Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

Uchiha Yingyue stood on a high place in Konoha Village, looking down at the bustling streets of the village, his heart filled with complicated emotions.

Everything that had happened in recent days had forced him to re-examine the situation he was in.

Kagezuki was somewhat surprised by Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision to punish Shimura Danzo - stripping him of his position as Root leader and confining him to his home for half a year.

In the original plot, after Hatake Sakumo committed suicide, Danzo did not receive any punishment, and even Hatake Sakumo's sacrifice did not receive due recognition.

However, this time, things went in a completely different direction.

Danzo was dealt with and Hatake Sakumo was posthumously named the hero of Konoha. These changes made Yingyue realize that the evidence and actions he provided did change the plot.

"It seems that my efforts have not been in vain." Yingyue thought to himself, with a calm light flashing in his eyes.

Although Danzo was not directly overthrown this time, being able to make Sarutobi Hiruzen make such a decision was already a huge progress.

After all, as the Hokage's assistant, Danzo had a very deep friendship with Sarutobi Hiruzen. If he had not committed an unforgivable mistake, it would have been difficult for Sarutobi Hiruzen to impose substantial punishment on him.

Kagezuki knew that Danzo Shimura was not only a member of Konoha's upper echelons, but also a key figure who controlled the dark side of the village.

Although his roots do not affect the operation of the village openly, he is the most secretive force within the village.

It is an extremely difficult task to directly bring down Danzo, but this punishment has undoubtedly shaken Danzo's reputation, especially among the major families in Konoha.

"Danzo has gone too far this time. His actions have aroused the vigilance of Konoha's major families." Yingyue analyzed secretly in his heart.

Although the major families appeared to support the Konoha high-level officials on the surface, they had actually long been dissatisfied with Danzo's style of doing things.

This time, Danzo's conspiracy led to the suicide of a strong man like Hatake Sakumo. The impact was not limited to the turmoil within Konoha, but also greatly reduced the overall combat power and reputation of the village.

After this incident, the major families' trust in Danzo obviously dropped significantly.

The power structure of Konoha Village is complex. Although the major families support Sarutobi Hiruzen's rule as Hokage externally, they are not all united internally.

Danzo's ambition and conspiracy made these families wary, and this incident undoubtedly deepened their distrust of Danzo.

"At least among the families, Danzo's influence has been hit." Yingyue thought silently.

Although Danzo was under house arrest for half a year, this was only a temporary measure. After the house arrest is over, Danzo may rise again and continue to exert his political power.

Yingyue knew very well that in order to truly deprive Danzo of power, he must find more powerful evidence, or make Danzo commit a more irreparable mistake.

However, Shadow Moon was in no rush.

Although Danzo is powerful, he is ultimately a person hiding in the dark and cannot act recklessly.

This failure has made him wary of Sarutobi Hiruzen and other families, and every step in the future will be more difficult.

And Yingyue will continue to bide her time and wait for the opportunity to act.

"This is just the beginning." Yingyue sneered in his heart.

He knew that changing the plot was not something that could be done overnight, especially when facing a force like Danzo that had been entrenched for many years and was deeply rooted. Every step needed to be taken with caution.

And this victory, though small, laid the foundation for future struggles.

Uchiha Kagezuki went to Orochimaru's laboratory as night fell.

The dark night sky contrasted sharply with his inner determination. He had already made up his mind - to resurrect Hatake Sakumo.

Although he has temporarily preserved Sakumo's soul through the soul sealing technique, how to create a new body for him has become the biggest problem at present.

Yingyue knew very well that this task was extremely complicated, and in Konoha, the only one who had the ability to solve this problem was Orochimaru.

As a scientific research genius in Konoha Village, Orochimaru has always been famous for various taboo research, especially in the field of biotechnology, his talent and means are unmatched. Yingyue has a clear direction in mind, the only way to revive Hatake Sakumo is to cooperate with Orochimaru.

Yingyue pushed open the door of Orochimaru's laboratory. The air was filled with a faint smell of chemicals, and cold experimental equipment and flashing devices came into his sight.

Orochimaru was standing in front of the experimental table, operating some test tubes and instruments with his hands deftly. He heard Yingyue's footsteps, tilted his head slightly, and revealed a strange smile.

"Kagezuki-kun, your arrival is truly unexpected." Orochimaru's voice was filled with a hint of pleasure and amusement.

Yingyue did not hide his purpose and said directly: "Orochimaru, I need your help. I have sealed Hatake Sakumo's soul into a container, and I want to revive Hatake Sakumo."

Hearing this, Orochimaru stopped what he was doing and turned to face Kagezuki, his eyes sparkling with interest. "Resurrect Hatake Sakumo? Haha, Kagezuki-kun, your idea is very interesting. You know, resurrecting a person is not a simple task. Your soul sealing technique is good, but it is extremely difficult to create a brand new body for him."

Yingyue nodded. He knew the difficulty of this matter very well, and also knew the genius of Orochimaru. "I know you have the skills, and I have successfully sealed Sakumo's soul. As long as there is a suitable body, we can revive him."

Orochimaru chuckled and approached Shadow Moon, his eyes full of curiosity and expectation. "King Moon, you are right. The combination of soul and body is indeed an interesting proposition. Hatake Sakumo, the former White Fang of Konoha, has such powerful abilities. It is really exciting to see what changes his resurrection will bring."

Yingyue nodded slightly, without further explanation, and asked directly: "Do you have any way to clone a body suitable for Hatake Sakumo?"

A thoughtful gleam flashed in Orochimaru's eyes. He did not answer immediately, but pondered for a moment, then said: "Resurrecting a strong man's body is not just a simple cloning. Hatake Sakumo is a Kage-level strong man. His physical strength, chakra capacity, and ability to carry various ninjutsu all require very complex technology to achieve. Although I have done some research in the field of biotechnology, it will take some time to clone a complete and powerful body."

Yingyue frowned slightly, feeling slightly disappointed.

He knew Orochimaru was capable, but it sounded like this was going to be much more difficult than he thought.

At this moment, Orochimaru's eyes flashed, and he continued: "However, I do have a suggestion. Have you heard of Beiruohu?"

"Hirohu?" Yingyue was a little surprised. "He is just a Konoha jonin with average qualifications, right?"
