As expected, after a moment's hesitation, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "I came in a hurry, and there are no ANBU ninjas skilled in Earth Release. I will send someone to investigate later."
Aren't you the ninja hero who is proficient in the five elemental ninjutsu?
Kakashi thought to himself, holding down Sasuke, whose face was full of anger, without saying a word.
He had already sensed the subtle tension in the atmosphere.
The Hokage seems to have something he can't say about.
Danzo, expressionless, said, "Since there is no evidence, it means that Uchiha Sasuke killed a Root ninja and framed the Hokage's advisor. How should this be punished?"
Killing a fellow villager is a serious crime, which can be directly classified as treason.
He wanted to kill Sasuke once and for all.
"The identities of the five bodies cannot be identified, and there is no evidence to support them."
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned deeply.
He didn't want to be led by the nose by Danzo, and considering Itachi's dedication and sacrifice for Konoha, he didn't want to kill Sasuke.
The fingers hidden beneath the imperial robes twitched slightly.
An ANBU member, understanding the situation, approached and said, "We've discovered new clues. On one of the not-completely-damaged corpses, we found a broken shuriken. The style is different from Konoha's; it must be from a foreign ninja."
"Different types of shuriken?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi revealed an expression of understanding and deduced, "During the Chunin Exams, there are many ninjas from other villages, and it's inevitable that some of them might have ulterior motives and try to gather information about Konoha. Tell everyone to strengthen their vigilance and prevent such things from happening again."
The explanation is riddled with flaws.
Not to mention, those ninjas from other villages all stayed in the Konoha's reception hall for foreign guests, and there were ANBU patrols at all times.
It's clearly a broken ninja sword, but it's being portrayed as a shuriken from another village.
Kakashi, an elite ninja who graduated first in his class from the Konoha Ninja Academy, remained silent.
Because this demonstrates the Hokage's attitude.
This matter must be suppressed.
at this time,
Suddenly, the Anbu sensed a large amount of chakra energy outside the Death Forest and rushed over at an extremely fast speed.
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly, sensing the familiar chakra, and said, "It's nothing, they're just ninjas from the village. They probably came after hearing the commotion in the Forest of Death."
Half a minute later,
Several groups of ninjas arrived one after another, including the burly and robust Akimichi clan, and the Hyuga clan led by Hyuga Hiashi...
Almost every well-known family in Konoha rushed over.
The number of them was enormous, almost filling up all the surrounding open space.
"what happened?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt something was off. Even if he had noticed the situation in the Forest of Death, there shouldn't have been so many people coming.
He sensed a conspiracy.
Wearing loose clothing suitable for practicing Gentle Fist, Hyuga Hiashi bowed respectfully and said, "Reporting to the Hokage, our clan received news that Iwagakure had launched an attack, so we rushed here."
The veins around his eyes bulged, and after scanning the area, his expression turned strange.
Judging from the situation at the scene, it doesn't seem like an attack by Iwagakure, but rather that their Hokage advisor had been in a fierce battle with someone.
Danzo turned his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over them, his face icy cold.
Interspersed with warnings.
Hiashi Hyuga quickly lowered his head and closed his Byakugan.
In that instant, he sensed a familiar yet unfamiliar chakra aura in the Hokage advisor's right eye.
Sharingan.
The Uchiha clan had been wiped out, and their bloodline limit had long been lost in the ninja world, leaving only the defector Itachi and the sole heir Sasuke.
Even if the clan wasn't wiped out, I've never heard of the Shimura family having Uchiha blood.
Cold sweat trickled down his temples.
The seal loosened after the battle, making it impossible for Danzo to suppress the Sharingan's aura, which led to the Byakugan discovering the clues.
Hyuga Hiashi felt a chill run down his spine.
The deaths of the Uchiha clan were already suspicious, and the ninja clans had many different opinions, but none of them had any conclusive evidence.
The Sharingan of the Hokage's advisor is causing this matter to begin to lean towards the most dangerous conclusion.
Beside him, Akimichi Choza glanced at Hyuga Hiashi, who was covered in sweat, and asked with some curiosity, "Hiashi, are you feeling unwell?"
Hiashi Hyuga shook his head. Seeing that the Hokage advisor had already looked away, he breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "It's alright, the Byakugan took too much energy."
Choza Akimichi is even stranger.
Your Byakugan isn't the Sharingan, and you only activated it when you entered the Forest of Death, so why is it so energy-consuming?
At the end of the crowd,
Neji quietly opened his backpack compartment, confirmed that the ANBU outfit he had just used for disguise was lying inside, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
to be frank,
With their superior ability to ward off evil, many secrets within the village are difficult to conceal.
After killing Hyuga, he began planning his escape route from Konoha, and the Forest of Death was one of his options.
However, during their reconnaissance, they discovered the Root Guards and then uncovered a secret base for human experimentation.
When it was discovered that Sasuke had gone to the Forest of Death, and then the black flames that burned the forest erupted, it was guessed that Sasuke had probably clashed with the Root ninjas.
Neji had planned this operation.
They disguised themselves as spies and spread false information about an attack by enemy ninjas, luring all the ninja clans to the Forest of Death.
Only by muddying the waters can one become safer.
Who knows, they might even be able to exact revenge while escaping Konoha.
"who is it?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was grim.
The enemy ninja attack was just a pretext to save face for himself and Danzo. It had only been said for two minutes. How did these ninja clans receive the news?
"Lord Hokage, Shimura Danzo is conducting human experiments on Konoha ninjas, a crime that cannot be forgiven. I accidentally discovered his secret and am about to be killed to silence me. I beg you, Lord Hokage, to save me!"
Sasuke suddenly stood up and said in a loud voice.
Climb along the pole.
Although it's unclear why these ninja clans suddenly appeared after receiving false information, it was definitely a golden opportunity for them.
Although he felt hatred after learning the truth, he knew that it would be absolutely foolish for him to say that he wanted to avenge the Uchiha clan while he was in Konoha. He would only be imprisoned as a rogue ninja.
It would be better to take down Shimura Danzo first.
"shut up!"
Danzo's face finally showed a hint of panic, and he angrily said, "Nonsense! As the Hokage's advisor, how could I possibly do anything to harm Konoha ninjas?"
Glancing around out of the corner of my eye,
All the prominent ninja clan leaders and elite ninjas of Konoha were present. If the secret of human experimentation were to be exposed...
Very serious consequences.
Chapter 92 Pulling the skin of a tiger
"Did you hear what Uchiha brats said? Human experimentation?"
"Ever since Orochimaru's defection, human experimentation has been a taboo in the village. Did Lord Danzo knowingly violate this rule?"
"I support human experimentation. How can we research ninjutsu without human experimentation? Konoha's strength and prosperity are based on its powerful strength, but using fellow village ninjas for experiments, isn't that fake?"
After the words were spoken,
The entire Death Forest fell silent, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind and the heavy breathing of the arriving ninjas.
Immediately, it was as if a pot had exploded, and people looked at Shimura Danzo with eyes full of shock.
Most ninjas showed disgust and rejection towards human experimentation, especially the Hyuga clan, which possessed bloodline limits.
These people are often the targets of covetousness.
They were constantly being ambushed by enemy ninjas and captured for experiments, so when they heard about human experimentation, they looked at Danzo with disgust and suspicion.
Another group of ninjas supported human experimentation.
They were all battle maniacs who didn't care about interpersonal relationships; their pursuit of power and ninjutsu took precedence.
However, supporting human experimentation does not mean supporting human experimentation on ninjas from the same village.
Even the most battle maniac wouldn't want to be backstabbed by a fellow villager during a fight, let alone become a subject of human experimentation by that villager.
For a time,
The atmosphere was strangely awkward, but they were able to maintain a calm facade because Hiruzen Sarutobi was present.
"Didn't we say that there is currently no evidence to prove that Danzo Shimura was conducting human experiments?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was not good.
However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he still managed to force a smile and looked kindly at Uchiha Sasuke.
He was deeply dissatisfied that he was being subtly coerced by others while serving as Hokage.
really,
Even brothers can differ. There are very few Uchiha who can truly understand the Will of Fire. Sasuke, like most Uchiha, had no regard for the stability of the village.
He took a deep breath and changed the subject, saying, "Everyone, although there are ninjas from other villages lurking in the Forest of Death, I did not send any ANBU to inform you. I suspect this is all a conspiracy against the Hokage's advisor, trying to plunge our Konoha into chaos. You must not fall for it."
