Uchiha, starting from the destruction of the ninja world

Chapter 33 The Closed Sharingan

Deep within the roots, a dark and gloomy space.

Danzo Shimura stood alone in the center of the room, his posture upright, but his expression revealed a hint of doubt.

He had just dozed off without realizing it while standing, a situation that was extremely strange for someone who was always on high alert.

What's even stranger is that in that brief dream, he seemed to see some future scenes he had never imagined.

Especially that Rinnegan boy from Amegakure, staring coldly at him with deep-seated hatred and anger.

Those purple eyes seemed to pierce through Danzo's deepest defenses, instantly filling him with an indescribable fear.

In his dream, Danzo even vaguely felt that he had been mercilessly killed once by the owner of the Rinnegan.

However, the moment he fell into this hallucination of death, he suddenly woke up, his whole body drenched in cold sweat.

The moment Danzo opened his eyes, his breathing became rapid, and his chest heaved violently.

Before his fear had completely subsided, he noticed that one of the Sharingan eyes implanted in his right arm had closed without warning, and its power had completely dissipated.

Not only did his eye power dissipate and his Sharingan close, but even the condition of his skin appeared much younger...

Looking at himself in the mirror, Danzo noticed that his wrinkles were decreasing in the opposite direction, and he pondered the reason.

Could it be because the Wood Release cells are constantly activating the body?

But why is one of the Sharingan eyes closed?

He knew perfectly well that these Sharingan eyes he had transplanted into his body would not lose their power for no reason unless they suffered fatal injuries or Izanagi was activated.

He had only closed his eyes briefly and could not possibly have encountered any fatal threat.

Could it be that the bizarre yet vivid dream I just had wasn't an illusion, but a reality that actually happened?

Has he really already been killed once?

A chill ran down Danzo's spine as he thought about it, finding it increasingly unbelievable.

This feeling of extreme unease made Danzo feel more agitated and anxious than ever before.

He calmed down a little and forced himself to sort out his thoughts.

Danzo quickly replaced the Sharingan with a spare, but his mind was still not at peace.

"Lord Danzo!"

At that moment, a Root ninja suddenly appeared silently in front of him, respectfully knelt on one knee, and whispered the urgent intelligence he had just obtained.

"speak."

Danzo uttered a single word, trying to conceal his inner anxiety and confusion, his face regaining its usual coldness and gloom.

"There are two pieces of information. First, Sasuke Uchiha has gone missing at Konoha Hospital and his whereabouts are currently unknown; second, Jiraiya has just left the village and headed to Amegakure."

Upon hearing the first piece of information, Danzo frowned, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

Uchiha Sasuke has disappeared?

Based on his years of experience in the ninja world and his keen intuition, Danzo immediately focused his suspicions on Orochimaru.

Orochimaru had an almost pathological desire for the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, especially for a young Uchiha like Sasuke who possessed extraordinary talent; he found it an irresistible temptation.

"Hmph, that guy, he finally couldn't resist making a move, huh?"

He knew perfectly well that Orochimaru's ambitions would not remain superficial, nor would he be content to wait quietly. Sasuke's disappearance this time was almost certainly Orochimaru's doing.

But the second piece of intelligence...

Jiraiya actually went to Amegakure?

Danzo knew that Jiraiya's trip was definitely to investigate the Akatsuki organization and the mysterious leader with the Rinnegan.

"Amegakure Village..."

Danzo muttered to himself, recalling the Rinnegan filled with hatred that he had just seen in his dream, and a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart.

Regarding the conflict between Amegakure and Akatsuki...

He remembered it very clearly, of course...

The murderous intent and hatred that the Rinnegan felt towards him in his dream was not unfounded, but rather represented a great threat and warning.

"Jiraiya, you're such a busybody."

Inside the Hokage's office.

At this moment, Tsunade was sitting at the table opposite Hiruzen Sarutobi, with all sorts of files and documents spread out in front of her. The most eye-catching of them all was the detailed record of Uchiha Abe.

However, as Tsunade carefully flipped through the documents page by page, her brows gradually furrowed, and an indescribable unease and doubt arose in her heart.

"That's strange..."

Tsunade's fingers, which were flipping through the files, paused slightly. "Grandpa, something about these files just doesn't seem right."

Hiruzen paused slightly upon hearing this, but did not respond immediately, remaining silent for a moment.

"You're right, Tsunade..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi finally sighed, his expression quite complex as he admitted...

"I'm not entirely unfamiliar with Uchiha Gen..."

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Tsunade's eyes, and her expression became more serious: "Grandpa, you actually know him?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly nodded, opened his drawer, took out a stack of documents, and then began to recall some things from many years ago.

After a moment, the Third Hokage made up his mind and said, "In fact, back when Uchiha Gen was still studying at the Ninja Academy, he wrote us quite a few letters."

"letter?"

Tsunade was slightly taken aback upon hearing this...

"But I went through his entire file and didn't find any relevant record at all? Just a short essay..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head with a wry smile: "Actually, he wrote many similar articles... because these were hidden in his school assignments and diaries, conveyed to us in a very subtle way."

"Operation...?"

"You mean, this child deliberately used his school assignments to convey his thoughts to the village leadership?"

"That's right. At first, we didn't take it to heart, simply thinking it was some nonsense written by a young, lonely child who wanted attention."

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt extremely ashamed when this matter was brought up...

"We were so careless back then..."

"If we had been a little more careful back then, perhaps the situation wouldn't be so difficult now."

When this matter was mentioned, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a little regretful...

Those letters...

Just like in that last short essay, back then, Uchiha Awakening still had a lot of trust in the Konoha leadership.

Therefore, he wanted to use this method to change the fate of the Uchiha clan that he had predicted.

Yes...

Long ago, Uchiha Gen had predicted the fate of the Uchiha clan and actively offered many suggestions...

However, these things were overlooked back then...

In fact, we were...very unfair to him...
