He called Nara nei back to his side and contacted the Nara clan to ask if they had any relevant information.
As the Dark Lord of Konoha, Danzo Shimura is very powerful. Except for the Uchiha, Hyuga, and Sarutobi, all other ninja families in Konoha are very wary of him, and the Nara clan is no exception.
However, it is impossible for Danzo to use threats for everything he does. That is too low-level and too dangerous.
Therefore, in order to obtain the help of the Nara clan, Danzo also paid a lot of money.
Then, he actually got a clue.
It is said that during the Second Ninja World War, the elders of their clan once encountered an enemy who was proficient in shadow magic and drove ninja rats.
According to the information left by the elder, that person had a connection with the Nara clan a long time ago.
"We don't know the specific information because the elder has died in the previous war. But there were also members of the Yamanaka clan and the Akimichi clan present at the time, and Lord Jiraiya and Lord Orochimaru were also there. Maybe they know something." Nara Shikaku, the current head of the Nara clan, said.
So, Danzo went to find the Yamanaka clan, the Akimichi clan, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru to find out more.
But what disappointed Danzo was that Yamanaka, Akimichi and Jiraiya did not provide any useful information. After all, they just had a fight with each other, and were almost beaten. They didn't even lift the shadow clothes that the opponent used to cover their faces, so naturally they couldn't get any information.
However, just when Danzo was getting a little impatient, Orochimaru, the guy he finally visited, whom he admired, liked, and hated, gave him the information he needed.
"Welcome to my humble home, Lord Danzo of the Anshi Village of the Ninja World." Orochimaru said as he smiled and bowed to Danzo who was sitting in a wheelchair.
"Are you making fun of me, you guy?" Danzo squeezed his cane and looked angry.
"No, no, no, how dare I laugh at Lord Danzo, who is known as the Dark Lord of the Ninja World?" Orochimaru quickly waved his hands and grinned.
Seeing Danzo's cold eyes, Orochimaru knew he couldn't go on, so he shrugged and his words and actions returned to normal.
"Okay, Lord Danzo, don't be angry. Please tell me why you came to me. Are you finally willing to support my research?" Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth and showed a happy expression.
"I can't possibly support your research, and I advise you not to try it. If you dare to desecrate the remains of the previous Hokage, you will surely die." Danzo said coldly.
"Don't talk about that guy Hiruzen. If I knew you desecrated Nidaime-sama's corpse, I would be the first to kill you."
Orochimaru frowned and clicked his tongue as if he had a toothache, then showed a helpless expression.
"I didn't expect that Lord Danzo would care about this boring master-disciple relationship. Okay, okay, then why are you looking for me now?" Orochimaru said as he made way for his seat, and both parties came to the table and sat down.
"During the Second Ninja World War, did you meet a guy who was proficient in shadow magic to drive rats?" Danzo asked with narrowed eyes.
"Huh?!" Orochimaru's pupils dilated and shrank, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Oh? Did you meet that guy?"
"No, it's just that I encountered a thief who was proficient in shadow magic. The thief could travel through space through shadows and control shadows that looked like mice. Those shadow mice could also materialize..." Danzo talked about the three times he was attacked.
Orochimaru showed a look of sudden enlightenment. He had been wondering how such a sinister guy like Danzo could be suddenly crippled. So that's how it is.
"If it's according to your description, that shouldn't be the guy I met. If it was that guy, you wouldn't have survived." Orochimaru said affirmatively.
"Even if it's not, there must be a connection, so tell me what you know," Danzo said dully.
"Hmm..." Orochimaru said as he leaned back in his chair with a faint smile.
"I will give you the experimental equipment you need, the total value cannot exceed 10 million." Danzo said.
"Well..." Orochimaru kept smiling.
"It's just a piece of information. Ten million is already very high. Don't be too greedy, Orochimaru." Danzo's eyes became dangerous.
"Lord Danzo, you should have looked for Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi, and even Jiraiya. Unlike them, I was very interested in that guy, so I specifically searched for information about him. It was really very hard." Orochimaru said.
"Twenty million, at most twenty million, and if your information does not reach this value, then you can die." Danzo said.
"Twenty million, okay. Then let me tell you, Lord Danzo, this is important information that I haven't even told my dear teacher." Orochimaru smiled with satisfaction.
"The guy I met, according to the earliest information I could find, should have been a half-human, half-rat creature that had already appeared in various countries during the Warring States Period. Folk legends about him spread all over the world. Some called him a monster and feared and hated him, while others called him the Rat God and respected and even worshipped him. Some said he was like a warrior, some said he was proficient in art and could do everything from music, calligraphy, and painting. Some said he killed and ate people, and some said he enjoyed saving people."
"And the reason why I connected the two is that I found His traces during the Second Shinobi World War, in the battle where the Uzumaki clan was almost destroyed."
"The Uzumaki clan?!" Danzo's pupils shrank, and his expression instantly became very serious.
"…That night, the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village launched a surprise attack on the Uzmaki Village, but they were obstructed by a man shrouded in black shadows. The Third Raikage was killed in the battle, and hundreds of elite Cloud and Mist ninjas also died there."
"Since then, I have been collecting intelligence using the Uzumaki clan as a clue, and finally discovered that the Uzumaki clan had come into contact with a being called Rat Immortal several decades ago."
