Danzo's Aggression

"Unifying the Ninja World?" Atsumi Akino was so shocked by Yichen's words that her mind went blank, and she couldn't react for a long time.

Yichen smiled and said, "You heard me right. If I had Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique, I could single-handedly and quickly assassinate all the Kage Level from the Four Great Nations besides us and Akatsuki Organization."

"The rest is simple. Your senior brother Kawakita and the other Kage Level ninjas can each lead an army and wipe out a Great Ninja Village."

"The battle to Unifying the Ninja World might take some time, but it certainly won't be too long."

"At that time, I won't need to worry about Konoha, Sunagakure, or Cloud ninja, but rather how to govern the entire Ninja World."

"Akino, do you think researching Teleportation Array is more useful, or is researching the Flying Thunder God Technique more useful?"

Atsumi Akino was stunned for a while before saying, "Teacher Yichen, once you learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, can you really defeat all the Kage Level ninjas from the Four Great Ninja Villages combined by yourself?"

Yichen smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's not that bad. If they gather together, there's naturally nothing I can do about it."

"But if they remain scattered across their respective ninja villages like they are now, it won't actually take me much effort to defeat them one by one."

"If I let the Third Hokage finish me off from the shadows while I'm launching a sneak attack, it will be even easier."

Atsumi Akino's worldview was somewhat shattered; she had no idea the Flying Thunder God Technique was so powerful?

Yichen continued, "By the way, do you remember Obito Uchiha's two invasions?"

"Although we drove him away twice, the village didn't suffer any losses. But we were also caught off guard, using the strength of the entire village to fight against him alone."

"But do you know what happened to Obito Uchiha when he invaded Konoha? He was taught a lesson by Minato Namikaze all by himself."

"Therefore, studying Teleportation Array arrays can help us compensate for our weaknesses in this area. However, studying the Flying Thunder God can make this area a weakness for the enemy."

After thinking for a moment, Atsumi Akino asked, "Then, Teacher Yichen, why didn't you have me focus on practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique before?"

Yichen shook his head and said, "You don't have my strength. Even if you mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique to the level of Minato Namikaze, it wouldn't be of much use."

"Instead of doing that, we should focus on researching Teleportation Array, giving the village an extra Trump Card and increasing our chances of winning in any future wars."

Atsumi Akino was taken aback by Yichen's blunt words.

Yichen patted her shoulder and said, "Don't overthink it. You've never been a combat-type ninja; you're a research-type."

"Study space-time Ninjutsu diligently. If you can develop Space-Time Ninjutsu that others in the village can also learn, your contribution will be immense."

Atsumi Akino nodded somewhat listlessly.

Yichen, however, said, "The Flying Thunder God Technique is actually a very advanced Space-Time Ninjutsu. Logically speaking, there should be many Space-Time Ninjutsu of a lower level than the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"But currently, this is the only Space-Time Ninjutsu in the entire Ninja World. Obito Uchiha's is Dōjutsu, which is a different matter."

"If you can develop some Space-Time Ninjutsu that are lower in level than the Flying Thunder God Technique but easier for us laymen to master, then the strength of our Iwagakure can take another step forward."

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light finally appeared in Atsumi Akino's eyes.

Yichen added fuel to the fire, saying, "If your research really comes to fruition, I might even be able to use these Space-Time Ninjutsu to launch a war and catch Konoha off guard."

"So, keep it up. You have a lot to do, and the village has high expectations for you."

Atsumi Akino nodded vigorously. She had figured it out. Since she wasn't a combat genius like Minato Namikaze, she would just focus on doing research behind the scenes and providing support to the front lines.

Subsequently, Yichen assigned Atsumi Akino another task: to rebuild the Teleportation Array between the village and various secret bases without altering the existing Heavenly Transfer Technique.

All of this will be carried out in secret. Yichen will minimize the number of ninjas involved in this mission, and all participating ninjas will be subject to the strictest secrecy measures.

The impact of the collaboration between the Iwa ninja, Konoha Root, and Mist ninja in destroying the Jashin Cult of the Land of Hot Water and annexing the Land of Hot Water has not yet ended.

The Fourth Raikage publicly condemned the three parties involved in the operation and demanded that they withdraw their respective troops from the Land of Hot Water.

Meanwhile, Konoha, in an awkward Tsunade, vaguely used diplomatic language to deal with Kumogakure.

At the same time, Tsunade also put pressure on Danzo to a certain extent.

However, Danzo paid no attention to this. On the contrary, Danzo's actions became increasingly high-profile.

He stepped out of the shadows more and more frequently, and began to publicly express his views time and time again.

He openly courted the heads of various important positions in Konoha.

Danzo even interfered with the Ninja Academy, giving a speech there that only a Kage could give without permission.

While many people reject Danzo's actions and find them hypocritical, Danzo had just achieved a victory in a foreign military operation.

Konoha needed a victory like this to boost morale; the Konoha ninja and villagers had been looking forward to this victory for a long time.

Therefore, Danzo's radical actions were quite successful.

In particular, when Danzo publicly displayed the Wood Release of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, during a speech, the entire village of Konoha was in an uproar.

Wood Release, that's Wood Release, the Wood Release that the First used to conquer the world.

Danzo claimed that he learned his Wood Release from his teacher Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, Senju Tobirama, who in turn learned it from Hashirama Senju.

However, Senju Tobirama did not learn it himself, but instead passed the method on to his prized disciple.

Danzo even claimed that Senju Tobirama originally intended for him to succeed as the Third Hokage.

However, considering his talent for learning Wood Release, he was afraid that the trivial matters after becoming Hokage would delay his learning of Wood Release.

This is why the Hokage position was temporarily handed over to Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had obvious personality flaws.

At the time, Senju Tobirama stated that once Danzo mastered Wood Release, he would have Hiruzen Sarutobi return the Hokage position to Danzo.

Let Danzo, like the First, use Wood Release to lead everyone back to glory.

Such an explanation would not stand up to scrutiny, but in the face of Wood Release, no one can think about it using normal logic.

After all, Danzo didn't make it public knowledge early on that his Wood Release was only good for landscaping, unlike the original Tenzo.

Everyone assumed that Advisor Danzō's Wood Release would be just like the First's, making it as easy as catching a chick for the Nine-Tails, with a simple clap of his hands.

As a result, Danzo's prestige in Konoha reached its peak, making him qualified to become Hokage.

It was against this backdrop that Yichen received another message from Kajiyamari.

This time, Kajiyamari only handed over an urgent intelligence report from an intelligence Iwa ninja planted in Konoha by Iwagakure.

Because of this intelligence, the intelligence ninja who had been planted in Konoha Iwagakure many years has been exposed.

Yichen was originally sitting on the side of the Training Ground practicing his Light Release when he saw his three disciples practicing. Upon receiving the information, he immediately stood up.

"Someone, tell Advisor Saka that I have urgent business in Konoha," Yichen said to the Anbu members of the Anbu as he walked.

"You three, cultivate diligently!" Just as Yichen was about to disappear from sight, his words of instruction reached the ears of his three disciples.

After leaving the Training Ground, Yichen arrived at the Anbu base as quickly as possible.

Upon entering the Anbu base, Yichen made a clear objective and went into the room containing the Teleportation Array that Atsumi Akino had just completed.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yichen entered the Teleportation Array directly.

The next moment, Yichen appeared in the area in the Former Northwestern Land of Fire that had been ceded to the Land of Earth.

A branch of Iwagakure is under construction here. Yichen appeared from the underground Teleportation Array of this branch. Then he left the branch without stopping and headed straight for Konoha.

Although the Teleportation Array saved a lot of time, by the time Yichen arrived in Konoha, a considerable amount of time had passed since the incident.

Yichen wasn't sure if he was too late.

It turns out that this morning, after accumulating enough prestige, Danzo finally made his move against Shisui Uchiha.

Originally, Shisui Uchiha was no longer Danzo's subordinate, and he was free to disobey Danzo's orders.

Especially when Tsunade was also on guard against Danzo was unable to control Shisui Uchiha.

However, Danzo advantage of this period when his prestige in Konoha was soaring, Danzo suddenly sent someone to invite Shisui Uchiha to Root for a meeting.

Considering Danzo's recent rise to power, Shisui Uchiha dared not offend him and went to see Danzo anyway.

Similar to the original story, Shisui Uchiha lost an eye and was hunted down by Root.

Shisui Uchiha, living up to his reputation as a genius, activated Susanoo with one eye. However, this scene was captured by intelligence ninjas from Iwagakure.

That's how this situation came about.

Yichen used Camouflage Jutsu to conceal his figure, and with his enhanced Mind's Eye enhanced by Senjutsu, he conducted a wide-ranging search inside and outside Konoha.

Yichen's large-scale search quickly alerted the Konoha Barrier Team, and soon alarms sounded Konoha.

However, Yichen couldn't care less about that now, because he had already found his goal for this trip.

Similar to the original story, Shisui Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha reunited on a cliff.

Yichen rushed to where the two were as fast as he could and witnessed Shisui Uchiha gouging out his own eyes and jumping off a cliff to commit suicide.

"Finally made it." Yichen breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, he sensed Itachi Uchiha's aura fluctuating violently. At the same time, his own Mind's Mind's Eye was also undergoing a change.

Yichen rushed over in a great hurry, his main purpose being to allow the Mind's Eye ability, which is almost impossible to upgrade through normal means, to evolve once again.

As expected, faced with Shisui Uchiha's choice to commit suicide, Itachi Uchiha, just like in the original story, successfully awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

This allowed Yichen to hitch another ride.

However, people's hearts are rarely satisfied. Once the goal of the Mind's Eye evolution had been achieved, Yichen began to plan other things.

Itachi Uchiha was helpless against Shisui Uchiha, who was falling into the abyss, but this was not difficult for Yichen.

Suddenly, Itachi Uchiha's newly awakened Mangekyō Sharingan detected a large amount of Chakra falling from the sky into the abyss.

Upon closer inspection, Itachi Uchiha exclaimed, "Porcelain Release?! Tsuchikage!"

Itachi Uchiha was vigilant. Even though he was emotionally unstable at this moment because of Shisui Uchiha, he still made a judgment immediately.

And Itachi Uchiha immediately drew his weapon and became alert.

Soon, Itachi Uchiha spotted Yichen in the air.

However, the two were too far apart, and Yichen showed no intention of launching an attack immediately, so Itachi Uchiha simply stood still and did not move.

The two stood facing each other in silence, neither making a move.

After a while, the Porcelain Mud that had rushed off the cliff returned. Along with the mud, a sealed ninja also returned.

It was Shisui Uchiha had lost his eyes.

Itachi Uchiha was both surprised and delighted upon seeing this, as he could sense that Shisui Uchiha was still alive. However, this gave Yichen another bargaining chip to use against him.

Based on Itachi Uchiha's understanding of Yichen, he felt that Yichen would not let go of such an opportunity to threaten him. The Fox of Stone would never be influenced by his status Tsuchikage when doing such things.

Sure enough, Yichen smiled slightly and said, "Itachi Uchiha, your father and I have been friends who have cooperated a few times. Shall we have a chat?"

Itachi Uchiha did not close his Mangekyō Sharingan. He first lowered his gaze and glanced at Shisui Uchiha, then nodded somewhat dejectedly.

He looked up at Yichen and said, "May I ask what Lord Tsuchikage would like to discuss?"

His words were flat, his tone carrying a faint air of death, as if he had already resigned himself to his fate.

But the next moment, a line of bloody tears suddenly flowed from Itachi Uchiha's right Mangekyō Sharingan.

At the same time, black flames immediately ignited on Yichen's body.

"Amazing!" Yichen praised Itachi Uchiha while using the Porcelain Release Sealing Jutsu to seal the Amaterasu flames.

Itachi Uchiha is indeed remarkable. He is even smaller now than when Sokai and Izumi Uchiha their Mangekyō Sharingan, yet he can already directly use the Dōjutsu of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Moreover, there were no warning signs before the Dōjutsu was used.

It turns out that while Itachi Uchiha appeared to be standing still, he was actually exploring the new power he had gained from the Mangekyō Sharingan.

He knew very well that even if he awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, he would still be no match for Yichen.

Leaving aside Yichen's feat of nearly annihilating the entire Sand Ninja Army by himself, the fact that he Susanoo manipulated Shisui Uchiha when he activated Yichen demonstrates that Yichen's strength far surpasses that of a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan.

If Itachi Uchiha wanted to defeat Yichen, or rather, if he wanted to buy himself a chance to survive, he absolutely had to find a way from his Mangekyou Sharingan eye techniques.

Other Kunai throwing and Fire Release are a joke when facing the Tsuchikage.

However, when Itachi Uchiha heard Yichen's calm words, his heart sank to the bottom.

Sure enough, he watched as Yichen easily sealed his Amaterasu Flame, which could burn anything, using the Porcelain Release technique.

What made him even more desperate was that Yichen, who had been burned by Amaterasu for a moment, suddenly turned into a pile of rubble.

"Is that Porcelain Release Clone?" Itachi Uchiha felt a chill run down his spine. His full-force attack hadn't even scratched Yichen's Kakuzu?
