Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 424 Akatsuki Organization

After watching the fox leave, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately summoned Danzo.

He handed the fox scroll to Danzo.

"Danzo, the fox is planning to go to the Land of Rain to find Uchiha Madara and deal with this rogue ninja for the village. Take a look at his plan and tell me your thoughts."

Danzo glanced at the scroll and thought to himself: This was originally my doing.

By using the Book of Seals to entice the fox, he will naturally fight desperately.

Danzo spoke up, "The matter of the rogue ninja Uchiha Madara does indeed need to be settled. We can't let him continue to run rampant."

The hidden dangers left by the first and second generations must be completely resolved in our hands.

We must pass on a clean and pure Konoha to the next generation.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded perfunctorily.

The next generation?
Shinnosuke is dead, so who will Hiruzen Sarutobi choose as his successor?
The Three Legendary Sannin? They were strong enough, but each had their own problems.

Antlers? Antlers aren't strong enough.

Danzo continued:
"As far as I know, an organization has emerged around Nagato Uzumaki, a remnant of the Uzumaki clan, and is developing rapidly, giving Hanzo a great headache."

Hanzo contacted me to inquire about the Uzumaki clan.

The fact that Madara Uchiha and his subordinates were hiding in the Land of Rain was like a bone stuck in Hanzo's throat, making him restless and unable to eat or sleep.

I believe we can cooperate with Hanzo and use his power to let the fox directly restrain Madara Uchiha, while Hanzo and I deal with the remnants of the Uzumaki clan.

Danzo pondered to himself that he couldn't completely trust the fox. Even a fool could see the fox's problems.

We must bring in Hanzo and use him to deal with Madara Uchiha and the fox.

While Madara Uchiha was ruthless towards Konoha, he was also a major problem for Hanzo.

Hanzo proclaimed himself a 'demigod of the ninja world,' and Madara Uchiha occupied his territory, yet he dared not drive him away, which dealt a heavy blow to his prestige.

When the time comes, he will use one tiger to devour another, letting Hanzo lead the charge while he seizes the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, "Will Hanzo deal with the remnants of the Uzumaki clan?"

"Yes," Danzo said confidently.
"The remnants of the Uzumaki clan formed an organization called 'Akatsuki,' claiming to bring dawn to the Land of Rain and even the entire ninja world."

They believe that the Land of Rain is currently shrouded in darkness, and that Hanzo's rule has led to the continuous decline of Amegakure and the Land of Rain.

Their goal is to overthrow Hanzo and rebuild Amegakure and the Land of Rain according to their own ideals.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded: "Alright, since you've thought it through, let's go to the Land of Rain with the fox."

"No, let's split up."

Hiruzen Sarutobi realized: Danzo was on guard against the fox.

Without Shinnosuke, their most important intermediary between them and the fox no longer exists.

The fox was appointed as the head of the Dark Division simply because his strength was too great, and he had no choice but to be given this position.

"The fox is uncontrollable and not one of ours. We can use the 'Konoha Righteousness' to restrain him," Hiruzen Sarutobi said.

"I will convene a meeting of the Jonin team and announce that Fox will take the initiative to deal with Uchiha Madara for the sake of Konoha."

Danzo nodded in agreement. Although the fox was not a direct descendant, judging from his current performance, he had risked his life for Konoha several times and was still loyal to the village.

In the 43rd year of Konoha, the village held its first Jonin class meeting.

As Ye Guang entered the meeting room, he discovered that Danzo was absent.

On the platform were only Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shikaku Nara, Tsunade, and himself.

Once the Jonin had quieted down, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke:

"Year 42 of Konoha has passed, and Year 43 has arrived. In the past year, Konoha Village has experienced many upheavals. The rogue ninja Uchiha Madara launched a surprise attack on Konoha, causing heavy casualties. Subsequently, the newly appointed foreign affairs advisor, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, sacrificed himself to protect the mission share of the Land of Hot Springs."

The root cause of so many disasters suffered by Konoha Village lies with the rogue ninja Uchiha Madara and his followers.

Konoha cannot tolerate such a powerful rogue ninja going unpunished.

Fox, the head of the Anbu (Anbu branch), volunteered to eliminate the rogue ninja Uchiha Madara for the village.

He mastered the First Hokage's Wood Release technique and was capable of dealing with Madara Uchiha.

I hereby appoint Fox as the captain of the rogue ninja pursuit team, to lead a force to completely eliminate Uchiha Madara!

All eyes turned to Fox, the head of the Dark Division.

Ye Guang stood up and said loudly, "Please rest assured, Hokage! I will definitely avenge Konoha and make Uchiha Madara pay the price!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded repeatedly.

By setting up the fox, he would seriously deal with Uchiha Madara in order to protect Konoha's reputation, which would also make things easier for Danzo.

The next topic is Konoha's plans for the new year.

After Mitokado Homura, Hatake Sakumo, and Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Konoha Village was unable to select a new foreign affairs advisor.

Either due to insufficient ability or a lack of willingness, this high-level position has become vacant.

The guardian ninjas of the various daimyo are now personally appointed and commanded by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After the meeting, Ye Guang led the Aries squad away from Konoha Village.
-
The land of rain.

Yahiko led the Akatsuki organization away from Kyoto, the Land of Rain.

"Don't be discouraged," Yahiko encouraged his companions.

"The nobles of Kyoto have been cooperating with Hanzo for more than a decade, so it's no surprise that they don't support us."

"Our path to becoming the leaders of the ninja world and bringing peace to it is inherently arduous and long. This setback is merely a small test in our initial stages."

Yahiko was followed by Nagato, Konan, and four rogue ninjas they had rescued.

In addition, there is a new boy who has joined the group—Obito, who wears a swirling mask.

At Obito's age, he should have been studying at the Ninja Academy in a major ninja village. But in the Land of Rain, he had to fend for himself and even fight against wandering ninjas.

He was sent here by Madara, who had Obito grow up under the Akatsuki organization.

Yahiko continued, "Let's go to the town in the southeast of the Land of Rain. The nobles there have extensive trade relations with the Land of Rivers. Perhaps they will support us and provide funding for Akatsuki's activities."

After the Akatsuki members left, a Rain Ninja slowly emerged from the mud on the ground.

He overheard the entire conversation between the Akatsuki members and rushed to Amegakure to inform Lord Hanzo of the latest information about the Akatsuki.

After Yu Ren left, Jue Cai emerged from the darkness.

"That Rain Ninja finally left. If he hadn't left, I was afraid he would have been exposed."

The pitcher plant-like Black Zetsu and White Zetsu began a conversation that sounded like they were talking to themselves.

"Nagato seems to be going astray by following Yahiko and Konan."

"Lord Madara bestowed the Rinnegan upon Nagato, not so that he could pursue some kind of peace in the ninja world."

"Peace? That word is ridiculous. Why create a concept that is destined to be unattainable?"

"Originally, we planned to have Tobi and Obito take action to eliminate the rest of the Akatsuki. But since Konoha has made some moves, let's wait and see."

"Perhaps Konoha will act on our behalf. There are many forces eyeing Nagato, including us, Amegakure, and Konoha."

"Let Nagato experience the darkness of the ninja world for himself."
