Chapter 710: Taking over the Land of Water?

Using the Swift Release, Danzo traversed the sea, his speed was extremely fast and in less than half a day, he had already crossed the small islands scattered on the sea between the Land of Hot Springs and the Land of Lightning and had entered the ocean between the Land of Water and the mainland of the Shinobi Continent.

Danzo is extremely confident that at this time no one is following him, whether they are Shinobi from any of the shinobi villages or the butterflies sent by Konan. He made sure to throw them off when he was passing the Land of Hotsprings, and later he also made sure to create three Wood Clones and send them in four different directions of the Shinobi Continent.

Despite using so many means, Danzo still did not dare take any chances and crossed the Ocean at his fastest speed without slowing down even once, he continued to use Swift Release regardless of the Chakra Consumption.

Danzo’s speed is so fast that if someone were to see the Ocean of the Land of Water from a high altitude, they would be able to see something cutting through the sea in a straight line as if an invisible long sword.

Of course, there is a reason why Danzo is in such a hurry!

He believes that he must complete taking over Kirigakure before the news from the Mainland reaches the Land of Water. As we all know, the Land of Water is isolated overseas, so the latest news and happenings on the mainland take relatively more time––in comparison to other countries on the mainland––to reach the doors of Kirigakure. This is why Danzo believes that Kirigakrue will become his temporary shelter as he recovers and make his moves to unite the entire Shinobi World.

In the previous battles, although he managed to defeat Six Paths of Pain, hundreds of Kusgakure shinobi, Raikage, Killer Bee, and dozens of Kumogakure Shinobi, as well as Orochimaru, Danzo is still very clear that he won’t be able to do much against Nagato and Yama with his current strength. So Danzo plans to hide for a while in Kirigakrue and figure out a way to lead Homusubi out of her hiding so that he can take her visual prowess in order to evolve his Dujutsu and become stronger.

Additionally, Danzo also needs an intelligence network. His Root subordinates are almost all dead, and none of Konoha’s shinobi will help him with the intelligence considering that he is a wanted man in Konoha’s Bingo Book, as such, he currently lacks the means of obtaining the latest intelligence of the shinobi world. Danzo believes that by taking over Kirigakrue, he will also get access to their intelligence network, and Kirigakure shinobi will become his eyes and ears.

As for the problem of taking over Kirigakure?

Danzo isn’t worried at all, he believes that it won’t be hard for him.

Even if Karatachi Yagura is known as one of the two Perfect Jinchuriki, Danzo is still confident, he possesses both Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and Wood Release, and both of them are the nemesis of Tailed Beasts. Danzo can easily defeat Yagura with his strength and put him as well as Sanbi in a powerful Genjutsu to control him and gain control over the entire Kirigakure from the shadows.

With such thoughts in his mind, Danzo further speeded up and after a few hours of running on the sea, he saw an Archipelago in the distance.

The appearance of the Archipelago means that he has entered the sphere of influence of the Land of Water, understanding this, Danzo slowed down and quietly crossed the islands while trying not to attract any attention from the Kirigakure shinobi present in the vicinity.

Danzo knows that he can’t reveal his whereabouts to the Kirigakure Shinobi yet because there is no guarantee whether they are spies from other forces, therefore, he plans to directly go to the Kirigakure and meet with their senior officials.

And he already has the excuse of meeting with the senior officials of Kirigakure.

Among the five shinobi that he absorbed during the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual, one is a member of the Terumi Clan from Kirigakure and possessed Boil Release Kekkei Genkai. A few months back, Danzo spread rumors about the problems in his soul, although those rumors may no longer be credible on the mainland because of his previous fights against Pain, Kusagakure, and Raikage, they will still work in Kirigakure as it will definitely take more time for them to learn about the happenings of the mainland.

Therefore, all he has to do is pretend to be that particular Kirigakure shinobi, just like he did with Raikage, and there will be a possibility of meeting the Mizukage in person. And once he meets Karatachi Yagura, then everything will go just as he planned.

With such thoughts in his mind, using the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in conjunction with Swift Release Danzo slipped past the Kirigakrue patrol and directly sneaked inside Kirigakure. It wasn’t until he arrived in front of the Mizukage Building did he deactivated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and revealed himself to the guards of the Mizukage Building.

“Who the hell are you?”

The sudden appearance of Danzo surprised the guards, making them vigilant.

Danzo clutched his chest with a painful expression and shouted hoarsely, “It’s me… Terumi Noriko… please inform Mei-sama that I have some important news to report to Mizukage-sama… hurry up… please tell Mei-sama that I am here before it’s too late!”

Somewhere in the Land of Waterfall

Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh

With the sound of breaking through wind, several figures arrived on the battlefield where Danzo and Six Paths of Pain fought not long ago.

“Hey… if I remember correctly, this area had a mountain, right?”

“Yeah, a mountain used to exist here… but what the hell happened to it, where did it go?”

“Was it crumbled because of Earthquake… or is it because of…?”

“Look closely, there are several traces of battle, meaning this is the result of a battle… an incredible battle must have occurred here, and in the aftermath of the battle, this mountain ended up destroyed.”

“Who could be responsible for such a large-scale destruction?”

Looking at the unrecognizable and dilapidated scene in front of him, the shinobis wearing the forehead protector of Iwagakure looked at each other in disbelief.

At this time, the captain of the team ordered, “Don’t stand in a daze… check the battlefield immediately and find anything you can… I have a hunch that another big thing is about to happen in the Shinobi World… we must figure out what exactly is going on and report back to the village.”

“Yes, captain!” All the Iwagakure shinobi responded with a nod and immediately spread all over the battlefield, carefully inspecting it.

Similar scenes occurred on the other battlefields as well where Danzo fought, whether it was in the Land of Grass, the Land of Frost, or the Land of Hot Springs, all these battlefields were being inspected by shinobi from various villages, collecting any and all information they could obtain and transmitted back to their villages at the fastest speed.

And the shinobi villages weren’t the only ones, even the Black Market also indulged in this.

Within the next few days, leaders of all the villages were also made aware of the records of his various battles. The most shocking was the record of his battle against the Akatsuki Organization and AB combination of Kumogakure.

At the same time, as all the information they have collected was put together a conclusion that Shimura Danzo has made his way towards the Chigiri Sea was proposed by all parties.

Considering his strength, speed, and the direction he was moving in, all parties realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately sent their envoys to the Land of Water.
