capture the mysterious "stranger," immediately regretted his reckless actions.
He had been furious with the person targeting Sarutobi Hiruzen, but at this point, Danzo realized that he could have been more diplomatic. He had been too hasty and now regretted not conspiring with this person to deal with Yuma and the Uchiha clan.
Danzo realized how easily this stranger had infiltrated Konoha and sneaked into his core area.
Now, he was considering how he might use the person to carry out some dirty deeds for him.
However, Danzo also knew he couldn't match Yuma in a physical confrontation. He was well aware of the Uchiha clan's Mangekyō Sharingan's immense power from his youth, having been saved many times by his 'good friend' Uchiha Kagami. Deep down, Danzo longed for that power.
"Next time I meet someone plotting against Konoha, I will be more tactful," Danzo mused, breathing a sigh of relief. He believed that this mysterious individual would come for him eventually and trusted this feeling without question.
Meanwhile, Black Zetsu, who had escaped Konoha, felt a sense of helplessness.
He hadn't expected Danzo's rejection. After living for thousands of years, he had encountered many people with Danzo's personality—outwardly righteous but inwardly full of treachery.
Black Zetsu couldn't pinpoint what he had said that had triggered Danzo's sensitive spot, but at that moment, a thought crossed his mind.
"Wait, I've got it… Danzo is someone who only cares about his own interests now," Black Zetsu thought. "I can still manipulate him. If I persist, I'll eventually succeed!"
However, Black Zetsu was also aware that their current combat strength wasn't enough to handle Yuma.
Uchiha Madara was old, unable to walk, and Uchiha Obito of that parallel world was hardly a threat. Despite his strong eyes, Obito's overall combat ability was nothing special for a Mangekyō Uchiha.
These two weren't enough to defeat Yuma.
But Black Zetsu was determined—Yuma had to be eliminated.
Years ago, Black Zetsu had sensed Yuma's eyes and realized that he was unaffected by his influence. That's when the idea of killing him first came to mind.
Black Zetsu couldn't afford to let such a unique Uchiha, stronger than even the reincarnation of Indra, continue to exist. He had too much potential to disrupt Black Zetsu's plans to revive his mother.
Regardless of the outcome, Black Zetsu was determined to deal with Yuma. There was no way someone like him would awaken the Rinnegan, so he must be dealt with.
The previous generation's abnormal Uchiha, like the terrifying Uchiha Hikaru, had been sealed away. Black Zetsu couldn't fathom how the Senju and Sarutobi clans managed to do that.
In this era, Yuma and Obito were considered abnormally powerful Uchiha, especially since Yuma had awakened two magatama without the Mangekyō.
Black Zetsu had seen enough. Abnormalities that couldn't be controlled needed to be eliminated.
