Heart of Steel Half-Morph Sword Saint, Madara is willing to call me the strongest

An hour later, Uchiha Yi left Orochimaru's experimental base.

Uchiha Yi returned home holding his bandaged right hand.

On his right hand, a whole piece of muscle tissue was scraped off, and the bleeding had stopped under Orochimaru's medical bandage.

"Fuck, it hurts!"

As soon as he returned home, Uchiha Yi immediately entered a state of meditation to recover from his injuries.

Orochimaru has coveted the secrets of his body for a long time, but in Uchiha Yi's opinion, even if he was given the cell tissue to study, he would not be able to produce any results.

After all, what he relied on was not any special physique, but the system in his mind.

"Then, in a week, I will officially begin practicing the immortal arts."

The purpose of this trip was achieved and Uchiha Yi was in a good mood.

As long as he could master the fairy technique, he could make up for his shortcomings in ninjutsu and avoid the disadvantage of having to rely only on physical skills for close combat.

Although sword-wielding can be considered a long-range attack, it is limited in control distance, and the attack range is too small to be easily avoided.

When true masters compete with each other, large-scale ninjutsu attacks are still the main means.

The battle between Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha was the ultimate ninjutsu bombardment.

Uchiha Yi has already planned to buy an item that will replenish mana and increase magic power as his next piece of equipment. Combined with the Sage Mode, he will be able to carry out unstoppable ninjutsu bombing.

……

The Uchiha family's back mountain training ground.

Uchiha Yi was practicing the Eight Gates Ninjutsu. He was wearing weights and doing push-ups quickly.

"Six hundred and eighty-one, six hundred and eighty-two..."

"Nine hundred and ninety-six, nine hundred and ninety-seven..."

"one thousand!"

After completing today's training task, Uchiha Yi stood up and wiped the sweat off his body.

"who is it?"

He suddenly noticed a slight movement coming from behind him and frowned slightly.

"Uchiha Yi, don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions."

Slowly walking out of the shadows was a tall man wearing an animal mask.

"you are?"

"I am a ninja from the Root, codenamed 'O'"

"Root...Did Danzo ask you to come?"

"Yes, Lord Danzo invites you to come and meet him."

"Danzo wants to see me?"

There was doubt in Uchiha Yi's tone.

He rubbed his shoulders, lowered his head and slowly straightened his sleeves, then looked at the Root Ninja and said calmly: "You lead the way."

"Yes, please come with me."

The two of them disappeared into the woods, one in front and one behind.

……

Outside Konoha Village, in a dark underground base.

Uchiha Yi walked calmly in the dim passage. The structure here was very rough and was completely incomparable to Orochimaru's secret base.

Even the ground beneath your feet is uneven, like a naturally formed dark cave.

After walking for dozens of meters, a ray of light finally appeared in front.

Danzo Shimura stood there, watching Uchiha Yi coming, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Humph, you are quite courageous. You just come here directly."

Danzo maintained his usual indifferent expression, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"It was Lord Danzo who wanted to see me, why wouldn't I dare to come? Is there something you feel guilty about?"

Uchiha Yi looked at Danzo and asked coldly.

"you!"

Danzo was choked so much that his old face became increasingly gloomy, as if covered with a layer of frost.

"Hey, don't look at me like that. I haven't done anything to offend you, so don't look so grim, as if I killed your whole family."

Uchiha Yi didn't give Danzo any face at all and spoke directly and coldly.

With his current strength, he would not be afraid at all even if Danzo really wanted to take action.

However, Danzo should not have lost his mind yet.

At present, Uchiha Yi is the village's war hero and has the support of many forces. Not to mention Danzo, even Sarutobi Hiruzen has to give him enough respect.

"It seems that you are no longer going to hide. How dare you speak to me like this!"

Danzo's face looked extremely ugly. This was the first time that a young junior dared to speak to him like this.

This guy Uchiha Yi has indeed lost control.

Hiruzen, you'll regret it later.

I've said long ago that this guy should be handed over to me.

Damn it...it's too late now.

Uchiha Yi’s current strength is beyond the control of the village.

Neither he nor Hiruzen had any way to order Uchiha Yi to do anything.

Any ninja who possesses power at the level of Kage or even beyond Kage will find it difficult to be restricted by the village.

Not everyone is as easy to control as Hatake Sakumo.

"Uchiha Yi, why did you go to see Orochimaru the day before yesterday?"

Danzo's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip from it.

According to his original plan, he wanted to win over Orochimaru to deal with Uchiha Yi together and prevent Namikaze Minato from becoming the Hokage.

However, yesterday Orochimaru actually rejected the plan to deal with Uchiha Yi, and even treated Uchiha Yi as an ally.

This directly disrupted all of Danzo's subsequent plans.

Damn, what benefits did this guy Uchiha Yi give to Orochimaru?

Danzo stared at Uchiha Yi with anger in his eyes.

"What's the relationship between me and Orochimaru? It's none of your business, right?"

"I am the village's senior advisor, and you are just a ninja of the village. Do you want to deny the village's system?!"

"I am a jonin directly under the Hokage. The elder advisory council has no control over me."

Uchiha Yi sneered and added: "Remember, Sarutobi Hiruzen is the Hokage!"

"You and I……"

The last sentence made Danzo frown, blood rushed to his face, and the blue veins on his forehead bulged.

"My teacher, Hatake Sakumo's suicide was caused by you, right?"

Uchiha Yi simply stopped pretending and asked directly.

When Danzo heard the words "Hatake Sakumo", the anger in his eyes gradually dissipated and his face calmed down.

After a long silence, Danzo's expression was extremely cold, and he said to Uchiha Yi in a deep voice: "Hatake Sakumo committed suicide, I don't have the ability to kill him."

"You are the one who spread the rumors. Don't say you didn't know."

"Humph, what do you know? Everything I did was for the village. Who knew that a coward like Hatake Sakumo would choose to commit suicide? Haha, it's ridiculous."

At the mention of Hatake Sakumo's name, Danzo felt irritated.

It was indeed he who arranged for the Root to spread those rumors.

And Hiruzen acquiesced to his actions, and the Anbu did not stop him.

Because Hatake Sakumo has affected the inheritance of the next Hokage, his reputation must be suppressed.

In Danzo's plan, he just wanted to lower Hatake Sakumo's reputation.

Afterwards, Hatake Sakumo was still the leader of the Konohagakure ninjas, the famous Konoha White Fang in the ninja world, but he never had the chance to become Hokage again.

But who could have thought that Hatake Sakumo would choose to commit suicide!

They are just some rumors, why would anyone choose to commit suicide?

What a ridiculous guy, he is totally unworthy of the title of ninja.

"You think Sakumo-sensei's suicide is funny?"

Uchiha Yi's eyes flashed with anger, and he said in a deep voice: "The so-called will of fire, even you Konoha's high-ranking officials don't believe it, but Mr. Sakumo regards it as a belief. Don't you feel ashamed?"

The most important reason why Hatake Sakumo committed suicide was that the will of fire, which he regarded as a belief, collapsed, causing him to doubt the village and his mood fell to the lowest point.

It is precisely because we once believed that we feel despair about reality.

Danzo sensed the anger hidden in Uchiha Yi's tone, and after a moment of hesitation, he said coldly: "Why, do you want to avenge Hatake Sakumo?"

"Right on my mind!"

next moment.

A sword whistled with a "clang" sound, and a silver light flashed by.
