Chapter 586 I am Uchiha Madara
After being promoted from captain of the Anbu to captain, for Mu Yue, who had no subordinates, the only real feeling was that his office in the Anbu had become bigger.

Mu Yue now has a large office similar to Sarutobi Masashige's.

"Yamanaka Yoshiaki, Aoyama Hiromichi..." Mu Yue was flipping through the information on the perception ninja given by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Perhaps because the Yamanaka clan has been practicing special secret techniques for a long time, Mu Yue discovered that many ninjas of the Yamanaka clan have the talent for perception.

Mu Yue recalled the panel with the corresponding names and ticked the names of the ninjas he thought might have learned the Observation Haki ninja.

When Mu Yue was looking through the information, he skipped over all the perception ninjas whose last name was Hyuga.

Due to the existence of the Byakugan Bloodline Limit, strictly speaking, all members of the Hyuga clan can be Perceptive Ninjas.

There is nothing wrong with Obito and Shisui, who have the Sharingan, learning Observation Haki, because Observation Haki can not only be used as a perception ninjutsu but also can detect attacks beyond vision.

There is no need for this with the Byakugan, as the Byakugan itself has excellent perception of ninjutsu and also has a 360-degree field of view.

In most cases where abilities overlap, unless one has cultivated his Observation Haki to a certain level, Observation Haki is not very necessary for a ninja with Byakugan.

After selecting twenty people, Mu Yue asked the Anbu to send the list to Sarutobi Hiruzen for review.

Many of the ninjas he chose worked in different departments such as the Perception Class and Analysis Class. It was impossible for them to stop working and come to practice with Mu Yue just because Mu Yue said so. They had to follow procedures.

Moreover, with so many people, it would be troublesome for Mu Yue to notify them one by one by himself. After all, he is the captain of the Anbu.

However, Mu Yue estimated that the final number of people might be more than the twenty on his list.

First, there are ANBU members on the list, but no Root members. Danzo Shimura must also want his subordinates to master the ability of Observation Haki, so at least two or three of them must be included.

Then, if other senior executives or big families get wind of the news, they will most likely use their connections to get people in to study as much as possible.

After all, the ability to sense malice is really useful.

Things developed just as Mu Yue expected.

That night, Mu Yue received a message from Danzo Shimura, asking him to go to the Root Base.

"Mu Yue, why isn't any of our Root ninja on the list of Observation Haki training?" Danzo Shimura looked at Mu Yue with a gloomy face.

He didn't mention this matter to Mu Yue specifically last time because he felt that Mu Yue didn't need to be reminded and would definitely get it done.

Seeing the final result, Danzo Shimura felt betrayed.

Because Mu Yue's current situation is very special and she often spends more time in the Hokage's office than in the Root base, Danzo Shimura is very worried that Mu Yue's mind will be corrupted by the benefits given by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But Danzo Shimura had no choice, because what Sarutobi Hiruzen could give to Mu Yue was better and more than him.

Mu Yue showed a blank expression, "There is no Root Ninja on the list given to me by the Sandaime."

He guessed that maybe some of Shimura Danzo's secret actions had been discovered, or maybe Shimura Danzo had been too aggressive in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen recently, otherwise Sarutobi Hiruzen would not have been idle and deliberately attacking Shimura Danzo.

"What! Hiruzen actually..."

Danzo Shimura realized that he had wronged his admiral, and his expression instantly improved a lot.

Of course, the anger in Shimura Danzo's heart did not really disappear, it was even greater, but the target was not nearby and he could not release it.

In other words, it's time to get off work now, otherwise Danzo Shimura would have rushed to the Hokage's office to find Sarutobi Hiruzen to ask him about it.

"Mu Yue, this is a half-year's worth of training resources." Shimura Danzo abruptly changed the subject and handed a scroll to Mu Yue.

Although he had wronged Mu Yue, it was impossible for Danzo Shimura to apologize to his subordinates.

Because he felt that this would damage his dignity and affect his subordinates' obedience to him.

It would be a mess if someone thought that Danzo Shimura was easy to talk to.

Mu Yue responded with a few words and left.

He felt that Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi were doing fine the way they were now.

Let Sarutobi Hiruzen consume some of Shimura Danzo's energy, so that Shimura Danzo will not be full of energy and suddenly come up with some amazingly wise plans.

"It's becoming increasingly difficult for me to restrict him. I have to think of a way." After Mu Yue left, Danzo Shimura sat alone in the Root office with a frown on his face.

Facts have proved that Mu Yue did not betray him, it was Sarutobi Hiruzen who interfered.

But now Mu Yue has no curse mark on her body and has not been at the Root for a long time, so Shimura Danzo feels very insecure.

With Mu Yue's current strength, even if Mu Yue betrayed him and joined Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo would have no way to deal with Mu Yue and could only find opportunities to disgust Mu Yue.

"Should I let him participate in my cooperation with Orochimaru?" Danzo Shimura came up with a good idea.

The reason why he and Orochimaru cooperate so closely is not because they have a good relationship, but because both of them know too much about the other's shameful things.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen discovered everything they did, the best outcome would be life imprisonment.

If Mu Yue also gets involved, then Mu Yue and they will be in the same boat, and everyone will prosper and suffer together.

"He wants to develop Wood Release, and Hashirama's cells are our most important experiment." The more Danzo Shimura thought about it, the more he felt that this was feasible.

The only drawback of this plan is that Mu Yue might gradually get rid of his status as a subordinate and become a collaborator on an equal footing with him like Orochimaru.

This is also where Shimura Danzo is hesitant.

Even though Mu Yue was away from the Root for a long time, and even with Mu Yue's current identity and strength, he had no chance to issue tasks to Mu Yue.

But he was a subordinate at the level of a Sannin after all. If Danzo Shimura ignored the consequences, he could use Mu Yue to do a lot of things.

"You seem troubled. Do you have the urge to defecate?"

Just as Danzo Shimura was lost in deep thought, a voice that was unfamiliar but a little familiar to Danzo Shimura was heard in the office.

He quickly grabbed the kunai on the desk and looked forward. A man wearing a robe and a Uzumaki mask on his face appeared in the office at some point.

Danzo Shimura's expression remained unchanged, but a huge wave of emotions was rising in his heart.

"How did this guy manage to sneak into the Root base quietly, even into my office!"

You have to know that the level of security in his office is no less than that of the Hokage's office. If the other party can invade here without being discovered, it means that they can invade any place in Konoha.

"Who are you? How dare you invade my Konoha's secret location?" Danzo Shimura asked with a gloomy face as he secretly condensed his chakra.

Since the masked man did not attack, Danzo Shimura did not use any ninjutsu for the time being.

There are many confidential documents in his office, and it would be a big problem if they were destroyed.

The most important thing is that Danzo Shimura doesn't want to make a big fuss and attract Sarutobi Hiruzen. His most shameful things are not here, but there are still some things that cannot be discovered by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Haha, there is no place in this world that I, Uchiha Madara, cannot go." The masked man laughed strangely.

When Danzo Shimura heard what the masked man said, his pupils suddenly shrank and he became even more surprised.

He finally understood why he felt the other person's voice was a little familiar, because it was Uchiha Madara's voice!

Danzo Shimura was born before the establishment of Konoha, so he had seen Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.

"Uchiha Madara, he should have been killed by the Shodaime, why did he..."

"No, it's just a sound. It should be a disguise."

Danzo Shimura had also been the Hokage's assistant for many years and had seen many storms, so he quickly forced himself to calm down.

He didn't believe that the other party was Uchiha Madara, and thought that the other party was a disguised person with ulterior motives. After all, there were many strange and bizarre techniques in the ninja world, and disguising a voice was not too outrageous.

If Uchiha Madara was still alive, why didn't he take advantage of Senju Hashirama's death to attack Konoha?

Even if Uchiha Madara is still alive, so much time has passed, and he should be just an old man in his twilight years now, and it should not be easy to invade his roots.

"Uchiha Madara, you are not a Konoha ninja now. What is your purpose in coming to Konoha?" Danzo Shimura did not reveal the other party's identity, but continued talking.

It's just a name. Shimura Danzo didn't want to argue with him. He wanted to get the masked man's words. "You really want the inheritance of the Ninja Clan and the Samsara Eye." The masked man smiled at Shimura Danzo.

Danzo Shimura was shocked. He didn't expect that this "Uchiha Madara" actually knew about the Root's actions in the Rain Land.

"Does the Root have his spies, or does he have stronger intelligence capabilities in the Rain Country than the Root?" Shimura Danzo thought to himself.

It is a very serious matter for a spy to appear in such a secretive department as the Root.

"That's what I want. If you cooperate with me, the Rinnegan will belong to me, and we can share the Ninja Clan's inheritance." The masked man continued.

Shimura Danzo wanted to refuse immediately, saying that he could only work for others if they did so. He would never work for others.

But Danzo Shimura held back because there was something of interest in the masked man's words.

"What is the inheritance of the Ninja Clan? How can it be shared?" asked Danzo Shimura, suppressing his inner emotions.

He has been trying hard to investigate the inheritance of the Ninja Clan, but has not yet figured it out.

"The Ninja Clan's inheritance is now Sosuke, or the Ninja Clan knowledge in his head.

A person who suddenly appeared, and at a young age, is proficient in the seven attributes of chakra nature changes, and can use all kinds of ninjutsu at will, do you think he can practice normally?" The masked man smiled at Shimura Danzo.

Danzo Shimura shook his head. He certainly didn't think that this was something Sosuke practiced on his own.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was younger than Sosuke when Sosuke was younger, but leaving aside Mu Yue who has only risen recently, Sarutobi Hiruzen was already the second most talented person in Konoha, a super genius that even their teacher, Tobirama Senju, felt inferior to him.

Moreover, Sosuke was a blank before the appearance of the Rain Country and did not belong to any large ninja force.

You have to know that high-level ninja knowledge is a monopoly thing. Could it be that Sosuke figured out all that ninja knowledge himself? Then Shimura Danzo really suspected that he was the reincarnation of the Six Paths Sage.

"The secret of Sosuke's power lies in his memory. As long as I can kill him, I have the means to ignore any protection measures and completely extract all his memories." The masked man said in an unfathomable manner.

"No, with the methods you have, if you do something behind the scenes, I will end up with nothing.

Cooperation is OK, but the condition is to give me the Samsara Eye in exchange. When I am sure that there is no problem with the Shinobi inheritance that you share, I will give you another Samsara Eye." Shimura Danzo thought for a while and said.

Not to mention that the other party is a fake Uchiha Madara, even if the other party is the real Uchiha Madara, Shimura Danzo will cooperate with the other party if he can obtain the Rinnegan and the inheritance of the Ninja Clan.

The Ninja Clan's inheritance is the secret that can create top-level strongmen, and the Rinnegan is the eye of the legendary creator. Either one can greatly enhance Shimura Danzo's strength.

Danzo Shimura saw hope of surpassing Sarutobi Hiruzen.

From childhood to adulthood, he has always lost to Sarutobi Hiruzen in terms of strength and status, and he will not give up any hope of surpassing the other.

"I want all the Samsara Eyes. As compensation, I can let you have Wood Release."

As he spoke, the masked man gathered chakra, and a small tree quickly grew in Danzo Shimura's office.

"Wood Release!" Danzo Shimura could no longer control his expression and looked at the masked man in shock.

Although the Ninja Clan's inheritance and the Rinnegan are very good, they are just empty pie in the sky for him at the moment. He can only see them but cannot eat them.

Now the masked man actually performed Wood Release in front of him.

"Who is he? Why does he have Wood Release? Is this also an experiment of Hashirama's cells, and was it successful?" Danzo Shimura thought rapidly in his mind.

Although Danzo Shimura also has a Wood Release ninja under his command, the abilities of his subordinates are different from his own.

And if the masked man really completely cracked Hashirama's cells, wouldn't that mean he would have the ability to mass-produce Wood Release ninjas? Danzo Shimura felt terrified just thinking about it, and rows of huge wooden men appeared on the battlefield.

At this time, Danzo Shimura suddenly felt that the other party might really be Uchiha Madara, the Uchiha Madara who found a way to prolong his life.

Because if the masked man is Uchiha Madara, then everything he shows makes sense.

The powerful force that can ignore Konoha's great barrier and easily invade the Root may be a super power hidden behind it.

"Okay, but I have a request. Before you help me master Wood Release, if we get the Rinnegan, I must have one. Once I have Wood Release, I will return the Rinnegan to you." Danzo Shimura replied after thinking.

Danzo Shimura doesn't want to give up the Rinnegan, but compared to the Rinnegan whose improvement effect is unknown, the powerful Wood Release is definitely more practical.

Of course, the main reason was that Shimura Danzo was passive in this transaction.

He didn't know the masked man's true identity, nor did he know what power the masked man had, but the masked man was able to sneak into his office silently.

If given the chance, Danzo Shimura would still find a way to achieve the ending where he wants everything.

After all, this is the legendary eye of the immortal. Just looking at the masked man's obsession with the Rinnegan, you can tell that it is not easy to get the Rinnegan.

If the Rinnegan wasn't strong enough, would the masked man be kind enough to give him Wood Release as compensation?
"How do we cooperate?" Danzo Shimura asked, suppressing all the messy thoughts in his mind.

The most important thing now is to cooperate to take down Sosuke and Nagato, otherwise everything will be in vain.

"What you have to do now is to increase your power in the Rain Country as much as possible, and use the power of Konoha to attack the Ninja Clan when necessary. When it is time for you to do something, you will receive a message." The masked man replied.

Danzo Shimura frowned, wondering if this would make him the masked man's subordinate.

When Danzo Shimura thought about the rewards he could get from it, his rising emotions were suppressed again. As long as he could obtain Wood Release, the Rinnegan and the inheritance of the Ninja Clan, everything would be worth it.

"One last question." The masked man asked curiously before leaving.

"I may not answer." Shimura Danzo said lightly. He didn't really consider himself a subordinate of the masked man.

"What does it feel like to have a bowel movement?"

Shimura Danzo's eyelids twitched violently, thinking that the masked man was deliberately saying such words to insult him, so he frowned and said nothing.

He was prepared for the masked man to ask for Konoha's confidential information, but this is the result?

Seeing that Shimura Danzo did not answer, the masked man showed a regretful expression, pushed the door open and walked out, then sank into the ground silently.

"Who is it that is deliberately trying to interfere with my judgment like this..." Sensing that the other party's breath had inexplicably disappeared, Shimura Danzo's expression became gloomy.

Even if he was a cooperative partner, Danzo Shimura was extremely wary of the masked man who could come and go freely in the Root base without his consent.

If he can appear at the root base so casually, then he can appear in his home.

If the other party sneaked in while he was sleeping, he would be in danger.

Danzo Shimura frowned, having no idea of ​​the masked man's identity.

"However, even if you are really Uchiha Madara, you are just a weak and old Uchiha Madara, not the Uchiha Madara who can injure the First Daemon." After Danzo Shimura thought about this clearly, his brows relaxed.

If it was Uchiha Madara at his full strength, there would be no need to cooperate with him. We could just attack the Ninja Clan and kill Nagato and Sosuke together.

Since the masked man wants to cooperate with him, it proves that the other party cannot defeat the Ninja Clan alone and needs his strength. Otherwise, the masked man can enjoy the Rinnegan and the Ninja Clan inheritance alone.

"Should we ask Orochimaru for help?" Danzo Shimura thought of his partner.

Then he shook his head. One more person means one more share of the benefits, and he didn't want to have another rival to snatch the Rinnegan.

If Orochimaru was also promised Wood Release, it would be even more disadvantageous to him.

He is now in a cooperative relationship with Orochimaru because he is not strong enough and his influence is not big enough.

If he was strong enough, then Orochimaru could be abandoned.

The next day, in the morning.

After Danzo Shimura finished dealing with the Root affairs, he went straight to the Hokage's office in the Hokage Building.

The Ninja Clan inheritance, the Rinnegan, and the Wood Release are all very tempting, but Danzo Shimura cannot give up the benefits that are within reach of his subordinates who possess the ability of Observation Haki.

The wooden door was first pushed open violently, and then the Anbu outside the door could vaguely hear a heated discussion.

After waiting for the discussion to die down, Danzo Shimura walked out of the Hokage's office with a loud door slamming.
