Forget it.
This matter isn't urgent.
Now that Uchiha Sasuke is in my pocket, I should first use this kid to slowly fulfill my plan, and the future can come slowly...
The only headache is...
This Uchiha Sasuke's personality is still so arrogant...
Only in front of me does he seem slightly more obedient.
If the Root ninjas act a little recklessly in front of Uchiha Sasuke, this kid might recklessly kill, I must come up with a good solution...
It seems...
In the future, I must let this kid become my personal guard!
Shimura Danzo is also very confident in Uchiha Sasuke's power, having a Mangekyo Sharingan user loyal to him means absolute safety!
Unfortunately...
Everything still has to wait until the Chunin exams end.
Luckily...
This time won't be too long...
Shimura Danzo looked in the direction of Konoha Village, watching the sun slowly set, his eyes squinting slightly, after the sunset comes a new sunrise...
No need to rush...
I've been patient for a long time.
A new era is about to arrive.
"..."
Uchiha Sasuke glanced at Shimura Danzo standing in front of him and casually stuffed his hands into his pockets, feeling not rushed at all.
Everything...
Finally is on the right track!
As long as the Chunin exams end, and I find a suitable competitor in Root, I can immediately start my plan. I must quickly find a rival for the future leadership of Root, and begin overtly taking over Danzo's Root!
Only Root...
Can allow me to operate within the shadows!
Because any future problems can always be blamed on Shimura Danzo!
Opportunities come quickly.
Uchiha Sasuke soon found a suitable person.
Due to Uchiha Sasuke's reckless killing behavior, Shimura Danzo could only carefully select a suitable contact in Root, choosing a peer of Uchiha Sasuke, a young ninja named Sai, to connect with Sasuke during this period.
"..."
Uchiha Sasuke was a little surprised when he saw Sai.
Because in reality, he had met Sai before, but Sai behaved quite hypocritically at school, claiming he also liked Akihara Kagura and hoped to join Akihara Kagura's Root in the future...
If he hadn't seen Sai, Uchiha Sasuke might have even forgotten that this guy was also once his rival. Unfortunately, Akihara Kagura didn't care much for Sai, not even inviting him to join Root, but let him enjoy a peaceful life in Konoha instead.
"Sasuke-kun..."
Sai showed a modest fake smile as he greeted Uchiha Sasuke: "Lord Danzo has asked me to be responsible for liaising with you during this period."
"Hmm?"
Uchiha Sasuke held his sword's scabbard and lifted Sai's chin: "Seems like you're of the same age as me. I heard Lord Danzo is getting old, were you chosen by Lord Danzo as his successor?"
"..."
Sai's face showed a slight confusion.
What... does this mean?
Am I supposed to be Danzo's successor?
"Doesn't matter."
"From today, you are not."
Uchiha Sasuke looked at Sai with contempt, his killing intent froze Sai in place, immobilized. Sasuke stepped closer, patting his shoulder: "From now on, I will be the one to inherit Lord Danzo's will, don't fight me for what I want..."
"Of course... I wouldn't dare."
Sai's face showed a hint of unease.
This peer Genin...
Why is his killing intent so intense?
Moreover...
Did I even want to fight for anything?
How could I dare to fight Uchiha Sasuke for anything!
Although Sai was curious why Shimura Danzo would choose him as a successor, Uchiha Sasuke, this killer god, was clearly obsessed with the successor's role!
Root ninjas were very wary of Uchiha Sasuke, thinking he was just like his brother, Uchiha Itachi—a killing god!
No, even his killing intent is heavier than Uchiha Itachi's. At least Uchiha Itachi wouldn't kill randomly over a single word!
"That's for the best then..."
Uchiha Sasuke said leisurely, pressing on Sai's shoulder: "I hope we can work well together. In the future, once I inherit Lord Danzo's will, I will allow you to stand by my side and become my strongest support..."
"Yes..."
Sai could only slowly lower his head.
This mission...
Seems even more difficult than I imagined.
Sai thought that all he had to do was carefully execute the task of conveying orders, but he soon realized that even this was beyond his capability...
Because...
Uchiha Sasuke doesn't trust him.
Uchiha Sasuke believes all orders conveyed by Sai were false!
Uchiha Sasuke asked Sai to convey information that he had found Orochimaru's trace, requesting Shimura Danzo send someone to assist him to kill Orochimaru.
Evidently.
This request shocked Shimura Danzo.
If his subordinates fought with his ally, it would be like losing an arm, as Orochimaru was there to help him kill Sarutobi Hiruzen, he could only order Sai to convey that Uchiha Sasuke need not bother with Orochimaru's issue.
However...
This from Uchiha Sasuke is false!
"No..."
"This truly is what Lord Danzo said..."
