Chapter 36: Danzo's Bad Mood

"So, is the situation resolved now?!" Shikaku Nara looked at the Cloud Village ninja who were packing up and retreating, still a little dazed. With Cloud Village's tough style, they actually retreated so easily. Could there be some conspiracy behind this?!

"What else can we do?" Sakura retorted, and then revealed the truth. "If we only dropped a few meteorites, it wouldn't scare them away. But I just conveyed a message to them. If they remain stubborn, I will throw the meteorites into the sky above Cloud Village!"

"I see!" Shikaku Nara suddenly realized. No wonder Cloud Village retreated. If they really dropped a few meteorites over Cloud Village, the entire village would be destroyed.

In fact, Sakura had already held back. The meteorites she pulled down were all small ones. If she had pulled down the large meteorite that Madara Uchiha summoned during the Fourth Great Ninja War in the original work, none of the Cloud Village ninja would have survived.

But Sakura's intention was to deter them, not to kill them, so these small meteorites were just right for her requirements.

After thinking for a while, Sakura reached out her right hand and waved it towards the place where the last meteorite fell. A basketball-sized ore flew out of the pit and straight to her.

"What is this?" Everyone was puzzled by Sakura's actions.

"Extraterrestrial meteorite iron!" Sakura pointed to the metal-shining ore in her hand. She didn't expect to have an additional gain this time. This was a pleasant surprise.

"Is this extraterrestrial meteorite iron? It is said to be very popular in the Land of Iron!" Kakashi looked at it and said, "But this meteorite iron still needs to be repeatedly forged. Only the essence left behind can be added to weapons. There are still too many impurities inside!"

Kakashi's father, Sakumo Hatake, was famous in the ninja world for his kenjutsu. He killed countless people and was one of the few people who received the order from various ninja villages that "if you encounter Konoha's White Fang, you can abandon the mission without punishment."

Although Kakashi is now famous for ninjutsu, he had some understanding of what materials could make the quality of the tool better when he practiced swordsmanship with his father during his childhood.

"I understand, but I don't know how to forge iron!" Sakura thought for a while and simply snapped her fingers. She used the Reality Gem to manifest a flame that wrapped the meteorite and let it burn. However, strangely, everyone around her did not feel any heat from the flame.

"This long-term roasting should be able to remove impurities, right?!"

"The Hyuga clan in Konoha is the largest weapons merchant in the Land of Fire and also the largest weapons supplier in Konoha. When you return to the village, you can ask them to help make a weapon with this meteorite iron!" Shikaku Nara suggested. Meteorite iron was a rare material, and even if the blacksmiths who forged ninja tools did not charge any fees, or even if they paid for the materials themselves, they were willing to make a powerful ninja tool.

"The Hyuga clan? I got it!" Sakura instantly thought of Tenten, who was known as the rich woman in the original work. During battles, while others consumed chakra, she consumed money. She threw out explosive tags like they were free, and her extravagance could make Kakuzu cry.

Sakura's actions went smoothly, but in Konoha Village, someone was very unhappy.

In the dark Root Base, Danzo sat in a chair, his shadow covering his figure. The entire base exuded a dead silence, as if the people here were lifeless.

"What's going on with the Uchiha clan these days?" Danzo asked, his voice full of anger. As someone who aspired to inherit the second generation's wishes and completely eliminate the Uchiha clan, Danzo watched the Uchiha clan's relationship with Konoha become increasingly tense under his planning, and he was ecstatic. He could even eat several bowls of food, but in these past few days, the Uchiha clan suddenly changed their style of doing things like they were having a seizure. This made Danzo feel uncomfortable, and he wished to immediately wipe out the Uchiha clan.

"According to the information from our informant in the Uchiha clan, a few days ago, Uchiha Fugaku secretly convened a meeting with the group of clan members loyal to the clan head faction. The next day, the Uchiha clan became what it is now. However, since there were no one from our faction among those loyal to the Uchiha clan head, we do not know the specific content of the meeting!" A Root ninja below reported in a flat voice. Through the mask, only a pair of lifeless eyes could be seen.

"Investigate the matter quickly. We must not take the evil Uchiha clan lightly!" Danzo impatiently knocked his cane. He became even more anxious when he thought of the change in the village's attitude towards the Uchiha clan in these past few days.

"Yes, Danzo-sama!" The reporting ninja hesitated for a moment and then said, "There is one thing that I suspect may be related to the Uchiha clan's change!"

"Oh? Speak!" Danzo became alert. He had to find out the reason as soon as possible and deal with it. He absolutely could not let the Uchiha clan continue like this.

"On the night before Uchiha Fugaku convened the clan meeting, the Nine-Tailed Fox Jinchuriki and another little girl followed Uchiha Sasuke to the Uchiha residence. According to the intelligence, that little girl has been going to the Third Hokage's office frequently recently. When the Hyuga clan head's daughter was kidnapped, that little girl also intervened and stopped the Cloud Village ninja. Moreover, it was after that little girl and the Third Hokage went to the Hyuga clan that the Hyuga clan's attitude towards the Third Hokage's tough stance against Cloud Village changed to support!"

"That little girl, I remember her name is Sakura Haruno, right!" After listening to the report, Danzo also remembered. He had heard this name when the incident of Cloud Village kidnapping the Hyuga clan head's daughter first occurred. At that time, he paid attention to Sakura because of her unique Kekkei Genkai. Later, when he saw that Sakura was just hanging around in the kitchen all day, and with the Cloud Village incident, he became busy, so Danzo did not pay attention to Sakura's movements. He did not expect that the Uchiha clan's situation would be related to her.

"Where is she now?" Danzo asked, his eyes flashing with killing intent.

"According to the intelligence, she and Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy, and Uchiha Shisui have left the village. Their destination is the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning!"

"Send more people and immediately set off to kill her!"

Danzo's face was cold. Although he had not figured out whether the situation was related to Sakura or not, his habit was to rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.

"When fighting, don't get too entangled with Kakashi Hatake and the others. Prioritize killing Sakura Haruno as the target. Also, if there is a chance, bring back Uchiha Shisui's eyes and Kakashi Hatake's left eye together!"

Danzo's eyes were full of greed. Sharingan, he had coveted it for a long time, especially Uchiha Shisui's.
