Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the beginning

"Damn it!"

At the last moment, looking at the particles of light flashing in the air, Uchiha Keisuke saw clearly what it was. It was iron filings, the countless iron filings that broke away from the previous explosion of the kunai.

These iron filings mixed in the mist formed by water vapor, making the ordinary Lightning Release - Ground Release, which originally had a power of only B level, have the power of A+ level Lightning Release.

Uchiha Keisuke knew he was doomed after being hit directly by an A+ level Lightning Release without any protection.

It was obvious that the enemy not only knew that he was an Uchiha, but also knew that as a genius of the Uchiha clan, he was best at water-style ninjutsu.

From the very beginning, the attacker based his thinking on the fact that the first thing he would consider when encountering a crisis is to use water escape technique, and then based on this he set up a tactic of using kunai blast to split the iron filings to increase the power of lightning escape technique for a decisive kill.

The attacker knew him well. Whether it was using water vapor to form mist to suppress his Sharingan's observation ability, or choosing the fatal blow of Lightning Release, a ninjutsu with an attack speed that made it difficult for him to react, every step was aimed at his weaknesses.

Such a targeted attack tactic to restrain him is definitely not something that the Hidden Cloud Ninja can do in a short period of time.

After all, he did not reveal his fighting ability in the Land of Thunder.

Uchiha Keisuke believed that this attack could never be done by ninjas from other ninja villages.

Although he is a famous genius of the Uchiha clan, he has never actually attended a ninja school. He is a family-type ninja trained within the family.

In addition, there were very few ninjas in the Uchiha clan who could carry out daily tasks, and he had never carried out a mission on behalf of Konoha before.

Therefore, the chance of his information being exposed is very small.

Not to mention being able to develop such detailed tactical routines targeting him.

Uchiha Kai believed that apart from his own family, only the Konoha high-level officials who had been targeting their Uchiha clan could collect detailed information on his abilities.

Moreover, they must know much more information than the ninjas outside, and only they can come up with such detailed and targeted tactics.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Keisuke felt very angry.

But the battle between ninjas is like a chess game. If you make a mistake in one move, the whole game will be lost. What's more, he lost more than just one move. His underwear was seen through. His loss was not unfair.

Uchiha Keisuke finally fell into a coma with reluctance and a hint of anger after enlightenment.

bump!

A charred body fell from mid-air and hit the equally charred ground.

At this time, there was no water vapor in the trap. The high temperature brought by the lightning escape just now evaporated all the water vapor.

tread!

Suddenly, a figure fell from the sky and stood beside the charred Uchiha Keisuke.

"What dangerous eyes!"

Uchiha Keisuke was covered in charcoal on the ground, but his eyes were open and safe. The three-magatama Sharingan was still flashing a dangerous scarlet light, showing the power of the Sharingan.

Seeing this, Danzo couldn't help but sigh, and his eyes were filled with heat.

As someone who had witnessed the power of Uchiha Madara and had experienced the power of Uchiha Kagami's Mangekyō Sharingan up close, Danzo was very clear about the power of the Sharingan.

In his opinion, the most powerful force in this world is undoubtedly the First Generation's Wood Release and the Uchiha's Sharingan.

Now the plan to revive Wood Release is nowhere in sight and there is no hope of success.

However, the Uchiha clan's Sharingan belongs to him from today on.

Danzo squatted down and took out a bottle from his arms. It was filled with nutrient solution for culturing cells, which could effectively preserve the activity of the Sharingan for a long time.

Danzo personally dug out Uchiha Keisuke's pair of Sharingan and put them into a preservation bottle.

Looking at the pair of three-magatama Sharingan floating and swaying in the transparent glass bottle, Danzo felt relaxed both physically and mentally at this moment.

"With this pair of Sharingan, I can perform the forbidden technique that changes reality."

Thinking of the terrifying secret technique of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, Danzo felt a burning sensation in his heart and wished he could install the pair of Sharingan right now.

However, the Sharingan is not so easy to control either.

He has to think of a good solution when he returns.

"Do it."

Danzo put away the bottle containing the Sharingan, and then ordered his subordinates to deal with Uchiha Keisuke.

This is the border. Even though we knew in advance that the patrol ninjas are at their farthest distance at this moment, who can guarantee that there won't be any accidents?

The best response is to leave quickly.

Uchiha Keisuke was not dead at this time, but he had lost the ability to resist and was no different from being dead.

Among the four-member Root team that went on missions with Danzo, one was from the Aburame clan, and was skilled in controlling poisonous insects with highly corrosive venom, making them an essential remedy for destroying corpses and covering up traces.

Under the venom of his poisonous insect, Uchiha Keisuke died quickly, and his body turned into a pool of blurry pus.

In the end, with a fire escape, the pus was completely turned into ashes. Even if a ninja came afterwards, they would not be able to find any useful information.

From then on, the genius ninja of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Keisuke, died in less than ten seconds.

That’s right, the battle just now lasted less than ten seconds, and that includes the time it took Danzo to dig out the Sharingan.

It has to be said that in the ninja's fighting world, strength is the foundation, but intelligence is also important.

Soon, Danzo led the Root team quickly through the border canyon towards the Land of Lightning.

Shortly after Danzo and others left, border patrol ninjas arrived after receiving reports of violent chakra fluctuations.

But they only saw a pile of ashes of corpses and obvious signs of a cleaned-up battlefield around them, and could not obtain much useful intelligence.

They only knew that someone died here, but they didn't know who died.

However, they did know that the murderer had left the border.

So the border patrol sent out a three-man assault team to chase the murderer.

No matter how sure it is that the other party is killing people within the territory of the Land of Fire, it is definitely related to the interests of Konoha. They must at least find out who crossed the border to kill people.

The patrol assault team followed the faint traces left by the murderer all the way to the border of the Land of Lightning and then stopped.

At this point, they all knew without any guessing that the murderer must be from the Hidden Cloud Village.

So the three of them went back, and at the same time a piece of information about the matter was sent to Konoha.

Five days later, based on the abnormal report about Kumogakure sent by the border patrol, the Sandai announced to the Uchiha clan that the Uchiha clan's genius ninja Uchiha Keisuke had failed in his mission and died.

Two days later, Danzo and his Root team returned to Konoha quietly, and no one knew they had been out.

Chapter 35 Danzo's Anxiety

Konoha.

root base.

In Laboratory No. 1, Danzo came here first after returning to Konoha.

He carefully took out a pair of Uchiha Keisuke's three magatama sharingan eyes from the bottle and put them into a nutrition cabin as high as a person for preservation.

"It's not enough, I need more Sharingan."

Taking another look at the Sharingan in the transparent glass cabin, Danzo thought to himself, and then walked out of Laboratory No. .

"Sir, the test subject sent by the Hokage-sama is placed in laboratory number two."

Outside the laboratory door, the remaining Root team leader spoke to Danzo who came out.

"Ah."

Danzo nodded, snorted lightly, didn't react, and had no intention of going to Laboratory No. 2. He went straight back to his office at the Root Base.

For Danzo now, what he is most anxious about is how to continue to attack and kill the Uchiha clan's ninjas so as to plunder more Sharingans from them.

As for the secret that the third generation said that the experimental subject was immune to illusions, it was very effective in restraining the Uchiha clan's Sharingan.

Danzo subconsciously touched his left eye and then smiled.

Ha ha!

Immune to illusions?

With the Mangekyō Sharingan in this mirror, what is there to fear from the mere illusion of the Sharingan?

Compared to the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, the ability to be immune to illusions is not worth mentioning at all.

The power of the Sharingan has never been an illusion.

But it is the terrifying ability that comes with the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Danzo felt a burning warmth in his heart as he thought of the purple figure he had seen from afar that was taller than a mountain.

As long as he can always possess Kagami's Mangekyō Sharingan, he will be able to maintain strength comparable to or even surpass Hiruzen.

And strong strength is the essential foundation for becoming Hokage.

His strength is the biggest guarantee for him to overthrow Hiruzen and take the position of Hokage.

Nothing is more important than him continuing to possess the Mangekyō Sharingan.

But... feeling the stinging pain in his left eye, Danzo frowned instantly and became secretly anxious.

There is a great repulsion between Kagami's Sharingan and his body.

Even though he had sealed it with a sealing technique, he was still unable to resist the continued damage to the Sharingan caused by the body's rejection.

Danzo could feel that in a year at most, the Mangekyō Sharingan in his left eye would be useless.

If he doesn't want to lose the Mangekyō Sharingan, he must solve the problem of the Sharingan's rejection by his body.

Otherwise... he could only hope to use the forbidden Sharingan technique that would permanently destroy a three-magatama Sharingan once, and see if that could change the reality that the Sharingan was incompatible with his body.

However, that forbidden technique also requires a lot of Sharingan experiments to find the secret technique that resides in the Sharingan.

In short, no matter which method he uses, he will need a lot of Sharingan to conduct experiments.

Therefore, Danzo currently needs to hunt more Uchiha clan ninjas to obtain more Sharingan.

After returning to his office, he was quickly called into the office by one of the two assistants that the Sandaime had assigned to Danzo.

"Who is the next target?" Danzo asked directly.

Sarutobi wave was wearing a mask unique to the Root, holding a notebook in his hand. He was a younger member of the Third Generation and one of the people who came to monitor Danzo. When he heard Danzo's words, he turned a page in the notebook and said, "The Uchiha clan's famous genius brothers, Uchiha Luffy and Uchiha Ace."

The two brothers had severely humiliated the third generation in the beginning, so the third generation specifically looked for these two brothers as the second target of the root.

"Brothers?" Danzo frowned, then asked, "How is their relationship?"

Sarutobi waved back, "They lost their parents when they were young and grew up relying on each other, so they should have a very good relationship."

Hearing this, Danzo frowned even deeper.

"Then we can only attack at the same time." Danzo murmured softly.

The closer the relationship with a companion in the Uchiha clan is, the greater the shock they will feel when they lose one.

The brothers Uchiha Luffy and Uchiha Ace both have three magatama Sharingan and are equally known as geniuses. Once one of them is killed first, the other one will inevitably receive a great mental stimulation when he gets the news, and there will be a slight chance that he may break through the Mangekyō Sharingan.

This possibility... must be cut off!

Danzo said in his heart.

The strength of the Uchiha clan is completely different depending on whether they have the Mangekyō Sharingan or not.

Even if Danzo could use Uchiha Mirror's Mangekyō Sharingan, he was not sure he could defeat Uchiha who possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Therefore, the Uchiha brothers must be killed at the same time.

This eliminates the possibility of the Mangekyō Sharingan being created.

At the same time, he can also obtain two pairs of three magatama Sharingan.

Smiling inwardly, Danzo asked directly again: "When will the attack be carried out?"

The attack on the Uchiha was ordered by the Third Hokage, who currently does not trust Danzo.

Moreover, the newly formed Root did not have the corresponding intelligence capabilities, and everything still needed the cooperation of the Third Hokage before Danzo could take action.

Sarutobi waved back, "After the two brothers have completed their five missions, we will start making a detailed raid plan."

"No." Danzo frowned and said unhappily, "It's too long. As soon as possible."

Five missions?

It took at least half a year after each of the five missions.
