Chapter 57 Is Madara Uchiha still alive?
"Lord Danzo, the Hyuga clan has caused trouble again!"
The night was as dark as ink, and the candlelight flickered dimly inside the stronghold at the base.
Danzo Shimura, who had just put on his outer robe and was preparing to set off for Amegakure that very night, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He had already made all the necessary arrangements.
The fact that Hanzo the Salamander needed so many resources to develop Amegakure shows that he was not content to remain silent and clearly wanted Amegakure to rise again in the ninja world.
As for Konoha, the undisputed number one ninja village among the five great ninja villages, since it had already promised to provide certain resources, it naturally could not go back on its word.
but,
Providing resources is possible.
As for what Shimura Danzo will do after arriving in Amegakure, that's another matter entirely.
Supporting Amegakure is Konoha's stance.
Danzo Shimura's strategy was to plant a seed within Amegakure beforehand, sowing discord between factions, and then, when the time was right, let that seed blow up the entire village.
If handled properly, Hanzo the Salamander and his faction will inevitably develop a rift.
By then, Konoha will be able to eliminate a potential threat that could grow in the future without incurring much cost.
It's not impossible to gradually find a way to break free from Orochimaru's control once the external threats are completely eliminated.
But now....
It's the Hyuga clan again? It's only been a few days.
It hasn't even been a week since Orochimaru led his team back to the village, has it?!
Danzo slowly turned his head, his gaze darkening as he fixed it on Kohinata Mukai, who had come to report. His voice was low and cold: "What's going on?!"
Kohyuu Mukai dared not be negligent in the slightest, kneeling on one knee and quickly reporting: "Reporting to Lord Danzo, when I was ordered to monitor the Hyuga clan, I discovered that they were secretly holding a clan meeting tonight and had sealed off the area around their clan territory. The atmosphere was extremely tense."
"I initially thought it was just a regular clan meeting, but after further investigation by Hyuga Seiran, I discovered that the core content of this clan meeting... seems to be related to 'Blue'."
"green?"
Danzo frowned, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
It's him again?
During this period, this name seemed to haunt me, frequently appearing in various intelligence reports.
He's everywhere.
"According to the message sent back by Hyuga Aoran, Hyuga Hiashi seems to have been greatly moved and inspired after witnessing the power that Ao displayed on the battlefield of Iwagakure."
He believes that the Hyuga clan may have been too conservative about the Byakugan in recent years, and has missed many possibilities.
"Therefore, he decided to re-examine the use of the Byakugan and prepared to take it to the clan's secret vault to access the Byakugan and ancient books that had been sealed away over the years, and to study the possibility of further development and utilization."
How is the use of Byakugan... and what does it have to do with Ao?
Does even Qing have eyes that roll?
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...
According to the information Danzo possessed, Ao's abilities relied more on his exaggeratedly wide-range energy-charging ninjutsu and his chakra control abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people.
As for the connection between it and the white eye, he really didn't know.
But before he could continue to ponder, the news that Kohinata Mukaiguchi revealed next shocked the entire Root base.
"But when they arrived at the secret vault, they discovered that all the Byakugan were sealed inside..."
"They've all disappeared."
......
Even Danzo, who was usually deep in thought, showed a rare moment of surprise upon hearing this.
"All the whites of your eyes are gone?"
"Yes, but that's not the key point. The most crucial point is that Hiashi Hyuga suspected you the first time."
"?"
"The entire Hyuga clan is now in a state of outrage. Many elders and clan members believe that no one but Root and you could have done this."
"Someone has even openly proposed it at the clan meeting..." Kohinata Mukai gritted his teeth and said it anyway: "...treason!"
rebellion?!
I did it?!
Danzo froze for a moment.
Beneath the bandages, the transplanted Sharingan began to spin wildly.
At that moment, he felt an utterly absurd emotion rush to his head.
If he really had Uchiha blood, he'd probably be so angry he'd unleash his Mangekyou Sharingan on the spot.
Danzo Shimura had been active in Konoha for many years, and the number of accusations he had taken the blame for and the infamy he had received was countless.
He would accept any conspiracy, any scheme, any shady tactic.
But to say that he was the one who stole Baiyan? How could that be?
Putting aside the fact that the matter itself is suspicious.
Even if he was the one who did it, why would he resort to such a ruthless attack on the Hyuga clan at a time like this?
"Where's the reel?"
"This is the content of the clan meeting recorded by Hinata Seiran."
Kohinata Mukai hurriedly presented a scroll of information with both hands, not daring to delay even for a moment.
Danzo took it and quickly unfolded it.
By the dim light, the records on the scroll came into view line by line:
"It must have been Danzo who did it!"
"In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, apart from Danzo, no one would do such a disgusting thing!"
"Damn Danzo, does he really think the Hyuga clan is easy to bully?!"
"Chieftain, why don't we rebel?"
"While the village is still recovering, let's march straight to the root of the sect and wring the head off that old scoundrel Danzo!"
"You stole my Byakugan! This is an irreconcilable hatred!"
The further down the page he read, the calmer Danzo's expression became.
Logically, he should have been furious upon seeing these insults and murderous intent.
But for some reason, he suddenly laughed.
The root members on guard around were all stunned.
No one expected that Lord Danzo, who was always gloomy, taciturn, and never showed his emotions, would laugh out loud at such a moment.
Gradually, the laughter stopped.
His face, hidden beneath the bandages, turned completely somber at that moment.
"Okay, very good."
"How dare you pin such a huge label on me, making me the scapegoat for my loss and now trying to shift the blame?"
"All root members, listen to my command..."
Just as Danzo was about to issue orders to surround the Hyuga clan's territory, Ryoma Aburame appeared silently beside him and whispered something in his ear.
The other Root members saw Danzo's already extremely gloomy expression suddenly change.
It was like shock, or perhaps the resentment of having some plan forcibly interrupted.
In just a few breaths, Danzo's eyes flickered, clearly weighing the pros and cons at lightning speed.
In the end, Danzo suppressed his previous order and instead said in a deep voice, "Terai."
"exist!"
"Reassign some of the Root members who were originally monitoring the Uchiha clan to the Hyuga clan."
"Keep a close eye on their every move, and report any unusual activity immediately."
"yes!"
Danzo paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"As for the rest of you, stay put and wait for my instructions."
"Yes, sir!"
After saying this, Danzo said no more and turned to leave.
Ryoma Aburame followed silently.
The two walked quickly toward the Hokage Building, one after the other.
At this moment, the moon was bright and the stars were few.
The hustle and bustle of the day has been gradually soothed by the night, leaving only a rare tranquility.
As early summer approaches, patrolling ninjas occasionally sweep across the streets of Konoha.
The shadows of the trees swayed, and the evening breeze was slightly cool.
But beneath this tranquility, there was clearly a sense of impending doom.
Shimura Danzo did not stop along the way, and his pace was even more hurried than usual.
It wasn't until he pushed open the door to the Hokage's meeting room and glanced around that his gaze darkened slightly.
really.
The top officials of Konoha have almost all arrived.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade carrying a bag, Shikaku Nara, Minato Namikaze, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
There is also an unofficial member of the Root organization, Hinata Seiran.
And one.....
A Konoha ninja who has fallen into a coma?
Danzo scanned them one by one, his gaze lingering on Hyuga Seiran for a moment, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
He walked expressionlessly to his seat and slowly sat down.
"It's Danzo..."
From the main seat, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke calmly, nodded slightly to him, and then turned his gaze back to Aoran Hyuga, "Aoran, you can continue."
"Yes, Lord Hokage."
Hinata Seiran nodded slightly and slowly revealed a bombshell.
"Lord Hokage, esteemed lords."
"Uchiha Madara... seems to still be alive."
