Chapter 97 Killing two birds with one stone

Danzo awaited the fox's reply.

Ye Guang was extremely nervous. If he said anything wrong, Danzo would definitely kill him here.

He gathered his thoughts briefly and said:

"Lord Danzo! We must spread the news that Madara Uchiha is still alive back to the village in a grand and public manner."

In this way, the village would organize a large force to hunt down Madara Uchiha.

Madara Uchiha is still alive; he is a nightmare for the village.

Kato Dan appeared not far from Uchiha Madara, and he was guarded by Senju soldiers. I think the Senju clan roughly knew Kato Dan's location.

"If we simply throw Kato Dan's body into the Advent of the World of Trees created by Madara Uchiha, making it appear as if Kato Dan died at Madara's hands, wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?"

Danzo raised his eyelids slightly, showing great interest: "How can we kill two birds with one stone?"

Ye Guang thought to himself that his plan had impressed Danzo, and quickly said:

"First, it can explain the death of Kato Dan."

Now that Kato Dan is dead, Tsunade will definitely stop at nothing to investigate.

If Kato Dan dies at the hands of Uchiha Madara, then Tsunade won't have much of a solution.

After all, her grandfather also died prematurely after his battle with Madara Uchiha at the Valley of the End.

Secondly, it can divert the blame eastward.

The Senju clan will inevitably target the Uchiha clan even more.

"By then, the Senju and Uchiha clans will be locked in internal strife, leaving no time to uncover the truth."

Yagami was quite certain that Danzo was not afraid of Tsunade's investigation, but he was definitely interested in the infighting between the Senju and Uchiha clans.

Danzo didn't even consider the Senju clan during Senju Rinmoku's time a threat. Now, with Senju Hanagi and a bunch of old, weak, and disabled people, Danzo didn't continue to attack them simply because it was an eyesore and he was worried about the collective resistance from the other ninja clans in the village.

As expected, Danzo became very interested when he heard the words "internal strife".

No one understands internal strife better than Danzo.

Danzo is the King of Konoha.

Yi asked from the side, "What if Madara Uchiha doesn't admit that he killed Dan Kato?"

Ye Guang explained, "I've heard some stories about Uchiha Madara. He killed too many people to remember someone like Kato Dan, who's two generations younger than him."

Danzo nodded; that was indeed true.

Seeing that things were going well, Ye Guang revealed his ultimate goal:

"Lord Danzo! I am willing to risk my life to go to the Advent of the Tree World now and set up the illusion that Kato Dan was killed by Uchiha Madara!"

Kato Dan's actual time of death and the time he faked his death couldn't differ too much, otherwise it would be obvious.

He wants to break away from Danzo; the current Danzo is too dangerous.

Once I'm free from him, everything will be fine, and I'll have more room to maneuver.

Danzo frowned slightly, looked down at Kato Dan's corpse, and finally said, "Good! Fox, your thinking is very sharp. You are a natural-born ANBU."

"A natural-born member of the Dark Side..." Ye Guang thought this sounded like an insult.

Danzo then said, "Yosu, you follow the fox and make sure he completes his plan. I'll wait for you here."

As expected, Danzo dared not risk his life; he was terrified of dying tonight.

Asking B to follow along shows a lack of trust in oneself and a fear that one might take action.

Ye Guang carried the bodies of Kato Dan and his two guards, then picked up Kato Dan's severed hand and walked backward.

B stood a hundred meters behind the fox, watching it intently from afar.

As they approached the cave where Madara Uchiha was hiding, Oto was also afraid.

We have to take a gamble on the glow-in-the-dark.

He bet that Madara Uchiha would quickly relocate after his whereabouts were exposed.

In the original story, after obtaining Hashirama Senju's power, Madara Uchiha lost interest in everything in the ninja world and focused on planning the Eye of the Moon Project.

At this point, Madara Uchiha was discovered by Danzo and may have moved away to continue his infiltration.

Madara Uchiha's true purpose was to initiate the Eye of the Moon Plan after his resurrection; without Hashirama, the world would be utterly meaningless.

If Madara Uchiha hadn't left yet... Nightlight moved her eyes, and could only activate her Sharingan to ask Madara Uchiha, "Did you have many lovers when you were young?"

Madara Uchiha, do you still remember Xia Yuhe by the Naka River?
However, it's hard to say for sure. Perhaps Madara Uchiha still resented the Uchiha clan for not leaving Konoha with him.

In the heavy rain, the distant woods were vaguely visible through the mist.

Soon, Nightlight saw the battlefield after the birth of the Tree Realm. Thick tree trunks were intertwined and densely packed together.

The moonlight looked at the dark cave above the Tree Realm.

He formed a hand seal and created a shadow clone.

The shadow clone leaped onto the tree trunk created by the Tree Realm and bounded towards the cave.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, gusts of cool breeze blew out from inside.

Night Light was ready to activate his Sharingan at any moment, watching the shadow clone disappear into the cave.

One hundred meters behind, Yi was also nervously watching the cave.

He secretly planted parasites on the fox, so that if the fox did anything suspicious, he would immediately get rid of it.

Twenty seconds later, the shadow clone reappeared at the cave entrance.

Ye Guang's tense body relaxed. He first put down the corpse, then instantly appeared at the entrance of a cave halfway up the mountain.

The shadow clone exploded, bringing the memories to Ye Guang, but Ye Guang was still worried and went into the cave.

The mountain and underground had been hollowed out, creating an exceptionally large space, but apart from a chair, it was completely empty.

That towering space may be housing heretical statues.

Madara Uchiha, Nagato, and their family of three have all disappeared.

Ye Guang breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, Uchiha Madara had hidden himself away again, plotting behind the scenes.

He returned to the Tree World and saw the corpses of three Konoha ninjas, as well as the corpses of Root ninjas from the Yamanaka clan.

The corpses were crushed and mangled by the tree trunks.

After carefully observing the gruesome state of the corpses, Nightlight did the same to the bodies of Kato Dan and Senju Goei.

He lifted the tree trunk, placed the body inside, and then... made sure the skull was crushed so that no information could be obtained from the corpse.

Kato Dan's face was only visible in the gap in the tree trunk, which proved that it was him.

Yi relaxed at a distance, watching the fox busy itself.

Lord Danzo was right; foxes are born ANBU, ruthless and meticulous in their methods.

After finishing, Ye Guang found Yi and said:
“I’m applying to join the investigation team. When they return, I can guide them to pay attention to the details of Kato’s dismembered body and make sure there are no mistakes.”

B said, "You can tell me the details, and I can guide the investigation team."

Ye Guang was taken aback. "If I tell you all the details, won't you still try to silence me?"

"Alright, let's go to Kato Dan's place and discuss this in detail."

Approaching Kato Dan, Yoru deliberately made it sound complicated, saying, "Look at this head... look at this chest..."

After describing the general situation, he added:

"I also considered the possibility of heavy rain washing away the material. The investigation team won't arrive for at least ten days, and I think the rain could cause four or five different problems with his arm..."

I request to stay here for a few days to observe the results of the rain washing away the body, and also to prevent wild animals or rain ninjas from disturbing the scene.

B discovered that the fox had anticipated many possibilities, making things increasingly complicated.

After thinking it over, he decided to go back and ask Lord Danzo whether or not to silence them, rather than making the decision on his own.

"Come back with me to see Lord Danzo first, and he will decide whether it is necessary to stay at the scene."

Yako followed Oto back to Danzo's side. Danzo was still standing there, getting soaked in the rain. One of his eyes was his four-white eye, and the other was a grayish-white dead man's eye.

Yi left the fox where it was and went over to report to Danzo in a low voice.

After thinking it over, Danzo said:

"The fox is very useful; he is very thoughtful. Let him guide the investigation team."

The fox went through the entire year's major missions of the Anbu, starting from the Hidden Village of Uzushiogakure, without making any mistakes.

He showed no mercy to the three Senju clan members' corpses, and never considered joining the Senju clan or betraying the Anbu.

As the fox said, you and he should stay here together to ensure that the scene is not disturbed by passing rain ninjas.

I'll go back to the village first and bring the investigation team over as soon as possible.

The Third Hokage's arrival, coupled with Madara Uchiha's continued existence, poses a greater threat to the village than the Second Shinobi World War.

"Okay, Danzo-sama."

Seeing Danzo leave alone, Yoru breathed a long sigh of relief.

Fooled over.
