Red sand dust

When the ninjas of the "Root" organization who suffered heavy losses brought back the battle situation on the front line and reported it to the leader Shimura Danzo, the "accident" that happened in private was long over.

After regaining the image of a cold and stern man with half of his body bound by bandages, the "Darkness of the Ninja World" had almost been changed inside. He gave orders to his subordinates, sent others away, and dominated his action pattern. , and then walked out of the darkness.

She has long, straight hair that is light chestnut and slightly orange, with Kurama Yakumo hanging at the waist casually tied at the end. She is dressed in a light pink outfit, wearing a expensive Jinhaori that doesn't look cheap at first sight. She is holding a lightweight sketchbook in her left hand, and her right hand is free. Holding the brush, he frowned slightly and looked at Shimura Danzo, whose eyes were blank.

No matter how dissatisfied the Konoha ninja clan is with this senior who controls the "root" organization, he is the best choice in terms of strength and character as he is a student of the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama. Otherwise, he would not be able to covet the throne of Hokage. Bit.

He is strong-willed, has excellent ninjutsu, and is not weak in blood succession, but he seems a little weak when he encounters the unreasonable Nagato.

The seemingly old body is even better than a jounin in his prime. He is attacked by nano poisonous insects and can even resist the damage of poisonous poison. The vitality provided by the first-generation cells is constantly restoring the consumed chakra and physical strength.

No wonder that many years of hidden injuries can be completely healed due to the transplantation of first-generation cells, and even improve to the next level and become stronger.

As long as he doesn't die on the spot, or the imbalance of yin and yang causes the Sharingan and Hashirama cells to backfire, Shimura Danzo will most likely be able to survive.

This man who has devoted half his life to "darkness" and would rather stay in the deep underground to protect Konoha Village in the name of "root" is not entirely without merit.

Even in such a dangerous situation, Yamafaze's spiritual magic, the Heart Turning Technique, almost failed to control him. In the end, Kurama Yakumo had to give him a helping hand.

If it weren't for the many hidden dangers of foreign organs and cells being transplanted into the body, Shimura Danzo would have to spend a lot of time maintaining balance, and I'm afraid the strength he could unleash would be even greater.

He was able to ascend to the position of Acting Hokage with force, and his reputation was indeed not in vain. He was completely qualified in terms of strength and ability. He was much more powerful than Chojuro and his like who would come later.

"What a terrible and ambitious guy. He can still afford the title of 'Darkness of the Ninja World', but..."

Kurama Yakumo chuckled and said,

"Today's ninja world where 'monsters' rule is really not suitable for an 'orthodox' villain like you. The strength and structure are still slightly lacking. I have really been in a dark corner for a long time, so I can't see a more glorious future." …”

What a person does will create a special atmosphere around them, and at the same time, they will also be reflected on the people who are in it.

A person's life is about making constant choices. You can't be sure that you will get everything you want, but in reality, you probably won't get what you want.

A sentence, a few seconds of deviation, and a lifetime to make up for it are not enough.

"If you were a truly desperate and unscrupulous careerist, you might have succeeded a long time ago, but you still insist on the pride of Konoha ninja. How could you succeed? In this troubled world, the most ugly end is for the principled bad guys. Already..."

If you want to win, but also win beautifully, you really have to have some real skills, you have the right time, the right place, the right people, and everything. After all, the "Darkness of the Ninja World" has not broken the shackles of being a Konoha ninja.

Sighing, Kurama Yakumo looked at Aburame Tori and Yamafaze, and curled his lips in disdain.

The so-called secret techniques of the ninja clan are flashy, but they may not be effective at critical moments. If Kurama Yakumo hadn't swept the formation, Shimura Danzo would have been able to escape, whether it was an illusion - other gods, or a forbidden technique - Ixie Naqi is a big trouble.

The so-called insect envoys either tame insects, control them, or use insects as tools to help the body break through the limits, or they go one step further and take the "non-human" taboo route of merging insects and humans.

On the surface, the Yamanaka family has gone down the road of assisting ninjas.

Is this how spiritual magic is used?

In Kurama Yakumo's view, this is simply a matter of choosing sesame seeds over watermelons. He obviously has great prospects, but he is self-restrained and integrated into the combat distribution system of Konoha Village, losing his independence.

The "Pig, Deer, Butterfly" combination, etc., it's good to join a group to keep warm when you are weak, but when you become stronger, you should be self-reliant, with me as the main one, and give full play to the advantages of illusion and spiritual magic.

Aburame's path to get the roots was even more complicated. The poisonous nanopest with shocking side effects could only be used as a dispensable tool, and all her skills were wasted.

After giving orders to the two of them to eliminate potential suspects and take charge of daily affairs, Kurama Yakumo began to focus on Shimura Danzo, who no longer had an independent will.

To control the entire "root" organization, this "puppet" will be needed to cooperate in the future.

Daimaru and Kurama Yakumo join forces, and with Shimura Danzo's ability, they cannot break free.

The problem is not without problems. The balance between the Sharingan transplanted on the right arm and the first-generation cells is quite fragile. The pressure on Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan in the right eye socket is also not small.

With Danzo Shimura's own will being sealed, the suppression of these "foreign cells" that are ready to move is somewhat ineffective. The risk of losing control is always there and will become bigger in the future, so we must find a way to solve it.

While Kurama Yakumo controlled the "Darkness of the Ninja World" to hibernate and heal, and initially stabilized the "root" organization, Daimaru was pondering some bolder possibilities.

For example, Tsunade's chakra and stamina were exhausted, and even the Yin Seal's years of accumulation were also contributed.

Due to a serious overdraft, even if he did not die, he would fall into a long coma and recovery period afterwards. This also gave Shimura Danzo the opportunity to ascend to the position of acting Hokage.

"If Jiraiya is also seriously injured or on the verge of death, will Shimura Danzo still have a chance to successfully reach the summit?" 』

In fact, even if Jiraiya is fine and there are other people who support him in taking the position, he will most likely refuse based on his personal temperament.

What plays a key role in this is whether there are other candidates for Hokage.

Before Danzo Shimura's evil deeds were exposed, he was still a very prestigious advisor to the elders of Konoha Village. However, he gave the impression that he was too seriously injured in the early wars, and he always showed his sickly body in front of others with a "bandage disguise". This time " The Akatsuki organization attacked, and Shimura Danzo led the "Root" organization to attack without permission, but returned defeated and seriously injured. It is estimated that some people have already known about it.

The old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled were all accounted for. At least now, that's how the Konoha villagers, including most of the ninjas, viewed him.

How many people would support him in such an embarrassing situation?

After sleeping together, Koharu and Mito Kadoyan may, for the sake of their years of friendship, acquiesce in Shimura Danzo's actions, and they can't count on the rest.

At first, Daimaru penetrated the "tentacles" into the 'root' tissue, but he never thought that it would come in handy at this critical moment.

The opportunity to take control of Konoha Village was just around the corner. Daimaru thought about it over and over again, and found that the matter was still feasible, but...

"The risk is too high, and the consequences of being discovered are extremely serious. Moreover, if successful, it may not be of much use..."

Does controlling a village of shadows mean controlling the entire ninja village?

Not necessarily, Uchiha Obito controlled the fourth generation of Mizukage Yagura, acted in reverse, and was finally ousted by Terumi Mei.

It is definitely necessary to place key chess pieces in important positions. Even if Shimura Danzo is controlled to become Hokage, it may not be able to make Konoha Village act according to Daimaru's wishes.

In addition, Uchiha Sasuke, who is about to have a decisive battle with Uchiha Itachi and awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, will soon seek revenge from Shimura Danzo.

"The future is unpredictable, but..."

Daimaru, whose eyes were gradually wandering, didn't even pay much attention to Tiandao, who was supported by a large amount of chakra, and once again used the Earth Blast Star with all his strength, intending to seal the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, Uzumaki Naruto, who was gradually losing control.

…

In the cradle garden, the flower garden where the setting sun shines slantingly, through the projection water screen in front of you, you can see the remnant soul of Fuyi watching what is happening in Konoha Village, and chatting with Xiyan who comes back to rest intermittently as usual.

"Are you really not going to take this opportunity to resurrect? This is a good opportunity. As long as you ask, my father will definitely find a way..."

It is quite troublesome and dangerous to perform the Reincarnation in the Dirty Land, but the remnant soul of Fuyi has not gone to the Pure Land at all. Even the corpse is now well preserved. According to Daimaru's prediction, the heretic - the resurrection of the reincarnation art is wise, probably It is the dual recognition of body and soul.

Not long after death, if the soul lingers and the death is incomplete, this quite unnatural resurrection technique will be triggered. The "dirty earth body" is an incomplete resurrection, but it also has the beacon of both body and soul. It should be in this technique. within the target range.

The same is true for Fu Yi. When the time comes, if the remnant soul appears within the scope of the heretic art of reincarnation, it may be able to be resurrected directly without being summoned into a dirty earth body.

And those corpses that have been dead for many years, their souls have rested, and their bodies have no signs of life, cannot be resurrected.

If not, in the area of ​​Konoha Village, countless people have been buried here for countless years. If they are all resurrected, what will happen to them?

Daimaru also hinted to Fu Yi that if there is an opportunity, it can be arranged.

Unfortunately, Fu Yi didn't have much interest.

"forget it!"

The old-fashioned Remnant Soul, who shook his head slightly, replied,

"If I really had an unfulfilled wish, I wouldn't have committed suicide in the first place. I didn't die unexpectedly, but committed suicide..."

"However, the fourth generation of Kazekage and the Burning Release are about to return to the world. Don't you want to compete with them again? The grudges of the past are not beyond our power, but because the current situation is such that human power cannot be undone..."

Fu Yi's eyes lit up, but after thinking about it, he still refused.

"Even if we start over, what can we fight for? Ye Cang and Luo Sha are arranged to be very tight. Daimaru will not give them a chance to perform beyond the required abilities..."

To put it bluntly, he is just a puppet with a little autonomy, a tool man who is forced to contribute his strength and intelligence. Even if Fu Yi is resurrected, the ending will not be much better.

"Maybe I'm still useful, but not much anymore..."

The experienced Fuyi knew very well that while he was alive, his greatest capital was the military exploits he had accumulated over the years. He had trained a large number of subordinates and supporters throughout the Ninja Village.

Now, Fu Yi has been dead for a long time, and the forces that once surrounded Fu Yi have disappeared.

Even if he is resurrected, Fu Yi must appear with a new identity and start everything over again.

After working hard for many years, he was getting older, and a new generation of sand ninja had grown up, so it was no longer Fuyi's turn to suffer because of his old age and frailty.

The era belonging to that generation has passed. Luo Sha and Ye Cang are still of great use due to their combat prowess and years of experience in taking charge of the overall situation and charging into battle. Fu Yi's specialty of enchantment requires a team of mutual trust to be effective.

Rather than placing hope in an uncontrollable future, it is better to teach younger generations their skills through Cradle Garden’s external “merit redemption interface” and “immersive experience”.

"That's it!"

He responded with a smile,

"In fact, the current resurrection technique in the ninja world, the most widely used ninja reincarnation technique, was born to learn the lost ninjutsu from the predecessors and serve as an experimental target..."

Why is the forbidden mode of Forbidden Technique: Reincarnation in the Dirty Land so bad in its early version that it has so many side effects and is so unsuitable for controlling battles?

Because this was originally the study of auxiliary ninjutsu, it was improved by Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto to balance multiple functions, and it gradually became what it is now.

Fu Yi's remnant soul did not go to the Pure Land, but played the role of a "carrying grandfather" or an "elder who teaches martial arts", which is still in line with the original intention.

It's just that it's a pity after all.

Luo Sha and Ye Cang were reincarnated by dirty soil, which shows that they still want to be resurrected. Just like the "Summoning of Heroic Spirits", they have no wishes themselves. No matter how suitable the sacrifice is, they can't channel the real owner.

As for Fu Yi, most likely he really has no strong desire to be resurrected.

While the two figures, one large and one small, were watching the "live broadcast" and chatting, Kurama Yakumo's spiritual clone followed the spiritual path left behind and once again came to the cradle garden that was floating in the turbulence of time and space.

This time, there was no obstruction from Miss Saya, and Daimaru personally invited him in with a ray of spiritual thought.

Above the sunset courtyard transformed from the "portrait" that was once given away, a small bird with nine feathers and a dark tengu warrior listened to the conversation between Fu Yi and Xi Yan.

"He is a character, but it is a pity that he was born at the wrong time..."

Kurama Yakumo was very polite in his evaluation of Fuyi.

Daimaru responded softly:

"Three consecutive disastrous defeats in the Ninja World War, coupled with the blow of the 'Konoha Collapse Plan', Sunagakure Village has not been wiped out, and there are still some talents..."

"Stop talking about this, Shimura Danzo, what are you going to do?"

Kurama Yakumo asked with interest,

"I'm afraid you didn't expect to control him at this time, otherwise, you wouldn't have let me come to patrol to help! It just so happened that I saw something interesting..."

Shimura Danzo's own value is acceptable, but what the two are discussing now is the possible impact of his status as an advisor elder.
