Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swordsmen Begins from the Hidden Cloud Village.

Chapter 27 Danzo Azang
"Are you really going to take action against the Uzumaki clan?"

In an underground base of the Hidden Leaf Village, Danzo Shimura looked at the intelligence he had just obtained with an extremely solemn expression.

"Go ask the Hokage to come over and tell him that there is something important to discuss."

After thinking for a while, Shimura Danzo gave the order.

Soon a Root ninja left, and not long after that Sarutobi Hiruzen arrived.

"What happened?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen also had a serious look on his face. He knew his good friend. If it was an ordinary matter, he would take the initiative to come to the Hokage Building to talk about it, but this time he asked him to come here, it must be something very special.

"This is the information obtained from the Hidden Cloud Village."

Danzo Shimura handed over the two pieces of information.

"The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, the Uzumaki sealing technique, the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Sand Village have joined forces."

After reading the two pieces of information, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked more solemn. He analyzed three key points, especially the first two, which were very consistent with the style of the Hidden Cloud Village.

"It's definitely not just the Cloud Village and the Sand Village that have the same idea about the Uzumaki Sealing Technique. The Rock Village and the Mist Village that have the tailed beasts must also have the same idea.

Although according to the existing information, they seem to have the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki appearing, but he often goes berserk. This is because the sealing technique is not strong enough. They must want to obtain a sealing technique that can perfectly seal the Tailed Beast.

This is an opportunity for us, and it is also the last chance for the Uzumaki clan."

Danzo Shimura's eyes were sharp and cold. He needed to get Hiruzen's authorization to lead more Anbu ninjas to the Land of Whirlpools to eliminate the hidden danger of the Uzumaki clan.

The sealing technique that can perfectly seal the tailed beasts is enough for the Konoha family alone, there is no need for a second family.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not respond immediately. He took out his pipe, lit it, and smoked quietly, thinking.

He knew what his old friend meant. Over the years, he had invited the Uzumaki clan to migrate and integrate into Konoha three times in the name of Hokage. In this way, they could obtain all the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, and he would have more trump cards.

But his kindness was rejected by the Uzumaki clan. Now the four major ninja villages have set their sights on the Uzumaki clan. If the four major ninja villages were allowed to obtain the Uzumaki sealing technique and create a perfect tailed beast jinchūriki like Mito-sama, it would be a big trouble.

"Mito-sama is getting old, and the village needs a young Kyuubi Jinchuriki."

After a long while, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke of a goal, a goal that must be achieved.

It is not easy to become a tailed beast jinchūriki. Not only does it require perfect sealing techniques, but one must also have a huge amount of chakra.

Especially since they possess the strongest Nine-Tails, the requirements for the Jinchūriki are even more stringent. Currently, only people from the Uzumaki clan can be qualified, and they have to be direct members.

"I will bring back the best Jinchūriki."

A smile appeared on Shimura Danzo's face. This was what he was waiting for, and he knew that Hiruzen would definitely agree.

In fact, he understood Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts very well. Although he had invited the Uzumaki clan to migrate to Konoha three times before, he knew that Hiruzen did not actually want the entire Uzumaki clan to migrate here.

The problem lies with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. At this stage, only the direct descendants of the Uzumaki clan can be qualified for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. If the entire Uzumaki clan migrates here, then will the Nine-Tails belong to the village or to the Uzumaki clan?

At this stage, Lord Mito, as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, has made the Senju clan so arrogant. Hiruzen almost lost his position as Hokage at the beginning, and they have not been very successful in the past few years.

If the Uzumaki clan comes over, the Senju clan, who have a marriage relationship with them, will be in great trouble!
By then, the Nine-Tailed Fox will be in the Uzumaki clan, that is, in the hands of the Senju clan, which would be too dangerous!
Therefore, it would be best for the Uzumaki clan to disappear completely and leave only one person as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

But this kind of thing can't be done by Hiruzen, he has to do it himself.

In Konoha, Hiruzen is the leaf basking in the sun, while I am the root in the darkness!

"If they still refuse to change their ways, we should be more covert when we strike, and we must not leave any traces behind."

Finally, he gave a solemn reminder. Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer had much patience for the Uzumaki clan, but Mito-sama was still alive after all. Some things couldn't be done too obviously, otherwise it would cause big problems. "Do I need your reminder?"

Glancing sideways, Danzo Shimura naturally understood this truth. This operation must not be exposed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't care about Danzo's attitude. He knew that his friend was just like that and was definitely still brooding over what happened that year.

They have been partners for decades. In fact, the Sarutobi family and the Shimura clan have been allies for many years since the Warring States Period and have often cooperated in battles.

The Shimura family's wind escape technique can be perfectly combined with the Sarutobi family's Great Flame Technique, greatly increasing its power. He and Danzo grew up together and have a life-and-death friendship.

"You swapped out the teacher's Thunder God Sword a few days ago. Is it related to this information?"

He then asked about another thing. A few days ago, Danzo Shimura suddenly went to the Hokage Building to check the information and relics left by his teacher. Out of curiosity, he went over to take a look and found that his teacher's Thunder God Sword had been replaced.

He was puzzled at that time. He couldn't understand why his good friend would do such a thing.

Now that he had suddenly obtained such important information, which was obtained from the Hidden Cloud Village, he couldn't help but make some guesses.

"That's not your concern!"

Glancing at his friend, Danzo Shimura would of course not tell the truth, which was his trump card at this stage.

Although I am very unhappy with the kid's courageous behavior, I can understand it.

I'm afraid only someone with this kind of personality can survive in a place like the Hidden Cloud Village. Being cautious is not the mainstream style of the Hidden Cloud Village.

With that kid's intelligence, his status in the Hidden Cloud Village will surely continue to improve in the future. If he can solve the problem of chakra qualification, he might even become a high-ranking official in the Hidden Cloud Village.

He could even arrange for some merits to go to that kid, for example, the intelligence about the Uchiha clan who were going to the Land of Lightning to fight, so that he could improve faster and higher in the Hidden Cloud Village, and thus obtain more intelligence.

He is very tolerant of such talented and intelligent people.

Seeing that Danzo was unwilling to say more, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not dare to ask any more questions, but he knew in his heart that this good friend must have planted a good person in the Hidden Cloud Village, and his status must be not low.

This is a good thing. Among the five major ninja villages, only the Hidden Cloud Village is a pure fighting village that advocates external attacks and plunder, and poses the greatest threat to their Konoha.

Even the teacher died at the hands of the Hidden Cloud Village, so it is a good thing to be able to plant a high-level spy among them.

"Keep your people under control and don't cause any trouble. We have finally managed to get some of the teacher's legacy back, and it would be bad to let the news of the theft spread now."

He gave a solemn reminder that the matter of the Thundergod's Sword could be a big deal or a small one, and it would be very troublesome if the Thousand Hands Clan used it to cause trouble.

Now that the Ninja World War is about to begin, he doesn't want any trouble to occur within Konoha.

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

Glancing sideways again, Danzo Shimura was still very confident about the kid. After all, he had the bonds with him in his hands.

The knife doesn’t have to be sharp, as long as you can hold the handle!
Seeing his old friend's confidence, Sarutobi Hiruzen was relieved. His expression changed immediately and he said in a flattering tone, "Azang, lend me another few tens of thousands of ryo."

"Are you going to buy those messy books again?"

There was undisguised contempt and disdain in Shimura Danzo's eyes. He knew his old friend's hobby very well, and he had borrowed money from him many times in the past few years.

You called me Danzo before, but now you call me Azo. Who do you think of me, Shimura Danzo?
"No, I just want to buy some good tobacco. You know, Biwako doesn't like me smoking and doesn't give me money to buy cigarettes."

Sarutobi Hiruzen rejected it decisively. How could he, Sarutobi Hiruzen, read such obscene books? The story of the doorman, Mr. Sarutobi, in the drawer of his office was definitely not his.
