Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

Returning to Root, Danzo couldn't help but fly into a rage. He just couldn't understand why his old friend still held hope for the Uchiha.

Of course, he also knew that this might not be hope, but because the appearance of one person had changed everything.

“Shigen Hideki…”

Danzo murmured. Hideki was his man, his man!

Sarutobi Hiruzen, that damned fellow, wanted to steal his peaches. How could he endure this?

“The teacher’s will must be carried out. Konoha must be a stable Konoha. We cannot compromise just because they were once comrades!”

Danzo clenched his fist. He didn't like Hiruzen Sarutobi's decisions at all.

But that was all in the past. People must look forward. Now that they were already estranged and Uchiha Itachi, the greatest threat, was gone.

He just didn't understand why they couldn't create a more stable Konoha. Besides, the current Uchiha couldn't produce powerhouses like Madara and Kagami anymore!

“Danzo-sama.”

Just then, Aburame Ryoma's figure appeared behind him. Kneeling on one knee, Aburame Ryoma said softly.

“Uchiha Itachi has suddenly arrived. He wants to see you, sir.”

“Uchiha Itachi?”

Danzo snorted coldly when he heard this. He had no goodwill towards anyone from the Uchiha clan. These people were just a bunch of rebels!

But after pondering for a moment, he forcibly suppressed his anger and said.

“Let's go, go see him. See what tricks he wants to play!”

“Yes, Danzo-sama.”

Aburame Ryoma immediately got up. He respectfully led the expressionless Danzo towards the outside.

Before long, the two of them had arrived at the Root's courtyard. Uchiha Itachi was standing there, surrounded by countless Root ninjas with swords.

Perhaps the Anbu had left too deep an impression on Root, so the Root members were also very hostile towards the Anbu.

“Uchiha brat, I heard you want to see me?”

Danzo spoke directly, looking at Uchiha Itachi with a cold face. Uchiha Itachi also raised his head at this moment, his scarlet eyes not fearing Danzo's gaze.

“Yes, Danzo-sama, I am here to tell you something. I will handle the Uchiha clan's rebellion!”

“Oh?”

Danzo was stunned for a moment. He didn't mind Uchiha Itachi's impoliteness, but instead revealed a strange expression, a sneer appearing on his face.

“You handle it? How are you going to handle it? What qualifications do you have? What ability do you have to handle it?”

“You don’t need to worry about that.”

Facing Danzo's three soul-searching questions, Uchiha Itachi remained indifferent.

“In short, the result will satisfy you. After all, I will do it cleaner than you did when you attacked Shisui.”

The atmosphere in the room froze, and Danzo's gaze suddenly focused.

A stern chakra circulated within his body, his eyes staring fixedly at Uchiha Itachi.

“You better think carefully before you speak. What exactly did you say!”

“I know very well what I am saying, but that is not the point.”

Uchiha Itachi didn't care about Danzo's killing intent, he still stared at Danzo.

“Whether Shisui attacked you or you attacked Shisui, all of that is in the past. I am here only for a transaction.”

“Transaction?”

Danzo raised an eyebrow, but his killing intent didn't diminish in the slightest.

“Although I want to say that you are not qualified to trade with me at all, I might as well listen to what you want to do.”

“I will help you completely solve the Uchiha problem, on the condition that Uchiha Sasuke must live.”

Uchiha Itachi took a deep breath, finally uttering his thoughts coldly.

Everyone else can die, but Sasuke is innocent!

“Uchiha Sasuke, that brat?”

Danzo was a little surprised, not expecting to get such a result.

What surprised him even more was that it seemed that an Uchiha could help him fulfill his long-cherished wish?

This guy, how ruthless is he...

“What if I don’t agree?”

Although he already had an idea in his heart, he still habitually asked this question.

“Even without you, I can still achieve my goal!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed a change in Uchiha Itachi's pupils!

Those three tomoe had unknowingly turned into a shuriken pattern, eerie and ghostly, giving one a feeling of dizziness with just one glance.

In an instant, he understood what this was!

This brat, he has awakened his eyes too?

“I will say it again, I will help you completely solve the Uchiha, on the condition that Uchiha Sasuke must live.”

Uchiha Itachi repeated coldly, his eyes staring at Danzo without a trace of emotion.

“Besides that, I will enter the Akatsuki organization and investigate their intelligence as much as possible.

For the sake of Konoha, I can make sacrifices, but my only request is this!

Danzo-sama, Shigen Hideki is not by your side right now, is he?”

After saying this, Uchiha Itachi didn't say anything more, but stared fixedly at Danzo.

Danzo looked at Uchiha Itachi in silence, his face a little unsightly, but after a moment, he nodded.

“Uchiha Sasuke will live, I can guarantee it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Itachi turned around and walked towards the outside.

Looking at the brat's back, Danzo's face was still not very good-looking. He was threatened by an Uchiha?

If he hadn't already experienced the power of the Mangekyo, and he didn't want to waste Izanagi, he would have captured this brat tonight!

“Mangekyo Sharingan…”

“But just like what the teacher said, they really are lunatics!”

“The time has been set. We will take action in a week.”

In a small town outside Konoha, Obito, once again disguised as Madara Uchiha, addressed the Akatsuki members.

However, seeing their lack of enthusiasm, he couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Too few people within Akatsuki completely listened to him, mainly because he had recruited almost none of them himself.

Besides that, as the wanted poster for 'Uchiha Obito' covered an increasingly wider area, his situation was becoming more and more speculated upon.

He knew that although these guys in Akatsuki didn't say anything, they were probably already thinking in that direction.

Therefore, he simply decided to completely give up; as long as he didn't admit it, nothing else mattered.

After all, Madara Uchiha was famous throughout the ninja world, while Uchiha Obito was just an unknown nobody.

“This operation won't be easy, especially since it's inside Konoha, but I can guarantee to bring all of you out.”

“Bring all of us out, that's not a boast that ordinary people can make.”

Orochimaru licked his lips, looking at Obito with a playful expression, and after a moment, he nodded.

“Whatever, it's been a long time since I've been back to Konoha, it wouldn't be a bad thing to go back and take a look.”

“Since we're already here, we will naturally cooperate.”

Pain spoke indifferently, Konan and Kakuzu nodded, while Sasori and Juzo Biwa stood aside expressionlessly, clearly not caring.

Anyway, it was just a mission, and they didn't mind doing it.

“However, can you explain the specific operations more clearly? I don't want to encounter any more trouble, especially since this is Konoha.”

“I know, but this time we will most likely encounter Shizawa Shigen.”

Obito was a little depressed; he didn't understand why everyone was talking about Shizawa Shigen, as if coming to Konoha meant they were destined for misfortune.

Back then, he came to Konoha alone, personally started the Nine-Tailed Fox incident, personally sent off the Fourth Hokage couple, and almost plunged the entire Konoha into chaos, truly taking full advantage.

That vibrant and competitive atmosphere was still vivid in his mind.

How could it be that after only a few short years, this place seemed to have almost become his burial ground?

In any case, although this mission was characterized by numerical disadvantage, their advantage lay in being in the dark, so they could win.

Right?

“However, the Uchiha themselves will also do something; they will attract most of Konoha's ninjas and Anbu, which is beneficial to us.”

Although Obito felt a little uneasy, he still maintained his confidence.

“We will first help those wandering ninjas and bounty hunters, and after attracting Konoha's people, I will lead you directly into the Uchiha compound.

The rest, naturally, will be a display of our abilities. Don't have any worries; we have people assisting us on the Uchiha side.

Konoha is destined to fall into a dilemma; either they come to deal with us, but that will protect the Uchiha.

Or they ignore the Uchiha and deal with the wandering ninjas and bounty hunters outside the village, as well as the rebellions in the village's prisons.

But that will make the other families in Konoha remember that Konoha is unwilling to help, and at most only Shizawa Shigen will come.

This time, we have a great advantage, we can win!”

Obito would not help for nothing; under Black Zetsu's reminder, he had already decided to calculate Itachi Uchiha ruthlessly.

Treat him as a free laborer?

No way, what Obito wanted to do was to bind Itachi Uchiha to death, so that this guy would forever wear the 'Akatsuki member' coat.

So that this guy can only follow him forever and never be able to turn over!

“The Uchiha's plan? It seems this time will be a bit interesting.”

Sasori nodded upon hearing this, he didn't have even a trace of goodwill towards Konoha.

“Perhaps, this time we can make a bigger commotion; I will feel very good seeing Konoha suffer.”

“Hmph, whatever.”

Juzo Biwa snorted coldly and stopped talking, because strictly speaking, his mood was the most complicated.

The Fourth Mizukage was being controlled, and Kirigakure became someone else's plaything. He chose to defect because he was dissatisfied with Kirigakure's tyranny and was persecuted.

But now looking back, he always felt that he had been set up, but he had no chance to turn back.

“Understood, we will work harder this time, at least we must make Konoha lose a piece of meat!”

Konan snorted coldly and spoke, while Pain, controlled by Nagato, simply nodded.

Only Kakuzu shrugged indifferently; he was very excited at this time, after all, this would be a lot of money!

What he was considering at this time was how to tell Shizawa about this, but what he didn't know was that Nagato and Konan had the same idea as him at this time.

“How is the preparation going?”

In an abandoned underground laboratory, Shizawa looked at Kabuto and Shisui and asked in a low voice.

“The deployment is almost complete, but there are also some problems here.”

Kabuto adjusted his glasses. During this period, he and Shisui studied the situation within the Uchiha clan together, and he had almost figured out all the arrangements of this clan.

But it was precisely because he was familiar with it that he felt a little troublesome, because the Uchiha clan's occupied area was really a bit too large.

The difficulty of evacuating so many people from inside was really not ordinary.

“Shizawa, what is your estimate of the damage to the Uchiha this time? Only by clarifying these things can we better arrange things.”

“Expectation?”

Shizawa sat down, looking at Kabuto and Shisui's curious eyes, especially Shisui's curiosity mixed with urgency, he thought for a while before speaking.
