Naruto: Betrayed From The Start

---

Konoha.

Root Base.

In Laboratory One, Danzo, having returned to Konoha, immediately went there.

He carefully removed Uchiha Kiske's pair of three-tomoe Sharingan from the vial and placed them in a human-sized nutrient tank for preservation.

"Not enough, I need more Sharingan."

Looking at the Sharingan in the transparent glass tank, Danzo muttered to himself, then left Laboratory One.

"Sir, the experimental subject sent by the Hokage is in Laboratory Two."

Outside the laboratory, the Root captain on duty told Danzo, who had just come out.

"Hmm."

Danzo nodded and snorted, without any reaction or intention to go to Laboratory Two. He went directly back to his office in the Root Base.

For Danzo now, the most urgent matter was how to continue assassinating Uchiha clan ninjas to obtain more Sharingan.

As for the experimental subject that the Third Hokage had mentioned, who possessed the secret of immunity to genjutsu, a powerful counter to the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, Danzo subconsciously touched his left eye and then laughed.

Heh!

Immunity to genjutsu?

With this Mangekyo Sharingan of Kagami, what is a mere Sharingan genjutsu?

Compared to the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, any ability to resist genjutsu is insignificant.

The power of the Sharingan doesn't lie in genjutsu.

It lies in the terrifying abilities inherent to the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Thinking of the purple figure, taller than a mountain, that he had once seen from afar, Danzo felt a surge of excitement.

As long as he could continue to possess the Mangekyo Sharingan of Kagami, he could maintain his strength on par with Hiruzen, or even surpass him.

And immense strength was the most fundamental basis for becoming Hokage.

Strength was his greatest guarantee of overthrowing Hiruzen and ascending to the position of Hokage.

Nothing could be more important than his continued possession of the Mangekyo Sharingan.

But... feeling the constant pain radiating from his left eye, Danzo's brow furrowed instantly, and he felt a growing sense of urgency.

The Sharingan of Kagami was highly incompatible with his body.

Even though he had sealed it with sealing jutsu, he couldn't stop the continuous damage to the Sharingan caused by his body's rejection.

Danzo could feel that he had at most one year left before the Mangekyo Sharingan in his left eye would be rendered useless.

If he didn't want to lose this Mangekyo Sharingan, he had to solve the problem of the Sharingan's incompatibility with his body.

Otherwise... he could only hope that the Sharingan forbidden jutsu that permanently destroyed one three-tomoe Sharingan after a single use could somehow change the reality of the Sharingan's incompatibility with his body.

But that jutsu also required many Sharingan for experimentation to find the secret hidden within the Sharingan.

In any case, regardless of which method he used, he needed many Sharingan for experimentation.

Therefore, Danzo needed to hunt down more Uchiha clan ninjas to obtain more Sharingan.

Returning to his office, one of the two deputies assigned to him by the Third Hokage was quickly summoned.

"Who is the next target?" Danzo asked directly.

Sarutobi Fudo, wearing the distinctive mask of Root, held a notebook in his hand. He was a younger relative of the Third Hokage and one of the people sent to monitor Danzo. Hearing Danzo's question, he flipped to a page in the notebook and said, "The famous genius brothers of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Luffy and Uchiha Ace."

The two brothers had once severely embarrassed the Third Hokage, and the Third Hokage had specifically chosen them as Root's second target.

"Brothers?" Danzo frowned and then asked, "How is their relationship?"

Sarutobi Fudo replied, "They lost their parents when they were young and have been dependent on each other since. Their relationship should be very good."

Hearing this, Danzo's frown deepened.

"Then we can only strike at the same time." Danzo murmured softly.

The closer the companions of the Uchiha clan were, the greater the impact of losing one.

Uchiha Luffy and Uchiha Ace were both three-tomoe Sharingan users and were also known as geniuses. If one of them was killed first, the other would inevitably receive the news and be severely mentally affected, giving them a slight chance of awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan.

This possibility... must be eliminated!

Danzo thought to himself.

The Uchiha clan's strength was on two completely different levels depending on whether they possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Even if Danzo could use the Mangekyo Sharingan of Kagami, he wasn't sure he could handle an Uchiha with the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Therefore, he must kill both Uchiha brothers simultaneously.

This would eliminate the possibility of the Mangekyo Sharingan awakening.

At the same time, he could obtain two pairs of three-tomoe Sharingan.

Smiling inwardly, Danzo directly asked again, "When will the assassination take place?"

The assassination of the Uchiha was assigned by the Third Hokage, who didn't trust Danzo yet.

Furthermore, the newly formed Root didn't have the necessary intelligence capabilities. Everything still required the cooperation of the Third Hokage before Danzo could act.

Sarutobi Fudo replied, "After they have completed five missions, we will start making detailed plans for the assassination."

"No." Danzo frowned, displeased. "Too long, do it sooner."

Five missions?

After five missions, it would be at least six months.

The Sharingan of Kagami didn't have that much time to wait.

Obtaining enough Sharingan sooner would increase the possibility of finding a way to reduce or even eliminate the Sharingan's rejection problem sooner.

"Sir Danzo."

Sarutobi Fudo explained, "Information about Uchiha Luffy and Uchiha Ace is still incomplete. The two brothers have limited combat records, and there is no accurate intelligence about their preferred jutsu. Therefore, we can only have them complete a few more missions, gather information about their abilities, and then carry out the assassination plan. This will ensure a foolproof operation."

"Twice." Danzo held up two fingers. "I'll give you a maximum of two missions to gather information."

"I'm sorry, Sir Danzo, that's not possible." Sarutobi Fudo shook his head.

"Hmm!" Danzo's eyes narrowed instantly, staring fixedly at Sarutobi Fudo. No one had dared to refuse him like this, except for Hiruzen.

"It's the Hokage's order." Faced with Danzo's challenging gaze, Sarutobi Fudo felt immense pressure, as if being stared at by a dark demon, sending chills down his spine. He could only quickly invoke the name of the Third Hokage.

But instead of not mentioning the Hokage, the moment he said it was the Hokage's order, Danzo felt a sharp pain in his already aching heart.

The words "I am the Hokage" seemed to echo in his ears.

"Hiruzen's order?"

A mere junior member of the Sarutobi clan dared to use the Hokage's name to pressure him. Danzo was truly enraged. He said angrily, "So what has Hiruzen been doing? Gathering information about Uchiha clan ninjas has been ongoing, hasn't it?"

"How come you can't even gather information on two Uchiha brats? You need five missions? Do you know how long five missions take?"

"Ah... do you?"

Danzo stood up and began to berate Sarutobi Fudo.

He didn't accept Sarutobi Fudo's explanation. In his opinion, Hiruzen, as the Hokage who inherited the will of the Second Hokage, should have firmly grasped the information about all the powerful individuals within the Uchiha clan.

Instead of gathering it through assigning missions when needed.

This would delay things considerably.

And he knew Hiruzen. He wasn't someone who would wait until the last minute.

Information about Uchiha Luffy and Uchiha Ace was definitely not as incomplete as Sarutobi Fudo claimed.

It shouldn't take five missions to gather it.

Faced with Danzo's accusations and distrust, Sarutobi Fudo was in a difficult position. He said wryly, "Sir Danzo, Uchiha clan members with three-tomoe Sharingan are not easy to assassinate."

"Without detailed information, trying to kill a three-tomoe Sharingan Uchiha in a short period of time is very likely to lead to accidents."

"If an accident happens..."

Sarutobi Fudo looked at Danzo, his words left unsaid, but the meaning was clear.

If an accident happened, no matter how well they concealed their identities during the attack, the Uchiha clan would become suspicious.

And it wouldn't take long for them to guess who was behind it.

After all, they were the Uchiha clan, who had ruled the ninja world alongside the Senju clan for hundreds of years during the Warring States period. No one could underestimate their intelligence.

Therefore, every assassination of an Uchiha clan ninja had to be foolproof.
