Danzo's entire attention was now focused on the interior of the Uchiha clan below. He felt that this was in Konoha, and this operation was very confidential. Very few people knew that he would appear here, so naturally, there wouldn't be too many people around.
But what he didn't know was that at this time, there was already a person quietly creeping to his side. The current Uchiha clan had just been exterminated. Shimura Danzo had yet to acquire many Sharingan, and even the Wood Release cells from Hashirama Senju had not yet been implanted in his body. At this time, Shimura Danzo was just an ordinary Wind Release ninja, with at most a few sealing techniques, far less powerful than his later self during the Five Kage Summit battle with Sasuke.
Then, after a moment of silence in the air, Inuzuka Yu, one of the two bodyguards beside Shimura Danzo, seemed to suddenly feel a strange aura. This aura appeared extremely abruptly, but it was very close to them. He hurriedly shouted in panic, "Lord Danzo, be careful..."
Because it was a sneak attack, Ren made his move very quickly. Without any precautions, even a Root ninja of the Jōnin level found it difficult to make timely defenses in an instant.
"Pfft!" A sound. A kunai, extremely clean and neat, pierced the throat of the Inuzuka clan ninja. All this happened so suddenly! Almost in the blink of an eye, a Root ninja fell in front of them.
"Protect Lord Danzo!" Then another guard shouted loudly. The remaining three guards became vigilant. They formed a triangular guard formation around Shimura Danzo, protecting him closely. Then the three guards immediately released their senses fully and watched their surroundings vigilantly. However, their brows soon furrowed because, with their Jōnin strength, they couldn't even trace the presence of the person who had just attacked, which was extremely strange!
"Lord Danzo, it seems that the other party is a master of concealment, please be more careful!" One of the guards said respectfully to Shimura Danzo.
"Who the fuck is that?!" Shimura Danzo roared angrily, his eyes filled with rage. He had no idea that in Konoha Village, someone would dare to assassinate him! But, in response to his outcry, there was only a dead silence in the air.
Time passed by every second. On the foreheads of the three guards around Shimura Danzo, a layer of fine sweat had risen. They didn't dare to be careless at all. After all, they didn't have many troops around them now. They had to protect the safety of Lord Danzo, and they didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. They were in the light, and the assassin was in the dark, which was very unfavorable to them. Moreover, the strength of that assassin was definitely not weak. In addition to a very powerful ability to hide their presence, the other party could kill a Jōnin-level ninja right in front of them, and their own strength was definitely worthy of their fear!
At this time, Ren had already used a Hidden Mask to conceal his presence again. He quietly hid in a position not far away, observing everything, and did not make any rash moves. Just now, with a thunderous strike, he had achieved results that he was very satisfied with. Now Shimura Danzo was full of fear! Purpose achieved!
Ren was thinking about the next plan in his heart. Although his current strength was also very good, in terms of taijutsu confrontation, even against a Jōnin-level ninja, he was fully capable of handling them in two moves. Even with a sneak attack, it would not be a problem to instantly kill a Jōnin ninja like he just did. But after he killed one man, the guards around Shimura Danzo were already vigilant, and Ren wouldn't have such an easy time. Ren's biggest support now was the ability to completely hide his presence brought by this Hidden Mask. Head-to-head was obviously not a good choice. As an assassin, constantly giving Shimura Danzo and his guards a sense of pressure and crisis was what Ren had to do now. As long as he could delay Shimura Danzo's time, it was enough.
The Ren currently here was actually just a Shadow Clone of Ren. He only needed to make intermittent attacks to cause enough psychological pressure on Danzo, making him have no time to take care of the affairs of the Uchiha clan. And his main body, already wearing another Hidden Mask, flew towards the Uchiha clan compound...
The two effects of the Hidden Mask:
Completely transform into someone else's appearance for 3 minutes. Completely hide its own presence and remain invisible for 10 minutes.
In addition, the Hidden Mask has a usage restriction: Cooldown time: 1 minute (During the cooling time, the ability to switch masks is invalid).
If Ren were to hide his aura and directly put the Sharingan into his own ring in front of the Root ninja, his identity would be revealed in an instant, causing the vigilance and suspicion of those Root ninja. The strength of those Root ninja was also higher than that of Jōnin, and their methods were endless. Even with a Hidden Mask, he was afraid it would be difficult to retreat. Therefore, the only way for Ren to obtain a Sharingan was by disguising himself as Shimura Danzo and taking the Sharingan from the bag in front of everyone's eyes. So for Ren, to accomplish all this, he had less than three minutes.
In the Uchiha clan compound,
"Lord Danzo, why are you here?" Seeing Shimura Danzo, who was disguised by a Hidden Mask, come over from a distance, a Root captain immediately asked him extremely respectfully.
"I'll see how you guys are doing," Ren said in a very calm tone.
The Root corps commander immediately reported: "Lord Danzo, we have collected almost all the corpses in the Uchiha clan with Sharingan, and they are almost all here. It's just that the body of Fugaku Uchiha, the head of the Uchiha clan, has not been found so far."
"Oh? Is that so?" Ren squinted his eyes and said coldly, "Then why don't you hurry up and find it! All the Sharingan of the Uchiha family must be collected!"
"Yes, Lord Danzo!"
"Where is the collected Sharingan? Take me there." The Hidden Mask used by Ren completely disguised him as Shimura Danzo's appearance. Before the three-minute time limit, even a Kage-level powerhouse could not see through his disguise. However, Ren pretending to have Shimura Danzo's presence and chakra, couldn't disguise Shimura Danzo's way of doing things. The Root commander frowned slightly. He seemed to sense something was wrong. But he didn't know exactly what was wrong. He raised his head, only to realize that Lord Danzo had come to the Uchiha clan alone, so he couldn't help but ask: "Sir, what about the guards around you?"
Ren's expression did not appear flustered, and he shouted in a cold voice, "Why, can't I even report my staffing arrangements to you?! My subordinates don't dare." The Root troop commander bowed his head and said.
Ren continued in a cold voice: "Heh, I will set a seal on you all, just to let you know, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say!"
As soon as these words came out, the doubts in Captain Root's heart dissipated immediately. Even the Tongue Imprinting Seal knew that the person standing in front of him must be Lord Danzo. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, what was he doing crazy today, and he dared to doubt the identity of Lord Danzo? If he angered Lord Danzo, he wouldn't have a good outcome! So he hurriedly said to Ren: "Lord Danzo, I will take you to see the collection of Sharingan immediately, please come with me."
