Chapter 13
It seems that we still have to rely on the elders of Konoha to open up the situation. With the ability of White Zetsu to hide his breath and the secret technique of Mayfly, he can completely control Utane Koharu without alerting the Anbu.~
"Hiruzen has changed a lot since that incident. First it was Lake Biwa, and now it's Asuma's turn. Sigh~" Koharu Utane, who hadn't fallen asleep yet, flipped through the files in her hand and recalled the recent massacres.
Uchiha
Shinichi, dressed in black, emerged silently from the ground.
Hmm? There are actually three teams guarding around? As expected of an elder of Konoha, even if he is not in charge of the Root and the Anbu, the guards around him are not comparable to those of Asuma. Fortunately, he was cautious enough before and didn't rashly treat Koharu Utane as Asuma, otherwise he would probably be on his way to escape.
"By the way, with Asuma's previous personality, he shouldn't have done such a thing. This time, the situation is full of strangeness. It can change people's thinking and personality... Mangekyō? Uchiha Shisui! Kotoamatsukami!!!"
The figure of Uchiha Shisui, who was already determined to be dead, suddenly appeared in Koharu Utane's mind.
"Could it be that Asuma was hit by Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Eye Technique? Impossible, Uchiha Shisui is clearly dead, wait, his Mangekyō was preserved, it was that brat Uchiha Itachi! I didn't expect that this guy was so deep-minded at such a young age. Hiruzen and I were deceived by the evil brat Uchiha Itachi. No, we must inform Hiruzen."
Thinking of this, Utane Koharu didn't even plan to sleep, she got up and wanted to go out.
"Kotoamatsukami~"
Uchiha Shinichi, who had been prepared for a long time, was waiting for this moment. Utatane Koharu, who was only an elite jonin, was completely unprepared. Facing the sudden Kotoamatsukami, she had no room to resist at all. The whole process did not even alert the Anbu members guarding outside.
"Where is the body of Senju Hashirama stored?"
Looking at the respectful Utatane Koharu in front of him, Uchiha Shinichi felt secretly happy, but it was a pity that the control of the light of the other gods on Utatane Koharu was only temporary.
"Reporting to the Lord, the corpse of the First Hokage has been stored in the roots of Danzo for his research and development of Wood Release."The controlled Utatane Koharu did not resist at all and easily revealed such a secret. It must be said that Kotoamatsukami is really very perverted.
"Do you have the right to touch the body of the first Hokage? It would be best if you don't alert the Danzo and his men."
"This...
Several of us in the upper echelons have the right to touch the corpse of the Shodaime, but if we do it without a reason, it will definitely arouse suspicion.
I'm afraid that this is impossible.
Even Danzo touched the corpse of the Shodaime because he was researching Wood Release.
It's impossible for me to touch such things without any reason without being suspected.
"The implanted thought stamp, Koharu Utatane, began to think about the possibility of this from Uchiha Shinichi's perspective.
"Is that so? In other words, if you have a reason, you can get in touch with the corpse of the first generation, right?"
"That's right, but it's hard to find such an excuse right now. Orochimaru has already defected, the Wood Release plan has long been shelved, and at most Danzo is still exploring. Yan and I have long stopped caring about this matter."
"Then start with Orochimaru. As far as I know, during Orochimaru's Wood Release experiment, there was a successful case that was hidden by Danzo. Let's start with this successful case. You go and tell the Third Hokage about it. Then you can use it as an excuse to intervene in the Wood Release research and find a chance to contact the corpse of the First Hokage."
The assassination of the Third Hokage by Yamato should not have happened yet. Judging from the age comparison between Yamato and Kakashi, that should have happened after the Uchiha clan was exterminated.
"What? There is a successful case of Wood Release experiment? Danzo actually hid it from us. Damn it, we must inform Hiruzen about this. Wood Release cannot be controlled by Danzo alone.
Although he has turned to Uchiha Shinichi, the thinking logic of Utatane Koharu as an elder of Konoha is not much different from before.
"It's up to you. Help me arrange a guard identity. I'll have to stay with you for the next period of time."In order to avoid unexpected situations beyond my control, I can only watch over Koharu Utatane all the time. The temporary Kotoamatsukami is not as convenient as the permanent Kotoamatsukami. Unfortunately, the cooling time of the permanent Kotoamatsukami is too long.
"Got it. I will let the clan members cooperate with you. Then you can follow me as a ninja of the Utane clan. This way, you won't arouse suspicion from Hiruzen and the others."Utane Koharu figured out how to arrange Uchiha Shinichi's identity in a matter of minutes.
…………
Konoha, Hokage Office Building~
"What? Xiaochun, are you sure the news is accurate? Did Danzo really keep the results of Wood Release privately?"Damn, who is the black glove of whom? So I am the one who is covering for Danzo?
"It's absolutely correct. This is the information I confirmed after a long time of private investigation. The child who possesses Wood Release was named Jia by Danzo, and he should be able to use relatively low-level Wood Release Ninjutsu now."
Facing Sarutobi Hiruzen's questioning, Utane Koharu answered calmly. Although it was not glorious to investigate a companion privately, this was the profession of a ninja, not to mention that it was related to the Wood Release of the first generation. Everything he did was for Konoha.
"Danzo is getting more and more dishonest. I wanted to punish him for the Shisui incident, but I didn't expect him to keep the Wood Release secret. It seems that I can't indulge him anymore. Xiaochun, Yan, you guys come with me to the Root."
Other things don't matter, but the Wood Release must be controlled in one's own hands. Danzo already has the Root. If he is allowed to control the Wood Release, this powerful weapon, based on my understanding of this old guy, he may not be able to serve as the Dark of Konoha.
For the peace and stability of Konoha, Danzo, you better hand over the child named Jia.~
"Hiruzen, Jia is only the Wood Release master I have discovered so far, but you also know that scientific research is easy to replicate. Who knows if Danzo has any other achievements? So I think it is necessary to place someone other than him in Danzo's Root. An organization like the Root cannot be controlled by Danzo alone."
Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's intention to seize the Wood Release achievement, Utane Koharu took the opportunity to put forward her own opinion
"Hmm? What you said makes sense, Xiaochun. Even for the sake of Konoha's stability, the Root cannot be controlled by Danzo alone. I will split the Root into three parts, and you, Danzo, and En will each control one part."
