DANZŌ (contained rage):
— Eliminate the summons! Isolate the target!
Six Root shinobi shoot forward, but Jin-Woo vanishes.
ROOT 02 (shouting):
— Where is he?! Where's the target?! HE—
A snap. Jin-Woo appears behind the ANBU, who falls with his throat slashed before reacting. No jutsu. No technique. Just speed and lethal intent.
DANZŌ (activating seals):
— Prolonged Paralysis Seal!
The air vibrates for an instant. But Jin-Woo is already on the other side of the field. Another ANBU flies, chest caved in. He's not defending. He's hunting.
Danzō jumps to the ground. The sharingan behind his bandage activates, and his right arm pulses beneath the wrappings.
DANZŌ (low):
— Izanagi.
Jin-Woo vanishes. In half a second, he appears again — right in front of Danzō. A direct punch hits the old man's face, launching him backward through two trees before crashing into a rock.
But the body vanishes in smoke. A clone using Izanagi. Danzō reappears behind Jin-Woo, a kunai at his neck.
Except…
...Jin-Woo grabs his arm in the air. Without even looking back.
JIN-WOO (emotionless):
— You live in a world where "secret technique" is just an excuse for weakness.
He snaps Danzō's arm with a dry crack. Kicks his chest with brutal force. The Root leader's body is launched like a projectile, tearing through the sealing barrier.
Danzō rolls on the ground, trying to get up. His right arm now visible — multiple Sharingans implanted up to the fingers. But it hangs limp, broken in three places.
DANZŌ (bloody, spitting blood):
— You… bastard… You don't understand the balance of this world. You've been here for days and think you can—
—CRACK!—
Jin-Woo appears out of nowhere and grabs him by the throat, lifting him off the ground with one hand.
JIN-WOO (dark eyes):
— I didn't come to balance your world.
— I came to destroy whoever dares stand between me…
— …and the truth.
He punches Danzō in the stomach with enough force to embed him into the stone wall. The wall cracks from the impact. The right arm bends backward at an impossible angle. The bandage flies off — revealing the main Sharingan, now burning in despair.
Igris slams his sword into the ground, inches from Danzō's head, without any order. Beru lands just above, eyes fixed on the remaining ANBUs, who don't dare move.
Danzō lies on the ground, body crushed against the wall, right arm useless, and the bandana torn off — revealing the hidden Sharingan.
Jin-Woo walks slowly, cold eyes indifferent to the blood. The surrounding shadows vibrate, some taking threatening shapes. A snap, and Igris slams his sword into the ground, inches from Danzō's head.
JIRAIYA (shouting from above, running):
— JIN-WOO, ENOUGH!
TSUNADE (right behind):
— DON'T DO THIS! HE'S ONE OF OURS!
NARUTO (frozen, confused):
— He... he was really going to kill Danzō… without hesitation…
KAKASHI (already with the sharingan active):
— That aura… this isn't just chakra…
— It's like looking at something… beyond ninja war.
JIRAIYA (thinking):
"This guy isn't just powerful... he doesn't belong in this world.How are we going to control someone like that?Will he ever truly be on our side?"
TSUNADE (thinking):
"If Jin-Woo wanted to, none of us would leave here alive.Not even me, with all my strength and experience.This... is a monster in human skin."
KAKASHI:
"This isn't a technique.This is supremacy.And he's not even sweating."
NARUTO:
"He looks lonely.Dangerous... but lonely.Like I used to be. Maybe worse.But he stopped... because he listened."
Jin-Woo stops. His eyes turn to Kakashi.
"Your eye... is the same as Tobi's!Just like the ones on his arm."
Jin-Woo keeps Danzō pinned against the shattered rock wall. His left hand lifts the mutilated right arm of the old man — where dozens of red eyes stare at him, cold and still. Sharingans. Stolen eyes.
JIN-WOO (cold, without changing tone):
— They all came from the same source, didn't they?
He throws the useless arm to the ground. The flesh creaks like rotten wood.
No one answers. Not from fear. But because no one knows what to say.
KAKASHI
He steps forward. Voice low, rough.
— This... is real?
— He implanted… dozens of Sharingans?
The Sharingan in his own eye glows instinctively. He clenches his fist, jaw locked.
KAKASHI (low, to himself):
— How many lives… did he take for this?
NARUTO (eyes wide):
— But… why?!
— This isn't… this isn't from Konoha!
He stares at Danzō as if seeing an invader. An enemy inside his own village.
NARUTO (to Jin-Woo):
— You... you thought he was the enemy all along?
TSUNADES
he steps forward, but not impulsively. Her gaze goes from the eyes on Danzō's arm to his wrecked face.
Then she closes her eyes for a moment. Takes a deep breath.
TSUNADE:
— This explains so much.
— Missing missions. Silent deaths. Disappearances…
— All hidden under the excuse of "village security."
She opens her eyes, now cold. Fixed on Danzō.
TSUNADE (blunt):
— You crossed the line a long time ago, you bastard.
JIRAIYA (low, grim):
— This is bigger than any of us thought.
— Jin-Woo saw in days… what we ignored for years.
He doesn't approach. Just observes. Studies Jin-Woo, the way his eyes analyze everything with inhuman coldness.
JIRAIYA (thought):
"This guy isn't driven by diplomacy. Or honor.He acts when he sees injustice....And it looks like he already sees more than we can handle."
BERU (with distorted, low voice, speaking only to Jin-Woo):
— My king… shall I consume this trash?
JIN-WOO (still looking at the eyes on the arm):
— No.
He turns away, leaving Danzō on the ground like a broken doll.
JIN-WOO:
— Now everyone's seen it.
— This isn't peace.
— It's rot dressed as tradition.
Silence swallows the forest. Danzō can't even move. The Root ANBUs, in shock, look to Tsunade — and she doesn't even care about them.
NARUTO (thinking):
"If it were me… if I had that power…would I have done the same?"
KAKASHI (still staring at the arm):
— The war never ended.
— It just got quiet… inside our own home.
A silence spreads — heavy, suffocating.
Kakashi widens his visible eye. Doubt, fear, truth forced to the surface.
KAKASHI (swallowing hard):
— …How do you know this?
JIN-WOO (direct):
— Because it was that eye… that looked at me before disappearing into a dimensional rift.
Tsunade approaches slowly, tense.
TSUNADE:
— What are you saying? You saw the Masked Man?
JIN-WOO:
— He saw me first.
The wind blows through the branches. Nothing else moves. The world seems frozen.
JIRAIYA (serious):
— He's at the center of everything, isn't he?
JIN-WOO:
— He…
— ...is the key for me to return home.
A new determination lights in everyone's eyes. But so does doubt. Danzō is unconscious. The truth bleeds on the ground. And Jin-Woo's presence, now with practically infinite chakra, has become a turning point in the ninja world.
"At that moment, the leaders of the Hidden Leaf Village understood...Jin-Woo was no longer a visitor.He was a new center of gravity."
