Continue to support Danzo, or compromise?
If it were the young Hiruzen Sarutobi, with his mastery of the Five Elements ninjutsu to the extreme, his Enma summoning beast, his immense chakra, the ability to train three renowned Kage-level disciples, and the leadership of Konoha to victory in two Shinobi World Wars...
Even when facing the entire ninja clan, he could make a firm decision and put an end to this farce with his own will.
but now,
Hiruzen Sarutobi had to admit his old age. Although his gradually hunched body could still barely maintain his fighting ability, the spirit he had in his youth had long been worn down by time.
Tsunade left without explanation.
Jiraiya secretly left the village, claiming he was searching for the chosen one.
Orochimaru defected after conducting human experiments.
His eldest son died in battle, and his younger son, Asma, became estranged and went against his wishes.
If Danzo Shimura, who controlled the Anbu and shielded the Hokage from the dark side, were to fall from power, his prestige as Hokage would plummet.
After thinking for a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi gritted his teeth and said, "Although Danzo has always managed Root, all his affairs are monitored by the Anbu. I have not found any reports related to human experimentation, so Danzo can be ruled out as a suspect."
After careful consideration, he decided to protect Danzo.
Sasuke suddenly spoke up: "Does the Hokage know about everything that happened in Root?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Sasuke and said with certainty, "As the Hokage, I knew everything, which is why I dare to believe that Danzo wouldn't do such a thing..."
The talking stopped abruptly.
A glass bottle came into view, with a nearly rotting eyeball floating inside.
Alluring red pupils, deep black magatama.
Sharingan.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart skipped a beat, and his gaze returned to Sasuke's face, as if he saw a hint of a triumphant smile.
He sensed something was wrong, but before he could move, Sasuke suddenly vanished from the spot.
The next moment,
He squeezed out all the blue energy in his body, unleashing a final burst of black flames, and slashed at Danzo at an extremely fast speed.
Danzo drew his kunai and calmly blocked the falling blade, sneering, "In front of everyone, you dare to attack me?"
Sasuke's lips curled up.
Danzo frowned, and the kunai struck the blade, making a crisp sound.
The black flames that had been clinging to the blade suddenly went out, and then burst into flames all over his right arm.
The sleeves were burned to ashes, and the bandages burst open.
"Lightning Release: Eight Thunder Gods!"
Blood welled up in his eyes and slid down his cheeks.
The three tomoe spun wildly, condensing into a brand new pattern. The eight petals extending from the pupils pointed outwards like sharp sword blades. Instead of the mysterious and alluring charm of a typical kaleidoscope, it was filled with a chilling aura.
A sudden crackling sound of thunder rang out as black and red lightning struck the sealing artifact, instantly shattering the heavy object.
As the sealing device exploded, the right arm, imbued with the aura of Wood Release chakra, and the grotesque eyeballs that sent chills down everyone's spines, were exposed to everyone's view.
Sasuke forced himself to sit up and said loudly, "Hokage, since you know everything, I would like to ask, was it you who gave the order for Danzo to join forces with the rogue ninja Itachi Uchiha to massacre the Uchiha clan?"
The atmosphere suddenly plummeted to freezing point.
Everyone stared in shock at Danzo's right arm, and no one spoke.
Even if they could clearly see that Uchiha Sasuke had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, it was not as eye-catching as Danzo's right arm in their eyes.
Even if the ninja clans suspected something about the Uchiha clan massacre, they could pretend not to know.
However, no evidence should be exposed. Once exposed, it would be like tearing down the fig leaf. If the ninja clans pretend to be stupid under the watchful eyes of the public, it would mean admitting defeat and giving in.
At that time, Danzo's underhanded methods will dare to steal their blood, just like they did when they destroyed the Uchiha.
This is the bottom line!
This time, things have really blown up... putting the Third Hokage, who had just spoken out, in a very difficult position.
You claim to know everything about Root, so how do you explain the Uchiha clan massacre and the Sharingan on Danzo's arm?
The halo surrounding the Hokage
It was torn to pieces by Sasuke Uchiha, the last surviving member of the Uchiha clan, using a method akin to a rabbit fighting an eagle!
How to do?
Hiruzen Sarutobi was devastated, never expecting such a turn of events. Looking around, he still refused to give up and said, "Clan leaders, there is still no conclusive evidence. Perhaps the Sharingan is a product that Danzo obtained from the Samsara Game? We cannot make any hasty conclusions."
"There are players in my clan with three-tomoe Sharingan eyes, which are very expensive. They have ten of them embedded in their arms? Even Kakashi Hatake's Sharingan chakra can't withstand it. If he wants to maintain chakra balance, he needs Uchiha bloodline... Are the salaries of Hokage advisors that high?"
Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's excuse, Danzo quickly seized the opportunity, saying, "I am still the head of the Shimura family, isn't that enough?"
"not enough!"
"Advisor Danzo, we need an explanation!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, now tied to Danzo, was not only helping Danzo but also salvaging his own prestige. He spoke up, "Perhaps the Sharingan obtained from the Rinnegan is a low-quality version, one that can be controlled without Uchiha blood..."
"Excuse me, Mr. Hokage, I need to interrupt you."
A voice suddenly sounded.
Without any warning, Fang Yi suddenly appeared in the Forest of Death, still wearing his usual noble robes. With a gentle smile on his overly youthful face, he said, "The items produced by the Samsara Game are absolutely real, without any falsehoods, and their effects are not compromised. Although I have no intention of interfering with Konoha's internal affairs, the reputation of the Samsara Game cannot be tarnished."
He held an iron chain in his hand, and a lovable jackal followed behind him.
Looking at the patterns in Sasuke's eyes with some surprise, he smiled and said, "A kaleidoscope different from destiny. It seems that Mr. [Revenge Hawk] has found a new path through the Reincarnation Game."
The game nickname was suddenly brought up.
Even Sasuke, who was obsessed with revenge, felt a strange sense of shame, which made him remain silent.
"The game merchant, Fang Yi?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes, and out of his ninja instincts, he quickly sized up the person who had suddenly appeared out of his control.
This was the first time he had met this mysterious man who had sparked a gaming craze in the ninja world.
The fleeting glimpse through the telescope was not accurate.
But even after seeing it with his own eyes, he still found nothing.
Even if they possess special immortal energy, the spirit beasts of the three legendary holy lands will still emit faint energy fluctuations.
Even the ninja who became a player, Hiruzen Sarutobi, after careful observation, also exhibited various strange energy fluctuations.
The game merchant in front of them seemed like an ordinary person, without any power whatsoever.
But this thought only lasted for a moment.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was not stupid and would never treat the other party as an ordinary nobleman just because of this.
The fact that the other party dared to show up directly suggests that they possess the strength to protect themselves, and they are no weaker than Danzo or even themselves.
"Yes, it's me."
Fang Yi nodded in agreement, loosened the rope in his hands, and said, "It's not just to protect the reputation of the Samsara Game; I came here because I was just attacked by Konoha ninjas."
"The attacker took a secret drug that drained his life force. In his final moments, he was willing to give up everything to make a deal with me."
The adorable jackal darted towards Shimura Danzo.
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked surprised and asked in confusion, "A Konoha ninja tried to assassinate you?"
He suspected the game company was causing trouble, since he had clearly instructed all the registered ninjas to be meticulous...
Suddenly,
He quickly turned his head and looked at Shimura Danzo, whose face was extremely pale, not far away.
Chapter 94 The Methods of Game Merchants
The adorable jackal charged and pounced on Shimura Danzo.
As they get closer,
The jackal's body swelled up, its muscles bulged, its skin was torn open, revealing scarlet flesh and fascia, and in the blink of an eye it transformed into a gigantic being that resembled a spirit beast.
After the transformation, the jackal's face actually appeared.
Roar.
Danzo Shimura's expression changed drastically. He quickly formed hand seals and released a high-pressure wind-style ninjutsu that sliced the jackal's body into pieces like sharp blades.
Blood was everywhere, soaking his entire body.
“Mr. Fang Yi, it is not proper for a guest to attack the Hokage advisor without cause.”
After seeing the jackal cut to pieces and Danzo unharmed, Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a slight sigh of relief and stared at Fang Yi with a serious expression.
In any case,
Danzo is still a Hokage advisor, and Fang Yi, as an outsider, has made a move against the Hokage advisor. We can't just turn a blind eye to that.
This is a provocation against Konoha.
Fang Yi's smile remained unchanged, seemingly unaware that he was being targeted by the strongest Hokage, and even less aware that he was surrounded by the clan leaders of Konoha Village and the most outstanding ninjas in the ninja world.
Despite the unfavorable situation on the ground for Danzo, it is Konoha's internal affair.
If an emergency occurs, everyone on site will definitely stand together against the external threat.
"I'm sorry, perhaps I didn't explain myself clearly enough."
Sensing the tense atmosphere and the aura emanating from Hiruzen Sarutobi, Fang Yi's expression remained unchanged as he smiled and said, "It wasn't me who attacked him, but you Konoha ninjas."
"Absurd, it was clearly you who released that one..."
A ninja clan leader frowned, and just as he stretched out his finger, he discovered that the broken jackal corpse was gradually transforming into the shape of a ninja.
His hair and beard were all white, and his skin was wrinkled.
