Chapter 105 Danzo Is in Action Again
Konoha, roots.
In the deepest office, the silence was suddenly broken.
A distorted pale face suddenly appeared on the desk where Danzo was processing official documents, pulling out a strange and friendly smile.
"hello!"
The owner of the smile had a voice that was too lively for his taste; and the topic he would use to chat with Danzo would be a bit embarrassing for most humans.
"After sitting for so long, don't you need to defecate? I heard that the elderly can't stand the urge to defecate...!"
The next moment, Shanfeng, who was responsible for guarding Danzo today, suddenly appeared from the corner, and the kunai in his hand suddenly pierced the white Zetsu's forehead.
"I'm just kidding!"
Bai Jue screamed in panic.
Because of Purgatory Anjurou, the current number of White Zetsus has been almost halved. If he continues to die, Obito will be unable to collect information, and the situation will be difficult.
The White Zetsus regarded Uchiha Obito as one of their own, and they didn't want the brat to turn into the sad-faced look he had when they first met, so they often reminded each other to protect themselves, but they eventually let him go.
Fortunately, the mountain wind's kunai did not penetrate.
Danzo showed agility and strength beyond his age, and actually used his left hand to jam his subordinate's wrist in time.
Bai Jue, who was almost stabbed to death, breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, the bandaged old man just whispered "Go ahead". Shanfeng didn't even ask, and immediately returned to the corner and stopped moving. He didn't seem to be worried at all that this sudden monster would hurt the roots. The leader of the ninja.
"Ahem, luckily you are always strong and have good eyesight and quick hands, otherwise I would be in trouble today."
Only then did Bai Jue lean out half of his body from the table in fear.
Danzo leaned back in his chair and looked at the strange-looking monster calmly.
This is a reconnaissance type White Zetsu.
The right side of his body was covered with barbs that looked like some kind of albino desert fern.
When he first saw this thing, Danzo replied that there was only one Bai Zetsu.
It wasn't until Purgatory Anjuro used Kagura's inner vision to discover the white Zetsu that was spying on the Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen that Danzo learned the truth: this elusive but not very powerful monster was actually the product of the wood escape experiment. Likely to have a unique tribe of people who are born spies.
The other party claimed to be trading with him on behalf of "Madara", but did not explicitly say that he was "Madara Uchiha".
At that time, Danzo had always thought that the other party was trying to confuse the situation, and he hoped that he would take the initiative to make random guesses before saying this.
Danzo knew that it was a taboo for ninjas to fill in the blanks by imagining things without precise information, so he never gave it much thought.
Until the white Zetsu was captured, the wooden patterns in its body were discovered, and the secret technique Izanagi was sent by the other party, Danzo began to believe that these guys might indeed be related to "Uchiha Madara", and he was interested in them. The attention and fear have gone up to a new level.
Of course, he still didn't rule out Orochimaru's suspicion, but he was no longer as sure as before.
"Is there any result in the Kingdom of Earth?"
Danzo knew that this guy liked to talk nonsense, so he got straight to the point.
He didn't dwell on the bad plan that the other party might have been here for an hour or two, but had been waiting for him to go to the toilet and then peeped.
"Ah, let's get down to business! Do you want to save time because you are older? It's really disappointing."
Bai Jue seemed a little disappointed, but he had an important mission and couldn't force anything. He quickly answered: "The plan was successful."
Danzo's squinted eyes suddenly widened, bursting with a little fire of desire: "Uchiha Shisui is dead?"
"Of course, we did it ourselves, how could there be any mistakes?"
Bai Jue lied.
In fact, Uchiha Shisui can only be said to be missing at present, and they have not found each other's body.
But Bai Zetsu chose to say this, firstly because Obito needed to stabilize the "alliance" with Danzo, and telling the truth would make him appear incompetent.
Secondly, it was to consider Uchiha Shisui's situation. Even if that guy doesn't die, he won't be able to pose any threat to their plan in a few years.
Danzo listened carefully and immediately found something different from the plan.
"I thought you were planning to use Ohnoki's help to get rid of him."
"We think so too. But Iwa Ninja is really... well, to be honest, Iwa Ninja's performance this time was pretty good, but he just chose the wrong opponent."
Bai Zetsu picked up Danzo's teacup as if he were at home, and took a tentative sip, but couldn't feel any taste, which made him a little sad.
"Nearly ten thousand Gan Ninja elites surrounded the place with water, and chased Uchiha Shisui for a day and night. Transforming into the green giant and fighting almost drained his chakra. But in the end, the Iwa Ninja trapped him. At first we thought that things were hopeless and that he would definitely die.
"But neither we nor the Iwa Ninja expected that Shisui Uchiha would do the opposite and directly break into the place where the opponent had the most people, making the Iwa Ninja throw a rat weapon and not dare to use powerful ninjutsu. He forced those guys Fighting with him hand to hand... Tsk tsk, you should see it for yourself. His swordsmanship is fast and ruthless. He floats around like a ghost. All the ninjas who fight him fall down in pieces like wheat. Good job. The encirclement was forcibly opened with a blood-red gap..."
Danzo fell silent.
He knew that Uchiha Shisui was known as the best master in the entire clan, and he must be very strong, but he should be more focused on illusions.
But Danzo never expected that this person could kill like the Third Raikage despite insufficient chakra.
Just listening to Bai Zetsu's description, he could feel the despair Iwa Ninja felt at that time.
Even Susanoo managed to survive, but lost in swordsmanship...
It seemed that the action against Uchiha Shisui was indeed the right choice. Once he raises his butcher knife against Konoha, the consequences will be disastrous.
Danzo asked again: "How many people did the Iwa ninja lose?"
"I knew you were going to ask this! Fortunately, I counted."
Bai Jue looked like he had expected it, and he took out three fingers from his palm and shook them playfully.
"The word "heavy losses" is no longer enough to describe the Iwa Ninja's misfortune! In this battle, the total number of dead and disabled ninjas was more than 3,000; except for the Tsuchikage, almost everyone was injured. In addition, the four-tailed Jinchuuriki was hit by Uchiha Shisui's pupil technique and was brainwashed to turn against him. Ohnoki had no choice but to be ruthless and had to kill him first. Uchiha Shisui took this opportunity to escape. We had to catch up and wipe the Iwa Ninja's butt. Of course, wiping the butt here is not literal, otherwise I would definitely be happy..."
It was an unexpected blessing that the Iwa ninja suffered heavy losses, but Danzo couldn't care less about it.
He leaned forward and asked in a hushed tone: "Where are his eyes? Is the eye technique that controls the four-tailed Jinchuuriki the ability of his Mangekyou Sharingan?"
It’s as if time and space have returned to the Night of Nine Tails!
Having these eyes means having at least one tailed beast! How can people not care?
Bai Zeyu said with ridicule: "Yes, that is an unparalleled illusion, called Betsutenjin. It is so terrifying to be able to change the minds of jinchuriki and tailed beasts at the same time in an instant. It seems that Uchiha Shisui really trusts you. . In all these years, he has never thought of using this technique on you, otherwise, Konoha would have been named Uchiha. "
"It is a waste of money for a soft-hearted person to have such power. If you are saying this to make me feel guilty, then there is no need. Even if he is not our enemy now, he will be in the future. I am just thinking about the future."
Danzo snorted coldly and asked again: "Now that you have killed him, where are his eyes? Our original agreement was -"
"Even if we really get his eyes, considering this convenient ability, we can't leave them to someone like you."
White Zetsu's words made Danzo's breath hitch.
But he immediately grasped Bai Jue's hidden meaning and repeated suspiciously: "Even if you 'really' get it?"
"Unfortunately. When Uchiha Shisui fought with us, his pupil power was exhausted, and his eyes were completely useless."
Bai Zetsu said with a grin, observing Danzo's gloomy expression with schadenfreude.
This is a lie. But not all.
The actual situation is that fighting with Susanoo and using other gods to control the four-tailed jinchuriki did drain Uchiha Shisui's pupil power. His left eye was blind, but it is not clear whether it is permanent.
According to Black Zetsu's judgment, that level of consumption is too heavy a burden for a person of Uchiha Shisui's age. Even if he is not completely blind, he will never be able to see clearly in the future.
As for pupil power, there is no chance of recovery within a few years, and there is no essential difference between it and being scrapped.
As for his right eye, Uchiha Shisui was truly and completely blinded when he activated "Izanagi" when he was attacked by Obito.
At that time, Uchiha Shisui used the "suspended death" gap caused by Izanagi to jump off the cliff and was swallowed by the rapids.
The forward speed of the rapids was much higher than the movement speed of Bai Jue Escape. Although he tried his best to catch up, he could not find the whereabouts of the other party.
However, in Obito's view, Uchiha Shisui was too seriously injured, chakra exhausted, and almost certain to die (Black Zetsu remembered Madara's experience and was very doubtful about this, but did not say it for the sake of harmony).
Besides, even if he did survive, he would still be blind for the next few years.
So, "Don't worry about him, the genius of the past is dead, he is nothing now".
These are Uchiha Obito's exact words.
anyway.
Danzo expressed doubts about Bai Zetsu's statement: "Do you think I will believe you?"
Although what Bai Zetsu said was indeed possible, he still couldn't bear to part with a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, not to mention this ability, which was perfectly in line with his dark personality.
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. The current situation is that we have killed Uchiha Shisui, but Uchiha Fugaku is alive and well."
Bai Zeze raised his head sarcastically, "I passed by Uchiha Fugaku's house when I came here, and I happened to hear him telling his wife that he had gained another kilogram. So, when are you going to do it, and what are your plans? If you don't work, It’s a bit unreasonable, isn’t it? It’s just a matter of killing someone. You put it off again and again, no wonder you’re constipated.”
“Sometimes it’s more valuable to do nothing.”
Danzo ignored his taunt and replied calmly: "When the news of Uchiha Shisui's death and the anger of Iwa Ninja are conveyed, things will naturally change."
When the Hyuga clan killed a messenger, Sarutobi Hiruzen almost handed over Hyuga Hizashi.
Now that Iwa Ninja has killed a jinchūriki and failed to kill Uchiha Shisui, it is a foregone conclusion that he will send people to Konoha to ask the Hokage to "hand over someone".
But Uchiha is not Hinata. They are more united, proud and warlike, and they will definitely be united in dealing with the outside world.
However, would the other ninjas in the village be willing to stand with the Uchiha for such a reason?
Unlike Bai Jue who only wanted to kill Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui, Danzo had a bigger ambition. He wanted the entire Uchiha to be completely destroyed.
In that case, how many spare lives would he have!
"How can you be more stupid than me?"
Bai Jue was very self-aware of his own IQ. He held his forehead with his hand, "The Rock Ninja lost so many elite jonin and even lost a tailed beast. It is the weakest time. That old Tsuchikage must be crazy to declare war on you, right?"
"You know nothing about war and politics, and you know nothing about Ohnoki."
Danzo squinted at White Zetsu: "A fly will attract a group of flies if it finds a crack in the eggshell. The Rock Ninja is indeed weak, but what about the Sand Ninja or the Cloud Ninja? He won't come alone to cause trouble. I know Sarutobi Hiruzen too well. Facing this war with no chance of winning, he will still be as weak as last time. By then, Uchiha will not be able to hand over anyone, and will never hand over anyone. By then, not only Uchiha Fugaku, but the entire Uchiha will become the 'public enemy', which they cannot tolerate..."
"Oh!" White Zetsu understood a little bit: "You want to use this incident to force them to rebel!"
"You finally understand." Danzo must explain it clearly so that White Zetsu can explain it to the people who can really make the decision, otherwise he doesn't have to waste his breath.
"But why did I hear that Sarutobi Hiruzen was brainwashed by that yellow-haired kid and is now optimistic about Uchiha?"
White Zetsu retorted again: "Are you sure it can really succeed? The feasibility of your plan is completely pinned on the shadows of these villages."
Before he came, Black Zetsu had told him that he must let Danzo take action against Uchiha Fugaku as soon as possible.
If it takes too long, if Uchiha Shisui is really not dead and contacts Konoha, Danzo will become timid again.
So waiting for other major countries to react before doing this will be too risky.
The so-called long night brings many dreams, this is the truth.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Danzo turned his head and said coldly.
Just an experimental creature who is only interested in feces, he dared to question his plan.
"I really have one." White Zetsu smiled and showed Black Zetsu's idea as his own.
"First, find a way to take down the Uchiha Fugaku family. What's the use of the remaining Uchiha? Without the only pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, the Uchiha will become a tiger without claws and teeth. Besides, wouldn't losing the clan leader anger them more than losing Uchiha Shisui?"
"That's easy to say." Danzo said contemptuously: "If I had the confidence to kill Uchiha Fugaku, would I have gone through so much trouble?"
Although he was not sure, Danzo knew the arrogance of the Uchiha and their worship of the strong.
Uchiha Shisui was so strong during the Third War, but the Uchiha jonin still insisted on letting Fugaku be the clan leader, probably because they knew very well that Uchiha Fugaku had a pair of unique eyes!
But as far as Danzo knew, there was no ninja in the village who could match a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan.
Danzo also thought about using conspiracy and tricks like he did against Konoha White Fang, but Uchiha Itachi, that waste, was so vulnerable! He quit the Anbu selection first, but now he doesn't even want to be a ninja anymore!
It's impossible to use him to defeat Fugaku.
"I know your concerns."
White Zetsu imitated Black Zetsu's tone, looking like he was planning a strategy.
"So we are willing to help."
"How?" Danzo instinctively didn't want the other party to call the shots in Konoha, but he was still a little interested.
"Uchiha Itachi." White Zetsu gave a name.
"..." Danzo closed his eyes in disappointment.
If he could have done it, would he have waited until now?
However, White Zetsu's next words became more and more outrageous: "We can turn into Uchiha Shisui to trap Uchiha Itachi, and then turn into Uchiha Itachi to plot against Uchiha Fugaku, and finally that woman and the two little ghosts will be left, not to mention."
"Transformation technique? That's your idea." Danzo couldn't help but complain, and suddenly turned his head as if he had noticed something, and found that Yamanaka Feng's shoulders couldn't help shaking in the shadows.
Even the strictly trained Root ninja couldn't help laughing, which shows how untrustworthy White Zetsu's ideas are.
Transformation techniques are OK for Genin and ordinary people, but in the eyes of experienced ninjas, they are full of flaws. Otherwise, why would assassination missions charge so much money?
"What are you laughing at?"
This time, White Zetsu was a little unhappy. He felt insulted.
"It's not an ordinary transformation technique, it's my transformation technique."
After saying that, White Zetsu's body changed, "melted" in just a few seconds, and then reorganized into the appearance of Yamanaka Wind.
Danzo frowned and found something unusual.
As the spy leader, he couldn't find any flaws in this idiot's transformation technique.
[Is it because of Wood Release? ]
White Zetsu smiled triumphantly.
[It's interesting... But can this transformation technique be hidden from the Sharingan? ]
Danzo had some concerns in his heart, and suddenly remembered that his personal bodyguard today was more or less a perception ninja.
"Become me." Danzo said to White Zetsu.
"Easy!" White Zetsu immediately did it as if offering a treasure.
He would not miss the opportunity to show off.
Seeing the identical self appear, Danzo looked back at Shanzhong Feng again: "How is it?"
Yamanaka Feng closed his eyes and made a seal. He was silent for a minute before shaking his head and saying: "There is no difference. The feeling of chakra is exactly the same. All other aspects are the same."
Danzo was not happy after hearing this, but felt a chill down his spine.
Yamanaka Feng's other meaning is -
As long as White Zetsu becomes Danzo and walks out of this room, he can give orders to all Root Ninjas!
But he glanced at his silly and mean smile again, and felt relieved for some reason.
"Recently, Uchiha Itachi is in charge of cooking, and he buys vegetables from the same restaurant every day."
Danzo knocked on the table with his knuckles, "I will get rid of the owner of the vegetable store first, and you turn into him and appear in front of Uchiha Itachi to see if he can find your flaws. If it works, we will plan what to do next. But before that, Yamanaka Feng will tell you the behavioral and linguistic characteristics of Uchiha Shisui, and you must study them carefully. Don't arouse the other party's suspicion on these details."
If it works, after capturing Uchiha Itachi, let White Zetsu turn into Uchiha Itachi and return to his warm home--
Whether it is assassination or poisoning, it will be very convenient!
Danzo squinted his eyes, as if he had seen the expression on Uchiha Fugaku's face when he was killed from behind by the "eldest son".
"Hey! You are so treacherous, but you still have to rely on me in the end!"
White Zetsu version Shimura Danzo happily punched the sky, causing Yamanaka Feng to bite his lips to break before he laughed out loud.
Danzo had no reason to pay attention to them, but continued to think about White Zetsu's previous opinion on Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Perhaps his old friend had been too close to the loud kid for three years, and he had indeed changed a little.
Once his behavior angered him, the cooperation of many years would probably come to naught.
[It seems that we have to find a way to get Hiruzen to leave Konoha, even if it's just for a few days! ]
Danzo made up his mind.
At the same time, thousands of miles away, in the border jungle between the Land of Earth and the Land of Birds.
A giant python thicker than an elephant's waist fell down with a bang, and its abdomen was cut open from the inside by a rusty ninja sword.
A few minutes later, a naked man with his skin corroded by acid struggled to crawl out of the snake's belly. It was Uchiha Shisui.
Perhaps, being eaten by the snake was the reason why he was not discovered by White Zetsu.
"Almost eaten..."
Uchiha Shisui greedily breathed in the air outside, trying to use the smell to determine the location here, because his eyes were covered with a thin layer of gray.
"The smell of grass and mushrooms, the touch of this temperature... It's daytime, what bad luck."
He, the first genius and the first master of Uchiha, is now a blind man. The eyes that he was most proud of in the past are now the most useless thing.
But no one can see this from his current expression.
This is not because Uchiha Shisui is so strong.
But he still remembers the feeling of his pupil power gradually recovering when he used the Moon Breathing when fighting with the Rock Ninja that night!
This is actually the second time he has experienced blindness in his left eye! Otherwise, it would be impossible to successfully use Kotoamatsukami after using Susanoo.
The Moon Breathing that Giyuu taught him has a unique effect on the Sharingan!
After Shisui completely crawled out of the snake's belly, he leaned weakly on the other's body and grabbed a piece of snake meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
"I'm sorry, you also saved my life! But I choose to thank Giyuu."
He waited while eating the snake meat.
He waited for the night to fall and the cool moonlight to sprinkle on his body.
"By the way, if Giyuu practices Moon Breathing every day, the Sharingan should evolve soon, right?"
What Uchiha Shisui didn't know was that it might be a coincidence.
Giyuu, who he was thinking about, was trying to squeeze out the value of another snake.
