Chapter 179 Danzo's Regret

"Who killed you? Was it Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki?"

"Nagato?"

Upon hearing this name, Danzo immediately recalled the time when he and Hanzo had joined forces to persecute another Akatsuki organization.

He had received intelligence that a powerful organization had emerged in Amegakure that was able to rally people's hearts and minds, and that it was growing stronger recently.

After some investigation, I learned that the organization's philosophy was completely opposite to my own.

So Danzo, under the pretense of protecting Konoha's safety, quickly sent people to Amegakure to contact Hanzo, intending to eliminate the organization.

After being persuaded by Danzo, Hanzo, who had been terrified of Konoha during the Third Shinobi World War, agreed to the demand to eliminate the Akatsuki organization.

As long as Hanzo takes action, regardless of whether the Akatsuki organization is actually destroyed afterward, Danzo will have achieved his goal.

If the Akatsuki organization is successfully destroyed, Amegakure will lose a large portion of its war potential.

Those who joined Akatsuki were all ninjas from the Land of Rain, and the vast majority of them were young.

With so many young people dying, Amegakure's reserve forces are definitely in trouble.

Even if Hanzo hadn't destroyed the Akatsuki, it would have still created hatred between the two sides, plunging Amegakure into war between them.

Regardless of the outcome, it will be advantageous to Konoha.

He just doesn't quite understand it now.

Wasn't the Akatsuki organization from back then wiped out by Hanzo?

Afterwards, he also sent people to Amegakure to investigate, since all the people he sent had died, and Hanzo needed to give an explanation.

It was here that he learned that the Akatsuki organization had been completely wiped out by Hanzo.

Even the light screen says that he and Hanzo killed Yahiko, the leader of Akatsuki. Is there any truth to that?

Could it be that Hanzo made a mistake back then, allowing Nagato and the others to escape?

Danzo, having read the documents, naturally knew about Nagato. The Akatsuki organization was founded by him, Yahiko, and Konan.

Among them, Yahiko with orange hair is the leader of the organization, Nagato is the combatant, and Konan is in charge of the organization's finances.

Could it be that the Akatsuki organization we know today was rebuilt by Nagato and his remaining followers?

"I don't know if I died at the hands of Nagato, whom you mentioned. I only know that I died from a black rod with round eyes. That black rod pierced right through my heart."

"Don't you have so many Sharingan eyes that you can use Izanagi to revive?"

Jiraiya didn't dwell on whether Danzo died at Nagato's hands. He had already roughly guessed that the current Akatsuki organization was rebuilt by Nagato and Konan.

Do you think I'm useless?

At this point, Danzo's expression turned extremely gloomy. "There were more than one circle-eyed person who attacked me; there were five in total. Some of them could summon numerous summoning beasts to attack, some could absorb chakra from ninjutsu, some could use mechanical weapons, and some could fly in the sky to attack. I died at the hands of this flying circle-eyed person. The most outrageous thing is that one of the circle-eyed people had a secret technique that allowed him to revive other circle-eyed people."

These words contained a great deal of information, and everyone present listened very carefully.

It has been confirmed that the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya and the Third Hokage created these puppets with circular eyes using Nagato's Rinnegan abilities.

They already had some guesses after seeing the light screen.

Hearing Danzo's words now only confirmed their suspicions.

Even Danzo, who was talking and recalling the battle, began to doubt whether these people with circumference eyes were alive.

"These circle-eyed beings are very powerful. Taking advantage of their lack of understanding of Izanagi, I ambushed and killed the circle-eyed being who could summon summoned beasts after my first death. However, he was later resurrected by another circle-eyed being."

During the battle, I also discovered that their vision seemed to be shared. Even though my attacks were in a blind spot, the guy with the round eyes I attacked seemed to have eyes in the back of his head and easily dodged the attacks.

And that circle-eyed guy who was resurrected—his resurrection speed was too fast, and it seems there were no side effects.

After all this, I feel that the people I fought weren't living people, but rather like corpses controlled by something.

Danzo had said so much, and he originally thought that the Third Hokage and others would be very surprised.

After all, everyone knows about puppets; the Sand Village is very good at using them.

But the puppets in Sunagakure are just inanimate objects. He's never seen a puppet like the one with the round eyes that can speak, communicate, and use various secret techniques before in all his years of life.

However, the Third Hokage and Jiraiya did not show the slightest surprise, which made Danzo realize that something was wrong.

"What? You knew all along that these people were puppets, didn't you?"

"We've only made some guesses based on the bits and pieces revealed in the video on the light screen."

"Then can you tell me, what exactly are these puppets?"

"Of course you can. The circle eyes you mentioned are actually the Rinnegan, one of the three great dojutsu of the ninja world, also known as the Sage's Eyes."

"The Rinnegan?"

"That's right. Those puppets that attacked you were most likely controlled using the Rinnegan."

"Damn it, I never expected that there would be a Rinnegan in the Akatsuki."

If he had known this earlier, he should have gone himself when Hanzo ambushed the Akatsuki, instead of sending a few Root ninjas to oversee the battle.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Furthermore, when he learned that all the Root ninjas he had sent were dead, he should have become alert and realized that something was wrong.

He never expected that Hanzo would lie about this matter.

Even though he only killed Yahiko, he told the people he sent that he had killed all the members of the Akatsuki.

False information is harmful.

Didn't that kill him?

"That's true. If you had known that the Akatsuki had the Rinnegan, given your personality, you would definitely have taken matters into your own hands and snatched it. That's how Shisui acquired his Mangekyou Sharingan, isn't it?"

Danzo ignored Jiraiya's sarcasm and asked expressionlessly, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"There's nothing else to ask, but I need you to draw all five puppets that attacked you. How about that? Can you do it?"

"You underestimate me. When I was young, I was a fine young man in the village. I was skilled in calligraphy, painting, and chess. Unlike some old scoundrel who only knows how to peep at the bathhouse every day, he's really vulgar."

"Ahem. Danzo, don't talk nonsense. I just happened to be passing by."

"Stop explaining. Explaining is just covering up, and covering up means it actually happened."

As he spoke, Danzo glanced at Jiraiya and said, "Like master, like disciple. Look what you've done to the Fifth Hokage of Konoha."

"."

The Third Hokage and the Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, remained silent.

They no longer wanted to talk to Danzo; they just wanted him to draw the five puppets so they could quickly return to the Pure Land.

At this moment, the perceptive Orochimaru took out the paper and pen he had prepared beforehand and looked at Danzo with a strange smile.

"Thank you for your help, Lord Danzo!"

"Hmph! You're no better than a poisonous snake."

He snatched the paper and pen from Danzo and began drawing, muttering to himself.

"Speaking of which, all three of you Sannin were corrupted by Hiruzen. One was a lecher, one was a gambler, and one was ruthless."

"Good heavens, it has all three evils: pornography, drugs, and gambling."

"Hiruzen, you really are a great teacher to them."
