Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 512 Nisan, kill Danzo for my sake!

Danzo Shimura's chest heaved violently.

The old man felt like a plaything being manipulated by Sasuke Uchiha, causing him to lose face in front of Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha.

During this period of time...

Danzo Shimura was once proud of Sasuke Uchiha's unwavering loyalty to him, a user of the Mangekyou Sharingan. He would often hear Sasuke taking the opportunity to express his loyalty, which made him believe that he had the future of Konoha in his hands.

now…

That so-called loyalty is nothing but a mockery!

"to be honest…"

"Kotoamatsukami is a rather interesting illusion."

Sasuke Uchiha smiled mockingly, seemingly particularly pleased with Danzo Shimura's current expression: "Because I no longer need to go to great lengths to make you doubt me..."

"You wicked little brat..."

Danzo Shimura spat out a few words between his teeth.

it turns out…

How dare they treat him like that!

Pretending to be under the influence of Kotoamatsukami, he secretly lurked by his side!

Danzo Shimura's face stung with pain. He could even imagine that when Sasuke Uchiha expressed his loyalty to him, he must have felt the same naivety and foolishness that he was now mocking him for!

"..."

Uchiha Itachi didn't care about Shimura Danzo's feelings; he simply raised his own doubts: "Based on my research on the eyes left behind by Shisui, the ocular power he left behind is very strong. Kotoamatsukami should also be effective against Mangekyou Sharingan users..."

"What you say should work on Kotoamatsukami, right?"

Sasuke Uchiha raised an eyebrow, touched his eye socket, and said arrogantly, "However, the contest between Mangekyou Sharingan users will ultimately come down to the essence of ocular power, and my ocular power is definitely superior to Shisui's..."

"..."

Itachi Uchiha had no choice but to believe this fact.

Regardless of Uchiha Sasuke's performance or the extraordinary talent displayed by this younger brother, they are definitely superior to him and Shisui. Uchiha Sasuke has gone further than them!

"Lord Danzo."

"Don't look at me like that..."

Looking at the fierce-looking Shimura Danzo, Uchiha Sasuke actually chuckled and began to persuade him, "You were quite smug for a while, weren't you, because a Mangekyou Sharingan user was completely obedient to you?"

"Besides..."

Sasuke Uchiha spread his hands, his smile growing increasingly cold: "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been able to become Hokage..."

"You little rascal..."

Danzo Shimura grew increasingly furious, his eyes flashing with fierce intensity: "I became Hokage because I devoted myself to Konoha..."

"Such lies might fool a corpse on the ground, but that's one thing."

Sasuke Uchiha pointed to the corpse of the ninja at his feet and sneered, "My teacher is Kakashi Hatake. Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are? You're just using the name of Konoha to pursue your own selfish interests..."

"You were never qualified to be Hokage."

Sasuke Uchiha's voice was cold and disdainful as he continued, "It's only because of my intervention that you have a chance to wear the God's Robe..."

"you!"

"alright."

"Behave yourself a little!"

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at Danzo and continued casually, "You think you can seize the Hokage position just because you conspired with Orochimaru to murder the Third Hokage? You're being far too naive!"

"..."

Danzo Shimura's heart skipped a beat.

This brat…

They even know something like that!

"..."

Itachi Uchiha glanced at Sasuke Uchiha with some surprise, then looked at Danzo Shimura. He had no idea whether the death of the Third Hokage was a conspiracy by Danzo Shimura!

and…

It seems his younger brother already knew the inside story!

"What do you know!"

Danzo Shimura was somewhat alarmed that his secret had been discovered!

If his collusion with Orochimaru is exposed, neither Koharu Utatane nor Homura Mitokado can protect him, and the villagers certainly won't let him off the hook!

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, ruled Konoha for a long time, and basically all the young generation of ninjas in the village grew up under his watchful eye. The villagers also respected him greatly.

If anyone blames Hiruzen Sarutobi's death on his conspiracy, they will not only lose their Hokage position, but they will also lose their lives!

"Everything, everything."

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at the nervous Danzo Shimura and coldly snorted, "I encountered Orochimaru during the Chunin Exams. Against a user of the Mangekyou Sharingan, Orochimaru would have absolutely no chance..."

"In order to get me to spare his life, I learned from him about some major events that are about to happen during the Chunin Exams. You plan to kill the Third Hokage during the exams so that you can seize power in Konoha..."

"What a naive and foolish idea..."

"..."

Danzo Shimura really couldn't refute it.

Even though Orochimaru killed the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, he only returned to the martial world because of the care of two old friends. His desire to become Hokage would be immediately rejected...

to be honest…

I had already given up on the possibility of becoming Hokage...

"But..."

"Your plan is very interesting..."

Sasuke Uchiha looked at Danzo Shimura, his smile turning playful again: "So I extended your plan a little. You only see the killing of the Third Hokage, but I see the future after the Third Hokage's death..."

"This is the gap between us."

As Sasuke Uchiha finished speaking, he couldn't help but sneer again: "Even if you're a Mangekyou Sharingan user, how could your stolen eye possibly match the vision of an Uchiha?"

"..."

Danzo Shimura gripped his cane tightly.

That brat!

They're mocking him again!

"..."

Itachi Uchiha's expression also changed slightly.

This younger brother…

Was even the Hokage's death part of his plan?

Even back then, during the Chunin Exams, he was just an ordinary genin, yet he already used the Hokage, the highest-ranking person in Konoha, as his pawn!

This…

That's a bit too horrifying!

Even Itachi Uchiha never dared to think about such a thing!

Itachi Uchiha frowned, recalling the gentle old man: "How can you be so sure Orochimaru can kill the Third Hokage?"

It's nothing else...

The main issue is that Orochimaru's strength isn't actually that great...

At least Itachi Uchiha was quite certain that Orochimaru's power was unlikely to kill the Third Hokage, who couldn't even withstand his genjutsu.

"Itachi..."

"Don't underestimate people..."

"Your narrow-mindedness will make you limited in your vision..."

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at his brother, his face full of arrogance: "My magnanimity is enough for me to see the future. The Third Hokage was ultimately just an ordinary ninja..."

Among the Hokage of Konoha throughout history.

The Third Hokage should be the most ordinary one.

Because the Third Hokage was not as exceptionally strong as the First Hokage, nor as intelligent as the Second Hokage, nor as talented as the Fourth Hokage…

If we had to rank them, excluding those who were skilled in forbidden techniques, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, did indeed reach the highest level that an ordinary ninja could achieve.

"Since they are ordinary ninjas, they are naturally not exempt from birth, aging, sickness, and death..."

When Sasuke Uchiha spoke of the highest-ranking and most prestigious person in the village, he adopted a commanding tone: "Orochimaru is a very interesting guy. With his bizarre abilities, killing an aging Hokage wouldn't be a problem for him..."

"In the Forest of Death..."

"I already foresaw the fate that would befall the Third Hokage..."

Sasuke Uchiha's gaze fell on Danzo Shimura: "Similarly, I also foresee that after the Third Hokage's death, Lord Danzo, who has been hiding in the village, will regain power in Konoha. It's a pity that someone like you will never become Hokage..."

"but!"

Danzo Shimura gritted his teeth, resolutely refusing to admit it: "I have already gained recognition, I have become Hokage!"

"Lord Danzo..."

"You're not the Hokage anymore..."

"Even before I personally helped you become Hokage, I was already prepared to pull you down from that position..."

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but laugh, but his smile subtly turned sinister again: "It was I who personally spread the rumor that the Akatsuki was attacking Konoha, which is why the two Hokage advisors approved of you taking the position of Hokage in an emergency..."

"same…"

"It was me too..."

"He personally spread rumors that Lord Danzo was colluding with the Akatsuki organization..."

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at his brother, chuckled, and continued, "Before you and your companions arrived in Konoha, I had already reported a top-secret piece of information to Kakashi-sensei: Lord Danzo colluded with the Akatsuki, secretly hiring Akatsuki members to infiltrate Konoha with the intention of killing the ninjas who opposed his becoming Hokage..."

"exactly…"

"Shortly after I reported this intelligence..."

"Akatsuki members Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki infiltrated Konoha, and Kakashi-sensei, on high alert, happened to run into them..."

"It's you!"

Danzo Shimura's body trembled uncontrollably.

How did you know I would return to Konoha?

Itachi Uchiha frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled: "If I hadn't come to Konoha, this information would only have caused..."

"You couldn't possibly not come."

Sasuke Uchiha interrupted Itachi Uchiha, his eyes exceptionally resolute, as if he could see right through his brother: "Whether it's the assassination of the Third Hokage of Konoha during the Chunin Exams, or the conflict between Sunagakure and Konoha during the Chunin Exams, these are major events that will shock the entire ninja world, and will inevitably attract hordes of villains to infiltrate Konoha..."

"in…"

"That naturally includes those who are worried about me..."

"..."

Uchiha Itachi fell silent.

Because the younger brother's guess was completely accurate.

After the Chunin Exams incident, Itachi Uchiha was worried that something might happen to Sasuke Uchiha, so he hurriedly infiltrated the village with members of the Akatsuki under the pretext of gathering intelligence on Konoha.

"You killed all my people just to save my life..."

Sasuke Uchiha's smile softened slightly, but he still forced himself to continue: "I bear the so-called fate of the Uchiha clan. How could you not come to investigate me when I might be in danger?"

"..."

Itachi Uchiha's heart ached slightly.

His younger brother was clearly expressing the closeness of their brotherly affection, yet it stirred a rising sense of guilt within Itachi Uchiha…

and…

He had a vague feeling...

In Uchiha Sasuke's words, both he and his brother, the two brothers who survived the massacre of their clan, seemed to be people who deserved to die forever!

"yes…"

"I will definitely come."

Uchiha Itachi lowered his head slightly and answered softly, trying his best to calm himself down, before continuing to speak seriously: "So, when we arrived in Konoha, the information Kakashi obtained from you was verified."

"yes…"

Sasuke Uchiha nodded and calmly continued, "Unfortunately, that's far from enough for my plan. Lord Danzo is merely colluding with the Akatsuki; it's impossible for him to make Kakashi-sensei willing to oppose Lord Danzo..."

This is a big deal for everyone else…

For Danzo Shimura, it was just a trivial matter.

"exactly…"

"I also know that Lord Danzo covets the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Sasuke Uchiha looked at Danzo Shimura and said coldly with a mocking tone, "Lord Danzo knows the truth between us brothers. He knows that only I can kill you, and I happen to be loyal to him. Naturally, he wouldn't let this opportunity pass him by..."

"..."

Itachi Uchiha couldn't help but glance at Danzo Shimura.

"You little brat..."

Danzo Shimura cursed fiercely, his cane already slightly drawing the blade, and gritted his teeth as he revealed Sasuke Uchiha's plan: "They secretly used the orders I gave you to contact Itachi, and gave me false information in his name..."

"yes…"

"This erroneous intelligence is actually quite useful..."

"Even the two advisors had no choice but to agree to your becoming Hokage..."

Sasuke Uchiha nodded in satisfaction, feeling a surge of pleasure coursing through his body: "And this erroneous information will soon spread among the higher-ups..."

"After Kakashi-sensei discovered Itachi's infiltration of Konoha, he was already convinced that you were colluding with the Akatsuki..."

"As information about the Akatsuki's invasion of Konoha spread, the village, under a state of emergency, had to post an announcement that you would be chosen as Hokage. This led Kakashi-sensei to conclude that you were a schemer who would stop at nothing to become Hokage..."

"When you stand at a high place..."

"The fall from a great height is about to begin..."

"even…"

"The higher you stand, the harder you fall."

Sasuke Uchiha smiled easily, as if he were a bystander watching a spectacle rather than the mastermind behind the conspiracy.

"You wicked little brat..."

Danzo Shimura trembled with rage. Suddenly, he drew a slender ninja sword from his cane and slashed at Sasuke Uchiha!

"I will kill you with my own hands!"

"Your opponent isn't me..."

Sasuke Uchiha's smile gradually turned cold. He was not afraid of Danzo Shimura's sharp ninja sword at all, and even slowly turned his head to look in the direction of Itachi Uchiha.

"You'll help me kill him, won't you..."

Sasuke Uchiha looked at Itachi Uchiha with the same tenderness he had shown his brother years ago, his eyes filled with the adoration of a child, and he called out softly.

"Nii-san?"

"..."

Itachi Uchiha's eyes were exceptionally complex.

Even though his younger brother's expression was as innocent and adorable as when he was a child, Itachi Uchiha no longer dared to regard him as an ignorant child...

Because beneath that adoring expression…

Hidden within is a darkness that would frighten even Itachi Uchiha!

Itachi Uchiha closed his eyes, but then quickly opened them again in an instant, a line of bloody tears streaming from one of his eye sockets!

As blood and tears welled in Itachi Uchiha's eyes, pitch-black flames rose silently, forming a black wall of fire that blocked Danzo Shimura's path!

Amaterasu.

It is said to be a flame powerful enough to burn everything.

One of Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan techniques.

This younger brother…

So they're using him as a pawn too?

However, Itachi Uchiha found himself powerless to resist, because he knew he could not stand by and watch Danzo Shimura harm his younger brother.

but…

I don't want to see my younger brother become like this either!

This terrifying Uchiha Sasuke, who treats everything in the world as playthings, human lives and precious emotions as tools to achieve his goals, and disregards the morality and etiquette of the ninja world, what will he do in the future?

"Sasuke..."

Itachi Uchiha took a deep breath, trying to persuade his younger brother.

"I'm too lazy to listen to those reasons."

The look of filial piety on Sasuke's face vanished without a trace, replaced by his arrogant and cold demeanor: "Back then, you listened to him and would do anything for me, even kill your entire clan..."

"Now…"

Sasuke Uchiha looked at Itachi Uchiha and said coldly, "You should be able to kill him for me, right?"

"..."

Itachi Uchiha remained silent, unsure how to respond.

even…

He hadn't figured out how to express it yet.

However, Sasuke's threat was so deadly that his voice turned sinister: "If Danzo returns to Konoha, my conspiracy will be exposed, and I will have nowhere to hide in the entire ninja world..."

"Itachi!"

Danzo Shimura's voice immediately jolted Itachi Uchiha awake. The old man's voice also carried a hint of seriousness and solemnity: "You should know that your brother has gone astray. This brat is only plotting against me now, but in the future, he will surely endanger the entire Hidden Leaf Village!"

"Itachi..."

Danzo Shimura looked at Itachi Uchiha and began to coax him, "Do you really want to see the village you've worked so hard to protect become a cradle for such dangerous schemers?"

"Nisan..."

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes held a hint of pleading, as if he worried that Itachi Uchiha would heed Danzo Shimura's advice: "Would you kill me for the sake of Konoha?"

"..."

Itachi Uchiha's eyes filled with pain, and his voice was somewhat dejected: "Sasuke, it's all my fault. No matter what, I didn't want you to end up like this..."

Even though Sasuke's expression was as heartbreaking as when they were children, Itachi no longer dared to trust his younger brother. He knew he was gradually becoming a pawn in his brother's game...

"Am I not good looking like this?"

Uchiha Sasuke's voice was somewhat leisurely.

The black-haired boy's voice suddenly turned chilling!

Sasuke Uchiha stood there with his arms crossed, looking at Itachi Uchiha with the same aloof and arrogant air as Madara Uchiha: "You listened to his suggestion, killed my father and mother, killed all the clan members, and spared me to survive. You presumptuously wanted to arrange my fate, but now I am nothing more than picking up scraps from someone else's work..."

"certainly…"

"You can choose another path."

"You can also kill me here, to get rid of me, the one who should have died on the night of the massacre..."

Anyway…

"As long as Shimura Danzo returns to Konoha..."

"I will end up like you, with nowhere to go..."

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes reflected Itachi Uchiha's, his own eyes bloodshot, yet seemingly seeing through everything about his brother: "Itachi, back then, I would have chosen to join the Akatsuki just like you, to destroy this world alongside the spirit of that Uchiha..."

"At that time..."

"I will await the fall of your butcher's knife..."

"I will prepare for my own death, just as you were prepared to be killed by me on the night of the massacre."

"!!!"

It was as if Itachi Uchiha's deepest secret had been exposed.

The young man's head drooped down quickly, and his hand suddenly rose towards Shimura Danzo. Two shuriken flew from his hand and hurtled towards Shimura Danzo!

"You bastard!"

Danzo Shimura swung his ninja sword and knocked the two shuriken away!

however…

Two more shuriken flew out!

The two shuriken struck first, hitting the shuriken that Shimura Danzo had knocked away. The four shuriken suddenly changed direction and shot directly into Shimura Danzo's body!

"I apologize, Lord Danzo."

As Itachi Uchiha looked at the blood seeping from Danzo Shimura's body, a chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes: "For Sasuke's sake, I must kill you here today..."

"Uchiha..."

"They're all just a bunch of born evil people!"

Danzo Shimura let out a heavy breath, and those words came out of his mouth in anger, as if they were his last words.

The old man's body lay stiffly on the ground, then slowly turned transparent and disappeared from the spot.

Izanagi…

It turns out that Danzo Shimura had already initiated it ahead of time!

"fortunately…"

"I've never trusted you either..."

Danzo Shimura's voice drifted from behind Itachi Uchiha. He raised his ninja sword and suddenly stabbed Itachi Uchiha's body!

however…

Uchiha Itachi's body transformed into a flock of crows, which flew all over the sky!

Itachi Uchiha was very familiar with the clan's forbidden technique, Izanagi, and he was also aware of Danzo Shimura's methods, so he had already taken precautions in advance!

"This guy... is still as troublesome as ever!"

Danzo Shimura glanced coldly at Itachi Uchiha, then at Sasuke Uchiha not far away, a sense of unease creeping into his heart: "Itachi Uchiha understands Izanagi, and that brat Sasuke Uchiha's strength is somewhat beyond my imagination. Killing those two brothers here seems rather unlikely..."

"Nisan."

"It would be best to be as fast as possible..."

Sasuke Uchiha stood there with great interest, watching the battle between Itachi Uchiha and Danzo Shimura, and said with a smile, "Although I blocked one piece of information that Danzo Shimura could receive, his allies are still on their way here..."

Sasuke Uchiha, observing the change in Danzo Shimura's expression, slowly continued, "Orochimaru also wants to meet with Lord Danzo, who has become Hokage. That man is not so easy to deal with..."

"I see."

As crows filled the sky, Itachi Uchiha's figure appeared.

Orochimaru…

A sense of comfort suddenly arose in Shimura Danzo's heart.

good…

I'm about to become Hokage...

Orochimaru will definitely contact me...

If Orochimaru received the news that I was coming to the Daimyo Castle to receive my investiture, he would definitely rush over to meet me... If Orochimaru could arrive in time, or if I could immediately escape and meet with Orochimaru, I wouldn't have to face such a troublesome situation!

"snort…"

"madness…"

"So they've taken the bait already?"

Sasuke Uchiha sneered; he had already noticed the change in Danzo Shimura's expression.

Since you want to kill him...

How could he not feel the despair of death?
