The Darkness of Konoha, the first Pot Kage, Danzo, was in a terrible mood.
His subordinates had not contacted him for two days!
According to his original expectations, Sarutobi should have sent that poor bastard over the day before yesterday to try to take his place.
Then the man would arrive at Root in the morning, be poisoned at noon, and be buried that afternoon.
After all, this was not the first time Sarutobi had done something like this. He had tried to wrest Root from Danzo before, but how could anyone he sent possibly shake Danzo's position?
Afterward, Sarutobi had gradually given him free rein.
Who would have thought a mere Shisui Uchiha could rekindle Sarutobi's little schemes!
Heh, no matter, no matter. When the time comes, Sarutobi will come to my door, crying and begging me to come out of retirement and lead Root in clearing away Konoha's obstacles again.
When that happens, the Uchiha will be my first target!
Then yesterday came. Danzo received no word from his subordinates, and Sarutobi did not come begging for mercy as expected.
Yet Danzo remained unruffled. He had confidence in his subordinates, and even more confidence in the Cursed Seal technique he had obtained from Orochimaru and upgraded himself.
But hasn't Orochimaru joined that Akatsuki lately? That's not good.
Back then, I took my men and joined Hanzō in killing Akatsuki's founder, and that red-haired man with the Rinnegan suddenly unleashed his power and went on a killing spree.
Luckily, I was cautious and used Shadow Clones for anything dangerous. Just what you'd expect of Teacher Tobirama's technique. So useful.
Luckily, Orochimaru doesn't know about this, but it's become a potential problem.
*I'll find an opportunity to see if I can send someone to infiltrate Akatsuki and kill Orochimaru while
