Chapter 20: The Man Who Fought with the First Generation
Danzo and his group, who were standing on Bunta's head and running desperately, showed joy when they heard the huge explosion coming from behind.
"It's done!"
Jiraiya and Qing bumped fists and agreed to have a good drink after they got to a safe place.
[Damn Jiraiya, if it weren't for the sake of war, I would definitely throw you all off! ]
Feeling the excitement of the group of people above him, Wen Tai jumped faster.
[However, are Konoha's ninjas actually that powerful? This power...]
Feeling the chakra turbulence spreading everywhere, Wenta was full of fear of Danzo above him.
[Hurry up and send these guys to a safe place and leave. ]
......
"Oh, thank you very much, Boss Bunta. I will go back to Myoboku Mountain to see you after the war is over."
When they arrived at a safe place, Jiraiya patted Bunta's arm to express his gratitude, but all he got was a cold eye roll from Bunta.
"Hmph, Jiraiya, if you dare to call me out for something like this again, I'll devour you!"
He spit on Jiraiya's face, and as smoke rose, Bunta lifted the summoning technique.
"Ahahaha, Bunta's temper is really getting worse and worse."
After a couple of dry laughs, Jiraiya realized that no one was paying attention to what was happening here, so he could only pull Qing aside to talk in private.
Danzo kept staring at his right hand, constantly mobilizing the chakra in his body.
The large spiral chakra he had just created was made possible by the combined chakra of himself and Tsunade, but its power was far from being able to destroy a village with one strike.
The Shimura clan is considered to have a lot of chakra in Konoha.
Going up further, there are only top families like the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan...
[After this war is over, the village should start researching Hashirama's cells...]
Danzo was thinking in his mind about the direction of Hashirama's cell research.
If we infer based on the scenes we saw after his death, Hashirama's Wood Release actually has little to do with the Senju clan, but rather benefits from the fact that the other party is the reincarnation of Ashura.
Otherwise, even if I continue my research, the end result will be just getting another Tianzang.
We can only contribute to the real estate construction of Konoha.
[What if we extract the cells of Uzumaki, Senju, and Uchiha and fuse them together...]
There's no need to worry about the Uzumaki clan's cells. We have Kushina, Nagato, and Uchiha. It's enough to just extract some from Qing. As for the Senju clan...
Taking a quick glance at Tsunade beside him, Danzo shook his head. He didn't want Tsunade to know about this, so the only option was...
The figure of Tobirama appeared in my mind.
[I'm sorry, Mr. Tobirama, this is all for Konoha. ]
Haven't you always been dedicated to studying the Uchiha's body? This time it's your turn to help me study the Senju clan!
Danzo secretly decided in his heart that he would go and dig up Tobirama's grave when he returned to the village.
......
"This should be the Blackstone Fortress, right?"
Chiyo looked at the huge deep pit in front of him in confusion, patted his men beside him and asked.
"This...Look at the map, it should be..."
The subordinate swallowed nervously and stammered in response.
If you look at the map, this location is obviously Blackstone Fortress.
However, apart from this big pit, there was not even a stone used to build the fortress.
The entire fortress, along with the fifty or so ninja stationed within it, had completely vanished.
"Damn it, find them for me! Whether they are survivors or Konoha's ninjas, find them as much as you can and find out what happened!"
The exasperated Chiyo immediately entered into impotent rage mode, and ordered her men to dig deep into the ground to find a living person.
"Oh? Have you started searching? I should leave now."
In the distance, a man with half his face covered was secretly observing the situation in front of him.
The man was shirtless, and wherever the eye could see, there were black seams.
In his hands, he was tightly grasping the neck of a Sand Village ninja.
This was an unlucky guy who was carried to his side by the shock wave after the explosion. He was seriously injured and his breathing was very weak.
Seeing that the Sand Ninjas began to disperse according to Chiyo's instructions, the man did not want to cause trouble, so he dragged the unlucky guy away from the scene at a rapid speed.
Completely ignoring the fact that the Sand Ninja in his hand was only breathing his last breath, the man ran as fast as he could and came to a hidden small cave.
Throwing the Sand Ninja away casually, the man's body began to tremble strangely.
Making a sound that is usually only made when one cannot pull out, the black line on the man's body seemed to have intelligence, stretched out to the Sand Ninja, unbuttoned his shirt, and then...
"what--"
The Sand Ninja, who was still unconscious, let out a scream and when he opened his eyes, he saw a masked man holding a red, still-pulsating object in his hand.
"I accept your heart."
With a fierce tug, the man took out the entire heart and stuffed it directly into his body.
If any ninja from Takigakure passed by, they would be horrified to find that the man was none other than Kakuzu, a high-ranking traitor who had defected from their village many years ago.
"Sure enough, it's a heart of wind attribute. This way, we have a total of five hearts."
After stretching his body, the black lines returned to his body again, and Kakuzu looked at the Sand Ninja's face carefully.
"This head is worthless, so just leave it here."
"Speaking of which, that Konoha ninja..."
Kakuzu discovered Danzo and his men when they started to destroy the first wave of Sand Ninja teams.
The original purpose was just to follow them and pick up some valuable heads, but I didn't expect to see such a scene in the end.
"Of course he is far inferior to the first Hokage."
After all, he had fought with Hashirama before, so Kakuzu knew that if that person came in person, the fortress would not be able to withstand even a single Wood Release.
But the power of this technique was not weak either. In the end, he relied on hardening and using the Earth Grievance to penetrate into the ground for reinforcement, so he was not blown away.
"If we follow him, we should be able to pick up a lot of valuable heads."
......
Danzo, who had no idea that he had been targeted by an old man, was still heading towards Konoha.
Several people took off their combat uniforms, hid their Konoha forehead protectors, disguised themselves, and followed a group of refugees into the Rain Country.
"Really? The climate in our Fire Country is better."
Feeling the humid air, Jiraiya kept complaining.
This group of people first spent several months in the Rain Kingdom, and then went to the Wind Kingdom, where they ate sand for several months.
Now I am back to the rain country to get caught in the rain.
If the fighting continues, I will have no time to collect materials, no, to look for the son of prophecy.
Son of prophecy...
[I don’t know when I can see him. ]
Danzo was still considering the feasibility of mixing multiple bloodlines to suppress Hashirama's cells.
Finally, as night fell, the few of them settled down in a dilapidated village outside the city.
The village is full of traces of fighting, and it is easy to imagine why the indigenous people left.
After finding a relatively intact house and having a simple dinner, they decided that Jiraiya would keep watch in the first half of the night, while Danzo would volunteer to take charge of the second half.
......
He found a corner, wrapped his cloak around himself, leaned against the wall, and fell asleep.
In the dream, Danzo had the Mangekyō Sharingan in his left eye and the Rinnegan in his right eye. He controlled the Susanoo, kicked Otsutsuki Momoshiki and punched Otsutsuki Isshiki, looking so majestic.
"Danzo, you are indeed more suitable to be the Hokage than me. I am really ashamed of myself. This position should be given to you."
Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen coming to him with a shameful look on his face and handing him the Hokage's hat, Danzo patted Hiruzen's shoulder generously.
"Hahaha, Hiruzen, you finally admitted that I'm stronger than you!"
"Danzo, you are indeed my favorite disciple. Letting Hiruzen become Hokage was the biggest mistake of my life."
Looking at Tobirama who appeared out of nowhere and sincerely apologized to him, Danzo's mouth corners were almost twisted to the sky.
"Danzo-sama is mighty!"
"Danzo-sama is so handsome!"
"I want to give birth to a monkey for Danzo-sama!"
......
Seeing that the time was almost up, Jiraiya, who had been squatting outside, stretched his body, returned to the house, and prepared to call Danzo to hide.
I saw that the other person had his eyes closed and bursts of strange laughter came out of his mouth from time to time.
If you listen carefully, you can vaguely hear things like "The position of Hokage is no longer worthy of me", "Huruzen you are too weak" and so on that seem to be things that you shouldn't hear.
Feeling in his heart that the war brought pressure to people, even Lord Danzo had to rely on dreams to relieve the pressure. After hesitating for a long time, Jiraiya patted Danzo's shoulder and prepared to wake him up.
......
Damn it, I was dreaming about the most crucial moment when my butt was about to sit on the Hokage's seat!
Squatting on the treetop with an unhappy look on his face, Danzo was still unsatisfied with the content of his dream.
[Damn Jiraiya, when I return to the village I will send someone to follow you and catch you peeping into the bathhouse and make it public! ]
Although he said that he was not interested in the position of Hokage in this life, it is not illegal to dream about it. How could he not be a Hokage in a dream?
"Ok?"
Danzo was thinking about how to torture Jiraiya when he suddenly sensed an unfamiliar chakra approaching.
After determining the stranger's location, Danzo swiftly moved through the woods and soon came near him.
Sure enough, a shirtless man in the woods was approaching the village where he was staying.
"That guy..."
With the help of moonlight, Danzo could see the other person's face clearly.
Isn't that guy the Takigakure village rebel Kakuzu who threw a shuriken at the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, eight hundred miles away? !
