Naruto: Starting with the Ten Kage Techniques, Sukuna Jinchuriki

Chapter 103 The Sharingan Exposed, Danzo Steals the Bloodline Limit?

The sudden, unexpected slash, accompanied by a wailing sound that tore through the air, shot toward Danzo.

A sense of absurdity and astonishment welled up inside me.

Danzo didn't even have time to react.

Because he was the Hokage's assistant, and he was standing in the Hokage's office.

He didn't believe anyone would dare to attack him in front of the Hokage.

But Fu Heiyao made his move anyway.

"How dare he?" Danzo screamed inwardly.

But the fierce strikes did not deviate from his will.

The brief moment of distraction and bewilderment was especially fatal under the accelerated strikes of Fu Heiyao.

However, Fukuko had no idea that Danzo, a Kage-level ninja, would make such a basic mistake.

In order to ensure a successful hit, Fukuko used his Sharingan to unleash a genjutsu to forcefully control Danzo.

The instantaneous illusion rendered Danzo unable to move.

Only when the slash was unavoidable did Danzo realize that his technique was ineffective against Fushiko.

Fushiko's actions were completely beyond Danzo's expectations.

He was like a reckless madman, doing whatever he pleased, without restraint.

When he tries to restrain Fu Heiyao through some kind of authority, Fu Heiyao will mercilessly activate the crushing mode.

The slash cut through flesh and blood, causing the flesh to churn to both sides and splatter blood.

The slashes seemed to move nimbly like a nimble weasel across Danzo's face.

Blood gushed out from the bursting streaks, and the bandages covering the eyebrows and eyes were shredded into pieces the instant the slash arrived.

However, the slash seemed to lack precision; it passed through Danzo's chakra defenses but did not penetrate deep into his muscles.

Even Danzo's face wasn't seriously injured.

After realizing that Fushiko had attacked Danzo, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were initially shocked, but then felt extremely angry, followed by fear.

My emotions were like a rollercoaster, but in the end, they were fixed on terror.

Because the Fukuyo before them was not a simple ninja; he was a storm comparable to a tailed beast. Once he went berserk, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi snapped to attention the moment he struck Danzo with his slash, his whole body jolting.

Seeing that the slash had only scratched Danzo's face and that he was unharmed, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Unlike others, his eyes were the most complex.

Disappointment at Danzo's repeated provocations, confusion at Fushiko's ruthless attack, and a hint of worry.

There was even a hint of guilt in her voice.

He seemed to realize the source of Fu Heiyao's emotional change when he first entered the room.

Yes, Fushiko Kuroyo possesses the same malice perception as Mito-sama.

The malice was invisible to ordinary people, but it was observable to Fushiko and Lady Mito.

"Hiruzen, you saw that!" Danzo, no longer caring about his injuries, pointed at Fushiko, who was still acting as if nothing had happened, his eyes filled with rage.

But hidden beneath the rage was also ecstasy.

Given Kuroyo's reputation and strength, as well as Hiruzen's favoritism towards him, Danzo knew that he could not shake him no matter what.

He didn't know why Fu Heiyao would be so foolish as to openly attack him, giving him such a perfect excuse.

However, Danzo quickly attributed it to the inherent evil nature of the Uchiha clan.

"You all saw that, didn't you? This is the inherently evil Uchiha clan, daring to openly attack the Hokage's assistant!"

Danzang's tone suddenly rose.

However, his voice did not garner support from Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

On the contrary, their voices carried a hint of disbelief.

"Danzo, your eyes!" Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado stared wide-eyed at Danzo.

The eye that had been crippled by severe injuries beneath the bandages was now completely intact, with half of its scarlet eye barely visible beneath the bloodied eyelid.

Above the blood-red eyes, one could vaguely see the dark magatama.

The moment that Sharingan appeared, the entire place fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Even Fu Heiyao's "outrageous" behavior takes a backseat.

"Oh no!" Danzo realized something was wrong and tried to cover it up, but it was too late.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared intently at Danzo's scarlet eyes.

Danzo, who hated the Uchiha clan the most, had actually been hiding a Sharingan all along.

This is so unexpected.

Even Koharu and the others who had switched dorm rooms were surprised.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had already guessed whose Sharingan it was!

"Danzo, how dare you!" Hiruzen Sarutobi gritted his teeth, his face tense, as if he was enduring something.

That's Jing, your best friend who risked her life to save you!

Danzo didn't look at Hiruzen Sarutobi; his gaze was fixed on Fukuko, the murderer, his eyes bloodshot.

Of course, he also had doubts in his heart.

How did Fu Heiyao know that his other eye was a Sharingan, even though he had used a sealing technique?

But none of that matters now. His darkest secret has been exposed, and right in front of Hiruzen.

"Danzo, go explain to those Uchiha if you have anything to say."

Fu Heiyao didn't explain, he just grinned.

"You dare to murder your fellow Uchiha clan member and steal his Sharingan?!"

Although it's a bit of a pity that we can't start killing him right now, Fu Heiyao can ensure that he can never recover in this lifetime.

Based solely on this stolen Sharingan.

The Sharingan, the lifeblood of the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan at this stage is not the same Uchiha clan that will retreat again and again in the future.

Although the legacy of the Warring States period has gradually faded, not all of the older generation of ninjas have died out.

Anyone who dares to steal the Sharingan will be hunted down by the entire Uchiha clan.

Since Danzo wants to play by the rules, let him and the Uchiha fight it out.

As for whether the Uchiha clan will back down and let the matter rest.

Impossible.

No bloodline family would let their bloodline stolen by the village's higher-ups go unpunished.

This isn't a question of whether it's tolerable; it's a question of bottom line.

Upon realizing this possibility, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado's expressions changed drastically.

To be able to sit in this position, one must have some political acumen.

Given Fukuyo's current immense prestige and Susanoo's legitimacy within the Uchiha clan, a single call from him could deliver a devastating blow to Danzo.

Even without a reason, that group of Uchiha might still try to take down Danzo, let alone something as fundamental as the Sharingan.

Danzo's eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Fukuyo with eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

"Don't look at me like that, Danzo's assistant," said Fukuko. "If you dare to do it, you should dare to admit it."

"I'm not denying it, but it's not what you think. This was given to me by my close friend Uchiha Kagami before he died."

Danzo glanced around and saw the indifferent Hiruzen Sarutobi. His heart skipped a beat, but he quickly calmed down.

"Fukuko, Uchiha Kagami was our teammate back then, and it's common knowledge that he had a good relationship with Danzo," said Koharu Utatane.

The two advisors have realized the danger of the situation.

This attempt to "restrain" and intimidate Fu Heiyao has spiraled out of control, heading in a direction beyond their grasp.

They might even be dragged down with them, but even so, they cannot abandon Danzo.

Because the three of them were one entity, and due to Hiruzen Sarutobi's insufficient prestige, the four of them could only watch over each other.

Now, Hiruzen Sarutobi has consolidated his position through this war, but they cannot do the same.

Without Danzo, their voice would be impacted and diminished.

"Yes, you're still young, it's normal that you don't know about us." Mitokado Homura also pressed, "Back then, the five of us were the disciples of the Second Hokage, brothers who depended on each other for life."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi fell silent, sitting down somewhat dejectedly, relighting his pipe, and silently taking puff after puff.

On one side were the young men he had the most faith in, who had just won a victory for the village; on the other side were his closest friends.

The complex relationships were like a tangled ball of yarn, leaving even the Hokage, who was recently known for his decisiveness, feeling at a loss.

Fu Heiyao disagreed and continued, "Let's set aside for now whether this eye was obtained by you after killing its original owner."

"With Danzo's assistance, one of your eyes is a Sharingan, but the Uchiha clan never knew that."

How are you going to explain this?

"Could it be that Danzo, as a high-ranking official, knowingly broke the law and deliberately concealed the truth from the Uchiha?"

Upon hearing this, Danzo was speechless.

No matter how much he tries to argue, this point is undeniable.

Some things seem insignificant on the scale, but once weighed, they can feel incredibly heavy.

Moreover, in the ninja world, strength ultimately matters.

Without Fukuyo, even if Danzo's affair were exposed, the Uchiha clan couldn't do anything to him.

Because the Uchiha clan is currently fragmented, internal factions within the Uchiha clan that lack leaders will only hold them back.

The two factions are pulling in opposite directions, and in the end, Danzo might be able to get away with it by simply returning the Sharingan, being suspended from his post, and lying low for a while.

In secret, Danzo remained the Hokage who led Root.

But things changed after Fukuko demonstrated his ability to capture a demigod head-on and showed his intention to target Danzo.

Danzo was well aware that once Fushikokuyo unleashed the devastating power of Amegakure...

The Uchiha clan, who revered power and the Sharingan, would never have a second voice.

The entire Uchiha clan united as one, putting immense pressure on him.

Danzo panicked slightly, but remained calm on the surface and said in a deep voice, "I do not believe that it is wrong to inherit the will of my dear friend."

He was well aware of the seriousness of the matter; if things went wrong, he might lose his position as an assistant.

"Jonin Fushiguro, the bigger picture is at stake. Danzo cannot be harmed; Root still needs him to lead." Mitokado Homura's expression was grave.

"Fukuyo, we're still at war. Is it really necessary to pursue this little matter for the sake of Konoha?" Koharu Utatane tried to morally blackmail Fukuyo.

However, Fu Heiyao doesn't eat any of these.

"A trivial matter?" Fu Heiyou glanced at Koharu Utatane, his scarlet eyes carrying a suffocating sense of oppression.

"You mean the higher-ups can steal the bloodline abilities of bloodline families at will?"

"That's not what I meant!" Koharu's face turned deathly pale instantly.

Once this charge and pretext are firmly established against him, he will likely become an instant pariah during this special period, hated by everyone.

"Koharu, Kamen Rin, you two go out first!" Hiruzen Sarutobi channeled his chakra, his voice carrying a sharp decisiveness.

"Hiruzen, Danzo is still our friend. Think about it carefully." Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado glanced at Danzo, then at Hiruzen Sarutobi, whose face was ashen, and sighed.

After the two left, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his cigarette, remained silent for a long time, and then made his final decision.

"Danzo, in the name of the Hokage, I hereby give you three days to return Kagami's Sharingan to the Uchiha clan and to revoke your position as Hokage's assistant. From this day forward, you are no longer the Hokage's assistant!"

When Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke his first words, Danzo thought he was saved, but what followed made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his hands and feet turning ice cold.

"Hiruzen, you'll regret this!" Danzo said in a low voice, staring intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi, unable to believe that this was an order he had given.

Without the Hokage's assistance, how can his Root organization develop?

Without roots, how can Konoha defend against the infiltration of other villages?

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi's reaction this time was even more intense.

"go out!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his hand on the table, causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the desk.

Danzo was taken aback when he saw the look of disappointment and anger in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

He had never seen Hiruzen's eyes so cold, eyes full of ruthlessness and decisiveness.

"I see."

Before leaving, Danzo glared resentfully at Fushiko.

Logically speaking, Danzo shouldn't have done something so irrational, yet he's now even been removed from his position as Hokage's assistant.

All of this is because of Fu Heiyao!

There is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides.

"Danzo, how ugly you are."

Faced with Danzo's no longer concealed hostility, Fushiko said with a mocking tone and unwavering determination, "As long as I'm here, you'll never be able to stand on the stage."

"I'll make you hide like a rat underground, where no one can see you."

Upon hearing this, Danzo clenched his fists tightly, and a trickle of blood flowed from his fingertips.

With the bloodstains on his face and the crimson Sharingan behind his half-cut eyelids, he looked like a vengeful demon.

A moment later, the office door was slammed shut.

"I will approve Kushina's application to leave the village." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, his once upright back now somewhat hunched.

"Can we stop here?"

His words carried a hint of pleading: "Just pretend none of this happened."

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want Danzo to lose power, not only because of the affection and bond in his heart, but also because of Root.

The root of the operation was managed by Danzo, who swallowed up a lot of the village's funds over the years and played a significant role in this war.

If an accident occurs at this point in time, it will cause a chain reaction like an avalanche.

"That's not enough." Fu Heiyao shook his head. "I'll tell the Uchiha about this."

"You know Danzo's personality best. Even if I don't pursue the matter, he will definitely hold a grudge against me."

Fu Heiyao didn't even want to act anymore and said directly.

"Do you still care about him?" Hiruzen Sarutobi's fingers trembled slightly.

"He's irrelevant to me."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression softened slightly, but what Fukuyo said next gave him a headache.

"But that doesn't mean I'll let him provoke me again and again," Fu Heiyao said.

"Don't go too far. Even if you disagree, stay within the rules. You should know the village's rules."

"I know."

For some reason, when Fukuyo said those words, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that even if Fukuko targeted Danzo, it wouldn't affect the normal operation of the Root.

As for Danzo, having done so many foolish things, Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.

After the conversation ended, both of them fell silent. After a long while, just as Fukuyo was about to leave, Hiruzen Sarutobi called out to him.

"I spent every night studying the poem about falling flowers that you asked me to perfect, and I finally finished it some time ago."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a scroll out of the drawer and laughed.

"It's quite a coincidence, that was right when you defeated Hanzo."

"I wanted to surprise you, but it's not too late now."

"Congratulations on becoming a Jonin, Yo."
