I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

"And this fire is not something that can be bought with the lives of our people or our comrades!"

"Whether it's the Hyuga or the Uchiha, they are both part of Konoha, an integral part of Konoha."

Danzo Shimura glared at them coldly, his single, sharp eye, like that of a hawk, sweeping fiercely over all the attendees, and his questioning continued unabated!

"Faced with the invasion of Kirigakure and the deaths of your comrades, you actually think of sacrificing your comrades and trading their lives for peace??"

"Ah."

"Where's your backbone?"

"Where is your dignity?"

"Is this behavior truly worthy of our ancestors? Can such a will truly guide future generations in the village with a clear conscience?"

"Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the entire ninja world?"

'Thump! Thump thump!'

Overwhelmed with emotion, this usually cold and unapproachable old man once again struck the ground with his cane in exasperation!

His anger and dissatisfaction were clearly felt by everyone present.

Danzo Shimura's attitude also startled Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado!

How come this guy who promised to be vigilant, isolated, excluded, and ultimately eliminate Uchiha Ara has suddenly changed his mind?

And without the slightest warning or discussion!

This completely put them on the defensive, placing them against the greater good!

'That despicable Danzo!'

A silent curse echoed in their minds.

However, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado couldn't refute or confront them directly, otherwise they would only sink deeper into the quagmire.

However, little did they know that Shimura Danzo's words were entirely impulsive.

What caused such a dramatic change in their attitude was precisely that little bastard they wanted to target and eliminate—Uchiha Ara!

Why was it that, despite being disciples of the Second Hokage, it was Hiruzen Sarutobi who was ultimately recognized by Tobirama and chosen to become Hokage, and not you?

'Back then, were you waiting—no, hoping someone else would speak first?'

These two sentences truly served as a wake-up call for Danzo!

Just a little bit.

At that time, he was really just a tiny bit away from becoming Hokage!

But now:

The third generation leader remained silent and unwilling to speak out, the two advisors were in a passive position and on the opposite side of the greater good, and Kurama Murakumo, the only one to speak out, was of little influence!

This was his best moment!

Moreover, such vivid and sharp words are indeed useful.

In an instant, all eyes passed over the Hokage and fell on him.

Who is Danzo?

Dark, cold-blooded, and unapproachable—these are common labels!

Furthermore, there is a huge 'misunderstanding' between them and the Uchiha clan.

But what?

But in this moment of crisis, in this moment of imminent danger, he was actually able to set aside the 'misunderstanding' between them and choose to speak up for Uchiha Ara and for the Uchiha clan!!

What kind of quality is this?

What a noble cause this is!

It should be noted that even the Hokage himself had not spoken up for his fallen comrade, or for Uchiha Ara, until now!

"Lord Danzo is right."

"It's hard to find peace of mind to exchange the sacrifice of comrades for temporary tranquility!"

"The Hyuga clan is willing to fight for Konoha, and for our fallen comrades!!"

"We will not return until we win!!"

Hiashi Hyuga said in a deep voice.

Those distinctive eyes looked directly past the nearby Hokage and down to the one-eyed old man seated behind him, their gaze filled with admiration and a hint of gratitude.

At the same time, a strange thought suddenly arose in his mind.

If only I had sought help from Lord Danzo when he was in power, instead of relying on the Hokage's negotiations and decisions.

Then wouldn't his younger brother have survived a wrongful death, and wouldn't even have had his remains taken away by the Cloud Village?

Thinking of this, distinct veins appeared at the corners of his eyes, and the chakra within his body showed signs of surging!

Despite such a gaze upon him and such words in his ears, Shimura Danzo remained upright and composed, his expression unchanged. Even though his heart was pounding with excitement, he showed not a trace of extra emotion.

All that can be seen is pity and indignation!

After all, he has a firm grasp on emotional control and portraying personality.

Even Hanzo the Salamander couldn't see through it back then.

Oh, right, speaking of Hanzo...

'How did that little rascal get back?'

'Even that guy couldn't kill him? Or is he hiding an even more terrifying secret?'

Thinking of this, Danzo's expression quietly became serious.

Because the sudden outbreak of war on the eastern border almost made him forget about this aspect.

However, this thought of his was quickly forgotten.

because........

"I also agree with Lord Danzo's statement."

"The Yamanaka clan is willing to fight for Konoha, and for their fallen comrades!"

"I am also willing to personally go to the eastern border to guard it and personally avenge my enemies!!"

In his ears, he heard another word from Lord Danzo, another word of agreement and approval, and this time it came from the Yamanaka clan, who were very close to the third generation. This was definitely a highlight of his life!

He also temporarily suppressed the matter concerning Uchiha Ara and Hanzo of the Salamander.

This matter definitely needs to be clarified, but not now, but after the meeting.

"Lord Hokage, I also think Lord Danzo makes sense, for three main reasons."

Another family head spoke, and his prestige was in no way inferior to that of Shimura Danzo. However, unlike the previous ones, he paid more attention to etiquette in his attitude.

Instead of praising Danzo's words right away, the author put the Hokage's name at the beginning.

Nara Shikaku's words quieted the room somewhat. After all, the Nara clan has always been the brains of Konoha. Their judgments, while not always correct or groundbreaking, are always the most reasonable and prudent.

As for the two advisors whose faces were as black as charcoal, he couldn't care less about them.

"Firstly, fundamentally speaking, this is very different from the Hyuga incident."

"First of all, Kirigakure's reasons for launching the attack are untenable. Forcibly demanding our geniuses under the pretext of a full-scale war is unacceptable to any power. Secondly, Konoha has recovered from the Third Shinobi World War after decades of recuperation. Although what happened to the Uchiha clan was heartbreaking and caused us irreversible losses."

"But to put it bluntly, Konoha is still not afraid of Kirigakure!!"

Nara Shikaku's words were powerful and resonated with many people present.

The reason they did not want a full-scale war was that they did not want to cause greater losses and were unwilling to inflict irreversible harm on the people of both sides.

Instead of being afraid!

"Our temporary setback is due to the fact that the enemy has mobilized all its forces to attack our eastern gateway, and there is a huge disparity in numbers between the two sides."

"The fact that the battle line was held at the second line of defense instead of collapsing completely demonstrates the bravery and fearlessness of the stationed ninjas."

This head of the Nara family was indeed different from others.

Not only does he possess a calm demeanor in the face of danger, but his words also inexplicably inspire confidence.

"Secondly, there are the consequences of handing over Uchiha Ara, which can be divided into internal and external impacts."

"Internally: Such cowardice will inevitably lower our morale, even if the two advisors have good intentions and want to minimize Konoha's losses."

"But we can understand, and we might even agree with it from the bottom of our hearts."

"But! Can the younger generation understand?"

"Most of them will just think that Konoha was cowardly, and that the Will of Fire of Konoha was not manifested in the previous generation!"

"This will be a huge negative impact on the future of the entire Hidden Leaf Village!"

Nara Shikaku managed to salvage the dignity of the two advisors, but it still couldn't change the opposing viewpoints.

Hiashi Hyuga felt this most deeply.

Because the Hyuga clan were the most direct victims of the exchange of interests between Konoha and Kumogakure.

Leaving aside the other branch family members, every time I see my nephew Neji, I can't help but feel guilty and speechless.

"Your father, Hizashi, died willingly for his clan and for Konoha; it's not my fault."

Can he say that?

Even if we did say it, what then?

It will only exacerbate the conflict between the two parties, making the other party feel that they are shirking responsibility.

"Externally: Just as Lord Danzo and Uchiha Ara said, one step back leads to another!"

"Using your own comrades as bargaining chips for reconciliation, what about next time? What if the other major ninja villages come knocking on your door again?"

What kind of bargaining chips should we offer?

"Such a self-destructive act will only push Konoha into an abyss!"

At this point, Nara Shikaku paused briefly, but quickly continued:
