"Oh?"
"It seems those guys are about to take the bait. This is a big fish..."
Danzo looked at the intelligence report sent back by En Oyashiro, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
After all, the master mentioned by Sakami Yuzuru was an important figure known as the purse of the Land of Fire.
If they could capture him, it would be of great significance to Danzo's upcoming reform plans.
Hearing Danzo's words, Shikaku took the report from his hands. Af...
Let Konoha know who the true master of the Land of Fire is!
En Oyashiro's words instantly struck a chord with many of the nobles present.
Before Danzo came to power, the lives of these nobles were not only comfortable but also held a lofty status.
Although they nominally owed allegiance to the Daimyo in the capital, due to the distance, the Daimyo largely left them to their own devices.
As long as they paid sufficient taxes, the Daimyo and the noble ministe...
After spending some time playing with Chino, Danzo handed her over to Nonō and then turned to discuss serious matters with En Oyashiro.
"The medicines from the research institute are all prepared for you. Here is the list of all the drugs."
Danzo pulled out a scroll from his pocket and handed it over. The scroll detailed the effects, costs, and production cycles of all the medicines.
As for how much to sell them for and the profit margins, that was something En O...
Flying Thunder God Technique!
Hanekawa returned to the Anbu base.
After sitting down, he called out, "Haru!"
The door opened, but instead of Haru, an Anbu ninja wearing a hawk mask entered.
"Lord Hanekawa."
The hawk-masked ninja bowed slightly. "Captain Haru is on a mission and is not at the Anbu base."
Hanekawa raised an eyebrow, though he wasn’t particularly surprised.
Haru was an Anbu ninja, not his personal guard, so it was normal...
"What did you want to say?"
Hanekawa's face was pressed against Samui's chest.
His hearing was extraordinary, allowing him to hear her heartbeat through the thick layer of fat.
"I... I don't know."
Samui murmured.
"Did you forget what Atsui just said?"
Hanekawa looked at the tempting fair skin before him and asked with a smile.
"He said we need to return to Kumogakure."
Samui snapped out of her daze, her face showing reluctance.<...
September 23rd, clear weather.
As usual, after having breakfast, Hanekawa headed to the Anbu base.
"Lord Hanekawa."
Haru, who had been waiting for a while, approached him.
"Has Shinno made any new moves?"
Hanekawa glanced at her and walked toward his office.
"He infiltrated the Hokage building last night."
Haru followed behind him and reported.
"What did he do?"
Hanekawa raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Nothing."
A massive amount of water formed a trumpet-shaped wave.
Water Release: Water Instantaneous Body Technique!
Yūhi Kurenai calmly formed hand seals.
As the wave was about to hit her, she turned into a puddle of water.
The Water Release: Water Instantaneous Body Technique originated from Hanzo of the Salamander.
After learning it, Hanekawa taught it to Yūhi Kurenai.
After all, this technique was indeed very useful, akin to a weaker version of th...
"The red one is called Fierce Medicine. It uses a tiny amount of Tailed Beast chakra as the main ingredient, supplemented by various auxiliary drugs."
"It can greatly stimulate the ferocity and potential of living beings, allowing them to unleash more chakra and stronger power in a short period of time!"
"Compared to Shocking Divine Elixir, the Fierce Medicine has a much milder effect."
"It significantly reduces side effects. After use, it only causes partia...
What followed was relatively straightforward.
Under the combined suppression of the Sharingan, Wood Release, and Uzumaki sealing techniques, the Seven-Tails had no chance to resist and was swiftly sealed into Ryoma's body.
With this, the number of jinchūriki in Konoha officially rose to three!
Among them, the Nine-Tails was a well-known entity across the entire shinobi world.
As for the Seven-Tails, since it had caused significant damage to Konoha, ...
As Kakashi and Ryoma finished their preparations, Danzo finally spoke in a calm tone:
"Let's begin."
With that, he turned to Minato beside him:
"The safety of the perimeter is in your hands."
Minato nodded naturally, replying, "That's what I should do!"
Soon, under the orders of Minato and Danzo, ANBU and Root ninja took control of the entire Forest of Death.
All nearby villagers and shinobi were forcibly evacuated to prevent potent...
While the railway project was in full swing and the village's reconstruction was progressing rapidly, Danzo also had some new matters to address.
For example…
The Tailed Beasts.
That's right. After the Nine-Tails incident, the number of Tailed Beasts in Konoha had increased from one to three.
The Seven-Tails, which had participated in the attack on Konoha, was still being suppressed by the Barrier Team in the Forest of Death.
"It's tim...
"What?"
"Konoha has issued a large number of mission requests to the Hidden Rock Village?"
Ohnoki looked at the intelligence report in his hand, his face filled with confusion.
It's important to know that the major ninja villages in the ninja world are essentially in a competitive relationship.
There are only so many clients; if you grab more orders, I earn less.
This is also one of the important reasons why wars frequently break out among the five g...
The construction of Konoha was now in full swing.
With the assistance of shinobi, new-style buildings were springing up everywhere.
Roads that were once narrow streets were expanded into wide avenues capable of accommodating six carriages side by side!
The entire village was transforming day by day.
Not only that, but the first railway in the Land of Fire—the *Konoha-Rain Railway*—had completed its survey and design work and officially began construc...
"Alright, who wants to take a bath first?"
Hanekawa walked out of the bathroom and asked.
The house created by askeWood Release: Four Pillar House naturally didn’t have a water heater.
But he had prepared in advance.
Using Fire Release, he boiled water and poured it into the bathtub.
"You go first."
Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara spoke in unison.
"Both of you can take a bath. No need to be so polite."
Hanekawa said directly, "Kure...
In August, the dawn breaks early in the Leaf Village.
Tsunade opened her eyes and saw sunlight streaming through the window.
She yawned, realizing she had woken up unusually early today, even before Hanekawa's usual knock on her door.
Tsunade couldn't sleep. Every time she closed her eyes, she remembered what had happened the day before.
She took a few deep breaths, telling herself that falling in love was no big deal—even though she had never experienced...
In a small grove not far from the Anbu base, Hanekawa stood still.
His Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan trembled slightly as a surge of ocular power erupted.
A cold, eerie aura swirled around him, gradually solidifying into skeletal arms and ribs.
Hanekawa exhaled softly.
Two months after obtaining the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, he had finally unlocked the Susanoo.
Although it was only in its initial form, it was undoubtedly a significant breakthrough.<...
As the black Nine-Tails appeared, it immediately let out a deafening roar towards the sky.
Its nine tails spread out, wildly thrashing in the air, as a terrifying and malevolent aura began to spread in all directions.
A fierce wind blew, lifting yellow sand into the sky, creating a small sandstorm in an instant.
"Leaf Village ninja! Die!"
The black Nine-Tails suddenly lowered its head, its eyes locking onto Hanekawa with an intense, murderous gaze.
T...
With Danzō’s strong push, both the Konoha Expansion Plan and the Economic Integration Plan were smoothly approved.
Additionally, Danzō presented the Industrial Plan he had prepared earlier. Its main focus was to vigorously support industrial reform and innovation.
The village would provide various innovative industrial technologies, while the major clans and merchants would supply the funds.
Within the planned industrial zones, numerous factories would ...
Early in the morning, the clan leaders of Konoha once again dragged their tired bodies to the Hokage Building.
Recently, they had lost count of how many high-level meetings they had attended.
Although they weren’t particularly eager to attend, these meetings were crucial to the village’s reconstruction.
If they didn’t participate, they risked losing significant influence.
On the other hand, they also had many matters to handle within their own...
After entrusting the affairs of the Land of Earth to Shisui and keeping Hyūga Hizashi in the Land of Earth under the pretext of monitoring Kumogakure's movements, Danzō immediately set off and returned to Konoha!
Following the harrowing war, Konoha, the largest shinobi village in the world, was now in a state of rebuilding.
Fortunately, Danzō's lightning strike against Kumogakure had been highly successful, greatly minimizing the waste of Konoha's resources.
...
As the Land of Earth would serve as Konoha's frontline against Kumogakure in the future, Danzō naturally had to ensure it was firmly under his control.
Moreover, the fat pig of a Daimyō before him clearly lacked any ability to govern a nation.
Rather than leaving such a person in power, it was better for Danzō to take full control himself.
This would also prevent the Daimyō from doing anything foolish and causing trouble.
"Handle things here for now,...
Under the murderous gazes of the Fourth Raikage, Killer B, and the others, Danzō finally relented.
The reason for his retreat was simple: he had already obtained what he wanted.
"Well then, until we meet again," Danzō said, waving dismissively at the Kumogakure ninjas before him.
With a flap of his paper wings, he swiftly ascended into the sky, disappearing into the clouds with an air of ease and confidence.
Throughout the entire process, not a single K...
As a dazzling fireball rose in the distance, Dodai and the other Kumogakure ninjas turned pale. The direction of the explosion was none other than the Kumogakure camp!
That damned Danzō had actually made his move!
Dodai shot to his feet almost instantly.
A terrifying surge of chakra erupted from his body.
At the same time, the Kumogakure ninjas behind him also unleashed a shocking wave of killing intent.
They had expected this display to intimidat...
"This war was clearly started by Konoha declaring war first. How can you claim that Kumo initiated it?"
Dodai, the Raikage's advisor, immediately countered the first point of Konoha's demands.
In response, Shisui calmly replied, "Elder Dodai, don’t forget that it was Kumo who first conducted military exercises at the border, attempting to take advantage of the situation. If we hadn’t been pushed to our limits, why would we have declared war on Kumo?"
Dod...
Arrogant!
Utterly arrogant!
Hearing Shisui's words, Dodai's lips trembled with anger.
As for the Kumo ninja behind him, they were practically itching to attack and teach these Konoha fools a harsh lesson!
This reaction was entirely expected. After all, in past negotiations, it had always been Kumo who acted arrogantly. When had they ever been humiliated like this, with someone essentially spitting in their faces?
However, Dodai, bearing the respo...
At the frontlines in the Land of Rice.
"Teacher, Kumo has sent Dodai, the Raikage's advisor, as the chief negotiator for the talks."
"As for the location, they’ve chosen the Ash Mountain within the Land of Rice."
Upon receiving the news from Kumo, Shisui immediately reported to Danzo.
"So, they’ve sent Dodai to handle the negotiations, huh?"
Danzo wasn’t particularly surprised by Kumo’s choice. After all, something as humiliating as surrender...
With Danzo's triumphant return, the morale of Konoha soared to an astonishing level.
Some people even began discussing when Konoha, under Lord Danzo's leadership, could unify the ninja world...
This kind of talk might have sounded perfectly normal in Danzo's past life.
After all, unifying standards for vehicles, writing, and measurements was something ingrained in people's DNA.
No one could accept the idea that such a small ninja world was divided into s...
As the leader of the Root, Danzo, the master of intelligence, was well aware of the recent changes in the village.
However, when he returned and saw his own face carved on the Hokage Rock alongside the past Hokages, he couldn't help but feel a surge of unique emotions.
In the original story, Danzo's greatest regret was not stepping forward during the Second Hokage's test, which led to the Hokage position falling into the hands of Sarutobi Hiruzen. This was a lifelong pa...
No matter how much Obito tried to hold back his tears, the military exercises of the Hidden Mist Village in the southern part of the Land of Fire finally came to an end.
Upon hearing about Danzo's achievements, the once boastful fleet immediately turned their ships around and announced the conclusion of the exercises.
What kind of retribution the "Darkness of the Shinobi" would take for their opportunistic behavior remains unknown for now.
However, regardless of ...
Anbu Training Ground.
Two Jonin were sparring.
One was a shinobi from the Aburame clan.
The other was from the Uchiha clan.
Anbu members rarely sparred or interacted with each other under normal circumstances, but this was due to Hanekawa's so-called internal exam.
Coupled with the generous rewards and future prospects, they were all fighting with great enthusiasm, pulling out their best techniques.
Hanekawa stood on a nearby building, activat...
