Chapter 68 That fatso actually betrayed me!
"According to the intelligence I have obtained, the Mist Blade Squad consists of six people, all of whom are elites."
Ryoma Aburame handed the scroll to Jiraiya, who quickly unrolled it and examined it closely with Fugaku.
At the same time, Danzo Shimura slowly began to speak.
"Its members include: Ao, the former Kirigakure Jonin 'Byakugan Hunter'; Hozuki Mangetsu, the genius of the Hozuki clan; Hoshigaki Kisame of the Hoshigaki clan; Ringo Ameyuri of the Ringo clan; and Minazuki Yuki of the Yuki clan!"
"Their captain, who you call Uchiha Makoto, is actually a direct descendant of the Kirigakure clan's Karatachi family, and Karatachi Yagura's cousin!"
"What?!"
An uproar erupted in the command center!
Everyone stared at Danzo in shock, especially Fugaku Uchiha, whose brows were furrowed and whose three-tomoe Sharingan was fixed on Danzo.
A member of the tangerine family?
Yagura's cousin?
In other words, that guy wasn't an Uchiha at all!
But those eyes...
"Old man Danzo, is this information reliable?"
Jiraiya asked in a deep voice, "Survivors and witnesses at the Cangnan supply station all confirmed that the attacker possessed the three-tomoe Sharingan. If this person is not an Uchiha, how can this be explained?"
Fugaku Uchiha nodded in agreement.
A transplanted Sharingan cannot shut down on its own. Since that guy wasn't from the Uchiha clan, how did he manage to do it?
Could it be that someone in the Karatachi clan had a romantic relationship and marriage with an Uchiha, resulting in a bloodline that produced a bastard like Karatachi Makoto?!
"Hmph, when has my intelligence network ever made a mistake?"
Danzo snorted softly, a smug look appearing in his eyes.
He paid a high price for this intelligence, obtaining it from Kirigakure itself.
After multiple verifications, he confirmed that the ultimate source of this information was most likely Suigetsu Hozuki, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and the deputy head of the Kirigakure Intelligence Department!
If it's that fatso, then there's basically no problem.
People in the underworld all know that this guy is a seasoned swindler who occasionally sells information; he's a well-known information broker in Kirigakure.
Furthermore, the prelude to Makoto Karatachi's rise to fame was the defeat of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and many in Kirigakure already regarded the Mist Blade Squad as the successors or even replacements of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
The old and the new generations are replaced, and power is passed on.
Given this situation, it would be perfectly normal for the pufferfish demon to betray Makoto Karatachi's information.
"Makoto Karatachi, the nephew of the current head of the Karatachi clan, whose cousin is none other than Yagura Karatachi, currently fighting against our army on the Kirigakure front!"
"This child has been known as a playboy since childhood. He is uneducated, idle, and has a terrible reputation in Kirigakure. He was even excluded from the family's core training program at one time."
"But this is a ruse by the head of the Karatachi clan to deceive others. In reality, it is to hide the only bloodline limit that Karatachi Makoto has awakened in the Karatachi clan in the past hundred years."
"The Hand of God!"
"The Hand of God?"
Fugaku frowned. How did this get to this? Isn't that guy's bloodline limit the Sharingan?
"good."
Danzo nodded and said in a deep voice, "I am not entirely clear about the specific abilities of this bloodline limit, but based on the information available, it is very likely related to 'copying' or 'simulating' the bloodline limit of others."
"Copying the Bloodline Limit?"
Jiraiya muttered to himself, an expression of disbelief on his face: "How is this possible?!"
If that's true, this ability is simply heaven-defying.
As everyone knows, a bloodline limit is a power that a person is born with, a gift of bloodline, a unique power that one is born with!
Throughout history, there have been those who coveted the power of bloodline limits.
Flesh and blood transplantation, gene cloning, technological creations.
It has been a thousand years since chakra appeared, but very few people have actually succeeded through these methods.
For example, the Snow Clan's Ice Release bloodline limit allows those guys in the Land of Snow to simulate the power of Ice Release by taking advantage of the icy and snowy environment, combined with chakra technology and chakra ratios.
However, the two are not even in the same league in terms of bloodline strength, morphological changes, or nature changes!
But at this moment, Danzo said that there is a bloodline that can replicate the bloodlines of other people.
How is this possible?!
"The ninja world is vast and full of wonders."
Danzo glanced at Jiraiya and said in a deep voice.
"The Sharingan eye power he displayed at the Cangnan supply station was likely copied from a member of the Uchiha clan using this ability. Moreover, it's rumored that he also used the Kaguya clan's Shikotsumyaku in a previous battle."
"Of course, this kind of copying also has special limitations, such as time, number of times, or the need for certain specific conditions."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have been ambushing the supply depot from the shadows; he should have gathered all the bloodlines of the five great ninja villages and crushed us on the front lines!"
"Even so, this ability is far too dangerous." Fugaku Uchiha's three-tomoe eyes slowly swirled, his voice icy: "If he were to truly grow stronger, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
"That is precisely why I have come in person."
Danzo's single eye swept over everyone present, his tone sharp.
"Makoto Karatachi must die, and the Mist Blade Squad must be completely wiped out! This is not only to avenge Shinnosuke, but also for the safety of Konoha and the entire ninja world!"
"Imagine, everyone, that he can now impersonate Uchiha Makoto. If he were to copy the Byakugan, could he also impersonate Hyuga Makoto?"
"Infiltrating major ninja villages to gather secrets, impersonating high-ranking officials to create chaos, and even infiltrating the decision-making core to sabotage... their potential threat far exceeds any known method of espionage or assassination!"
The command post was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop.
The group, who had been anxious because they couldn't find any trace of the enemy, now felt a chill run down their spines.
Yes, if this Makoto could truly copy other people's bloodline limits at will, what would that mean?
Fugaku Uchiha's face turned ashen.
As the head of the Uchiha clan, he understood the power of the Sharingan better than anyone else, and he also knew better what kind of disaster it would bring if this power were to fall into the hands of an outsider, especially a Hidden Mist ninja who was an enemy of Konoha and used it for disguise.
The secrets of the Uchiha, Hyuga, and Kurama bloodline clans may be leaked, and Makoto Karatachi may even be able to use this opportunity to delve deeper.
At that time, everything will be completely transparent to Makoto Gojibana!
Jiraiya silently flipped through the information in his hand. Apart from Makoto Karatachi, he also had some information on the other members of the Mist Blade Squad.
Kisame Hoshigaki, with his immense chakra reserves; Hozuki Mangetsu, whose water-style swordsmanship is incredibly versatile and sharp; Ringo Ameyuri, a genius of lightning-style techniques; Ao, the Byakugan assassin; and a medical ninja with an ice-style bloodline limit...
