Chapter 224 The emergence of kaleidoscope! The pharmacist sneaks into Kirigakure!

Miscalculation!

Danzo Shimura stayed in the dark root base and hit the ground angrily to express his dissatisfaction at this time.

He never expected that after he laid such a meticulous plan, he might end up making a wedding dress for the Uchiha he hated the most!

One day has passed since the bizarre funeral of Hatake Sakumo. Because of Sarutobi Hiruzen's last words, during this day, Shimura Danzo was thinking hard in the root base, trying to find someone who could take advantage of him. The reason for being recognized by everyone.

But how difficult is this?

This killing plan against Sarutobi Hiruzen can be said to have been arranged by Ghost Light Crescent Moon six years ago. He hastily tried to come up with a justified reason that is recognized by everyone, unless he really puts all this into practice. Explain everything you did.

However, due to the identity of Ghost Light Crescent Moon and Kirigakure Village, even dirty water cannot be poured out on Ghost Light Crescent Moon - after all, Kirigakure Village can secretly control and intimidate the hero's wife. Magical, anyone with any brain would probably not believe it.

Even if he said it, the only one who would be laughed at would be Konoha itself.

"Damn it! Hiruzen, I didn't expect you to come to me so suddenly..."

Shimura Danzo looked at the "investigation report" compiled by some of his subordinates on the table and sighed helplessly.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi had not said those words, or had not made a decisive decision on that occasion, in full view of the public, he would have used his final authority as the Third Hokage to choose the candidate for Hokage between him and Fugaku Uchiha. words.

Danzo Shimura was 90% sure that he could lead the subsequent investigation and give a result at will. While trampling Sarutobi Hiruzen severely under his feet, he put on the robe of the fourth generation Hokage.

But now the result is different. After the death of Hatake Sakumo, there were only a few people who were qualified to become the Fourth Hokage.

After what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, it can be said that the current Hokage candidates are basically limited to him and Uchiha Fugaku, and the judging method is who can come up with a survey result that can satisfy the public first. .

Under such circumstances, he naturally could not simply pour dirty water on Sarutobi Hiruzen's head - it is very simple, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who voluntarily gave up his identity as Hokage, has now stayed out of the matter, and has changed from a player in the game to a Outsider, player turned referee.

This satisfied everyone, including Hiruzen Sarutobi. If Hiruzen Sarutobi were to attack Hiruzen Sarutobi now, Hiruzen Sarutobi would definitely use all methods to help Fugaku Uchiha and let this basin of dirty water pour on him. body.

So after Sarutobi Hiruzen stood at Hatake Sakumo's funeral and said those words, this incident could only have three outcomes.

The murderer behind the scenes is either Shimura Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen, or the Uchiha clan. There is no other choice.

Under the premise that Sarutobi Hiruzen has given up the position of Hokage at this time, there are actually only two results, either Danzo Shimura or the Uchiha clan.

And this means that Shimura Danzo must fight to the death with the Uchiha clan.

After all, Shimura Danzo has longed for the position of Hokage for many years, so why not the Uchiha clan?

Even if we count from Uchiha Madara's era, the Uchiha clan has been pursuing the position of Hokage for only a lot longer than him!

"Hiruzen, Hiruzen, the teacher really didn't misjudge you back then!"

After thinking about this situation carefully, Shimura Danzo couldn't help but admire Sarutobi Hiruzen's quick wit.

If it had been someone else, he would have fallen under the control of Shimura Danzo. But now it's better. Although Sarutobi Hiruzen has lost his position as Hokage, he jumped out and watched Shimura Danzo and the Uchiha clan fight to the death. It was really unpleasant.

And not only that, after the funeral, Hiruzen Sarutobi even wanted to use the art of reincarnation on Hatake Nao's corpse, trying to recall Hatake Nao's soul from the Pure Land of Paradise and question its truth.

However, after all, the current technique of reincarnation of the dirty earth is an unfinished version, and there are a lot of missing memories in the summoned dirty earth body. Nao Hatake's dirty earth body did not reveal any useful information - all of this is naturally part of Shimura Danzo's plan. middle.

Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally did not expect that his dear apprentice would have betrayed him and sided with Shimura Danzo.

After all, it was Orochimaru who performed the art of filthy earth reincarnation. Not to mention that the art of filthy earth reincarnation was not perfect. Even if it was perfected, what could he say and what could he say with his filthy earth body? It was all in his mind, right?

After all, on one side is the master who is in charge, and on the other side is Shimura Danzo, who provides a large number of experimental materials. This choice is simply not a good choice for Orochimaru, who yearns for immortality.

"Well, in that case, we can only turn the muzzle of the gun and aim at Uchiha..."

It is said that the investigation results satisfy everyone, but unless conclusive evidence can be produced, the essence of this matter is to come up with an exchange method that is in line with the interests of all parties.

After all, you said that what you have is the real investigation result. Where is the evidence?

Even if there is evidence, does the evidence have to be true?

Is this true or false, or is it in the hands of the major ninja clans who act as referees?

As for the influence of the major ninja clans, Danzo Shimura believes that he has a deeper influence than the Uchiha clan, so what is left is to see how to negotiate with the major ninja clans...

At this thought, Shimura Danzo stood up and was about to walk out.

"Lord Danzo, 'Itachi' sent someone to ask for an audience."

At this moment, a root ninja knocked on the door, and a deep voice spread throughout the underground office.

"Itachi?"

Shimura Danzo was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that this was the code name of Ghost Light Crescent Moon.

Shimura Danzo knew that Ghost Light Crescent Moon would not send someone over for no reason, and coupled with the alliance relationship between the two parties at this time, he still had the messenger come over after thinking for a while.

A moment later, a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman, dressed in cloth without any ninja accessories, walked into the basement office.

"Why did that boy ask you to come here?"

As soon as the two sides met, Danzo Shimura asked straight to the point. At this time, he was in no mood to beat around the bush with an envoy.

"After all, it is a plan involving both parties. Your Excellency has been paying close attention to the progress of the plan. You are already aware of everything that happened yesterday, and you are also aware of Danzo-sama's predicament at this time, so you specially ordered me to come to help. .”

The envoy was not intimidated by Shimura Danzo's momentum and talked eloquently.

"Oh? You can send back messages between the two places in one day. Your master's news is really well-informed!"

"It seems it's time for me to clean up the rats in the village."

Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes and said with a gloomy expression.

Naturally, he would not be surprised by the presence of spies from Kirigakure Village in Konoha. The reason why he said this was just to take the initiative in the subsequent negotiations.

After all, with Gui Deng Xinyue's temperament, if he dared to send someone over after knowing the news, there would naturally be a solution.

At this time, Danzo Shimura was in a dilemma. He was afraid that the opponent's lion would open his mouth, so he naturally wanted to do everything possible to take the initiative first.

"Haha, sir, you are joking...but speaking of rats, we seem to have a big rat over there, and it is constantly carrying food to our house!"

Talents who have been carefully trained by Ghost Light Crescent will naturally not be frightened by this level of intimidation. After calmly hitting back with Tsunade, they directly stated the purpose of their trip.

"After my family learned about Danzo-sama's situation, he ordered me to dedicate this painting to Danzo-sama, saying that this painting is enough to solve Danzo-sama's current predicament."

As the messenger spoke, he took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Shimura Danzo.

Shimura Danzo slowly unfolded the painting of the ghost lamp crescent moon with a curious attitude.

There were no strange words on this smooth scroll, only a lifelike eye painted in the center of the scroll.

Judging from the shape, this is a normal human eye.

The only difference from normal eyes is that a snowflake-like hexagonal pattern is clearly carved in the pupils of this eye. Under the artist's superb painting skills, this eye seemed to be emitting an inexplicable brilliance, staring intently at Danzo Shimura in front of him.

"Eye?"

Shimura Danzo didn't notice anything unusual for a while, but he knew that Ghost Light Xinyue would not target him without aim. Since he said this could solve his problem, it would definitely help him.

So after thinking over and over again, he finally caught a hint of inspiration from the snowflake-like hexagonal pattern of the pupils.

Then, his expression suddenly changed.

"This is... the Mangekyo Sharingan!"

Danzo Shimura remembered the records about the Mangekyō Sharingan of the Uchiha clan in his teacher's secret experiments, and couldn't help but observe this eye again based on this information.

"It's really the Mangekyo Sharingan!"

After careful observation, Danzo Shimura confirmed that the eyes in the painting before him were the "ultimate power" of the Uchiha clan, the Mangekyo Sharingan!

Except in the teacher's notes, this was the first time he saw information about the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"However, since that guy from Gui Deng Xinyue sent me this painting and said it could solve my current predicament, does that mean he knows where the eyes are, or does he have these eyes in his hand?"

Danzo Shimura suddenly thought of this, and immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly calmed down the excitement in his heart, and looked up at the messenger.

Seeing Shimura Danzo like this, how could the envoy not know that Shimura Danzo had seen the details of these eyes?

Although he was shocked when he first learned about it, now that he saw the look Shimura Danzo looked like just now, he still couldn't help but feel a hint of contempt in his heart.

What kind of Konoha's "Darkness of Shinobi" can't even resist the temptation of a mere kaleidoscope, and how dare he be as famous as Lord Crescent Moon?

With this mentality, the messenger couldn't help but have a hint of arrogance in his tone, "Sir Danzo must have seen the details of these eyes... Yes, these eyes are in the hands of my lord at this time."

When Danzo Shimura heard this, he finally let go of the worry in his heart.

Since Gui Deng Xinyue behaves like this, he naturally wants to trade.

As long as he got the Mangekyo Sharingan, he could naturally submit an investigation report on the grounds that the owner of the Mangekyo Sharingan confused Hatake Nao.

What's more, getting this Mangekyo Sharingan will naturally greatly increase his prestige in Konoha. At that time, even if various companies covet this kaleidoscope and want to conduct research, they can only participate in the research under his leadership.

Therefore, Danzo Shimura is determined to win this kaleidoscope!

He thought this while looking at the messenger in front of him without revealing any trace, as if he was wondering where the kaleidoscope was hidden by the messenger.

If he carries this kaleidoscope with him, why trade it?

"Danzo-sama, you don't have to look at me like that. How can I carry something like this with me?"

The messenger looked at Shimura Danzo's eyes and knew what he was planning, and immediately looked at him with half-smiling eyes.

With Shimura Danzo's character, he naturally would not feel embarrassed about this. Seeing that his inner plan was exposed, he immediately asked without changing his expression:

"Tell me, what does he want?"

"The Sealed Book."

The messenger smiled slightly and uttered a sentence.

"impossible!"

Shimura Danzo flatly refused, not to mention that he was not qualified to get close to the sealed book now. Even if he was, he would not take this as a deal.

After all, any ninjutsu in the Book of Sealings can create a powerful Jōnin, especially ninjutsu such as the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Spiritualization Technique, the Reincarnation Technique of the Dirty Earth, and the Mutual Multiplication Explosion Technique. These Ninjutsu are enemies of the enemy. If they learn it, it will be a disaster for them.

Even if he is just a bastard, he still has to think about how he will target Kirigakure after he comes to power!

The envoy was not surprised by Danzo Shimura's rejection. After all, the negotiation was about asking for a high price and paying the money back on the spot. Only after this condition was refuted could he put forward the real condition.

"If that's the case...then use the art of spiritual transformation + one person!"

Danzo Shimura was relieved to hear this condition. Compared with the Book of Sealing, a spiritual transformation technique is nothing.

After all, although the art of spiritual transformation can cause one's soul to leave the body, when using this ninjutsu, one is in a defenseless state. Although one can send people to protect him, a true master will definitely not leave himself undefended.

Gui Deng Xinyue's purpose in asking for this spiritual transformation technique is also simple, that is, to enhance his control over the soul or spiritual power.

As his next goal to improve his strength, he has been unable to succeed in normalizing the immortal mode.

He thought about it carefully, and besides secretly asking Orochimaru to study the full version of the Jutsu Reincarnation Technique, he summoned the full version of the Thunder Escape Chakra Mode of the Second Generation Thunder Society to greatly strengthen his cell activity and increase the recovery speed of Chakra. In addition, we must also start from the spiritual aspect.

After all, the focus of the sage mode lies in one's own "perfect as a sage" state of mind, and in the harmony between one's own chakra and the natural chakra.

Although it is possible to link to the Vulpix through golden fingers and rely on the spiritual power of the Vulpix, Ghost Light Xinyue still wants to increase his control over the spirit if possible.

After trying all conventional methods, his eyes naturally turned to this spiritual transformation technique.

Shimura Danzo naturally didn't understand this. Compared with this spiritual transformation technique, he was more curious about the people named by Ghost Light Crescent Moon.

"Who is worthy of that brat being so interested in?"

When the messenger saw his answer, he knew that the matter was done, so he replied happily:

"That's your 'Walking Miko', Medicine Master Noono U."

"Yakushi Nonou?"

Danzo Shimura was stunned. He even thought of Orochimaru, but not the pharmacist Nonou.

However, if it is Medicine Master Nonoyu, does that mean that Ghost Light Xinyue values ​​her intelligence gathering ability...

Danzo Shimura pondered like this and did not reply for a while.

"Since my lord has asked for this medicine master Nonou, he naturally wants to use it, so I hope that Danzo-sama will not make any small moves when the time comes."

Then the messenger seemed to have thought of something and said casually:

"By the way, I heard that the pharmacist Nonoyu likes children very much and even opened an orphanage in your village... So in order to get the pharmacist Nonoyu to work as soon as possible, it is also to avoid any unpleasant things between us. , I hope that Lord Danzo will hand over all the orphans in this orphanage to us..."

"Orphanage?"

Shimura Danzo thought about it carefully and found that he had no impression of the orphanage. After hesitating for a while, he agreed to the deal.

Although I was a little bit sad to lose this useful tool, Yakushi Nonou, but compared with the kaleidoscope, it was all worth it.
