Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 92 Using a Tiger's Skin

"Did you hear what Uchiha brats said? Human experimentation?"

"Ever since Orochimaru's defection, human experimentation has been a taboo in the village. Did Lord Danzo knowingly violate this rule?"

"I support human experimentation. How can we research ninjutsu without human experimentation? Konoha's strength and prosperity are built on its powerful forces, but using fellow village ninjas for experiments... isn't that a lie?"

After the words were spoken,

The entire Death Forest fell silent, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind and the heavy breathing of the arriving ninjas.

Immediately, it was as if a pot had exploded, and people looked at Shimura Danzo with eyes full of shock.

Most ninjas showed disgust and rejection towards human experimentation, especially the Hyuga clan, which possessed bloodline limits.

These people are often the targets of covetousness.

They were constantly being ambushed by enemy ninjas and captured for experiments, so when they heard about human experimentation, they looked at Danzo with disgust and suspicion.

Another group of ninjas supported human experimentation.

They were all battle maniacs who didn't care about interpersonal relationships; their pursuit of power and ninjutsu took precedence.

However, supporting human experimentation does not mean supporting human experimentation on ninjas from the same village.

Even the most battle maniac wouldn't want to be backstabbed by a fellow villager during a fight, let alone become a subject of human experimentation by that villager.

For a time,

The atmosphere was strangely awkward, but they were able to maintain a calm facade because Hiruzen Sarutobi was present.

"Didn't we say that there is currently no evidence to prove that Shimura Danzo was conducting human experiments?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was not good.

However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he still managed to force a smile and looked kindly at Uchiha Sasuke.

He was deeply dissatisfied that he was being subtly coerced by others while serving as Hokage.

really,

Even brothers can differ. There are very few Uchiha who can truly understand the Will of Fire. Sasuke, like most Uchiha, had no regard for the stability of the village.

He took a deep breath and changed the subject, saying, "Everyone, although there are ninjas from other villages lurking in the Forest of Death, I did not send any ANBU to inform you. I suspect this is all a conspiracy against the Hokage's advisor, trying to plunge our Konoha into chaos. You must not fall for it."

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 assassinate Lord Danzo!"

"This must have been premeditated. To infiltrate Root—was it to gather intelligence on Konoha, or to 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 evidence!"

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 a 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?"

"There is no chakra fluctuation. These walls and ceilings are fake. They can only be observed but not touched."

"So this is an item from the Reincarnation Game? How 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 ninja to live in his 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.

Upon 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 behind 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 Lord!"

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.
