Chapter 111 : Tsunade Returns
Deep in the darkness of the Root headquarters, Danzo Shimura sat in silence, his expression cold and calculating.
Aburame Ryoma and Kai had not returned for over a day. He already knew what that meant.
The mission had failed.
A ninety-nine percent chance they were dead, most likely at the hands of the Uchiha.
As for the one percent? That was what Danzo clung to.
Even the most ruthless of men needed to hold onto hope and dreams.
"Damn Uchiha... Hiruzen, you'll regret this soon enough."
Danzo's face was grim.
The Uchiha Clan had emerged from the Third Great Ninja War with their prestige at an all-time high. Their battlefield achievements had earned them the trust of the villagers and admiration of many Konoha shinobi.
More than that, they had become more united than ever.
This war had only reinforced their bonds, strengthening them rather than breaking them. The longer they remained unchecked, the harder it would be to control them.
