This Danzo Is Weird!

"Am I to be in charge of the embassy affairs...?"

Shisui wasn't particularly surprised by the task Danzo had assigned to him.

After all, he had known about this plan from Danzo's mouth for quite some time and had prepared himself.

Although the embassy was just an office dispatched by Konoha to be stationed within another country's territory, its covert functions and tasks were far more extensive than the two advisors had imagined.

First and foremost, the embassy would serve as a bridgehead for the export of Konoha's culture.

It was necessary to disseminate the excellent Will of Fire, allowing the people of other nations to gradually and subtly recognize the Will of Fire.

This could be simply summarized as—

Passing on the fire!

For those who also recognized and acknowledged the Will of Fire, it was essential to unite them firmly.

And among them, the outstanding individuals could be absorbed into Konoha, allowing them to experience the true Will of Fire.

Secondly, the embassy would also need to provide necessary help and assistance to the country's own staff stationed within that territory.

For example, assisting some Konoha merchants in coordinating related affairs, managing the intelligence personnel hidden within that country, or providing supplies and support to their own garrison, and so on.

In short, in Danzo's vision, these embassies were like important nodes on a spider web.

Only by maintaining and operating these nodes could a vast network capable of covering the entire ninja world ultimately be woven!

"Amegakure, I've already made the arrangements. Get ready and set off as soon as possible," Danzo said to his top disciple.

Then, he handed over the contact information of the Root members' informants buried in various countries to Shisui.

"From now on, you will command their actions."

Looking at the scroll in his hand, which recorded a large amount of intelligence personnel information, Shisui suddenly felt a bit panicked.

"Teacher, is it too risky to just hand this over to me?"

Shisui wasn't worried about betraying Konoha; rather, he was concerned that he might not have the sufficient capability to handle these matters properly.

After all, this was related to the vast intelligence network that Konoha had set up within these countries.

A single mistake could potentially lead to the sacrifice of countless intelligence personnel...

In response, Danzo simply patted Shisui's shoulder gently.

"Don't worry. Since I've handed this list to you, it means I trust your ability. Go ahead and do it boldly."

Feeling Danzo's trust, Shisui felt a warmth in his heart and nodded firmly:

"I understand. I will not let you down, teacher!"

Three days later, Uchiha Shisui, the newly appointed Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, finally embarked on his journey.

Although he was only an acting minister, with the identity of the "Disciple of the Darkness of the Shinobi World," his words carried more weight in the Foreign Affairs Department than the original minister's!

Even the old employees left by Homura Mitokado dared not go against him in the slightest.

After all, no matter how young Shisui was, he was still the disciple of that person.

The power he wielded was not limited to just the Foreign Affairs Department.

If you offended him, weren't you afraid of encountering a group of bandits with the strength of jōnin while on a mission?

With the full support of the Uchiha clan, Shisui could easily take control of the entire Foreign Affairs Department.

And his first diplomatic mission was to the war-torn Hidden Rain Village.

When Shisui arrived at the Hidden Rain Village with supplies worth two hundred million ryo, he was met with a surging crowd lining the streets.

And standing in the middle of the road, smiling and waiting, was the blue-haired girl—Konan!

Konan had now smoothly risen to the upper echelons of the Hidden Rain Village.

Her presence to welcome Shisui was a gesture of respect towards Konoha and Danzo.

"Welcome, Minister Shisui," Konan said with a gentle smile, extending her hand for a handshake.

Shisui responded with a shy smile and said modestly:

"Senior Konan, just call me Shisui."

Konan shook her head and teased:

"We are also disciples of Jiraiya-sensei, and you are a disciple of Lord Danzo. By seniority, you should be my senior."

Shisui laughed and said:

"In that case, it seems that Konoha and the Hidden Rain Village truly have a special bond, like neighbors separated only by a river!"

"No wonder our teacher always speaks highly of the Hidden Rain Village, saying he wants to strongly support its independent construction!"

With that, Shisui pointed to the long line of carriages behind him.

"These are the two hundred million ryo worth of supplies specially approved by our teacher for the Hidden Rain Village. It may not be much, but it is a gesture of goodwill from Konoha."

Looking at the carriages filled with supplies, Konan couldn't help but smile.

Because the current Hidden Rain Village was in dire need of such support!

"I am truly grateful to Lord Danzo. Honestly, without his help, Akatsuki would not have been able to achieve victory so smoothly," Konan said, her words filled with gratitude.

Danzo was indeed a great benefactor to the Akatsuki organization.

Without his initial warning, Akatsuki would probably have been destroyed by Hanzo's conspiracy long ago.

He later provided a great deal of ideological guidance and even saved Konan and Yahiko in the final battle.

It could be said that the success of the Akatsuki organization was entirely due to Danzo's efforts.

Therefore, during the following days, Shisui received unprecedented hospitality in the Hidden Rain Village.

Even the establishment of the embassy was easily approved unanimously by the three top leaders of the Hidden Rain Village.

Given Danzo's kindness to them, an embassy was nothing.

Even if you wanted to build ten embassies, they wouldn't bat an eyelid!

Everything went smoothly.

So, after delivering all the supplies and arranging the location, construction, and other matters of the embassy, Shisui left the Hidden Rain Village.

Next, he visited the emerging town located on the border mountain range between the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind in the west of the Land of Rain—

Trading City.

This was a name personally chosen by Danzo.

The meaning behind it was self-evident.

With the strong support of Konoha, this city, led by the Nara clan and jointly funded by the Uchiha, Hyuga, and other clans, had already begun to take shape.

A large number of merchants from the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind came here to trade various goods.

What was once a barren mountain range had transformed into one of the most prosperous towns in the eastern part of the Land of Wind and the western part of the Land of Rain.

At the same time, it was also one of the important transit points for Konoha.

All the steel mined from the western mining area of the Land of Wind had to be transported through here.

The troops stationed in the mining area also needed to come here regularly to obtain supplies.

This was also an important reason why Danzo wanted to set up an embassy here.

The existence of the embassy could better convey the village's orders and prevent the emergence of regional separatism.

After having a cordial conversation with the first mayor of Trading City, Nara Shikaku, Shisui also visited the Konoha troops stationed in the mining area.

Subsequently, Shisui, the Foreign Minister, set off again, this time heading to the Land of Water.

The situation in the Land of Water was much more complex than in the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind.

Thanks to the previous "Will of Fire Classroom," at this moment, Konoha's intelligence personnel were present in every industry within the Land of Water.

Just integrating and processing this intelligence was enough to give Shisui a headache.

Therefore, he decided to locate the embassy in a port called "Seabird."

This would save a segment of the sea route and allow for more timely handling and response to various intelligence.

——————

All of Shisui's actions were observed by the Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi.

"I didn't expect that Danzo would eventually extend his reach here."

In the Hidden Mist Village, in the Mizukage's office.

Yagura Karatachi looked at the intelligence in front of him, and his face darkened.

As the Mizukage, he was naturally aware of the internal situation in the Land of Water.

Under Danzo's infiltration, the entire Hidden Mist Village, and even the entire Land of Water, was already riddled with holes.

Any order issued by Yagura Karatachi would likely appear on Danzo's desk within a day.

Although this might sound exaggerated, it indeed reflected the current predicament of the Hidden Mist Village.

Under such circumstances, the entire Hidden Mist Village was filled with a strong sense of distrust.

People were suspicious and suspicious of each other.

Even he, the Fourth Mizukage, had very few trustworthy confidants left.....

"Damn it!!"

Yagura Karatachi became more and more angry the more he thought about it, to the point that the tailed beast chakra within him unconsciously leaked out.

"Hehe....."

Suddenly, a soft chuckle rang out.

The air in front of Yagura Karatachi began to rapidly swirl, and a man wearing a tiger-striped mask silently emerged from it.

"Who are you?"

Yagura Karatachi immediately grabbed the hook-shaped weapon beside him, exuding a strong killing intent!

The Mizukage's office was the most heavily guarded place in the Hidden Mist Village.

How did this guy manage to break through here so silently?

Could it be....

Konoha?

At this thought, the killing intent on Yagura Karatachi intensified.

Sensing this intense killing intent, Obito was not the slightest bit nervous, but simply said with a smile:

"Don't get so excited, Lord Mizukage."

"I'm here to help you."

Unfortunately, Yagura Karatachi had no trust at all in this guy who suddenly appeared in front of him.

The tailed beast chakra within him surged instantly, and in a moment, the entire office was enveloped in a cold atmosphere.

"Tsk, it seems I really have to speak with power, huh?"

Obito's tone seemed a bit impatient.

Then, with his hands in his pockets, he slowly bent his body forward.

With this movement, the Mangekyo Sharingan beneath his mask was finally fully revealed.

The next second, a terrifying eye power burst out, firmly suppressing the tailed beast within Yagura Karatachi.

"Yagura, it's the Mangekyo!"

The suppressed Sanbi urgently said to Yagura Karatachi in the spiritual space.

"Another Mangekyo?"

Yagura Karatachi's face darkened upon receiving the feedback.

Damn Uchiha, wasn't the Mangekyo supposed to be rare? Why is it now being mass-produced like this!

"As I said, Lord Mizukage, I am here to help you."

After suppressing the tailed beast's rampage, Uchiha Obito had to re-emphasize what he had just said.

Upon hearing this, Yagura Karatachi narrowed his eyes and said coldly:

"Who exactly are you?"

Under the gaze of the other party, Uchiha Obito casually sat on the desk in front of Yagura Karatachi and said in a frivolous tone:

"I wonder if you have heard of..."

"Uchiha Madara."

Faced with Obito's question, Yagura Karatachi replied coldly:

"Of course I have heard of that name, but you can't possibly be telling me that you are the legendary person of the ninja world who, along with the God of Shinobi, established Konoha several decades ago?"

"Bingo!"

Obito snapped his fingers and said with a grin:

"You guessed it, I am that legendary person of the ninja world..."

"...'s descendant."

...

Although the guy in front of him had the Mangekyo, Yagura Karatachi couldn't help but show a speechless expression.

Seemingly realizing that his performance was a bit awkward, Obito quickly coughed.

"Well, let's not joke around."

"Actually, I am an Uchiha clan member who was forced to become a Konoha renegade due to Danzo's persecution."

Uchiha Obito casually fabricated a reason.

As for this reason...

Yagura Karatachi quickly accepted it.

Because forcing the Uchiha clan to rebel and then killing them was just too in line with Danzo's character!

"So?"

He frowned and stared at the masked man in front of him.

Seeing that Yagura Karatachi accepted his story so quickly, Obito satisfactorily spread his hands.

"So, I am planning to invite you to join the..."

"Anti-Danzo Alliance!"
