Chapter 173 Shadow

The white-haired old man, Uchiha Madara, smiled contemptuously: "Of course I am Uchiha Madara. So far, there is only one ninja with this name."

"Although I lost the battle with Hashirama, the Uchiha clan's secret technique saved my life. Thinking about it carefully, it was more than 30 years ago. It really makes me nostalgic."

Shimura Danzo was lying on the ground, struggling to wriggle, and roared, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. If Uchiha Madara was still alive, he would definitely not let go of his ambition and opportunity to rule Konoha!"

According to Danzo Shimura's idea, since Uchiha Madara did not die at the hands of the First Hokage, he would definitely return to Konoha Village after Hashirama's death. After all, Tobirama Senju's strength was not enough to stop him.

"Humph, how can a power-obsessed idiot like you know the true path to peace? The establishment of Konoha Village went against the original intention of Hashirama and I. Not only did its existence fail to end the war, but it intensified the cruelty of the war. What am I going to do in such a village?"

Uchiha Madara's words were full of dissatisfaction with Konoha Village. He seemed to be disdainful of the village that he once loved so much, which surprised Shimura Danzo.

When that earth-shattering showdown broke out, Danzo Shimura was still young and had no access to the real center of power. The official statement he heard was that Uchiha Madara was plotting to become Hokage, and the First Hokage had no choice but to kill him.

But no one in the entire ninja world knew the inside story except Uchiha Madara. The close companions who shared the same ideals fell out because of an ancestral stone tablet. The words on the stone tablet recorded the correct way to achieve peace in the ninja world. However, because the way was too shocking and too unbelievable, the rational Senju Hashirama rejected Uchiha Madara's proposal, which led to the subsequent rebellion against the village and the decisive battle in the Valley of the End.

Of course, Uchiha Madara would not tell these old stories to Shimura Danzo. There was no other reason, simply because the other party was not worthy.

Members of the Uchiha clan are all arrogant and aloof, and this is most vividly reflected in Uchiha Madara. He has always believed that there are only two types of ninjas in the world: Hashirama Senju and ants.

He is a ninja who follows his will. Whatever he wants to do, he must do it immediately. Even the Lord cannot stop him. It would be strange if he could treat Shimura Danshi well with such an extreme personality.

"I'll give you two choices: one is to die here, and I'll think of it as a useless piece of trash I saved before; the other is to transform into a shadow and use it for my own benefit, which can also be considered as making use of trash."

The huge psychological gap made Shimura Danzo fall into silence. Not long ago, he also sat on the chair and casually decided the life and death, honor and disgrace of each ninja. As the saying goes, what goes around comes around. Now it is his turn to experience this unspeakable feeling.

Danzo Shimura didn't want to die. He hadn't lived enough and hadn't become Hokage to prove himself. He didn't want to die in disgrace, so he just lived on.

"I wonder what you mean?"

Uchiha Madara's heart became more and more contemptuous. Hearing this, he said calmly: "I don't have much time left. I urgently need a shadow to take care of the outside world for me. You used to be the leader of the Root, so I think you have some talent."

"From now on, Danzo Shimura is dead, and you will be called Shadow."

Danzo Shimura felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to refute out loud and just remained silent.

"The Water Country is the place I have chosen. You can hide there, and someone will tell you what to do."

Danzo Shimura almost gritted his teeth. He was the second most important person in Konoha Village, but now he has become a spy. He is not used to this status change.

"But I can hardly walk now, how can I complete the task you assigned me?"

Under the candlelight, Uchiha Madara smiled slightly. In Shimura Danzo's eyes, he was no different from a devil: "Who do you think I am? Can a minor injury harm me?"

"There are only advantages and no disadvantages in being my shadow. Your body will soon be transformed."

Danzo Shimura was stunned. He had participated in many human transformation experiments over the years, but the chance of success was very slim. If he failed, he would still die. He couldn't help but worry about his life.

Uchiha Madara saw through his worries at a glance and said calmly: "Danzo, let me ask you, what level of ninja am I in your eyes?"

"Sir, you are the strongest ninja of all time." Shimura Danzo flattered.

"Hahaha"

"You are a man who knows how to adapt to the situation, but I am not the strongest ninja. Hashirama is the strongest ninja. I am just the second best."

"Hashirama is known as the God of Ninjas. This is not accurate because I am the real God!"

"Do you know the power of God?"

"..."

"Forget it. I guess an ant like you can't imagine what God looks like. But it doesn't matter. You will know it soon."

Danzo Shimura stayed in the underground base for about seven or eight days. He kept trying to communicate with Uchiha Madara again, but the other party just sat in the chair with his eyes closed and ignored him. However, the white creature was very active, chattering in his ears every day and asking all kinds of strange questions.

"Hey, do you know what constipation feels like?"

Shimura Danzo: "..."

"Do you know what sex feels like?"

Shimura Danzo: “….”

"Do you know what shit tastes like?"

Shimura Danzo: “….”

To be honest, if he hadn't been afraid of the opponent's strength and was injured, Danzo Shimura would have picked up his weapon and fought this annoying thing long ago.

At this time, Danzo Shimura missed Konoha Village very much. At least there he had the final say and would not be disturbed by such stupid things. At the same time, his murderous intent towards Yeshan grew day by day.

After spending several days in endless chatter, another inhuman creature appeared in the dim underground base. It had a yin-yang face and a pitcher plant-like thing on its head.

Uchiha Madara, who had closed his eyes for many days, opened his eyes: "Did you bring the things?"

"Yes."

As he spoke, Nepenthes took out the scroll and summoned a corpse. The corpse still retained the incredible look it had before death, with its eyes wide open. It was the remains of Kuramatani Hisashi.

Danzo Shimura looked at the corpse nervously, wondering what Uchiha Madara was going to do.

Uchiha Madara nodded with satisfaction and said, "Do you know this person?"

"do not know."

"His name is Kuramatani Hisashi, and he is the last male ninja of the Kurama clan."

"The Kurama clan?"

Dust-covered memories came flooding back. Shimura Danzo was no stranger to the Kurama clan. This family had once been powerful and was good at illusions, but there was nothing special about them.

Uchiha Madara curled his lips and said, "The Kurama clan is a small ninja clan. It has always been attached to the Senju clan. Its members have strong mental power and are good at illusion."

"But this tribe has a secret, that is, its members have strong vitality. In other words, their cells are very active, making them perfect for human body transformation."

After saying that, Uchiha Madara stomped his foot on the ground, and a huge stone statue rose from the ground. The strange thing was that there were nine huge closed eyes on the surface of the stone statue, and a human face with the eyes also closed.

Danzo Shimura's pupils shrank. He was familiar with the face on the stone statue. It was the first Hokage of Konoha Village, Hashirama Senju!

The face moved slightly, and after a moment a small piece of it fell off and fell into Uchiha Madara's hand. The strange thing was that it was still moving as if it were a living thing, which made Shimura Danzo feel dry in the mouth.

Konoha Village has been conducting experiments to use the cells of the first Hokage to transform the human body over the years in order to be able to re-cultivate Wood Release ninjas. Fortunately, they succeeded, but unfortunately, the strength of the experimental subjects they created was too weak and was completely incomparable to the first Hokage.

"I never treat my ninjas unfairly. Since you have decided to work for me, you will get great benefits."

Uchiha Madara said confidently: "The cells of Senju Hashirama are not something that ordinary people can withstand, so I took great pains to find the cells of the Kurama clan for you. After the cells are neutralized, there will naturally be no risk."

Although Uchiha Madara said it confidently, Shimura Danzo didn't dare to be careless when it came to his own life. He didn't want to become a half-human, half-ghost thing after the experiment failed: "What do you want to do, sir?"

"It's simple. Your body has died. I will create a new one for you."

As he spoke, Uchiha Madara's eyes turned scarlet in an instant, and before Shimura Danzo could react, he was knocked down by the illusion and lay unconscious on the ground, like a salted fish to be slaughtered at will.

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Madara placed Hashirama's cells on the face of Kuramatani Hisashi's corpse. The cold and dark chakra wrapped around the corpse, which was extremely dazzling in the dim underground base.

After an unknown amount of time, Danzo Shimura woke up from the chaos. He was very confused, and then he suddenly remembered what happened before. He quickly stood up and looked around, but strangely saw a corpse wrapped in bandages lying not far away.

"Who is this?"

Shimura Danzo looked at it in confusion, and felt that the body was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before. He shook his head and was about to go forward to take a closer look, but the rumbling of his stomach interrupted him.

This is the normal feeling of hunger for humans, and this feeling surprised Shimura Danzo. You know, he hasn't felt hungry for many years. When people get older, their appetite will become very poor and their food intake will become very small, which is completely opposite to when they were young.

Danzo Shimura moved his body to the body not far away, reached out his hand to turn over his body, and the face he saw immediately made him shudder.

"what!!!"

The sharp cry spread throughout the underground base and successfully attracted the annoying white creature.

But Danzo Shimura was stunned. He widened his eyes and covered his mouth in disbelief, because the scream he just made was exactly the sound of a frightened woman!

The sight of his own corpse in front of him and the sharp screams of a woman made Danzo Shimura terrified. He was sweating profusely and then he seemed to remember something and reached into his crotch.

"..."

As everyone knows, this attempt will definitely yield nothing. It would be strange if something were actually taken out.

Danzo Shimura collapsed. He could not accept the reality that his original body was abandoned and he had become a woman again. He collapsed to the ground powerlessly, with all kinds of complicated emotions surging in his heart.

How much sorrow can one have? It's like a woman visiting a brothel...

A small candlelight lit up at the right time. Uchiha Madara sat upright on the chair and nodded with satisfaction when he looked at Shimura Danzo who was slumped on the ground. This human body transformation experiment was very successful and smooth. He couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up in his heart.

Shimura Danzo trembled his lips and asked with a pitiful look, "Why did you become a woman?"

It would be fine if he abandoned his original body, but he couldn't accept becoming a woman. He had a body of seven feet tall and had the ambition to swallow the sky. How could he become a woman? !

Uchiha Madara looked at her strangely: "You didn't say you wouldn't change your gender."

Shimura Danzo: "..."

Knock on the mother, do you hear that, knock on the mother!!!

"Can it be changed back?" asked Danzo Shimura hopefully.

"Does not."

Well, Shimura Danzo's once-mighty crime tool has turned to dust, and now he...she has become the one being stabbed.

Really, things are unpredictable, big intestines are small intestines...
