Chapter 35 - Danzo's Anxiety
Konoha.
Root base.
In Laboratory No. 1, Danzo came here as soon as he returned to Konoha.
He carefully took out Uchiha Keisuke's pair of three-magatama Sharingan from the bottle and stored them in a nutrition capsule that was as tall as a person.
"It's not enough, I need more Sharingan."
Taking another look at the Sharingan in the transparent glass cabin, Danzo thought to himself, then he walked out of Laboratory No. 1.
"Sir, the test subject sent by Hokage-sama is placed in Laboratory Number Two."
Outside the laboratory door, the remaining Root team leader spoke to Danzo who came out.
"Um."
Danzo nodded, snorted lightly, didn't react, and had no intention of going to Laboratory No. 2. He went straight back to his office at the Root Base.
For Danzo now, what he is most anxious about is how to continue to attack and kill the Uchiha clan ninjas so as to plunder more Sharingan from them.
As for the secret that the third generation said that the experimental subject was immune to illusions, it was very effective in restraining the Uchiha clan's Sharingan.
Danzo subconsciously touched his left eye and then smiled.
hehe!
Immune to illusions?
With the Mangekyō Sharingan in this mirror, what is there to fear from the Sharingan's illusion?
Compared to the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, the ability to be immune to illusions is not worth mentioning at all.
The power of the Sharingan has never been an illusion.
But it is the terrifying ability that comes with the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Danzo felt a surge of heat in his heart as he thought of the purple figure that he had seen from afar, taller than a mountain.
As long as he can always possess Jing's Mangekyō Sharingan, he will be able to maintain strength comparable to or even surpass Hiruzen.
And strong strength is the foundation of the foundation that is essential to becoming Hokage.
His strength is the biggest guarantee for him to overthrow Hiruzen and take the position of Hokage.
Nothing is more important than him continuing to possess the Mangekyō Sharingan.
But... feeling the stinging sensation coming from his left eye, Danzo frowned instantly and felt secretly anxious.
There is a great repulsion between Kagami's Sharingan and his body.
Even though he had sealed it with a sealing technique, he was still unable to resist the continued damage to the Sharingan caused by the body's rejection.
Danzo could feel that in a year at most, the Mangekyō Sharingan in his left eye would be useless.
If he doesn't want to lose the Mangekyō Sharingan, he must solve the problem of the Sharingan rejecting his body.
Otherwise... he could only hope to use the forbidden Sharingan technique that would permanently destroy a three-magatama Sharingan once, and see if that could change the reality that the Sharingan was rejected by his body.
However, that forbidden technique also requires a lot of Sharingan experiments to find the secret technique that resides in the Sharingan.
In short, no matter which method he uses, he will need a lot of Sharingan to conduct experiments.
Therefore, Danzo currently needs to hunt more Uchiha clan ninjas to obtain more Sharingan.
After returning to his office, he was quickly called into the office by one of the two deputies assigned to Danzo by the Third Hokage.
"Who is the next target?" Danzo asked directly.
Sarutobi Hajime wore a mask unique to the Root clan and held a notebook in his hand. He was a younger member of the Third Hokage clan and one of the people who came to monitor Danzo. Upon hearing Danzo's words, he flipped open a page in the notebook and said, "The Uchiha clan's famous genius brothers, Uchiha Luffy and Uchiha Ace."
The two brothers had severely humiliated the third generation, so the third generation specifically targeted these two brothers as the second target of the root.
"Brothers?" Danzo frowned, then asked, "How is their relationship?"
Sarutobi waved back, "They lost their parents when they were young and grew up relying on each other, so they must have a very good relationship."
Upon hearing this, Danzo's frown deepened.
"Then we can only attack at the same time." Danzo murmured softly.
The closer the Uchiha clan's relationship with a companion, the greater the shock they will feel when they lose one.
The two brothers Uchiha Luffy and Uchiha Ace both have three magatama Sharingan and are also known as geniuses. Once one of them is killed first, the other one will inevitably receive a great mental stimulation when he gets the news, and there will be a slight chance that he can break through the Mangekyō Sharingan.
This possibility... must be cut off!
Danzo said in his heart.
The Uchiha clan's strength is completely different depending on whether they have the Mangekyō Sharingan or not.
Even if Danzo could use Uchiha Kagami's Mangekyō Sharingan, he was not sure he could deal with Uchiha who possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Therefore, the Uchiha brothers must be killed at the same time.
This eliminates the possibility of the Mangekyō Sharingan being created.
At the same time, he can also obtain two pairs of three magatama Sharingan.
Smiling inwardly, Danzo asked directly again, "When will the attack be?"
The attack on the Uchiha was ordered by the Third Hokage, who currently does not trust Danzo.
Moreover, the newly formed Root did not have the corresponding intelligence capabilities, and everything still needed the cooperation of the Third Hokage before Danzo could take action.
Sarutobi waved back, "Wait until the two brothers have completed their five missions before we start making detailed plans for the attack."
"No." Danzo frowned and said unhappily, "It's too long. Hurry up."
Five missions?
It took at least half a year after each of the five missions.
Mirror's Sharingan doesn't have that much time to wait.
Only by obtaining enough Sharingan as soon as possible can we research ways to weaken or even eliminate the Sharingan rejection problem.
"Danzo-sama."
Sarutobi waved and explained, "The information on Uchiha Luffy and Uchiha Ace is still incomplete. There are not many records of the two brothers' actions, and there is no accurate information on their specialized ninjutsu. Therefore, we can only let them take on a few more missions. Once we understand their abilities, we can implement the assassination plan. This way, we can ensure that everything is foolproof."
"Twice." Danzo held up two fingers and said, "I'll only give you a maximum of two missions to gather intelligence."
"I'm sorry, Lord Danzo, I can't do that." Sarutobi shook his head.
"Hmm!" Danzo's eyes narrowed instantly, staring at Sarutobi's fluctuations. It had been a long time since anyone dared to refuse him like this, except Hiruzen.
"This is an order from Lord Hokage." Facing Danzo's aggressive gaze, Sarutobi felt a great deal of pressure, as if he was being stared at by an evil ghost in the dark while washing his socks. His whole body went cold, and he had to quickly bring up the title of the Third Hokage.
But it would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned the Hokage. Once he said it was the Hokage's order, Danzo felt his aching heart hurt even more.
The words "I am the Hokage" seemed to ring in my ears.
"Huruzen's orders?"
A junior from the Sarutobi clan also used the title of Hokage to suppress him. Danzo was really angry and said angrily: "Then how does Hiruzen do things? Isn't collecting intelligence on the Uchiha clan ninjas going on all the time?"
"How come we can't even gather intel on two Uchiha brats, and it takes five missions? Do you know how long five missions take?"
"Ah... you know?"
Danzo stood up and scolded Sarutobi's fluctuating forehead.
He didn't buy Sarutobi's explanation of the fluctuations at all. In his opinion, the Third Hokage, as the inheritor of the Second Hokage's will, should have a firm grasp of the information of all the strong people in the Uchiha clan.
Instead of collecting by assigning tasks when needed.
This will take a lot of time.
And he knew Hiruzen; he wasn't the type to cram at the last minute.
The information about the brothers Uchiha Luffy and Uchiha Ace is definitely not incomplete as that kid Sarutobi Bodo said.
At least it won't take five missions to collect them.
Facing Danzo's attack and distrust, Sarutobi felt bitter and said with a wry smile, "Danzo-sama, it's not that easy to kill a powerful Uchiha with the Three Magatama Sharingan."
"Without detailed intelligence, it is easy for accidents to happen if we want to kill the three-magatama Sharingan masters of the Uchiha clan in a short period of time."
"If something unexpected happens..."
Sarutobi looked at Danzo with a wavered expression. He didn't finish his words, but his meaning was clear.
Once an accident occurs, no matter how much they conceal their identities when taking action, the Uchiha clan will become vigilant.
And it didn't take long to figure out that they were the ones behind it.
After all, they are the Uchiha clan that once dominated the ninja world for hundreds of years together with the Senju clan during the Warring States Period. No one can underestimate their wisdom.
Therefore, every time we attack and kill Uchiha clan ninjas, we must ensure that there is no risk of failure.
