Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

Shimura Danzo can be said to be the number one character on Aoba's must-kill list, but this guy is really hard to kill.

Aoba's current head-on combat capability can easily defeat Danzo.

But the problem is that Danzo is not a lone wolf like Hidan, he is the leader of the Root of Konoha. Not to mention the large group of subordinates under him, under normal circumstances, it is difficult for Aoba to grasp his whereabouts.

Even if they knew the opponent's whereabouts, it would take a lot of time to kill him head-on, and Konoha couldn't just watch Danzo get killed. By then, the entire Konoha would be fighting.

Even with all the above issues resolved, Aoba found an opportunity to have a one-on-one fight with Danzo.

This guy is impossible to kill.

Others may not know, but Qingye knows. On this guy's bandaged right hand, there are ten three-magatama Sharingan.

Danzo knew Izanagi. Ten three-magatama Sharingan meant ten chances of resurrection. And that's not all.

Izanagi can last for a period of time. Strictly speaking, it should give Danzo about 30 minutes of invincibility.

What's more, the opponent also has the Mangekyo in his right eye. The Mangekyo in Shisui's eye, and the Kotoamatsukami contained in it, are means that Aoba cannot deal with at present.

Therefore, conventional means are temporarily impossible to deal with Danzo.

Fortunately, Aoba had started preparing to deal with Danzo a long time ago. When he first traded with Orochimaru, he got Danzo's blood, just to use it at this time.

And now, with Hidan in hand, we can start thinking about killing Danzo.

With Hidan in hand, killing Danzo is no longer a problem. But Aoba wants more. First he needs to get the Mangekyō in Danzo's eyes. Kotoamatsukami, this thing is really useful.

In addition, he also wanted the ten three-magatama Sharingan on the opponent's arm. If this was the case, he needed to solve some minor problems before taking action.

Originally, Aoba planned to take it slow, but the other party had already set their sights on Karin. Naturally, Aoba would not wait any longer.

After rebuilding the half-finished underground laboratory, Aoba took out Hidan's head and placed it on the table.

Then he pulled out the kunai from his head, allowing Hidan to speak.

"You bastard, let me go immediately, Lord Evil God..."

As soon as Feiduan's mouth was free, he started to attack crazily.

"......" Aoba didn't say anything, just stared at him quietly. Until Feidan felt uncomfortable all over... and in his head.

"Are you done? If you are, answer me a few questions."

"Asshole, who do you think you are, I..."

The irritable Hidan complained again. Aoba still watched his performance in silence. It was not until Hidan's mouth was dry and he was out of breath that he spoke again.

"Are you finished?"

"...What on earth do you want to do, you guy?"

"Looks like it's about done. In that case, let's get started. Hidan, I want to make a deal with you. Use your power to help me kill someone. Once you succeed, you will be free. What do you think?"

"Killing people is no problem at all. Just tell me who to kill and I will kill him right away."

"Haha. I told you, Hidan, what I need is your ability, the ability called Death by Blood."

After the secret in his heart was revealed, Feidan was silent for a while. Although he was crazy, he was not stupid. The other party obviously knew his biggest trump card. And he was also controlled by others. This meant that he had little chance of turning the tables.

"Who are you going to kill?"

"You don't need to know who he is. You just need to know that I have his blood. But we still have a few small problems to solve."

About half an hour later, Qingye walked out of the laboratory.

If you want to kill Danzo and keep those Sharingan, you need to determine one thing first. That is, whether the Izanagi on Danzo is actively used or automatically released after encountering a fatal attack.

This is not clearly described in the original plot, but Qingye must be fully prepared.

In the original story, all ten Sharingan were wasted by Danzo. It was really a waste of resources.

Since there is no certainty, then everything must be considered according to the worst-case scenario. Qingye refers to both options.

That is, Danzo can not only initiate the attack actively, but also passively initiate it after encountering a fatal attack. This is in line with Danzo's cautious and fearful character.

And if that's the case, Feiduan's Death Blood Skill cannot be used casually.

Aoba needs to find a way to limit the opponent's use of Izanagi in advance.

If it was a real Uchiha clan, this would probably be difficult to do. But Danzo forcibly transplanted the Sharingan to suppress the cells of Hashirama in his right hand. The ten eyeballs were only used as resurrection coins. So, it is not impossible to do this.

At this time, Orochimaru delivered the crucial main attack, and Aoba got the one-to-three magatama Sharingan he wanted.

Aoba wanted the Sharingan originally to prepare for transplanting Shisui's Mangekyō into himself. But now, it was just the right time. He could use this pair of Sharingan to conduct targeted research.

It is unknown what kind of bargaining chips Orochimaru paid to get this pair of three magatama from Danzo.

According to Aoba's inference, Danzo might not have many spare Sharingans left.

The main thing is that the people who attacked the Sharingan that night should have been Danzo's Root, Obito, and Uchiha Itachi.

Among them, Obito probably got the most, followed by the root. It's unknown whether Uchiha Itachi took action. But Aoba estimated that the Sharingan of several key figures of Uchiha might be in his hands.

Danzo's experiment must have consumed a lot of them. It's not bad to have one pair left.

Although the Sharingan was not damaged, it was obviously not in good condition. It was probably left over from the experiment. The loss of pupil power was quite large.

Fortunately, Qingye didn't want to replace his eyes, he just used them for experiments.

Assuming that Danzo's resurrection coins are passively used after receiving fatal damage, then Aoba needs to seal these resurrection coins before the killing move.

He had communicated with Feidan. Feidan said that once the blood ritual of the death master was completed, all the negative effects on him would be fed back to the recipient.

Therefore, what Qingye had to do was to use the sealing technique after the death of the priest was completed, completely seal the activity of Danzo's right arm and right eye, and then kill the opponent instantly without giving him any chance to react.

There are many similar sealing techniques, but in order to achieve the kind of efficient results that Qingye needs, some modifications are still needed.

At the same time, Flying Thunder God, Wind Style Rasengan, and Sealing Technique all needed to be practiced. Aoba was busy again.
