Shimura Danzo is dead.
Died in utter humiliation.
Originally, he could have died in a blaze of glory, but under the mocking laughter of the notorious liars, Uehara Naraku and Yakushi Kabuto, Shimura Danzo's psyche completely collapsed.
Uehara Naraku and Yakushi Kabuto are just too aggravating.
Forget it, the Ninja World isn't worth it, I'll give my life to them.
Even though Shimura Danzo wanted to activate the Inner Four Symbols Seal before he died to destroy his own body, he could no longer muster the strength.
Uehara Naraku opened a Sealing Scroll and sealed Shimura Danzo's corpse: "Bringing back Danzo alive is a bit tough, so we'll just have to take his body back. Hopefully, Teacher Konan won't mind this!"
"..."
Yakushi Kabuto silently observed Uehara Naraku's actions, pondering for a moment before suggesting: "Lord Naraku, why not present Teacher Konan with a bouquet of flowers when we return?"
No woman likes a corpse!
Uehara Naraku thought for a moment, shook his head, and sighed: "Ordinary women, like Konoha's Haruno Sakura or Yamanaka Ino, might like flowers, but Teacher Konan is different. She doesn't like such things."
Konan can fold paper flowers using her Secret Technique, so how could she like flowers?
Over the past four years, whenever Konan helped Uehara Naraku tidy his room, she would always leave behind a paper flower she folded by hand, in all sorts of varieties.
Even Uehara himself was a bit tired of flowers.
Yakushi Kabuto could only look helplessly at Uehara Naraku, who was contentedly packing up the Scroll, feeling that his new boss was probably already fantasizing about how happy Konan would be when receiving Danzo's corpse...
What could Yakushi Kabuto say to that?
As long as the new boss is happy!
Uehara Naraku was indeed very happy. He didn't expect that his main quest progress would also increase. Was it because he killed Shimura Danzo, or was it the reward for replacing him as the mastermind behind Konoha's downfall?
Main Quest: Fulfill the wishes of the book stall owner, become the biggest BOSS of the Ninja World, progress 17%.
Estimated that after completing the Konoha Collapse Plan, this progress will increase further.
Apart from this, there's another reward.
Side Quest: Defeat Shimura Danzo (1/1), quest completed, reward skill Space-Time Break.
Space-Time Break: Using Space-Time Jutsu to break the body's timeline, entering a state where no one can harm you, return to the position and status of 4 seconds ago, making yourself more advantageous in battle. After returning to the designated location, the surrounding space will explode, harming enemies. Minimum Chakra cost for the skill is 100 points, skill cooldown time is 55 seconds.
This skill can be considered a life-saving skill.
Strictly speaking, this is also a skill that can instantly kill enemies, as long as the timing and your position are calculated correctly.
It can even develop some tricky maneuvers.
For instance, using a Destiny Skill to teleport afar for a fight, then instantly Space-Time Break back to the original spot, just thinking about it feels cool.
This skill is much more useful than Izanagi.
Side Quest: Completely kill Shimura Danzo (1/1), quest completed, reward passive skill Dark Harvest.
Dark Harvest: Passive skill, after defeating a ninja, you gain a portion of their strength, with each granting you an increase of 10 points in Life Energy, 10 points in Chakra Energy, and 10 points in Natural Energy.
Uehara Naraku suddenly felt that Shimura Danzo was a good person.
Now with Dark Harvest, what other skills would he need?
As long as the number of people he defeats is enough, his strength will grow rapidly. Who else in the whole Ninja World would be his opponent? The opportunity to grow stronger has arrived!
Uehara Naraku couldn't help but turn to look at his most intelligent subordinate: "Kabuto, do you think it's feasible for me to start a Ninja World War and declare war on the Five Great Countries' Ninja Villages now?"
"...Why would Lord Naraku think that?"
Yakushi Kabuto's expression immediately changed, subconsciously wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, softly explaining: "Even though you can mobilize Akatsuki's power, capturing a small country is easy, but destroying a great country is not as simple as imagined, let alone five great countries' Ninja Villages..."
After finishing his words, Yakushi Kabuto added: "However, I will make sure to continue refining and researching the Reanimation Jutsu with Lord Orochimaru during this time. As long as we have a sufficient Reanimation army, we'll have the power to contend with the Five Great Countries!"
"..."
Uehara Naraku looked at Yakushi Kabuto speechlessly.
He just casually mentioned it, why did Yakushi Kabuto take it seriously?
No, Yakushi Kabuto seems to be one of the masterminds behind the Fourth Ninja World War later on!
Uehara Naraku shook his head, sighed, and said: "Alright, then I'll endure for a little longer, but you have to double your efforts!"
"Yes, my lord."
Yakushi Kabuto respectfully agreed but then asked: "I'm very curious as to why my lord wishes to start a Ninja World War?"
Uehara Naraku raised an eyebrow, intending to find an excuse: "Hold on, let me think of a reason... Never mind, I'll tell you once I've thought of it!"
Yakushi Kabuto: "..."
Damn it, the new boss is indeed a madman!
But as a competent subordinate, Yakushi Kabuto couldn't let his boss feel awkward, so he chuckled and said: "Lord Naraku wants to destroy the old order, taking the opportunity to resolve all the suppressed conflicts and wars in the Ninja World, correct?"
This explanation is not wrong.
To establish a new order, the Five Great Countries' Ninja Villages must be defeated.
"Yes, yes, exactly."
Uehara Naraku hurriedly nodded, giving Yakushi Kabuto an approving look, then continued: "Alright, let's clean up this place first, use Fire Release Ninjutsu to destroy it, make people think it's Uchiha Itachi or Uchiha Obito."
"Understood."
Yakushi Kabuto also looked at Uehara Naraku with complete approval.
After all, killing Shimura Danzo is such a big deal, how could they not cover it up?
Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi are undoubtedly the most motivated candidates.
If it weren't for Uchiha Sasuke's young age, Yakushi Kabuto would even think it's suitable to let Uchiha Sasuke take the blame, which would also push Sasuke to defect.
Due to inherent prejudice, Yakushi Kabuto believes that a genius ninja like Uchiha Sasuke is the most suitable candidate to join the Akatsuki.
After Uehara Naraku and Yakushi Kabuto left the base, a massive blaze erupted from Uehara Naraku's hand, instantly blowing up the Root Organization's base!
Very few ninjas in the Ninja World excel at Fire Release Ninjutsu.
Since the death of Uchiha Madara, the Sarutobi Clan and the Uchiha Clan have been competing for the title of the strongest Fire Release Ninja.
There couldn't possibly be anyone from the Sarutobi Clan who killed Shimura Danzo, so it could only be a member of the Uchiha Clan.
Uehara Naraku waved his hand: "Alright, let's leave here first. Someone will come to investigate soon, hopefully, it won't affect tomorrow's plans."
"It definitely won't."
Yakushi Kabuto was very confident in this, he softly explained: "If the one who died tonight was the Third Hokage, the Chunin Examination might be postponed; but it's Shimura Danzo who died, there aren't many in Konoha who know this leader of the Root Organization."
This is another downside to having a hidden identity.
There aren't many people who actually remember Shimura Danzo. The residents of Konoha Village don't know of any achievements he has, so how could he assume the position of Hokage?
"By the way, prepare an alliance document for me and give it to me during tomorrow's examination."
Uehara Naraku glanced at Yakushi Kabuto and softly continued: "The content of the alliance document should be a treaty between Konoha and The Hidden Rain Village, including Konoha supporting Hanzo of the Salamander from The Hidden Rain to become the Amekage, and supporting The Land of Rain in annexing The Land of Grass..."
After finishing his words, Uehara Naraku frustratingly patted his forehead: "Write whatever you see fit, but don't be absurd about it... As for the signature, just write Shimura Danzo!"
"I understand your intentions."
Yakushi Kabuto seriously nodded, implying that Shimura Danzo will bear yet another burden, suggesting that Uehara Naraku will personally take part in Konoha's Collapse Plan tomorrow?
"Alright, let's wrap it up for tonight!"
Uehara Naraku quietly activated his Destiny Skill, intending to return to his hotel room, but when he saw the avatars of Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura wandering in Konoha, his face immediately changed!
Damn it, what's wrong with that Haruno Sakura woman?
How many times has it been?
Why does she always ruin his plans!
This young girl, hopefully, she won't ruin his plans again?
With a gloomy expression, Uehara Naraku returned to his residence. Even if it's just to spite Haruno Sakura, after the Chunin Examination, he must take Uchiha Sasuke away!
