Danzo Loses Composure

If Uchiha Madara hadn't been so familiar with the Mangekyō Sharingan, even Uchiha Madara, who was fighting Uchiha Yue, might not have realized that Uchiha Yue was already under the control of Susanoo. [sgu,60, sssearchjdsfreedownload] Or perhaps, the Susanoo that Uchiha Yue created using his Mangekyō Sharingan had already gone out of control. The relationship between control and being controlled was completely Susanoo, ultimately leading to Uchiha Yue creating a complete Susanoo without fully mastering it.

But even if Uchiha Yue's Susanoo has gone out of control, and the Susanoo should have been controlled by Uchiha Yue has instead taken control of its master Uchiha Yue, so what?

Under such circumstances, the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, who had lost all four limbs and was exhausted, was unable to pose a threat to Uchiha Yue, even under the control of Uchiha Madara.

Even under the control of Susanoo, Uchiha Yue's combat abilities remained extremely strong.

Therefore, when Uchiha Yue, carrying his mother Uzumaki Minako, appeared before the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, controlled by Uchiha Madara, with the help of the Susanoo in its complete form...

This battle can now be considered over.

As for the final victor, it will undoubtedly be Uchiha Yue!

Because, Susanoo the control of Uchiha Yue still possesses strength that rivals the pinnacle of the Shinobi World!

However, Uchiha Yue, who was engaged in a fierce battle here, and Uchiha Madara, who was controlling the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, probably never imagined that while they were fighting hard near Mandarin Fish Town, the entire Shinobi World was also watching their battle and the outcome. Among them, Konoha was probably the ninja village that was paying the most attention to Uchiha Yue. After all, Uchiha Yue's current position in Konoha was extremely awkward, yet he was also very influential, making it impossible for Konoha not to pay attention to Uchiha Yue's battle.

Three days after Uchiha Yue fought Yagura Uchiha Madara, who was controlling the Fourth Mizukage, a scroll of intelligence was finally delivered to Konoha and given to Shimura Danzō, who was in a secret room.

However, before Shimura Danzō reading the intelligence in his hand, the door to the secret room was suddenly pushed open.

At that moment, even without looking up, Shimura Danzō could guess who had entered the secret room, so his attention remained on the scroll of information in his hand as the person entered.

Because the person who could arrive at the entrance to that secret room without needing to announce their arrival must be the Third Hokage of Konoha.

Therefore, the moment the door to the secret room was opened, Shimura Danzō knew that the Third Hokage had come to him, intending to ask about Uchiha Yue.

"Danzo, has the intelligence been relayed back?"

His gaze fell upon Shimura Danzō. The Third Hokage's face was weathered and worn, clearly indicating that while Uchiha Yue was engaged in chaotic battles in the Land of Water, the Third Hokage been busy in Konoha. The matter at hand concerned Uchiha Yue's mother, Uzumaki Minako. While Uchiha Yue Kirigakure, the Kirigakure Shadow Guard, and the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, who was being controlled by Uchiha Madara, the Third Hokage, following the negotiation messages Uchiha Yue relayed, had been Uzumaki Minako Kirigakure allow Uchiha Yue to return to Konoha as soon as possible.

However, the Kirigakure was surprisingly tough on this matter, causing the Third Hokage considerable trouble in dealing with it.

Therefore, upon hearing that information about Uchiha Yue had been relayed back, the Third Hokage arrived at Shimura Danzō almost immediately.

Undoubtedly, the Third Hokage wanted to know about Uchiha Yue's current situation and what he had done in the Land of Water.

Only by understanding these things could the Third Hokage gain the upper hand in dealing with the matter of Uzumaki Minako Uchiha Yue.

But...

To the Third Hokage's slight surprise, Shimura Danzō in front of him, did not answer him for a long time after he asked him a question.

Seeing that Shimura Danzō slightly out of sorts, the Third Hokage frowned slightly and asked Shimura Danzō again, "Danzo, what exactly happened?"

"Um?"

Having finally finished reviewing the intelligence in his hands, Shimura Danzō was deep in thought and hadn't heard the Third Hokage's question earlier.

Moreover, even when Shimura Danzō heard the Third Hokage's question, he seemed somewhat confused, clearly indicating Shimura Danzō he was still thinking about other things.

Then, Shimura Danzō there dumbfounded for a full three minutes in front of the Third Hokage.

Finally...

Three minutes later, Shimura Danzō fully recovered and slowly said to the Third Hokage before him, "Sarutobi, the information about Uchiha Yue has been relayed back. I know why you came, so I'll get straight to the point. According to the intelligence, Uchiha Yue shouldn't have died in the Land of Water. Because my 'Root' team members have been gathering intelligence in the Land of Water for a long time, but they haven't found Uchiha Yue's body or any trace of Uchiha Yue. Based on my analysis, Uchiha Yue has most likely already left the Land of Land of Water."

"Of course, this is just my analysis."

Shimura Danzō paused slightly, then took a deep breath in front of the Third Hokage.

When the Third Hokage saw Shimura Danzō's expression, he knew that something extremely important must have happened in the Land of Water.

Otherwise, based on the Third Hokage's understanding of Shimura Danzō would never normally show such an expression, and even his speech would seem somewhat hesitant.

Soon after, seeing that Shimura Danzō was clearly not in good condition, the Third Hokage did not urge him further.

Then, when Shimura Danzō's eyes finally focused, the Third Hokage asked, "Danzo, has something else happened in the Land of Water that's making you feel pressured?"

At this point, the Third Hokage paused slightly, then said in a relaxed tone, "Danzo, just say what's on your mind! We've been friends for so many years, is there anything you need to hide from me?"

"No, Sarutobi, I think you'll lose your composure once you know what the intelligence says."

As soon as the Third Hokage finished speaking, Third Hokage Shimura Danzō's gaze fell directly on him. In an extremely grave tone, he said, "Sarutobi, do you know what kind of intelligence my 'Root' team members obtained within the Land of Water? Near the Mandarin Fish Town on the border of the Land of Water, there are nearly two hundred corpses of Kirigakure, including eighty-seven Jonin-level Kirigakure ninja! Judging from the manner of Kirigakure deaths, they all likely died at the hands of the same person!"

"Furthermore, if our Root team members haven't received false intelligence, then the place where nearly two hundred Kirigakure were brutally murdered happened to be the route the Kirigakure ninjas were taking to escort Uzumaki Minako!"

"Sarutobi, now you should understand why I lost my composure just now, right?"

"I think you've gleaned something from this intelligence, haven't you?"
