Danzo finds his veteran player, Sarutobi Hiruzen, furiously.
He is not a fool.
The information obtained by the Yamanaka clan showed that Uchiha Tangwu's specific strength and information appeared to be inconsistent.
Mist Shinobi Technique!
Earth Style Technique!
One-handed knot printing!
The weird Shadow Clone!
'The Uchiha clan is really ambitious. '
Danzo came to Sarutobi Hiruzen's house that night, thinking about how to speak later.
The two elite teams at the root were destroyed, and he must re-examine the strength of Uchiha Tangwu.
"Look at it, Hiruzen!"
As soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen came in, a piece of information was stuffed angrily in his hand.
He was a little surprised at the anger of his old teammates, lowered his head and turned over, his eyes changed suddenly, and he asked carefully: "What is this information?"
"It was all found in the minds of my damaged root members." Danzo said solemnly.
"Could it be a mistake..." Sarutobi Hiruzen groaned, "To be honest, a special Jōnin suddenly improved so much, I can hardly believe it."
Danzo sneered and said, "It's better to say that Uchiha is hidden deeply than that the strength has risen sharply. This is the intelligence combined with the fragments of the two teams. Do you know what he is doing?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.
"He is provoking!" Danzo snorted coldly: "Uchiha Tangwu can't help but know the methods of the Yamanaka clan, but he deliberately left his head to let us know that the murderer is him!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at his old friend and shook his head.
He didn't think it was a provocation.
As long as Uchiha Tangwu is not mad, he will not do the stupid thing of betraying Shinobu and challenging her former Ninja Village.
This will make Konoha go all out to hunt him down.
"I said from the beginning that the fire must have something to do with Uchiha Tangwu. His whereabouts have been abnormal in the past six months, and my men have reported to me." Danzo stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said in a low voice: "Trust me Hiruzen, Uchiha has never been trusted, nor can they trust us. The disaster of Nine Tails five years ago is a tragic example!"
"...Okay, go and hunt this Uchiha." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said.
Although he thinks Danzo is too extreme, he does not intend to stop Danzo.
The defectors cannot be forgiven, especially those of the Uchiha clan who are now abnormally active!
"Just in case, this one will not be notified in advance." Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while and said.
Danzo naturally knows who the purpose of not reporting is.
"Don't worry, I won't let Uchiha know." He nodded, got up and left.
The goal has been achieved.
Overnight.
Four root teams were dispatched.
This time it was a three-person team.
Two are led by the official Jōnin, and two are led by the special Jōnin.
The team members are experienced elite Chūnin with all aspects of exploration, combat, and defense.
"This time, the old man used a lot of manpower..."
Danzo watched the team set off, his eyes flickering.
Uchiha Tangwu is a mere mere Uchiha Tangwu, he naturally doesn't look at it. Although he hides his strength, it is only Kakashi's level in the final analysis, not to the point where it can't be solved.
The key is...
With this opportunity, he can send people out of the village in a fair manner.
All four teams have other secret missions.
...
"Attention, solve the target Uchiha Tangwu as soon as possible, and then perform the mission of Lord Danzo."
"Carpet detection, focusing on nearby towns and villages. It is impossible for him to be in the wild all the time. The target needs supplies."
"The Jiufeng team follows me in one direction, and the Orochi team follows you."
The captains of the four teams exchanged attitudes and set a battle plan.
Like their leader, Elder Danzo, they didn't care much about goals.
Uchiha Tangwu's life information is kept in their minds. In a sense, they know the target better than the target himself.
Although the target is hidden.
But you must know that as long as anything exists, there will be traces.
Uchiha Tangwu's resume is there, implying the upper limit of the goal.
Even the prestigious Seven-Blade Swordsmen will be left behind by their four teams in the form of cashing.
This is the confidence of root members.
...
puff.
Puff puff.
thump.
Blindfolded Tangwu frowned. To be honest, he was a little tired of the sound of beheading.
But I don't know why, Shadow Clone is keen to do this kind of thing.
"It's done, the third root squad." Shadow Clone walked up with a half-shoulder knife and stuck it on the ground casually, ""
The strong smell of blood pours into Tangwu's nose, and you don't need to look at it to know that there is a fragment of limbs behind.
Tangwu stood there in silence, thinking for a while.
"Okay, let's go," he said.
Shadow Clone took out a new ninja sword of trophy and inserted it in the back.
...
The broken pieces of information are passed back to Konoha through various channels.
Although leaving the village with a large number of hands at its roots is secret, it has never been a secret in the eyes and ears of the higher-ups.
"We need to know the truth." In the office, Utatane Koharu said to the gloomy Danzo and the silent Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Pieces of broken information stirred the nerves of their elders again and again.
This is not in the war years!
The age of peace has only just arrived for a few years, how can there be such a mission loss rate!
Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent.
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura looked at Danzo and asked together, "Explain Danzo."
"You and Hiruzen, what are you hiding from us?"
"What task did the root staff who left the village perform yesterday?"
"Confidential." Danzo Kaidō coldly.
Of course he knew that the loss was heavy. It was not just the hands of the roots who died, but also the Konoha Shinobi who performed tasks nearby. Those ninjas who were attracted by the battle also died under the hands of Uchiha Tangwu.
Each root squad only sent back information once, and that was when another squad was found dead.
Then, the situation of their squad appeared in the death information of other squads.
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura kept asking.
This is their right to know as elders, and it is also the basis for safeguarding the status of Sarutobi Hokage and restricting Danzo's power.
"Okay, it's up to me."
In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Danzo and I discovered that there was a problem with the forest fire four days ago. We sent people to investigate and found that the village ninja, Uchiha Tangwu."
It was nothing, but Uchiha's last name came out of Third Hokage's mouth.
The office immediately became quiet.
"We confirmed Uchiha Tangwu's defect from the memory of the fallen ninja, but..." Sarutobi Hiruzen dangling his pipe with Shen Tong and guilt in his eyes, and said solemnly: "We misestimated his strength."
"A total of six root teams, three Konoha execution ninja teams, and six Jōnin, all lost in the hands of Uchiha Tangwu."
"His strength is not special Jōnin, nor Jōnin, but... Kage-level!"
