On the rooftop of the Hokage Building, located at the northernmost part of Konoha, beneath the Hokage Rock.
At this moment, the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, stood with Elite Jonin led by Kakashi, Guy, and Asuma behind her.
Everyone looked at Genos and Ishigami Yu opposite them with a mix of three parts vigilance and seven parts fear.
If it were just the two of them, it wouldn't have made Tsunade and the others so tense.
But the problem was their relationship with that man!
Genos was Lott's follower!
Ishigami Yu was the follower of Lott's follower!
And according to the news Kakashi brought back, that man was currently sitting in the Ichiraku Ramen shop!
"No need to be so nervous, right? We're just asking for directions."
Genos's expression remained unreadable as he spoke first.
Except for Lott, Dr. Kuseno, and a few others, this was basically his attitude towards everyone else.
"That guy..."
Ishigami Yu reminded him: "Genos-san, Shimura Danzo."
"Oh right, where is Shimura Danzo?"
Genos nodded.
"What do you want with Danzo?"
Tsunade asked in surprise, her eyes wide.
"No need to explain to you. Although Sensei said you're not a bad person, but-"
Genos raised his hand and pointed at Tsunade and her group, his palm glowing with a crimson energy wave.
"I don't want to waste Teacher's time."
…
BOOM-!
In the northwestern part of Konoha.
A heavy blast shook half the village.
On a power pole, Naruto, who had just returned from training and was standing on it, stumbled.
He nearly fell off.
Hugging the pole like a koala, Naruto turned to look towards the left front where a mushroom cloud was rising.
"Wh-What? Wh-What happened?!"
Meanwhile, inside the Ichiraku Ramen shop by the power pole, Lott put down his fortieth or fiftieth bowl.
He wore a satisfied expression, as if everything outside was normal.
Tap~
Familiar footsteps came from behind.
Lott didn't turn his head, asking calmly:
"Got it?"
"Yes. I didn't make you wait too long, did I, Sensei?"
Outside the Ichiraku Ramen, Genos and Ishigami Yu returned together.
And in Genos's hand, he held an old man who looked like a dead dog, with bandages covering his right eye.
Shimura Danzo!
"Hey! You, who are you!?"
Naruto, who had jumped down from the pole, pointed at Genos and shouted.
But before Naruto could finish shouting, Jiraiya quickly reached out, grabbed his collar, pulled his idiot disciple into his arms, and firmly covered his mouth with his other hand.
Although Jiraiya didn't know what was happening either, he knew very well they absolutely must not offend these people!
At that moment, the Konoha's elite led by Tsunade-
Even the other two 'distinguished talents' of the Konoha Council, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, had arrived.
Seeing their old comrade being held like a drowned rat in Genos's hand, the two Hokage's Advisors were furious but didn't dare speak up.
They could bully a softie like Sarutobi Hiruzen relying on their seniority, or give someone with a good temper like Tsunade some trouble.
But when they encountered a tough nut, they backed off faster than anyone.
"It's fine, I just finished dinner."
Lott left a few gold coins on the counter, stood up, and glanced back at Danzo.
"Give me... a reason. Give me a reason!"
Danzo, held by Genos, spoke with difficulty.
Though his voice was extremely weak, it carried strong resentment.
Danzo admitted he had caused the deaths of many people.
And although he had no self-awareness, believing everything he did was for Konoha-
Deep down, he also knew people might seek revenge in the future.
Rather, since he became the leader of Root, there had been no shortage of people wanting his life.
But at this moment, Danzo couldn't understand!
'Although I've harmed many people, it has nothing to do with you, right?'
'I didn't provoke you!'
'Why come after me?!'
"Annoying!"
Genos looked impatient as he released Danzo.
Just before Danzo hit the ground, Genos suddenly reached out, his fingertips piercing the bandage over Danzo's right eye, and forcefully gouged out the eyeball underneath!
Younger ones like Konohamaru and Hyuga Hanabi were so frightened they nearly screamed.
But for veterans like Tsunade and Jiraiya-
What shocked them wasn't Genos's ruthlessness.
It was the eyeball lying in his palm, stained with blood foam, reflecting a pattern of three tomoe.
"Sh-Sharingan..."
Kakashi was dumbfounded, instinctively touching his left eye covered by his headband.
"Sharingan + Hashirama's cells? Indeed a way to get stronger without training."
Lott chuckled.
It had to be said, Ishigami Yu's emo hairstyle + fake depressive personality actually had a bit of the Uchiha clan's vibe.
That's right, the method Genos thought of to make someone like Ishigami Yu, who had never trained before, stronger was to transplant Hashirama's cells and a Sharingan.
Since deciding on the android project, and with Cooler's body still missing-
Genos had been scouting for powerful abilities in the group chat.
If the opportunity arose, he would capture these powerful individuals and extract their cells from their blood.
Although he hadn't found many to his liking so far, Genos unexpectedly found a few that suited Ishigami Yu quite well.
The overall combat power of this Planet Ninja wasn't strong, but its abilities were indeed diverse and very interesting.
Even top-tier powerhouses could easily be tripped up by those bizarre Ninjutsu if they weren't careful.
It was impossible for Ishigami Yu to become a warrior, but if he transplanted those strangely powerful Mangekyo Sharingan-
Plus Hashirama's cells to supplement Chakra-
Becoming a support-type mage should be feasible.
Actually, Genos had also discovered 'Stands'.
But according to Joseph Joestar, awakening a Stand with the Arrow carried a risk of death, so he decided to forget it.
Genos was quite fond of Ishigami Yu as a junior.
"Let the [Great Sucker]... oh no, Princess Tsunade perform the surgery. She's more suitable than Bulma."
Lott looked up at Tsunade, who still hadn't recovered from her shock.
After all, the Planet Ninja's power system was unique, so it was better to let Tsunade, a local, handle it.
"I'm leaving first. By the way, it doesn't necessarily have to be this eye. There are many good eyes in this world. Take your time looking."
After saying that, Lott used Instant Transmission to leave first.
The ability of Shisui's Mangekyo, Kotoamatsukami, was powerful, but it wasn't really suitable for Ishigami Yu.
Lott shared Genos's view.
They defined Ishigami Yu as a support mage.
And the mind-control ability of Kotoamatsukami... wasn't very helpful for Lott or Genos, who didn't play politics.
Genos and Ishigami Yu thought carefully about Lott's words and suddenly noticed Kakashi, who wore a mask and covered his left eye with a headband.
"You seem to have a special eye too."
Genos said, narrowing his eyes.
"What do you want to do!?"
This time, Naruto couldn't hold back. He rushed forward and stood in front of Kakashi, shouting.
Tsunade also resolutely stepped forward, shouting:
"I don't care what you do with Danzo! But if you lay a hand on my subordinate, I won't stand by idly!"
Danzo: "???"
'Is no one speaking up for me?!'
'Genos-san, Lott-san also said there are many eyes to choose from in this world.'
Seeing his 'surgeon' say this, Ishigami Yu felt he should give her some respect.
