The night grew darker.
Uzumaki Naruto followed Haruno Sakura away from their residence.
In fact, there were no Anbu monitoring Uzumaki Naruto, and the person pretending to be from Anbu was going with his new superior to another place.
Yakushi Kabuto took off his Anbu attire and softly praised, "As expected of Lord Naraku, his thoughts are indeed meticulous. Information overheard is always more trustworthy than information told by others."
To be honest, Yakushi Kabuto was a bit nervous while performing.
He always thought that Uehara Naraku was pro-Konoha but didn't expect Uehara Naraku to act so decisively, directly enticing Konoha's Nine-tailed Jinchuriki to go berserk!
This new superior, aside from a lack of emotional intelligence, is truly top-notch in strategy and stealth.
If ever a dramatic change occurs in the Ninja World, Yakushi Kabuto has no doubt that his new superior would be the mastermind behind it all!
"Hehe... Basic operation."
Uehara Naraku chuckled softly, taking off the Hokage Kasa on his head and the Divine Robe on his body. He didn't know that Uzumaki Naruto left with Haruno Sakura afterward.
Because they had a big task to do.
Uehara Naraku rubbed his fingers, speaking softly, "So, Kabuto, did you arrange a meeting with Shimura Danzo tonight?"
"Of course."
Yakushi Kabuto nodded with a smile, explaining in a low voice, "Right now, Shimura Danzo is still waiting for tomorrow when Lord Orochimaru kills the Third Hokage, expecting to take the position of Fifth Hokage of Konoha! He's more invested in the Konoha Collapse Plan than anyone!"
"Interesting…"
Uehara Naraku smiled, curling the corners of his lips, "Then let's go and meet this half-Fifth Hokage of Konoha!"
Konoha Village.
Secret base of the Root Organization.
Here, away from the hustle and bustle of Konoha, always hidden on the outskirts of Konoha, allowing Shimura Danzo to conduct clandestine affairs.
Tonight, Shimura Danzo was a bit nervous.
Not for any particular reason, but because if tomorrow's Konoha Collapse Plan succeeds, it will be the most opportune moment for him to ascend to the position of Hokage.
Therefore, when Yakushi Kabuto temporarily asked him to meet tonight, Shimura Danzo was careful to come, fearing any changes to the plan.
He's already sixty-nine today!
If he doesn't take the Hokage position now, as he gets older, the chance will become more and more slim.
Clatter!
A heavy object falling sound echoed in the empty base.
This sound was similar to a corpse hitting the ground!
Shimura Danzo quickly raised his head, glanced at the trusted subordinates beside him, and coldly ordered, "Torune, go see what happened!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Aburame Torune soared towards the direction of the sound, but the next second his body was suddenly sent flying back, as someone hit him away with a single strike!
Aburame Torune's body crashed into the stone pillar within the base, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and after a moment, there wasn't a sound from him.
The newcomer casually lifted his head, looking at Shimura Danzo, "I've heard so much about you! Lord Shimura Danzo of Konoha!"
"Rain Village Ninja!"
Shimura Danzo frowned, recognizing the newcomer at a glance, "You're Uehara Naraku, who came to participate in the Chunin Examination this time!"
"The identity is indeed correct."
Uehara Naraku pulled a ring from his Ninja Pouch, putting it on his finger, saying softly, "Now allow me to formally introduce my other identity! I am an intern of Akatsuki, Uehara Naraku!"
As the words fell, Uehara Naraku's figure appeared behind Danzo with Shunpo, ready to twist Shimura Danzo's head off with a wave of his hand.
Shimura Danzo quickly raised his Ninja Blade, blocking Uehara's attack, his voice sounding deep, "Such a fast Instantaneous Jutsu… no wonder you dare to assassinate me."
"Your moves aren't slow either, Lord Danzo!"
Uehara Naraku suddenly raised his knee, striking Danzo on the chest, watching as the elderly man spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, instantly breaking his defensive stance.
Uehara Naraku kicked him down to the ground with a mid-air kick!
"Still a Taijutsu master, huh?"
Shimura Danzo's expression turned extremely grim, feeling as if he didn't know how many of his bones were broken by Uehara Naraku. It would be impossible to fight like this.
Shimura Danzo suddenly pulled out a blade, slicing off the Sealing Iron Tools on his arm, revealing an arm filled with embedded white Sharingan.
A Sharingan on the arm quietly closed its eye.
"Did you activate it already?"
Uehara Naraku curled his lips, watching as the figure of Shimura Danzo turned into a blur on the ground, he softly said, "Then let me once again experience what it feels like to kill the same person repeatedly!"
Shimura Danzo was using the Uchiha's Kinjutsu Izanagi.
This Kinjutsu is known as a Divine Skill, allowing the Technique User to transform realities disadvantageous to themselves into Genjutsu, thus avoiding any harm.
Including death.
The price, of course, is the Sharingan's blindness.
However, Shimura Danzo had a whole arm full of Sharingan!
In the next moment, Shimura Danzo's figure popped out from the air, slashing towards Uehara Naraku's throat!
Crack!
The Ninja Blade was broken by Uehara Naraku with a side hand chop!
The broken piece of the Ninja Blade was instantly grabbed by Uehara Naraku, flicking it into Shimura Danzo's throat, intending to end Danzo's life again!
Unfortunately, it seemed Danzo was still within Izanagi's duration, and the move didn't cause any harm, so Uehara Naraku could only retreat a few steps.
