Chapter 181: Danzo: I Colluded with the Mist Shinobi to Make Konoha Great Again!
Armor!
A towering white humanoid armor was submerged in an enlarged life support pod. A thick white vine, about the size of an egg, connected the armor to a normal-sized life support pod, where White Zetsu resided.
Yes, this white armor was ‘alive’ and had grown from White Zetsu. White Zetsu was like a vine, and the power armor was its fruit. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to create such a large power armor using White Zetsu alone, as it was several times larger than the original.
Of course, during the cultivation process, some pre-prepared materials were mixed in. Thanks to the teleportation potion left behind, Hyuga Satsuki was able to cultivate it according to the instructions. The cost was the consumption of several dozen nutrient solution tanks. Without the generous reward from the top patron, this power armor would have been impossible to cultivate.
This was, of course, the luxury custom version. If it were the budget version, the cultivation cost would have been significantly lower.
"By the way, where is Koji?"
Touhei looked at the fully formed power armor, nodded in satisfaction, and asked.
If Koji were in the village, he would have come to pick him up.
"Recently, the Honda Trading Company had some issues, and he went to handle them," Hyuga Satsuki replied nonchalantly, glancing at the corner.
In the shinobi world, business wars were straightforward.
False business wars: competing on price, service, and strategy!
Real business wars: competing on background, poisoning, and arson!
Indeed, very characteristic of the shinobi world.
With Koji's elite Jonin abilities, there was no need to worry about him encountering any problems while handling such business competition. Elite Jonin weren't as common as cabbage. Even in Konoha, if you excluded the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, there were fewer than ten elite Jonin.
Thinking about the number of elite Jonin during Naruto's time, it was clear how rare they were.
"Once he returns, we can proceed with the surgery. How is the rumor spreading?"
Touhei turned his attention to another matter. The power armor couldn't be revealed casually. First, the Yamato clan needed to spread the word and revise their family records, indicating that they indeed had such a remarkable ninja tool, which had been lost and was now being recovered.
Ninja tool!
This was the new identity of the power armor. With the variety of strange ninja tools in the shinobi world, there was no need to worry about anyone questioning whether the power armor was a ninja tool.
"No problem!"
Hyuga Satsuki nodded lightly. Normally, a village wouldn't investigate the information of its own shinobi. Spreading the word now was to preempt any suspicions if the power armor's performance was too extraordinary in the future. This was a precautionary measure.
With the power armor, Yamato Koji's combat power would be on par with a Kage (limited to direct combat). The enhancement was that dramatic. That's why they needed to prepare in advance.
Meanwhile, Touhei slowly approached a life support pod in the corner, looking at the red fox tail curled up inside. It appeared to be a fox tail, but it contained White Zetsu, Hashirama cells, and Nine-Tails chakra, making it more resilient, stronger, and better at conducting and storing chakra. Of course, its defensive capabilities were far inferior to the power armor.
This was an extraordinary organ specially prepared for Hyuga Satsuki, though it was not yet fully formed.
"I traded with Jiraiya-sensei for the 'Needle Hell' and 'Disheveled Lion Mane' secret techniques. Once you learn them, you'll be able to better control your extraordinary organs!"
Touhei handed two secret technique scrolls to Hyuga Satsuki. They not only contained the techniques but also various training details and key points. Only the creator of a secret technique could provide these; captured techniques wouldn't have such information.
"Secret techniques?"
Hyuga Satsuki took the scrolls. After reading them, she had a general impression.
These were indeed excellent secret techniques, especially suitable for female shinobi with strong chakra precision and long hair. It was possible that she might even surpass Jiraiya in these two techniques.
In the shinobi world, it's not uncommon for those who learn secret techniques to surpass their creators. One person feels their way across the river, while the other stands on the shoulders of the pioneer. Given the different levels of difficulty, if the learner has greater talent, surpassing the creator isn't hard at all.
Take the Flying Thunder God and the Impure World Reincarnation techniques, for example. Minato Namikaze and Orochimaru both far outstripped the original creator, Tobirama Senju.
It was right after Tomohiro returned to the village that a conspiracy began to unfold around him.
At the headquarters of the Root organization!
"Has Tomohiro Uchiha returned?"
Danzo, with half his body wrapped in bandages, exuded an increasingly chilling aura as he asked the Root shinobi kneeling before him.
"Yes!"
The shinobi replied succinctly.
"Good. Pass this information to our spy in the Mist Village!"
Danzo handed over a letter.
Indeed, he had concocted a brilliant plan. He would use the Mist Village to eliminate the Uchiha clan and, in the process, neutralize Tomohiro, who was a significant threat. At the same time, he could use the Uchiha to cripple the Mist Village. This way, he would gain the credit for repelling the Mist and lay the groundwork for his ascension to the Hokage position.
It must be said that when it came to plotting against his own people, Danzo's intelligence was off the charts.
Whoosh!
The Root shinobi disappeared from the base with the letter.
"Hashirama, since you can't protect Konoha, I will!"
Danzo muttered to himself. Even after orchestrating such a scheme, he firmly believed that everything he did was for the good of Konoha.
It must be said that while the shinobi world had its fair share of oddballs, few could match Danzo's ability to delude himself to such an extent.
Danzo and the White-Eyed Wolf were undoubtedly among the top contenders in this regard.
One, with the slogan "Make Konoha Great Again," would do anything—assassinate the Hokage, frame the village's strongest, plunder the bloodlines of other clans, and suppress rival clans.
The other, driven by the desire to "create a world with Rin," would kill his teacher, mother, and destroy his family without hesitation.
The two were truly the Dragon and Phoenix of the shinobi world.
Now, Danzo's plot to use the Mist Village against the Uchiha was relatively restrained. At least he wasn't using their forces to "purge the palace," right?
Tomohiro, however, was unaware of all this.
In the days since his return, he had been preparing for the final surgery.
A few days later!
Koji Yamagata returned to the village with a few shinobi from the smaller clans who had pledged their allegiance to Tomohiro. Of course, he had left the village on a C-rank mission.
But what he did outside the village was another story.
Otherwise, active-duty shinobi couldn't leave the village without a valid reason. The control the village had over its active-duty shinobi was incredibly strict.
However, clan shinobi were a different matter.
When Koji Yamagata and his team returned, they brought back a massive suit of full-body armor.
This armor was a legendary "shinobi tool."
The villagers paid little attention, thinking it was just another shinobi tool, nothing special, not like the "Thunder God Sword," "Seven Great Swords of the Mist," "Uchiha Fan"... or other legendary tools.
But what no one noticed was that the armor Koji Yamagata brought back was disproportionately large and heavy.
Standing nearly seven and a half feet tall and several times wider than a normal person, it was completely out of proportion to his body. The weight, exceeding several tons, was far beyond what human flesh and bone could handle.
To be honest, with chakra, a shinobi could lift much more than a few tons. Just like when Might Guy used the Eight Gates, each strike could shatter mountains and crumble peaks, exerting a force far greater than hundreds of tons. Naruto, in his Sage Mode from Mount Myoboku, could casually toss statues and summoned creatures weighing hundreds of tons.
Compared to that, a few tons didn't seem like much.
The problem was... this was armor!
It needed to be worn constantly, not just lifted for a moment.
Even powerful taijutsu users like Might Guy and the Akimichi clan couldn't wear such heavy armor.
So, something was definitely off.
But after today, Tomohiro would give Konoha a little shock.
