Chapter 255: Danzo: I want him to die
Chapter 255: Danzo: I want him to die
When Lu Li and Itachi were almost done discussing, Lu Li thought of something and asked, "By the way, Itachi, you said that Uchiha Shisui gave you his other eye before he died, so can you use Kotoamatsukami?"
Itachi shook his head, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Senior. Brother Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan's eye technique is very special. Even if he uses it himself, each eye needs to be nurtured for ten years after using its power before it can activate Kotoamatsukami again. And I just got this eye not long ago. The damage caused by the transplant means it will take at least two years before it can use illusions."
Lu Li was a little surprised when he heard this. No wonder Itachi did not try to use Kotoamatsukami to solve the problem. Kotoamatsukami's words to Uchiha Fugaku would be of little use. After all, a coup d'état was not something that Uchiha Fugaku could decide from his own position.
Itachi's father might not want a coup, but the trend is unstoppable. If there is no way to improve the current situation, a coup in the Uchiha clan is inevitable.
Therefore, it is useless to use Kotoamatsukami to change the will of Uchiha Fugaku alone. There must be a practical solution to the problem.
But if Kotoamatsukami is used on the Third Hokage, it can temporarily solve the problem. As long as Uchiha is given real benefits, he can stabilize Uchiha.
"Itachi, you said that it will take some time to recover its power after the transplant, so Danzo can't use this eye?"
Lu Li asked. He would most likely have to fight with Danzo, the old scoundrel, later. Before seeing Danzo himself, Lu Li was not sure about the other party's spiritual attributes. It would be troublesome if the other party's spiritual attributes were not within his immunity range and he could activate Kotoamatsukami.
Itachi pondered for a moment, "I'm not sure, because I only temporarily placed Shisui-kun's Sharingan on Ninja Crow. If it is nurtured by a powerful ninja, it may take a few months, or even less, to activate Kotoamatsukami."
"How come there is no rejection reaction when putting it on a crow..."
Lu Li complained, he wanted to say that your Sharingan is really plug and play.
"Rejection reaction?"
Itachi said in confusion, he didn't understand biological science, he just heard that the Sharingan could be transplanted, and he didn't want to dig out his own eyes and replace them with Shisui's, so he put them on Crow first to keep them active.
"Nothing... Anyway, according to your experimental results, there is no guarantee that Danzo can't activate Kotoamatsukami now, right?"
Lu Li brought the topic back to the topic. Shisui had been dead for nearly a month. With Danzo's scientific research level, the transplant must have been better than Itachi's. He might even be able to activate Kotoamatsukami.
"That's right, Senior, are you going to attack Danzo?"
The three-magatama Sharingan in Itachi's eye sockets slowly turned, "What do I need to do?"
"Don't worry, your features are too obvious. If you are discovered by the villagers, you will become a traitor with me. I can deal with Danzo alone."
Lu Li said, "Your mission is to deal with the masked man."
It is impossible for Obito not to intervene in the big game of Konoha. When the day comes that Konoha's destruction plan comes, Obito will definitely show up.
Although they belong to the same Akatsuki organization, Obito may not necessarily stand on his side, because in Obito's view, he is an uncontrollable chess piece and is not linked to Obito's direct interests.
In order to prevent Obito from interfering with the Uchiha affairs, Lu Li thought about just finding an opportunity to kill Obito.
…………
Konoha, inside the secret base of the roots.
Danzo Shimura was sitting on a high chair deep inside, looking at the sudden visitor in front of him, an ugly smile appeared on his old face.
"Why did you come to see me?"
Danzo looked at the masked man in front of him. The two had cooperated several times, but he did not consider the other party as his own.
In his heart, the masked man was just a pawn to achieve his political goals. When he became Hokage, he would definitely get rid of this evil Uchiha.
"Want more Sharingan?"
Obito knows certain negotiation skills and can throw out the chips that the other party is interested in right away.
"Oh? You mean the Uchiha clan?"
Danzo remained calm, but his heart was actually moved.
During the Third World War, he had secretly collected several Sharingan. Because of the deal with the masked man, he also obtained the forbidden techniques of the Uchiha clan, which greatly increased his ability to survive.
The only flaw of that forbidden technique was that it consumed a Sharingan every time it was used, which was such a waste. He only had a few of them and was reluctant to use them.
As for the eye of Shisui under his bandage, he would not use it as a consumable for forbidden techniques.
"I have a way to wipe out the Uchiha clan, but I need your cooperation. After the plan is completed, we will divide the Sharingan of the clan members equally."
Obito said in a bewitching tone, "How is it? Isn't this a good deal?"
"Hahaha……"
Danzo laughed darkly, "You are truly heartless. If I were not sure that Uchiha Madara was dead, I might have believed your self-reported identity."
He stared at the masked man with one eye, "Tell me, how can we destroy the Uchiha?"
"It's very simple. You find a way to summon Itachi and use Kotoamatsukami to have him represent the Uchiha clan in attacking and killing the Third Hokage. Whether this succeeds or not, it will be good for you, right?"
The corners of Obito's mouth curled up under the mask, "If Itachi succeeds, the position of Hokage will be vacant, and you can take the position directly. If he fails, it doesn't matter. I can cooperate with you to destroy the Uchiha clan."
Danzo narrowed his eyes after hearing what Obito said. Even with his viciousness, he had to admire that this plan was so sinister.
If the masked man had come to him and said these words yesterday, he would probably have agreed without even thinking about it.
This is simply the perfect countermeasure at this stage, a plan that kills three birds with one stone, destroying the Uchiha, smoothing his path to becoming Hokage, and obtaining the Sharingan. No matter how you look at it, this plan is perfect. But now, Danzo needs to think about where to use Kotoamatsukami to maximize the benefits.
He had thought of several ways to use Kotoamatsukami before. At first, he wanted to control Hiruzen to make him give up his position, but then he thought this plan was too crude, after all, there were many eye-jutsu bloodline ninjas in Konoha.
Kotoamatsukami is not without flaws. With just a glance with his Byakugan, one can see abnormalities in the chakra in the brain, and then one will know that the target is being controlled by an illusion.
Therefore, it is too risky to use Kotoamatsukami on a public figure like the Third Hokage who is the focus of everyone's attention.
Later, he thought of a second plan, which was to use Kotoamatsukami against the daimyo of the Fire Nation and make the other party support him unconditionally, which would allow him to gain a huge political advantage.
You should know that Konoha Village receives funding from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire every year. In essence, their ninja village is the military department of a big country, and the Daimyo still has a certain influence on the ninja village.
But today, he overturned all his previous ideas. He felt that using Kotoamatsukami against the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki would be the most cost-effective.
As long as Hiruzen agrees to his conditions, he can still become Hokage and control the Jinchūriki. At that time, he will be in charge of both military and political affairs. Who else in Konoha can check and balance him?
Uchiha? He didn't believe that any illusion could have a higher priority than Kotoamatsukami. With all the ninjas in the village and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, could he not overthrow a family?
"Danzo, what are you still hesitating about? Do you think you have a way out?"
Obito was somewhat dissatisfied when he saw Danzo's silence. "You have done so many shameful things over the years. The natural disaster is now out of trouble. A few days ago, he almost razed the Hidden Mist Village to the ground. Who do you think his next target will be?"
Danzo's face looked a little grim when he heard that. The battle record of the natural disaster really shocked him and made him sleep poorly these past few days.
Even though the Hidden Mist Village was weakened, it was still one of the five major ninja villages. Apart from the two legendary people in the Warring States Period, this was the first time he heard of a ninja who could single-handedly challenge an entire ninja village.
It was he who framed Tianzai and forced him to leave. Now that he is back, will he let him go?
"What do you want to say? Even if I cooperate with you, how can I prevent the natural disaster from killing me?"
Danzo asked.
"Don't forget my identity. Akatsuki is still under my control, and the natural disaster must obey my orders. Although I can't instruct him not to take revenge on you, I can help you buy a lot of time."
What Obito said was pure nonsense. Akatsuki's current military operations have been stopped and they will not collect the tailed beasts, which means Lu Li will have a long vacation.
There are no mercenary missions in international wars, and the Akatsuki organization is unlikely to help people work for free, so he cannot send Lu Li running around in the name of organizational missions and not have time to go to Konoha.
He said this now just to get Danzo to stand on his side and cooperate with him to deal with the Uchiha matter first.
He did promise Itachi that he could help Itachi launch a coup, but he was just talking. In fact, he did not want the Uchiha rebellion to succeed, as that was not in his interest.
The best outcome is still the annihilation of the Uchiha clan, Itachi rebelling from the village and joining the Akatsuki organization.
After committing such a crime as attacking and killing three generations, no matter whether it was against his own will or not, he would definitely not be able to stay in the village in the end.
"Just to buy time?... I want him dead."
Danzo's voice was low, the natural disaster that destroyed the Hidden Mist Village was a thorn in his heart, and he didn't think he was stronger than the Fourth Mizukage Yagura.
"Let him die?"
Obito was a little annoyed, "I can't guarantee that. Calamity is not that easy to kill. Besides, he is the most useful chess piece in the organization. Nagato can't afford to give up his martial arts."
As an advisory elder of Konoha, Danzo certainly had no reason to interfere in the affairs of the Rain Country. It was he who made the connections that led to the collaboration between Hanzo Salamander and Danzo to kill the first generation of Akatsuki.
So Danzo knew very well who Nagato was and what the current situation of Akatsuki was.
"So……"
Danzo hesitated for a moment, then made the next best choice: "...you send him to Konoha and let him communicate with me about the information. I will find a chance to kill him myself."
He thought that since the masked man was unwilling to do it himself, he might as well give him a good chance. As long as Tianzai was deceived by the organization and arrived at his base without much preparation, he would have a high probability of killing the opponent if he made arrangements in advance.
If all else fails, he can bear the pain and use Kotoamatsukami to pull Calamity into his own camp. After all, he will be a powerful fighting force and will be helpful in his competition for the Hokage.
Obito was silent for a moment after hearing Danzo's request, "Of course you can, but you can't use Kotoamatsukami on him. Save it for Uchiha Itachi."
"Don't worry, I won't forget our deal."
Danzo smiled, but actually didn't take the other person's words to heart at all.
If his life was really in danger, he wouldn't care about so many things. He would use Bie Tian Shen if he could. He would never take Bie Tian Shen into the coffin.
"Then let's put it this way. You should hurry up and find a way to deal with Uchiha Itachi. He may not come to see you yet."
After Obito finished speaking, his figure twisted and disappeared into space, leaving Danzo alone sitting there in deep thought.
…………
On the other side, Lu Li, who had just finished the discussion and was about to find a place to stay, suddenly felt the call from the Akatsuki ring on his hand.
"Itachi, help me keep an eye on the surroundings. I need to contact the organization."
Lu Li did not leave either. He found a comfortable position to sit down in the Uchiha shrine and began to use the Phantom Body Technique.
He wanted to see what Nagato wanted to talk to everyone about at this time.
