Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

Or are we going to rely on the Uchiha clan?

That's unlikely. It's improbable that Uchiha Homura would risk the extermination of his clan to attack Konoha Prison for Kirito, an outsider.

Could it be that Kirito has already built up a huge force outside, enough to carry out the mission of attacking Konoha Prison and killing Danzo?

But is that even possible?

"This doesn't require Lady Momoka or the Senju clan to intervene. I just need your secret support to prevent other Konoha ninja clans from causing trouble."

Kirito said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Tao Hua's heart skipped a beat, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

This kid's serious.

"Tell me your confidence level: how confident are you in eliminating Danzo?"

Momoka stared blankly at Kirito for a few seconds, then swallowed hard and asked.

“As long as no one causes trouble, killing Danzo is not a problem.”

To boost Momoka's confidence, Kirito gave an affirmative answer.

Seeing how confident Kirito was, Momoka didn't immediately agree. She remained silent, calculating the risks involved.

"Lady Momoka, Nawaki is still in danger. As long as Danzo is not eliminated, Nawaki will continue to face threats from the roots. Danzo must be eliminated as soon as possible. I am not doing this entirely for my own sake. I promised my teacher that I would protect Nawaki."

Kirito sighed as he watched Momoka hesitate to give a reply.

Upon hearing this, Tao Hua was startled and instantly realized her mistake.

Kirito was already taking a huge risk to kill Danzo in order to help Nawaki, but she was hesitant and indecisive, which was clearly inappropriate.

Moreover, Kirito is right. As long as Danzo is not eliminated, Nawaki will continue to face threats from the roots.

To ensure the safety of the Rope Tree, the Senju clan should do everything in their power.

"I understand. The Senju clan will do everything in its power to help you kill Danzo. On the day you make your move, the Senju clan will not let you fight alone."

Once Tao Hua realized her mistake, she no longer hesitated and immediately gave an accurate answer.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Lady Momoka. This matter is of utmost importance and must not be leaked. Also, don't mention it to Tsunade for now."

Kirito, seeing that Momoka had agreed, gave her a reminder.

When Momoka heard Kirito mention Tsunade, her expression changed, and then she nodded and said, "I understand. I will personally explain to Tsunade after this is over."

"What are your plans regarding the Uchiha clan?"

Then, her expression turned serious, and she asked.

The White Fang team not only includes Kirito and Nawaki, but also Chizuru, Homura Uchiha's granddaughter. Moreover, Homura Uchiha has been suppressed by Danzo's Root organization for the past ten years or so. There is no reason not to let the Uchiha clan contribute to the attack on Konoha Prison to eliminate Danzo.

"Of course, they should also do their part."

Kirito answered with a smile.

If we were to say who would benefit the most from eliminating Danzo, it would definitely be the Uchiha clan. Without Danzo's roots, they would be a disorganized mess and would no longer pose any significant threat to the Uchiha clan.

"That old fox Uchiha Homura is not easy to fool, and there are many spies within the Uchiha clan, so he is not trustworthy."

When Momoka saw that Kirito was indeed going to involve the Uchiha clan in this matter, she immediately gave him a warning.

She still hadn't told Kirito that Madara Uchiha was still alive.

This was something Mito specifically instructed her to do, to wait until Kirito came of age or became a Kage-level powerhouse before telling him this ultimate secret.

But now that Kirito wants to get the Uchiha clan together to get rid of Danzo, she has to leak a little bit of information.

"I know that Danzo has spies within the Uchiha clan, but Uchiha Homura should know about these spies, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

Kirito said nonchalantly.

"The traitors I'm referring to aren't just Danzo's; there are also people from the Third Generation, and possibly other forces as well."

Tao Hua further reminded her.

"The Third Hokage, other forces, this other forces, does she mean Uchiha Madara?"

Upon hearing Momoka's very subtle reminder, Kirito immediately thought of Madara Uchiha, the sixth son of the family, who was second only to Black Zetsu, and was quite surprised.

Tao Hua's current attitude clearly indicates that she does not intend to tell him who this other force is.

So he didn't ask any further questions and nodded, saying, "I understand, I'll be careful."

After reaching a consensus, the two continued to discuss the details of the operation to eliminate Danzo, striving to make it as seamless as possible and minimize resistance to the operation.

Half an hour later, Kirito's soul clone left Momoka's room and re-entered the White Zetsu clone underground outside the room, quickly leaving the Senju clan's territory.

At that moment, Tsunade, who had been fast asleep in the room, opened her eyes and murmured, "The aura of Wood Release..."

……

It was past three in the morning when Uchiha Homura was still awake. He was talking to a blue ninja cat in his room.

"Tom, didn't your master tell you anything else to tell me?"

Uchiha Homura asked seriously.

Kirito's summoning beast, the ninja cat Tom, scratched his chin with his paw and shook his head, saying, "No, Kirito instructed me to give this scroll to you."

Then, he suddenly remembered something and said with anticipation, "Oh right, he said he could let me ask you for the best brand of dried fish and Mutianliao drinks."

"You said that yourself, didn't you?"

Uchiha Homura thought to himself.

However, after hearing what Tom said, he knew that Kirito really had nothing else for Tom to say to him.

"Eliminating Danzo is indeed a good thing, but it won't be easy for the Uchiha clan to secretly mobilize manpower to assist him. If things go wrong, they might be discovered by the Root and Anbu, and the Uchiha clan could be labeled as traitors."

As Uchiha Homura looked at the contents of the scroll, he felt both delighted and secretly distressed.

Regardless of the circumstances, eliminating Danzo is a good thing for the Uchiha clan. It would be unreasonable for the Uchiha clan not to contribute to this matter, otherwise it would be difficult for them to get a share of the pie from Kirito in the future.

As for whether he could kill Danzo, Homura Uchiha didn't even consider it, because he believed Kirito had the ability.

He knew that the mysterious samurai had killed Kakuzu.

There happened to be a ninja cat present when the two were fighting.

He also knew that this mysterious warrior had forcefully annihilated the elite Skull Squad of the Root.

According to his analysis, this mysterious warrior is very likely a member of the Night Organization.

Kirito holds a very high position within the Night Organization, and if this mysterious samurai is indeed a member of the Night Organization, he is likely Kirito's subordinate or collaborator.

If Kirito were to have the mysterious samurai cooperate with the Senju and Uchiha clans to eliminate Danzo from within, the feasibility would be extremely high.

To be honest, as long as the Uchiha clan is willing to go all out, Danzo is nothing.

Even Uchiha Homura alone was enough to deal with Danzo.

Unfortunately, despite his strength, he was hampered by various reasons and unable to decisively eliminate Danzo, this scourge.

It is actually a very good thing that Danzo has been eliminated by a mysterious samurai who has nothing to do with Konoha. Konoha does not have to worry about internal strife, and it can even enhance the unity within Konoha and generate a sense of shared hatred against a common enemy.

"Go back and tell your master that the Uchiha clan will definitely attend on time."

After a moment of silence, Homura Uchiha took a deep breath and spoke to Tom.

"What about my dried fish and Mutianliao beverage?"

Tom looked at Uchiha Homura with sparkling eyes.

A few minutes later, Tom happily left the Uchiha clan with a bag of dried fish in his mouth.

At the same time, one by one, the ninja cats silently left Uchiha Homura's house. They eventually left Konoha and went to various places in the ninja world.

……

Two days later, around noon, a huge crimson bird was flying rapidly high in the sky above the desert of the Land of Wind. On it stood four ninjas, one big and three small. Except for one of the youngest ninjas who was standing, the other three were lying on the bird, cautiously looking at the sky below.

They were the White Fang Squad, currently using Kirito's Suzaku puppet to search for Sunagakure's transport unit in the air.

Because Konoha repeatedly organized sniper squads to disrupt Sunagakure's supply lines, causing huge losses to Sunagakure, the already resource-scarce Sunagakure had to handle material transportation in an extremely secretive manner.

Instead of using a fixed large force for transportation, they opted for a guerrilla tactic, employing highly mobile and stealthy ninjas to transport supplies using storage-type sealing scrolls of various capacities.

Furthermore, Sunagakure dispatched a large number of people to confuse the enemy.

Therefore, if the Konoha ninja wanted to cut off the Sunagakure's supply lines, they had to find these Sunagakure ninjas who carried storage-type sealing scrolls in the vast desert.

This is undoubtedly a very difficult thing.

This vast sea of ​​sand is no ordinary desert; it is the Devil's Desert, known as a death trap for humankind. Not only is it easy to lose your way, but it is also home to a large number of terrifying creatures, and finding water here is extremely difficult.

In other words, Kirito possesses the flying puppet Suzaku, which allows him to ignore most dangers in the desert and use his powerful sensory abilities to locate enemies.

However, the Suzaku puppet's flight requires a considerable amount of chakra. Even with five chakra scrolls containing Jonin-level chakra inside, plus the humanoid power bank that is Nawaki, the flight time can only last for about an hour.

Before setting off, Kirito would not have dared to use the Suzaku puppet to travel, firstly because it would expose the Suzaku puppet, and secondly because it would cause him to lose a trump card that could save his life in a critical moment.

Only after shaking off the enemy's pursuit did he dare to use the Vermilion Bird puppet freely in this desolate desert.

The vast desert gave Kirito a benefit in terms of perception: he could clearly identify who was following them, unlike in the Land of Rain, where many enemies who knew his soul perception could hide, making it difficult for him to distinguish between those who were just passing by and those who were enemies.

The Land of Wind is vast, but over 90% of it is uninhabited desert.

Therefore, in this desert, if someone appears within his perception range and actively moves towards him, they are undoubtedly an enemy.

The enemies who followed him clearly understood this principle, and so far, Kirito has not found any enemies actively approaching him.

"Found them. The Sand Village's presence was spotted at the two o'clock and six o'clock positions, at a distance of 500 meters and 600 meters respectively. Their strength was Jonin and Elite Chunin respectively."

Kirito, who was standing on the Suzaku puppet, suddenly opened his eyes and spoke.

"Very good, I'll take care of the enemy at the two o'clock position this time."

Upon hearing Kirito's words, Nawaki immediately stood up excitedly and said with a smile.

The winds are very strong at high altitudes, especially in the deserts of the Land of Winds.

Just as Rope Tree stood up, a strong gust of wind suddenly appeared, and Rope Tree was blown off the Vermilion Bird puppet and began to fall freely.

Rope Tree wasn't afraid of this, because he had experienced quite a few things like this in the past few days.

Just as he was about to fall to the ground from a great height, a chakra thread caught him and he finally stopped in the air, more than ten meters above the ground.
