Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

This new piece of intelligence immediately aroused Danzo's interest.

If Amatsukami and Akatsuki are really hostile towards one another, there will be a lot of room for maneuvering, and he would even be able to sit at the top watching the two organizations destroying themselves. ​​

Therefore, he stopped his thought midway and questioned, "The two organizations are hostile? Is there any relevant information that confirms this?"

The root Anbu nodded, "According to the reports we have received the small-scale war a few months ago that destroyed a large part of the forest and we suspected Orochimaru's involvement in it because of the clues found there was actually a fight between Kakuzu of Akatsuki and Suijin of Amatsukami, the specific situation is not known but the first part can be confirmed."

Danzo nodded and asked, "What was the reason for the conflict?"

"The bounty exchange master seems to be unaware of the cause but considering the fact that Kakuzu has commissioned the Black-Market to investigate 'Yama' only a few months prior to that conflict, the bounty exchange master speculates that Akatsuki and Amatsukami might have some disputes over the quota of bounty tasks."

Danzo sneered at this speculation.

Although the bounty tasks in Black-market Circle are limited, there would never be a shortage for such strong individuals like Akatsuki and Amatsukami, so thinking that the dispute was caused because of the quota of bounty task is utterly foolish.

There has to be some other reason which they have yet to figure out.

Thinking so, Danzo ordered the Root Anbu to leave, while he himself got up from the wooden chair he sat on and walked back and forth in his office mulling over all the information he has in his hands up to now.

According to the intelligence obtained so far, Danzo has gained a general understanding of Akatsuki. Their operation structure, the behavior of the various members, identities and et cetera are all within his scope of understanding, except that current their leader is a bit too mysterious but they do make an extraordinarily strong mercenary organization.

However, Amatsukami is completely different.

Up to now they only know some bits and pieces about their members. For all they know, they are only aware of four members of Amatsukami of which the abilities of the two are also not clear.

Danzo never expected that even after carrying out such a large-scale operation, involving hundreds of shinobi not only in the Land of Fire but also the surrounding nations, he still could not dig out even the slightest of useful intelligence about Amatsukami. If not for the several outstanding and remarkable record of Amatsukami in the recent period, Danzo would even doubt whether Amatsukami really exist?

Thinking so, he started reviewing his thoughts, connecting dots about all the actions that Amatsukami took part in, and after going over these dots many times, he suddenly thought of something and that's when he felt that he grasped something about Amatsukami.

The fact that there is no information about Amatsukami is also a piece of information in itself.

The fact that no intelligence about Amatsukami can be dug. If you look at this from another perspective it would imply that there is actually no clue, to begin with!

Imagine that even an organization as fierce and strong as Akatsuki also needs to use Black-Market Circle and various private intelligence agents to collect information about their targets all over the shinobi world, then why does Amatsukami not need to use the underground intelligence networks for obtaining all the intelligence they need?

There is only one answer, that is, Amatsukami has another intelligence network.

With the reputation that Amatsukami has about their high efficiency and precise shots, it wouldn't be wrong if Danzo infers that the intelligence network that Amatsukami uses is absolutely superior to that underground intelligence network.

And in the shinobi world, there are only five shinobi villages that surpass the underground intelligence network.

'Is it possible that Amatsukami is actually just an empty shell organization created by a certain shinobi village?' – this thought appeared in Danzo's mind.

"Kirigakure has just gone through civil strife against their major clans so they can be ruled out, they have neither strength nor the willingness to do this kind of thing… first they would do is get rid of their own troubles!"

"Sunagakure is under suppression from the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, so their power is continuously decreasing, Sunagakure is also an ally, so they can be excluded for the time being…"

"If it was Kumogakure, then there was no need to sacrifice their Head shinobi, they could have used so many other excuses to start the war, not to mention they wouldn't have agreed to the peace treaty itself, 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 really was Iwagakure, they could have just killed Watanabe and disappeared, why would they bother to take the risk of taking his body to the Black-market exchange shop? They would obviously make sure that the suspicion of Watanabe's death falls on Konoha's head! Moreover, it is also impossible for Iwagakure to recruit an Uchiha with the Mangekyou Sharingan, not to mention with the shadow in Onoki's heart it would be impossible for him to trust an Uchiha!"

With the process of elimination, Danzo denied the four possibilities and he was again in a bit of confusion.

'Does that mean Konoha?' was another thought, but how can such an organization be formed in Konoha without him knowing about it?

Then he suddenly thought of 'Uchiha' and again as if a light bulb was lit he thought, 'Is it possible that Uchiha Clan has been doing all of this?'

Uchiha Clan is currently the most notable and superior shinobi Clan in Konoha, even after they are being constantly suppressed thanks to his efforts, the strength of the Uchiha Clan is without a doubt unquestionable.

As for Homusubi, there is a ready-made Uchiha Shisui with the Mangekyou Sharingan, therefore, theoretically, the Uchiha Clan can have two members impersonating as the members of Amatsukami, one of them being Homusubi, and the other being Suijin if he has somehow managed to awaken Ice Release, or maybe employ someone to play Suijin.

But thinking so, Danzo suddenly frowned.

Because he suddenly found a loophole in his own speculation, that is, why would the Uchiha Clan attack the Kumogakure Head ninja and then take the risk of sending his body to the Black-market circle?

If they somehow wanted to provoke conflict between Konoha and Kumo, and use it to their advantage then why would they sent his body to the Black-market circle… this is a completely contradictory behavior.

Not to mention, Uchiha Clan does not lack money, so it couldn't be just bounty, right?

Shaking his head to dispel this last absurd thought, Danzo suddenly had an absolutely genius idea, then an evil grin flashed on his face.

It's because he suddenly realized that this is a very good opportunity to deal with Uchiha Shisui and seize his Mangekyou Sharingan!

Tap… Tap…

Soon, Danzo tapped his crutch on the ground.

Listening to the sound, an Anbu ninja who was guarding outside walked in and asked, "Danzo-sama, what does this subordinate need to do?"

Danzo said in a cold tone, "Secretly spread a rumor all over Konoha that Uchiha Shisui is Homusubi of Amatsukami!"

"!!!...Yes, Danzo-sama!" – The Root Anbu was surprised, but he soon recovered and left the office to fulfill the instructions he was given.

At this time, Danzo suddenly regained his confidence.

He has no proof that Uchiha Shisui is Homusubi of Amatsukami, but for him, the presence of evidence is not important, all he needs is a rightful excuse to deal with Uchiha Shisui and get his hands on the pair of Mangekyou Sharingan.

There are already many shinobi he has dealt with, and Uchiha Shisui wouldn't be an exception.

Just like he secretly dealt with Konoha's White Fang, Hatake Sakumo.

At that time, Hatake Sakumo's fame had even surpassed the level of prestige of the Sannin, and the name of Konoha's White Fang was feared throughout the Shinobi world.

If such a character was not contained, the threat to the Hokage Faction would have been too great, moreover, Danzo even feared that things would have started to get out of his hands, had White Fang's reputation continued to grow.

Therefore, he used the opportunity of Hatake Sakumo's mission failure and used his Root Anbu to make that secret piece of news a piece of public information by exaggerating it several times. As such the secret information that should have been sealed in the mission archives became the talk of the town, and Hatake Sakumo's prestige quickly fell.

It is just that Shimura Danzo never expected that Hatake Sakumo attached such importance to honor and facing the accusation and cold eyes of the same people he risked his life to save, in the end, he chose to commit suicide in silence.

But all that is not important for now, what's important is that he gets his hand on Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan and successfully eliminates the threat of the Uchiha Clan from the village, Konoha does not need Uchiha Clan, so it wouldn't matter if Uchiha Shisui does the same thing.
