In the consciousness space
Pirate Renzo clicked his tongue, staring at Uchiha Renzo in amazement: "Man, you really pulled it off! You handled Danzo beautifully — gotta give you a thumbs up! That bastard deserved to die ages ago!"
"Finally some justice! I hated that guy so much when I watched the anime back in the day. This really hits the spot!"
Hermione, standing off to the side, nodded in agreement."Yeah, that scumbag was disgusting. Good riddance!"
Hentai Renzo chuckled, "Seriously, this is some legendary infamy. Danzo's name is forever nailed to the Hall of Shame — not just in Konoha, but across the whole ninja world!"
Aizen added coolly, "He had it coming. Still, don't forget — a lot of his actions were silently approved by Hiruzen."
Uchiha Renzo just shrugged helplessly ."Come on, what was I supposed to do? Kill the Third Hokage too? You think Jiraiya, or Minato, would've just stood by and let that happen?"
"Even the clan heads wouldn't have agreed."
"Unless I went totally rogue and forced it — and honestly, if it came to that, I'd have to fall out with pretty much everyone."
"Minato, Kushina, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Asuma... even Orochimaru, maybe. Am I supposed to wipe them all out too? What am I, crazy?"
He laughed bitterly. "I still gotta live in this world, you know?"
And really, strictly speaking, aside from keeping him on ice for a few months, the Third hadn't actually wronged or harmed him. If anything, Hiruzen had shielded him from a lot of Danzo's trouble.
Renzo figured things were fine the way they ended.
The Third Hokage's power and honor were stripped — wasn't that punishment enough?
"True enough," Aizen nodded too. "Push things too far, and you cut ties too early. It's already more than enough."
Demon Slayer Renzo stroked his chin and said, "Speaking of, with Konoha in such chaos, how's the rest of the ninja world reacting? Didn't Kumo and Iwa try anything?"
"You better keep an eye on the Uchiha at the frontlines. If they all get wiped out, that's gonna be a big problem."
"Oh, and what about the Mangekyō Sharingan you got off Danzo? You studied it yet? What's the ability? Can we merge it with our own?"
"I've always felt like our Mangekyō skills are still missing some serious firepower."
The others all turned toward Uchiha Renzo.
Yeah — the Mangekyō Danzo had was snatched up by Uchiha Renzo back when Danzo was trapped inside Takamagahara.
"Oops, kinda forgot about that!" Uchiha Renzo scratched his head sheepishly. "I'll study it when I get back. Shouldn't be a big deal. Honestly, I'm hoping it works."
If it did, they could maybe copy the eye techniques of Fugaku, Obito, Shisui, Itachi, and even Sasuke in the future!
Maybe even Madara's too!
As for whether Obito could still awaken Kamui...Or if Shisui and Itachi could unlock their respective powers again...
Renzo figured it was worth researching.
Maybe using genjutsu or Kyoka Suigetsu could recreate their experiences — trick their minds into retriggering the conditions.
Worst case? If it failed, it wasn't like they'd lose anything.
Still, the Sharingan was a reflection of the soul. The type of Mangekyō ability you awakened basically depended on the strongest obsession or trauma in your heart.
Uchiha Renzo was pretty confident he could fake it well enough with illusions.
It would just take some careful setup.
...
"Hey, don't you think it's been a while since a new Renzo joined?" Demon Slayer Renzo suddenly said.
"Yeah, hope the next Renzo is OP after all this waiting," Eevee added.
Aizen chimed in, "It'd be great if DC Renzo joined. Like, say... Superman?"
"Whoa, that's really OP," Uchiha Renzo said, amazed.
Aizen nodded. "A Renzo with OP physical abilities would be perfect, especially since I'm about to complete my body."
Eevee smirked. "Then Saitama would be a good choice too."
Aizen and the others nodded. "That would be awesome."
Eevee grinned even wider. "It's just... you'd all be bald! Hahaha!!"
Everyone suddenly froze, realizing... it might actually happen.
Aizen shot a glance at Eevee. "Yeah, but you would also be affected. Imagine it—Eevee without fur. Can you picture that, E-e-v-e-e..."
Eevee looked like he'd been electrocuted.
Then he quickly put his paws together. "Please, no Saitama Renzo."
Uchiha Renzo: +1
Demon Slayer Renzo: +1111
Hermione: "Saitama Renzo, if you're real... please DIE."
Hentai Renzo: ...
"Ahem, I think the next Renzo will come from Marvel," Python suddenly said. "I can already see Boss Thanos."
"Nah, I prefer Doctor Strange. I want his magic," Uchiha Renzo suggested.
Aizen thought for a moment. "Scarlet Witch would also be an amazing addition."
"Ooh, guys, our chances are great, but honestly, I want Solo Leveling. I wanna be the Shadow Monarch!" Hentai Renzo said, excited.
Then Hentai and Demon Slayer Renzo raised their hands, ready to do that famous pose.
"Don't you dare. Hmph," Hermione snapped.
She knew exactly what kind of guys those two were—and exactly what would 'rise'—so she quickly changed the subject and turned to Hentai Renzo:
"Didn't you say a while back you found a lead on that Time-Stop Pocket Watch? It's been days now. Where's the update? Are you slacking off?"
She'd already gotten her hands on a Time Turner a while ago and had been studying it nonstop. She wanted to compare the two devices — maybe even improve her own world's time magic!
"Yeah, what's up with that?" The others chimed in too.
Lately, all Hentai Renzo had been sharing was...uh, 'just hentai'. Completely ignoring the serious stuff!
It was just too good for the others that they forgot about it and kept encouraging him.
After all, they'd never seen that kind of lewd woman in their own worlds, and Hentai Renzo shared everything—full details, full feelings. From MILFs to JKs, this guy didn't let a single one get away.
"Uhh..." Hentai Renzo let out a super awkward laugh.
"Ahaha... yeah, kinda forgot... But seriously! I do have a lead. I'll get it soon, I swear!"
He scratched the back of his head and added: "Also, weird thing — my world's been getting crazier lately! Looks like a bunch of new maps and worlds are getting merged in!"
"I've been spending a lot of time exploring all that stuff...and, uh, I kinda couldn't resist."
Hermione rolled her eyes hard. "Loser."
Demon Slayer Renzo: "Ama—uh... Loser."
Aizen: "Same."
Eevee: "+1."
Python: "So envi— cough cough—no, I mean I despise you too!"
Everyone took turns expressing their disapproval of Hentai Renzo.
"You guys..."
Hentai Renzo really wanted to say: You're just jealous!
But in order to avoid getting gang-beaten, he wisely kept his mouth shut.
Showing off isn't a good idea, especially when it comes to stuff like this... Some of these guys aren't even human right now! Let alone having a girlfriend!
He figured he should be more considerate.
"Alright! For now, let's all focus more on analyzing Reiatsu, okay? I've basically stored enough mental energy to make a real body — just waiting for the Reiatsu analysis to finish, so I can merge it with my Source Energy (Origin Power)!"
Aizen clapped his hands and reminded everyone.
Once that's done, he was confident he could crush the Wandenreich's operation!
"No problem!"
Everyone agreed without hesitation — even Uchiha Renzo.
Things had calmed down on the Konoha side, so he could spare a few shadow clones to work on Reiatsu analysis too.
Of course, the breakdown of Ice Release and Wood Release bloodlines was still ongoing at the same time.
Recently, he was planning to strengthen his cooperation with Orochimaru.
Besides that, he also told Minato that Konoha should set up a formal research department to support Orochimaru's and his own experiments.
After gaining the Uzumaki bloodline and understanding the benefits of research, Minato agreed immediately.
Right now, they were already preparing to launch Konoha's official R&D Division.
Orochimaru was quite satisfied with this too.
If he could get full Konoha support and resources for his research — instead of having to build a private lab himself — of course he'd be happy.
Seeing how many results Renzo had already produced, Orochimaru didn't want to waste a single second on meaningless things anymore.
The ninja world was about to get an incredible upgrade.
