I Am A Villain

While the weak spots on the seal Zero was being held in continued to increase, his agents were already on the move. All that was needed for multiple biomass-based bodies to be constructed was sufficient biomass. Using a few dead bodies it was easy for multiple Zero to be produced, each taken over by Zero's soldiers. The first target would be Danzo Shimura and Zero had made ample preparations.

He had specifically put a higher-ranked shadow to lead the operation and let it plan the operation before deciding whether to go with the shadows plan or his own. While listening to Shadow's plan he decided that it was surprisingly quite smart.

'According to the shadow, Danzo was actively surrounded by root when he wasn't in public, meaning that if they had a shadow appear from his shadow, attack the neck and disable him, he would only be able to use Kotoamatsukami. Afterwards, the shadow would take it to my clone and easily replace Danzo. The execution of the plan would take 30 seconds at most… but it all depended on the fact that Danzo couldn't use the Sharingan while paralyzed… so I modified the plan a little by using a magic scroll I created.'

'Like the usual magic, most main characters will come up with increasing their own perception of time to give themselves more time to react, so… I did the opposite. Decreasing the perception of time so it would seem like 1 hour is just 1 second. Considering the fastest reflex reaction reaches 0.08 seconds I double my assumption for ninjas(0.04 seconds) giving my agents a total of 2.4 minutes to carry out the operation. Even if it was 4 times/0.02 seconds, which I highly doubt is possible for an old man like Danzo it would still give my shadows 1.2 minutes which is more than enough.'

With the plan set, all that was left for Zero was to hear the conclusion.

…

(Konoha, Hokage Tower.)

As the shadow soldier was waiting inside Danzo's shadow he was also carefully listening to the current conversation between the Hokage and Danzo.

Hokage: "Danzo, we have already gone over this, a no is a no! Unless you have anything else to discuss then you are free to go."

Danzo: "Hiruzen, the village is getting weaker under your nose, we cannot afford any more of the dilly-dallying you call D-rank missions. Let me reinstate Root and I'll make sure to give you soldiers, not kids with weapons."

Hokage: "Right now we are at peace, increasing the number of soldiers would incite war."

Danzo: "Do you really think so, have you gone that senile? This peace has only been possible because of Konoha's strength. We do not have that strength anymore, once the other villages realize that the tree called Konoha is empty inside one good hit will be all it takes to bring it down."

Hokage: "That is enough of you Danzo. The matter is settled and it will remain so for as long as I am Hokage." – he said as he exerted pressure on Danzo.

Danzo: "I see, then I shall not try to change your mind anymore." – Danzo said with a resolute look in his eye.

After finishing Danzo turned and walked away from the Hokage office and slowly made his way out of the Hokage tower.

As he continued to walk he carefully made his way into an alley where a Root Anbu appeared.

Danzo: "Contact Orochimaru. Tell him that I agree with his proposal."

As the Anbu nodded he disappeared, flickering out of sight.

Danzo: "Forgive me Hiruzen, but you leave me no other choice."

Every day, Danzo had 4 of the best Root Anbu escort him while remaining out of sight, leaving him with only 3 for the moment. For the high-ranked shadow, this was the perfect opportunity to attack, shadows lay everywhere within the alley and they had the perfect chance so he gave them the order. He also thought that whoever Orochimaru was, he was definitely more important if he could deal with the old man in the office. Thinking so, the shadow quickly gave the orders as he himself made his way into the shadow of the leaving Root Anbu.

As soon as he left the shadow he was in, he crushed a scroll in his hand, covering the alley as the shadows climbed out from the ground behind their targets, restraining the Root Anbu while they still could not react. From behind Danzo, a much bigger figure appeared, with a shadow soldier in his side. As the figure sluggishly looked forward, it looked as if it could barely move. Trying to shapeshift it's arm seemed almost impossible as it finally decided to just shove its hand on Danzo's head and consume him, turning into him almost immediately.

…

(Konoha, Training Ground, Inside Sasuke's Body.)

As Zero was using magic to observe the situation, he was intrigued. He didn't know that the shadow soldiers were capable of learning…

'Quite smart little pawn… but it's usually not good for your health if you are too smart, hopefully, he will keep it at an appropriate level or I will need to replace it. I need a tool, not a person.'

As Zero continued to observe he found a little oversight on his part but decided not to fix it right away.

'The shadow soldier forces the body to move by inserting itself into it… but that body is too heavy for a common soldier to move, they do not have superhuman strength. That also made it impossible to bear the burden of shifting that amount of weight around as he tried to form a blade… the end-result was interesting though, it couldn't achieve the objective that way soo it tried a new one… shoving his hand inside Danzo's head.'

'Ok, that should be enough, let's apply some magic to lighten the weight and put the smart one in there. It wouldn't be Danzo if he just stood there waiting for orders without talking. This also gives me access to some seal masters and trained shinobi without drawing attention to myself… but most importantly… that eye, it is as much physical as it is spiritual so I should be able to access it in here…maybe, I mean the sage has them and he is long dead… do you have to have them since birth? But I have Shisui's DNA and some other Uchihas so it shouldn't be a problem.'

Opening his eyes multiple times while channeling energy at them, Zero found himself looking at his normal eyes. Trying a few more times he finally found the problem…

'I am an idiot…. I don't have a gamer body so my mana and chakra are different sources of power. Let's see, according to Danzo you need to move the chakra this way and channel it to the eyes… but I am a spirit right now, I don't actually have eyes, this body is all spirit so… what if I channel all into my entire body?'

As Zero tried to channel his energy he saw that he became a giant eyeball.. though on the bright side he had the Sharingan.

'Okay, this might be an issue. Considering the fact that my body takes shape as I want I might end up like this out there so I definitely need to get this right.'

Trying again Zero's body took the shape of a human… with a small problem… he was covered in eyes on every part of the body. Slowly looking down at his 'junior' Zero felt a shiver.

'Oh no,no,no,no, definitely NO!'

As Zero tried again he finally got it right… with one more eye in the middle of his forehead.

'I'm on the right track, a little more and I'll perfect this. Though even I cant seem to be able to use Kotoamatsukami as freely… do I need the other eye? I can use it quite often but why not as much as I want? I have the DNA, the blood is faint as it was mixed with Danzo's but that isn't a problem, I can trace it back to the origin and create more blood but… I might need the other eye maybe… do they work together? Well, it lines up with my schedule anyway, I can feel the presence of Shisui's soul in the elemental nations. It hasn't gone up there yet so where could it be… probably either with the body or the eye… I bet on that eye.'

'The body flicker of Shisui would be amazing as well, while I could move way faster that was only due to my physical strength… Combining the long range using Minato's Flying Raijin, and close combat, using Shisui's body flicker, I would definitely love to see the result.'
