Looking at the Land of Waves Production Base before him.
At this moment, Danzo stood with his cane, his heart filled with melancholy. His expression was calm, and his eyes quietly gazed ahead.
He looked utterly composed!
Yet from the hands tightly gripping his cane, it was clear that he was somewhat nervous inside.
Three years had passed!
After that grand opening immediately turned shutdown, after Konoha had been forced into a Village Lockdown, he...
Shimura Danzō.
Had risen once more!
With the wisdom of Darkness of Ninjutsu, he had relied on deceptive tricks and substitutions to evade Kusagakure's notice.
Only then had he been able to secretly establish, over the past three years, a production base in the Land of Waves that could rival Kusagakure.
Of course, he understood in his heart...
How much had the village paid for this moment?!
Konoha had been forced into lockdown. The losses suffered by the major Ninja Clans had yet to recover, while Hiruzen... once vigorous despite his age, now leaned on a cane just like him!
And as for himself...
There was even less need to mention it!
He was still destitute. Even after three years of lockdown, Root remained the same as ever and had nearly disbanded due to a lack of operating funds!
This was simply humiliating!
But now...
Every sacrifice had been worth it!
After all, he had succeeded!
Danzo's eyes narrowed. He lightly tapped his cane against the ground, then led his subordinates inside.
Worried that Kusagakure might notice something, he had told Gato several days in advance... there was no need to imitate Kusagakure and put on some flashy welcome ceremony.
Come quietly, leave quietly!
He would remain behind the scenes, controlling the Land of Waves Production Base, standing on equal footing with Grass Ninja Manufacturing,
