He was in Konoha, and his domineering aura was overflowing.

The thought that his hard-earned wealth had been blown to smithereens by some unknown person, and that he had been summoned by the monkey and given a severe scolding, made Danzo feel as if a thin layer of black silk had been draped over his heart.

What's most heartbreaking is the loss of talented people.

Those researchers, though not as brilliant as Orochimaru, were among the few who made a living with their brains, and losing even one of them was painful. And then there were the ninjas in the base; several of them were recruited by him through 'hard work' from various sources.

Not only did we suffer a loss for nothing, but we also had to ask for the person back later.

Compensation?

What kind of compensation?

They've already gone to the village, so they must be aiming to contribute to the village. Being able to sacrifice themselves for the village and become an unsung hero is already a great blessing. How can they still want compensation?

I can tell at a glance that you are a spy from another ninja village. Hurry up and come to my Root to explain.

In short, although that base wasn't the only one in Root, it was an important base where Orochimaru could conduct research. Now that such a commotion had occurred, and Hiruzen Sarutobi was using it as an opportunity to target him in order to appease the ninja clan, it was truly frustrating for him.

The chances of getting the four-tailed fox are even lower now.

Danzo was very clear about the existence of the Tailed Beasts.

As long as Mito Uzumaki is alive, he will never be able to touch the Nine-Tails, and even if Mito Uzumaki passes away, the monkeys and the others will not stand by and watch him do something to the Nine-Tails.

He was unwilling to accept that a powerful force, so close yet out of his control, was still at his fingertips.

Therefore, they had already decided to wait until Mizuto Uzumaki was a hundred years old before they would compete with the monkey!

He can't beat Mito Uzumaki, but can't he beat crickets and monkeys?

He's determined to get the Four-Tails!

Even the Third Hokage couldn't stop him, he said!

However, there is a matter that is more important than the four tails.

The Four-Tails Jinchuriki was already a powerhouse comparable to a Kage, yet he was still captured alive by Gozen. According to reports from the ninjas who followed him that day, Gozen almost completely overpowered the Four-Tails Jinchuriki throughout the entire process, and even the famous Konoha White Fang, Hatake Sakumo, could only assist him from the sidelines.

Putting aside the unreasonable and domineering nature of Isogen, what is most striking is the technique he uses.

Whether it's the gathering and dispersing of the current or the explosive technique that turns human body parts into explosive tags, neither of these are recorded in Konoha.

The former is of immeasurable value and is suitable for individuals. But the latter is what he cares about more.

Konoha doesn't lack cannon fodder, it lacks capable cannon fodder.

Imagine this: on the battlefield, your side is at a disadvantage and on the verge of defeat, when suddenly a white light flashes during an ordinary exchange, instantly turning the enemy to ashes.

The ninja who used this technique only lost his life, but Konoha won the victory!

Besides this idea, his extraordinary wisdom also connected it to a forbidden technique that had been developed, briefly shone brightly, and then been shelved!

Reincarnation in the filth world!

Combine multiplicative explosive tags!

The two techniques were designed to work together from the beginning of their development, but the explosive tags cost money, while the human body is cheap.

In particular, many of the recent research projects require massive amounts of funding, but the Ninja World War has only ended a year ago, and local conflicts continue. Konoha needs money in every aspect, so he can only pass through the funds given by Hiruzen Sarutobi to support his own career.

only……

His brows furrowed, the wrinkles so deep they could pinch a person, as he pondered deeply.

Unfortunately, this technique was in the hands of Isogen. If it were any ninja clan in Konoha, he would personally visit them, explaining the situation with reason and emotion, and letting them know that this was a rare opportunity for him to make a great contribution to Konoha.

But when it comes to the fifty strings of the song that Mito Uzumaki values ​​so highly, all I can do is appeal to his emotions and reason.

The most crucial person is Isogen.

Danzo recalled the fifty strings of the zither from back then, weak,

Their strength has improved so rapidly in just one year.

If you say there's no cat involved, well, even Jiraiya, that fool who got crippled by the toad, wouldn't believe it.

"Could it be the Senju clan scattered among the people? Or the bloodline of some other ninja clan?" Danzo muttered to himself.

How could ordinary people have come this far?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Just as a lion surveying its territory, the Fifty Strings of Songs suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

That feeling just now... something's not right!

Someone is thinking about me.

Having high Yin and Yang attributes brings good fortune in all aspects of life, such as a sixth sense.

The sixth sense is real, especially among ninjas, who are considered a group of extraordinary individuals. In the ninja world, there are even claims that powerful ninjas can foresee their own death.

In just one second, the fifty strings locked onto the target.

Danzo, you old dog!

When faced with indecisiveness, people blindly gamble everything on Tuanzang.

The ninja world is full of conflicts, and Danzo Shimura is responsible for half of them.

Moreover, since it's Konoha territory, there's no doubt it's Danzo.

What a scoundrel, Shimura Danzo! I only blew up one of your important bases and you dare to talk bad about me behind my back! You really don't know your place!

Uchiha Police Department!

As soon as they stepped into the police department gate, Yuuka Igarashi and Mizuki Hyuga saw Uchiha Genjima and Uchiha Aoen surrounded by a group of people.

"Twenty million! Twenty million! How long will it take me to earn that much money!" someone wailed.

"This is outrageous! We were all compatriots on the same starting line before, but you've quietly fallen out of rank. No way! You have to treat us!"

"Sigh, I was supposed to go on that mission too, but something came up and I had to switch with someone else. Ah!!"

The police department was in chaos, filled with envious chatter about the members who had participated in the mission.

Even for the Uchiha clan, 20 million is a huge sum of money.

A ninja's money is earned through treacherous acts; accumulating such a large sum requires not only time but also a sufficient number of monsters.

Uchiha Genjima stood proudly in the crowd, head held high.

"This is the life-giving glycoside. Once it's activated, no one can stop it."

If he were just an ordinary Konoha ninja, he wouldn't dare to flaunt such a large sum of money.

But he carries the name of the Uchiha clan, so I'm sorry.

Although the Uchiha brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunts are all family and have a close relationship, it's only fun to show off in front of familiar people!

Haha, envy me, be jealous of me, watch me swim happily in the ocean of money!

Just then, a soft cough rang out, not loud, but it drowned out the noise of the entire police department.

"Isogen-kun." Uchiha Hisajima's expression turned serious as he took the initiative to greet him.

This young Jonin from the Uchiha clan was completely convinced of Isogen's abilities.

He didn't mention the matter of awakening the three-tomoe jade with a slap, since he had already forgotten about it.

The strength that Isogen displayed during the mission alone was enough to inspire genuine respect from the Uchiha who saw him.

The Uchiha clan's underlying code of respecting the strong is fully displayed.

The Uchiha who knew part of the process from their words watched quietly, waiting for Isogen to return and give orders.

As Ishigaki's gaze swept over them, those whose eyes were swept over instinctively stood at attention.

A moment later, Wu Xian slowly raised his left hand, index finger pointing upwards.

"There are 20 million people who follow me to complete a mission, so how much do those who actually do things for me get?"

A brief moment of quiet.

"Oh!!"

A tremendous volume, seemingly intent on tearing the ceiling off, suddenly erupted.

Uchiha Genjiro and Uchiha Seien exchanged a glance, their eyes practically overflowing with joy and admiration.

"..." Fugaku Uchiha, who had watched the whole thing from outside the door, twitched at the corner of his mouth.

For the first time, he questioned the family's decision to allow Isogen to join the police department.

This scene doesn't look right from any angle, does it?

Because of the backwardness of the ninja world, Fugaku was unaware of the existence of a vortex called pyramid schemes in this world, but he felt vaguely uneasy about the atmosphere among the young clansmen in the police department.

The Uchiha clan has always respected the strong, and the police department is mostly made up of young clan members. However, Yuuka Isogai, who is stronger than them, is also younger than them.

Just then, Isogen broke free from the excited crowd and faced Uchiha Fugaku directly.

"Captain Fugaku, I've heard that the Uchiha clan knows quite a few ninja tool merchants."

Suppressing his thoughts, Uchiha Fugaku nodded: "Do you need to replenish ninja tools? The police department can reimburse the ninja tools used in these missions."

"I want to buy 50 million taels of explosive tags."

"Okay, I understand. I'll fill out the form in a bit... A little something extra?!"

Uchiha Fugaku turned up the volume.

Chapter 61 The Initial Formation of the Team

Entrusting Uchiha Fugaku with the task of handling the explosive tags, Igarashi rushed to the Ninja Academy.

As one of the ninja clans' windows to the outside world, all the ninja clans send their chosen successors to the ninja academy for training.

They are the target of the Fifty Strings.

After all, as the offspring of an important figure in the family, even if they don't know everyone in the clan, they generally know who everyone is.

Danzo the Cricket also wanted to select people from the ninja clans to supplement their forces.

Ya Shi La Lei.

Ninja School.

Inspired by the will of the Fifty Strings, young people from various ninja clans at the Ninja Academy gathered to attend.

Nara Shikaku, who had tripped and fallen in excitement, sighed helplessly with bruises around his eyes.

What is he going to do now?

For the first time, even the renowned Sannin Jiraiya was harmed.

The second time, the ninja academy transformed from a cradle for children's growth into a small battlefield.

Incidentally, the former Uchiha chief who led the Uchiha clan to dominate the Ninja Academy has already graduated ahead of schedule.

In just two times, the Ninja Academy underwent a dramatic transformation.

That doesn't even include the changes outside. I heard he joined the police department, and then the police department changed its law enforcement methods.

Uchiha Kazuyoshi, a merchant who normally pays taxes and makes purchases, is pleased with himself, but he only needs to pay a fraction of a tael less.

With his lifeless eyes rolled back, Nara Shikaku recalled the merchant whose door was broken into by the police after he failed to pay three hundred taels.

Three hundred taels, that's all. It's not even enough to buy a bowl of ramen, but you get to enjoy the service of an Uchiha Jonin breaking down the door.

The most fatal flaw was that the Uchiha clan, who previously held the power to set the rules, remained inactive, incurring the villagers' criticism for no reason.

Ever since that guy on stage went into the police department, hey, they've got it.

'So why give such important power to the Uchiha?' Nara Shikaku thought to himself, but smiled broadly on the surface.

Because the fiftieth string started talking.

He remembered that Fifty Strings had said that.
