Crossover Anime: I'm Dominating Konoha, Sailing Through Bleach

So it wasn't that Shimura Danzo had become indifferent or unwilling to deal with the Uchiha clan's problems; rather, he simply couldn't do it.

If they insist on going head-to-head with the Uchiha clan, they will most likely lose their Root organization.

This is his own elite force, a powerful support for his future control of Konoha.

Danzo Shimura wouldn't be foolish enough to actually send his Root organization to be the vanguard against the Uchiha clan.

Isn't this paving the way for Hiruzen Sarutobi, or even the future Fourth Hokage?

Moreover, there was another matter that Shimura Danzo still held a grudge about.

He always wanted to become Hokage, and Hiruzen Sarutobi knew this.

But now that the Third Shinobi World War has ended, everyone knows that Hiruzen Sarutobi will become the scapegoat in front of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and will most likely have to step down.

But that old fellow showed no intention whatsoever of passing the position to me.

Conversely, the most likely candidates for the Fourth Hokage are Orochimaru or Minato Namikaze.

This matter made Danzo Shimura extremely dissatisfied.

Under such circumstances, it was even less likely that he would step forward to help Hiruzen Sarutobi resolve the troubles caused by the Uchiha clan.

At this moment, Danzo Shimura appeared completely calm and composed.

His idea is simple.

The Uchiha clan wanted to seize power and take over, and Uchiha Ryosuke openly declared that he wanted to become Hokage.

Since that's the case, let them make a fuss.

Who are the direct beneficiaries of this incident, and who should handle this issue?

This was what Danzo Shimura was thinking.

Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze were the direct beneficiaries, preventing the Uchiha clan from taking power. They were the two with the best chance of becoming the Fourth Hokage.

Therefore, they should take the initiative to solve this problem themselves.

"Danzo, say something!"

"The situation is now spiraling out of control!"

"We can't just sit idly by and do nothing, can we?"

Seeing that Shimura Danzo was ignoring her, Koharu, the girl in the tether, got anxious and spoke up as well.

At that moment, an ANBU ninja appeared in front of them.

"The letter to summon all the major clans and all Jonin has been drafted."

The squad leader of the secret service reported.

Upon hearing this, Mitokado Homura immediately issued an order: "Have all Anbu members split up and immediately deliver these letters to all clan heads and all Jonin!"

"Are there still some ninjas on the battlefield who haven't returned?"

Xiaochun reminded me as I changed dorm rooms.

"It will be too late once they return. We must notify all the main fighting forces in the village!"

Mitokado Homura waved his hand and said to the ANBU squad leader, "Go quickly!"

"Yes!"

The squad leader from the secret service immediately disappeared.

Danzo Shimura watched all of this silently, still not saying a word.

But inside, he was overjoyed.

"Danzo, are you really not going to make a move?"

Koharu Utatane turned around and looked at Danzo Shimura, asking him a question.

"The main responsibility of Root is to bear the darkness for Konoha and protect its safety and stability in the darkness."

"Although the Fourth Shinobi World War has ended, the threat from the major ninja villages has not been completely eliminated. We need to ensure that external enemies do not take advantage of the situation to cause damage to Konoha."

These words sounded very respectable.

However, it seems perfectly reasonable, making it impossible to find any reason to refute it.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu exchanged a helpless glance, knowing in their hearts that Shimura Danzo was deliberately trying to preserve his strength.

That's why they make up such excuses to brush it off.

It seems impossible to expect Danzo Shimura and his Root organization to step in and deal with the Uchiha clan.

Left with no other choice, the two had to leave.

After the two advisors left, Danzo Shimura looked toward a dark corner to the side.

At that moment, Uchiha Shisui suddenly appeared in front of me from the corner.

"Zhishui, go back and find out some information."

"Let's see if this is just Uchiha Ryosuke's idea, or if the entire Uchiha clan is planning a rebellion."

"Return and tell me immediately after you confirm the information!"

"This is what Danzo Shimura commanded."

Uchiha Ryosuke traveled at full speed and, just before dawn, caught up with the ANBU ninja who had gone to the capital of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire the day before, carrying letters of recommendation from the two advisors.

Sensing the movement behind them, the other party cautiously stopped by the roadside and prepared to lie in ambush and observe.

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Ryosuke appeared silently behind the other party.

He didn't even bother to say another word to the ANBU ninja, and directly knocked him unconscious before using genjutsu to control him and tie him to a tree.

He then took out the letter of recommendation from the other party.

Upon opening it, it was confirmed to be a letter personally written by Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, recommending Namikaze Minato as the Fourth Hokage.

Uchiha Ryosuke exerted a slight force in his palm.

A burst of wind-style chakra was released instantly, tearing the letter to shreds.

He had just finished doing all that when he suddenly became alert.

I subconsciously looked up in the direction I had come from.

"You've been following me for so long, you must have some skills now. Come out."

Uchiha Ryosuke said coldly.

"hehe..."

A somewhat sinister laugh came from behind the grove of trees.

Immediately afterwards, a figure with long black hair slowly emerged from the tree.

"To think it could sense my presence... that's quite an amazing perception."

Soon the other party fully revealed themselves.

Uchiha Ryosuke also got a clear look at his appearance.

He was a tall, thin man.

With long black hair and a pale face, he gave off a sickly yet unfathomable feeling.

With such an appearance, plus that highly recognizable laugh.

Besides Orochimaru, one of the "Legendary Sannin of Konoha", who else could it be?

Despite guessing the other person's identity, Uchiha Ryosuke did not reveal it, but instead asked curiously, "Who are you?"

"Heh... Don't you even recognize me?"

"It's truly unexpected that a brat like you could become a key member of the Uchiha clan."

Orochimaru walked over slowly with a wicked smile on his face.

At the same time, he launched a genjutsu attack directly at Uchiha Ryosuke.

However, what Orochimaru didn't know was that Uchiha Ryosuke had already seen through everything.

The moment he activated his genjutsu, Uchiha Ryosuke not only easily broke through it, but also awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan.

Orochimaru quickly arrived in front of Uchiha Ryosuke, who was standing motionless and seemed completely subdued by his genjutsu.

"I heard you want to be the Fourth Hokage, huh..."

"What a perfect prospect, but unfortunately you're in my way. I'll have to destroy you here."

As Orochimaru spoke, he slowly stuck out his tongue and spat out a Kusanagi sword from his mouth.

However, just as he was about to finish off Uchiha Ryosuke, his body suddenly seemed to turn to stone, completely unable to move.

Immediately afterwards, everything in the world underwent a dramatic transformation.

The original forests, vegetation, and pale sky have all disappeared.

Instead, there was a gloomy, gray atmosphere.

Even more shockingly, Uchiha Ryosuke, who should have been controlled by his own genjutsu, actually moved.

He grinned and gave Orochimaru a slight smile...

Chapter 60 The Fourth Hokage! Uchiha Ryosuke! Orochimaru!

"you...".

Orochimaru's pupils contracted sharply.

He instantly realized something: "Gold, Golden Binding Illusion Technique..."

My consciousness is clear.

Moreover, what they see is real-world stuff, but their bodies are completely unable to move.

This is a typical characteristic of the Golden Binding Illusion Technique.

Uchiha Ryosuke smiled faintly, his gaze fixed on the Kusanagi sword in Orochimaru's hand.

"It looks a bit disgusting, but it seems like a decent weapon, so I'll accept it without hesitation."

After saying that, he clapped his hands and instantly used a spirit communication technique to summon a sealing scroll.

Immediately afterwards, he sealed Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword directly into the scroll.

Including the four ninja swords he had previously acquired, he now possessed five powerful and renowned ninja swords.

Watching Uchiha Ryosuke's actions, Orochimaru's pupils flashed with a piercing light.

"Uchiha Ryosuke, heh..."

"Your illusion magic is truly astonishing. Is it because of those eyes?"

Orochimaru's gaze was fixed curiously on Uchiha Ryosuke's Mangekyou Sharingan.

He had barely finished speaking when he saw Uchiha Ryosuke's face darken.

"Just now, you tried to kill me, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru's expression instantly turned awkward, and his pupils contracted sharply as he realized something was wrong: "You, what do you want to do?"

Uchiha Ryosuke didn't speak, but instead slowly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a cold and ruthless expression.

He then retrieved the Exploding Blade: Flying Drop from the Summoning Scroll.

"I've heard that this weapon possesses powerful physical exorcism abilities."

"I've never seen it before, so I'll use your body today to verify if the legend is true."

As he spoke, Uchiha Ryosuke channeled his chakra, summoning and releasing the countless explosive tags that covered the blade of his Explosive Blade: Frozen Blade.

With a series of "clattering" sounds, hundreds and thousands of explosive tags landed on Orochimaru's immobilized body, wrapping him up in layers.

Orochimaru turned green with fright upon seeing this.

"What...what do you want to do?"
