"Wooden Release: The birth of the tree world!"

As Shimura Danzo quickly formed seals with his palms, a large amount of chakra in his body was quickly transformed into Wooden Chakra.

Bang bang!!

With Shimura Danzo as the center, a large number of trees continue to break out of the ground and grow rapidly, forming a small forest.

"Although it's still not as good as the First Generation, it should be enough to deal with Soyousuke." Shimura Danzo looked at the hundreds of big trees around him and showed a proud smile.

After more than twenty days of practice, his Mu Dun has improved by more than one point or two.

This gave Danzo Shimura the feeling that he was a unique wood-bending genius.

It's not that Danzo Shimura is narcissistic, but that's the reality.

If it wasn't his own talent, could it be because of "Uchiha Madara's" experiment?

That's too illogical. How could "Uchiha Madara" be so kind to help him improve his strength.

Danzo Shimura now has an inexplicable confidence, feeling that even if he does not have the Ninja sect inheritance and the Rinnegan, he can surpass Sarutobi Hiruzen in strength after practicing like this for a year.

Of course, Shimura Danzo will definitely not let go of the Ninja sect inheritance and the Samsara Eye. The more good things the merrier.

After training, Shimura Danzo returned to the root base and summoned all the root ninjas in Konoha.

Now there are only six days left before the agreed siege date. All the roots' forces in other places have been arranged to the Kingdom of Rain, and only the root ninjas of Konoha are still on standby.

"Danzo-sama, all personnel have arrived and are ready to carry out the mission at any time." A root ninja reported to Shimura Danzo.

"Give this to Mu Yue." Danzo Shimura nodded, took out a scroll and handed it to the root ninja.

The safest option is to wait until Muyue sets off before handing over the task to Muyue, but Danzo Shimura is worried that an accident may occur if the time card is too tight.

Forget it if it's someone else, this time it's about his own safety, so he can't be careless.

Danzo Shimura then selected the weakest newcomer to guard the root base, and then ordered the root ninjas to leave the village in batches and rush to the Land of Rain.

As for Shimura Danzo himself, he did not leave immediately, but went to the Hokage Building.

He wouldn't be able to show up in Konoha for the next few days, so he had to show his face in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen before leaving.

He had been like this these past few days, showing his face to Sarutobi Hiruzen every four to six days to make his presence felt.

Shimura Danzo walked to the door of the Hokage's office. When he was about to push the door open, his hand stopped in mid-air.

Boom, Danzo Shimura knocked on the door of the Hokage's office.

After all, he is an old classmate and comrade-in-arms. When thinking about what he will do in the future, Shimura Danzo feels that he should give Sarutobi Hiruzen more respect now.

"Come in." Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice came from the office.

Shimura Danzo pushed open the wooden door and walked into the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Shimura Danzo in surprise. When he heard the knock on the door, he thought someone was coming to report the mission, but he didn't expect it to be Shimura Danzo.

"Danzo, what's the matter with you? If it's still the same thing as before, there's no need to talk about it." Hiruzen Sarutobi put down the document in his hand and asked.

Although it is a good habit to knock on the door, after all, this is Shimura Danzo, and Sarutobi Hiruzen always has the feeling that being attentive to someone for nothing is a traitor or a thief.

"Of course not." Shimura Danzo felt a little unhappy when he saw that his rare polite gesture did not receive a good response.

"It's off-duty time now. I just want to see if you have finished handling your official duties. If so, I would like to invite you to have a drink." Danzo Shimura said calmly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a surprised expression, even more surprised than when he saw Danzo Shimura knocking on the door just now.

"The official business is almost done, but are you sure you want to treat me to a drink?"

Although Shimura Danzo was not born into poverty, and he has good strength and does not lack the ability to make money, Shimura Danzo is inexplicably frugal.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had never seen Danzo Shimura invite anyone to dinner.

This is rare among ninjas, because ninjas have high incomes, and it is common for them to invite friends to dinner after a mission.

Compared with the cost of ninja tools and secret cultivation medicine, treating guests to dinner really doesn't cost much.

"Forget it if you don't drink." Danzo Shimura turned to leave with a dark face.

"Drink, of course." Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed with a smile.

If someone else invited him, Hiruzen Sarutobi would most likely be too lazy to go. Danzo Shimura had to go once to invite Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Considering the impact, the two of them did not eat in the store. Instead, they had someone buy wine and snacks to go with the meal, and ate at Danzo Shimura's house.

"Why do you want to treat me to a drink today? Let's agree first that we won't talk about work while eating." Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up the skewers in the bowl and said leisurely.

Shimura Danzo's behavior was a bit abnormal. Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that Shimura Danzo might want to find another way to pass his proposal at the wine table.

"If you want, please do it." Danzo Shimura said calmly.

The reason why he never treated guests before was simple: he didn't want to spend money on other people, and Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others were not short of money anyway.

As for why he wanted to treat today, Shimura Danzo was a little unclear. It was just that he wanted to treat Sarutobi Hiruzen to a meal on a whim.

Seeing that Shimura Danzo really just wanted to treat him to a meal, Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the unfinished skewers and picked up his wine glass.

"It's really rare. Ever since I became Hokage, I haven't had a drink with you or En and the others." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was ordered to become Hokage when he was in danger. For a long time when he became Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi was so busy that he rarely went home, let alone have dinner with friends.

It wasn't that busy later, but now everything was different. Sarutobi Hiruzen was the Hokage, Mitomon Enshimura Danzo and the others were elders and assistants to the Hokage.

Although we are still friends, due to various reasons, the way we get along has gradually changed, and we can no longer joke and drink as freely as before.

"Hmph." Danzo Shimura couldn't help snorting.

In his opinion, Sarutobi Hiruzen is completely Versailles. If the position of Hokage is given to him, he can live in the Hokage's office every day.

"If the teacher had not sacrificed back then, the result might not have been like this."

Shimura Danzo felt that the situation was so critical that Senju Tobirama lost a certain amount of judgment, so he directly appointed Sarutobi Hiruzen as the Third Hokage.

If there was fair competition, he would not necessarily lose to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Indeed, if the teacher had not sacrificed, Konoha would be more prosperous now." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said.

Whether as Hokage or as a master of Ninjutsu development, the loss of Senju Tobirama is a huge loss to Konoha.

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen had misunderstood what he meant, Danzo Shimura didn't bother to explain and continued chatting.

"Hiruzhan, sometimes you have to be decisive. We are the strongest ninja village and we have to show our majesty."

"It is necessary to establish majesty, but it should not be to summon an army to invade other countries."

While chatting, the two had a quarrel because of their different political opinions. No one compromised and both insisted on their own opinions.

Danzo Shimura thought Hiruzen Sarutobi was indecisive, and Hiruzen Sarutobi thought Danzo Shimura was too radical.

When the bottle bottomed out, Shimura Danzo immediately started collecting his things, silently announcing the end of the gathering.

Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled dumbly, stood up and said goodbye before leaving.

After losing sight of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura returned to the root base.

"I wasted eight hundred taels." Shimura Danzo felt that even if he invited Sarutobi Hiruzen, he might as well spend the eight hundred taels to buy Yamato something to eat.

If he buys Yamato food, at least Yamato will be grateful to him, but if he invites Sarutobi Hiruzen to drink, he will still have to suffer.

At this time, there were only four ninjas in the root base. Except for one ninja who stayed at the base, the remaining three were waiting for Shimura Danzo to set off together.

After returning to the root base, Danzo Shimura went to a secret room.

"This time is too dangerous, and one insurance policy is not enough." Shimura Danzo thought as he took out a box filled with unknown liquid from the secret room mechanism.

Shimura Danzo quickly opened the box and took out a bloody eye.

He is preparing to transplant the second Sharingan.

Since he, who is not an Uchiha, cannot actively close the Sharingan after transplantation, even if Shimura Danzo mastered the Uchiha's forbidden technique Izanagi, he only had a Sharingan transplanted.

First, if the Sharingan cannot be closed, it will continue to consume chakra. Second, if both eyes are transplanted, both eyes must be covered, which looks too strange.

Now that he has transplanted Hashirama cells, chakra is no longer a problem. The most important thing is that competing with "Uchiha Madara" for the Samsara Eye will be very dangerous, and Shimura Danzo wants to have an extra layer of protection.

The transplant operation was completed quickly, and when Danzo Shimura opened his eyes, he felt that his condition was better than ever.

"Is there any connection between Senju and Uchiha? Why does it feel like this when the Sharingan is transplanted now?" Danzo Shimura was a little confused.

When transplanting a Sharingan, Shimura Danzo felt that he had added a life-saving trump card to himself and a permanent negative state.

In terms of combat ability, he is weaker with a Sharingan than he was before the Sharingan was transplanted.

But now that he has Hashirama's cells and an extra Sharingan transplanted, he feels that he has become stronger, which surprises Danzo Shimura.

He just wanted to increase fault tolerance, but he didn't expect it to be strengthened.

"Danzo-sama." A root member handed over a special piece of cloth.

Shimura Danzo didn't think too much and picked up gauze to cover his eyes. These can all be studied later. The most important thing now is to get the Ninja Sect inheritance and the Samsara Eye.

When it comes to making trouble, Danzo Shimura is very capable and quickly arrived at the Rain Ninja Village with the Root Ninja.

"Danzo, your eyes?" Hanzo discovered that Shimura Danzo no longer wrapped his head and right eye with a bandage, but covered his eyes with an opaque cloth.

"It's just a small matter, it won't hinder our plan." Danzo Shimura said calmly.
