I Support Danzo-sama to Immediately Annihilate the Akatsuki Organization!
"Who attacked you?"
Shimura Danzo wore an angry expression, waving his hand to have his subordinates search the area, but in reality, he was still hesitant, and his subordinates' actions were also to gather information.
Kotoamatsukami is strong and useful, but it's just a Dojutsu. Its original owner, Uchiha Shisui, had used it more than once on the battlefield, and even the enemies in the Hidden Mist Village knew this information.
For the older generation in the village, it was even less of a secret.
If he could easily control others without being discovered, why would he go through other means to become Hokage? He could just control them one by one.
Moreover, he could only control one person at a time, and among the other three Sand Ninja Village ninjas following this brat, there was also a Jinchuriki, so he couldn't silence them.
Whether it was Nara Shikaku, known for his intelligence, or Sarutobi Hiruzen, they would immediately expose him if they discovered anything strange. Controlling the village's genius and possessing Shisui's eyes were things that couldn't be exposed.
He needed to reveal such a precious trump card in a more suitable situation.
"It's the Akatsuki Organization." Lin Ke didn't even look at the Root members who were separating and searching in a perfunctory manner, maintaining a calm tone, "The enemy is Sasori of the Red Sand from the Sand Ninja Village."
"Akatsuki again?" Shimura Danzo snorted, "That organization is indeed a great threat, repeatedly targeting you. We should just eliminate them directly..."
He took the opportunity to sell his radical ideas amidst the shared hatred. As a politician, even if he himself felt that something was impossible, he would still bring it up.
From the perspective of the great powers, mercenary organizations like Akatsuki were useful toilets, where any filth and dirty things could be dumped, and they could be discarded at any time when they were no longer needed or when the toilet stank.
Even if everyone knew that there were many rogue ninjas in Akatsuki, hiding in the Rain Hidden Village, no one would take action to eliminate Akatsuki. Such mercenary organizations were naturally the best choice for things that many great powers were inconvenient to do.
Underground Money Exchanges were the same. They could exist because the great powers tacitly allowed them to exist.
Why was Shimura Danzo so famous? Even after being out of power for many years, the Fourth Raikage could still mention the name Shadow of Shinobi at the Five Kage Summit in the manga.
It was because he himself bore the responsibility of being Konoha Village's toilet.
Everyone uses a public toilet, and suddenly someone jumps out and volunteers to be a private toilet, how could that not leave a deep impression?
"Yes, I support Danzo-sama immediately leading people to the Land of Rain to eliminate the Akatsuki Organization." Lin Ke immediately echoed with a smile, "When Danzo-sama sets off, be sure to call me. I am willing to contribute money and effort."
As he said that, he signaled Kankuro to hurry up a bit, lest the spoils of war be taken by some shameless bastards.
These words directly choked Shimura Danzo. The brat in front of him was only ten years old, right? He looked so small, how could he be neither impulsive nor emotional, nor attracted by the pie in the sky painted on his lips?
"By the way, how was your mission?" He changed the subject.
He couldn't really go and eliminate Akatsuki, right? To suppress bandits, no, to suppress Akatsuki, he would have to become Hokage first, take the opportunity of suppressing Akatsuki to pull in a group of people, strike down a group of people, and then sacrifice a group of people for the village.
"Oh." Lin Ke said with a smile, "Our mission has been completed, but when we left the Capital of the Land of Rivers, it had just been attacked by the Akatsuki Organization."
Shimura Danzo's eyes changed, and he didn't entangle with this annoying brat anymore, leaving behind a few encouraging words and hurriedly leading his people away.
"Take care, Danzo-sama." Lin Ke waved his hand, watching the people disappear into the night, letting the vigilant shadows return to his feet, turning his head to look at his three subordinates, his face returning to its calm appearance, "Let's go."
Kankuro reluctantly handed a few scrolls to him, his expression as if he was handing over his wife.
Temari looked at the nonchalant Lin Ke, thinking about his smiling appearance just now, she really wanted to complain, but she didn't know where to start.
It's a pity, Yakushi Kabuto still managed to escape.
Lin Ke carried the large scroll that he had discarded aside at the start of the battle for the shadows to keep safe, feeling a little regretful.
In the battle with the Akatsuki Organization members, he really didn't have the energy to snatch Yakushi Kabuto. There was also Deidara watching covetously, and the shadows couldn't ascend into the air. If the sneak attack failed and the other party ascended into the air, there wouldn't be much he could do.
Flying is quite cheap sometimes.
The other experiments with Tailed Beast Chakra need to be put on the agenda, but I don't know if the Earth Dragon can withstand Tailed Beast Chakra...
Lin Ke pondered as he ran. With the shadows as a precedent, he had a little understanding of how to use Tailed Beast Chakra.
The most direct way was to let the Earth Dragon eat it, but there were many concerns.
If the Earth Dragon couldn't withstand the Tailed Beast Chakra, then it was very likely that it would be directly destroyed. He didn't know if the technique could create a second Earth Dragon consciousness, and if the Earth Dragon existed permanently, how much Tailed Beast Chakra would he need, how large would he make it, and where would he raise it? Temporarily creating it with a technique was very convenient. When he didn't need it, he could just release the technique, and the size was up to him. Permanently creating it required a lot of things to consider.
Most importantly, the Earth Dragon's intelligence level was much higher than the shadows. If it became a living thing, would it continue to be loyal to him? That was also a question that needed to be pondered.
...
Land of Rivers, Capital, the sky was just beginning to dawn.
"..."
Shimura Danzo stood in the ruins with a gloomy expression, looking at the few charred corpses in front of him, remaining silent for a long time.
The originally perfect plan had suddenly gone bankrupt. Some disobedient partners were dead, and the Daimyo's Son was also dead. No matter how disobedient they were, that was a matter for later. Being directly destroyed physically meant that the Land of Rivers was no longer a delicious treat that they could exclusively enjoy—
Rather, it is a battlefield for ninjas.
All the surrounding ninja villages can come to make money, but in comparison, the Land of Rivers under his control is definitely easier to use.
Although such a Land of Rivers can still provide a large number of missions before someone unifies it again, those would not be his political achievements. His plan from beginning to end was to control the Land of Rivers as a gift to the New Daimyo, in exchange for support, as the key to his succession as Hokage.
As for the rest, like retaliatory attacks on the Sand Ninja Village, forcing the Land of Wind to concede, or other radical remarks...
They were just rhetoric.
What politician says and does the same thing?
Now everything is over. The Land of Rivers will become a long-term source of various missions, and his plan to become Hokage has also turned into a bubble.
The more he thought about the accusations he would face from the New Daimyo, the more his anger surged.
"Akatsuki..." Shimura Danzo gritted his teeth and uttered the name of that organization.
He knew that Akatsuki Organization was just a knife, and the real culprit should be the person holding the knife, but he still couldn't help but feel the desire to destroy Akatsuki Organization.
