99: The Bounty of 1 billion

    “It seems I have let my arrogance cloud my judgment. “ Izanami muttered to herself as she read the files containing the list of actions Danzo had done for the last year. It also contained the latest letters he and Hruzen sent to each other.

    Which also included the recent argument about the Police department. Apparently, the indecisive Hiruzen wanted Danzo to make a move and kill many Uchiha clan members so there would be a rebellion due to the unnatural deaths. This would allow Hiruzen to persuade the other clans to either detain the Uchiha or make them suffer some heavy losses so they would be reduced to a minor clan.

    So even if a Uchiha wants to be a Hokage they would face many oppositions as they have no capital to hold that position. Although it is a bit radical it is quite effective. And what’s more, this is the best he could do with his limited authority.

    But Danzo resued due to obvious reasons. Although many Uchiha clan members go on missions more than usual for Danzo to kill even one of them he would need to sacrifice at least one of Root ninjas.

    In the past, he wouldn’t mind sacrificing one of his root ninjas as he could just openly abduct many more ninjas to fill their ranks. But now with his limited manpower, Danzo is very hesitant to even sacrifice one of them as who knew when he could recruit a strong ninja to his Root.

    “It seems their roles are reversed “ Izanami commented with a chuckle. In the past, it was Hriuzen who hesitated for everything while Danzo was decisive to the point of ignoring the consequences.

    “ But it doesn’t matter. Now that I’m aware of their scheme I would never let these geezers do what they want. “ Izanami said with a cold smile.

    “Do you want me to send the kill order matriarch? “ Nanami asked as she looked at her adopted mother with a bit of expectation.

    Izanami was going to say yes when she suddenly thought of a brilliant plan. “ hey Nanami we still have that bounty on Danzo’s head right “

    “ Yes due to your orders we didn’t close the bounty on his head, “ Nanami said with a bit of puzzlement. ‘ What is she going to do now ‘ she wondered as she saw Izanami’s smile growing wider.

    “That’s perfect, “ Izanami said as she took her phone and sent a few messages. From today onwards dear Danzo would be on the run for his life to even care about

    “ Not interested, “ Kakuzu said flatly. He wasn''t loyal enough to care about this.

    “ Oh even if this information is connected to a person who has a billion bounty on his head. “ wang asked, still not losing his smile.

    “ A bounty” these two words caught Kakuzu’s attention. Now he is interested.

    “Yes but everything comes at a price, “ Wang said as he made a money gesture with his hands.

    ‘Greedy bastard ‘ Kakuzu wanted to curse at him for making him pay for the information after getting him this curious. “ How much “he asked. If this costs too much then he would just forget it.

    “ I million Ryo and the premise that you must finish this job no matter what, “ Wang said as he looked at Kakuzu seriously.

    “Deal, “Kakuzu said after hesitating for a bit. Since the bounty is 1 billion it meant this is a very high profile target. So the bounty hunter would only get one chance at this. These missions are not rare as there are many missions like this in the black market. These missions are called death missions as failure meant death no matter what.

    And Kakuzu is one of the few who usually take such missions due to them giving him high rewards.

    “Here I’m sure your leader would be very interested in this information too. “ Wang said as he took out a scroll from his sleeves and handed it to Kakuzu.

    Kakuzu unfolded the scroll and read the contents. In the scroll, there was a bounty poster pasted at the top. And that photo is the most famous Darkness of Konoha Danzo Shimura.
