Capítulo 41: 41. Danzo Hiding In The Dark
The right eye governs yin and yang, while the left eye halts time.
Though neither of these is a direct attack technique, Yagami is very satisfied. The power of yin and yang alone has limitless applications, and its utility goes beyond mere combat strength.
As for Time Stop, it is an absolute trump card.
It can not only completely freeze time within its range but also cut off chakra flow.
One second might seem brief, but it can be fatal in battle.
The next time he encounters Obito, Yagami may not have complete certainty, but at least he won't be helpless.
Of course, if Obito remains intangible in Kamui's space, there's little Yagami can do.
As for gambling on a single move, that's out of the question. The Time Stop consumes too much chakra, and a missed attack could place him in danger. His life is worth more than gambling it on Obito…
"This technique has high chakra costs, so it's best to use it sparingly," Shisui advised, seeing Yagami this weak for the first time. Given his state moments ago, it's clear this pupil technique is formidable!
"I understand. Nothing new happening lately, right?"
"It seems everything is calm. The clan's various activities are progressing smoothly, and the village leadership appears to have taken their focus off us.
The Hokage has not stopped his attempts to contact the daimyo.
Recently, he issued a transfer order to the major ninja clans.
They aim to form the Twelve Ninja Guardians for the Land of Fire, and the clan head agreed to send Sasuke along with a group of Jōnin of the appropriate age to the academy."
Sasuke is heading to the academy! According to the timeline, this should be around when Itachi launched the Uchiha massacre in the original storyline.
It's surprising how much time has passed…
For two key characters, Naruto and Sasuke, Yagami still holds considerable interest, though for some reason, he hasn't actively approached them.
Fortunately, Sasuke is a member of the Uchiha clan, and there's no tension as in the original storyline. Having not experienced the massacre, Sasuke is different from his canon counterpart, acting like any other Uchiha child—proud but not vengeful.
As for Naruto, he remains much the same as described in the original storyline. He often causes mischief to attract attention. His recent "free flight" prank surprised Yagami for quite a while.
"The Third Hokage remains disappointing as ever! Guardian Twelve Ninja… What a joke. Ignore it, but have Itachi maintain good relations with the daimyo. By the way, has there been any movement from Danzo?"
With Uchiha still in Konoha, Sasuke attending the academy isn't unusual. As a member of the Uchiha, he is bound to receive elite education from the clan. Schooling is merely a gesture from the Uchiha to the village.
The relationship between the Third Hokage and the daimyo isn't something Uchiha is concerned with.
While the daimyo may harbour distaste for Konoha, he understands that the Land of Fire cannot do without it.
In the ninja world, a ninja village is akin to the nation's military backbone.
Even with the increase in military power, and despite any tensions, the daimyo wouldn't dare to truly dismiss Konoha.
By contrast, it's strange that Danzo has remained inactive for so long.
With Uchiha's development steadily progressing, village animosity has nearly faded, and their reputation in the village is on the rise. With Danzo's personality, it's unthinkable he'd stand by watching Uchiha flourish.
Although Danzo's position was reduced to that of an elder and Root was officially disbanded, everyone knows that as long as Danzo is around, Root will never truly disappear.
It's strange that this old dog hasn't made any moves, even when he had both power and manpower.
"Yes, not only has Danzo stayed quiet, but the Shimura clan has been living very humbly.
In the past, they would go to the Hokage's office to speak with the Third Hokage about us.
Lately, when they saw our people near their clan grounds, they'd rather halt any construction task at hand just to avoid us…"
"Hold on! Have the police department clansmen stop patrolling around the Shimura clan.
Compress the six teams into two and reassign the coverage area back to our Industry Street.
Additionally, inform the clansmen in Industry Street not to travel alone; outside our clan territory, they should move in groups of at least four."
Yagami interrupted Shisui, immediately changing the travel protocols for the clansmen.
"You mean…"
"It's always wise to be cautious. Danzo will never give up on targeting our clan. His inactivity only shows he's planning something bigger."
Currently, Uchiha has nearly achieved autonomy under Konoha's management. If Danzo wants to make a move, there aren't many entry points left for him.
However, Danzo is notorious for his ruthlessness. He might target the Uchiha clan directly. With so many people to protect, Yagami can't be everywhere, so this is the best precautionary measure.
In truth, Danzo hadn't troubled the Uchiha recently because he was focused on researching the Sharingan.
After witnessing the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Danzo was consumed with desire. He dreamed of obtaining that power and deeply regretted not keeping Shisui's eyes when he had the chance.
But obtaining a Mangekyō from the Uchiha now was nearly impossible, so he started wondering if he could evolve a Sharingan he already possessed into a Mangekyō, devoting considerable time and energy to this effort.
However, his efforts were in vain. If awakening the Mangekyō were that simple, the Uchiha wouldn't have been so heavily targeted by the village in the past.
Not only did he fail to make progress, but the Sharingan he held became increasingly depleted. Now, acquiring a new Sharingan pair was more difficult than ever.
Uchiha had two visible pairs of Mangekyō guarded by Yagami and Shisui. Even if Danzo managed to acquire one, he would have to return it eventually.
Out of frustration and fear, Danzo remained silent, hiding in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity.
"Damn Uchiha! They're always moving in groups now. Did they figure out what I'm planning? This must be that brat Uchiha Yagami's idea again…"
Though he couldn't act, Danzo continued to monitor the Uchiha clan's movements.
He learned that the Uchiha had withdrawn their members from around the Shimura grounds.
Furthermore, whenever the Uchiha acted, they moved in groups.
Danzo was immediately disheartened.
He had been waiting for an opportunity, but they had just cut off his approach…
**Ding! Congratulations to the Host for receiving negative feedback from Shimura Danzo, receiving 1,859 feedback points.**
Yagami, who was currently evaluating the latest creation from the family's food research and development team, raised his eyebrows. Again, it is disgusting, Danzo. Could it be due to the clan's coordinated movements?
As expected, this old dog is dead set on destroying Uchiha and won't take his eyes off us for even a day!
