He was Lord Danzō's hidden subordinate in Konoha.
Root.
Danzo Shimura's eyes flashed with a sharp glint upon hearing Uchiha Dan's report.
Let Uchiha Dan lead the team?
He thought of the Forbidden Jutsu Uchiha Dan possessed, Reika no Jutsu!
This was an S-rank Soul Ninjutsu that allowed the Soul to leave the body.
It allowed one to spiritualize into a living Soul, traverse distances, and kill enemies, or even control an opponent's body and enter their mental world.
Of course, if the caster used it well, this Jutsu wouldn't just be for killing enemies.
It was also excellent for intelligence gathering, as it wouldn't be detected at all.
The fact that it was recorded in the scroll of seals was enough to prove how terrifying this Jutsu was!
However, the disadvantage of this Jutsu was also very obvious: once spiritualized, the caster's physical body had to be protected.
Otherwise, if the body was discovered by the enemy, the spiritualized body would have no ability to resist whatsoever.
As long as the body died, the caster would not continue to exist in a Soul state.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, you really are playing a good game..."
Danzo Shimura's low voice echoed through Root's base.
Although he had been dismissed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Root had been disbanded.
But these Root members had been subjected to the Tongue Restriction Curse Seal as soon as they joined Root, so even if he was no longer Root's leader,
these Shinobi were still his subordinates.
"Hmph, Reika no Jutsu is so useful, yet you only use it to investigate Tsunade. Hiruzen, you are indeed too indecisive!"
Danzo Shimura sneered, as usual, first disparaging Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Then he ordered Uchiha Dan: "Besides the mission objectives, you must also use Reika no Jutsu to thoroughly investigate the Uzushigakure!"
Uchiha Dan bowed his head and said, "Yes, Lord Danzō!"
Danzo Shimura's eyes burned with eagerness, and he continued: "It would be best if you could record all of the Uzushigakure' Unmarked Ninjutsu and asauchi forging techniques!"
"Yes!"
"Good, you may go."
Watching Uchiha Dan's retreating figure, he clenched his fists excitedly.
Danzo Shimura had great confidence in Uchiha Dan's Reika no Jutsu.
Even on the battlefield, Uchiha Dan's Reika no Jutsu was a major weapon for Konoha!
Because no Shinobi could attack Uchiha Dan in his Soul state!
Moreover, let alone attacking, they couldn't even see him!
Often, without knowing what was happening, their companions would already be lying on the ground.
This was the terrifying aspect of Reika no Jutsu!
In this world, there was no Ninjutsu that could see or attack Souls!
Uchiha Dan was sure to return from this trip to the Uzushigakure with a full harvest!
As long as he obtained the Uzushigakure' Unmarked Ninjutsu and asauchi forging techniques, and mass-produced Shinobi similar to Bloodline Limits among Root members,
taking control of Konoha would be just around the corner!
"Hiruzen, since you won't give it, I'll just take it myself..."
"Hehehe..."
A low laugh echoed from Root's base.
Hokage Building, Hokage Office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were profound.
He actually understood the capabilities of Reika no Jutsu.
But he had kept something in mind.
Because the Uzushigakure called itself Shinigami, and among the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Techniques, he had once seen a Forbidden Jutsu.
Dead Demon Consuming Seal!
This was a Forbidden Jutsu capable of sealing Souls!
However, the price was high; after sealing the enemy's Soul, the caster's Soul also had to be offered to the Shinigami.
