The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Danzo was extremely emotional. Upon returning to Root and seeing the entire Root transformed into a pool of lava, his heart was bleeding.

In this timeline, Danzo wasn't harmed by Uchiha Kiyoshi, and Root's development proceeded smoothly, accumulating considerable strength. Yet, in just one move, Uchiha Kiyoshi destroyed half of it; no wonder Danzo was heartbroken. Not to mention, Uchiha Kiyoshi indirectly crippled his Mangekyou Sharingan—that was Kotoamatsukami!

At this point, when the culprit was mentioned, Danzo couldn't help but start cursing.

"Issue a warrant for their arrest! Issue a warrant for their arrest in the name of Konoha! Send ninjas to hunt them down; they must be killed!"

Danzo passionately denounced Uchiha Kiyoshi, while the others remained silent.

Jiraiya, in particular, looked at Danzo with one meaning: Go ahead and do what you want. You caused this mess, and I'm not going to clean up your mess.

This is quite awkward. There are only two Kage-level figures in the entire Hidden Leaf Village right now: Tsunade and Jiraiya. As the Hokage, Tsunade naturally cannot personally hunt down Uchiha Kiyoshi, and Jiraiya has almost explicitly stated that he will not go. Therefore, Danzo's claim of hunting down Uchiha Kiyoshi has become a joke.

However, due to Danzo's past power, no one laughed out loud.

However, people are no longer as afraid of Danzo as before. He has lost the support of the Hokage, lost the Shimura clan, and had his Root organization destroyed. Danzo's power is gone.

Now, the other ninja clan leaders are thinking about taking over the Shimura clan's affairs, the vacant positions, and how to distribute the resources.

Of course, we shouldn't bring this up now; we can discuss it privately.

Danzo realized the situation below and his face turned extremely ugly. He looked at Tsunade and saw that she had the same expression. He was so angry that his vision blurred and he felt like he was about to vomit blood.

Seeing that Danzo had suffered a great setback, Tsunade tapped on her desk, drawing everyone's attention.

"The reason I called everyone here today is to discuss matters concerning the Immortal Organization."

The crowd finally became serious. Before leaving, Uchiha Kiyoshi's words, "The Sage Organization sends its greetings to everyone," resounded throughout Konoha, and those words carried a lot of meaning.

The Sage Organization—since it's an organization, how many people are there? What are their strengths? And who are the members? Could it all be composed of ninjas like Uchiha Kiyoshi who harbor hostility towards Konoha? That would be terrible!

Tsunade turned her gaze to Jiraiya, and everyone else followed suit.

Jiraiya felt uneasy under her gaze.

Seeing Jiraiya's expression, Tsunade frowned and asked, "Jiraiya, the other party claims to be from the Sage Organization. What do you think of that?"

"That's right, Jiraiya, you've always called yourself the Toad Sage. Since this organization is named after a sage, could it be related to the Holy Land?"

Danzo, realizing something, interjected. His words seemed to imply a connection between the Sage Organization and the Holy Land, suggesting he wanted to drag Jiraiya into the mess.

The other high-ranking members understood immediately. They had simply followed Tsunade's gaze when she looked at Jiraiya. Although Danzo's words seemed to be trying to drag Jiraiya into the mess, they weren't entirely unreasonable, and they too showed expressions of curiosity.

Danzo's behavior truly disgusted Jiraiya.

That old geezer deserved to be called in.

"It's alright. As far as I know, Mount Myōboku has no connection with this so-called Sage Organization. Although the Three Great Holy Lands are collectively known, the three parties are not very closely connected. Mount Myōboku rarely interferes in major events in the ninja world, and Shikkotsu Forest has no interest in fighting. If we're talking about the closest connection, Ryūchi Cave is somewhat suspicious, perhaps related to Orochimaru?"

Although Danzo only mentioned Jiraiya on the surface, that sacred place was still related to Tsunade. Jiraiya realized this and knew that this guy wanted to talk about that sacred place, so he decisively passed the buck to Orochimaru.

In any case, the most ruthless and sinister of the three holy lands is Ryuchi Cave, and Orochimaru also betrayed Konoha, so Jiraiya had no qualms about passing the buck to it.

Chapter 214 Rumors

Espionage among the major ninja villages was quite serious. News of the attack on Konoha, the annihilation of the Shimura clan, and the heavy losses suffered by Root quickly spread throughout the ninja world.

At the same time, the name of the Immortal Organization quickly reached the ears of the high-ranking members of the ninja villages.

Putting aside the strength of the other members of this organization, the strength of the Uchiha ninja who attacked Konoha alone was enough to surprise many people. You have to know that at that time, the opponent was able to fight the Fifth Hokage Tsunade without being at a disadvantage, and even had time to launch a sneak attack on Danzo.

Moreover, as news of this battle spread, people quickly noticed the similarities between Uchiha Kiyoshi's methods and the battle in the Land of Fire a few days earlier, and analyzed the intelligence that Uchiha Kiyoshi was on the side of the battle at that time.

The analysis from Sunagakure was the most comprehensive. Gaara, who was attacked by Deidara and lost his Jinchuriki and was also the Kazekage, had a lot of knowledge about Deidara and Obito. Based on the news from Konoha, they deduced a great deal of information.

This was also the most unbelievable thing for them. Deidara and his companion had captured the Kazekage from their village, yet Uchiha Kiyoshi was able to fight against them and even win!

As time went by, news about Uchiha Kiyoshi was gradually filled in by the various ninja villages. Among them, Konoha Danzo made a great contribution by releasing all the information he knew about Uchiha Kiyoshi, hoping that Uchiha Kiyoshi would be hunted down by the entire ninja world.

I don't know if it's because I'm getting old and my brain isn't working as well, but I take these things too for granted.

If Uchiha Kiyoshi knew, he would definitely say, "It seems that Hashirama's cells aren't omnipotent. The body can maintain its peak condition, but the brain can't."

Among the information obtained by the five great ninja villages in the ninja world, there are several techniques revealed by Uchiha Kiyoshi, namely Giant Mode, Spirit Slash, and Lava Fireball.

The fact that an Uchiha ninja possesses Lava Release is something that intrigues everyone. It's said that he even awakened the Sharingan when he was in Konoha, meaning he has both bloodline limits.

So far, Mei Terumi is the only person in the ninja world with two bloodline limits, but now there's going to be one more.

Oh, Uchiha Kiyoshi's name has also been spread, "Uchiha Yun," which must have been spread by Orochimaru. I wonder what his motive was.

The ninja villages other than Konoha are taking a wait-and-see approach to "Uchiha Kumo" and the so-called "Sage Organization." After all, neither the Sage Organization nor Uchiha Kumo has shown any hostility towards them. It would be unwise to rashly provoke a conflict with an organization that possesses such a powerful figure as Uchiha Kumo. Moreover, it is said that the other party also possesses space-time ninjutsu and the ability to fly, which makes them even more daunting.

So they all chose to wait and see what the Immortal Organization would do next. They just needed to take precautions; there was no need for provocation.

As Uchiha Kumo's reputation spread, many people in the ninja world learned that there was still a survivor of the Uchiha clan. This news was especially important to those with ulterior motives.

Among those with ulterior motives were Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha.

"I wonder what Itachi Uchiha is feeling right now."

Inside a cave in the back mountains of Konoha, Uchiha Kiyoshi, who had gathered information from the outside and knew that his fame had soared, couldn't help but think of Uchiha Itachi. One wonders what Itachi was thinking at that moment.

Surprisingly, there are survivors of the Uchiha clan who have grown up and embarked on a path of revenge.

Is it regret for not eliminating the problem completely, or some other feeling?

After disappearing that day, Uchiha Kiyoshi did not leave Konoha. He simply found a secluded place in Konoha to hide, and he would usually disguise himself as a villager to go out and gather information.

After all, his purpose in coming to Konoha was to facilitate the flow of information within the village. While the black market also had a good collection of information, it cost money.

The operation a few days ago was very successful.

It's not a pity that Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't kill Danzo; it's reasonable that he couldn't. Danzo's many Sharingan eyes weren't just for show, and the method of cutting off his arm before killing him must have been almost impossible to replicate. Therefore, Uchiha Kiyoshi could only kill Danzo by killing him ten times, which would be very difficult with Tsunade and Jiraiya's obstruction.

This time, having severed Danzo's henchmen and destroyed most of his hard work, Uchiha Kiyoshi was already satisfied.

Revenge should be taken step by step; there's no rush.

Let Danzo live in anger and fear for a while.

Imagine you have an enemy who has mastered space-time ninjutsu and is watching you all day long. Are you scared?

In fact, Danzo realized his crisis after calming down in the past two days.

A ninja who has mastered space-time ninjutsu is watching him all the time. And this isn't like the masked man from before, who wasn't very strong and relied solely on space-time ninjutsu. Instead, it's a ninja who is quite powerful and has mastered space-time ninjutsu.

Moreover, Danzo knew a lot of things.

They also know many secrets about the Sharingan. Since the other party is so powerful, have those eyes already evolved?

Although he was very reluctant to face it, Danzo had to admit that this was the most likely possibility.

Each Mangekyou Sharingan possesses two exclusive eye techniques, both of which are extremely powerful. Since the opponent's two eye techniques have not yet been revealed, the threat is even greater.

"No, we can't just sit here and wait to die."

After much deliberation, Danzo decided that he could not wait to die.

The Root base was relocated to a location closer to the central residential area of ​​Konoha. Although this increased the likelihood of the base's location being exposed, at least others could arrive as quickly as possible if Root was attacked. Danzo knew that even if Tsunade and Jiraiya disliked him, they would still come to his aid immediately.

Secondly, he kept the barrier around the clock at the Root base open and added the ability to isolate space. Although the hastily added ability might not be able to stop the opponent's space ninjutsu, it was enough for vigilance.

Little did they know, Uchiha Kiyoshi's space-time ninjutsu wasn't something he could go anywhere with. Without a replacement and with the Root organization having a barrier in place, Uchiha Kiyoshi's chakra couldn't penetrate it, so he couldn't get in using space-time ninjutsu.

For a period of time afterward, "Uchiha Yun" seemed to have vanished without a trace, and the newly famous Sage Organization also disappeared without a trace.

The various forces that were curious about the Immortal Organization were also puzzled, wondering what was wrong with them, as they only showed themselves briefly before ceasing their attacks.

Among the forces interested in the Sage Organization, the Akatsuki organization has taken the most action, and even has Tobi and Deidara, who have personally fought against Uchiha Kiyoshi, making them one of the forces that understands Uchiha Kiyoshi the most.

They even believed they possessed more comprehensive intelligence than Konoha.

After all, they didn't know, or at least weren't sure, whether "Uchiha Yun" possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, nor did they know about Uchiha Kiyoshi's eye techniques. However, the Akatsuki organization was certain that Uchiha Yun had the Mangekyou Sharingan, which was certified by Tobi. Moreover, according to Tobi's judgment, one of the other party's abilities should be the ability to know everything.

Of course, the Akatsuki organization had different views on the Sage Organization and Uchiha Kumo.

Because of his own identity and Uchiha Yun's reaction at the time, Tobi knew that the other party already knew the truth about the massacre of the clan and was hostile towards him. Therefore, he always held a hostile attitude towards Uchiha Yun, and Deidara naturally had the same attitude.

Itachi Uchiha never explicitly stated his attitude, and few people knew what he was thinking.

However, Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, maintained an attitude of being able to cooperate with them.

He, who also harbored hatred towards Konoha, considered Uchiha Kumo, who shared that hatred, a good partner. Of course, he also noticed Tobi's hostility towards Uchiha Kumo, but while he didn't mention it openly, he secretly decided to try and reconcile with him to see if cooperation was possible.

As the situation in the ninja world changed, some changes also quietly occurred in Konoha.

With the help of some people, some voices have emerged in Konoha.

"Hey, did you know? The Shimura clan was wiped out a couple of days ago because of Lord Danzo. I heard that he came to take revenge."

"Yes, yes, I've heard that too. It's said that Lord Danzo is causing trouble everywhere and has many enemies."

"That's right. I've also heard that Lord Danzo abused his power and trained a group of his own ninja subordinates to do things for him and commit all sorts of evil deeds."

"That's nothing. I've also heard that Danzo has a lot of ninjas under his command, even more than those ninja clans. And that's not all. I've heard that he only uses so many ninjas to do his bidding, and he doesn't step forward when Konoha is in danger. He always stabs his own people in the back."

"Yes, yes, I've heard about it too. I heard that the Nine-Tails' rampage more than ten years ago was just like that. Not only did he not contribute, but he also prevented others from contributing."

The last villager lowered his voice as he spoke, and said in a hushed tone.

"Moreover, I heard that the Uchiha clan didn't contribute because the other side blocked them. If the other side hadn't blocked them and the Uchiha had contributed, so many people in the village wouldn't have died, and maybe the Fourth Hokage wouldn't have sacrificed himself."

A villager nearby added, "I've heard about it too. He continued to target the Uchiha clan afterward, and I heard that he orchestrated the massacre of the Uchiha clan."

Seven or eight villagers gathered together, talking about the news they had heard about Danzo. By the end, they felt their whole bodies tremble.

Stab them in the back and exterminate their entire clan—these methods are far too cruel for these villagers.

Although they had a very bad attitude towards the Uchiha clan a long time ago, and loathed these arrogant and cold-hearted guys, people always sympathize with the weak, especially since the Uchiha clan was in such a miserable state. They naturally sympathized with the Uchiha clan as well, and felt even more disgusted with Danzo, the murderer.

It wasn't just these few villagers; the same thing was being talked about throughout Konoha.

Danzo was also criticized by countless villagers, and some villagers even reported him to the Hokage.

Tsunade has been extremely annoyed lately.

She knew this was Uchiha Yun's doing; the other party had somehow spread the message, and although she didn't know why, it was definitely disgusting.

The key issue is that these things are all true, and she doesn't know how to suppress them. She can't very well deceive the public and deny everything, can she?

Chapter 215 Pillar of Shame

The entire Hidden Leaf Village is shrouded in rumors, or rather, this is the truth, not a rumor.
