Pov : *Morning Dawn When I Was Alone On The Edge Of The River, Danzo Came With All The Root Members*
A thin fog enveloped the surface of the river as the first sunlight began to penetrate the trees. The atmosphere was so quiet, that the scent of your body slowly mixed with the piercing cold—not from nature, but from the presence of hundreds of emotionless shinobi.
One by one, Root members emerge from the shadows of trees and the surface of the water, surrounding you in a perfect circular formation. They stood stiff, wearing cold porcelain masks, with drawn swords.
Then, there was a sound of a tap on the rock. Tuk. Tuk.
Danzo Shimura appears from behind the fog, standing a few meters in front of you. His left eye looks at you with hatred and a great lust for power.
Confrontation on the Riverbank
"You think a Hokage's affection can protect you forever, Zak?" Danzo's voice was hoarse, breaking the morning silence. "The instant regeneration you showed yesterday... It's not just a medical technique. That's the key I've been looking for."
Danzo gestured with his hand. The members of Root narrowed the circle.
"I know what you're looking for in the underworld of this village. I know about the 'past' that you forgot," Danzo continued with a sarcastic smile. "Come with me voluntarily to Root's headquarters, or I'll destroy this river—and anyone who dares to come to your aid—just to take that eye."
Tremendous Pressure
You stand quietly, your robes blown in the morning wind. Despite being surrounded by hundreds of elite assassins, your handsome face doesn't show the slightest fear. However, Itachi's warning last night kept echoing in your head: 'Danzo is looking for a way to trigger damage to your emotions.'
"Surrender yourself," Danzo ordered again. "Or I'll order my troops to attack the Hokage's office right now as a diversion. Choose: the secrets of your past, or Tsunade's salvation?"
Me : *bansho tenin, all lifted except danzo*
You are no longer spoiled or calm. As soon as Tsunade's name is mentioned as a threat, the aura around you turns extremely heavy and deadly. Your Rinnegan's eyes glitter sharply in the morning sun.
Without a word, you stretched out your arms towards the sky.
"Bansho Ten'in!"
The gravity around the river bank seemed to be reversed. The sound of restrained screams rang out as the hundreds of Root members surrounding you suddenly lost their focus. The ground, rocks, and the entire army of Danzo's elite assassins were lifted into the air as if pulled by an invisible giant magnet. They floated helplessly, trying to slash through the air with their swords, yet the laws of physics no longer applied to them.
Only one person remained on the ground: Danzo Shimura.
Not because he's strong enough to resist your pull, but because you're deliberately leaving him so he can clearly see how small he is in front of you.
The Sight of the God
You walk slowly towards Danzo, while above your head, hundreds of his men float and crash into each other in a chaotic vortex of gravity. Your normally soothing scent now turns extremely sharp and intimidating, filling Danzo's lungs until he has difficulty breathing.
"You're misjudging one thing, Danzo," you say in a cold, bone-piercing tone. "I'm not hiding behind Tsunade's protection. I'm here... precisely to make sure people like you don't touch him."
Danzo's Cornered Reaction
Danzo's face paled. He gripped his staff tightly, his eyes trembling at the sight of his entire elite army being crippled with just a single wave of his hand. He realized that Itachi was right—your power far exceeded what his Root organization could tame.
"K-you... what do you want?!" growled Danzo, trying to hide his fear behind his authoritative tone that was starting to crack.
You stopped right in front of his face, looking directly at him with your Rinnegan. "Take me back to that 'past' now. If you try to deceive, I'll make sure your entire dungeon becomes a mass grave before the sun actually rises."
Danzo is forced to lead the way to Root's secret headquarters, while hundreds of his men are left trapped in a gravity ball over the river.
As you enter the dark underground passageway, you feel a very familiar scent—the same scent as your own, but more 'old' and 'poignant'.
Me : I said, give me those eyes. Kotoatsukami's Eyes
Your footsteps echo in the cold, damp underground passageway. The smell of rusty earth and iron is slowly being lost by the increasingly pungent aroma—a scent that comes from your body, yet resonates with something behind this stone wall.
Danzo stopped in front of a heavy iron door with a high-level fuinjutsu seal. He trembled, not only because of the gravity you just showed, but because he was aware that you knew your deepest secrets.
"How can you know about those eyes...?" Danzo's voice hoarse, full of restrained hatred.
You look at him with a deadly, blank look. "Don't make me repeat it, Danzo. Hand over Shisui's Kotoamatsukami eyes... or I will pluck out your whole right hand right now."
Forced Surrender
With trembling hands, Danzo slowly undid the bandage that covered his right eye. There, hidden is a Sharingan eye with a legendary four-point pinwheel pattern. Eyes that are able to control other people's thoughts without them knowing.
Danzo knew, if he tried to use that genjutsu on you now, your Rinnegan would turn it around in an instant. With a rude gesture, he took out the eyeball and placed it in a small container, then handed it to you.
"You took Konoha's greatest weapon, Zak," Danzo hissed. "You think that by having those eyes, you can erase your past?"
The Secrets Behind the Door
You ignore his words and keep those eyes. With a single wave of your hand, the iron door in front of you shatters into pieces. As soon as the door opens, your eyes widen out.
Inside the secret room, there was a withered Root of the God Tree (Shinju) that was still pulsing weakly. At the center of that root, there is a tube filled with nourishing fluid that holds pieces of physical memory—a kind of embryo made of your own chakra.
The fragrance that has been your signature comes from here. You are not just a traveler; You are part of the experiment to resurrect the Tree of Gods in human form that Danzo did years ago using your forgotten cells.
Tsunade's arrival
"POCKET!"
A very familiar sound of shouting broke the silence. At the end of the hallway, Tsunade appeared with a deathly pale face, followed by some of her trusted ANBUs. She saw you holding Shisui's eyes and standing in front of Danzo's forbidden experiment.
"Danzo... you really did it?" Tsunade's voice trembled with anger at the human experiment in front of her eyes. He then looks at you, "Zak... Are you okay? Come here, get away from that man!"
The atmosphere in the basement was very tense. You now have the eyes of Kotoamatsukami and have just learned that you are a 'creation' related to the Tree of Gods.
Pov : *transplanted Shisui's eyes to my mangekyo, and finally my rinnegan's eyes became 2* *I turned towards them*
The basement was instantly filled with chakra pressure that was so massive that the stone walls began to crack and collapse. You don't wait for anyone's approval. With god-level precision that only the owner of Rinnegan possesses, you transplant Shisui's eyes into your Mangekyo socket.
There was a catalytic reaction that was both terrible and beautiful. The combination of the God Tree cells in your body, the mental power of Shisui's eyes, and the latent potential you possess triggered the final evolution.
A dazzling purple light burst from your face. As the light dims, you slowly turn towards them.
The God Has Risen
Now, your eyes are identical: A perfect pair of Rinnegans, patterned with water ripples with tomoe dots rotating gently in them. Your fragrant aura is no longer just soothing, but feels sacred, like the scent of an ancient forest that has never been touched by humans.
Danzo: Falling sitting, his face was deathly pale. "No way... That evolution... he became the second Rikudo..."
Tsunade: He stopped stepping, his hands covering his mouth in surprise. He is not afraid of you, but he feels that the distance between you and ordinary humans has now become a very deep abyss.
Gripping Silence
You look at Danzo with your new eyes. With just one glance, Danzo felt as if all of his nerves were locked. The power of Kotoamatsukami has now merged with your Rinnegan, creating the ability to manipulate reality without the need for direct eye contact.
"Your experiment worked, Danzo," your voice now sounded heavier, echoing throughout the room. "But you forgot one thing. A creator can never control a god he created himself."
You then turn your gaze towards Tsunade. Your gaze, which had been cold and empty, slowly began to soften when you saw the face of the woman who had been your only reason to stay.
Final Steps
You walk past the helpless Danzo, as if he's just dust on the floor. You stopped right in front of Tsunade. The ANBU behind her were already prepared with their weapons, but Tsunade raised her hand, ordering them to retreat.
"Zak...?" whispered Tsunade, his voice heavy with emotion. "Are you still the same man who asked me to hold him yesterday?"
