Chapter 20: Danzo II
........
"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
Gravity Release, a very complex special nature. Some in the world are already capable of manipulating gravity just through Earth release, but they certainly can not do something like this.
"Come back here... Gravity Release: Black Hole," It's of course not a real black hole. The concept is way out of Isaac's league right now. It more so mimics the workings of black holes.
Therefore, it was no surprise that the cold brainwashed machines that are the Roots' members found themselves pulled toward the dark orb hovering before Isaac's hand/
And then there was lightning, ever brilliant lightning as Isaac swung the blade that appeared in his hand, releasing an arc of pure destruction.
"Oh?" Isaac raised a brow as he stepped back, the black hole dissipating directly after as maintaining it is extremely chakra consuming.
The arcs of lightning dissipated to reveal Danzo standing before him, the Root members rapidly falling back.
Surprisingly, only two Roots were caught in the arc of destructions, left as burned destroyed corpses.
The savior of the pitful killing machines was what seemed to be Danzo's summon, a giant tapir-like creature known as Baku.
The creature seems to be able to produce a suction force so strong that it countered the black hole, thus saving most of the Roots.
"Go," Said Danzo coldly, "Go back and secure the base." The Roots were very obedient, obeying his orders without a single question.
"I underestimated you... You are different from the rest of the Uchihas," Danzo murmured as he pulled his kunai, "That's why I will do everything in my power to get rid of you!"
Ah, how Danzo wished he could snap Isaac out of existence for he realized that the kid is more dangerous than he could've ever imagined.
After all, before him stood just a clone, yet it showed such a power. That's scary.
However, not something Danzo couldn't deal with as he traced his fingers across his kunai, leaving behind a clear trail of chakra, a greenish chakra that basically turned the kunai into a long blade.
That's simply Danzō adding wind-natured chakra onto his kunai, easier said than done.
When he swung his kunai, despite being a distance away, his attack was still able to reach Isaac as it released a vast wind blade that split everything in its way.
Isaac didn't react to the attack, allowing it to pass through him, and with a poof, the clone dissipated.
"Damn you! Uchiha!!" All that was left were Danzo's howls in the dark, left breathing heavily not only in wrath but also in fear... Just what kind of monster was born from those damned Uchihas?
He had gotten the information he was looking for, 'The main body's chakra reserves are about 0.6 Danzo units.'
Isaac got a rough idea of the reserves of Danzo after the latter showed his hand.
That allowed him to judge his own reserves that while are ridiculous for his age, they are nowhere near enough for him to show his edge.
Isaac is now suffering from the problem of having many techniques, yet not being able to show their full potential.
Just like before, he first judged that he could keep his Mangekyo Sharingan for a full two minutes, yet his chakra was emptied in seconds due to the other techniques he used.
The most consuming of which was Swift Release, something that's supposed to be a Bloodline Limit, yet Isaac was able to use it because of the Harmony Of Elements.
Isaac was able to bypass the requirement of bloodline at the cost of having to pay so much more to use it. Special chakra natures are extremely consuming for him.
That's something the clones can not overcome as of yet. Even the main body can not completely overcome the problem.
Isaac can use his clones as a source of chakra, dissipating them whenever needed to have an effectively infinite pool of chakra... If his body can handle the process.
Just like the clones' transfer of information negatively affects his mental, so does the transfer of chakra as it puts an absurd burden on his chakra pathways. Therefore, that's not something that can be abused.
That's why everything that happened today happened the way it did, simply because Isaac needed access to Danzo's base.
The Root was a branch of Konohagakure's Anbu training subdivision under the complete control of Danzo.
In fact, they take Danzo's orders as the reasons for their being, more loyal to the latter than the Hokage.
The organization's top priority was its secrecy, and most of its missions were carried out in the dark, autonomous of Konoha's authority.
Therefore, even the Root's core base is very well hidden, very far away from the core of the village.
That allowed for one of the most horrific scenes to take place, perfectly crafted by the kindest of souls.
Blood, blood, and more blood scattered about. Blood-red eyes moved about, all in the silent dark hallways of the base.
The blood-red eyes were many, but one of them was special as his eyes were different, akin to a cosmic vortex, mostly wine red, but with blue and purple specks here and there.
That specific Isaac was different than the rest, for he could handle the consumption of Mangekyo Sharingan.
The passive Eternal Refinement's consumption is already quite low when in comparison with other Mangekyo Sharingan abilities, but the latter is mostly active while the former is passive.
That means that it's always at work, thus endless consumption. The benefit is its extraordinary effect such as the simple specks of blue and purple in Isaac's eyes.
That's an anomaly when it comes to Sharingan as its colors compromise of red and black. Eternal Refinement was subtly transforming itself into a more perfect version.
"Could I have fixed them?" Isaac wondered as he pulled back his blade from the heart of the now-dead body before him, lightning crackling around its sharp edges.
Just like Danzo, Isaac is able to coat weapons with various chakra natures.
"I could, but at what cost? And how much time would that require?" It's at times like this that Isaac realizes his inadequacy most as he finds himself incompetent.
The Roots are the victims of Danzo, the light that turned into darkness, corrupted by the evil in men.
Root is an extremely strict and secretive group, and as such, each member of the organization had a cursed seal imprinted on the back of their tongues by Danzō.
When activated, the curse seal would paralyze their entire body if they tried to speak anything about Danzō or the organization, rendering them unable to speak or move.
Danzō had also trained its members to lose their emotions by growing up as brothers from a young age, only to later be made to kill each other. This was done to kill any sense of sentiment or emotional attachment.
They are the emotionless machines created by Danzo, and he isn't that special of a case. Many military villages employ similar methods to train their lapdogs.
"I am truly a failure," Isaac murmured as he stepped over the body, heading to his destination.
How he went about this all was imperfect, he knew that, yet he still went with it, not just because perfection is impossible, but also because he'd rather be perfecting the world as a whole than these poor souls.
Isaac would hate to admit it, but a part of him had accepted imperfection, a part that didn't exist in his previous world.
It's something he hates himself for but is also thankful for because he never wants to be the loser that he was in his previous life.
Isaac was an indecisive garbage of a human being who had lived the hollowest of lives simply because he was afraid of doing anything, afraid of imperfection.
Therefore, Isaac walked forward without looking back until he reached his destination, "I want to thank you, Danzo, but I can not for it's your failure that led me here, to stand before these lovely things."
Before several blueish test tubes which house one of the most magical things in the world, "Hashirama Cells."
The Hashirama Cells are artificial cells cultivated from The First Hokage's DNA, which ultimately grants the receiver of the cells some of the traits and abilities of Hashirama Senju.
They are one of the only things that would allow Eternal Refinement to truly show its true potential.
