Konoha, in an underground Root base.
Itachi knelt on one knee in front of Shimura Danzo and whispered: "The mission is completed, there was just a little accident."
Shimura Danzo's one eye stared at Itachi coldly and said: "Accident? What accident? Why did it happen?"
Itachi whispered: "Uchiha Funan will appear in the Death Forest tomorrow night, but I can't go there."
The original plan was for Itachi to attack Funan first and then Danzo's men would surround him. If possible, Itachi will kill Funan alone to prove that he did not betray Konoha.
To Itachi, this order seemed ridiculous. Would killing Funan be proof of loyalty to Konoha? Had Funan betrayed Konoha? Where is the Will of Fire that you talk about?
"Tell me why." Danzo's voice was low, and he looked at Itachi indifferently with one eye.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Itachi could even feel the cold murderous intent coming from the air around him.
"Probably because Shisui and I are ANBU members, he distrusts us a lot and has now started sending people to ."
Danzo frowned slightly.
Shisui and Itachi are members of the ANBU and take orders directly from the Hokage. Therefore, they are hated by many hawks in Uchiha. Funan is the grandson of Uchiha Setsuna and the heir to the Hawk Faction. Now that he is in power, it seems natural to target Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi.
However, Danzo was still worried.
The ambush on Funan wouldn't fail just because one Uchiha Itachi is missing. This was nothing, but Danzo, who was suspicious by nature, was worried that they were plotting against him.
"Itachi, tell me, why does Funan go to the Death Forest? How strong is he? What is his pupil technique?"
Itachi said: "No one knows about Funan's pupil techniques except himself, not even Uchiha Setsuna. I am very sure of this. He is such a careful person."
"As for the forest of death..."
When Itachi said this, his expression suddenly became strange.
Danzo noticed something keenly and shouted: "Speak!"
After a slight silence, Itachi said: "I personally think it is probably related to Ino-Shika-Cho!"
Danzo's hand holding the cane tightened tightly: "Keep talking!"
Ino-Shika-Cho? Why is it Ino-Shika-Cho? What does Uchiha Funan want to do? Or is Uchiha Itachi up to something?
"Uchiha Funan discovered a kind of herbal medicine in the Death Forest, which seems to be very precious. Therefore, in recent years, he has often sneaked into the Death Forest secretly and seems to be cultivating it in large quantities."
Danzo nodded slightly. He already knew that the Uchihas had been entering the Forest of Death. Uchiha's spies also sent this matter to the hands of Konoha's senior officials.
However, they always thought that Funan was going to practice. After all, the Death Forest is Konoha's training ground. Many powerful shinobis will go there to practice. This is not a rare thing. They also sent people to follow Funan but found nothing. Over time, they put the matter aside. Now, from Itachi's mouth, I actually got such an answer.
"Herbs? What kind of herbs?"
Danzo asked, but his mind instantly thought of the Nara clan, leader of Ino-Shika-Cho.
The Ino-Shika-Cho clans are considered some of the strongest clans in Konoha. What's even more terrifying is their union. Together, they do not fear even the most powerful clans in Konoha.
In addition, the leader of the Nara clan serves as the Jonin squad leader in Konoha.
After two generations of Senju, the position of Hokage was passed to the hands of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and then to the hands of Namikaze Minato. However, Konoha's Jonin squad leader has always been a member of the Nara clan.
Konoha Military Advisor, the most powerful brain in the ninja world!
From this point of view, we can imagine the status of the Nara clan in Konoha.
The Nara clan is good at raising deer, and deer antlers are one of the main materials for making Military Rations Pills. Therefore, the main business of the Nara clan was these types of pills, which provided a large amount every year for the village.
They even developed several secret medicines. The Nara clan is also a clan that is good at using medicine.
Funan discovered excellent medicinal herbs, and it was even possible to plant them on a large scale. He is planning to cooperate with the Nara clan? Or, the two parties have already cooperated!
Danzo's breathing could not help but become rapid, and his gaze became ferocious.
Damn it! How is this possible!
The Nara clan is so important. The Nara Clan is too crucial, they are the brains of the Ino-Shika-Cho, leading the three clans.
The Nara clan also has considerable prestige in Konoha.
These three clans were originally the core supporters of the Hokage. Once there was a problem, they even went to the Uchiha faction, plus the Hyuga clan...
Well, that's not right!
Danzo quickly calmed down.
The people of the Nara clan are all smart people, and they are also loyal to the Hokage, so they are not easily won over by the Uchihas. But who can say for sure?
Danzo became restless when he thought that Funan might come into contact with the Nara clan.
If it were other Uchiha, Danzo wouldn't be so worried. But it turned out to be Funan, that Funan who has caused him so many problems.
Yesterday, he also lost several elites in Funan's hands.
He came into contact with the Nara clan, and the possibility of changes in the Nara clan was too great.
Looking at Danzo who was obviously anxious, Itachi felt a faint sense of pleasure in his heart.
Scared, Danzo? Aren't you the Darkness of the Shinobi? You're afraid of Funan now, right?
It's okay to be afraid. If I told you that every move you make now is planned by Funan-ani, you would probably collapse!
"No, we can't go on !"
Danzo gritted his teeth and looked ferocious.
Funan, this Uchiha is too dangerous and must be dealt with as soon as possible! If he kills him, the matter with the Hyuga will be resolved, and everything will return to normal.
Then, deal with Uchiha slowly.
This time, we must not follow Hiruzen's wishes. The Uchiha clan should not exist. They should be completely destroyed!
Danzo's voice sounded. Although he was still indifferent, Itachi heard something different.
"Tell me the power of Uchiha Funan!"
"Yes!" Itachi said without hesitation: "Funan is the strongest person I have ever seen, the absolute strongest person. Even Uchiha Fugaku is far behind him."
Danzo frowned slightly and said: "Uchiha Fugaku has awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan!"
"Even so! He is still no match for Uchiha Funan." Itachi's words were extremely certain: "I can't see through him. I only know that he is very powerful, but I can't see his limit."
Really bad answer! Danzo's mood became more and more impatient.
"Withdraw, don't arouse his suspicions about you."
Itachi used the Body Flicker Technique and left here.
