Ara's gaze was fixed on the still silent Shimura Danzo, his icy eyes seeming to want to shatter the armor forged in silence that the other man was wearing.

It should be noted that after the Fourth Hokage passed away, this guy coveted the position of Fifth Hokage and even sent ninjas to raid the Third Hokage who was on his way to the Daimyo's residence to resume his post!

Although the result was a failure.

However, if it weren't for Kakashi Hatake's sudden realization at a crucial moment, this position would probably no longer belong to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Complex gazes fell upon the old man who had remained silent since provoking the incident, all wanting an answer from him.

"What is wrong, Lord Danzo?"

"Since Consultant Xiaochun mentioned the past, could you also answer my question?"

"No, I don't need to go through all that trouble to explain. Just take off your bandages and let me see them."

Huang was aggressive and did not stop despite the other party's silence.

He didn't believe that in such a short time, this old guy with such grand schemes could forcibly take away the Sharingan that had been transplanted into his pupil!

However, at this crucial, tense moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sitting in the center, spoke up:

"enough."

"We are all ninjas of Konoha. Whether it's Danzo or the Uchiha clan, I am willing to trust them one hundred percent."

"In the past, the Uchiha clan was ordered not to fight because the duty of the police force was to protect the safety of non-combat members."

"The reason for relocating the Uchiha clan was because that area had a sufficiently large training ground. Clan Chief Fugaku petitioned me privately more than once, wanting to provide a place where the younger members of the clan and members of the police force could be uniformly deployed and trained."

"If these two incidents have had a negative impact on the Uchiha clan, it was indeed due to our lack of consideration in the heat of the moment. I apologize to Clan Chief Ara."

The third generation leader took the initiative to end the conversation.

Although some responses were given, many details are now impossible to verify.

The posture and high position of the shadow seem to have become extremely cheap in his presence.

"But during this period, I don't want any discordant voices to emerge within the village!"

"Perhaps you are unaware that during the battle with Kirigakure, both Sunagakure and Iwagakure secretly probed our borders."

"Now, news of Akatsuki activities has come from Kumogakure, and even the Fourth Raikage has been seriously injured and fallen into a coma as a result."

"Even in this seemingly peaceful era, undercurrents are still surging!"

"Mutual trust and mutual support are the foundation of Konoha's strength!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi ultimately couldn't bear to see Danzo Shimura driven to the brink of death.

He also believed that the latter would not voluntarily release the Nine-Tails to wreak havoc on Konoha.

However, regarding the Sharingan, this guy definitely had it transplanted!!

If this were made public, it would be a heavy blow to the reputation of the entire Konoha leadership.

Therefore, it is necessary for them to speak out at the right time to break the deadlock on this issue.

At the same time, it is also necessary to create another point of conflict to attract everyone's attention, and this point of conflict is the Akatsuki organization!

"The Nine-Tails' rampage eight years ago may have been orchestrated by the Akatsuki."

They directly released the final conclusion.

Such words were very effective, directly silencing all the doubts in the room.

"People can connect these recent events together."

"First of all, as everyone who has been to the eastern border knows, the Fourth Mizukage started this battle because he was controlled by villains using genjutsu."

"Regarding the identities of the controllers, Lord Yagura has already informed me. Although I do not know their names, they are all wearing black trench coats embroidered with red clouds!"

"The Nine-Tails' rampage eight years ago was very similar to the starting point of its tyranny. If a genjutsu could control a Jinchuriki, it would probably be possible to control only a Tailed Beast."

"Secondly, in the Uchiha clan incident, the guy who took Uchiha Itachi away at the end also had the Sharingan. Not only me, but many ninjas present also saw this."

"Now, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure has been captured by them, and all the points involved are centered around the Tailed Beasts."

Having said that, the whole situation is quite clear.

The Akatsuki mentioned by the Third Hokage is most likely the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails' rampage eight years ago.

Such a methodical analysis and such a precise answer made Huang look at this elderly man with new respect.

The world thought that the Third Hokage was old and had been led by Shimura Danzo.

However, he sees things more clearly than anyone else in many ways.

The reason they don't speak, do, or interfere is simply because they want to use this opportunity to eliminate anything that poses a threat to Konoha.

For example, the Uchiha clan.

In this way, there's always someone to take the blame.

However, Danzo's repeated failures have threatened his own prestige and reputation, which is why he chose to intervene.

"From the beginning, all of Konoha's external operations have focused on gathering information about Akatsuki's activities."

"We must dig out and eradicate this source of chaos hidden deep within the ninja world."

"I will send someone to communicate with Hanzo the Salamander again."

Hiruzen Sarutobi delivered his command with fluid grace.

"As for the three of you: Danzo, Koharu, and Ara."

"Each of you shall be confined to your own residence for three years to reflect on how you should treat your fellow citizens. During this period, you are not required to attend any meetings!"

"I don't want to see this kind of mutual blame situation happen again in the future."

"What Konoha needs for its future is unity!"

His magnanimous spirit was on full display here, and his resolute and firm words left no room for rebuttal.

He is ultimately just a shadow!

Finally, his gaze fell on Uchiha Ara.

Three years,

That's enough for me to see your true nature.

Is this a temporary surge in strength that overdraws on potential, or a deceptive cover-up?

Chapter 237 All you need to do is stand behind me and watch me!

Being confined to one's home is neither terrible nor unacceptable to Huang.

He even desperately needed such a buffer period to free himself.

Yes,

liberation!

From the death of Brother Zhishui, to the northern border, to the night of the annihilation, and then to the recently concluded eastern border.

Aside from the months he spent in the hospital, his hands were never clean, and he carried far too much sin and hatred on his shoulders.

That terrifying monster, who reigned supreme in heaven and earth, had reached the critical point of its descent.

If one continues to fight along this path, although one can greatly improve oneself, what will become of one in the end, and how should one face that being?

Let me give you an example.

His position in front of Ashura is similar to Naruto Uzumaki facing Kurama.

Even though a contract maintains the relationship between the two,

but,

Who is controlling whom, who is influencing whom, and who will ultimately become whom—all these remain unknown!

Therefore, even if one day the other party really does come, you must at least make yourself strong enough to face him.

Instead of being influenced by it without resistance!

Even to the point of losing one's own will!

Of course, Huang knew this.

He learned the reason why Hiruzen Sarutobi had placed him under house arrest.

After all, the two high-ranking officials who were also confined were merely insignificant bystanders. The four of them had many ways to reunite, and the two old men did not need to leave Konoha to do anything else.

The real reason is: fear.

Those old guys are genuinely starting to get scared and are beginning to seriously suppress their fear!

But is such imprisonment effective?

[A barrier? It's as thin as paper before Miyagi-maru.]

[The naked eye? Those weaker than me are invisible!]

If he really wants to go out, no one can stop him, and no one can know.

Unless, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, is watching him every single moment!

After clearing his mind of distractions, Ara took out a vial of blood that the cat had passed to him.

This is the blood of Raiga Kurosuki, a member of the Ninja Swordsmen, used as material for summoning the yokai, Jumpy Brother. He has waited too long for this day!

"The demons of the other shore, drawn by my blood, have descended upon this realm to serve me!"

Huang chanted slowly, and blood gradually stained the talisman that appeared before him.

A cold wind howled, and the ground began to tremble and crack.

As that page of talisman was burned to ashes by a strange power, and wisps of ash fell to the ground, a dark blue hand suddenly emerged from the cracked ground!

"This is where?"

"Who are you?"

"Where are my younger brother and sister?!"
