Upgrading Swordsmanship And Danzo's Ruthless Plan

The next morning.

The sun is shining brightly but the atmosphere in Konoha is very depressed. Destroyed buildings could be seen everywhere and a lot of villagers were sleeping on the ground with simple blankets under them.

Yami woke up and glanced at the ruins of his own house.

'I have to let my home be rebuilt today, it's impossible for me to live in the school dormitory, I have too many secrets. Thankfully the parents of my body left me with some inheritance, it's enough for now. But first I should look at how many points I have earned yesterday.'

'Ding.

Congratulations, due to the host's actions the important plot object Konoha experienced huge material damage and the plot changed moderately.

Reward: 1200 Points

Congratulations, due to the host's actions two clans of the important plot characters Shimura Danzo and Utatane Koharu got destroyed and the plot changed slightly.

Reward: 500 Points'

Looking at the number of points, Yami felt somewhat unexpected and funny. These guys actually exterminated the clans of the Konoha elders. Yami has to admit that, they exceeded his expectations and earned him another 500 points.

About the somewhat small amount of points he got from destroying Konoha, Yami is clear, because although he set off the exploding tags buried under Konoha, most of the damage is only material. After all the threat of these exploding tags to ninjas is not high and the ninja clans of Konoha did not have any explosions in their residence.

So earning 1200 points is completely okay for Yami, after all, he did not do much to earn them. Together with the 500 points and the points he still had from before, Yami wants to upgrade his swordsmanship.

'Intermediate Swordsmanship:

Grants the user the ability to smoothly operate sword qi with enough power to cut off a hill. The physical consumption for the activation of sword qi is reduced by 50 percent.

Price: 2100 points'

Yami did not hesitate and bought it directly. A lot of memories about the application of sword qi and fundamental swordsmanship appeared in his mind. The difference to Basic swordsmanship is actually not large, but because small flaws in the fundamentals were removed, the power, consumption, smoothness, and sharpness got greatly enhanced in comparison to before.

After feeling his changes, Yami was eager to try it out. Using shunpo he quickly disappeared and after a few minutes, he reappeared in a forest a few kilometers away from the village.

Taking out his sword, Yami's temperament has changed a lot. The sword qi lightly wraps around his body excluding sword intent.

Taking on a stance Yami slashed out with all his power. Great power erupted from his sword to the area in front of him. In a forest area with a width of fifty meters and a length of one hundred meters, all trees were slashed horizontally and fell.

Yami's breathing was a bit fast and this slash exhausted 1/5th of his stamina, but he was still very excited. Looking at the large damage his slash had made, he felt a bit proud.

After that, he tried all his new swordsmanship moves one after another.

'The power of my full strength slash is comparable to a S-rank ninjutsu. If it hits, even a Kage-level powerhouse may die directly. Ordinary slashes with sword qi have the power of a A-rank ninjutsu and the consumption of stamina is still quite small. It is no problem to slash a hundred times.

Solely from attack power, my strength is already comparable to some weak Kage-level ninjas.

After the Uchiha demon plan is over, with the points I can directly raise my strength to Kage-level in all aspects. A comprehensive Kage level is very rare and if I use the time until the Uchiha genocide for low-key training, my ranking in the Kage level will never be low.

Still, in the later stage, this kind of strength is far from enough, I have to stay steady.'

Finished with his strength test, Yami decided to hire some workers and rebuild his house.

Root base.

Danzo was holding a large folder of documents and reading them attentively.

The documents show evidence for a lot of dark things Sarutobi Hiruzen has done during his reign. The secrets behind the destruction of the Uzumaki clan, Hatake Sakumos suicide, Senju clan's disappearance, Orochimaru's human experiments, and many more. Only the true identity of Naruto Uzumaki was not in it. Danzo wants to harm Sarutobi Hiruzen and not Konoha, if the Nine-tails riots because Naruto found out about his true identity, it will bring great harm to Konoha.

'Hiruzen, you did it first. You have forgotten our years of friendship, so don't blame me for being ruthless. I will let everyone know your true face, you hypocritical old man.'

Danzo's expression was gloomy and he had already decided. These days may be the last few days he is alive, he knows well that he cannot escape if Sarutobi Hiruzen is willing to give it his all to kill him. Danzo knows to many secrets about Konoha and Sarutobi, it's impossible for him to save his life. After thinking about it all night, Danzo cannot think of a way to reverse his situation.

So, Danzo decided to drag Sarutobi Hiruzens image in the mud and trample it. He wants the third Hokage to become the most hated existence in Konoha. Someone that parents talk about to scare their children.

Having this plan, Danzo compiled the evidence of all black materials and wants to spread that not only every ninja clan but also the civilians, the children, and even the dogs in the country of fire know about these secrets. He has given his subordinates the order to buy every newspaper agency that can find and print a large number of these black materials and spread them everywhere.

'Enjoy your last day as the respected and loved third Hokage Hiruzen, you will never have the chance again. If I did not find out about your plan, you may have succeeded in killing me silently, but now I will never go down so easily. Hahahahahaha!'

Laughing cheerfully, even though he knows that his own death date is not far away, Danzo felt a different kind of satisfaction in his heart.
