Chapter 015
At that moment, Danzo entered the office without announcing himself.
"Hiruzen, I have information from Yukigakure. The intensity of the guard has decreased significantly, a sign that the personnel is out of the village. It's the perfect time to take control of the village." Danzo didn't even bother to show his respects as he began to rant his ideas.
Hiruzen had to take more than three deep breaths to refrain from lashing out at Danzo for his insolence.
However, for the sake of both of them, he held back.
"And what do you want to do?" Hiruzen wanted to know his friend's thoughts.
"Don't play dumb! You know that Yu no Kuni is an affiliated country to the Land of Fire. If I haven't notified the Daimyo of their insolence, it's because you assured me that when the time was right, we would take the village and appropriate their businesses. This is that moment." Danzo shook his only hand with fury.
He didn't like how calmly Hiruzen always took things.
Hiruzen weighed the pros and cons for a moment before saying, "This is an operation that you will lead. I will give you 10 ANBU squads, along with your ROOT team, it's enough to deal with that troublesome woman."
"Remember, if you fail, you will have nothing to do with Konoha. It's your total responsibility."
Upon hearing Hiruzen's words, Danzo's uncovered eye regained its shine. At the same time, he let out a murderous intent.
"Don't worry, with me it's enough to deal with that woman, I don't need your intervention."
Danzo walked away with these arrogant words.
He had complete confidence in the implanted Sharingan and his most powerful Sharingan.
He even had a plan in place. To avoid casualties, he planned to implant the most powerful Genjutsu, "Kotoamatsukami," in the leader of Yukigakure. That way, he could have more influence over the politics, especially with the nobles who visited that beautiful thermal village every day.
In other words, he would be a covert leader.
'Hahaha, Hiruzen, you really are becoming old and senile.' Danzo sang in his mind before leaving.
Hiruzen was left alone in his office.
Accompanied only by two ANBU squads in the darkness.
He took one last puff of his pipe before returning to reports and paperwork.
"Ah! Danzo, I hope you don't hit an iron wall." He sang in his mind.
If there's a reason why he hasn't invaded that village, it's because he's always had a bad feeling about their leader.
Hiruzen is a wise man.
Brazen and hypocritical, yes, but wise and benevolent.
His years of experience told him that if he attacked that village, Konoha could enter into a large-scale war.
Only that his best friend is too impatient, every day he became more and more impatient with the numbers obtained by Yu no Kuni, and greed blinded him.
...
Mansion of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning
"Please, don't hurt me, I can... I can give you whatever you want."
Currently, the Daimyo was in an extremely embarrassing situation.
He did not expect that criminals would infiltrate among his guards and catch him off guard.
"Shut up old man, or I'll slit your throat."
A young man of about 16 years old enjoyed instilling fear in the cowardly Daimyo.
Normally, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning always acted calm and impassive in every meeting.
But in this situation, where his life hung by a thin thread, he had no choice but to beg.
The young Uchiha began to laugh loudly at the panic-stricken face of the Daimyo.
"Hahaha, following Kenzo-sama is incredible, I never expected to intimidate the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning in my life."
However, his joy did not last long.
A fist struck his head without warning.
"Leave him alone, we have received orders from Kenzo-sama, let's take the captives and go."
An extremely fierce voice scolded him.
"Ahhh, Izumi, why are you so irritable today." The young man complained.
On the other hand....
Izumi herself had realized it, only she didn't show it.
"I don't know what you're talking about." She twisted her mouth as she looked away.
Only suddenly, her eyes moved towards the darkness.
"You hide really well, if you hadn't breathed, maybe you could have surprised me."
Izumi smiled maliciously, while a butterfly pattern formed in her eyes.
Activating her Mangekyō Sharingan.
With quick hand seals, she exclaimed with delight.
"Katōn: Gokakyu no Jutsu" (Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu)
A huge fireball with a diameter of over 10 meters shot out of the mouth of the young Uchiha towards the ninja hidden on the roof.
"This is bad."
The ninja, a newly promoted Jōnin from Kumo, in charge of secretly protecting the Daimyo, was alerted.
That enormous and unusual ball of fire emitted a terrifying heat.
If it reached him, there would definitely be nothing left but ashes.
Quickly, he tried to dodge by jumping into the air, only for Izumi to be faster than him.
"Hehehe, I've got you."
"Suiton: Taihodan" (Water Style: Water Cannon)
Izumi launched a simple but powerful stream of water from her mouth towards the retreating ninja.
The Jōnin didn't have time to be surprised when all his senses spun, followed by losing consciousness.
That powerful stream of water split his body in two.
"Hiding from an Uchiha, how foolish."
Izumi struck a winning pose as she huffed.
The young man was dazzled by the sudden and short battle that had just happened before his eyes.
While the little hope that remained for the Daimyo had vanished, along with his consciousness.
"Your Mangekyo is amazing." The young Uchiha couldn't help but praise.
"Hehehe, compared to Itachi-kun's, it's nothing at all." Izumi scratched her head as she deactivated her butterfly pattern.
"Being able to greatly increase the power of elemental jutsus pales in comparison to Itachi-kun's Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu."
The young man grimaced at the mention of that name.
"You're so annoying every time you talk about that traitor."
Izumi reacted badly to the insult towards the man she loved.
She took her younger brother by the ear and scolded him.
"Itachi-kun is more of a man than you could ever be in your life, insolent bastard, do you want me to educate you again."
The young man felt his heart shatter into pieces.
"How can you say that to your own brother." He pretended to be hurt.
Watching the siblings' exchange with a grimace from a distance, Shisui had no choice but to intervene.
"Izumi, I sent you to pick up your brother, and you're already causing trouble again." Shisui smiled bitterly.
Before in Konoha, Izumi was a withdrawn girl, very serious in her affairs.
Due to the tense situation between the village and the clan, as well as how the Uchiha were blatantly marginalized, Izumi retreated into a shell.
Like Itachi, she was concerned about the situation of her clan, only not to the same extent as them.
But seeing the Izumi of now, the true Izumi, Shisui didn't know whether to be glad or angry.
