He continued reading the information.
There were only a few lines, but Shimura Danzō was thrilled, exhilarated. He could feel his heart pounding again after so long lying dormant.
"This..."
"Is this information true?"
"Heh, of course. I used every spy I planted in Konoha to uncover it. It's absolutely reliable."
"These eyes have never been recorded before. They're entirely new."
"They evolved from the Byakugan. Just imagine what abilities they might have."
Orochimaru fanned the flames from beside him, and Shimura Danzō's heart pounded. For someone who loved gouging out other people's eyes more than anything, hearing about a new pair of eyes?
He was incredibly excited-extremely excited, in fact!

Eyes that had only just appeared would undoubtedly be heavily protected. Or, to put it another way, people from other villages might already have their sights set on them.
This was definitely no easy mission. All he wanted was to have Shimura Danzō draw
