within the root base.
Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly after listening to his subordinate's report.
Just yesterday, he completed a major surgery and successfully transplanted the Sharingan and first-generation cells into his body at the same time, achieving a delicate balance.
Although this balance is fragile and requires the use of sealing techniques to maintain at all times, which is very troublesome, his combat effectiveness has been improved to the last degree.
At this moment, one can imagine his surprise when he learned that Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Shinji left the village at the same time.
"Hmph, is Hiruzen really old? He actually asked Sasuke to leave the village."
After snorting softly, he made his own plan.
He had watched all of Zuosuke's growth.
His evaluation of Zuosuke was not lower than that of Shisui and Itachi, and because of this, he felt that he should take the responsibility of guarding Konoha in the darkness and take Zuosuke into his roots as soon as possible.
As for Uchiha Shinji, it's even simpler.
Konoha ninjas who dare to disobey him are equivalent to village traitors in his eyes, and such people should be killed.
"I am the root of protecting Konoha. Since Hiruzen is old, the burden of protecting Konoha should be borne by me!"
Having made up his mind, he ordered the subordinates in front of him: "Immediately summon an elite team and secretly follow the team from the Kingdom of Ghosts. After they leave the Country of Fire, they will find an opportunity to kidnap Uchiha Sasuke and kill Uchiha. Shinji Hasami!"
The root ninja was slightly startled and asked for instructions carefully: "Sir, the one escorting the team from the Kingdom of Demons is Asuma's team. We..."
Danzo leaned on his crutch impatiently: "Do you still need me to teach you about wandering ninjas pretending to be the Underworld Cult to attack mikos and distract Asuma?"
"yes!"
The root ninja was shocked and lowered his head.
...
The country of ghosts.
The leader of the Huangquan Sect, who was sitting on the tatami, supported his chin with his hand and squinted at the two figures who suddenly appeared in front of him: "What is your reason for coming?"
Wearing a mask, Obito said: "On behalf of the Akatsuki organization, I invite you to join!"
"Xiao?" With a chuckle, the leader of the Underworld Sect shook his head and said, "Why should I join you?"
Zetsu next to Obito took over: "We know what you are looking for. If you are willing to join us, we can help you."
"Oh, do you really know what I'm looking for?"
The leader of the Underworld Cult became slightly interested.
Jue said with great certainty: "Without our help, with just your few manpower, it would be impossible to find that place even after five years of searching!"
The leader of the Underworld Sect condensed his eyes when he heard this: "Who are you!"
Obito said calmly: "You just need to know that I am the one who can help you! Make a choice, join us or..."
Obito is not a man of faith.
Since he made the trip in person, he would not return without success.
It would be best if the leader of the Huangquan Sect in front of him knew what he was doing. If the other party didn't know what was good and what was good, then he wouldn't mind getting rid of him easily.
After all, he secretly recruited people without telling Nagato, so in order to keep it secret, the recruits this time did not have the right to reject him.
Staring at Obito and Zetsu, the leader of the Underworld Sect pondered.
The other party appeared in front of him quietly, and the guards outside did not react at all. This showed that the other party's strength was not simple.
So after weighing it, he nodded: "I can join your organization, but you must also promise me and help me fulfill my long-cherished wish!"
Jue Xiao said: "I have found the sealed place you are looking for."
The leader of the Huangquan Sect was refreshed and stood up from the tatami without caring about the crowd: "Quickly tell me, where is it?"
Jue shrugged his shoulders: "It's useless even if I tell you. There is a powerful seal of the miko there, and ordinary people can't get close to it."
The leader of the Underworld Cult said coldly: "I don't need you to worry about it now!"
Zetsu glanced at Obito and saw that Obito nodded, so he told the leader of the Underworld Cult about the sealed place he had detected.
After learning the specific location, the leader of the Underworld Sect immediately summoned his subordinates. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the witch was not in the country to lift the seal.
Looking at the Huangquan Sect members leaving in a hurry, Obito asked Jue: "What is sealed there?"
Hei Jue smiled and said: "A very interesting guy!"
Obito looked puzzled: "Interesting!?"
At this time, Hei Zetsu pretended that he had read an ancient document and introduced Obito in detail the history of the miko in the Kingdom of Demons: "A very powerful miko was born in the Kingdom of Demons. Later, even the miko herself was I feel afraid of my own power and feel that once this power is abused, it will threaten the entire world."
There was a flash of surprise in Obito's eyes.
To be afraid of her own power and afraid of affecting the world shows that the strength of that miko is supreme at the shadow level, or even above the shadow level.
So he didn't expect that such a small country could give birth to such a person.
Hei Jue continued: "In order that the world would not be destroyed because of his own power, His Highness finally chose to use the sealing technique to seal his evil thoughts alone."
Obito immediately understood: "So the evil thoughts of the miko are sealed there?"
Bai Jue said: "No wonder my clone can't get close to there."
Black Zetsu smiled: "The sealing technique of the miko in the Kingdom of Ghosts is as famous as the Uzumaki clan. I am really curious whether the guy just now is really capable of breaking the miko's seal and releasing the miko's evil thoughts."
Obito did not joke, but asked: "What will happen if the miko's evil thoughts are released?"
Black Jue said: "The evil thoughts of the witches later transformed into a monster called a monster. After being defeated by a certain witch, the monster was divided into two parts, body and soul. Sealed in the Kingdom of Ghosts. , It’s just the ghost’s soul.”
Obito confirmed: "In other words, even if the guy just succeeded, it will not affect our plan?"
Hei Jue said: "It should be like this!"
Bai Jue said at this time: "I'm really curious about what the soul of the demon is like!"
“You’ll find out if you follow along and see!”
Obito was also a little curious as to whether the demon was really as evil as Black Zetsu said, so he activated his 'divine power' and disappeared into the twisted whirlpool.
Jue's body also shrank into the ground and disappeared without a trace.
...
Outside the sealed land.
The four guards from the Kingdom of Ghosts holding torches were observing the surroundings vigilantly.
Although the sealed place was in an extremely hidden valley, they did not dare to be careless at all, because they knew that once the monsters inside escaped, the first one to suffer would be their hometown, the Kingdom of Ghosts.
Swish swish...
At this moment, several kunai shot out of the darkness, accurately hitting the Ghost Kingdom guards.
Three of the four people died on the spot. The one who fell to the ground with serious injuries was shocked and quickly touched the flare at his waist.
But just as he was about to shoot the flare into the air, a foot stepped on his wrist, stamping out the newly lit flare...
