Chapter 1019 Peaceful Development

Although he longed to have great power again, Danzo knew that he couldn't act too hastily at this moment. At this moment, there was a noise outside. An Anbu member entered the tent and reported: "Danzo-sama, we found a small-scale enemy force approaching our camp." Danzo's eyes were stern, and he stood up, "It seems that the enemy wants to take advantage of my injury to make some small moves. Pass on my order, organize a defensive formation, and don't attack rashly."

Danzo walked out of the tent and looked at the vague enemy figures in the distance. He silently calculated in his heart that now that his strength has been greatly reduced, he must rely on tactics to win. He summoned the Dream Eater and whispered a few words, and the Dream Eater quietly sneaked into the ground and disappeared. Then Danzo commanded the ninjas to pretend to be panic and lure the enemy deeper. When the enemy entered the encirclement, the Dream Eater suddenly drilled out from the ground, creating a huge chaos. Danzo saw the opportunity and used ninjutsu to attack the enemy leader. For a time, flames shot up into the sky and the enemy's formation was in chaos. The Konoha ninja took advantage of the situation to counterattack and successfully repelled the attacking enemy. Danzo stood in the center of the camp, looking at the distant enemy, and secretly made up his mind to recover his strength as soon as possible to protect Konoha.

Danzo just breathed a sigh of relief, but heard a report from a spy that several surrounding villages were uniting and seemed to be planning to launch a large-scale war against Konoha. Danzo frowned, thinking that it would be difficult to deal with the current strength of Konoha and his current state. He called Aburame Ryoma to discuss countermeasures. Aburame Ryoma suggested sending ninjas to other major countries to seek support or alliances. After pondering for a moment, Danzo agreed to this plan and decided to send several ninjas who were good at diplomacy to set off immediately.

However, before the envoys set out, news came that some traitors had appeared inside Konoha and were secretly destroying Konoha's defense facilities. Danzo was furious and personally led the Root Ninja to encircle and suppress the traitors. After a fierce battle, the traitors were eliminated, but Danzo also consumed a lot of energy. At this time, he realized that Konoha's crisis was not only from the outside, but also the internal stability needed to be maintained urgently. So Danzo started to repair the internal defense system while anxiously waiting for the ninjas on the diplomatic voyage to bring back good news. He knew that Konoha's survival depended on this move, and he must not fall.

A few days later, the ninja who was sent to other countries finally returned, but he brought bad news. All the major countries were unwilling to get involved in this dispute, and Konoha could only rely on its own strength to deal with the crisis. Danzo clenched his fists and looked determined. Since there was no hope for external aid, he would tap into the internal potential.

He ordered all Konoha ninjas to be summoned, including those masters who were hidden among the people. At the same time, Danzo also decided to open some of the root's confidential ninjutsu information so that capable ninjas could learn and improve their strength.

During this process, Naruto took the initiative to stand up and expressed his willingness to form a special team to deal with the traitor. Danzo hesitated for a while and agreed, after all, Naruto has a unique perception ability.

As everyone worked together to prepare for the war, Konoha's morale gradually rose. Danzo was practicing an ancient forbidden technique in seclusion. This forbidden technique can greatly improve strength in a short period of time, but it is very risky. He knew that this might be the last hope to save Konoha, and he had to give it a try even at the cost of his life. Just as the war was about to begin, Danzo came out of seclusion, exuding a powerful and dangerous aura, ready to lead Konoha to meet the most severe challenge. On the day of the war, the sky was covered with dark clouds. The coalition forces from all directions rushed towards Konoha. Danzo stood on the wall of Konoha Village, with Konoha ninjas waiting in full battle array behind him.

The special team led by Naruto had been lurking outside the border, responsible for exploring and eliminating the internal spies in the coalition. As soon as the battle started, the coalition launched a fierce offensive. Danzo was the first to rush into the enemy camp. The power of the forbidden technique made him like a beast, and every move caused huge casualties to the enemy.

However, the coalition forces were too numerous and the Konoha ninjas gradually became exhausted. At the critical moment, those masters hidden among the people appeared one after another, and they performed various strange ninjutsu, disrupting the rhythm of the coalition forces.

Naruto also received good news. All the traitors were eliminated and the coalition lost many sources of intelligence. Danzo seized the opportunity and concentrated the remaining forces to launch a general attack. He ignored the limit of his body and continued to push the power of the forbidden technique.

When the two sides were fighting fiercely, a mysterious light suddenly enveloped the battlefield. It turned out that a small country that had received favors from Konoha secretly sent reinforcements, and they temporarily trapped part of the coalition forces with a powerful sealing technique. The morale of the Konoha ninjas was greatly boosted, and they turned the tide of the war and completely defeated the coalition forces. After the war, Danzo became a hero of Konoha, and Konoha became more united and prosperous after this crisis. Although the war was won, Danzo knew that Konoha still faced many potential threats. He began to re-examine Konoha's defense strategy and was determined to establish a more complete early warning system.

Danzo found the head of the Yamanaka family, hoping to use his family's mind-reading and intelligence-gathering abilities. They selected a group of young ninjas to be trained, who would be distributed around Konoha, always monitoring for any suspicious signs.

At the same time, Danzo realized that the growth of the younger generation of ninjas in Konoha was crucial. He set up more actual combat training grounds and invited elders from various families to serve as mentors and teach them the family secrets. Naruto and others also actively participated in it, and the strength of the new generation of ninjas steadily increased.

In foreign relations, Danzo changed his previous tough style and took the initiative to conduct trade exchanges with neighboring countries to enhance mutual trust. He knew that only when Konoha was strong both inside and outside could it be truly stable and long-lasting. Under his leadership, Konoha gradually moved towards a new era of prosperity. Everyone believed that even if there were storms in the future, Konoha would be able to deal with it calmly. However, not long after the peaceful days, Danzo received an anonymous letter, which mentioned that someone was studying ninjutsu against Konoha's bloodline limit. Danzo was shocked. He knew that Konoha had many bloodline limiters. If this ninjutsu came true, Konoha would suffer a heavy blow. He secretly summoned elite ninjas such as Hatake Kakashi to discuss the matter.

Kakashi speculated that it might be a revenge attempt by a defeated country. Danzo decided to send people to investigate the ninjutsu research institutions of various countries. Naruto heard about this and volunteered to join the investigation team.

The investigation team searched for clues everywhere and went through many hardships. Finally, they found something suspicious on a remote island. The island was heavily guarded, with strange runes and experimental equipment everywhere. Naruto and others fought against the guarding ninja and broke into the core area.

A huge device was running, and several ninjas whose bloodline energy was extracted were lying next to it. Naruto was furious and rushed directly to the mastermind. After a fierce battle, Naruto defeated the enemy with the Rasengan and destroyed the device.

Konoha once again resolved the crisis, and Danzo realized that Konoha's safety could never be relaxed. He increased the intensity of patrols around Konoha and encouraged ninjas to develop new ninjutsu to deal with unknown dangers. From then on, Konoha continued to move forward on the path of peaceful development.
