"Where did we find nothing?"
Shimura Danzo squinted at Hozuki Mangetsu and questioned, "Didn't we already discover that Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Itachi, and Hoshigaki Kisame have joined the Akatsuki Organization?"
"Where exactly is the Akatsuki Organization?"
"The entire Land of Rain knows the Akatsuki Organization has been destroyed!"
"The Akatsuki Organization is not destroyed!"
"Years ago, I joined Salamander Hanzo in besieging the Akatsuki Organization. The organization wasn't eradicated at that time and has since taken root and grown. Salamander Hanzo is just deceiving himself..."
Shimura Danzo gripped his cane, fully confident in his judgment; the evidence he discovered proved the Akatsuki Organization wasn't eradicated.
Shimura Danzo also learned of Orochimaru's whereabouts and discovered that Orochimaru had once joined the Akatsuki Organization. He took the initiative to send people to the Land of Rice Fields to contact Orochimaru.
"We just want to know when we can find the Akatsuki Organization."
Hozuki Mangetsu bared a sharp tooth and softly pursued, "Lord Danzo, we've been out for over two months now, and many people's moods are restless. The Hidden Mist Village ninjas are bloodthirsty; they need a battle very badly..."
"I'll figure it out soon!"
Shimura Danzo struck his cane against the ground.
If this were Konoha, none of his subordinates would dare question his orders, not even Akihara Kagura, yet this brat named Hozuki Mangetsu seems to have a death wish!
"I'm leaving now."
Hozuki Mangetsu picked an apple from Danzo's desk, turned, and left the tent, leaving only a parting remark: "I hope Lord Danzo can give us a response soon..."
"Don't worry."
Shimura Danzo coldly watched him leave, holding thoughts of his own.
Once Orochimaru delivers specific information on the Akatsuki Organization, Shimura Danzo plans to let the Hidden Mist ninjas and the Akatsuki Organization wear each other down, secretly eliminating Hozuki Mangetsu in the process.
"Any messages from the village?"
Shimura Danzo inquired of his two personal guards.
"No new orders..."
Yamanaka Fuu cautiously replied.
Aburame Torune assisted by saying, "Perhaps it's because we've ventured deep into the Land of Rain alone, so the village isn't aware of our whereabouts. Should we send someone back to the village to check..."
"You go arrange for someone to do that."
Shimura Danzo waved them off.
"Yes."
Aburame Torune nodded.
As the two of them left the tent, they saw a group of individuals in standard Root gear and masks approaching. Each had a pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes!
"These are... Sharingan..."
"Take us to see Lord Danzo."
The leader of the group coldly glanced at Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fuu, seemingly aware they were people of Akihara Kagura, and said in a low voice, "This is also an order from Lord Kagura."
"Understood..."
Aburame Torune nodded.
Inside Shimura Danzo's tent.
"You all... what's going on here?"
This elder Shimura Danzo jumped in shock at the sight of these Sharingan ninjas, immediately questioning who they were because the backs of these Sharingan ninjas were covered in wooden spikes, clearly hiding a big secret.
These guys...
are Double Bloodline ninjas with Wood Release and Sharingan!
When did such ninjas appear in the village?
No time for Shimura Danzo to question, these Sharingan ninjas, with a rather arrogant attitude, took the initiative to speak, seemingly reincarnating the Uchiha clan: "Shimura Danzo, we are a secret ninja unit directly under the Hokage, here specially to notify you."
"By order of the Third Hokage, Shimura Danzo is accused of secretly using the cells of the First Hokage and Sharingan from the Uchiha Clan to illegally cultivate Double Bloodline ninjas."
"This matter has been exposed; to prevent village unrest, Shimura Danzo must take responsibility for these illegal experiments and immediately return to the village to accept punishment."
"What?"
Shimura Danzo looked at these masked red-eyed individuals in shock, his brow furrowed instinctively, "What exactly are you talking about? I... I don't quite understand, what exactly is going on?"
What a joke!
What's the situation!
He knows nothing about this, yet he's being forced to return and accept punishment!
Shimura Danzo stared at these Sharingan ninjas with wooden spikes on their backs, his heart chilled sharply. Could it be that these Double Bloodline individuals are secret experiments created by Sarutobi Hiruzen?
That monkey bastard...
wants him to return to Konoha to take the fall?
