Summary: In which Danzō begins plotting.

—————————————

His plans are going to fall apart, and it's the fault of the new Uzumaki.

He grits his teeth at the single thought of him, and Danzō slams his hand on his desk in front of his subordinates. They seem to flinch from the loud bang, and he's going to have to make sure they undergo more training to avoid this again.

"Are you telling me," he says thunderously, and they seem to shrink away from him. Tools do not flinch, he wants to shout. They feel no emotions or feelings at all. "That Uzumaki Kurama had captured one of ROOT's agents in a trap and had them dangling from a tree in the streets?"

"Yes, sir," says one of the tools in front of him. Danzō narrows his eyes at them. Places the heat of the glare on him, and they don't flinch. If he recalls the code name correctly, this is Bear. "The Hokage detained him and demands to know who he is."

"Is the Nara catching on my plans?" Danzō quickly asks. Nara Shikaku, Head of the Nara Clan, and the Jōnin Commander of Konohagakure. He only needed little information about one case, and can solve it immediately after putting it together and observing one's actions. Danzō has to be careful where he walks in this.

"The possibilities are currently zero," Bear tells him monotonously, "as Nara-sama shows no sign of being aware of it."

"Good." He remembers the day of the council meeting, and what that Uzumaki had whispered to him when he was about to leave.

"Watch your back, Shimura. I had little friends telling me everything about what you did, and once I settled my score with someone, I'm coming for you. And you better be prepared to die."

Those ominous words echo along his mind as he thinks about it. His hand curls around his cane as he also remembers what someone has told him.

"Uzumaki Kurama isn't completely human," the voice of his new ally purrs from the shadows, hidden away from the moonlight beams that glows silver on the floor. "He is the one I need for my plans, being a fierce and stubborn Bijuu, after all."

It gets him thinking about those words as well. They had told him Kurama isn't human, and yet, he is one. And they told him that he's a Bijuu, a massive chakra being shoved inside a human body, and he wants (no, needs) Kurama so he can finally take over Konohagakure as Hokage.

The first step is to slowly convince him to join Danzō, but the pesky little Hatake and the Hebi Sannin is always with him along with those children, and the Namikaze brat and the Head of the Uzumaki Clan. They're always with him, but Hatake's with him the most.

Take out Hatake Sakumo.

A plan begins formulating in his mind, as he dismisses his tools and sits down on his chair, sketching out possible missions that he could use without allowing Hiruzen to know. The weak fool would probably refuse it immediately.

"Shimura Danzō," a voice purrs from the shadows, and Danzō recognizes the chakra. He flares his own to warn ROOT to stay away from the office, and turns to the pale-skinned person with white hair. A devilish smile spreads across their features, purple rings gleaming.

The person gives a mock bow towards Danzō, as another (he isn't sure why one would wear and white mask with black rings around it) steps from behind. "Allow us to begin our plans."

Danzō begins his plans with the villains!

So you see, the ANBU that you saw in the last chapter (dangling from their pants) is a ROOT agent, and Danzō's pissed. Shikaku is one of the only people who could figure out in an instant about what Danzō's planning, but he didn't look for it because Danzō was very careful this time.

However, Kurama had him cornered and as revealed by our villain, he's a Bijuu. That means Danzō has way more plans, and he's planning to get rid of Sakumo. And Kurama's planning to kill Danzō!

What do you think is gonna happen?
