Because you simultaneously activated your bloodline power and resisted the ocular power of Kotoamatsukami, you exceeded both your physical and spiritual limits. The symptoms you displayed were extrely similar to those Sasuke Uchiha showed after being forced to awaken his Sharingan by Itachi.
You were granted an extended dical leave.
Once your mind had slightly recovered, you resud using Soul Slash, gradually eroding the remnants of Kotoamatsukami's power. At the sa ti, you began absorbing the now-inert ocular power into yourself, accelerating the recovery of your Spirit and nurturing the growth of your own Ocular Power.
〖Day 6〗
Since you were still recovering, Danzo refrained from reinforcing his control over you with Kotoamatsukami.
You continued using Soul Slash to whittle away the imprint left behind in your ntal realm.
〖Day 7〗
Though you were technically still recovering, Danzo ignored the dical team's objections and insisted on checking in on you. In truth, he just wanted to see if you could control the activation of the double tomoe in your left eye.
As it turned out, you could wield your newly awakened left eye with ease.
Compared to Sasuke, who awakened the single tomoe Sharingan in both eyes yet couldn't control it—leaving his Sharingan dormant—your case was much more impressive.
Danzo was extrely pleased.
He even attempted to get closer to you. Ignoring the roles you both played and the murders he forced you to commit, your interaction was almost like that of a grandfather and grandson in a typical household.
Fortunately, due to the severity of your psychological trauma, Danzo was hesitant to risk giving you permanent ntal damage. He chose not to use Kotoamatsukami on you again for the ti being.
This granted you more ti alone, which you used to further erase the lingering marks of the technique.
〖Day 8〗
After endless day-and-night use of Soul Slash, the remaining presence of Kotoamatsukami in your consciousness had beco extrely faint.
You continued absorbing the crushed Mangekyō power, steadily enhancing both your Ocular Power and your Spirit.
〖Day 9〗
Just as you were about to further refine the Mangekyō chakra and convert it into your own strength, you realized the last remnants had completely disappeared the day before.
This made you suspect that the power of this Kotoamatsukami was naturally fading with the passage of ti.
〖Day 10〗
Danzo ca to visit again. Whether it was because he'd tested it before or simply due to years of experience with Root operations, he seed to know that the Kotoamatsukami's influence would eventually vanish.
This ti, with Abura Ryoma and another guard at his side, you had no chance to strike. You could only let him hypnotize you again.
〖Day 11〗
A new tug-of-war began between your will and the newly implanted imprint of Kotoamatsukami.
However, this ti, you clearly felt that dispelling the ocular power was significantly easier than before.
You speculated that your increased Spirit and the fact you'd previously absorbed this sa Mangekyō power—making you and the enemy "of the sa source"—had made resistance much easier.
〖Day 12〗
Through repeated use of Soul Slash to strike at Kotoamatsukami's imprint, your understanding and control over your Spirit had grown.
You further optimized Soul Slash, allowing you to condense pure spiritual energy into various forms—blades, chisels, axes, saws, hamrs—precisely dismantling the ntal imprint like a skilled carpenter or mason. And it now consud less energy.
The upgraded Soul Slash could also take on the form of senbon, shuriken, even kunai during spiritual attacks, increasing both range and lethality.
Amazingly, it could now even be stored in your Sharingan without a seal—ready to be activated at any mont—making you far safer against enemies with powerful spiritual abilities.
〖Day 13〗
You completely eradicated Kotoamatsukami's imprint from your spiritual world, and split your Spirit into two threads, forming them into shuriken-shaped spiritual constructs, one stored in each eye.
That sa day, Danzo paid another "visit"—in reality, another attempt to strengthen the hypnosis via Kotoamatsukami.
Just as he prepared to activate the technique, he was startled by the sight of your left eye, now clearly displaying double tomoe.
Whether through sensory techniques or calling in specialized sensory ninja, all checks ca up blank. You were deed fully recovered and cleared for discharge.
Only a few people, when making direct eye contact with you, exhibited the sa startled reaction as Danzo.
But these instances were inconsistent and untraceable.
Eventually, they chalked it up to your Sharingan having extraordinary potential.
Hearing this report, Danzo's expression darkened. He led you to the lowest level of a vertical shaft—where a room had been carved directly from the rock, then reinforced with molten steel, its walls etched with sealing and barrier markings.
He told you, "This will be your new ho."
Starting tomorrow morning, you'd be training alongside other Root mbers.
Only those who survive the training will be recognized as true Root shinobi.
You nodded silently. Once inside the room, you imdiately activated the spiritual shuriken you had prepared in both eyes. The imprint of Kotoamatsukami, which hadn't fully settled in your mind, was instantly shattered and obliterated piece by piece...
...
That night, Danzo walked through the dark alleys of Konoha, having just returned from the hospital. Leaning on his cane, his face bore an uncharacteristically wild grin—completely unbefitting the shadowy legend of the ninja world.
"...Hiruzen, looks like this ti, you were a step too late."
〖Day 14〗
You were jolted awake by the dull clang of an iron rod.
Then you rembered what Danzo had told you yesterday—you were to participate in the selection training to beco a Root shinobi.
You threw open the door.
From the maze-like elevated corridors above, you heard the dense thundering of footsteps. Activating your Sharingan, you saw hundreds of kids around your age, all in matching uniforms, scrambling to reach the upper training field.
So this was the special training to beco a Root ninja?
There was no ti to think.
Before the ninja outside your room could bring down the iron rod on your back, you burst into motion. With one explosive step, you shot up the lower levels, bent your left knee, and leapt high—clearing two floors in a single bound.
You landed right in the midst of a group of kids who were fighting while running, constantly switching positions.
Your sudden appearance made them instantly unite. They all drew kunai and charged at you together.
But their speed was laughably slow to your eyes—slower than snails.
You extended your hand, grabbed the leader by the neck, and slamd him headfirst down the stairs.
Then, with one flying kick, you knocked down four or five more, who fell in a pile and blocked the only way up. The ones stuck behind them didn't even dare look you in the eye. They turned on each other instead, as if already resigned to forever lagging behind you—competing only among themselves for the lower ranks.
You casually grabbed one of them, intending to ask about the selection rules.
...Forget it. Genjutsu interrogation would be faster.
So it turns out this was the first phase of the selection.
Each participant is assigned a room based on their entry ti, strength, and potential.
The earlier you joined and the stronger you are, the higher your room is located. Latecors with untested strength are placed at the very bottom.
You're the newest arrival, and your abilities haven't been evaluated—so you were placed in the lowest room.
Everyone has to reach the training ground within the set ti. The sooner you arrive, the better the rewards.
These rewards could be a bag of ninja tools, a jutsu scroll, or even the right to choose your own prize if you finish at the top.
But the one who arrives last... becos fair ga.
Anyone can challenge them.
Only two outcos exist: defeat ten challengers in a row—or get killed and lose everything to your killer.
The strong get stronger. That is the only rule here.
Interesting.
You curled your lips into a grin, your eyes glinting with bloodlust as you looked up at the light filtering down from the shaft above.
