Chapter 610: Furious Danzo
"Wood Release: Tree World Birth!"
As Shimura Danzo quickly formed seals with his palms, a large amount of chakra in his body quickly transformed into Wood Release chakra.
Bang Bang! !
With Shimura Danzo as the center, a large number of trees continued to break out of the ground and grow rapidly, forming a small forest.
"Although it is still not as good as the first generation, it should be enough to deal with Sosuke." Shimura Danzo looked at the hundreds of trees around him and smiled proudly.
After more than 20 days of training, his Wood Release has improved a lot.
This made Shimura Danzo feel that he was a one-in-a-million Wood Release genius.
It was not that Shimura Danzo was narcissistic, but that was the reality.
If it was not his own talent, could it be because of "Uchiha Madara"'s experiment?
That was too illogical. How could "Uchiha Madara" be so kind to help him improve his strength?
Shimura Danzo now has an inexplicable confidence, thinking that even if he does not have the inheritance of the Ninja Sect and the Samsara Eye, he can surpass Sarutobi Hiruzen in strength after another year of training.
Of course, Shimura Danzo will definitely not let go of the inheritance of the Ninja Sect and the Samsara Eye, the more good things the better.
After the training, Shimura Danzo returned to the Root Base and summoned all the Root Ninjas in Konoha.
Now there are only six days left before the agreed date of the siege, and the forces of the Root in other places have all been arranged in the Land of Rain, leaving only the Root Ninjas in Konoha on standby.
"Danzo, everyone is here and can carry out the mission at any time." A Root Ninja reported to Shimura Danzo.
"You give this to Mu Yue." Shimura Danzo nodded, took out a scroll and handed it to the Root Ninja.
The safest option is to wait until Mu Yue leaves before handing the task to Mu Yue, but Shimura Danzo is worried that the time is too tight and there will be accidents.
If it were someone else, it would be fine, but this time it is related to his own safety, and he can't be careless.
Then Shimura Danzo selected a newcomer with the weakest strength to guard the Root base, and then ordered the Root ninjas to leave the village and rush to the Land of Rain.
As for Shimura Danzo himself, he did not leave immediately, but went to the Hokage Building.
He could not appear in Konoha in the next few days, so he had to show his face in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen before leaving.
He has been like this for the past few days, showing his face in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen every four to six days to show his presence.
Shimura Danzo walked to the door of the Hokage's office, and when he was about to push the door in, his hand stopped in mid-air.
Dongdong, Shimura Danzo knocked on the door of the Hokage's office.
After all, they are old classmates and old comrades for so many years. When he thought about what he would do in the future, Shimura Danzo felt that he should give Sarutobi Hiruzen more respect now.
"Come in." Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice came from the office.
Shimura Danzo pushed open the wooden door and walked into the Hokage's office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Shimura Danzo with some surprise. When he heard the knock on the door, he thought someone was coming to report the mission, but he didn't expect it was Shimura Danzo.
"Danzo, what do you want? If it's the same thing as before, there's no need to say it." Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the documents in his hand and asked.
Although knocking on the door is a good habit, after all, this is Shimura Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen always has a hunch that someone who is being attentive for no reason is either a traitor or a thief.
"Of course not." Shimura Danzo saw that his rare politeness did not get a good response, and he felt a little unhappy.
"It's time to get off work now. I just want to see if you have finished your official business. If you have, I'll invite you to have a drink." Shimura Danzo said lightly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a surprised expression, which was more surprised than when he saw that it was Shimura Danzo knocking on the door just now.
"The official business is indeed almost done, but are you sure you want to buy me a drink?"
Although Shimura Danzo was not born in poverty, he has good strength and is not lacking in the ability to make money, but Shimura Danzo is inexplicably frugal.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had never seen Shimura Danzo treat anyone to a meal.
This was rare among ninjas, because ninjas had high incomes, and it was common to treat friends to a meal after the mission was completed.
Compared to the expenses of ninja tools and secret medicines for training, treating people to a meal really didn't cost much.
"Forget it if you don't want to drink." Shimura Danzo turned around with a dark face and was about to leave.
"Drink, of course I have to drink." Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed with a smile.
If someone else treated him, Sarutobi Hiruzen would probably be too lazy to go, but if Shimura Danzo treated him, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to go once.
Considering the impact, the two did not eat in the store, but asked someone to buy wine and snacks and eat at Shimura Danzo's home.
"Why did you think of treating me to a drink today? Let's make it clear first, we won't talk about work during the meal." Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the skewers in the bowl and said leisurely.
Shimura Danzo's behavior was a bit abnormal. Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that Shimura Danzo might want to find another way and pass his proposal at the wine table.
"If you want to treat me, then treat me." Shimura Danzo said calmly.
The reason why he never treated others before was simple, he didn't want to spend money on others, anyway, Sarutobi Hiruzen and his friends didn't lack money.
As for why he wanted to treat them today, Shimura Danzo couldn't explain it clearly, he just wanted to treat Sarutobi Hiruzen on a whim.
Seeing that Shimura Danzo seemed to be just treating him to a meal, Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the skewers he hadn't finished and picked up the wine glass.
"It's really rare. Since I became Hokage, I don't seem to have drunk with you and Yan." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was appointed as the Hokage in a time of crisis. For a long time after becoming the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen was so busy that he seldom went home, let alone dinner with friends.
Later, he was not so busy, but everything was different at this time. Sarutobi Hiruzen was the Hokage, and Mitomon and Shimura Danzo were elders who assisted the Hokage.
Although everyone was still friends, for various reasons, the way they got along gradually changed, and they could no longer joke and drink freely as before.
"Humph." Shimura Danzo couldn't help but snorted coldly.
In his opinion, Sarutobi Hiruzen was completely Versailles. If the position of Hokage was given to him, he would live in the Hokage's office every day.
"If the teacher hadn't sacrificed himself that year, the result might not be like this."
Shimura Danzo felt that the situation was too critical at the time, causing Senju Tobirama to lose some judgment ability, so he directly appointed Sarutobi Hiruzen as the third generation Hokage.
If it was a fair competition, he might not lose to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Indeed, if the teacher had not sacrificed, Konoha would be more prosperous now." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said.
Whether as a Hokage or as a master of ninjutsu development, the loss of Senju Tobirama is a huge loss for Konoha.
Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen misunderstood his meaning, Shimura Danzo was too lazy to explain and continued to chat.
"Hiruzen, sometimes you have to be more decisive. We are the strongest ninja village and we must show our majesty."
"It is right to establish majesty, but it should not be to summon an army to invade other countries."
While chatting, the two had an argument because of their different political views. No one compromised and insisted on their own views.
Shimura Danzo thought Sarutobi Hiruzen was indecisive, and Sarutobi Hiruzen thought Shimura Danzo was too radical.
When the bottle of wine was empty, Shimura Danzo directly began to pack up, silently announcing the end of the gathering.
Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed dumbly, got up and said goodbye.
After he could no longer see Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo went back to the root base.
"I wasted eight hundred taels." Shimura Danzo felt that it was better to buy some food for Yamato than to treat Sarutobi Hiruzen.
If he bought food for Yamato, at least Yamato would be grateful to him. If he treated Sarutobi Hiruzen to drink, he would have to endure the anger.
At this time, there were only four ninjas in the Root Base. Except for one ninja who stayed at the base, the remaining three were waiting for Shimura Danzo to set off together.
After returning to the Root Base, Shimura Danzo went to a secret room.
"This time it's too dangerous. One insurance is not enough." Shimura Danzo thought while taking out a box filled with unknown liquid from the secret room mechanism.
Shimura Danzo quickly opened the box and fished out a bloody eye from it.
He was going to transplant the second Sharingan.
Since he was not from the Uchiha clan, he could not actively close the Sharingan after transplanting it. Even if Shimura Danzo mastered the Uchiha forbidden technique Izanagi, he only transplanted one Sharingan.
First, if the Sharingan cannot be closed, it will continue to consume chakra. Second, if both eyes are transplanted, both eyes must be covered, which looks too strange.
Now that he has transplanted Hashirama cells, chakra is no longer a problem. The most important thing is that it will be very dangerous to compete with "Uchiha Madara" for the Samsara Eye. Shimura Danzo wants an extra layer of protection.
The transplantation operation was completed quickly. When Shimura Danzo opened his eyes, he felt that his condition was better than ever.
"Is there any connection between Senju and Uchiha? Why does it feel like this to transplant the Sharingan now?" Shimura Danzo was a little confused.
When transplanting a Sharingan, Shimura Danzo felt that he had added a life-saving trump card to himself and added a permanent negative state.
In terms of combat ability, he was weaker with one Sharingan than before the transplantation.
But now that he has Hashirama cells, he transplanted an extra Sharingan, but he felt that he had become stronger, which surprised Shimura Danzo.
He just wanted to increase the tolerance, but he didn't expect to be strengthened.
"Master Danzo." A Root member handed over a special cloth strip.
Danzo Shimura didn't think too much and took the gauze to cover his eyes. These can be studied later. The most important thing now is to get the inheritance of the Ninja Clan and the Samsara Eye.
When it comes to making trouble, Danzo Shimura is very active and soon arrived at the Rain Village with the Root Ninja.
"Danzo, your eyes?" Hanzo found that Danzo Shimura no longer wrapped his head and right eye with bandages, but covered his eyes with an opaque cloth.
"It's just a little thing, it won't hinder our plan." Danzo Shimura said calmly.
This pair of Sharingan is his trump card, and he won't show it until he assassinates Sosuke.
"Is there any problem with Sosuke?" Danzo Shimura asked.
"He has agreed to the invitation to watch the Chunin Exam." Hanzo nodded and replied.
The event Hanzo chose to hold was the Chunin Exam.
However, in order to reduce the impact, Hanzo did not hold the joint Chunin Exam, which was a normal Chunin Exam.
"All we have to do now is wait for Sosuke to come in five days, and then we can proceed with the plan as scheduled."
"But, did you Konoha only send this few people?" Hanzo looked around, looked at the thirty Konoha ninjas around Shimura Danzo, and squinted his eyes and said.
"Sometimes, a small number of elites can play a greater role." Shimura Danzo said calmly.
This is all the ninjas that Shimura Danzo can mobilize without alerting Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Some of these ninjas were not even registered ninjas in Konoha, but were trained by Shimura Danzo outside Konoha.
"After all, Konoha is not like the Rain Village. If there is too much noise, it will attract a lot of attention."
Hanzo frowned slightly, but did not say much.
He did not intend to use the power of Konoha to get rid of Sosuke, so he did not care much about the strength of Konoha, but Shimura Danzo's words made him unhappy.
In the next few days, Shimura Danzo was not much different from when he was in Konoha.
Most of the time was spent on studying Wood Release, and then checking for loopholes in Sosuke's plan to kill him.
With only one day left before Sosuke arrived at the Rain Village, Shimura Danzo received two bad news.
The first bad news was that his Wood Release was slow to become stronger.
This was actually acceptable to Shimura Danzo, perhaps because he had absorbed too much knowledge recently, so it was not a big problem.
The second bad news made Shimura Danzo very uncomfortable.
"Hanyu Muyue actually failed at this time!" Shimura Danzo looked at the message from the Root Ninja of Konoha with excitement.
According to the plan, Muyue left for the Rain Village immediately after class today.
With Muyue's strength, it is not a problem to reach the Rain Village before dawn if he travels at full speed.
In this way, Muyue only needs to take two days off to "rest", and he can use it as his trump card to help him deal with Sosuke and "Uchiha Madara" in the Land of Rain.
As a result, Muyue was invited to dinner at Sarutobi Hiruzen's house today for some reason, and he had to explain ninjutsu to Muyue.
Based on Muyue's personality towards Sarutobi Hiruzen, it takes a suitable reason to refuse this invitation.
In this way, Muyue did not leave Konoha until eight o'clock in the evening.
Shimura Danzo was very angry. He could think clearly that if he refused badly, it would be easy to reveal flaws.
But in any case, Muyue did not complete his task.
As a Root Ninja, everything should be based on him, and he should do everything at all costs.
"Knock again after the battle is over. With his speed, he should be able to arrive before Sosuke comes." Shimura Danzo exhaled.
In order to prevent such accidents, he reserved some time for Mu Yue. Even if Mu Yue could not arrive before the battle, Mu Yue would definitely arrive after fighting for a while.
Shimura Danzo gradually calmed down, and his plan was still under control.
PS:
Except for the time when the second generation was left behind, I saw that Shimura Danzo's face was basically wrapped in bandages, so I think he should have transplanted the Sharingan as a resurrection coin to save his life quite early.
But the Sharingan arm must not be from this period. It must be after Orochimaru's research on Hashirama's cells yielded results and the Uchiha clan was exterminated.
