Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer

Chapter 347: Sandaime’s Letter!

Chapter 347: Sandaime’s Letter!

"Phew..."

At this time, Aoba slowly opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I can't tell if this is Hiruzen's problem or Danzo's problem. These two people are really a match made in heaven. They cooperated too well!"

Aoba couldn't help but sigh.

Now, he only saw this past through a short memory fragment.

He knew that there were more things to come.

After all, what he read was Danzo's memory.

If he continued to read, he could see how Danzo sent information to the various forces and how Hiruzen follow-up.

However.

Aoba was very clear.

Just from the memory of this scene, he already had some understanding of what had happened to the Uzumaki clan.

Uzumaki Ashina was dead!

Aoba still had some memory of this person.

After all, the Uzumaki Clan always appears in the animations, and even if they appear in memories, it was hard not to have a deep impression.

Uzumaki Ashina's name left the deepest impression on Aoba when he appeared.

There was only one scene.

Looked very old.

His hair was all white.

It was particularly eye-catching among the many red-haired ninjas of the Uzumaki Clan.

However, what he did not expect was...

Uzumaki Ashina's name actually had such a great influence. His death directly led to the end of the Uzumaki Clan.

"It seems the clan's leader does not need to be too strong. If that happens, all the clan members are under the leader's shade. They live in peace and die from worries. If the clan leader is not so strong, but the clan's overall strength is strong, on the contrary, they can go further. Now I understand why they say the Hyuga clan is the strongest in Konoha. The overall strength of this clan is extremely powerful, and it is not contaminated with so many rights and wrongs. Even if they face Hiruzen, who is extremely cowardly, they also understand the principle of abandoning the carriage to protect the commander."

Aoba sighed silently.

As his understanding of Konohagakure became deeper and deeper, his understanding of many things became clearer and clearer.

This village was far from being as harmonious and beautiful as it seemed on the surface, but there were many dark conspiracies that ordinary people could not see.

"I believe that when the First Hokage Senju Hashirama established Konohagakure, it was indeed a utopia in a chaotic world that he imagined. The people who used to protect the village were full of ideals. But the village development trajectory changed after the death of the First Hokage. It's not so simple anymore. "

Aoba had already seen Konohagakure's development very clearly in this matter. After all, when the First Hokage died, Tobirama was in charge of the village.

No matter what was said.

Tobirama was Danzo's teacher and was no weaker than Danzo in terms of scheming.

Thinking of this.

Aoba fell into silence again.

"Let's continue watching!"

After hesitating for a moment, Aoba made up his mind. He slowly closed his eyes and raised his hands to the temples on both sides of his head.

In a split second.

Aoba once again enters Danzo's memories. Scenes after scene appeared in his mind.

This time.

The scene in front of Aoba changed.

He was familiar with this place.

He had been here before.

This was Danzo's office next to Hokage Building.

Danzo sat in the office.

Staring at the scroll on the table, he began to write one text after another. The content of the text was exactly the intelligence relationship that Danzo has in his hand.

Line after line of text appeared on the scroll.

It was completely reflected in Aoba's line of sight.

After all, everything that was presented in the memory was Danzo's first-person perspective, which was enough to see these words clearly.

The content was very clear.

All that was written was about the Uzumaki Clan matter, announcing to the various forces that Uzumaki Ashina was dead and the Uzumaki Clan was in its most dangerous period. As long as everyone worked together, they could exterminate the Uzumaki Clan.

Judging from the content presented on this scroll.

It was very infectious.

Every word carried a feeling of temptation.

After all...

The people of these forces feared the Sealing Technique of the Uzumaki Clan. They had long wanted to find an opportunity to suppress this clan.

Danzo now provided them with an opportunity.

They could temporarily relinquish their prejudices against each other in a short time and deal with the Uzumaki Clan together. Then, they would talk about their own matters.

When Aoba saw the scroll contents, he couldn't help but sigh at Danzo's ability to choose words and make sentences. He could describe Uzumaki Ashina's death so exaggeratedly, so much so that the people who received the scroll could feel that if they missed this opportunity, they would regret it for an unknown period of time.

Time continued to move on...

After Danzo finished writing the contents of these scrolls, he began to pack them up.

In the end, through his channels and connections, he sent these scrolls to the places they should go to...

After Danzo sent these scrolls out, he began to release a piece of news to the village. That is, to close the village's intelligence channels. In the future, information about the Uzumaki clan can only be released once he thinks it's time.

"Great!"

Aoba opened his eyes again. His gaze looked forward, slowly digesting the contents.

Danzo sent out a total of 13 sealed scrolls.

The destination of these scrolls were all different places.

The Country of Hot Water.

The Country of Waves.

The Country of Water.

The Country of Lightning.

The Country of River.

The Country of Iron.

...

The place where Danzo sent the scroll was not the ninja village but countries of all sizes.

These countries all had a common characteristic.

It was not far from the Country of Whirlpools and within the geographical range that can carry out strikes, and all of them were afraid of the Country of Whirlpools.

The news of Uzumaki Ashina's death.

It has yet to be made public.

Every member of the Uzumaki Clan knew how big of an impact this matter would have. Before they successfully merged with Konohagakure, this information had to be strictly confidential.

But...

The people of the Uzumaki Clan might not even know until their deaths.

Their ally, Konohagakure, spread the news of Uzumaki Ashina's death.

It was precisely because of this news that the Uzumaki Clan was exterminated.

Plus, until a long time later.

When it was obviously too late to rescue the Uzumaki Clan, Hiruzen led a ninja team to clean up the battlefield.

Now at this time...

Aoba only thought about it. There was no need to guess what happened to the Uzumaki Clan in the later years. The outcome was already very clear. In the entire Ninja World, no one could save the Uzumaki Clan!

"Actually, this gave me a lot of inspiration..."

Aoba held his chin and fell into deep thought. He was thinking about a very interesting thing.

"If the Uzumaki Clan merged with Konohagakure at that time, would there be a chance to change Konohagakure's rights?"

"Is Danzo the mastermind behind all this, or is it a preventative measure?"

"Sure enough, there are often big secrets hidden in these kinds of events that are not recorded!"

Aoba couldn't help but sigh, and then he silently thought about these things in his heart.

There were only two situations here.

First, the Uzumaki Clan didn't have any thoughts. They just wanted to come to Konohagakure to take refuge, and they would be honest in the future.

Second, after the Uzumaki Clan entered Konohagakure, they had the idea of coveting power and finally getting Konohagakure's regime by starting a coup.

If it was the first.

In that case, Danzo and Hiruzen's actions were clearly using a villain's heart to measure a gentleman's heart.

But if it was the second.

In that case, it could be said that Danzo and Hiruzen had used their own methods to defend their rule over Konohagakure.

After a period of time.

Aoba slowly heaved a sigh of relief. He already had an answer in his heart.

Of course.

His answer was what he had guessed.

It doesn't mean that it will be something that will definitely happen.

It was just that he was pushing it based on the current situation.

Aoba felt that the matter would eventually evolve between the two situations...

In other words.

These two situations would happen.

In his opinion.

After Uzumaki Ashina died, the Uzumaki clan really wanted to find another person to rely on. That person was Konohagakure.

At least at that time.

Their only idea for Konohagakure was to take refuge.

They went to seek refuge with Uzumaki Mito, a strong Uzumaki clan member.

However.

When they arrived at Konohagakure.

Would there be any changes?

That would be full of unknowns.

However...

Aoba felt that what Danzo said was very reasonable. When the Uzumaki Clan came to Konohagakure at that time, they could really be considered fierce dragons crossing the river.

They would be a strong clan with the extremely famous First Hokage wife.

To be honest.

Aoba felt content with Hiruzen's leadership.

Aoba had Danzo's memory and knew how Hiruzen became the Hokage.

That was to kill all who block his way up with a borrowed knife!

Every head in Danzo's hands could not be said to have anything to do with Hiruzen. Even with Kagami's death, Hiruzen knew it. He also knew that Danzo had transplanted Kagami's eyes on his right eye, which had already been blinded. He just pretended not to know and treated it as a reward for Danzo.

Although Hiruzen hid very well in front of people in this world, he would still take off his disguise and communicate and plan together in front of Danzo.

Hiruzen was not an idiot.

After he knew that the Uzumaki Clan was coming to Konohagakure, the first thing he thought of was the possibility of danger. He quickly found Danzo, hoping to hear Danzo's opinion and let Danzo say what he wanted.

It seemed that Hiruzen was very clear about the interests of the Uzumaki Clan coming to Konohagakure. It was completely possible that it would become a turtledove taking over the magpie nest, and he was powerless to stop it.

It was just as Danzo said.

Hiruzen could face the Uchiha clan that no longer had Kagami. Although the Uchiha clan was strong, they were like dragons without a head and could not cause any waves.

Even the Uchiha clan wanted to start a coup a few years after the Kyuubi Rampage because the village blamed them, and there was no other way. At that time, the Uchiha clan members did not know that Fugaku had opened his Mangekyo Sharingan; otherwise, they would have already had this idea. After all, they would have a backbone and do their best to follow Fugaku.

According to Danzo's memory...

After experiencing the baptism of the First Ninja World War, especially after the death of his teacher, Senju Tobirama. Kagami's heart suddenly changed.

The negative emotions surged out uncontrollably.

This strong emotion.

It directly stimulated the chakra in Kagami's brain.

It allowed him to open his Mangekyo Sharingan.

Moreover.

After Kagami obtained his Mangekyo Sharingan, his character and state changed, and he began to fight for the Hokage position.

This was a competition for the position of Konohagakure Hokage.

There was no right or wrong.

There was a winner and a loser.

After experiencing the fight for the Hokage, Hiruzen knew that the Hokage position was not easy to come by, which made him more attached to this powerful position and more greedy to sit in this position until the moment when he could not even walk.

It was also because of this idea.

This made Hiruzen especially cherish the Hokage position.

In the face of the Uzumaki clan, which might threaten his position, he decided not to take any risks and let the Uzumaki clan die.

"In fact, there is nothing wrong with this..."

Thinking of this, the corner of Aoba's mouth slightly curled up, revealing a meaningful smile. For Hiruzen to do such a thing, he could completely understand. This was what Hiruzen could do; there was nothing strange about it.

One had to know.

Hiruzen looked very tolerant. But he was not a truly tolerant person. Moreover, Aoba felt no problem with Danzo's preventive strike this time.

Although it was very cruel for the Uzumaki Clan, who had already lost their clan's leader and was betrayed by his allies, directly leading to the extermination of the entire clan.

But he was clear that if Danzo did not do so...

There was a high chance that Konohagakure's power replacement would happen.

Not to mention whether Uzumaki Mito has this idea. After all, Aoba has never been in contact with Uzumaki Mito and has only seen her a few times in anime. When he came to this world, Uzumaki Mito was already dead. He had no idea what kind of character this person had, so he did not make any random guesses.

However, the Uzumaki clan was a super powerful clan that had mastered sealing techniques.

Strength could make people swell!

It can also make people arrogant!

He could almost foresee that after coming to Konohagakure, the clan would appear very humble, but then there would be all kinds of unexpected conflicts due to various trivial matters.

For example, the problem of the clan's residence.

This was also a direct problem that caused the Uchiha clan to start a coup.

Right now, Konohagakure's construction and layout were perfect, and there was no place for the Uzumaki Clan to live. Unless they lived near the outskirts of Konohagakure's outer circle, like the Uchiha clan after the Kyuubi Rampage.

But...

Would the Uzumaki Clan be satisfied?

They wouldn't say anything at first but after a long time?

After all, the Uzumaki Clan was originally a clan that occupied the Country of Whirlpools and even had their own hidden village, Uzushiogakure.

A habit that had been developed over the years.

How could it change overnight?

This point.

Aoba was very certain.

This was like a young lady from a wealthy family who had suddenly fallen into dire straits. She had no choice but to live in a village relative's house. In the beginning, she might not say anything, but sooner or later, she would raise all kinds of dissatisfaction toward the environment there.

After all, she had money in her hands, and there were village people!

Many people in Konohagakure were dissatisfied with Hiruzen. Coupled with the prestige of the First Hokage's wife, people would still push it even if she did not have so many thoughts.

In short...

Aoba felt that if he were to stand on Hiruzen and Danzo's position, it wouldn't be considered too much.

At least, it could be considered self-preservation based on the current situation.

Perhaps.

If it were anyone else in that position.

They might all have the same thought.

"How can you allow others to sleep in a narrow bed!"

Aoba slowly nodded. He had learned a lot from Danzo's memories. He might be able to use them in the future. No matter what, he was a person who had crossed over from the modern era. He had a lot of theoretical accumulation in his mind, but if he really wanted to make a river of blood for his purpose, he still needed to improve. However, he was not in a hurry. His experience could become more and more abundant as he continued to read memories, allowing him to deal with all kinds of things in the future more calmly and decisively.

"I will continue reading..."

Aoba did not read all the memories in one breath. After all, these things did not happen now but had already become a foregone conclusion. Watching it earlier or later wouldn't change the ending. However, if he did not digest it carefully at the time, he might forget about it later.

This was just like when he read novels in the past; he especially liked to leave a comment. As long as he saw some special places, he would leave some comment; even if it was just a simple ridicule, it still left his own footprints.

Although this did not have any effect on the subsequent ending.

However, if he were to read the entire book before leaving a comment, he might have forgotten about it that place. Now, it was the same reason. When he saw Danzo's memory, he couldn't help but step out and make his own analysis.

Then, he continued to read the next part of the memory. He could verify his analysis and see how the matter actually happened.

For a moment.

Aoba closed his eyes again.

He raised his hands and pressed his thumb against his temples. He rubbed his scalp and eased his discomfort when reading the memories.

Then Aoba reenter Danzo's memories.

After sending out all the scrolls, Danzo received a reply from the various forces.

After that.

Danzo took these letters.

He walks out of his office and goes to Hiruzen's office.

Knock Knock Knock...

After Danzo gently knocked on the door, he directly opened the door and walked in.

Then.

All eyes focused on Danzo.

At this time, there was a meeting in the Hokage's office. Each Jonin Captain stood in the office and listened to Hiruzen's instructions.

When Hiruzen saw Danzo, he nodded slowly.

"Let's end today's matter here. All of you can go back. If you have any problems, come find me at any time." Hiruzen said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

The Jonin Captains immediately nodded and then disappeared in a flash.

Suddenly.

Only Hiruzen and Danzo remained in the office.

Danzo did not say a word.

He walked in directly and immediately closed the door of the office. Then he turned to look at Hiruzen.

"How is it?" Hiruzen asked in a low voice. His face no longer had the smile he had when he faced Jonin Captains. Instead, he became extremely serious. After this period of psychological construction, he completely accepted this kind of thing.

"All the information has been sent. I have also received replies from the various forces. Without exception, all of them have agreed. They will attack the Country of Whirlpool at the appointed time." Danzo nodded.

"Reply?" Hiruzen's pupils shrank slightly. He instantly caught a point. After that, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "What identity did you use when you sent them a letter?"

"This is more complicated. Do you want me to talk about it now?" Danzo felt this was not an important part, but from Hiruzen's expression, he seemed to think this was very important.

"Yes." Hiruzen nodded with a firm attitude.

"Alright."

Danzo nodded, then took out the reply letters from his bosom and put them on Hiruzen's desk.

"I mainly sent letters to them using three identities! "

"The matter of sending information to the small countries around the Country of Whirlpool's lands is to invite them to destroy the Uzumaki clan together as the daimyo of the Country of Lightning."

"When sending information to the small countries around the Country of Whirlpool's coast, as the daimyo of the Country of Water, I invited them to destroy the Uzumaki clan together."

"When sending information to the Country of Lightning and the Country of Water, the identity use is the daimyo of the Country of Iron."

"And when sending information to the Country of Iron the identity use is the alliance of both daimyo and the other small country."

"This is the intelligence circle I have set up."

"There are my people in these countries who can directly send information in and intercept the information.."

"In this way, what they have come into contact with in each of their forces is that they have received the scroll of the joint attack on the Uzumaki Clan and wrote a reply to the daimyo that invited them."

"The whole process has nothing to do with our Country of Fire."

"Not only that."

"I also arranged a Root team to hide in every checkpoint in the Country of Fire, preventing any information from entering the Country of Fire during this period of time."

"This way, when the Country of Whirlpool is attacked by the joint attack, the Country of Fire won't get any information immediately."

"When the next few batches of information arrive..."

"It's already too late!"

Danzo coldly said. It could be said that he had planned the whole thing flawlessly. He did not leave any trace of Hiruzen at all. He allowed Hiruzen to sit in the Hokage position without any worries. He did not need to worry about anything at all.

"Alright."

After a moment of silence, Hiruzen heavily nodded his head. Although what Danzo had done was shocking to him, it was indeed the easiest way to make the Uzumaki Clan disappear.

"This is not the only reason you came to find me."

Hiruzen raised his eyes and focused his gaze on Danzo. He vaguely felt that there was no need for Danzo just to come here to report such a thing. After all, when he sent out the information, he did not tell him.

In the past, when Danzo did anything, he just did it. Some he knew, and some he didn't know.

This was the minimum trust and tacit understanding between the two.

As long as the general direction was correct.

For some small matters, it was not important.

Those who achieved great things did not care about trifles!

Apart from other aspects, regarding tolerance and compassion for Danzo, Hiruzen was true and not adulterated.

"Yes."

Danzo nodded. There was no expression on his face. He looked extremely serious as if he was about to say something very important. He gave off a great sense of oppression. Even Hiruzen was a little nervous when he saw him like this.

"It's about Mito-sama."

After Danzo said this, he immediately stopped talking. He just stared straight at Hiruzen, waiting for the latter to respond.

"What happened to Mito-sama?"

Hiruzen's voice instantly became even deeper and hoarse. It sounded very magnetic, but there was a sense of danger behind this magnetism.

"How are we going to deal with Mito-sama?"

As soon as Danzo said this.

Hiruzen instantly fell into silence.

Neither of them was a noob anymore.

There was no need to say more.

They all understood the relationship here.

"The Uzumaki Clan is gone. Mito-sama won't do anything. Just as she doesn't have any thoughts right now, I don't think it's important, right?" Hiruzen said meaningfully. He raised his eyes and stared at Danzo. From his expression, it could still be seen that he was waiting for Danzo's words.

"Mito-sama is still the Kyuubi Jinchuriki!" Danzo coldly said.

"You mean..." Hiruzen narrowed his eyes again, and the cold light in his eyes could not even cover his eyelids, revealing a penetrating sharpness.

"Hiruzen, you know very well that the only ones who can control the Kyuubi are Wood Release and Sharingan. Now that the experiment of Wood Release has failed, the Sharingan is the only power that can control the Kyuubi. After the news of the Uzumaki clan's extinction, Mito-sama will be greatly impacted. If the Kyuubi seal is weakened, it will likely become a treasure for the Uchiha clan. We have to guard against the Uzumaki clan and also the Uchiha clan. We must guard against the Uzumaki clan and the Uchiha clan joining forces!" Danzo's train of thought was very clear. He had already seen through all of these things. These days, he had already seen the extent of the things that could happen here. It was completely in pieces.

"The Uzumaki Clan and the Uchiha Clan are working together?" Hiruzen's eyes trembled slightly, then he shook his head and said, "This is impossible. The death of Hashirama is related to Madara. How can Mito-sama unite with the Uchiha Clan?"

"Then what if Mito-sama accidentally found out that we were the ones who caused the Uzumaki Clan extinction?" Danzo asked directly.

"This..." Hiruzen was instantly speechless. Indeed, there was no such thing as being invisible or being able to protect the secret forever. This was indeed the key point that needed to be noticed.

"The Uzumaki Clan extinction matter cannot withstand scrutiny. If Mito-sama investigates it, it is necessary to find out who wrote the scroll and who distributed the information. When attacking the Uzumaki clan, all forces have the same goal. They will not talk about this topic at all. However, if we go back to the past, it will be hard to say how things will develop." Danzo said in a deep voice. What he did was just a fake messenger. If there were no such persons after the investigation, it would be easy to know that there was a conspiracy.

"Just say it." Hiruzen nodded and made up his mind. He already knew what to do.

"Find a new Uzumaki Clan member and let her replace Uzumaki Mito and become the new Kyuubi Jinchuriki." Danzo immediately spoke out his thoughts.

"How is this possible?!" Hiruzen shook his head without hesitation. He felt that this kind of thing was not reliable at all. It was impossible to do it. He was clear that if the Bijuu left the Jinchuriki's body, there was only death.

"I can do it." Danzo nodded. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, revealing a rare smile. He said, "If we hand over the person who will be the last member of the Uzumaki Clan to Mito-sama, do you think Mito-sama will agree?"

"This..." Hiruzen suddenly widened his eyes. He stared at Danzo's bandaged face. The wound under the bandage was caused when he was working for him. He had given full authority to Danzo to do these shady things, but he found that Danzo was a bit too ruthless. It was so cruel that even he felt his heart tremble when he imagined it.

"After the Uzumaki clan was exterminated, Mito-sama would feel exhausted. At that time, her body would definitely decline further. Then, we said that we protected the last Uzumaki clan member. Then, she had no right to choose. If she had not taken the initiative to seal the Kyuubi on that clansman before she died, the Kyuubi would no longer be at the Uzumaki clan's hands after the Kyuubi gained freedom." Danzo analyzed seriously.

"Why would Mito-sama insist that the Kyuubi stay on the body of an Uzumaki clan?" Hiruzen was puzzled by this. This really touched his blind spot.

"It was not to stay on the Uzumaki clan's body but to preserve the last Uzumaki clan bloodline. Otherwise, who knew what kind of treatment the last member of the Uzumaki clan would suffer? At least, if she became the Kyuubi Jinchuriki, she would be protected by the village before she grew up. After she grew up, she could borrow Kyuubi's power to protect the Uzumaki clan's future. No matter what, she had to do it. This was not a loss to her, or it was worth it!" Danzo analyzed it logically. When he was preparing to exterminate the Uzumaki clan, he had already taken Mito's matter into consideration.

"Your proposal is indeed feasible, but how should I save a member of the Uzumaki clan in advance and the one who has the physique to house the Kyuubi? If, according to our previous plan, when the ninjas I lead arrive in the Country of Whirlpool, I'm afraid not a single member of the Uzumaki clan will be left!" Hiruzen said with a gloomy face. His face revealed a pondering expression.

"What you said is indeed a big problem. I have not thought of this yet. Now, it is just a rough idea, including who to find to become the Kyuubi Jinchuriki. I have not done a thorough investigation." The smile on Danzo's face disappeared. There were still many imperfections in his plan, which was a part that he had yet to figure out.

"How about this..."

Hiruzen's eyes immediately fell on the desk. He immediately pulled up the drawer, took out the kiseru from it, lit it with a match, and then took a puff.

"I'll write a letter too. Help me hand him over to someone."

After saying this, Hiruzen took a few puffs. This feeling was as if he was calming himself down.

"For whom?"

Danzo's exposed left eye stared at Hiruzen. His eyes were filled with doubt, and small question marks appeared on his head.

"You will know in a while."

Hiruzen smoked a few more times, then put down the kiseru in his hand and took out a scroll from the drawer.

After that.

He waved his pen.

He began to write lines of words on the scroll.

These words were relatively far away from Danzo.

He did not see them.

Moreover, Danzo could also feel that Hiruzen did not intend to let him see it. This caused a trace of dissatisfaction to arise in his heart.

It was as if he had been treated as an outsider by Hiruzen.

"Alright!"

After Hiruzen finished writing the scroll, he did not roll it up. Instead, he directly folded it and threw it at Danzo like a rag.

"I know you want to read it. It feels strange to be stared at when I write it. Now, after you finish reading it and seal the contents of this scroll, send it to me personally. You must hand it to that person precisely."

Hiruzen's expression was extremely serious. This was the only time he took himself off from the light.

If he was discovered...

Then all his previous efforts would be in vain!

"Alright!"

After Danzo received the scroll, his gaze immediately fell on the words on the scroll.

At the same time.

Aoba's attention was also focused on the words.

The content written on it.

For a moment, Danzo and Aoba, who were reading the memories, were shocked.

The person that Hiruzen wanted to give the scroll to was actually...
