Chapter 93: Danzo in Action
Senju Hashirama: "Madara, look, the Ninja World is actually so big. Outside the Ninja World, there are still so many continents. I don't know if there are people living on them, or if they are also experiencing war."
Uchiha Madara: "No matter where it is, as long as nations exist, there will inevitably be war. This is unavoidable!"
Uzumaki Mito: "Let's take care of ourselves first. That place is too far away from us. Even if we wanted to do something, it would be beyond our reach."
Senju Tobirama: "Sister-in-law is right. We should focus on figuring out how to fight against the Honkai first."
As the people who knew Senju Hashirama best, they immediately understood his thoughts and poured cold water on his idea one after another.
Senju Hashirama: "I know all that. I just want to unite all the forces that can be united to fight against the Honkai."
Senju Tobirama: "But the premise is that those people can actually be united."
Moreover, there was something Senju Tobirama kept to himself.
Currently, only those of them who possessed chakra had appeared on the Sky Screen. The rest could only watch without being able to speak. It was highly likely that the people on other continents were in the same situation.
[Just when everyone's attention was drawn to the Beast Tide and the strange phenomena in the Land of Wind, over in the Land of Water, a group of mysterious people with a sinister aura silently descended upon the island where the Alliance Headquarters of the Shinobi Alliance was located.
"If I didn't have someone on the inside, I really might not have been able to get in."
The leader leaned on a cane, one of his arms heavily wrapped in bandages. Even one of his eyes was covered by bandages. This person was none other than Danzo.
"Hurry up. Although the alliance has deployed more than half of its elites for this Beast Tide, the ones remaining at the headquarters are not to be underestimated. We can't cause too much of a commotion."
Danzo waved his hand, and his subordinates moved nimbly, sneaking through the Alliance Headquarters.
After leaving Konoha, Danzo had managed to find a relatively stable base. However, because he had become a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat, coupled with the loss of Konoha's financial support, it was difficult for him to continue some of his experiments.
Although he did have other laboratories outside and some equipment was temporarily sufficient, he hadn't had the time to bring out certain rare experimental subjects.
It had to be known that those were precious Kekkei Genkai.
He had painstakingly scoured all over the Ninja World and Konoha to find them using Root.
Not only that, there were also many samples from ninja clans possessing powerful secret techniques. He wanted to rely on those corpses to research their secret techniques.
Regardless, as far as Danzo was concerned, any good thing belonged to him, and this was especially true for things belonging to Konoha!
Danzo had also been coveting the headquarters, which had gathered almost all the elites from the Five Great Ninja Villages, for a long time, but he had never found an opportunity to strike.
If he really dared to show his face here, countless people would want him dead!
His old friend, Sarutobi Hiruzen, had even been turned into a special puppet by the Second Hokage, completely disregarding any master-disciple affection.
This made him extremely terrified.
Because he feared he would suffer an even more miserable fate than Sarutobi Hiruzen.
However, to obtain stronger power, experimental subjects were absolutely necessary. Therefore, he had no choice but to take a risk this once.
Anyway, the one that came this time was just a Shadow Clone. His main body didn't come, so the danger wasn't that high.
Under Danzo's orders, these Root operatives used the cover of night to silently infiltrate the ninja clans within the headquarters.
Unexpectedly, Danzo's operation this time was actually very successful!
Perhaps because he only targeted minor ninja clans and weaker Kekkei Genkai families, completely avoiding the powerful Kekkei Genkai clans and steering clear of their core members, they smoothly accomplished their goal and successfully evacuated.
And it wasn't until daybreak that someone finally noticed something was wrong following Danzo's stealthy evacuation.
But by this time, Danzo had already run far away.]
Uchiha Izuna: "Pfft, hahahaha! Senju Tobirama, what a great disciple you've taught!"
Uchiha Izuna burst into loud laughter, mercilessly mocking Senju Tobirama.
Meanwhile, Senju Tobirama's face turned green like pork liver, unable to say a single word.
The Kage of the other ninja villages and the major ninja clans couldn't help but hurl abuse at Danzo.
Because what he did was simply too immoral.
Even if he only kidnapped marginalized clan members, weren't those members still part of the clan?
If their clan members were kidnapped and the clan head didn't say a word, the cohesion of the entire ninja clan would scatter.
Not to mention, judging by Danzo's intentions, didn't it seem like he was originally eyeing the core members, but just hadn't made a move yet?
Faced with this situation, the various ninja clans unceremoniously issued wanted posters for Danzo and placed a bounty on him in the black market.
It wasn't just Danzo; even Danzo's Root was not spared.
As long as someone brought the head of one of Danzo's Root operatives to the black market, they could exchange it for a large sum of bounty money.
And because it was a joint bounty issued by multiple ninja clans, Danzo's bounty had soared to an absolutely absurd level. The bounties for the Root ninjas under his command also generally reached over ten million ryo!
If someone could even bring the head of a Root operative at the Jonin level to claim the bounty, they could receive at least one hundred million ryo!
This level of bounty was almost catching up to the value of a Kage during peacetime.
One could only imagine just how furious the various ninja clans were.
And they weren't increasing the bounty just out of sheer anger; in fact, they also wanted to use those money-grubbing bounty hunters to help weaken Danzo's forces.
After all, with a rat in the gutter like that eyeing them, probably no one would be able to sleep well.
The higher-ups of these ninja clans had a large number of ninjas protecting them, so they didn't need to worry about their safety, but what about those ordinary clan members?
If they didn't do something, these clan members probably wouldn't even feel safe in their own homes.
While raising the bounty on Danzo and the others treated the symptoms rather than the root cause, it could at least cause trouble for Danzo and restrict his movements everywhere outside.
At the same time, they also began to unite to jointly search for Danzo's hiding place.
Unless they killed Danzo, they simply couldn't put their minds at ease!
And Danzo's death would be a good thing for everyone!
Shimura Danzo: "Y-You... Hmph! Isn't everything I do for the entire Ninja World? I have already researched the Honkai Energy Antibodies. The next step is to fuse the Meta-Morph Activator of the Honkai Beast. Seeing as it is about to succeed, allowing everyone to no longer fear the threat of Honkai Beasts and Herrschers, are you trying to make me give up?"
Terumi Mei: "How hilarious. Isn't the Honkai Energy Antibody something anyone can make? Is it worth showing off? Furthermore, isn't there something wrong with you yourself being able to discover the Honkai Energy Antibody?"
Minato Namikaze: "You keep saying it's for the Ninja World, but you're actually doing it for yourself, aren't you?"
Shimura Danzo: "Summer insects cannot talk about cold. I have nothing to say to you!"
