Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 10 Danzo's Impotent Rage

Root Office.

Even though he was over fifty, Danzo Shimura still maintained the energy of a young man.

He personally handled everything.

"Ryoma".

Danzo Shimura flipped through a scroll and asked, "Has the relocation of the Uchiha clan been completed?"

The Nine-Tails' chaos is the disorder caused by the Nine-Tails.

A giant Sharingan appeared in its eyes, leading to suspicion against the Uchiha clan.

At the previous Konoha Restoration Conference, Shimura Danzo proposed relocating them out of the heart of Konoha and to the southwest corner, with the Anbu monitoring them around the clock.

This means that the Uchiha clan has not only left the center of power, but has also lost the trust of the people.

Danzo Shimura's actions were certainly due to prejudice.

However, forcing the Uchiha clan to relocate was a collective decision made by the entire Konoha leadership, including Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Otherwise, Danzo Shimura alone could not have accomplished it.

Ryoma Aburame, dressed in a black trench coat, slipped in and said, "It's basically finished."

What was the Uchiha clan's reaction?

"The reaction was intense; everyone was unwilling, and several conflicts broke out, but the clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku, stopped them each time."

Upon hearing this, Danzo Shimura, who was usually expressionless, revealed an ugly smile.

His plan was executed perfectly.

He really has to thank the mysterious person who controlled the Nine-Tails.

Otherwise, he would have had no way to send the Uchiha clan to the edge of Konoha.

"The Uchiha clan is a powder keg right now, and I look forward to the day it explodes."

Danzo Shimura touched his right arm.

He has already received Hashirama's cells and now possesses Wood Release.

If he could obtain the Sharingan again, he would be invincible and confident of defeating even Hiruzen Sarutobi.

At that time, the position of Hokage will be easily within his grasp.

Danzo Shimura suppressed the Uchiha clan not only to continue the policies of his teacher, Tobirama Senju, but also because he wanted to obtain the Sharingan.

He had long coveted this bloodline limit.

Wood Release and Sharingan represent Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, respectively.

The two of them possessed unparalleled strength, far surpassing that of any other ninja.

"But why?"

Danzo Shimura instinctively gripped the scroll tightly.

The Nine-Tails' rampage drove the Uchiha clan away from the heart of Konoha.

The young Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, also tragically sacrificed his life.

Two happy things were overlapping, so why did it turn out like this?

Danzo Shimura never dreamed that he would live to see Hiruzen Sarutobi become Hokage twice.

I'm so angry!

"Fortunately, Hiruzen Sarutobi won't be in power for many more years. As long as I obtain the Sharingan before the new Fifth Hokage takes office, everything will be alright."

Danzo Shimura let out a breath.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is an example of someone who was laid off and is now seeking re-employment.

However, this is due to the current situation in Konoha.

Once things stabilize, the selection of a new Hokage will be put on the agenda.

How many more years can Hiruzen Sarutobi continue?

It's estimated that it will be difficult even within a year.

Besides, he's already old; he might pass away any day now.

Danzo Shimura felt much better after thinking about it.

"Lord Danzo."

Another Root ninja slipped into the office and said, "Kai is missing. We can't find him anywhere."

Danzo Shimura's smile froze instantly, and his face darkened.

Kō, also known as Yamato, is a survivor of the Wood Release experiment and is of great value.

This not only means that he will have a loyal Wood Release subordinate in the future, but it will also give Hiruzen Sarutobi a big surprise.

Danzo Shimura was excited at the thought of this scene.

But now it's all gone.

A's disappearance is undoubtedly very dangerous for him.

If it falls into Hiruzen Sarutobi's hands, then his Wood Release experiments with Orochimaru will be exposed.

It's like giving away a knife for no reason at all.

Hiruzen Sarutobi can use this reason to better control him.

"Say it again!"

Danzo Shimura asked sternly.

"Jia suddenly disappeared last night. The entire Root team searched all night but found no trace of him, so it is highly likely that he has left Konoha."

The Root ninjas explained it in more detail.

"Such a large person, vanished into thin air right under your noses?!"

Danzo Shimura could no longer contain himself and flew into a rage, shouting, "Useless! A bunch of useless trash!"

He placed Yamato at the training base.

Firstly, it gives him a quiet enough space to practice Wood Release.

Secondly, it is because the other members of the root system can watch over it at all times.

I thought it would be very safe, but something went wrong.

Danzo Shimura was driven to incompetent rage.

He has trained the Root members into emotionless ninjas who have fallen into darkness.

His anger was pointless.

Where is Orochimaru?

As Shimura Danzo gradually calmed down, he gripped his cane tightly and asked.

Orochimaru is currently nominally a member of Root, and together with Ryoma Aburame, he serves as his personal bodyguard.

But he didn't come today.

Orochimaru was conducting experiments at home.

Aburame Ryoma answered.

"Go and investigate his residence to see if there is any trace of A."

Danzo Shimura did not suspect Orochimaru without reason.

In the entire Konoha, there are only a handful of people or organizations that can leave the Roots with nothing.

This includes Orochimaru.

Ryoma Aburame is from the Aburame clan. He is skilled at manipulating insects and is extremely adept at reconnaissance. His abilities are among the best in Root.

The chances of him being discovered while investigating Orochimaru are very small.

Ninja Academy.

Natsume yawned.

The ninja-related courses are pretty good.

But the theory classes were extremely boring.

There are two main topics: the Hokage of each generation and the Will of Fire.

Among them, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, is of paramount importance.

Natsume suspects that he wrote the textbook.

They hyped him up as the strongest Hokage.

Logically speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi should know about Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.

He was also the latter's apprentice.

If that's the case, why would he acknowledge the title of the strongest Hokage?

After much thought, there was only one reason: to consolidate the Hokage's position and power.

Natsume glanced at Itachi Uchiha.

He listened very attentively.

Perhaps this is the origin of his following the Will of Fire.

According to the original story, Itachi Uchiha went to the battlefield to kill people at the age of four, graduated from the Ninja Academy at the age of seven, awakened the Sharingan at the age of eight, joined the Anbu at the age of eleven, awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and killed his father, mother, and entire clan at the age of thirteen.

His life can be described as "legendary".

Natsume wasn't particularly fond of Itachi Uchiha, but since it could boost his Destiny Points, he couldn't pass up the opportunity.

Of course, he had no interest in taking him under his wing.

This person is too dangerous.

If someone can kill their own parents, they might betray you one day.

Natsume dared not keep him by her side.

But he dared not stay, while someone else did.

Itachi Uchiha's first turning point in his life was undoubtedly joining the Anbu.

Natsume is now thinking of giving him to a guy who likes to adopt orphans.

It wasn't Yakushi Nono, but Orochimaru.

Of course, this isn't about offering help or warmth.

After Itachi Uchiha awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he became Orochimaru's natural counter.
