This new intelligence soon aroused Danzo's interest.
If Amatsukami and Akatsuki were really hostile towards each other, there would be plenty of room to maneuver, and he could even sit on top of watching the two organizations destroy themselves.
Therefore, he stopped his thoughts halfway and asked, “The two organizations are hostile? Is there any relevant information that confirms this?”
Anbu root nodded, though, “According to reports we have received a small-scale war a few months ago that destroyed a large part of the forest and we suspect Orochimaru's involvement in it because the clues found there was actually a fight between Kakuzu of Akatsuki and Suijin from Amatsukami, the specific situation is unknown but the first part can be confirmed.”
Danzo nodded and asked, “What is the reason for the conflict?”
“Master exchange bounty seems to be unaware of the cause but given the fact that Kakuzu has tasked the Dark Market to investigate ‘Yama’ just months before that conflict, the company said, the bounty exchange master speculated that Akatsuki and Amatsukami might have some disputes about the reward duty quota.”
Danzo sneered at this speculation.
Although the bounty duties in the Black Market Circle were limited, there would never be any shortage for powerful individuals like Akatsuki and Amatsukami, so thinking that the dispute was caused because the bounty duty quota was really stupid.
There must be some other reason they don't know.
Thinking so, Danzo ordered Root Anbu to leave, while he himself got up from the wooden chair he was sitting in and walked back and forth in his office while thinking about all the information he had in his hands until now.
According to the intelligence obtained so far, Danzo has gained a general understanding of Akatsuki. Their operating structure, the behavior of various members, identities, and others were all within the scope of his understanding, except that their current leader was a bit too mysterious but they made the mercenary organization extraordinarily powerful.
However, Amatsukami is completely different.
Until now they knew very little about their members. As far as they knew, they only knew four Amatsukami members whose abilities were also unclear.
Danzo never expected that even after carrying out such a large-scale operation, involving hundreds of shinobi not only in the Fire Nation but also surrounding countries, he said, he was still unable to unearth even the slightest bit of useful intelligence about Amatsukami. If not for some of Amatsukami's remarkable and remarkable records in the last period, Danzo would have even doubted whether Amatsukami really existed?
Thinking so, he began to review his thoughts, connecting the dots about all the actions Amatsukami had taken, and after passing through these points many times, he suddenly thought of something and that was when he felt that he understood something about Amatsukami.
The fact that there is no information about Amatsukami is also part of the information itself.
The fact that no intelligence about Amatsukami can be unearthed. If you look at this from another perspective, it would imply that there is actually no clue, to begin with!
Imagine even an organization as strong and as powerful as Akatsuki also needs to use the Black-Market Circle and various private intelligence agencies to gather information about their targets around the shinobi world, then why doesn't Amatsukami need to use an underground intelligence network to get all the intelligence they need?
The answer is only one, Amatsukami has another intelligence network.
With Amatsukami's reputation for high efficiency and precise fire, it would not be wrong for Danzo to conclude that the intelligence network Amatsukami uses is truly superior to that of the underground intelligence network.
And in the shinobi world, there are only five shinobi villages that surpass underground intelligence networks.
‘Maybe Amatsukami is actually just an empty shell organization created by a certain shinobi village?’ – this thought comes to mind Danzo.
“Kirigakure had just experienced a civil strife against their main clan so that they could be put aside, they did not have the strength or will to do this kind of thing… the first thing they will do is get rid of their own problems!”
“Sunagakure is under pressure from Daimyo Land of Wind, so their strength continues to decrease, Sunagakure is also an ally, so they can be expelled for a while.”.
“If it was Kumogakure, then there was no need to sacrifice their Shinobi Chief, they could use so many other reasons to start a war, not to mention they would not agree to the peace treaty itself, he said, so Kumogakure can also be ruled out..”.
“Iwagakure is a bit suspicious, and with Onoki's character it wouldn't be surprising, but if it was really Iwagakure, they could have killed Watanabe and disappeared, he said, why would they bother to risk bringing his body to the Black-market exchange shop? They will clearly ensure that the suspicion of Watanabe's death falls on Konoha's head! Moreover, it was impossible for Iwagakure to recruit an Uchiha with the Mangekyou Sharingan, not to mention with a shadow in Onoki's heart that it was impossible for him to trust an Uchiha!”
With the process of elimination, Danzo denied the four possibilities and he came back a little confused.
Then he suddenly thought of ‘Uchiha’ and once again as if a light bulb was on he thought, ‘Could the Uchiha Clan have done all this?’
The Uchiha Clan was currently the most famous and superior shinobi Clan in Konoha, even after they were constantly suppressed thanks to his efforts, the strength of the Uchiha Clan was undoubtedly unquestionable.
As for Homusubi, there was a ready-made Uchiha Shisui with the Mangekyou Sharingan, therefore, theoretically, the Uchiha Clan could have two members disguised as Amatsukami members, one of which was Homusubi, he said, and the other was Suijin if he had it. successfully awakened the Ice Element, or perhaps hired someone to play Suijin.
But thinking so, Danzo suddenly frowned.
Since he suddenly found a loophole in his own speculation, that is, why did the Uchiha Clan attack the Kumogakure Chief ninja and then risk sending his body into the black market circle?
If they somehow want to provoke a conflict between Konoha and Kumo, and use it to their advantage, then why would they send his body into the black market circle.
Not to mention, the Uchiha Clan was not short on money, so it couldn't be just a bounty, right?
Shaking his head to dispel this last absurd thought, Danzo suddenly had a truly genius idea, then a malicious grin appeared on his face.
It was because he suddenly realized that this was an excellent opportunity to deal with Uchiha Shisui and snatch his Mangekyou Sharingan!
Tap…
Immediately, Danzo tapped his staff to the ground.
Listening to that voice, an Anbu ninja who was guarding outside entered and asked, “Danzo-sama, what does this subordinate need to do?”
Danzo said in a cold tone, “Secretly spread rumors throughout Konoha that Uchiha Shisui is Homusubi from Amatsukami!”
“!!!……Yes, Danzo-sama!” – Anbu Root was surprised, but he soon recovered and left the office to fulfill the instructions given to him.
At this moment, Danzo suddenly regained her confidence.
He had no proof that Uchiha Shisui was Homusubi of Amatsukami, but to him, the presence of evidence was not important, all he needed was a legitimate reason to deal with Uchiha Shisui and obtain a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan.
There were already many shinobi he dealt with, and Uchiha Shisui was no exception.
Just as he was secretly dealing with White Fang Konoha, Hatake Sakumo.
Back then, Hatake Sakumo's fame had even surpassed the level of Sannin's prestige, and Konoha's White Taring name was feared throughout the Shinobi world.
If such a character were not dammed, the threat to the Hokage Faction would be too great, moreover, Danzo was even afraid that things would start to come out of his hands, if White Fang's reputation continued to grow.
Therefore, he used the chance of the failure of Hatake Sakumo's mission and used his Anbu Root to make the secret news public by exaggerating it several times. Thus the secret information that was supposed to be sealed in the mission archives became the talk of the city, and Hatake Sakumo's prestige quickly fell.
It's just that Shimura Danzo never thought that Hatake Sakumo was so concerned with honor and faced the accusations and cold views of the same person he risked his life to save, in the end, he chose to kill himself in silence.
But all that was not important for the time being, the important thing was that he obtained Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan and managed to eliminate the threat of the Uchiha Clan from the village, Konoha did not need the Uchiha Clan, so it didn't matter if Uchiha Shisui did the same.
