Naruto: Limitless Sage

Kotoamatsukami—the most powerful genjutsu among all Sharingan abilities!

It can directly invade a person's mind and alter their thoughts and will.

And it does so without the target—or anyone else—even realizing it.

This terrifying jutsu originated from the Mangekyō Sharingan of Uchiha Shisui.

Years ago, Shimura Danzō, obsessed with power, forcibly stole one of Shisui's eyes. That act gave him access to the forbidden ability: Kotoamatsukami.

Ever since then, Danzō had kept the eye hidden and regarded the jutsu as his trump card—the ultimate weapon, only to be used in a moment of absolute desperation.

After all, once used, it takes years—possibly even a decade or more—for the ability to recharge in a non-Uchiha host.

Which is why Danzō had never dared to use it recklessly.

Until now.

Because in this moment—

Uzumaki Naruto had not only become the Fifth Hokage…

He had issued a direct order to arrest Danzō.

And now, the Root agents who once followed him stood down under new command.

Surrounded by Hatake Kakashi and a squad of elite jōnin, Danzō sneered.

Then, with no warning, he suddenly roared at Naruto:

"Uzumaki Naruto, look at me!!"

In that instant, Danzō yanked off the bandage covering his right eye.

Revealing—

A Mangekyō Sharingan, gleaming blood-red with forbidden power.

Kotoamatsukami!

The moment his eye met Naruto's, Danzō activated the ultimate genjutsu.

A surge of overwhelming mental pressure—like a tsunami—rushed toward Naruto's mind, attempting to seize control of him instantly.

But—

Naruto didn't even flinch.

He just stood there.

Calm.

Unmoved.

Because—

He had already foreseen this moment.

Seconds before Danzō made his move, Naruto had sensed the shift.

And he allowed it.

Because he wanted to see how far Danzō would go.

More importantly—

Naruto's current spiritual power had already transcended conventional limits.

He stood on the edge of a higher plane of existence.

Even the terrifying might of Kotoamatsukami, known to subjugate anyone, paled before him.

To Naruto—

It was like a breeze brushing past a mountain.

Utterly ineffective.

And then—

Danzō realized it.

Kotoamatsukami hadn't worked.

The "ultimate illusion"… had no effect!

His trump card had failed—completely!

"Impossible...!"

Danzō stared in disbelief.

Is this brat even human?

At that moment, fear twisted his face.

He had planned to take control of Naruto, then use the boy as a puppet to rule Konoha… perhaps even the entire ninja world.

But—

He had failed at the very first step.

The "unstoppable" genjutsu of Kotoamatsukami…

Had been shattered effortlessly by Uzumaki Naruto!

What on Earth Is Going On?!

Shimura Danzō stood frozen.

For a moment, he couldn't even think.

Everything had happened so suddenly.

His plan—his ultimate move—had failed.

And in the eerie silence that followed his failed genjutsu—

Everyone finally reacted.

All eyes were on Danzō.

And more importantly—on the eye he had just revealed.

The bandage that always covered his right eye was gone.

Now clearly visible to all…

Was a Mangekyō Sharingan!

Not a normal Sharingan—

But the forbidden, evolved eye of an Uchiha.

"Danzō… you!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, stared in disbelief.

His longtime comrade...

Had been hiding a Mangekyō Sharingan all this time?

The other senior advisors—Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu—were just as shocked.

Danzō had never told them about this.

They had worked alongside him for decades.

And yet... this had been kept from them?

Even for Danzō, who was always scheming and manipulative—this was beyond their expectations.

In the crowd, the villagers and shinobi of Konoha were just as stunned.

"Lord Danzō… has a Sharingan?!"

"Not just any Sharingan… a Mangekyō?!"

Even the younger generation—Hinata, Shikamaru, Ino, and others—were speechless.

Danzō Shimura had a dojutsu that only members of the Uchiha Clan should possess?

This wasn't like Kakashi-sensei, who had received his Sharingan as a gift from Obito Uchiha during the Third Great Ninja War.

Danzō had hidden his eye from the world.

No one—not even his closest allies—had known.

In the distance, the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, and the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, looked on from their ethereal forms, their expressions darkening.

Even they frowned at the sight of Danzō wielding a Mangekyō Sharingan.

Among the living, the clan heads—Hyūga Hiashi, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi—all exchanged grim looks.

The same thought crossed their minds:

So this is how far Danzō went to grasp the power of the Uchiha…

Naruto, standing in front of Danzō, scoffed.

"What's the matter?" he said coldly.

"Surprised?"

"Did you think I wouldn't know about Kotoamatsukami?"

He stepped forward, electricity crackling in his palm.

"Too bad."

"No amount of illusions or tricks can overcome true strength."

With a swift motion, Naruto released a concentrated burst of lightning.

The electric arc slashed across Danzō's arm—

Tearing away the wrappings that covered it.

And then—

Under the sunlight…

An entire row of Sharingan was exposed on Danzō's arm.

Not one.

Many.

Dozens of stolen eyes embedded into his flesh.

The crowd gasped—louder than before.

This was far more horrifying than Danzō revealing a single Mangekyō.

This was monstrous.

The entire audience—villagers, shinobi, everyone—erupted in shock and outrage.

Even Danzō, now fully exposed, looked shaken.

How does Naruto know all this?!

How did this boy—this brat—discover his darkest secret?

But before he could recover—

Naruto turned to the crowd and raised his voice.

"Everyone! You see it now, don't you?"

"These Sharingan—where do you think they came from?!"

"They are undeniable proof that Konoha's upper echelon orchestrated the Uchiha Massacre!"

He pointed directly at Danzō without hesitation.

"This man—Shimura Danzō—harvested the eyes of a murdered clan and experimented on them!"

The entire village fell into a stunned silence.

And then—

Whispers turned into shouts.

The people looked at Danzō.

They looked at the stolen Sharingan.

And they began to believe Naruto's words.

The evidence was right in front of them.

No more excuses. No more silence.

Even the First and Second Hokage, spirits of Konoha's founding era, turned away in disappointment.

Danzō's greed had crossed a line that could no longer be ignored.

He had not just stolen eyes.

He had betrayed the Will of Fire.

From afar, Uchiha Sasuke looked on.

The old man—Shimura Danzō—

Finally exposed for who he truly was.

And Sasuke's blood boiled with rage.

This man… this man is the one who ordered the Uchiha massacre!

If he could, Sasuke would've struck him down right then and there.

But before he could move, a cold, commanding voice echoed through the arena.

Uzumaki Naruto, standing as the Fifth Hokage, made his judgment without hesitation:

"Arrest Shimura Danzō immediately."

"One week from today—he will be executed."

The weight of those words fell on everyone present.

No debate.

No trial.

Just judgment.

Naruto had declared it—

Danzō Shimura would die by execution.

A traitor to the village.

A criminal who had deceived the people for far too long.

He would die without glory, without honor, and without a shred of dignity.

All those watching—the villagers, shinobi, clan heads, and the resurrected Hokage—knew in that moment:

A new era had begun.

The era of Uzumaki Naruto.

But Danzō, cornered and condemned, didn't crumble.

No, that man was far too stubborn.

And far too dangerous.

The moment he heard Naruto's verdict, Danzō's fury erupted.

"You think I'll go down that easily?!"

"Not even the gods can judge me!"

Tearing off the last remnants of his robes, the mask of diplomacy was gone.

Now only raw desperation remained.

"Uzumaki brat! Prepare to die!!"

Danzō unleashed a surge of chakra—violent, wild, and defiant.

But Naruto didn't flinch.

He didn't retreat.

He simply raised his hand.

And summoned the power of nature itself.

A force far beyond mere ninjutsu—

It was a crushing, divine pressure.

As if the very heavens had passed judgment.

With one motion, that divine force struck down Shimura Danzō—

Crushing him utterly.

Silence followed.

Until—

His body flickered.

And Danzō returned to life.

One of the Sharingan embedded in his arm had activated.

Izanagi.

The forbidden Uchiha technique that rewrites reality for a single moment.

But Naruto wasn't surprised.

He had already accounted for it.

He calmly stared at Danzō's arm—counting the Sharingan.

And then he moved.

Once.

Twice.

Again.

Each time Danzō tried to resurrect himself with another Sharingan—

Naruto killed him again.

Again.

And again.

And again.

Before the eyes of the entire village—

Uzumaki Naruto overwhelmed Shimura Danzō.

Crushed him.

Erased him.

Until—

There were no more Sharingan left to sacrifice.

No more Izanagi.

No more second chances.

Danzō was finally—

Defeated.

For real.

Irrevocably.

The people stared, speechless.

They had witnessed it themselves:

The once-feared power behind Konoha's shadows,

Hunted, exposed, and defeated by the Fifth Hokage's own hand.

Even if Danzō had tried to flee—he wouldn't have made it far.

Not under Naruto's divine force.

In less than ten breaths, it was over.

The man known as Shimura Danzō—

Manipulator of Konoha, butcher of the Uchiha, abuser of Root—

Was finished.

In the final moments, Danzō's soul trembled.

He had faced a power that transcended even the legends of the ninja world.

How…?

How did that brat become so powerful?!

He had trained for decades.

Sacrificed morals, friends, even humanity itself for strength.

And still—

He was utterly dominated by a boy half his age.

"Heaven… is unfair…"

That was the last thought in Danzō's heart.

A bitter, helpless rage.

And then—

Nothing.

And Would Naruto Care?

Of course not.

Without any hesitation, Naruto gave the order:

"Kakashi—arrest Shimura Danzō."

At this point, Danzō had already used up every Sharingan embedded in his body.

He had no more Izanagi left.

No more second chances.

He wasn't even qualified to challenge Kakashi anymore.

And just like that—

The man who had once been second only to the Hokage in Konoha…

Was cuffed and subdued by Kakashi.

Bound like a common criminal.

The once mighty Shimura Danzō, who had ruled the shadows of the village for decades,

Now reduced to nothing more than a condemned traitor.

Watching the scene unfold were three familiar faces:

Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, Konoha's former elders.

They looked at Danzō—their old friend—

And for the first time in decades… they felt something rare.

Pity.

Because deep down, they knew—

If this was Danzō's end… then theirs might not be far off.

After Danzō and the old guard were taken into custody, Naruto turned his attention elsewhere.

He wasn't finished yet.

Especially not with the guests from Sunagakure.

Standing before Gaara, Jonin Maki, and the Sand Village delegation—

Naruto gave them a choice.

"Surrender."

"Or die here."

His words echoed through the tense air like a thunderclap.

The Sand shinobi trembled with silent fury—but none dared speak against him.

They were angry.

But also powerless.

After all—

Their Fourth Kazekage had died during the invasion orchestrated by Orochimaru.

And now, Sunagakure didn't even have a proper Kage-level shinobi to lead them.

They had no strength left to resist the new Konoha under the rule of Fifth Hokage Uzumaki Naruto.

The numbers were too overwhelming.

Naruto's loyal forces included over 1,500 jōnin—

A number that dwarfed anything the Sand Village could muster.

And even the jōnin who had previously sided with the Third Hokage…

Though defeated, were still formidable shinobi—and still part of Konoha.

But most terrifying of all—

Was Naruto himself.

His personal strength was enough to overpower an entire village.

A force akin to the First Hokage, the legendary Senju Hashirama—the God of Shinobi.

Now…

If the world were to name a new God of Shinobi—

It could only be the Fifth Hokage—Uzumaki Naruto.

Faced with this reality—

Gaara made the only logical choice.

Without hesitation, he spoke on behalf of his village.

"Sunagakure surrenders to Konohagakure."

Naruto nodded in approval.

At least Gaara understands his position. He knows when to yield.

With that—

The Sand Village became part of Konoha's growing sphere of influence.

And now, of the Five Great Nations, only three remained independent:

Kumogakure (Cloud Village)

Kirigakure (Mist Village)

Iwagakure (Stone Village)

Among the Konoha shinobi present, many were still processing what had just happened.

They had watched as the once-hostile Sand Village—

Which had once launched attacks on Konoha—

Now willingly submitted.

It was almost surreal.

But they understood one thing:

It wasn't diplomacy that had brought Sunagakure to its knees.

It was power.

And that power belonged to Naruto.

Without it, such a bold ultimatum would have led to war.

After settling the matter with the Sand delegation,

Naruto began consolidating power.

Using his authority as the new Fifth Hokage, he issued an official proclamation to the entire ninja world:

"Konoha's leadership has changed."

"The era of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the old guard is over."

"Uzumaki Naruto now stands as the Fifth Hokage."

He dispatched envoys across the nations, backed by Konoha's elite.

At the same time, Naruto entrusted Kakashi, along with other senior shinobi, with taking control of:

The ANBU Black Ops

The Military Police Force

The Prison and Detention Department

And other key branches of the village administration.

Konoha shifted into full motion.

Orders were dispatched.

Command chains were reorganized.

The village buzzed with new energy.

And so—

The impeachment of the Third Hokage…

The downfall of Danzō…

And the rise of Fifth Hokage Uzumaki Naruto—

Spread like wildfire across the shinobi world.

A new age had dawned.

News of the upheaval in Konohagakure spread like wildfire.

And across the shinobi world—

Shock erupted.

The major villages—Kumogakure, Kirigakure, Iwagakure—

All were stunned by the headlines flooding in from Konoha.

The mighty Hidden Leaf Village—home to the greatest shinobi legacies—

Had been shaken from the inside out.

How could this happen?

The idea that Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, who had led Konoha through multiple wars and earned the respect of countless ninja—

Could be overthrown?

Could be impeached and imprisoned by a younger shinobi named Uzumaki Naruto?

To most outsiders—

It was unthinkable.

For decades, Sarutobi Hiruzen had been the symbol of stability and power in the Leaf.

He had been the face of its diplomacy, its wars, its peace.

But now—

That very man had been cast down by one of Konoha's own.

And not a clan head.

Not a council elder.

Not a legendary Sannin.

But a boy.

A boy once labeled a demon container.

Once scorned by his own village.

Uzumaki Naruto.

Now standing at the peak of power.

And that fact—

Sent ripples of fear and awe across the shinobi world.

Meanwhile, back in Konoha—

Naruto had not forgotten.

He remembered everything.

The stares.

The whispers.

The cold shoulders.

The villagers who scorned him, insulted him, ignored his pain—

All because of the Nine-Tails sealed within him.

Now that the old regime—Danzō, Hiruzen, Koharu, Homura—had fallen…

Naruto's next target was clear.

Those villagers who had mocked his existence, who had looked at him as nothing but a beast—

Would face consequences.

Because Naruto had never claimed to be merciful.

He had said it before—

And he meant it now more than ever:

"I believe in an eye for an eye… a tooth for a tooth."

He would never let the world trample him again.

Let the world hate me—so long as I never let the world hurt me again.

The boy who once walked the village streets alone…

Was now the God of Konoha.

And this time, the village would learn what it meant to reap what it had sown.
