Konoha teaches, then stands in the sky

"Uchiha Madara" can investigate information that his Root cannot, so how can Shimura Danzo feel at ease to cooperate with "Uchiha Madara".

"The Ninja Clan is becoming stronger and stronger, and is still repairing its relationship with the Rain Village. It is also getting closer to the Iwagakure, and the threat to Konoha is too great." Danzo Shimura frowned.

There was no information about the Ninja Clan's inheritance, but the Root still managed to collect information about the unlimited lectures.

This made Danzo Shimura feel deeply uneasy.

The Rain Village is originally the strongest of the small ninja villages under the five major ninja villages. If the Ninja Clan is added, it will be the strongest ninja force under the five major ninja villages. The overall strength is much stronger than the peak Rain Village during the Second Ninja World War.

Now, even if it is not for the Rinnegan and the inheritance of the Ninja Clan, Danzo Shimura also wants to destroy the Ninja Clan.

Danzo Shimura stood up and wanted to go to the Hokage's office to find Sarutobi Hiruzen, but soon sat down again.

He knew Sarutobi Hiruzen too well. With Sarutobi Hiruzen's personality, he would never attack the current Shinobi Clan, unless the Shinobi Clan reached an agreement with Iwagakure to advance and retreat together.

Danzo Shimura couldn't help but sigh. It was a pity that he was so loyal to Konoha, but now he was in a situation where he had no way to report to the village.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is indecisive and does not agree to attack the Ninja Clan, and his Root does not have the power to deal with the Ninja Clan. Can he only watch the Ninja Clan grow step by step into a mortal threat to Konoha?

"No, absolutely not!" Shimura Danzo immediately denied it in his heart.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, standing in the light, could do nothing, but as the Dark Lord of Konoha, he could not remain indifferent.

Just when Danzo Shimura was worrying about how to deal with the Ninja Clan, the door of his office was opened.

Danzo Shimura wanted to scold him immediately for entering his office without knocking.

However, when Danzo Shimura saw who was coming, he shut his mouth.

"Danzo, you're so disappointing. So much time has passed and you've done almost nothing." The black-robed masked man said bluntly.

Danzo Shimura's face darkened instantly. He didn't even mention the issue of "Uchiha Madara", but the other party started talking about him.

"How can you know my actions?" Danzo Shimura snorted coldly, suppressing his unhappiness.

"Isn't it just sending some people to investigate intelligence? Actually, you can just tell me. I can give you any information you want about the Ninja Clan." The masked man smiled indifferently.

Danzo Shimura frowned. He was asking questions on purpose and had already guessed the outcome.

But when he heard that the actions of the Root were completely within the sight of Uchiha Madara, Danzo Shimura couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

He spent so much effort to build the roots, but in the end he was completely defeated in terms of intelligence by a hidden person.

"If Hiruzen hadn't been restricting the Root all this time, it wouldn't have turned out like this." Danzo Shimura thought it was Hiruzen Sarutobi's fault.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen had not placed so many restrictions on his root, his root would definitely be three or four times stronger than it is now, instead of being crushed by Uchiha Madara in terms of intelligence.

"I sent people to Liudao Castle not just to collect some information." Shimura Danzo said lightly.

Even if he really failed miserably in terms of intelligence, he couldn't let Uchiha Madara see it.

"I don't care what you want to do, but if you want to continue our cooperation and want to get Wood Release, then you must act according to my plan next." The masked man said firmly.

Then the masked man threw a scroll to Danzo Shimura.

Shimura Danzo was about to say something when the masked man interrupted him and said, "According to the plan above, I will help you."

"You can refuse if you want, then our cooperation ends here."

After saying that, without giving Shimura Danzo a chance to speak, the masked man left Shimura Danzo's office directly.

Danzo Shimura looked at the departing back of "Uchiha Madara" with a grim face. Even Hiruzen Sarutobi did not dare to treat him like this.

"Don't let me find out your identity." After saying this harshly in his heart, Danzo Shimura turned his gaze to the scroll.

Since this was the scroll given by Uchiha Madara, the cautious Danzo Shimura created a shadow clone and asked the shadow clone to open it.

After making sure there was no problem, Shimura Danzo began to take a closer look.

"Join forces with the Rain Village to surround and kill Sosuke." Danzo Shimura was speechless after reading the plan.

He thought that Uchiha Madara had some clever plan, but this was similar to his previous plan.

However, Uchiha Madara's plan requires all the Roots to be involved, while Shimura Danzo's own plan is to use the Rain Village as the vanguard.

"Moreover, if we use the village to threaten Hanzo, if the news leaks out, Hiruzen will probably disband the Root organization, and my assistant position will also be terminated." Shimura Danzo clasped his fingers together, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Uchiha Madara's method of breaking up the alliance between the Rain Ninjas and the Ninja Clan is to have Danzo Shimura represent Konoha to put pressure on the Rain Ninja Village and threaten Hanzo with war.

This is no small matter and is politically worse than human experimentation.

If the Hokage wants to go to war with a country, he has to hold a meeting. He threatened the Rain Village with war without saying a word. This is not just an act of meddling in other people's business.

Danzo Shimura understood the seriousness of the matter, but when he saw the line of words on the scroll, he couldn't help but be moved.

"Complete the alliance with the Rain Village and grant Wood Release before besieging and killing Sosuke."

There is no doubt that this is the help that Uchiha Madara mentioned.

As long as Danzo Shimura completes his plan to form an alliance with the Rain Village, Uchiha Madara will give him the benefits agreed upon previously in advance.

Given Shimura Danzo's suspicious nature, he certainly wouldn't believe it immediately.

He is the kind of person who would suspect that even if a strong person voluntarily joins the Root, the other party wants to assassinate him.

But after careful consideration, Danzo Shimura discovered that "Uchiha Madara" was actually quite sincere.

Because this Wood Release was given before the siege on Sosuke.

If the reward was given after the encirclement and assassination was successful, Danzo Shimura would definitely not agree to this plan. He would be forced to take such a big risk without any benefit.

Giving it before the siege proves that Uchiha Madara really wants to kill Sosuke, and would rather give Shimura Danzo the Wood Release in advance to increase the probability of killing Sosuke.

"We can't let the Rain Country continue to grow stronger." Danzo Shimura looked at the information sent by the Root Ninja on the table and finally made up his mind.

For the safety of Konoha, he had no choice but to do it.

If the plan succeeds, the ninja forces of the Rain Country will fall into unprecedented decline. He can also possess the Ninja Clan's inheritance and Wood Release, and have a stronger power to protect his Konoha. It can be said that it is a win-win situation for Konoha.

As for failure, Shimura Danzo found it unlikely.

This plan either stops at joining forces with Hanzo, or it succeeds.

The Root and the Rain Village have joined forces, and with Uchiha Madara working in the dark, how is it possible that they cannot destroy the Ninja Clan?

If we leave out Sosuke, Kakuzu and Nagato, the Ninja Clan is just an ordinary ninja organization.

In other words, Danzo Shimura is not the Hokage. If he were the Hokage, there would be no need to go through so much trouble. Jiraiya and Orochimaru could easily wipe out the Ninja Clan with an army of a thousand people.

Chapter 601 End of Course

The Land of Rain, Six Paths City.

Early in the morning, Scorpion got up on time, brushed his teeth and washed his face in the bathroom, then opened the door and prepared to go to the Ninja Clan's cafeteria for breakfast.

As soon as he opened the door, Scorpion saw Nagato standing under a big tree ten meters away from his door.

Nagato nodded to Scorpion, and then the two of them went to the Ninja Clan cafeteria together.

"I say, you don't live here, so why do you have to come here every day? I can complete the task as usual without your supervision. After all, I also want to regain my freedom as soon as possible." On the way, Scorpion said with a dissatisfied look on his face.

Ever since that day when he skipped work by not eating breakfast, Nagato would wait for him at the door every morning to eat together.

Before Scorpion's biological clock got properly adjusted, Nagato would knock on the door and call him if he went to bed late.

This made Scorpion a little unhappy. From childhood to adulthood, only his parents had disciplined him like this, not even his grandmother.

Seeing that Nagato seemed to be addicted to supervision, Scorpion became a little anxious and no longer cared about Nagato's right to control his freedom.

"Not supervision." Nagato shook his head.

He didn't come here to be a supervisor, he just wanted Scorpion to develop the habit of eating on time so that Scorpion wouldn't be too lonely.

They were both children whose parents died very early, and Nagato saw a little bit of his own shadow in Sasori.

Before he met Yahiko and Konan, Nagato wandered everywhere and often had a feeling that in such a big Rain Country and such a large Ninja World, there was no place for him to stay and no one he could rely on.

Although the two of them might be facing different situations, Nagato could sense the loneliness that Sasori felt.

Nagato wants to become Sasori's Yahiko so that he will no longer be lonely.

"What is that? You really think of yourself as my brother, don't you?" Scorpion couldn't help but sneer.

Nagato showed a thoughtful expression, then asked, "When were you born?"

If I can't be Sasori's Yahiko, I can be his brother.

"November 8, xx." Scorpion answered subconsciously.

"Then there is no problem with age. I was born on September 19th, xx, the same year but earlier." Nagato nodded.

Both in terms of age and height, he is qualified to be Scorpion's older brother.

Scorpion looked at Nagato with a frown on his face, and said to him sarcastically, "You're taking advantage of the situation by hitting the snake with a stick."

You think that just because you have the same hair color and are a little taller than him you can take advantage of him, right?

"What do you mean it's no problem? I didn't agree." Scorpion said speechlessly.

"Let's go have breakfast." Nagato said calmly.

Looking at Nagato's indifferent expression, Scorpion suddenly felt annoyed.

We are obviously of the same age, so why is she always so calm when facing his provocative words, as if he is making a fuss and being unreasonable.

Scorpion thought about it carefully and felt that this was really a bit like a good-natured brother treating his naughty younger brother gently.

"We have a class with Mr. Sosuke later, so we have to go early." Nagato said when he saw Scorpion suddenly standing there with an unhappy look on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Today is the fourth day of unlimited lectures. They have also attended the courses of the previous two days. Since there are many Sand Hidden Ninjas on the scene, Mu Yue also gave Scorpion a small benefit. The sealing technique will not be maintained during the lectures, allowing Scorpion to perform transformation techniques to disguise himself.

Scorpio actually thought about taking this opportunity to run away.

Because he felt that with so many ninjas suddenly pouring into Liudao City, it would be very difficult for the Ninja Clan to manage it. In addition, they would not be sealed for more than ten days, which was a perfect opportunity to escape.

But when Scorpion thought about what Sosuke said, if he was caught escaping, his sentence would be tripled, he didn't want to take the risk.

Scorpion had seen Nagato's perception ability, and he was not very confident that he could escape from Nagato's hands. Coupled with the mysterious Sosuke, Scorpion did not want to take the risk.

If I lose this bet, there will be no hope of revenge.

Scorpion didn't reply, but just walked silently towards the cafeteria.

Although Scorpio doesn't particularly like Sosuke, he has to admit that the title of Ninja Master is not wrong.

Scorpion is a specialized puppeteer and has no interest in other people's ninjutsu, but he can listen to Sosuke's lessons.

After the two finished their meal, Scorpion used the transformation technique and then walked towards the training ground where the lecture was to be held.

They arrived neither too early nor too late, and there were already quite a few people standing on the training ground.

"Last time it was seven days and this time it's eight days. Will the total number of teaching days become nine days for the third time?"

"It's difficult. Mr. Sosuke's lessons are of such high quality that it feels like I have to prepare for a long time. I don't know when the next one will be."

Since Mu Yue hadn't arrived yet, the waiting ninjas were chatting with acquaintances.

Nagato and Sasori walked to where they had stood during the previous two classes and waited quietly.

About twenty minutes later, Mu Yue arrived at the training ground and walked to the podium amid the greetings of Teacher Sosuke.

At this time, the originally noisy training ground quickly became quiet, and the ninjas all looked at Sosuke.

Mu Yue smiled slightly and asked a few lucky students to answer their questions. When the time came, the formal course began.

Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, Scorpio realized that dusk had arrived.

After having dinner with Nagato in the Ninja Clan cafeteria, Scorpion went to the laboratory specially prepared for him by Mu Yue to begin researching puppet prosthetics.

Normally, Scorpio studies during the day, but during the lecture period, he had to attend classes during the day, so he changed it to the evening.

When he first entered the laboratory, Scorpion occasionally thought about Kakashi and Nagato. After studying for a while, Scorpion began to concentrate on studying the puppet prosthesis.

The reason why Scorpion came into contact with puppetry was not very pleasant. It was Chiyo who taught Scorpion puppetry in order to divert Scorpion's pain from losing his parents.

However, after coming into contact with puppetry, Scorpion really fell in love with it.

Puppets will not die or disappear inexplicably, and they can be repaired if broken. Things that can exist forever are what Scorpio believes to be true art.

Therefore, Scorpio often becomes so obsessed with studying puppetry that he forgets to eat and sleep.

"It's almost time to wash up and go to bed." Nagato, who was practicing in the training room next door, walked into the laboratory and reminded.
