Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 511 Lord Danzo, your power is so weak that it's making my performance rather difficult.

The feeling of panic and loss of control...

It spread through Itachi Uchiha's mind.

Everything I'm doing now revolves around what happened after Uchiha Sasuke was subjected to the Kotoamatsukami genjutsu by Shimura Danzo. What if Uchiha Sasuke hadn't been controlled by Kotoamatsukami?

"..."

Itachi Uchiha looked at Sasuke Uchiha with unease.

"Itachi, what's wrong?"

Danzo Shimura frowned and asked another question.

"I'm fine."

Itachi Uchiha shook his head unconsciously.

Do not…

wrong…

None of this matters at all.

Even if the starting point is problematic, as long as the destination is still what you want, the final result should be fine...

"Let's get back to business."

Danzo Shimura glanced at him and said coldly, "Now that your brother's will has been altered, I have agreed to all your demands..."

rustling…

The leaves in the forest are rustling gently.

"Someone's coming."

Uchiha Itachi interrupted Shimura Danzo and looked into the depths of the forest, where an ANBU ninja in a gray uniform was running out quickly.

Just as Itachi Uchiha was about to step back, Danzo Shimura waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, he's my subordinate..."

"Lord Danzo!"

The Root ninja ignored all that and quickly landed beside Shimura Danzo, hurriedly revealing a crucial piece of information: "Lord Koharu and Lord En have rescinded the announcement of Lord Danzo's succession as Hokage, and dispatched the village's Anbu, who are on their way to the Daimyo's castle. The order is to arrest the criminal Shimura Danzo at all costs..."

"!!!"

Danzo Shimura stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"What on earth happened?!"

Danzo Shimura's heart sank as if into an abyss. His expression was grim as he urged repeatedly, "Quickly explain what happened in the village!"

Are you kidding me!

He had just accepted the title of daimyo, so how could he be suddenly dismissed by the village and even sent out secret agents to arrest him and bring him back to the village for trial!

What on earth is going on?!

Just when you're reaching the pinnacle of your life, you suddenly and inexplicably fall to the bottom. No one can accept such a thing!

"Yes."

This Root ninja has a lot of intelligence.

Because he was one of the ninjas on duty at the Hokage Building that day.

"Nara Shikaku, the leader of the village's Jonin squad, reported to the two Hokage advisors that they collectively opposed Danzo's succession as Hokage. They also reported that Danzo colluded with the Akatsuki to attack Konoha, and secretly hired rogue Akatsuki ninja to kill dissidents in the village..."

"asshole!"

Danzo Shimura immediately retorted loudly, a tightness in his chest making him feel as if he were about to vomit blood: "When have I ever done such a thing!"

Who is framing him?

How could he possibly have done such things!

He and the Akatsuki were mortal enemies, so how could he possibly collude with the Akatsuki to attack Konoha, or hire members of the Akatsuki to kill the village's ninjas?

He wanted to kill the village's ninjas...

Why don't we just send someone to do it ourselves?

"But, Lord Danzo..."

The Root ninjas dared not offend Danzo, and could only cautiously continue explaining, "The village's Jonin seem to have some evidence that Akatsuki's S-rank rogue ninjas Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha infiltrated Konoha under Danzo's orders..."

After speaking, the Root ninja's expression became subtle. His gaze shifted slightly, looking at Uchiha Itachi, who was standing not far from Shimura Danzo, wearing a black robe with auspicious clouds.

and…

Lord Danzo…

We're all on the same side...

At this point, let's stop deceiving ourselves, shall we?

"I have never done such a thing!"

Danzo Shimura gripped his cane tightly in anger.

The old man was trembling with anger. He never expected that such a scapegoat would be pinned on him, and that he would even lose his position as Hokage on the verge of death!

no…

We must return to Konoha as soon as possible!

Danzo Shimura didn't have time to explain anything further to Itachi Uchiha. He had to return to Konoha immediately to clear his name to Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado. As long as he could see Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, he could prove his innocence!

"Come back to Konoha with me immediately!"

Danzo Shimura glanced at Sasuke Uchiha, who was suddenly walking towards them, then looked back at Itachi Uchiha: "Sasuke... are you sure there won't be any problems?"

"..."

Itachi Uchiha's expression was somewhat inscrutable.

Of course there are problems…

Even now, Sasuke is the biggest problem!

"Lord Danzo."

Sasuke Uchiha walked towards them step by step, casually saying, "At this time, shouldn't we be in a hurry to go back?"

"..."

Danzo Shimura's heart trembled.

"..."

Itachi Uchiha's heart tightened.

"Don't be afraid."

Sasuke Uchiha noticed the change in his brother's expression, then turned slightly to look at Itachi Uchiha, a strange smile playing on his lips: "Didn't you two both use Kotoamatsukami to modify my will?"

"Could it be..."

"Would I ever hurt you again?"

Uchiha Sasuke chuckled and reached for his ninja sword, but the smile on his face suddenly turned dangerous, causing Shimura Danzo to immediately become more vigilant!

"Protect me!"

Shimura Danzo gave an order to the ninja who came to deliver the message, and immediately reached for the sealing vessel on his arm. Only Izanagi could give him some sense of security!

"yes!"

The ninja who delivered the message immediately drew his ninja sword!

However, Sasuke Uchiha's figure disappeared from his sight in an instant, and before he could react, the blade had already sliced ​​through his throat!

Fresh blood gushed out instantly!

Sasuke Uchiha pushed the corpse to the ground, smiled at the tense-looking Danzo Shimura, and flicked the crimson stains off his ninja sword…

"Uchiha Itachi..."

Danzo Shimura swiftly removed the sealing artifact from his arm, and sternly questioned Itachi Uchiha: "Just how exactly did you modify his will using Kotoamatsukami...?"

"..."

Itachi Uchiha silently gazed at his younger brother, slowly closed his eyes, then abruptly opened them again, speaking slowly and deliberately, "Sasuke, if I'm not mistaken, you've never been affected by Kotoamatsukami's genjutsu, is that right?"

"..."

Danzo Shimura's expression changed in surprise.

What does this mean?

What does it mean that Uchiha Sasuke was never affected by Kotoamatsukami's genjutsu?

"yes…"

Sasuke Uchiha's smile instantly brightened, but his eyes held a chilling intensity that didn't match his smile: "So you finally figured it out, huh, brother..."

Uchiha Sasuke gripped his ninja sword, looking at Shimura Danzo and Uchiha Itachi with a mocking expression: "From the very beginning, I was not affected by Kotoamatsukami's genjutsu..."

"so…"

Itachi Uchiha's expression turned serious as he directly exposed his younger brother: "You pretended to be under Danzo's spell, using the Kotoamatsukami genjutsu, and feigned loyalty to Danzo, thus defecting to his side..."

"That's right."

Sasuke Uchiha nodded in satisfaction.

"!!!"

A look of surprise appeared on Shimura Danzo's face.

no…

Could it be that Kotoamatsukami's illusion was fake?

What does it mean to pretend to be loyal to oneself?

Could it be that Sasuke Uchiha was never actually affected by the Kotoamatsukami that I had placed on him, and was merely pretending to be loyal to me?

How is that possible!

Is Kotoamatsukami's power fake?

If Uchiha Sasuke had been pretending all along, then why would that brat bother to feign loyalty and even do things for him?

Do not…

Wait a minute…

Something seems off!

Danzo Shimura finally realized what was happening. He carefully recalled what Sasuke Uchiha had done since joining Root. That brat had never done anything for him. The only thing he had asked him to do was kill Itachi Uchiha, but he hadn't succeeded. Instead, the brat had used his name to kill many of his own Root members!

This brat…

How dare you deceive yourself!

"Uchiha Sasuke!"

"How dare you deceive this old man..."

Danzo Shimura's anger surged instantly, and his arms trembled slightly. He never imagined that he would be deceived by a twelve-year-old brat!

However, neither Sasuke nor Itachi had time to pay attention to Danzo. Sasuke had a smile that didn't belong to a young man, while Itachi's eyes were serious and his face looked unusually pale.

"After our last meeting, you reported false information to Danzo in my name, making him believe that Akatsuki was going to attack Konoha..."

"That's right."

Sasuke Uchiha smiled and nodded again, even praising Itachi Uchiha: "As expected of you, brother, you reacted so quickly..."

"!!!"

Danzo Shimura's expression darkened further, his eyes widening involuntarily as anger surged again: "The news of Akatsuki's attack on Konoha is also false?"

"I find it hard to imagine either."

Itachi Uchiha shook his head, his gaze still fixed on Sasuke Uchiha: "If my guess is still correct, Danzo's collusion with Akatsuki..."

"I did it too."

Sasuke Uchiha shrugged, feeling an unparalleled sense of pleasure, and chuckled as he said, "Since you've already guessed it, there's no need to keep it a secret any longer..."

"..."

Itachi Uchiha's mood plummeted to rock bottom.

This younger brother…

How could scheming become so terrifying!

"Let me think..."

Sasuke Uchiha raised a finger and rubbed his forehead, mimicking Kagura Akihara's thoughtful expression: "When should I begin?"

to be honest…

Uchiha Sasuke is starting to understand Akihara Kagura more and more.

The feeling of orchestrating a conspiracy to drive someone to the brink of despair, and then revealing one's entire scheme at the very moment of that despair, was so wonderful that even he couldn't help but feel a sense of pleasure...

No wonder…

Kagura Akihara always likes to do this kind of thing.

"If I had to say..."

"Shouldn't we start from the first day I became a ninja?"

Sasuke Uchiha opened his palm and said with a smile, "An Uchiha ghost discovered that I had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, which earned me his favor. He also secretly told me some of the truth about the Uchiha clan massacre..."

Ok.

This was also learned from Akihara Kagura.

When people think they have uncovered a dark past and that they know all the truth, they begin to lay the groundwork for the second act of the conspiracy.

and…

This doesn't count as lying.

In a sense, it was Obito Uchiha in the real world who exposed the truth behind the Uchiha clan's massacre that allowed him to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan...

"..."

Upon hearing the voices of the deceased Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha immediately thought of the mysterious masked man!

Because in the entire ninja world, only that mysterious masked man can be called the ghost of the Uchiha clan, and he has always identified himself as Uchiha Madara!

did not expect…

They've actually set their sights on Uchiha Sasuke!

"Ban Yao?"

Itachi Uchiha took a deep breath and asked the question that concerned him most: "When? When exactly did you awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan...?"

At that time...

Sasuke must be in a lot of pain.

Itachi Uchiha didn't believe that Sasuke Uchiha awakened his Sharingan on the night of the massacre, because he had personally examined his younger brother and found that the pain he felt was only enough to help Sasuke awaken his Sharingan. This led Itachi to believe that his brother's potential was greater than his own.

"Thanks to you, Itachi..."

Sasuke Uchiha's smile held a hint of amusement, yet beneath it lay an undeniable pain, a complex mix of emotions: "You gave me so much, but you also took away so much more. You've always thought my talent surpassed yours, haven't you? I awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan early on; you shouldn't be surprised now..."

These…

These are my true feelings.

If it weren't for his older brother, he might never have awakened the Sharingan, or rather, he might never have wanted to awaken it.

Gain, loss.

Gain again, lose again.

It felt as if I had never owned anything.

"..."

Itachi Uchiha quickly shook his head and whispered, "So, after that Uchiha spirit came into contact with you, you started today's plan?"

"yes…"

"On that day..."

Sasuke Uchiha chuckled lightly, his voice still icy: "I already know the truth about how you colluded with Lord Danzo to destroy the Uchiha clan. Since I want to take revenge on you and Lord Danzo, I naturally need a well-thought-out plan."

"so…"

"I'll just show you a little bit of my power..."

Sasuke Uchiha raised an eyebrow and began to explain his plan: "As long as I display even a little bit of power that the village's higher-ups can't control, they will definitely find a way to deal with me, and the people who are best at dealing with us Uchiha..."

A mocking smile appeared on Sasuke Uchiha's face as he slowly looked at Danzo Shimura beside him: "Naturally, it's Lord Danzo."

"you!"

Danzo Shimura only sensed the humiliation implied in those words!

I'm good at dealing with the Uchiha...

But his fate was toyed with by a brat from the Uchiha clan!

"If we want to lure Lord Danzo into our trap, we need to demonstrate our value to him. The Chunin Exams are the perfect opportunity to showcase that."

Sasuke Uchiha's lips curled into a sneer as he continued, "During the Chunin Exams, I only used a small portion of the Mangekyou Sharingan's abilities, and it already made the village's higher-ups extremely uneasy. Just as I predicted..."

"Lord Danzo..."

"They came to me on their own initiative."

As Sasuke Uchiha watched Danzo Shimura dismantle the sealing vessel, his mockery grew stronger: "Unfortunately, it won't be easy to make Lord Danzo believe I'm loyal to him. Even if he wants to use Kotoamatsukami on me, I dare not appear too easily swayed, lest Lord Danzo suspect me of having ulterior motives..."

"so…"

Danzo Shimura clenched his teeth, glancing at one of the Sharingan eyes on his arm that was already closed: "That day, you did it on purpose?"

"yes…"

Sasuke Uchiha spread his hands, closed his eyes, seemingly too lazy to look at Danzo Shimura. His face was full of arrogant mockery as he said to Danzo, "After all, your power is so weak that it's even a bit difficult for me to put on a show. If you want to deliberately be affected by Kotoamatsukami's genjutsu, you'll need to use Izanagi once before you'll be able to avoid suspicion..."

"But..."

"I never expected you to be so stupid..."

Sasuke Uchiha opened his eyes, looking at Danzo Shimura with a mocking smile: "You, who have always hated the Uchiha, actually believe in the power of the Uchiha, thinking that Kotoamatsukami can control my will..."
