Chapter 394: Shin Uchiha
In Root headquarters.
Yamanaka Fū and Aburame Torune had been extremely anxious lately. Danzo was trapped in the Land of Lightning, and they were too far away to be of any help.
The many minor ninja clans loyal to Danzo and the wandering ninja he had secretly recruited were all showing varying degrees of wavering. Could Lord Danzo be dead? If Lord Danzo dies, we'll all go our separate ways.
To stabilize morale, Fū and Torune took turns using the Transformation Jutsu to appear as Danzo, occasionally taking a stroll to show that he was still around and that the outside world was full of nothing but rumors.
Regardless of whether it was self-deception, in an era of poor information flow, it was somewhat effective.
Yamanaka Fū was desperate, but with Danzo absent, not just Jiraiya, but even Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado had changed their tune. Sending Konoha troops to rescue him? Not a chance!
They in Root had to find a way themselves.
As his good friend, Aburame Torune, much like the other members of the Aburame clan, usually had an exceptionally faint presence. He didn't have any good ideas now either.
Today, it was Torune's turn to go out and show himself. He transformed into Danzo's appearance, leaning on his cane, and strolled through the streets.
There were too many ninja in the village, and a jutsu of the Transformation Technique's level was very easy to see through. He didn't dare go to crowded places, often just making a brief appearance in the backstreets and alleys before calling it a day.
He walked into a dim alley, and suddenly, a person wearing a black cloak with red clouds and an orange swirl mask appeared behind him.
"Akatsuki?!" Torune took two steps back, assuming a defensive stance. He glanced at the person's mask out of the corner of his eye. That's right, under the mask was a genuine three-tomoe Sharingan. Worried about falling into a genjutsu, he didn't dare to look for long.
"You're Danzo? If I recall correctly, Danzo should be in the Land of Lightning right now, shouldn't he?"
"What do you want!"
"Don't be nervous. Didn't 'you' and I cooperate quite pleasantly during the night of the massacre? To help an old friend return sooner, let me give you a suggestion, shall I?"
Aburame Torune was extremely wary of the Sharingan and didn't dare look at the three-tomoe Sharingan under the mask.
He knew his Transformation Jutsu had long been seen through. He said in a low voice, "What suggestion do you have?"
The masked man said softly, "Don't be nervous, it's really just a suggestion... The Cloud Village has laid an inescapable net in the Land of Lightning. Without a pair of eyes that can see through everything, it's impossible to escape."
Torune's expression soured, feeling that the other party was mocking him. "Are you recommending yourself?"
The masked man held up a finger. "Of course not. It's too dangerous over there, I wouldn't go. An Uchiha could certainly rescue Danzo, but I'd advise you not to get any ideas about Sasuke, unless you want to fight Itachi to the death... Let me give you a name: Shin Uchiha. This fellow, who isn't in Konoha, has a Sharingan. He can help you rescue Danzo."
When Torune looked up again, the masked man had already disappeared.
He hurried back to Root headquarters to discuss it with his good friend.
Yamanaka Fū was stunned. "Shin Uchiha? I've never heard that name. Is he a ninja from the Uchiha clan?"
As Danzo's right and left hands, they had access to some of his secret records.
Yamanaka Fū went to check the village's historical records, while Aburame Torune checked the records of the secret missions handled by Root.
There was some information they knew, and some that even they didn't, which only Danzo, as the leader, could control.
The two were very efficient, and their search was quick.
They found the name Shin Uchiha in several experiment reports.
Without a doubt, this person was an experimental subject.
What kind of experiment? Was he male or female? Where was he now? None of this was known.
The two began to focus on the experiment reports.
Aburame Torune picked up an investigation report on Orochimaru from back in the day and said, "Fū, this document records the list of experimental subjects Orochimaru handled in those years, as well as the types and quantities of drugs consumed. This record even includes the destination of the drugs. It seems we can follow the trail of the drugs, but we don't understand medicine. There are fifteen experimental subjects and over one hundred and seventy types of drugs here. Which one is it?"
Yamanaka Fū thought for a moment and said, "Don't rush. I'll go ask the young lady."
To the uninformed, Ino's medical skills were indeed very high. Shizune had publicly stated multiple times that Ino's medical ninjutsu was simply not of this world. According to Yamanaka Fū's very simple understanding, this level of medical skill should be very high...
With Ino's guidance, the two investigated and unexpectedly discovered that this Shin Uchiha was hidden very deeply, and his connections to Root, Orochimaru, and Danzo were far more extensive than they had imagined.
Yamanaka Fū took out three photos. "Based on the existing clues, these three people were all Orochimaru's experimental subjects during that period. They are all missing their right arms. Lord Danzo's right arm must have come from Shin Uchiha. The target can only be one of them."
Find Shin Uchiha, control him with the Mind-Body Switch Technique, and according to the masked man, this Shin Uchiha possesses the Sharingan. Then they could use him to rescue Danzo.
The Sharingan on Danzo's right arm had all been first transplanted onto Shin Uchiha's arm by Orochimaru. Only after there was no rejection reaction was Shin Uchiha's arm cut off and attached to Danzo.
In any case, a person has two arms. If they could cut off one back then, they could naturally cut off another now.
Rescuing Danzo and getting a future arm—one action, multiple benefits. They gradually narrowed down the scope and finally locked onto three targets.
The rest was simple. Root's execution had always been top-notch. That very night, Yamanaka Fū and Aburame Torune left the village with their subordinates.
Before they even mobilized, Ino had already set out.
She wanted to use the Amber Purifying Pot to extract the essence from a Sharingan, and then try to see if she could rejuvenate Kimimaro's "field," making it even more suitable for the Uchiha clan's Sharingan.
The harvest from two "fields" would surely be more than one, right?
Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan was exceptionally precious and couldn't be used for experiments. She could only try with an ordinary Sharingan. Both Obito and Danzo had plenty of Sharingan, but the former kept his eyes in a different dimension, and only the latter knew where his were. So, Ino set her sights on this Shin Uchiha.
The Flying Thunder God Technique and her giant clay bird gave her extremely high mobility.
There were three targets, and she wasn't sure which one it was.
She checked them one by one. Her luck was good; the second one was the target.
Shin was not from the Uchiha clan. He was originally an orphan. As one of Orochimaru's experimental subjects, he came into contact with and understood the world of ninja.
Shin sold his body—yes, in the literal sense, he truly sold his body—and was subjected to all sorts of modifications by Orochimaru, ultimately having an arm severed. But in the process of this transaction, he also obtained the knowledge he desired.
Itachi Uchiha turning his blade on his own clansmen and parents—this act deeply shook the young Shin. He felt this was his life's idol and immediately changed his name to Shin Uchiha.
Orochimaru, fearing his filial piety might turn sour, gave the arm with the Sharingan to Danzo and then let the man go. Stop thinking about me, and go find a place to vent your filial piety yourself.
Shin Uchiha possessed a special constitution that did not reject transplanted organs.
Whether it was Hashirama's cells or the Sharingan, they could all coexist in his body.
The moment Ino appeared, this strange man with more than ten Sharingan transplanted all over his body also turned to look at her.
His forehead, neck, and arms were densely packed with a multitude of Sharingan. Anyone with trypophobia would surely be very uncomfortable upon seeing him.
