Chapter 620 Impact
Since the news of Shimura Danzo's death in battle had spread in the ninja world, Sarutobi Hiruzen simply issued an announcement to announce the news.
In order to save some face for Shimura Danzo and for the dignity of the top management, the cause of death of Shimura Danzo was not that he was killed during a private operation, but that he died unfortunately while investigating intelligence.
This news shocked Konoha, and Konoha residents discussed who Danzo Shimura was.
Although Shimura Danzo is one of the top leaders of Konoha, ordinary Konoha residents don't care who the top leaders are. They know who the Hokage is at most.
In addition, Danzo Shimura is mainly responsible for the dirty work behind closed doors and rarely shows up, making it even harder for the residents to get to know him.
Of course, most ninjas still know Shimura Danzo.
In addition to his status as the Pot King of Konoha, Danzo Shimura is also a powerful ninja. This alone is enough to impress many Konoha ninjas.
However, due to various reasons, Shimura Danzo is regarded by most ninjas as having a very average overall evaluation.
Regarding the news of Shimura Danzo's death, most ninjas did not care about the news itself, but about the impact this incident might have.
After all, Danzo Shimura is a high-ranking official in Konoha, and he is still the one with real power in charge of the special department of Roots, and is involved in many interests.
The impact on the village was because Sarutobi Hiruzen was the first to get the news and made preparations, so nothing happened.
The influence outside the village is a bit scary. Ninjas with a strong background like Nara quickly got the news that Kumogakure was making moves against Konoha.
And as the news fermented, someone discovered a problem. The news that came to Konoha from the outside was that Sosuke of the Land of Rain killed Shimura Danzo, but the news announced by Sarutobi Hiruzen was still under investigation.
All kinds of information filled Konoha with a weird atmosphere, and it was no longer as relaxed as before.
Even the cultivation atmosphere in the southern forest has been slightly affected.
"Danzo-sama is dead..." Yamato sat on the big rock and sighed.
After spending some time with Mu Yue, he discovered that Shimura Danzo was not as good as he thought, but Yamato was still grateful to Shimura Danzo.
After all, Shimura Danzo also spent a lot of time raising him, for which Yamato was very grateful.
Therefore, Yamato became the only disciple among Mugetsu's disciples who would be saddened by the death of Shimura Danzo.
"Danzo? That Shimura Danzo? So who is he? There have been a lot of discussions in the village recently." Obito asked, scratching his head.
He was one of those people who would ask who Danzo Shimura was.
Obito was not yet born when Shimura Danzo was active on the battlefield, and due to other factors, Obito did not know the information about the ninja named Shimura Danzo.
"He is Konoha's assistant to the Hokage." Kakashi answered this question for Yamato.
"It's actually the Hokage's assistant, but I haven't heard much about him." Obito was a little confused.
"Probably because there is no news worth spreading." Kakashi replied calmly.
There are actually very few ninjas like Mugetsu and Namikaze Minato who have repeatedly performed extraordinary feats on the battlefield.
Because this requires not only strength, but also luck and the ability to seize opportunities.
Obito felt that what Kakashi said was right, and at the same time, he held a moment of silence for this unfamiliar Hokage assistant.
As the Hokage's assistant, he doesn't even have a single deed worth mentioning, which is really sad.
"If I become Hokage, I must be the kind of Hokage who can fill several pages in history books!" Obito thought as he clenched his fists.
It was really annoying for him to memorize it when he was studying. The thought of having future students memorize his deeds made Obito extremely excited.
As for why he thought it in his heart instead of saying it out loud, it was because Obito knew that Kakashi, who was born evil, would definitely laugh at him for overestimating his capabilities.
Although he has great ambitions, Obito knows that he is indeed not qualified now and cannot refute Kakashi's ridicule.
He wants to work hard quietly and surprise everyone.
"Don't take on missions recently, wait for my arrangements." Mu Yue reminded her disciples.
Mu Yue could feel Uchiha Madara's impatience from the changes in the ninja world.
He is too old and can't wait to find an heir to be the executor of his resurrection plan.
Under such circumstances, only in Konoha and by Muyue's side can Obito and Shisui be immune to Uchiha Madara's calculations.
Normally, jounin can already complete tasks alone or lead a team to complete tasks.
However, Obito and the others were in a special situation. On the one hand, they were too young, so young that they broke Konoha's Jounin age record, and then there was Muyue's interference.
Namikaze Minato had mentioned letting Kakashi and the others lead the team to carry out the mission alone, not to give Konoha a few more Jonin teams, but to train them by leading the team.
Mu Yue resolutely rejected Namikaze Minato's proposal and listed several reasons to convince Namikaze Minato.
All the disciples nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Yue called Zhi Shui aside alone and explained to Zhi Shui about the training team.
Shisui showed a somewhat troubled expression.
He could feel the specialness of the training team. This was an ANBU that was more special than ANBU, and it might be helpful for him to change the Uchiha plan.
But joining such a special department, he would definitely not be able to have the same leisure time as before, and he would not be able to have so much time to practice with Muyue Obito and the others.
"If you want to join, then I will arrange a position as squad leader for you. If you don't want to join, don't join. Don't force yourself, just choose according to your true thoughts." Mu Yue said.
Solving Uchiha problems requires taking into account both those within the clan and outside the clan, but outsiders do not necessarily have to join a department such as the training team.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say that Shisui must join the training team, he just said that Shisui was a suitable candidate.
As Zhisui's teacher, not only could he help Zhisui solve all his difficulties, but he would also have no problem shielding him from some wind and rain.
"Teacher Muyue, I'll join!" Zhishui replied seriously.
After thinking carefully, Shisui decided to seize this rare opportunity.
This is an advantage that all Uchiha ninjas except him and Obito do not have.
Mu Yue is the leader of this new department. In this department, as long as they have merit, they will definitely receive the rewards they deserve.
It would be difficult for other Uchihas to join such a secret department, and it would be even harder to be reused.
"Okay, I will inform you when you need to report to the training team." Mu Yue nodded.
Thanks to Danzo Shimura, although the training team is a new department that was established not long ago, it already has its own independent base - the Maegenbu Base.
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not break his promise. Except for some confidential documents that were useless to the training team, all other fundamental properties belonged to the training team.
Although there are currently only two people in the training team except Shisui, who has not joined the team, there are indeed a lot of resources. Zhishui thanked Mu Yue and started practicing.
After the training time was over, Mu Yue did not return to her home in the main city, but walked to Yamato's side.
"Teacher Muyue?" Yamato looked at Muyue in confusion.
"I want to be a guest at your home today. Wouldn't Yamato welcome me?" Mu Yue looked at Yamato and said with a smile.
"Of course you are welcome." Yamato explained quickly, feeling a little moved in his heart.
Mu Yue was always like this, able to detect his emotions in time and then comfort him.
The house that Yamato currently lives in was arranged by Shimura Danzo before, and it belongs to the suburbs within the suburbs.
Fortunately, the place where Mu Yue and the others practice is quite remote, so Yamato's home is closest to their usual place of practice.
After entering Yamato's home, Mu Yue walked towards the kitchen.
If the disciple is unhappy, then of course he should be allowed to taste delicious food that can change his mood.
Yamato waved his hand to express that he did not want to trouble Mu Yue, but in the end he was persuaded by Mu Yue and sat down at the table to wait for the meal.
"Do you want to go to school?" Mu Yue asked after placing the last plate of food on the dining table.
People usually enter ninja school at the age of five or six. Now Yamato is eight years old. If it weren't for his special status, he should have gone to ninja school long ago.
Mu Yue had the idea of sending Yamato to school for a long time, but Danzo Shimura couldn't explain it, so it never happened.
"Are you going to a ninja school?" Yamato restrained himself from looking at the extremely tempting dishes and replied.
This is the food made by Mu Yue, and he feels that Mu Yue must eat it first.
"Well, after graduating from the ninja school, you will be an official Konoha ninja." Mu Yue saw Yamato's thoughts and picked up a piece of meat and put it in his bowl.
Strictly speaking, Yamato is actually a gangster, and his identity was arranged by Shimura Danzo.
Yamato's previous identity as a root ninja was not registered in the root member directory. He was a ninja recognized only by Shimura Danzo and was not considered a real Konoha ninja.
Of course, with Shimura Danzo's power, it is not difficult to assign a ninja identity to Yamato, but Yamato is too weak, and Shimura Danzo is worried about being discovered by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"How long does it take to study in a ninja school to become a ninja?" Yamato also picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth and immediately ate some rice. After chewing for a while, he looked happy.
"If it's quick, it can be one month or even two weeks. If it's slow, six years. I personally recommend you to stay for more than two years." Mu Yue thought for a while and said.
Yamato was relatively miserable among his disciples. He was first captured and became the subject of Hashirama's cell experiment.
He survived and lost his memory, but was picked up by Shimura Danzo. He was PUA by Shimura Danzo for a long time and instilled his twisted ideas.
So Mu Yue hopes that Yamato can have a happy campus life.
With Yamato's current strength, going to a ninja school is completely a dimensionality reduction attack, and he is purely the protagonist of the novel.
When Yamato heard the number six years, his eyes widened slightly. His life was only 1.336 years.
"Teacher Muyuki, do I have any hope of becoming a wood escape ninja like Lord Shodaime?" Yamato suddenly asked without answering the question.
"It's difficult, almost impossible." Mu Yue replied as tactfully as possible.
What is perverted in Senju Hashirama is not the Wood Release, but the terrifying chakra.
The chakra of ordinary tailed beasts is so terrifying that ordinary ninjas cannot match it. Compared with the nine tails, the chakra of ordinary tailed beasts is much worse.
But compared to Senju Hashirama, Kyuubi can only go back slightly, which shows the terrifying amount of chakra in Senju Hashirama.
"Is there still a possibility? I want to become a ninja like Lord Shodaime who can protect the village and prevent the war." Yamato said with determination.
"I'm going to a ninja school and graduate as quickly as possible to become a ninja. When the time comes, I'll ask Teacher Muyue to train me more rigorously!"
Shimura Danzo's death made him a little sad, but what made Yamato even more uneasy was the future. If Mu Yue also sacrificed like Shimura Danzo...
He wants stronger power, power that can protect the people and things he cares about.
Mu Yue showed a somewhat helpless expression. Sometimes premature maturity is not a good thing. What are you doing with such a sense of responsibility? Children who are less than ten years old just enjoy life obediently.
"Even if you want to become a ninja like the First Daime, it won't happen overnight. You have to study in a ninja school for at least a year." Mu Yue said, tapping Yamato with her index and middle fingers together.
…
Yu no Kuni, Konoha ninja troop base.
"It's such a pity to die like this." Orochimaru put down the information in his hand, and his expressionless face showed some fluctuations.
He received the news of Shimura Danzo's death, not only from Konoha's official announcement, but also from some information circulated in the ninja world.
"The experiment can only be suspended..." Orochimaru sighed slightly.
He did not feel sad about Shimura Danzo's death. Just like Shimura Danzo only used him as a tool for experiments, Orochimaru also only regarded Shimura Danzo as a useful partner, not Jiraiya Tsuna. A companion like a hand.
What worries Orochimaru is whether his experiment can proceed smoothly and whether his cooperation with Shimura Danzo has been exposed.
They had done too many things that crossed the line together. Once exposed, Orochimaru, let alone competing for Hokage, and Sarutobi Hiruzen spared his life would be just old love.
Orochimaru originally wanted to return to Konoha to eliminate information that might expose him, but Kumogakure's sudden action failed Orochimaru's purpose.
Changing generals before a war is a taboo. Without a suitable reason, Konoha's top management would not allow him to return to Konoha at this time.
After discovering the difficulty of returning to Konoha, Orochimaru simply didn't apply because it was impossible to pass anyway.
Orochimaru now very much hopes that Danzo Shimura will deal with the traces well. After being exposed, his only option is to defect.
Orochimaru did not sit still and waited for death. He actively tried to contact his subordinates in Konoha, wanting to understand the situation in Konoha and the impact of Shimura Danzo's death on Konoha.
He is not greedy for his power in Konoha. Whether it is power or money, they are just means to achieve his goal. He is not obsessed with power and money themselves.
But Orochimaru would not be willing to give up everything in Konoha. He had been working for many years to achieve the current results. If he defected, he would have to start from scratch and waste a long time.
Human energy is always limited, even for a genius like Orochimaru.
When he focused on Danzo Shimura and his affairs, and the war with Hidden Cloud Village, he didn't have so much energy to analyze.
In this way, Kumogakure's ninja troops quietly arrived in Tian Country by boat and began their operation.
