In any case, the cruel truth about Danzo Shimura's human experimentation cannot be revealed in public.
With the Chunin Exams about to begin and the village filled with ninjas from other villages, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't imagine the turmoil that would ensue if he revealed the truth now.
Too many people, too many opinions.
Especially since everyone present was an elite member of the ninja clan, it was impossible to force everyone to shut up.
If the news were to leak, it would be a particularly heavy blow to Konoha's reputation.
It could even trigger unrest.
"I knew those ninjas from other villages had ulterior motives; they actually wanted to harm Lord Danzo!"
"It must have been premeditated for a long time. They actually infiltrated the Root. Did they want to gather intelligence on Konoha, or assassinate the Hokage's advisor?"
"They probably harbored evil intentions towards the Uchiha, but they didn't expect the newly graduated genin to be so powerful, which is why they exposed themselves..."
The older ninja elites remained skeptical.
However, the younger ninjas and civilian ninjas, upon hearing the Hokage's confident explanation, showed expressions of "I see."
The Hokage's authority is certainly important.
In fact, although Danzo had done many evil deeds, most of them were not exposed to young and civilian ninjas, so he has always maintained a serious and hawkish image.
As for the ninja elites... they kept their eyes down and their noses closed, their minds closed.
No one wants to openly contradict the Hokage.
"I have proof!"
Sasuke moved with lightning speed, pulling a small metal box, about the size of his palm, from his backpack without any hesitation.
After the metal box landed, it quickly emitted the sound of film reel spinning.
This is one of the countless items dropped when hunting polluted monsters in the game; it's a technological product that can capture and record scenes and recreate them in scale.
It is generally used for investigation and solving cases.
hum.
A faint beam of light emanated from the metal box, instantly enveloping the surroundings and altering the landscape of the forest.
The destroyed underground laboratory appeared before all the ninjas.
"Is it an illusion?"
"Without chakra fluctuations, these walls and ceilings are fake; they can only be observed, not touched."
"Is this the item from the reincarnation game? It's amazing."
The ninjas all showed expressions of curiosity.
Danzo's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected Sasuke to have a backup plan.
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi's smile faltered as he forced a smile and said, "Sasuke, can we leave it at that?"
He was already being lenient by referring to the Root ninja who was killed as the attacker.
Five Root ninjas died, and Hokage advisor Danzo was also injured... Isn't that enough?
Sasuke, you've really disappointed me!
"Lord Hokage, it doesn't matter that Danzo threatened me, but I don't want the Konoha ninjas to be shrouded in shadow. I want to protect the village!"
Sasuke suppressed his nausea and spoke those words with a firm gaze.
Using someone else's name to make a big deal out of nothing.
It was a technique he learned from some ordinary players in the game.
These civilians are different from ninjas; they will do anything to survive, and these methods are rarely seen in most ninjas. Surprisingly, they are surprisingly effective.
Hearing this,
Not only Hiruzen Sarutobi, but even the clan leaders of various ninja clans and ordinary ninjas were stunned.
Countless eyes fell on the Uchiha clan's fan-shaped emblem on the back of Sasuke's clothes.
When did the Uchiha start talking about the Will of Fire?
Just as they were staring at Sasuke with strange looks, a gasp drew everyone's attention.
"It's...the first generation!"
Neji's eyes widened in terror.
Once everyone's attention was drawn to him, his finger trembled slightly as he pointed to a large pile of shadows discarded in the corner of the wall.
The already rotten and mangled corpse,
Mixed with rotten wood, it emitted a putrid smell, and strange human faces appeared on some of the deformed flesh.
Very familiar with it.
After all, the Konoha ninjas can see the Hokage Rock every day when they look up, and everyone is familiar with the sculpted face of the First Hokage.
"Someone actually researched the First Hokage's Wood Release technique?"
"It really was human experimentation, and there were even research notes and markings at the root..."
Everyone looked at Shimura Danzo with strange eyes.
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless, pondering how to respond.
The faces of the clan leaders were grim.
Suspicion and speculation without evidence are not the same as the facts before our eyes.
Even if there was previous dissatisfaction with the Hokage advisor and some vague rumors about his dark deeds, the mindset is completely different from tearing off the veil and putting the bloody truth in front of one's eyes.
Suppressed whispers arose.
this moment,
People are restless.
Even the Ino-Shika-Cho clan leaders, who were close to the Hokage, silently took two steps back and scrutinized the Hokage and his advisors with a critical eye.
Chapter 93 Maintaining the Reputation of the Reincarnation Game
That's the God of Ninjas!
The First Hokage, the founder of Konoha Village, and together with Madara Uchiha, ended the chaotic era. He is an absolutely revered figure among the Konoha ninja.
They were actually used for human experiments... If this gets out, Konoha will become a laughing stock.
The First Hokage was dismembered; who still believes in the Will of Fire?
"A frame-up! This is a blatant frame-up! You evil Uchiha brat, I will..."
Danzo's eyes widened, and even with his deepest composure, he was extremely flustered at this moment.
He reached out and gripped the kunai tightly, its surface gleaming with a sharp, cold light.
They originally intended to destroy the metal box swiftly, but were stopped by several figures.
Instantaneous body technique.
The Hyuga clan leader, with veins bulging at the corners of his eyes, adopted the starting stance of Gentle Fist, but failed to stop the kunai.
Because ahead of them was the Oil Maiden Chieftain, wearing black sunglasses and carrying a huge jar on her back. Her arms were outstretched, and countless parasitic insects stretched forward along her outstretched fingers, firmly enveloping the kunai.
"Lord Danzo, since it's a frame-up, we must investigate this matter thoroughly. This item cannot be destroyed."
With her body concealed by a hooded trench coat, Aburame Shiki, who had always been reluctant to get involved in the complicated relationship between the ninja clan and the Hokage, spoke up.
All the ninjas watched this scene in astonishment.
Normally, even when the Hokage and the ninja clans were fighting tooth and nail for power, the Aburame clan would never intervene or take sides.
Compared to complex interpersonal relationships, the Aburame clan prefers to cultivate strange insects, causing everyone to subconsciously ignore this ninja clan.
But actually,
The Aburame clan's foundation and strength rank among the top in the entire Hidden Leaf Village. Although there are no particularly powerful clan members, their insect manipulation techniques give most of the Aburame clan members considerable combat power.
Danzo's face was ashen as he asked, "Chief Aburame, do you understand what you're doing?"
Aburame Shiki replied calmly, "Of course I understand. We're doing this to protect Konoha."
If it sounds familiar,
Danzo showed no reaction whatsoever; all he felt was anger at being stabbed.
But Shiki Aburame remembered very clearly that these were the words Danzo said when he forcibly took Tsuru away.
Originally, it was supposed to be his son Shino who was taken away. To protect Shino, Torune agreed to Danzo's request. Afterwards, Shino kept pleading with the Hokage, but to no avail.
Previously, Shiki Aburame, who had discerned the relationship between the Hokage and Danzo, knew that Danzo alone could not have taken Tottori away so easily; with the Hokage as a powerful figure behind him, he was simply unshakeable.
But now that the butcher's knife is in his hand, if he continues to remain silent, he might as well be devoured by the worms inside his body.
Even if it means facing retribution from the Hokage, Danzo Shimura must be punished as he deserves.
"Hiashi, even you..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a heavy weight in his heart, his eyes filled with disappointment.
He understood that Danzo's crimes were unforgivable. Couldn't he wait until the Chunin Exams were over and the ninjas from other villages had left?
As the Hokage, I will definitely give them an explanation when the time comes.
But of all times, at a time like this... they completely disregard the village!
Especially the Hyuga clan leader,
He was willing to endure humiliation and sacrifice his younger brother Hizashi for Konoha back then, but now he is subtly standing on the opposite side of his own Hokage.
He was not protecting Danzo, but rather protecting Konoha.
Under pressure from the ninja clan,
Hiruzen Sarutobi's powerful chakra aura swayed. His face, which had been aged but vigorous, suddenly seemed to have lost all its energy.
