Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Therefore, no one informed Danzo.

After Madara Uchiha left, Fugaku Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha found an opportunity to ask Sasuke Uchiha about his whereabouts.

“He should be with Orochimaru, but as for whether he’s safe…” Tsunade slowly shook her head and said, “I’m not sure.”

Orochimaru also had a bad reputation, and Sasuke was startled when he heard that Sasuke was with Orochimaru.

"Lady Tsunade, do you know where Lord Orochimaru is?"

Although Orochimaru is a rogue ninja, many ninjas still address him as "sir".

"I don't know, that guy is very good at hiding." Tsunade shook her head again.

Fugaku and Mikoto looked at each other for a moment, then decided to go back to the organization to ask.

The power of the organization's leader had become deeply ingrained in people's minds, and the two felt that Boss Fang should know where Sasuke was.

With that in mind, the two bid farewell and immediately set off back to Amegakure.

Within a few tens of minutes, about half of the people in the private room had left. The remaining few looked at each other for a moment, then stopped talking about business and picked up the menu to order...

People in nearby private rooms, upon hearing the names of the dishes coming from the next room, remained silent for a moment before ordering their own food.

They were already in a barbecue restaurant, so what would they do if they didn't eat something? Besides, they had received a lot of information today, and they needed some time to digest it. Eating something and drinking some alcohol would help calm their turbulent emotions.

At the same time, at the Root organization's base.

Inside Danzo's office, Shimura Danzo looked down at the ninja who was half-crouched in front of him, listening attentively to his report.

"...Hiruzen?"

Danzo's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression seemingly sinister.

“An outsider dared to impersonate the deceased Third Hokage to gather manpower. That person must be taught a lesson so that others will understand that Konoha is not to be trifled with.”

Chapter 254 Danzo Shimura's Counterattack

For Danzo, whether Hiruzen Sarutobi was real or fake, it would not benefit him.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi is real and the Third Hokage returns, his power will inevitably be divided, or even completely taken away.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi is a fake, it means that other ninja villages have lost their respect for Konoha...

While other ninja villages had no respect for Konoha, Danzo Shimura held a different view.

Filled with resentment, Danzo Shimura led a group of people to leave Root when a loud "boom" echoed throughout the base, followed by a slight tremor.

The experienced Root ninjas immediately determined it was an explosion. Several Root ninjas pinpointed the location of the explosion and then went to investigate.

Danzo Shimura ignored the matter and continued leading his men toward the exit of the Root organization's base. In his view, it was more important to cause trouble for someone, and if handled well, he might be able to gain more power.

Thinking this, Danzo Shimura quickened his pace slightly.

Even faster than him were several Root ninjas who had gone ahead. They had already reached the edge of Root and could see a hole more than three meters in diameter in the hard and thick wall, through which sunlight streamed into the base.

Standing backlit by the dazzling golden light, Madara Uchiha exuded an overwhelming aura of dominance, creating a powerful sense of oppression that immediately intimidated the Root organization ninjas, preventing them from approaching.

"He is a powerful figure! He cannot be defeated by force!"

The same thought crossed the minds of several Root ninjas. After exchanging glances, the fastest Root ninja vanished from his spot and returned the way he came to report to Danzo Shimura.

The others drew their short swords and charged at Madara Uchiha without hesitation. Root ninjas, having undergone rigorous training, had obedience to orders and loyalty to Danzo ingrained in their hearts; naturally, there was no possibility of them "running away out of fear"...

"Instead of running away, they're charging straight at me?"

Madara Uchiha crossed his arms, raised his head, and his face was full of arrogance.

"Commendable courage, but utterly foolish."

As he spoke, a windmill-like pattern appeared in Madara Uchiha's eyes, and his surging ocular power instantly pulled everyone into a genjutsu.

The group of people who were speeding around stopped instantly, stood respectfully in front of Uchiha Madara, and awaited his instructions.

"Go and move everything out of the storeroom," Madara Uchiha ordered.

Upon hearing this, a Root ninja replied, "Sir, there is more than one warehouse at the base; I only know of one of them."

“Sir, there are also warehouses outside the base,” another Root ninja added.

The remaining people didn't say anything; what they knew, the other two also knew.

"Is this so..."

Madara Uchiha nodded slightly. He knew the principle of having three burrows, so he wasn't particularly surprised.

'It seems I need to ask Danzo Shimura.'

Thinking this, Madara Uchiha turned his gaze to the dimly lit passage and ordered, "Lead the way to find Danzo Shimura."

"Yes, sir," the Root ninjas, who were under the control of the genjutsu, replied, bowing their heads.

The group proceeded along the wide passage.

Meanwhile, the Root ninjas who had escaped earlier relayed the information to Danzo Shimura, who had by then changed his mind.

"How dare they cause trouble for the organization? They must be tired of living!"

Upon hearing that someone dared to cause trouble in his home, Shimura Danzo exploded with fury, like a lit firecracker.

Shimura Danzo considered himself someone of importance, the kind of person few dared to mess with, but today…

He actually encountered a fool who dared to kick down his door.

'Looks like I, Danzo, have been keeping a low profile for too long~ You've all forgotten how powerful I, Danzo, am!'

'Very well, today I will remind you why I, Danzo, have achieved my current status...'

With this thought in mind, Danzo, his face filled with ruthlessness, led a group of people toward the enemy's territory.

About a minute later, the two sides met.

Shimura Danzo was startled when he saw the familiar yet unfamiliar person opposite him. The name "Uchiha Madara" flashed through his mind, and a feeling of fear welled up in his heart.

Having witnessed Madara Uchiha's power firsthand, and knowing just how strong he was, Danzo Shimura's fear of Madara was etched into his very being.

Upon seeing Madara Uchiha standing before him, Danzo Shimura immediately lost his composure and refused to believe that the Madara Uchiha in front of him was the real person.

"Everyone, charge! Kill him!"

Whether it was the struggle for power or anything else, Shimura Danzo had already put it all behind him. He now had only one thought: to prove that Uchiha Madara was a fake.

Several elite Jonin rushed forward, followed closely by more than a dozen special Jonin.

A mere dozen meters is practically nothing to a Jonin; in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Uchiha Madara, unleashing both ordinary ninjutsu and clan ninjutsu, like a ferocious wolf pouncing on Uchiha Madara...

Before Madara Uchiha could make a move, several Root organization ninjas guarding him sprang into action, quickly forming hand seals and coordinating to unleash Water Release: Water Wall to block the attacks from the remaining Root organization ninjas.

however……

Judging from the disparity in strength between the two sides, it was impossible for the ninjutsu used by the group to completely block the attack, therefore...

Blue ribs appeared around Madara Uchiha, and enemy attacks could not penetrate his defenses. The only attack that could break through was from someone in the Aburame clan, but unfortunately...

Although he was wearing sunglasses, they couldn't block the genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan. Not knowing Madara Uchiha's identity, he didn't take precautions against the Sharingan's genjutsu and was therefore easily caught in its trap...

Several Root organization ninjas under his control were knocked away by the attack, fell to the ground, and temporarily lost their ability to resist.

The Aburame clan ninjas were brought under Madara Uchiha's control. Countless parasitic insects swarmed out from his sleeves, resembling monsters with gaping maws, and devoured the nearby ninjas...

In just a few seconds, the ninja enveloped by the parasitic insects lost all his chakra and collapsed to the ground.

"you……"

The group of people looked stunned, completely unaware that the mole was right beside them.

Protected by the ribs of Susanoo, Madara Uchiha slowly approached Danzo Shimura, his footsteps echoing in the passage. Danzo Shimura's expression gradually changed.

The Mangekyou Sharingan glowed crimson, and the illusory ribs resembled flickering will-o'-the-wisps as a figure exuded an oppressive aura slowly approached...

The scene before him instantly awakened Shimura Danzo's memories, and his fear rapidly increased, making him extremely urge to escape.

However, before he could take any action, he felt an invisible force enter his mind.

'Illusion?!'

Danzo Shimura, whose eye socket contained a Mangekyou Sharingan, was immediately startled. If it weren't for the strange sensation coming from his Mangekyou Sharingan, Danzo Shimura would not have noticed that Madara Uchiha had already launched an attack.

'As expected of the Mangekyou Sharingan…'

Without the slightest hesitation, Shimura Danzo immediately abandoned his subordinates and turned to flee.

"Huh~"

Madara Uchiha was somewhat surprised; it was unexpected that Danzo Shimura had not been controlled.

Although his Mangekyou Sharingan is not the type that excels in genjutsu, the genjutsu he casts is not something that ordinary people can resist.

In his view, the seemingly weak Shimura Danzo could not possibly resist his illusions.

"Something interesting."

The unexpected situation piqued Madara Uchiha's curiosity, and he immediately formed hand seals to use the Wood Clone Technique to create a bunch of "Madara Uchiha".

One "Uchiha Madara" chased after the fleeing Shimura Danzo, while the rest of the "Uchiha Madara" followed the main body to search for the warehouse in the Root organization's base.

No key? No problem. Susanoo can smash the warehouse door with a single punch.

A few minutes later, Madara Uchiha had just emptied a warehouse when he saw his clone carrying a person towards him. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Danzo Shimura, who had escaped.

Upon arriving near Madara Uchiha, the Wood Clone threw Danzo Shimura to the ground.

"Have you gotten any information about the warehouse?"

Madara Uchiha ignored Danzo Shimura, who had fallen to the ground, and turned his gaze to the wood clone.

"We found out. Some of them are inside Konoha Village, and some are outside Konoha Village," the Wood Clone replied.

"That sounds like a lot."

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha, who had already looted a warehouse belonging to the Root Organization, was somewhat surprised. He knew that the warehouse contained many valuable items, and he had assumed that the items there represented more than half of Danzo Shimura's wealth...

But unexpectedly... the valuables in this storeroom were only a tiny fraction of all of Shimura Danzo's possessions.

How could an organization established for only a few decades be wealthier than the Uchiha clan, which has a history spanning over a thousand years?!

'That's outrageous!'
