This new piece of information immediately aroused Danzō's interest.
For him, if Amatsukami and Akatsuki are enemies, then there's a lot of room to maneuver. He even had the thought of sitting on top of the mountain and watching the tigers fight.
So, he suppressed all kinds of thoughts and asked, "Do you have any detailed information on why these two organizations are hostile to each other?"
The Root ninja immediately replied, "According to a Black-market member, Amatsukami's Suijin had a fierce battle with Akatsuki's Kakuzu in the Land of Fire, but the details are unknown."
Danzō then asked, "What's the cause of the battle?"
"The cause is unknown for the time being, but according to the Black-market member, Akatsuki's Kakuzu commissioned the Black-market member to investigate Amatsukami, so the Black-market member guessed that Amatsukami and Akatsuki had a dispute over a bounty mission."
Danzō scoffed at this speculation.
In his opinion, Amatsukami and Akatsuki are so powerful that it's impossible for them to have a dispute over a bounty mission in the Black-market, there must be some other reason behind it.
After the Root ninja left, Danzō got up from the bench and paced back and forth in his office.
According to the information obtained through interrogation, Danzō has a general understanding of Akatsuki, or rather, the organizational structure of Akatsuki, the behavior of its members, and so on are still within the scope of his understanding. Except for the mysterious leader, everything else is within the scope of a bounty ninja organization.
But Amatsukami is completely different.
Danzō didn't expect that he would be unable to dig out any information about Amatsukami even after such a large number of arrests. If it weren't for the fact that Amatsukami has indeed acted several times recently, he would have even begun to doubt whether or not Amatsukami really exists.
Collecting his thoughts, Danzō once again reviewed Amatsukami's recent actions in his mind, and after comparing it with Akatsuki, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he had grasped something.
Sometimes, no information is also a kind of information.
Not being able to dig up any clues about Amatsukami's Organization was also a clue from another perspective.
Just think about it, a bounty hunter organization as powerful as the Akatsuki also needs to rely on the black-market intelligence network throughout the Shinobi World to collect information, so why would Amatsukami not need the black-market intelligence network?
There was only one answer: Amatsukami had another intelligence network.
Considering how efficient Amatsukami's previous bounty missions had been, as well as the accuracy of their recent missions, Danzō boldly deduced that Amatsukami's intelligence network was definitely better than the Black Market's intelligence network.
And in the Shinobi World, only the Five Great Shinobi Villages can surpass the Black-market in terms of intelligence gathering.
"Is Amatsukami an empty shell created by a shinobi village?"
This thought flashed through Danzō's mind.
"The Mist Village has just gone through a civil war and is greatly weakened. They don't have the strength nor the will to do such a thing, so we can eliminate them first …"
"The Sand Crypsis's funding has been cut by the Wind Land's Daimyo, and they are also our Muye's ally, so we can eliminate them for the time being …"
"If the Cloud Village wants to sacrifice their leader to find an excuse to start a war, there are too many ways to do so. There is no need to create Amatsukami …"
"The Rock Village is the most suspicious, but if it was done by them, they could have just killed Watanabe in the village. Why would they waste time and effort to send the corpse to the Black-market? Isn't this clearing the suspicion for our Muye? Also, how could the Rock Village recruit the Uchiha Clan who has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan? "
After eliminating all the possibilities, Danzō fell into a state of confusion again.
At this time, his eyes suddenly swept to the name 'Uchiha Shinichi' on the Akatsuki intelligence document, and suddenly a thought flashed, "Could it be that the Uchiha Clan did it?"
With the reputation of the Uchiha Muye Clan, it shouldn't be difficult for them to secretly recruit an Ice Release ninja who defected from the Mist Village. As for the owner of the Mangekyou Sharingan, there is a ready-made Uchiha Zhishui in the Uchiha Clan. Therefore, the Uchiha Clan has the ability to impersonate both Suijin and Homusubi of Amatsukami.
Thinking about this, Danzō's brows that had just relaxed just now twisted again.
Because he suddenly discovered that there is a fatal loophole in his speculation, that is, why did the Uchiha Clan attack the Kumo envoy leader and take a huge risk to send the corpse of the Kumo envoy leader to the black market?
If the attack on the Kumo envoy leader can be said to be an attempt by the Uchiha Clan to provoke a war between the village and the Kumo Village, then the risk of sending the corpse of the Kumo envoy leader to the black market is completely contradictory to the former's actions.
However, Danzō didn't hesitate for too long because he suddenly realized that this is a good opportunity to deal with the Uchiha Zhishui and seize the Mangekyou Sharingan!
Knock … Knock …
Soon, Danzō heavily knocked on his cane.
An Anbu ninja heard the sound and entered Danzō's office and asked, "-Sama, what are your orders?"
Danzō said solemnly, "Secretly spread the news that Uchiha Zhishui is Homusubi of Amatsukami!"
"Yes!"
The Root ninja was a little surprised, but immediately nodded and left the office.
At this time, Danzō's face regained his confidence.
He doesn't have any evidence that Zhishui is Homusubi of Amatsukami, but for him, it doesn't matter whether there is evidence or not, all he needs is an excuse.
Just like how he dealt with Muye White Fang Hatake Sakumo.
At that time, Hatake Sakumo's prestige had surpassed Muye Sannin, and with the name 'Muye White Fang', he was the strongest competitor of the Four Generations Naruto.
Such a character, if left unchecked, would pose a great threat to the Naruto faction.
So, Danzō took advantage of Hatake Sakumo's failure to use the Root to spread the news that was unfavorable to Hatake Sakumo, so that the secret mission that should have been sealed in the archives was spread to the streets, trying to damage Hatake Sakumo's prestige in the village.
However, no one expected that Hatake Sakumo would value his honor so much that he chose to commit suicide under everyone's criticism.
Later, when Four Generations accepted Kakashi as his disciple, it might be because Naruto wanted to compensate the Hatake Family. After all, Hatake Sakumo's death, from Naruto to the villagers who blamed him, everyone was responsible …
