26 Delusional Third Hokage

Yami with this stealth skill activated moved towards the house of Uchiha Akira at high speed.

Arriving there, he used Observation Haki to check Akira's situation, but he found that Akira was not at home.

'It shouldn't be. He can't leave the house during the daytime, so where is he?'

A little bit confused, Yami sensed again, but this time much more carefully.

Soon he felt something interfering with his Observation Haki. Although this feeling was very faint, Yami is sure that something is shielding his senses in the house.

Jumping into Akira's room through the window, Yami carefully inspected the ground and soon found a hidden underground entrance.

'So they built a place underground to have more options during the day. Not bad.'

Yami felt a bit satisfied with the work of the demons. Honestly, since he found out that Danzo hired Akatsuki, his expectations for the Uchiha demons have dropped significantly. But now it seems they may surprise him, the ability that is shielding his Observation Haki is definitely a Blood demon Art, meaning they are able to awaken them.

If one of them gets an overpowered ability like space manipulation or something similar, then they will still easily lose to Akatsuki, but maybe they will be able to kill one of their members before they die. Even better would be if they can force Nagato Uzumaki to use Rinnegan as much as possible, making him consume his vitality more. All these scenarios would be very beneficial for Yami.

While thinking, Yami is already following the underground tunnel cautiously. Soon he reached the entrance to the large underground bunker. With his sneak skill activated, Yami moved in between all the demons that are currently present and gave them the mental suggestion to ignore him subconsciously.

With Yami's current mental power this is very easy to do. Now as long as he doesn't directly contact them, by either touching or verbally talking to them, then they will not notice him at all. But this ability is obviously not perfect, so taking advantage of the situation, he immediately used his Zanpakuto on them, putting them in an illusion.

Right as he was done, he saw Uchiha Akira using 'Dark field' and was truly amazed. This ability is really too strong, making Akira almost invincible at the same level of strength. Of course, for Yami himself, this field would be completely useless. His strength and Observation Haki make him almost immune to it.

'Good, these guys are really much more promising than I had previously thought. It's almost a shame that they will probably all die soon. Maybe I should pick out two with the strongest awakened blood demon art and send them to Orochimaru for experiments, together with a bottle of demon blood with better quality.

Orochimaru, that guy is really a talent. Pioneering the science road in a world full of ignorant people takes not only courage but most importantly great intelligence.

I should probably use Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan on him. Not only is Orochimaru's strength pretty good, but also his ability to pick up talented children is amazing. He can truly be called the number one child trafficker in the ninja world. Making the kidnapped children develop the Stockholm-Syndrom, willing to sacrifice themselves for Orochimaru and even let him experiment with their bodies.

Most importantly with the intelligence of that guy, he would probably be able to develop the demon blood further, eliminating its weakness for the sun. With Orochimaru's strength and methods together with an immortal body from the Muzan-level demon blood with its weaknesses gone, he would be an absolute unit.

Yami himself does not need to fear an immortal body either, because his Zanpakuto can cut the soul, making it useless.

It's decided I'm going to make Orochimaru into my number one subordinate.'

As Yami was thinking, he continued observing the other Uchiha demons. They have also awakened blood demon arts, although not as strong as Uchiha Akira, but definitely not bad. One of them even has the same ice-manipulation as Douma (second upper moon).

'The situation here is basically stable, I should go back to training.'

Without wasting any more time Yami left the underground bunker in an instant.

Hokage office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting on a throne he let his subordinates build for himself, with a golden crown on his head. Leaning his cheek on one hand and smoking a pipe with the other, he looked at the kneeling Anbu ninjas in front of him, like an extremely disinterested monarch.

"Have you still not found the culprit for the clan disappearances or Danzo?"

Although Sarutobi sounded somewhat bored, when he asked this question, the kneeling Anbu ninjas were already sweating coldly. They dared not even raise their heads, for fear that the Third Hokage would execute them, because of a bad mood.

This situation has already happened before and many times at that. Since then the task of reporting to the Hokage has become the task with the highest casualty rate in Anbu.

"No your majesty Fire! But we have been able to confirm that the culprit is from the Uchiha clan. We have also found out that Danzo has been in contact with a mercenary organization called 'Akatsuki' located in the Rain country. This organization connects multiple S-rank traitors together and the leader is extremely mysterious. All Anbu members that had been dispatched for investigation never came back."

Sarutobi did not speak immediately but fell into deep thought.

'The Uchiha huh? Sure enough, as the teacher said, it's an inherently evil clan. I wanted to let you be as long as you behave, but now it seems, you can't wait to be exterminated.

And Danzo, I was originally angry with you, but now I am somewhat grateful. Because you exposed my true face, I don't have to pretend anymore and can truly live like the kind of person I am Hahahahaha!

Daimyo and the other villages, all don't need to exist. Everything should be mine, unifying the world and becoming the emperor of everything hehehehe.'

Seeing Sarutobi's face changing multiple times, from frowning to laughing sinisterly, although the Anbu ninjas were confused, they still obediently held their mouths shut.
