Dealing With The Aftermath (Part Two)

Arriving at the clan land, Danzo noticed the heavy smell of blood. Silence filled the entire land and only empty houses could be seen.

Danzo was stunned for a long time, before reluctantly regaining his composure.

Anger filled his chest, although he does not care much about his clan, he is angry that someone actually dared to eradicate his clan.

Normally it is Danzo himself with this Root, who exterminates other families and clans.

He never imagined that his clan would actually experience something like this.

Danzo has never felt so provoked before in his life, there is actually someone in the ninja world, who does not take himself seriously at all.

This is unacceptable for someone as authoritative as Danzo. He prides himself as the Darkness of Konoha and the future Hokage, someone who will eventually lead Konoha to prosperity and world hegemony.

Danzo always has inexplicably high confidence in himself. After digging out Hashirama Senju's grave and letting Orochimaru study his cells, he injected the Hashirma-cells into himself and combined them with a large number of Sharingan to suppress the tyrannical corrosive effect that Hashirama-cells have on ordinary human cells.

After doing that Danzo thought the strength gap between himself and the first Hokage is not that large anymore, making him the strongest person in the ninja world. He even wanted to be the leader of the ninja alliance in the 4th ninja world war, completely not understanding that both the 4th Raikage Ai and Onooki can obliterate his existence without much pressure.

Koharu Utatane also saw the situation on the clan-land and was dazed. Then strong anxiety filled her chest.

'If, If the root ninja did not lie about Danzos clan, doesn't that mean...? No way, I have to check it fast!'

Immediately disappearing into the direction of her clan land Koharu just hoped her clan is okay.

Different from Danzo, whose main force is the Root, Koharu Utatane cherishes her own clan.

After sitting on the Konoha elder position for many years, although the battle force of the Utatane clan is very small the wealth it has can almost catch up with large-scale Konoha clans with rich histories like the Nara or the Yamanaka clan.

As an elder responsible for the administrative work of Konoha, she has embezzled a lot of Konoha's funds over the years, using it to develop the industry of her own clan.

Right then Koharu arrived at the Utatane clan land and sure enough, a familiar scene appeared in her vision.

Empty buildings, heavy silence, and the fresh scent of blood.

Koharu's pupils shrank and she almost fainted. Her facial expressions kept changing and her heart was in deep disbelief.

After a moment, she could not bear it any longer and started screaming hysterically:

"IMPOSSIBLE! THIS CAN'T BE TRUE?! EVERYTHING I WORKED FOR ALL THESE YEARS, EVERYTHING IS GONE? I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

NO, WAIT, IT'S NOT OVER YET. YES, HIRUZEN HE WILL COMPENSATE ME FOR EVERYTHING. KONOHA HAS A LOT OF FUNDS, IT'S NOT A PROBLEM AT ALL!"

With a crazy expression on her face, she did not want to stay here for a second longer and immediately went to find Sarutobi Hiruzen.

- meanwhile on Danzos side -

The area within one hundred meters of Danzo is filled with huge potholes. Destroyed tree pieces were everywhere and even the mutilated corpses of two Root members could be seen.

Danzo who was extremely furious at the moment was unscrupulous unleashing wind-style ninjutsu to vent his anger, his subordinates were kneeling on the ground trembling in fear.

They have never seen Danzo so angry, even on days, he is in a good mood he may wantonly kill them on a whim. Not to mention in his current situation, all Root members were deeply afraid of losing their lives.

"FIND OUT WHO DID THIS, I SWEAR IN THE NAME OF KONOHA, IF I DON'T TORTURE HIM AND PERSONALLY EAT HIS CORPSE, I WILL NEVER COMPETE FOR HOKAGE AGAIN."

This is already the most vicious oath Danzo can think of, for him becoming Hokage is his deepest obsession and desire. Swearing on this shows how furious Danzo was at the moment.

His subordinates understand this well and secretly made up their minds if they can't find the culprit, they will just kill themselves. Even if they are deeply brainwashed and hardcore loyal to Danzo, they still don't want to experience the horrible consequences, that will happen if they fail to complete this mission.

It's better for them just to commit suicide instead.

Thinking of this they did not dare to hesitate any longer and used instantaneous techniques to leave.

Danzo was standing on the clan land breathing heavily, trying hard to regain his rationality, he starts thinking:

'Who the hell could do this? It's obvious that the attack happened not long ago, should be at the same time as the explosions. So who could it be? The culprit of the Nine-tails attack, the clown who wears a mask all day, calling himself Uchiha Madara. Or someone else?'

Thinking of the guy who calls himself Uchiha Madara, Danzo's expression was filled with ridicule.

As a high level of Konoha, Danzo has a lot more information about Madara, than the outside world.

Uchiha Madara is an incredibly powerful and proud man, not to mention that the masked man's strength is not nearly enough, Madara would never hide his face with a mask and engage in this kind of conspiracy.

Nine-tails was just a pet in front of him, something he can play with at will. Madara disdains using tricks and has always crushed every problem with his strength in an upright way.

Danzo who knows this very well does not take the masked man seriously and regards him as an abandoned Uchiha clan member, who wants revenge on the world. But even Danzo has to admit that the Mangekyo ability of the masked man is incredibly powerful and practical.

A Mangekyo Sharingan with space abilities, Danzos eyes are full of greed thinking about them.

'After this is over I have to focus on the extermination of the Uchiha family again, such power should never be in the hands of the evil Uchiha.'
