Chapter 165 - Chapter 165: Danzo — Nah, I’d Win

Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue —one of Gojo Satoru's most famous techniques in Jujutsu Kaisen.

Its effect resembles the attraction force of the Rinnegan's Universal Pull, but because it's born from negative cursed energy and infinity itself, its destructive potential far surpasses it.

With enough output, Blue can collapse space into itself, tearing reality apart like a miniature singularity.

Even though Gojo Satoru had fallen to Sukuna in the latest manga, his techniques remained legendary.

Now, strengthened by the system of the unfortunate transmigrator, Danzo's stolen version of these powers had already surpassed Gojo's original level.

That overwhelming confidence was why Danzo dared to strike in public—he believed himself invincible.

"Boom!"

A blue-energy sphere, pulsing with infinite attraction, erupted like a miniature black hole. It pierced straight through Namikaze Minato's abdomen, nearly ripping his body in half.

Only scraps of flesh and skin kept him connected, while his ribs, spine, and organs were utterly obliterated.

And the devastation didn't stop there.

The strong force continued onward, shattering Koharu Utatane's head before she could even react in her sleep.

It then blasted through the Hokage's office building, smashing into the Hokage Rock itself.

The mountain trembled, cracks spreading as sections collapsed.

"Th-This…!"

Minato's wide eyes shook with disbelief. He never once imagined he'd be ambushed in the very heart of Konoha's power.

He hadn't even been able to weave a hand seal for the Flying Thunder God Jutsu before the attack struck.

"Danzo! Are you insane!? Koharu was our comrade! You actually—!"

"Minato! Damn it… what's going on!? Why would Elder Danzo attack the Hokage!?"

The conference room fell into chaos. The high-ranking officials could only stare in shock at the sight of Minato collapsing and Koharu's lifeless corpse.

Danzo had always been ruthless, but he was still Konoha's elder, a man obsessed with becoming Hokage. Why would he suddenly massacre allies in the open?

Only Uchiha Miyuki understood.

Danzo was no longer the same man. After devouring the soul of an unlucky transmigrator, he had inherited knowledge of the original plot and gained powers from another world—Gojo Satoru's cursed techniques.

And now, emboldened by the mission from the mysterious chat group, he had chosen open rebellion.

Still, even Miyuki hadn't expected him to strike at such a brazen moment, with almost every top official of Konoha gathered in one place. His arrogance was terrifying.

"Be careful, everyone! He's not the Danzo we knew anymore!"

Her Mangekyō Sharingan flared as she summoned a skeletal arm of Susanoo, shielding Kushina and Rin before retreating.

Danzo's hands rose again, movements calm—almost like a dancer.

"Cursed Technique Reversal: Blue!"

A crushing pull exploded outward. Space warped violently, sucking everything toward him like a miniature black hole.

Unlike the Rinnegan's Banshō Ten'in, this attraction wasn't just a pull—it shredded and collapsed everything it touched.

"Boom! Boom! Boom—!!"

Walls imploded. Beams twisted into splinters. Several unlucky officials were dragged in before they could escape.

"Ahhh!"

Two screams tore through the air. Akimichi Chōza of the Ino–Shika–Chō trio, along with Mitokado Homura, were crushed under the impossible gravity, reduced to nothing but blood and flesh.

"Mito! Chōza!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the survivors stared in horror. For Hiruzen, Homura wasn't just a comrade—they had stood as the Second Hokage's guards together for decades.

For the Yamanaka and Nara, seeing Chōza perish was like watching family die before their eyes.

Grief and rage nearly consumed them.

"Don't lose your heads! Everyone, together—Danzo has betrayed Konoha!" Uchiha Fugaku roared, forming seals as flames swelled in his chest. "Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!"

A blazing dragon surged forward, scales of fire roaring as it dove at Danzo. Fugaku's hatred was personal—Danzo had always oppressed the Uchiha. Now he had his chance for vengeance.

"Let me add to that!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice cut through the chaos. Unlike in his old age, he was still in his prime, hands weaving seals at a blinding pace.

"Ninja Art: Lightning Water Dragon Bomb!"

A massive water dragon surged forth, wrapped in crackling lightning, crashing toward Danzo with annihilating force.

Orochimaru, Koharu's old teammate, also acted without hesitation.

"Wind Style: Cutting Blades!"

Shadows surged as Nara Shikaku pinned his hands together—

"Shadow Possession Jutsu!"

And from the Yamanaka, a desperate cry—

"Mind Transfer Jutsu!"

Every high-ranking shinobi in the room unleashed their fury.

Danzo had crossed the line.

Now, all of Konoha would cut him down.

From Uchiha Miyuki's vantage point high above, clutching Kushina and Rin in Susanoo's skeletal arm, the battlefield below looked surreal—like a chaotic boss fight from some otherworldly game.

Flames, water dragons, thunderbolts, shadows, and blades of wind all collided at once, shaking the very foundation of Konoha.

"Miyuki! Don't hold us back! We have to fight too!"

Kushina and Rin twisted against Susanoo's grip, their eyes burning with determination. Both were kunoichi loyal to Konoha—they could not just watch as Danzo massacred their comrades.

But Miyuki's grip only tightened.

"Well…"

Kushina bit down, calling out with fury: "Kurama! Give me your power!"

"No!"

Miyuki's Mangekyō spun violently as she snapped her gaze toward their abdomens, her voice sharp as a kunai.

"If you let those beasts interfere… and His Highness Jaeger decides to erase you for good—you'll never come back! Do you understand!?"

The oppressive authority in her voice froze even the tailed beasts themselves. Within Kushina and Rin, both Kurama and Isobu fell silent, retracting their chakra instantly.

"…Sorry, Kushina. Sorry, Rin," the two bijū murmured.

Kushina stared wide-eyed. "Miyuki!? Even Fugaku is down there! He's your kin! Why are you—"

"Because if Danzo has truly inherited Limitless… and even Domain Expansion… then not even the Third Hokage and all of Konoha's top brass can win against him!" Miyuki's voice cut coldly, no longer the usual fawning tone.

Her expression was deadly serious.

The words stunned Kushina and Rin into silence. For the first time, they realized Miyuki wasn't running away—she was desperately protecting them.

But could Danzo truly be that terrifying? Against the Hokage, the clan heads, and thousands of Konoha shinobi that would soon arrive?

"BOOOOM!"

A storm of jutsu crashed down on Danzo like heaven's judgment. Explosions deafened ears and choked vision with smoke and fire. The office building collapsed completely, leaving a crater in its place.

Sarutobi Hiruzen squinted through the haze. "Did it work!? Shikaku, Inoichi—report!"

Nara Shikaku's face was pale, sweat dripping. "No… it failed, Lord Third! My shadow can't even connect. It's like… there's a barrier warping the distance. No matter how I stretch it, I can't reach him!"

Yamanaka Inoichi's voice trembled. "Me too! My Mind Transfer just… slid off. It's not that he blocked it—It's like the very space between us stretched into infinity. No matter what, my technique will never touch him!"

A slow clap… clap… clap echoed from the smoke.

"Well said, Inoichi," Danzo's voice drawled, carrying eerie amusement. "To grasp a fraction of my ability so quickly… truly impressive. Your worth outshines Shikaku's strategy and Chōza's strength. Knowledge is the sharpest weapon, after all."

The smoke parted.

Danzo stood there without a single scratch. Not even dust dared cling to his clothes.

Around him floated a nightmarish scene: flames froze mid-air, water dragons hung in splintered fragments, lightning bolts stopped inches from his skin, shadows stretched endlessly yet never reached him.

Even Inoichi's mental energy rippled visibly in the air, trapped and suspended.

All of Konoha's combined ninjutsu… had been rendered meaningless.

"This is…" Fugaku's eyes widened, Sharingan trembling. "What the hell…? Some kind of kekkei genkai limit?!"

"No," Danzo's one visible eye glowed with cruel satisfaction. "This is Limitless: Infinity."

He raised his hand lazily, as if daring them to try again.

"Now then… shall I show you the true despair of infinity?"

Orochimaru's golden eyes narrowed as he licked the corner of his mouth, his serpentine voice dripping with greed.

"Such beautiful blue eyes… If the Yamanaka is right, then this is no mere space-time technique. Perhaps… something akin to the Sharingan or Byakugan? A kekkei genkai even rarer?"

Danzo smiled faintly, the eerie glow of his new eyes reflecting in the ruined chamber.

"Yes. These eyes are the Six Eyes, the Pupils of Sky. Their clarity surpasses even the Byakugan's perception. But more importantly—only with these eyes can I truly wield this ability."

He spread his arms as if presenting a gift.

"The Limitless, the technique of infinity. Its essence is simple: the world itself shrinks every distance toward me, endlessly dividing space, endlessly approaching—yet never reaching. No matter what you do… you will never touch me."

"Wh-What!?" Fugaku's Sharingan spun violently, disbelief written across his face. "If that's true… then no attack can harm him at all!"

"Foolishness!" Hyūga Hizashi snarled. His pride as a Byakugan user burned hot, unwilling to concede. "As if any eye technique could surpass the Byakugan! I'll show you!"

He blurred forward, chakra bursting from every tenketsu.

"Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Hizashi's strikes fell like lightning, palms hammering toward Danzo's vital points in a storm of precision. Even if half landed, it would shatter any foe's chakra network completely.

But

"…It's not hitting…!?"

Sweat rolled down his face. Despite striking at full force, every palm stopped short, trembling as though colliding with an invisible wall. His arms ached, his joints burned, and still he could not lay a finger on Danzo.

"This… this is impossible! Infinity…!?"

Danzo didn't even flinch. He yawned, watching Hizashi exhaust himself.

"Are you finished, head of the Hyūga clan? You should be grateful. After all, you're the father of the future heiress, the Princess of the Byakugan. I'll spare you… for now."

His words carried a meaning none but Miyuki understood—an ominous awareness of the future.

Then, Danzo raised two fingers to his face. A wicked smile split his lips.

"Domain Expansion…"

An oppressive aura burst outward, crushing the room under suffocating pressure.

"Not good!" Hiruzen's instincts screamed. "Stop him, now! Five Style Great Explosion Technique!"

"Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!" Orochimaru roared, a wave of serpents surging from his arms.

"Shadow Possession Jutsu!" Shikaku snapped.

"Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!" Fugaku unleashed his own counterattack.

But Miyuki, holding Kushina and Rin in Susanoo's arms, turned and fled, face pale. She had no illusions. "This… this is suicide. He's about to expand a domain! Only His Highness Jaeger… only he can fight this monster!"

Danzo's laughter thundered across the battlefield.

"Hiruzen! Don't you understand yet!? You cannot reach me. The distance between us is infinite!"

He raised his hand, his new eyes blazing.

"Bear witness to the power of another world—Infinite Void!"

---

Buzz!

The air warped. Every jutsu flying toward him—fire, lightning, water, shadows—froze, suspended uselessly in midair. Then the world itself shifted.

Sarutobi Hiruzen blinked in shock. His mind had never felt so sharp, every thought racing faster than lightning. Yet when he tried to move, his fingers didn't even twitch.

"What… is this…?"

Across the room, the same realization spread. Every Konoha elite stood frozen, trapped within their own bodies.

Their minds functioned, screaming at them to move, but their limbs refused. The dissonance gnawed at sanity itself.

Inoichi's face twisted in horror as he pieced it together.

"It's… information! He's flooding our minds with endless data. Our senses are overwhelmed, drowning in contradictions. We see kunai… yet our minds read 'suffering, suffering, suffering' endlessly until perception collapses! Our brains can't process reality—our bodies are locked down!"

The most brilliant minds of Konoha, reduced to immobile statues in the blink of an eye.

Danzo's voice was calm, almost conversational.

"Hyūga Hiashi and Yamanaka Inoichi must live. They will sire daughters of great value. Fugaku's two sons… potential far too precious to waste."

"Hiruzen, though—he'll make an excellent traitor to topple publicly. With his execution, I will take the Hokage's seat without question."

His hand twitched.

"Technique Reversal: Red."

BOOM!

Gravity crushed downward like the fist of a god. Shikaku's body exploded, reduced to formless flesh in an instant.

The Infinite Void dispersed, leaving the rest of the high command collapsing to the ground, eyes rolled back, paralyzed and unconscious.

Danzo exhaled, scanning the ruins, then glanced toward the horizon where Miyuki had fled.

"…Uchiha Miyuki. A variable outside the Transmigrator's memories. The butterfly effect? Or… are there others like him?"

For the first time, doubt flickered across his stolen eyes.

And at that exact moment, Uchiha Miyuki shuddered, sensing Danzo's gaze pierce across space. She bolted into the chat group in desperation.

Uchiha Miyuki: "It's started! Konoha has already fallen—only His Highness Jaeger can save us now!"
