"Danzō-sama, if you have something to say, spit it out. I don't have time to waste."

Shin said with a nonchalant air.

Danzō glared at Shin, his arrogance infuriating. Despite addressing him with the proper honorifics, Shin's lack of respect was clear.

Danzō was delusional. Expecting respect from Shin was like expecting Hiruzen to step down and hand him the Hokage hat.

"Uzumaki Shin, your strength is impressive. Would you be interested in joining Root?"

Danzō suppressed his anger and extended the invitation.

If Shin joined Root, he would forget about the deaths of his subordinates. Shin was clearly more valuable.

"Root? What's Root? I've never heard of it. Is it some insignificant organization?"

Shin feigned ignorance.

Danzō couldn't hold back anymore. His Kage-level chakra exploded outwards, his eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Why so worked up, Danzō-sama? Is this 'Root' thing your creation? If so, I must criticize your marketing strategy. I've never even heard of it."

Shin said with a straight face, though he was struggling to contain his laughter. If he laughed, Danzō would explode.

He knew Danzō wasn't known for his patience.

"If that's all you wanted, Danzō-sama, then goodbye. I have no interest in some unknown organization."

Shin didn't give Danzō a chance to respond and used the Body Flicker Jutsu to disappear.

Danzō's face was a mask of fury.

"Uzumaki Shin, I'll remember this!" he snarled.

Shin, of course, didn't hear him. And even if he did, he wouldn't care. He wasn't afraid of fighting Danzō.

He was strong enough to escape even a full-on assault from a Hidden Village. With that kind of power, he didn't have to be cautious or play nice.

If he wanted to keep a low profile, he wouldn't have attacked the Suna forces. That display had revealed a portion of his true strength.

He had another reason for attacking, though: a System mission he had received a few months ago.

The mission was to help Konoha win the Second Shinobi World War. The reward was a [Divine Replication Card]. There was no penalty for failure.

He didn't want to fail, though. A [Divine Replication Card] was too precious.

It was a choice-based mission. He could choose to help any of the six villages involved in the war: Konoha, Suna, Iwa, Kumo, Kiri, or Amegakure. The reward was the same regardless of which village he chose. He had chosen Konoha.

Konoha was likely to win anyway, and he was a Konoha Shinobi.

Helping Konoha win the war wasn't a difficult task. He might not even have to do anything.

But that was assuming there were no unexpected events. The timeline had already diverged; anything was possible.

Regardless, Shin was determined to get that [Divine Replication Card]. With it, he could copy the Rinnegan.

Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan was currently with Nagato. Trying to steal it was out of the question.

If Shin tried to take the Rinnegan, Madara would definitely intervene.

Shin had never considered stealing the Rinnegan anyway. He preferred his own eyes. He wouldn't transplant someone else's.

He could evolve his own eyes; there was no need for a transplant. And transplanted eyes were never fully compatible with the new host.

Nagato couldn't even use the Rinnegan's full power. Even if Shin could use it better than Nagato, he probably wouldn't be able to match Madara.

But the eyes copied with the System's Replication Cards were different. They would be perfectly compatible with him.

"You're back."

Tsunade approached Shin curiously. "What did Danzō want?"

Kushina and Mikoto also gathered around, eager to hear what that shady character was up to.

They also wanted to warn Shin.

"Nothing much. He wanted me to join Root," Shin said.

Tsunade nodded. That wasn't surprising. Danzō would definitely try to recruit Shin.

"Was that all?" Kushina asked.

"He probably had other motives. Maybe he's interested in my Ice Release. But I didn't give him a chance to elaborate."

Shin had gone to see Danzō to annoy him, to see his angry expression.

He had succeeded. Danzō's face had been livid.

"No wonder you came back so quickly. He must have been furious," Tsunade chuckled.

"But knowing that old geezer, he'll definitely try to get back at you."

Tsunade's smile vanished. Danzō was vindictive. Shin had angered him; there would be repercussions.

"It doesn't matter."

Shin wasn't afraid of Danzō's revenge. If Danzō pushed him too far, he wouldn't hesitate to kill him.

He glanced at Kushina and Mikoto. He wasn't worried about Danzō's revenge on himself, but he was worried about them.

He thought of a solution: the Transcription Seal. He could seal his Mangekyō Sharingan abilities into their eyes, set to activate under certain conditions.

Itachi had implanted the Amaterasu Transcription Seal in Sasuke's eye, set to activate if he saw Obito's Sharingan.

Shin knew how to use the Transcription Seal, but he hadn't tested it yet. He didn't want to risk using it on Kushina and Mikoto without being sure it was safe.

But that was easily solved. He just needed a test subject.

And finding one was easy. They were in the middle of a war with Suna. He could just capture a Suna Shinobi.

Shin decided to do just that. He wondered which unlucky Suna Shinobi would be his test subject.

"How's Konan's training coming along?" Shin asked, patting Konan's head.

"Still Refining Chakra," Konan replied, nuzzling his hand. She seemed to enjoy his head pats.
