Konoha: I, Ninja War Sakura, rely entirely on skills!

Chapter 197 Another murderer, Sarutobi Hiruzen
夜

The young man, with blue electric light flashing all over his body, kept chasing the girl with a knife in front of him.

Sasuke's body was wrapped in lightning. With every step he took, his figure instantly disappeared from the spot and chased after the light in front of him.

Suddenly, thousands of birds chirped and rushed towards the light accompanied by the roar of thunder and lightning.

Haha, this kid is quite interesting.

Guang stepped on a tree branch with one foot and leaped up. As his body twisted, a cold light flashed out of his sheath. In the blink of an eye, a fierce flame permeated the long sword in his hand.

There was only the sound of metal clashing, and the flashing lightning sword and the flaming sword collided with each other.

Thunder roared and sparks flew.

The two separated as soon as they touched each other, and Guang used Sasuke's strength to leap to a higher place, while Sasuke's body flashed with lightning and rushed up again!
The two sides turned into red and blue shadows and started a ferocious chase in the forest.

Every time they fought, there were sparks of fire and flashes of electricity.

The light dissolved Sasuke's attacks again and again, and the flaming sword in his hand was able to block Sasuke every time, who seemed to be extremely swift but only knew how to rush forward recklessly.

"You can't act like that. You don't look like an evil Uchiha brat at all."

"This mindless fighting style is just like Senju and Uzumaki."

"No brains at all."

While Guang was resisting Sasuke's attack, he still had time to comment on Sasuke.

Sasuke pursed his lips when he heard that.

Is that what he wants?

Lightning Release is based on speed and violence. Even if he has mastered the changes in the nature and form of Lightning Release Chakra, it is really difficult for him to maintain its speed and strength while also having the advantage of skills in battle.

Moreover, the Lightning Release Ninjutsu that Sarutobi Hiruzen had given him before was rushing along this path, and his figure could not be seen.

"What to do?"

Sasuke stopped and looked at the girl with her back to the bright moon high in the sky.

He thought of what Kakashi had said to him on the battlefield in the Frost Country.

Rather than getting his jutsu, Kakashi would rather Sasuke develop his own jutsu.

"Want to learn?"

"I'll teach you."

Guang's lively eyes turned slightly, revealing a hint of cunning.

"But you have to call me something nice."

Sasuke was a little puzzled when he heard this, as he probably already knew Guang's personality.

Although he looks like an Uchiha, his personality is surprisingly lively, as can be seen from the fact that he would argue with Sakura every now and then.

Moreover, the shouting sounded nice...

"Come on, call me auntie."

Looking at Sasuke who was standing there, Guang moved closer to him and spoke teasingly.

???

Looking at the brightly smiling girl beside him, Sasuke was unable to speak.

Aunt?
Although the other person was probably several generations older than him, the fact that she looked almost the same age as him made Sasuke unable to speak.

"I don't want to~~~"

"Then forget it~~~"

Looking at Sasuke with a conflicted look on his face, Guang raised his eyebrows, made a beautiful sword move, sheathed the sword, and then put his hands on his head and prepared to leave.

"..."

"...Auntie."

A faint mosquito-like sound came out of Sasuke's mouth. If you didn't listen carefully, you might not be able to hear it clearly.

"Hey!"

"How good! You are worthy of being an evil Uchiha brat who would do anything to gain power."

Hikaru's eyebrows completed the crescent moon and he patted Sasuke's head in satisfaction.

Even if Sasuke didn't say anything, Hikaru planned to teach Sasuke.

After all, she still wanted to witness Sasuke pushing the Uchiha windmill of love. It would be no fun if the other party was tripped by a stone under his feet and fell to death in the process.

"The so-called skill is..."

"Who? Come out!"

Uchiha Hikaru has never been a person who procrastinates. After agreeing to Sasuke, he planned to speak directly without any hesitation.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a shuriken shot out from Uchiha Hikaru's hand!
The shuriken hit the tree next to the person accurately.

This was not a misdirected shot, but Uchiha Hikaru did it on purpose.

After all, they are in Konoha, and considering the relationship with Sasuke, Uchiha Hikaru is unwilling to cause trouble for this evil Uchiha kid.

It would be troublesome if I stabbed two blind guys to death.

"I didn't expect that the Uchiha now has another clan member."

A hoarse and old voice came out of the visitor's mouth.

The figure that followed the sound walked out from the dark shadows under the trees.

Uchiha Hikaru frowned slightly as he looked at the other party, and Sasuke also stared at the other party.

"This old man is Danzo Shimura."

A man in a black kimono and holding a cane appeared in front of the two.

"..."

Sasuke did not respond to the old man who appeared in front of him in the middle of the night.

He didn't even know the other person.

"It's normal that you don't know me."

"Because I have been working in the dark in Konoha, dealing with those who are threatening to Konoha in the dark."

"Anything that is difficult for the Hokage to handle will be handled by me."

The single eye that Shimura Danzo exposed looked at the boy and girl in front of him silently and darkly.

"Perhaps you can understand that I am the Hokage in the shadows."

Shimura Danzo's words made Sasuke's expression slightly calmer.

On the premise that the third generation taught him the Lightning Release Ninjutsu, he is also Sakura's master.

Sasuke is very fond of the existence of Naruto.

And more importantly, Sasuke considered himself a Konoha ninja from the beginning to the end.

Even though he never said these things, he always implemented them and took actions to contribute his share of strength to Konoha.

"So, what's the matter with you visiting me so late at night?"

Sasuke hesitated and subconsciously used honorifics.

"This is exactly why I came to see you."

Shimura Danzo's eyes were dark as he glanced at Uchiha Hikaru.

He didn't recognize this female Uchiha clan member. She was an Uchiha clan member who appeared inexplicably after that dead girl Haruno Sakura left the village some time ago.

"Tsk, you guys chat, I'm going back to sleep."

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Guang waved his hand and left in dissatisfaction.

Sasuke looked a little regretful.

I was thinking of learning some technical skills from Guang, but it seems I will have to wait until next time.

It was a dark and windy night, with large dark clouds blocking the bright moon in the sky. The shadow cast by the clouds gradually covered Danzo Shimura, and then encroached on the young man in front.

"Sasuke, do you know the truth about Uchiha Itachi?"

The man lowered his eyes and looked at the boy in front of him.

"..."

Sasuke's expression calmed down, and no emotion could be seen.

"It seems that Haruno Sakura didn't tell you the truth about the Uchiha clan extermination."

There was a barely perceptible smile on Shimura Danzo's lips.

He thought deeply for a long time before deciding to contact this last Uchiha.

And it must be fast, there must be no delay.

Because after he has contacted the other party, this boy who has always trusted Sakura Haruno will definitely tell Sakura Haruno about what he had looked for him.

You have to make the other person believe in you completely after meeting you once.

"Uchiha Itachi, pathetic man."

Shimura Danzo spoke slowly.

"In order to protect his only brother, he chose to destroy the entire Uchiha."

Danzo Shimura, who was well aware of this, dropped a bombshell as soon as he opened his mouth, which made the inexperienced boy opposite him tremble all over.

It's not shock, it's anger, incomparable anger.

What did the other party say?
What does it mean to destroy the entire Uchiha just to protect your only younger brother?

"It seems that Haruno Sakura really didn't tell you anything."

"This matter should have remained hidden in the dark underground and never see the light of day."

"But at this moment, we can no longer hide."

"I will tell you now the truth about the Uchiha clan genocide."

Shimura Danzo looked at the boy in front of him and continued speaking.

"Shut up..."

"The Uchiha back then..."

"Shut up!"

The lightning was violent, and a ninja sword flashing with arcs was at Shimura Danzo's throat in the blink of an eye.

Sasuke raised his scarlet eyes and stared at the old man in front of him.

"You can kill me, but do you think you can cover up the truth by killing me?"

Danzo Shimura sneered at the young man in front of him, and continued to talk.

"You are afraid."

"There's a reason why I'm afraid that the man I've hated for seven years has his own reasons."

"After all, he took great care of himself back then."

"How could his temperament change so drastically overnight?"

"Is it right?"

"Are you unwilling to accept the facts, or do you want to escape?"

"Is this Uchiha Itachi, the biological brother of that pathetically strong man?"

Sasuke looked at Danzo Shimura in front of him, his expression unchanged.

"I think you misunderstood one thing."

Sasuke's reaction was beyond Shimura Danzo's expectations. He just frowned:

"whats the matter?"

The young man's expression remained unchanged, and he continued:
"No matter what the reason or purpose is for Uchiha Itachi."

"He killed my father, he killed my mother, he killed the entire Uchiha."

"These are indisputable facts."

Sasuke closed his eyes silently, and when he opened them next time, a pair of seven-diamond Mangekyō were already spinning slowly in his eye sockets, which made Danzo Shimura freeze in place.

Kaleidoscope of the unknown...

And at this moment he is looking into the eyes of this pair of kaleidoscopes!

Shimura Danzo's expression remained unchanged, but his entire body had become slightly stiff.

"Whatever his purpose is."

"He must all die."

Sasuke looked at the man in front of him and spoke slowly.

Listening to Sasuke continue talking about the Uchiha, Shimura Danzo felt a little relieved.

Although he was surprised at Sasuke's ridiculous mental stability, it was obvious that Shimura Danzo would not give up so easily.

"But...what if I say that there was another murderer on that night of genocide?"

!!!

Sasuke's eyes widened upon hearing that.

"Who?!"

"The Sandaime Hokage of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen."

what? !

The black-haired boy froze in place as if struck by lightning.

"This is not..."

"That's impossible, is it?"

The man in the black kimono raised a triumphant smile at the corner of his lips.

"How old was Uchiha Itachi back then?" "Thirteen years old."

"But he is just a captain of the Anbu. So what if he has the Mangekyō Sharingan?"

"The Uchiha are the strongest clan in Konoha."

The man's voice hit Sasuke's heart like a hammer.

"Who in the entire Konoha has the ability to destroy the Uchiha clan quietly?"

Shimura Danzo's voice was like a devil's sound piercing Sasuke's ears, making him unable to calm down.

Naruto...

Naruto...

Only the Hokage has the ability to destroy the Uchiha silently...

Why……

Why is it Naruto!

Bewildered, at a loss, lost...

Sasuke was completely confused.

What the man in front of me said makes sense.

But precisely because it made sense, Sasuke was unwilling to believe it.

Because the Third Hokage is Sakura's master.

"So, tell me what the purpose of all this is..."

Sasuke raised his head slightly, and the kaleidoscope in his eye sockets emitted a strange light.

"It's simple. I want to be the Hokage."

Sasuke was caught off guard by the man's frankness.

Shouldn't such an ambitious goal be kept deep in one's heart and then one should step by step move towards that position without telling anyone?
"Hiruzen and I are lifelong teammates, friends, and brothers."

Shimura Danzo's words were deep and sad, regretful and decisive, firm yet with a hint of complexity.

"He is the leaf bathed in the sun, and I am the root buried deep in the darkness."

"Now I am still in the darkness, constantly providing nutrients to the big tree of Konoha, but this leaf seems to have a problem."

The man named Shimura Danzo had a barely perceptible glimmer of tears in his eyes.

"During the years he was in power, Konoha White Fang committed suicide due to rumors."

"Among the three ninjas, Orochimaru defected, Tsunade was frustrated, and Jiraiya ran away."

"The Fourth Hokage, the Golden Flash, was killed in the Nine-Tails Rebellion by Minato Namikaze."

"All these things have shown that he is no longer the Hiruzen who was willing to sacrifice everything for Konoha."

There was an unspeakable sadness hidden in Shimura Danzo's words, but he still spoke with forced calmness.

"You mean, the Hokage did all this?"

Sasuke's eyes were tightly knitted together, deeply confused.

"Yes, even I don't want to believe that he did all this."

Shimura Danzo sighed slightly.

"But……"

Sasuke's face showed an incomprehensible complexity.

"What does the Hokage want by doing this?"

Sasuke really didn't understand, the Hokage was now seventy years old.

According to the other party, when the Hokage was in his forties, he killed the pillar of the village, Konoha White Fang, and then when he was about fifty years old, he forced his three apprentices away.

When he was in his fifties, he used the Nine-Tails to kill the Fourth Hokage.

But...why?

Is there any benefit for him in doing these things?

He is already the Hokage, and the entire Konoha belongs to him.

Danzo Shimura's expression froze slightly, then he reacted quickly, with a hint of sadness on his face.

"This... is probably the corruption of power on people."

This kid is more difficult to deal with than his brother!

"right……"

Sasuke frowned and whispered subconsciously.

He didn't disbelieve the words of the man in front of him, but he didn't believe them completely either.

Sasuke, who opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, clearly knew the power of the Mangekyō.

The Mangekyō has an extraordinary and huge effect on improving an Uchiha's strength.

But trying to fight the entire Uchiha clan with a pair of Mangekyō is tantamount to seeking death.

Sasuke believed what the other party said about the existence of another murderer.

However, the other party's accusations are against the current Hokage, and this Hokage is Sakura's trusted master.

Sasuke was skeptical.

Especially since the other party's purpose of doing these things for the Hokage is just an inexplicable corruption of power?

"That's right!"

“It’s the corruption of power!”

"Power can easily change a person's character!"

Shimura Danzo in front of him spoke so powerfully that Sasuke couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

"Even a man with a heart of steel like Hiruzen cannot resist the corruption of this power."

"Now, only I, the Underground Root, have the hope of leading Konoha back on the right path!"

Looking at the man in front of him, Sasuke was extremely stunned.

The other party claims to be the Hokage's teammate, friend, and brother. Isn't he as big as the Hokage?

At the age of seventy, do you still have the dream of becoming a Hokage?

"No, the next Hokage is Sakura."

Sasuke shook his head and sheathed the sword in his hand. He was ready to leave.

When it gets light, I'll go ask Sakura.

There is something strange about this person.

Just as Sasuke was about to leave, Shimura Danzo's words stopped him.

"Sasuke, do you think Haruno Sakura is a good person?"

Hearing this, the young man stopped and looked back at the man in front of him who called himself the Root of the Underground.

"Haruno Sakura, who was deeply influenced by Hiruzen, inherited all of Hiruzen's ambitions."

"Although she is your teammate, it is a pity that everything she does has ulterior motives."

"Why would she, who was already an ANBU captain at the age of twelve, condescend to form a team with you and Naruto?"

"Have you never thought about the reason?"

The night wind blew the corners of the boy's clothes, and the boy stood still without any movement.

Sakura...

Sasuke thought about the reason behind this, but in the end it came to nothing.

Does the man in front of me know?
Of course Shimura Danzo knew.

In order to cope with the Chunin Exam, that old guy shamelessly stuffed Haruno Sakura into the Genin team in order to suppress Sand Village and Iwagakure.

But he couldn't possibly say that.

"Naruto Uzumaki's true identity is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the Jinchuriki of the strongest tailed beast."

"And you, the last orphan of the Uchiha clan, are also a chess piece that can control Uchiha Itachi very well."

"As long as I control the two of you, Haruno Sakura's position as Hokage will be assured."

"The Hokage will be succeeded in his Sarutobi line."

"Let me think, according to Hiruzen's thinking, who will be the Hokage after Haruno Sakura?"

"Sarutobi Konohamaru?"

"Haruno Sakura had other purposes in mind when she first contacted you."

"She is the successor of Hiruzen's ambitions, the instigator of the Ninja World War, and has been developing incredible ambitions since she was a child."

Listening to Shimura Danzo's words, Sasuke's thoughts drifted back to that day in the Frost Kingdom.

He was severely injured by Darui of Kumogakure.

It was Sakura who carried him all the way, constantly using words and medical ninjutsu to keep him alive.

If all this is Sakura's ambition...

So, what's wrong with giving this life to Sakura?

It’s just a pity that I can’t kill Uchiha Itachi with my own hands.

"Sasuke, you have to understand, Haruno..."

A cold light suddenly appeared, and thunder and lightning roared!
The scarlet eyes spun rapidly in the boy's eyes.

A strong murderous intent burst out from him, and the lightning blade with cold light was once again placed on Shimura Danzo's neck!
"From the beginning..."

"You just keep saying bad things about Sakura."

"Do you know...I have tolerated you for a long time!"

Danzo Shimura looked at the young man in front of him silently, with a sad smile on his lips.

"Even so, will you protect Haruno Sakura?"

Sasuke answered him with an unhesitating 'yes'!
"It seems that Hiruzen succeeded."

"Just pretend I wasn't here tonight..."

Danzo Shimura shook his head helplessly, without paying any attention to the blade on his neck, and turned away.

damn it!
What kind of magic potion did that damn girl give this boy? !
Even my wonderful speech didn't impress the other party, and even though the other party had already accepted that the pink hair had ulterior motives, he still wholeheartedly defended the pink hair? !
This damn love brain!
The plan to use this kid to control Uchiha Itachi failed, and we have to make a new plan.

This position of Hokage must belong to me!

Only I can lead Konoha to the position of being the leader of the world during the period of the First Hokage!
Sasuke looked coldly at the departing man and sheathed his sword.

If the other party had not claimed to be the underground root of the village, he would have already arrested this guy.

"Wonderful!"

The light that appeared out of nowhere sat on a rock beside him and clapped his hands in praise.

She never left and heard everything clearly from beginning to end.

"You didn't leave?"

Sasuke glanced at Hikaru and spoke unhappily.

"If I leave, won't I miss this big show?"

Guang tilted his head as if it was a matter of course.

Sasuke remained silent after hearing this and just walked back.

"Hey, what are you going to do next?"

Guang chased after him and asked Sasuke curiously.

Although all this didn't matter to her, it was something Sasuke had to go through.

"I'll find Sakura and ask her everything."

Sasuke responded to Hikaru calmly.

"Sakura, Sakura, Sakura, you just know Sakura!"

"It's so boring!"

"Can't you use your brain?!"

Sasuke couldn't help but grit his teeth as he looked at Sakura, who was only asking questions to him.

What's so good about that pink hair!
This evil Uchiha brat asks her all kinds of questions!
"Forehead……"

Sasuke couldn't help but feel confused when he saw the angry Guang.

What's wrong with her?
The question is, asking Sakura about these things is really the fastest way, right?
There are easier ways to get the answer, why give yourself the trouble?

If he doesn't ask Sakura, who else can Sasuke turn to?
Sasuke couldn't help but stop where he was and think.

Although Guang's words were a bit unreasonable, they were indeed true.

Am I too dependent on Sakura?
If I go to Sakura for everything, will I appear to be a brainless reckless man?

Sasuke rubbed his chin, feeling a little conflicted.

How about... asking Kakashi tomorrow?
If Kakashi doesn't know anything, then ask Sakura.

And coincidentally, I haven't seen Kakashi for a long time.

I don't know what Kakashi is doing during this time...

"Hey!"

"Hurry up and leave!"

Guang, who was walking in front, looked at Sasuke, who was in a daze, with displeasure.

"Oh, here we come..."
