Chapter 107: Danzo’s Identity is Quite Useful

Ebizo quickly put forward a glut of conditions.

Danzo still had a smile on his face. He waited until Ebizo finished talking and said, “Your asking price is too high. Why don’t you just ask for Konoha to support Amegakure’s invasion of the Land of Wind.”

“Then why did you come here to talk?”

After Ebizo finished speaking, his expression became very ugly.

Had it not been for the death of the Fourth Kazekage, he would not have bothered to pay attention to Danzo!

He really deserved to be the most insidious and despicable villain in the Ninja world. He was simply too proficient in taking advantage of a crisis to rob others. He would surely die painfully sooner or later.

“First of all, I’ll help you talk to the Amegakure.”

When Danzo said this, his face was slightly flushed, but it was not apparent in the night. He continued, “In the Amegakure, there’s a genius ninja who had defeated the Fourth Kazekage and his guards. Their war fervor is very high, so it won’t be easy for you to start peace talks.”

Ebizo was a little dissatisfied, “Danzo, your Konohagakure is an ally of Sunagakure. Would you just sit on the sidelines?”

Danzo coldly snorted, “When the Fourth Kazekage invaded the Land of Rain, did he consider that Konohagakure is the Sunagakure’s ally? In short, I could only guarantee that the war does not happen!”

“…”

Ebizo fell into deep thought.

After a while, he finally nodded helplessly.

At this point, Sunagakure had to avoid trouble. As long as peace could be achieved, they would be satisfied.

Since he couldn’t get any results, it’s better to get some rest for the time being. When Sunagakure becomes stronger again in the future, they could still use the death of the Fourth Kazekage as an excuse to invade the Land of Rain.???e???n?ν?l. ???

“As for the missions from the Land of Wind…”

Danzo mentioned a topic that Ebizo was very concerned about. After all, without the gold dust from the Fourth Kazekage, Sunagakure could only rely on mission entrustment to gain funds.

Danzo glanced at Ebizo and continued, “Can you still support the funds of Sunagakure for a while? After a while, when the time is right, I would become Konoha’s Hokage and return your missions.”

“…”

Ebizo suddenly had a strong look of distrust.

Ninjas that dare to trust Danzo, well, basically none of them ended up well. Ebizo was his old opponent, and naturally, he would not believe Danzo’s verbal promise.

“Well, how about I give you some information first?”

Danzo tapped his fingers on the table and whispered, “Jonin Yura is a spy controlled by someone. He should be controlled by the Sennō Sōsa no Jutsu (Memory-Concealing Manipulative Sand Technique). As for the person who’s controlling Yura behind your back, you don’t need me to tell you, right?”

“…”

Ebizo’s face changed drastically.

Yura was a high-level ninja who was responsible for the defense perimeter in the Sunagakure. If someone controlled Yura, it was fair to say that the Sunagakure was without defense.

And the Memory-Concealing Manipulative Sand Technique has always been a secret skill used by puppet masters of the Sunagakure.

Ordinary genius puppet masters wouldn’t come into contact with it. There were very few puppet masters who could learn the Memory-Concealing Manipulative Sand Technique, but Ebizo happens to know two people.

One of them was his sister Chiyo.

Obviously, Chiyo wouldn’t use this ninjutsu on the people of her village, so it could only be the grandson of Chiyo, Sasori of the Red Sand.

“This news could be treated as a bonus!”

Danzo slowly stood up and said softly, “If you agree with our deal, you could put the ninjutsu on this table tomorrow, and I’ll send someone to pick it up.”

Danzo walked to the door and opened it. He added, “If you disagree with our transaction… No, I believe that you would agree since everything we do is for each other’s village.”

“I agreed to your deal.”

Ebizo turned his head, looked at Danzo’s somewhat old body, and asked curiously, “But when will you become Hokage?”

“Do not worry.”

Danzo said seriously, “I am sixty-five years old this year, but I have enough time.”

Ebizo, “…”

This sentence almost made him fall to the ground!

What the hell were you going to do at this age!

Regardless, the news he got from Danzo was enough to pay for One’s Own Life Reincarnation, so Ebizo didn’t bother with the rest of the agreement.

Anyway, sooner or later, they would negotiate with Konoha.

It’s better to do this than wait for Danzo to become Hokage!

Danzo didn’t care at all and continued, “A man is in his twilight years is still very strong. Even if I am over 70, I will definitely become Hokage!”

Ebizo, “…”

How come you still have a follow-up sentence?

How could an old thing like Danzo become Hokage!

With the negotiation being successful, Danzo seemed to be in a good mood, so he continued softly, “Of course, it’s not easy to be accepted at my age, so I could only rely on my own strength.”

Ebizo shook his head.

To be honest, he still doesn’t quite believe it.

Danzo seemed to understand Ebizo’s thoughts and suddenly said, “If Chiyo was willing, she could now become the Fifth Kazekage of the Sunagakure, right?”

“I probably… understand what you mean.”

Ebizo’s voice suddenly fell a little, “Even if the Third and Fourth Hokage died in battle, Konoha is still full of talents…”

“I would kill those competitors.”

Danzo’s words seemed powerful. He looked at Ebizo and said, “If someone invites you to participate in a Konoha collapse plan one day, then participate. The day the plan succeeds is the day the missions entrusted by the Land of Wind return to the Sunagakure.”

“…”

Ebizo was a little confused.

“Okay, I’m leaving now.”

Danzo slowly stepped out of the room and said coldly, “If someone deceives me, I’ll make them him understand that Konoha’s power is not something a weak ninja village can resist.”

“Rest assured.”

Ebizo shook his head and said, “We were all smart people here.”

This was how the two old people who controlled the dark side of the village separated. The negotiation between them seemed to be very successful, and they both got what each other wanted.

When Ebizo went back that night, he called over Yura. He asked his sister Chiyo to dispel the Memory-Concealing Manipulative Sand Technique and learned about Sasori from Yura’s mouth.

The next day.

In the Oasis.

A young ninja stepped into the door, picked up a scroll from the table, and a mysterious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. “I didn’t expect that Danzo’s identity to be so useful, and there was no psychological barrier in using it. He already carried a bunch of black pots, so it didn’t matter if he carried a few more!”

Yes.

Danzo, who negotiated with Ebizo last night, was Uehara transformed using his Charming Transformation skill. He conquered Ebizo with his superb acting skills.

“Sure enough, I’m a genius.”

The smile on Uehara’s face grew wider.

[Side Mission: Obtain Kishō Tensei (One’s Own Life Reincarnation) (1/1)]

[Reward: skill Chronoshift.]

[Chronoshift: Place an enchantment on the target for 5 seconds. If the target dies within 5 seconds, the target’s state is reversed, and they resurrected. Consumes 125 Chakra. Cooldown, 60 seconds.]

This skill was not true time-reversal but a resurrection skill that was prepared in advance. It was a truly magical skill.

It was a pity that the dead could not be resurrected.

He could only prepare for the resurrection of the living.

“Golden Body Stagnation, Cells Division, Chronoshift…”

Uehara himself couldn’t help but smiled bitterly, “With so many life-saving skills now, it’s really hard to die!”

The most important thing was that this skill could be used to protect other people, so Uehara would not be helpless when Konan and Nagato were in danger.

Uehara touched the ring on his hand, “Well, I have gained enough this time. It’s time to go back to Amegakure and become the village’s accountant.”
