Naruto: Dual-Pupil Uchiha-Chapter 575 - 574 : Restart Uchiha Annihation Plan!!
"That’s right. Root 001 was a Root ninja who died while attacking the Uchiha. He was also the first ninja I resurrected with the Reanimation Jutsu!"
Danzo looked at Homura and the others, noticing their shock, his voice now filled with even more confidence.
Pride and arrogance laced his tone.
This Reanimated ninja would be his most perfect creation!
"It’s really a Reanimation Jutsu!" Homura exchanged a glance with Koharu before slowly rising to his feet. He studied the Reanimated Root ninja carefully.
Indeed,
He was unusual. Touching him brought no reaction, yet they could feel a terrifying power gathering inside him.
"Can he feel pain?" Homura asked slowly.
"They are immortal. As for pain... at least physical pain, they do not fear it!" Danzo said calmly, his gaze finally settling on Root 001. He spoke slowly: "Root 001, show them your current body."
"Yes."
Root 001’s cold voice echoed, calm and detached. Suddenly, a kunai appeared in his hand, though no one had noticed him take it.
The kunai spun once in his palm before piercing directly into his own body.
No blood appeared.
Instead, tiny fragments slid off his body, only to reattach and merge back with his Reanimated form.
He recovered instantly.
It looked as if he had taken no damage at all.
"Is... is this really just an ordinary jutsu?" Homura was genuinely stunned. Though he had lived a long life, he had never truly seen a Reanimated ninja.
And now, it seemed this was the first time.
Truly extraordinary.
What an incredible ability.
"This is naturally no ordinary jutsu. It is a god-level technique that surpasses even S-rank jutsu," Danzo said confidently.
"Not only can they resurrect the dead, but they will also obey my orders. If we revive all the fallen strong ninjas, Konoha will become an invincible force!"
"Moreover, there is even a chance to unify the ninja world!"
As he spoke, Danzo revealed his ambition openly. He intended to use the army of Reanimated ninjas to unify the entire ninja world.
To unify the ninja world.
Hiruzen Sarutobi’s eyes kept shifting, after Danzo spoke his ambitious words, he felt a stir of interest.
If the ninja world could truly be unified, ending a thousand years of endless war, then he would be the greatest ninja the world had ever seen, a figure comparable to the Sage of Six Paths.
Thinking further, Hiruzen’s heart began to burn with excitement.
As for unifying the ninja world by using some people as sacrifices for the Reanimation Jutsu... they should consider it an honor.
"Konoha... the strongest in the ninja world... invincible!!"
Homura and Koharu Utatane exchanged glances once again, but in each pair of eyes, there was a visible fire.
If they could rule the ninja world, how immense would their power be?
Koharu continued, "According to what you’ve said, reviving people requires countless living lives. You want...?"
"Those who achieve great things do not care for trivial matters. Besides... those whose bodies are used for the Reanimation Jutsu are just common civilians of Konoha. They can do no real harm to Konoha!" Danzo interrupted her sharply, his tone cold.
"If you don’t want to participate, then leave. From now on, our discussions will no longer involve you."
There was a hint of mockery in his words. It was clear that Danzo was growing impatient with Koharu’s chatter.
"Danzo, you..." Koharu’s temper flared again. Today, she had been mocked and interrupted multiple times. Even a clay figure would have some pride, and her cloudy eyes now burned with anger.
But now, she dared not speak out.
She was genuinely afraid that Danzo and Hiruzen might abandon her, leaving her alone while they researched such a top-tier ninjutsu—the Reanimation Jutsu.
This... could strengthen the clan’s power.
It could even revive the clan’s powerful ancestors.
It was almost unfairly powerful. She didn’t want to be abandoned at a time like this.
As for the lives of civilians, that was just an excuse she had used to argue against Danzo.
"All right... no more bickering. Let’s get to the main matter!" Homura acted as the mediator, shifting the conversation smoothly.
"Hiruzen, you didn’t call us here just for this, did you?"
"Of course not... the main matter comes next," Hiruzen shook his head and continued.
"Danzo’s lab has run into difficulties. He needs more medical and scientific data meaning ninja... and more civilians."
"Also... I need more flesh of the strong ninjas, as well as their relics!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi listed everything he needed, one by one.
In short, Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted the Mitokado and Utatane clans to help them find the flesh of powerful individuals, their relics, and also use their clan’s influence to cover up the activities of Danzo’s Root experimental base.
"The flesh of the strong ninjas... can be found in their remains at the Konoha Cemetery!" Homura looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi seriously and replied, "You want Danzo to let us search for their relics? And also have Root cover it up?"
"Yes!" Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.
"And what do we get in return?" Homura asked, his tone serious. If they helped Hiruzen Sarutobi, they would be completely bound to him. Naturally, they wanted to secure the best terms for themselves and their clan.
"We will help you bring back the top-tier ninjas of your clan, and we can assign you some of Konoha’s former elite!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said seriously, looking at the two of them.
The reason he spoke this way was to bring the two clans into the plan, and on favorable terms.
"You’ll control them?" Homura frowned.
"Of course, it will be under your control!" Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and continued, "Don’t worry, your clan’s ancestors, as well as those resurrected from your clan, will bear your control seals!"
"Our control?" The two of them finally glimmered with hope.
"Of course!" Danzo also nodded and continued, "We are already on the same path, and after the Chunin Exams, we will start a full-scale purge!"
"Full-scale purge?" Koharu frowned.
"After the Chunin Exams, I will revive a large number of ninjas to restart the Uchiha annihilation plan!" Danzo said, his eyes full of sharp intent.
He still couldn’t forget.
A few years ago, most of the Root elite had been wiped out by the Uchiha clan.
That grudge—it needed to be avenged.
Restart the plan to annihilate the Uchiha clan?
Homura was shocked. Looking at Danzo’s ferocious expression, he realized that Danzo’s desire to destroy the Uchiha clan was far from dead.
But, he glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Hiruzen nodded in agreement.
