Chapter 586 I am Madara Uchiha
Promoted from ANBU captain to captain, for Mu Yue, who has no subordinates, the only real feeling is that his office in ANBU has become bigger.
Mu Yue now has a large office similar to Sarutobi Masashige.
"Yamanaka Yoshiaki, Aoyama Hiromi..." Mu Yue flipped through the sensory ninja information given by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Possibly because the Yamanaka clan has been practicing special secret techniques for a long time, Mu Yue discovered that many ninjas from the Yamanaka clan have perceptual talents.
Mu Yue recalled the corresponding name panel and ticked the names of the ninjas who he thought might learn how to see and hear **** ninjas.
When Mu Yue flipped through the information, she skipped all the sentient ninjas with the surname Hinata.
Due to the existence of the Byakugan blood inheritance limit, strictly speaking, all Hyuga clan can be sentient ninjas.
There is nothing wrong with Obito and Shisui who have the Sharingan to learn to see the color, because the color can not only be used as a sensory ninjutsu but also detect attacks outside the visual field.
There is no need for Byakugan. Byakugan itself has excellent perception of ninjutsu and also has a 360-degree viewing angle.
In most situations where abilities overlap, unless the ability to see, hear, and color is cultivated to a certain level, it is not necessary for a ninja with a Byakugan to see, hear, and read color.
After selecting twenty people, Mu Yue asked the ANBU to send the list to Sarutobi Hiruzen for approval.
Many of the ninjas he chose worked in different departments such as the perception class and analysis class. It was impossible for Mu Yue to stop going to work and practice with Mu Yue just by saying a word to him. He had to follow the procedures.
And there are so many people, it would be troublesome for Mu Yue to notify them one by one by herself. After all, she is also the captain of the dark force.
However, Mu Yue estimated that the final number might be more than the twenty on his list.
First, there are ANBU members on the list, but there are no root members. Shimura Danzo must also want his subordinates to have knowledge of the situation, and at least there will be two or three of them.
Then if other senior officials or big families learn the news, they will most likely use their connections to get people in to learn.
After all, the ability to sense malice is really useful.
Things developed as Mu Yue expected.
That night, Mu Yue received a letter from Danzo Shimura, asking him to go to the root base.
“Mu Yue, why are there not even one of our basic ninjas on the training list?” Shimura Danzo looked at Mu Yue with a gloomy expression.
He didn't specifically mention this matter to Mu Yue last time, because he felt that Mu Yue didn't need to be reminded and would definitely handle the matter.
Seeing the final result, Shimura Danzo felt betrayed.
Because Mu Yue's current situation is very special and she often spends more time in the Hokage's office than at the root base. Shimura Danzo is very worried that Mu Yue's mind will be corrupted by the benefits given by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
But Danzo Shimura has nothing to do, because what Hiruzen Sarutobi can give to Muyue is better and more than him.
Mu Yue showed a blank expression, "Our root ninjas are not on the list given to me by the Sandaime at all."
He guessed that part of Shimura Danzo's secret operations might have been discovered, or perhaps Shimura Danzo had been too jumpy in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen recently, otherwise Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't have deliberately beaten Shimura Danzo like this when he had nothing to do.
"What! Hiruzen, he actually..."
Shimura Danzo realized that he had mistakenly blamed his general, and the expression on his face instantly improved a lot.
Of course, the anger in Shimura Danzo's heart has not really disappeared, and has even increased, but the target is not nearby and cannot be released.
In other words, it was off-duty time now, otherwise Danzo Shimura would have wanted to rush to the Hokage's office and ask Hiruzen Sarutobi for clarification.
“Mu Yue, these are the cultivation resources for half a year.” Danzo Shimura abruptly changed the subject and handed a scroll to Mu Yue.
Even though he wrongly blamed Mu Yue, Danzo Shimura could not apologize to his subordinates.
Because he felt that this would undermine his dignity and affect the obedience of his subordinates to him.
If someone thinks that Shimura Danzo is a talkative person, it will be a mess.
Mu Yue said a few casual words and left.
He thinks Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi are doing well now.
Let Sarutobi Hiruzen consume Shimura Danzo's energy, so that Shimura Danzo's energy will not suddenly come up with some shockingly clever plans.
“It’s getting harder and harder for me to restrict him, so I have to find a way.” After Muyue left, Shimura Danzo sat alone in Nebe’s office and frowned.
It turns out that Mu Yue did not betray him, but Hiruzen Sarutobi was the one who got in the way.
But now Mu Yue does not have a curse mark on her body, and has not been at the root for a long time. This makes Shimura Danzo very insecure.
With Mu Yue's current strength, even if Mu Yue betrays him and goes to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo Shimura has nothing to do with Mu Yue except to look for opportunities to disgust Mu Yue a few times.
“Should I let him participate in my cooperation with Orochimaru?” Danzo Shimura thought of a good idea.
The close cooperation between him and Orochimaru is not because they have a good relationship, but because both parties know too many shady things about the other.
If all the things that happened between the two of them were discovered by Sarutobi Hiruzen, the best result would be life imprisonment.
If Mu Yue also participates, then Mu Yue will be a grasshopper on the same rope as them, and everyone will be prosperous and disadvantaged.
“He wants to develop wood escape, and Hashirama cells are our most important experiment.” The more Danzo Shimura thought about it, the more feasible it became.
The only drawback to this plan is that Mu Yue may gradually shed his identity as a subordinate and become an equal collaborator like Orochimaru.
This is where Danzo Shimura hesitates.
Even if Mu Yue has been away from the root for a long time, even with Mu Yue's current identity and strength, he has no chance to issue tasks to Mu Yue.
But that was a Sannin-level subordinate after all. If Shimura Danzo ignored all the consequences, he could use Mu Yue to do many things.
“You seem to be troubled. Are you having trouble?”
Just when Shimura Danzo was deep in thought, a voice that was unfamiliar to Shimura Danzo but a little familiar sounded in the office.
He quickly grabbed the kunai on his desk and looked forward. A man wearing a robe with a Uzumaki mask on his face appeared in the office at some point.
Shimura Danzo's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with huge waves.
"How did this guy do it? He sneaked into the root base quietly and even into my office!"
You must know that the security level of his office is no less than that of the Hokage's office. The other party can invade here without being discovered, which means that he can invade any place in Konoha.
"Who are you? You dare to invade my secret place of Konoha." Danzo Shimura secretly gathered his chakra and asked with a gloomy expression.
Since the masked man did not attack, Danzo Shimura did not use ninjutsu for the time being.
His office contains a lot of confidential documents, and it would be a troublesome thing if they were destroyed.
The most important thing is that Danzo Shimura doesn't want to cause a big fuss and attract Hiruzen Sarutobi. His most shameful things are not here, but there are still some things that cannot be discovered by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
“Haha, there is no place in this world that I, Uchiha Madara, cannot go to.” The masked man said with a strange smile.
When Shimura Danzo heard the masked man's words, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he was even more surprised.
He finally knew why he felt that the other person's voice was a little familiar, because it was Uchiha Madara's voice!
Shimura Danzo was born before Konoha was established, so he met Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.
“Uchiha Madara, he should have been killed by the first generation. Why...”
“No, it’s just a sound, it should be disguised.”
Shimura Danzo has also been the Hokage's assistant for many years. He has seen strong winds and waves and quickly forced himself to calm down.
He did not believe that the other party was Uchiha Madara, and thought that the other party was a pretender with ulterior motives. After all, there were many weird and weird techniques in the ninja world, and it was not too outrageous to disguise a voice.
If Madara Uchiha was alive, why didn't he attack Konoha while Senju Hashirama was dead?
Even if Uchiha Madara is still alive, it has been so long, and Uchiha Madara should be just an old man in his dying years now, and he should not be able to invade his roots easily.
"Uchiha Madara, you are not a Konoha ninja now. What is your purpose in coming to Konoha?" Danzo Shimura did not reveal the identity of the other party, but continued.
It's just a name. Shimura Danzo didn't want to argue with the other party. He wanted the words of the masked person. "You really want the inheritance of Ninja Sect and the Samsara Eye." The masked man looked at Shimura Danzo with a smile.
Shimura Danzo was shocked. He didn't expect that this "Madara Uchiha" actually knew about Genbu's actions in the Land of Rain.
“Does the root have his spies, or does he have stronger intelligence power than the root in the Land of Rain?” Shimura Danzo thought in his mind.
It is a very serious matter for a spy to appear in a secretive department like the Roots.
“That’s what I want too. Cooperate with me, the reincarnation eye will be mine, and we will share the Ninja sect inheritance.” The masked man continued.
Shimura Danzo immediately wanted to refuse. He could only work for others as long as others gave him a part-time job.
But Shimura Danzo held back, because there was something in the masked man's words that interested him.
"What is the inheritance of Ninja sect? What is the sharing method?" Shimura Danzo asked, suppressing his inner emotions.
He has been working hard to investigate the Ninja sect's inheritance, but he still hasn't found out the reason.
“The Ninja sect inheritance is now Soyousuke, or the Ninja sect knowledge in his mind.
A person suddenly appears, who is proficient in the changes in the properties of the seven attributes of chakra at a young age, and has various ninjutsu at his fingertips. Do you think he can practice normally? "The masked man looked at Shimura Danzo with a smile.
Shimura Danzo shook his head. Of course he didn't think that Soyousuke practiced it himself.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is not as good as Soyousuke in age, but leaving aside the recent rise of Mu Yue, Sarutobi Hiruzen is already the second genius in Konoha, making their teacher Senju Tobirama... A super genius who feels inferior to himself.
Furthermore, Soyousuke was completely blank before the appearance of the Land of Rain, and did not belong to any large ninja force.
You must know that advanced ninja knowledge is something that is monopolized. Is it possible that Soyousuke learned that ninja knowledge on his own? Danzo Shimura really suspected that the other party was the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths.
“The secret of Soyousuke’s power lies in his memory. As long as I can kill him, I have the means to completely extract all his memories regardless of any protective measures.” The masked man said with an enigmatic look.
“No, with your methods, if you do something behind the scenes, I won’t get anything in the end.
Cooperation is possible, but the condition is that you give me the Rinnegan Eye. When I confirm that the Ninja inheritance you share is okay, I will give you the Rinnegan Eye. Danzo Shimura thought for a while and said.
Don't say that the other party is a fake Uchiha Madara, even if the other party is the real Uchiha Madara, if he can get the Samsara Eye and Ninja inheritance, Danzo Shimura will cooperate with him.
The inheritance of Ninja Sect is the secret that can create the top powerhouse. The Samsara Eye is the eye of the legendary founder of the immortal. Either one can greatly enhance the strength of Shimura Danzo.
Shimura Danzo saw hope of surpassing Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Since childhood, he has always lost to Hiruzen Sarutobi in terms of strength and status, and he will not give up any hope of surpassing the other.
"I want all the Samsara Eyes. As compensation, I can let you have the Wood Release."
Speaking, the masked man concentrated his chakra, and a small tree grew rapidly in Danzo Shimura's office.
“Wood Release!” Danzo Shimura could no longer manage his expression properly and looked at the masked man in shock.
Although the Ninja sect inheritance and the Samsara Eye are also very good, for him currently they are just tangible and intangible cakes that he can see but not eat.
Now the masked man actually used Wood Escape in front of him.
"Who is he? Why is there Wood Release? Is it also an experiment of Hashirama's cells, and it was successful?" Shimura Danzo thought rapidly in his mind.
Although Shimura Danzo also has a Wooden ninja in his hands, his ability and his own control are two different things.
And if the masked man really cracked Hashirama's cells completely, wouldn't it mean that the other party has the ability to mass-produce wood escape ninjas? Danzo Shimura felt horrified just thinking about it, and rows of huge wooden men appeared on the battlefield.
At this time, Shimura Danzo suddenly felt that the other party might really be Uchiha Madara, the one who had found a way to extend his life.
Because if the masked person is Uchiha Madara, then everything the other person shows makes sense.
The powerful ability to ignore Konoha's big barrier and easily invade the roots, and the super power that may be hidden behind it.
"Yes, but I have a request. Before you help me master Wood Release, if we get the Samsara Eye, I must hold one. After I have Wood Release, I will return the Samsara Eye to you." Danzo Shimura thought and replied.
Shimura Danzo doesn’t want to give up the Rinnegan Eye, but compared to the Rinnegan Eye whose improvement effect is unknown, the powerful Wood Release is definitely more practical.
Of course, the main reason is that Danzo Shimura was passive in this transaction.
He didn't know the true identity of the masked man or what power the masked man had, but the masked man was able to sneak into his office quietly.
If given the chance, Danzo Shimura will still find a way to achieve the ending he wants.
After all, this is the legendary eye of the immortal. Just by looking at the masked man's persistence in the eye of samsara, you can know that it is not easy to find the eye of samsara.
If the reincarnation eye wasn't strong enough, could the masked man be kind enough to compensate him with the wood escape?
"How do we cooperate?" Danzo Shimura asked, suppressing all the messy thoughts in his mind.
The most important thing now is to cooperate to win down Soyousuke and Nagato, otherwise everything will be empty talk.
"What you have to do now is to strengthen your power in the Land of Rain as much as possible, and if necessary, borrow the power of Konoha to attack the Ninja Sect. When it is time for you to do something, you will receive the message." The masked man replied .
Shimura Danzo frowned, so that he would not become a subordinate of the masked man.
Danzo Shimura suppressed his rising emotions when he thought about the rewards he could get from it. As long as he could get the Wood Release, the Rinnegan Eye and the Ninja Sect inheritance, everything would be worth it.
“One last question.” The masked man asked curiously before leaving.
“I may not answer.” Danzo Shimura said calmly. He did not really regard himself as a subordinate of the masked man.
“What does it feel like to have a bowel movement?”
Danzo Shimura's eyelids twitched fiercely. He felt that the masked man deliberately said such words to insult him, and kept his face dark and said nothing.
He was prepared for the masked man to ask for Konoha's confidential information, but this is the result?
Seeing that Danzo Shimura did not answer, the masked man showed a regretful expression, pushed the door open and walked out, and then quietly sank into the ground.
"Are you doing this deliberately to interfere with my judgment? Who is it..." Feeling that the other party's aura disappeared inexplicably, Shimura Danzo's expression turned dark.
Even if he is a partner, Danzo Shimura is extremely afraid that the masked man can come and go at the base without his consent.
If it can appear at the root base at will, it can appear at his home.
If the other party sneaks in while he is sleeping, wouldn't he be in danger?
Shimura Danzo frowned, completely unable to guess the identity of the masked man.
"However, even if you are really Uchiha Madara, then you are just a weak and old Uchiha Madara, not the Uchiha Madara who could hurt the first generation." Shimura Danzo thought about this clearly and his brows relaxed. .
If it was Uchiha Madara and he had full strength, there would be no need to cooperate with him at all, just go to the Ninja Sect and kill Nagato and Soyousuke together.
Since the masked man wants to cooperate with him, it proves that the other party cannot defeat the ninja sect alone and needs his strength. Otherwise, the masked man can enjoy the reincarnation eye and the ninja sect inheritance by himself.
“Do you want Orochimaru to help?” Danzo Shimura thought of his partner.
Then he shook his head. One more person meant more benefits, and he didn't want to have one more opponent competing for reincarnation.
If Orochimaru is also promised a wood escape, it will be even more detrimental to him.
Now he has a cooperative relationship with Orochimaru because he is not strong enough or powerful enough.
If he is strong enough, Orochimaru can be abandoned.
The next day, in the morning.
Shimura Danzo went straight to the Hokage's office in the Hokage Building after handling the root affairs.
The Ninja sect inheritance, the Samsara Eye, and the Wood Release are all tempting, but Danzo Shimura cannot give up the benefits within reach of his subordinates who have the power to master the power of knowledge.
The wooden door was pushed open violently, and then the ANBU outside the door vaguely heard a heated discussion.
After waiting for the sound of the discussion to disappear, ending with a huge slam of the door, Danzo Shimura walked out of the Hokage's office.
