Chapter 92: I’ll Show You Hashirama At His Prime
Danzo listened to the Fox’s report and immediately chased after the key information:
“You mean someone’s genjutsu is powerful enough to control a Konoha Jonin and two Special Jonin?
He can also remotely control your subordinates, making your subordinates kill each other? And you still can’t get close?”
Yoru replied:
“Yes, Lord Danzo, his strength is too great, extremely difficult to deal with.
The Aries Squad Leader is a Hyuga Clan Ninja. My squad has lost intelligence reconnaissance capabilities and cannot face such a bizarre enemy, so we had to retreat to seek aid.
My Squad Leader Purple Cat was also hit by that strange attack and was seriously injured.”
A Root Ninja beside Danzo jumped down from the tree trunk to check on Purple Cat.
Too lucky, this Root Ninja was actually a Yamanaka Clan Ninja.
Danzo particularly liked the Yamanaka Clan’s abilities: manipulation, framing, control, which fit Danzo’s personality perfectly.
After the Root Ninja checked and gave simple treatment, he jumped back onto the tree trunk and whispered something in Danzo’s ear.
Danzo nodded repeatedly, confirming the killer’s identity.
“So it’s him. I should have thought it was him. He actually went all out against Anbu… The one who kills Konoha companions must be executed.”
There were many subordinates here, so Danzo didn’t name the enemy. He had already guessed it was Kato Dan.
Danzo thought for a moment, then said:
“Fox, the intelligence you brought back is very valuable. Lead the way ahead and return to the scene as soon as possible to find the approximate location you mentioned.
If it’s him, more people would be a disadvantage. Have your squad head to the Grass Country Front Line Camp first. Only you come with me.”
“Understood, Lord Danzo.”
Yoru had the other ninjas in the squad take the unconscious Purple Cat away, while he led the way for Danzo.
What to do? I’m just a little Anbu Squad Leader. I really don’t know who the enemy is.
I don’t know where Kato Dan is either. By a twist of fate, finding Uchiha Madara’s hiding place isn’t too much, right?
If Madara dies, the Ninja World has a grand finale.
If Danzo dies, Konoha has a grand finale.
Yoru’s leading speed grew faster and faster.
When people do bad things, the corners of their mouths can’t help but curl up.
Fortunately, he was wearing a mask; they couldn’t see Yoru holding back his laughter.
Yoru led Danzo straight to the cave where Uchiha Madara was.
He didn’t know if Uchiha Madara had completed Nagato’s Rinnegan transplant.
Chaos, chaos is good.
Danzo analyzed that the one who assassinated Anbu was Kato Dan, so he must think Yoru would lead him to kill Kato Dan.
In reality, the one Yoru was leading Danzo to see was Uchiha Madara, who used genjutsu to control three Konoha Ninjas.
Thinking about it made him a bit excited.
Yoru in front, two Root Ninjas on the sides, Danzo at the rear.
Soon, Yoru arrived below the hillside where Uchiha Madara was.
The boulder halfway up the hillside was still there. It was probably restored to disguise the cave entrance after the three Konoha Ninjas entered the cave.
Danzo, confident in his Mangekyo Sharingan, stood boldly below the hillside, exuding the demeanor of a master who feared nothing and had everything under control.
In his previous life, money was people’s courage. In this life, strength was ninjas’ courage.
Danzo looked at Yoru: “Fox, you go in first to probe the intelligence. See how many guard forces are around him.”
Yoru was extremely unwilling in his heart. His resurrection count for this month had just been used up; dying once more would really mean death.
But for Drive the Tiger to Devour the Wolf, he still steeled himself and went.
Yoru created a Shadow Clone.
One real body, one Shadow Clone. After a series of position-swapping twirls, they finally split up and circled toward the boulder on the hillside from both sides.
He arrived below the boulder with the Shadow Clone, encountering no obstruction.
Yoru sighed in relief. Thank goodness Madara wasn’t in the middle of transplanting the Rinnegan, so he had no time to pay attention to him?
That was really hitting the jackpot.
Yoru took out an Exploding Tag and stuck it below the boulder. Still, no one paid him any mind.
With a boom, the boulder was blasted open, revealing the pitch-black cave.
Yoru dodged the explosion and watched the cave cautiously from a not-too-far, not-too-close distance.
At this distance, Danzo couldn’t accuse him of slacking off, and he himself had a chance to escape.
A black shadow rushed out from the cave!
Yoru suppressed his fear and looked over to see it was a Konoha Jonin controlled by genjutsu.
After the Jonin, two Special Jonin followed.
These three Konoha Ninjas had dull gazes, clearly controlled.
Danzo glanced over and confirmed that three Konoha Ninjas were indeed controlled; Fox’s intelligence was accurate.
However, this manifestation didn’t seem like the Spiritualization Technique. Could Kato Dan’s strength have grown?
Yoru quickly selected the apparently weakest Special Jonin, charging up to block him, acting as if he wouldn’t let him get one step closer to Danzo.
The two Root Ninjas also rushed up the hillside, each facing off against a Konoha Ninja.
“Wake up! Don’t be controlled by genjutsu!”
The Yamanaka Clan Root Ninja seized the opportunity to infuse his chakra into the Konoha Jonin, trying to disrupt his chakra flow to break the genjutsu, but it failed.
Such strong genjutsu…
Yoru had no intention of fighting the Special Jonin seriously. He pretended to be no match, slowly retreating while keeping a distracted watch on the cave.
From the cave came the sound of slow footsteps.
These footsteps drowned out the sound of the heavy rain, piercing straight into everyone’s ears.
The elderly Uchiha Madara, leaning on his scythe, appeared at the cave entrance.
A bolt of lightning flashed through the rainy night, illuminating the deeply lined face of Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara’s eyes were not the Rinnegan but one normal Three Tomoe Sharingan!
Uchiha Madara had already transplanted the Rinnegan to Nagato. Next, he would design Nagato’s life, making Nagato increasingly extreme.
Uchiha Madara stood at the cave entrance and looked down at Danzo.
“Shimura Danzo, you’ve grown quite a bit to find my such well-hidden hiding place.”
Yoru thought to himself, it was because in his previous life he had accidentally found Uchiha Madara while following Nagato, not Danzo’s ability.
Danzo didn’t recognize who this old man was at first glance, but at the second, terror flashed in his eyes.
“Uchiha! Madara! You’re still alive!”
Perfect, these two finally recognized each other.
In the original story, did Danzo discover the living Madara? What a coincidence now; he did.
Danzo thought he was about to meet Kato Dan, but he never expected to meet the Uchiha Clan’s clan head from two generations ago, one of the two cornerstones of Konoha’s founding, Uchiha Madara.
This was a ninja on par with the First Hokage Hashirama Senju.
Danzo immediately lifted his Bandage Eyepatch, revealing his Mangekyo Sharingan.
Uchiha Madara snorted coldly.
“Despicable thief, you actually obtained a Mangekyo Sharingan.
That Mangekyo pattern must be Kagami Uchiha’s. Foolish Kagami Uchiha actually trusted Konoha, ended up dying himself, and his eyes became Konoha’s trophy.
No Uchiha who trusts Konoha meets a good end.
I told Hashirama Senju long ago that you, Shimura Danzo, have an extreme temperament and are scum who should have been killed early.
You should be grateful that you held a Konoha Ninja identity, allowing you to live until I left Konoha, live until Hashirama died.”
Uchiha Madara’s trash talk was in a league of its own.
Danzo’s face turned green.
The Special Jonin in front of Yoru fell; Uchiha Madara no longer controlled him. By now, Yoru had retreated almost to the base of the hillside.
Big shots fighting bloody battle—better not get accidentally injured.
Danzo slowly drew a kunai and spat Wind Release onto it, forming a Vacuum Blade on the kunai.
“Uchiha Madara, you’re so old now. I wonder how much of your prime strength you have left.”
The Vacuum Blade was sharper than any long sword. Danzo charged straight at Uchiha Madara with the Vacuum Blade.
“My prime? Have you seen my prime?” Uchiha Madara watched Danzo charging and continued mocking:
“In my prime, I had the Mangekyo, yet I was no match for Hashirama’s Wood Style.
Now you taste what I once endured.
I’ll show you Hashirama’s prime!
Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!”
