Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 310 Danzo's Death

"Tsunade, you're finally back."

When Hiruzen Sarutobi saw Tsunade, his face lit up with excitement. He had thought that the village would eventually be handed over to Jiraiya, but he never expected that Tsunade would return.

But the next second, Hiruzen Sarutobi was shocked to see Nawaki next to Tsunade, and pointed at him, asking, "Tsunade, he, he's Nawaki?"

"No, it's because of an accident that Nawaki has been revived, which is why I've returned to Konoha, old man!"

Tsunade snorted, and then, seeing how old Hiruzen Sarutobi looked, she didn't utter the stern questions she had prepared in her mind; however, Nawaki had indeed been completely resurrected, and this body was much stronger than before.

She carefully examined him using medical ninjutsu. Both his chakra and cell activation far surpassed those of ordinary ninjas, and his cell activation was even slightly stronger than hers. Once Nawaki reached adulthood, his chakra reserves would definitely be greater than hers.

"But I just got back and heard something that shocked me. Old man, you've been managing the village quite well since you became Hokage again, and now you're even trying to wipe out the Uchiha clan!"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately frowned and asked, "Destroy the Uchiha clan? I have no such intention. Tsunade, has anyone contacted you?"

"I just got back and I was blocked at the gate. And don't tell me you don't know about Danzo's affair. Even indulgence isn't this rampant. Who is the real Hokage?"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi fell silent, then slowly sighed and said, "Tsunade, this matter is complicated. The Uchiha's attitude is very firm."

He had tried his best to communicate, but there was no response from the Uchiha clan, which puzzled Hiruzen Sarutobi. Did Itachi not convey his message to Fugaku Uchiha?

"Forget it, old man, your explanation is probably just to fool me. The situation is urgent now, so give me command of your secret service."

Tsunade bluntly told Hiruzen Sarutobi that she wanted command of the Anbu because she was afraid that Hiruzen would stop Itachi Uchiha from killing Danzo, so she cut off his intelligence sources first.

Although Tsunade felt somewhat disgusted by the killing of Konoha's high-ranking officials, Danzo's actions were truly unforgivable. Colluding with Orochimaru to research Wood Release, attacking Uchiha Shisui, and so on—even without a public trial, Danzo's actions deserved death.

Adding the weight of the name Yang Yi, not only did he revive Nawaki, but he also gave her a tremendous gift, forcing Tsunade to agree to Itachi's request.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Tsunade, then lit his pipe and slowly said, "If you agree to become Hokage, I'll give you command of the Anbu."

"We'll talk about that later."

"Tsunade, I'm almost seventy years old. Now, apart from you, Jiraiya rarely comes back to Konoha. Only Kakashi can barely keep things going, but he's always been very depressed."

Hiruzen Sarutobi played the victim card, saying, "If you still refuse to help, I'm afraid I'll die in the position of Hokage."

Nawaki has been resurrected, and Tsunade has returned to the village on her own initiative. Her hemophobia has probably been cured automatically. Now, Tsunade is the most suitable person to be Hokage.

"Tsk!"

Tsunade clicked her tongue in annoyance. She hated it when people tried to play the victim with her, but she couldn't bring herself to throw a punch.

"Let's talk about this after this is over. I need to make arrangements for Rope Tree first!"

"Alright then, I'll leave the Anbu to you for now."

After saying that, Hiruzen Sarutobi called in an ANBU member and asked him to summon all three ANBU squad leaders who were still in the village. Tsunade also chimed in, asking who among the Jonin in the village was the strongest.

After learning Kakashi and the others' names, Tsunade ordered the Anbu to gather all the Jonin together.

After arriving at the Hokage's office, Tsunade inquired about the number of Anbu members in the village and then immediately ordered, "The Anbu is now under Kakashi's command. Everyone, including the other Jonin, must immediately go to the Root base and seal it off."

"No one, regardless of who they are, is allowed to enter or leave!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kakashi, and the others were stunned by Tsunade's words. Hiruzen quickly asked, "Tsunade, why is that?"

"Old man, since you've handed the Dark Division over to me, don't ask any more questions. You'll find out tomorrow."

Tsunade waved her hand domineeringly and said, "The fact that a war and clan annihilation could happen in the village without your knowledge as the Hokage is largely your responsibility."

"Wh-what?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat stunned, but he quickly thought of the Uchiha clan.

Seeing that the people inside hadn't moved, Tsunade frowned and snapped, "Get moving!"

"Yes, Lady Tsunade."

The group said in unison, and then walked outside to carry out Tsunade's orders; since it was the Third Hokage's order and the Third Hokage hadn't stopped them, they couldn't say anything.

"Old man, I need to go to the Uchiha clan. Are you staying here, or coming with me?"

"I'll go with you. If they really want to make a move, at least we'll have someone to back us up."

After thinking for a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "We can't let Tsunade get into trouble as soon as she returns. Besides, the Uchiha clan shouldn't have the ability to kill the two of them together."

------------

Outside the 32nd training ground of Konoha Village, this is a secluded training ground that is basically only used by members of Root. Moreover, it is located underground, and other ninjas have no idea that such a place exists.

A figure emerged from the darkness, accompanied by the sound of a cane tapping and leaning.

"Why did you suddenly come here? Has the plan changed?"

Danzo and his two henchmen emerged from the darkness and coldly asked Itachi, "It's time to execute the plan. Have you changed your mind?"

"Eliminating the Uchiha clan is too cruel a plan. I think there are other ways."

Itachi stared at Danzo and began to speak, but before he could finish, Danzo coldly interrupted him, saying, "Impossible, Itachi, there is no other way!"

"I've managed to wipe out the Uchiha clan and ensure your younger brother Sasuke's survival. I've already arranged for the teachers at the Ninja Academy to keep Sasuke there, as you promised me. Otherwise, my Root organization and Hiruzen's Anbu would have wiped out the entire Uchiha clan, including your brother Sasuke."

Upon hearing Danzo's words, Itachi involuntarily clenched his fists, his gaze as cold as Haku's icy breath.

"As expected, there's a reason why Father hates Danzo so much. I was so naive before!"

The thought flashed through Itachi's mind. When he came and went from the village before, he saw Danzo sweeping the road with a dazed look in his eyes, like an idiot. He thought it was too cruel to do that. But today, he just felt that his father did the right thing.

No matter how you deal with this person, it's not enough!

"Since you put it that way, Hell's Mist!"

A cloud of black mist appeared in Itachi's hand, which he then crushed.

The eerie black mist, like burning fireworks, spread rapidly in all directions.

"Itachi, what do you think you're doing!?"

Danzo's eyes narrowed, and he questioned loudly, but he and the other two Root members were just about to prepare when they were engulfed by the black mist.

When the fog cleared, Danzo suddenly found himself in another world: a desolate, dark, and bleak mountain range, a blood-red sun and a blood moon, and the occasional cawing of deadly crows.

"Illusion?"

Danzo immediately removed the bandage from his right eye, revealing the four-cornered Mangekyou Sharingan, intending to use it to see through the surrounding illusions.

However, Danzo looked around with his Mangekyou Sharingan but couldn't find any flaws in the genjutsu, which made him feel uneasy.

The next second, he suddenly felt an attack coming and instinctively turned his head away.

Swish!

Two shuriken grazed his cheeks, not injuring him, but the sight sent a chill down his spine. He thought in shock, "How can this genjutsu not even be seen through by the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Suddenly, Danzo sensed an even greater danger, but before he could make a move, he felt a sharp pain in his eyes as his Sharingan was gouged out!

"Ah, my Sharingan!"

"This is Shisui's Sharingan, Danzo. You were too greedy. Not only did you covet the power of the Sharingan, but you also possess Wood Release. Die in repentance!"

Itachi Uchiha's voice echoed from all directions, and the next second, Danzo noticed that black flames suddenly ignited on his body.

"Damn it, Uchiha Itachi, the village will never let you get away with this!"

Danzo's face contorted with rage, but no matter how he lunged or attacked, he couldn't extinguish the flames on his body, and even unleashing his chakra was useless.

"Damn it, Uchiha Itachi, you deserve to die! You deserve to die!!"

Finally, Danzo buried himself in the ground, but he could still feel the flames on his body burning brighter and brighter. In the end, he felt his soul slowly float up, his consciousness flying uncontrollably into the air, and then he simply dissipated.

After Danzo died, Itachi, pale-faced, dispelled the Hell Mist. He then rubbed his head vigorously and muttered to himself, "The Flames of Sin are so powerful. How did Father manage to subdue this Phantom Raven? I couldn't even handle it after using it once."

Itachi took out two secret medicines, both of which were restorative, and then swallowed them directly.

After calming down a bit, Itachi stood up, put away the bottle containing Shisui's eyes, glanced at Danzo and the other two Root members' corpses, and left without hesitation.

------------

"Why have you stopped, Tsunade?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked a question, but Tsunade suddenly stopped after they arrived at the Uchiha clan.

"Go to Fugaku Uchiha's house first, old man."

Tsunade glanced in another direction, then continued, "I'll come find you later, but before I do, don't let Fugaku Uchiha leave!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked puzzled and said, "What are you going to do? At least tell me."

"Anyway, you don't know anything. You'll find out later. Just remember what I said."

After Tsunade finished speaking, she left.

"Tsunade, Tsunade."

Hiruzen Sarutobi called out twice, but Tsunade ignored him. He sighed, pondered for a moment, and then continued on his way to Fugaku Uchiha's house.

However, as he passed through the Uchiha clan's territory, he slowly observed, and Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly felt that the Uchiha clan's territory did not seem to have a revolutionary atmosphere.

The elderly, women, and children are all here, and the pancake and snack shops are open for business. Did the Uchiha clan not care about these people when they were carrying out their revolution?

"This time, I really need to have a serious talk with Fugaku."

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought to himself, and then hurried toward Fugaku Uchiha's house.

On the other side, at the entrance of the guard station, space suddenly distorted, and then a figure suddenly appeared from the distorted space at the entrance of the guard station.

After Obito appeared wearing a mask, he looked around and asked with some confusion, "Why hasn't the barrier been activated yet? Oh well, Danzo is fine, my only target is the Sharingan anyway."

"Go to hell!"

A figure swiftly descended from the sky, slamming a heavy fist into the ground. The terrifying force instantly shattered the ground like tofu, creating a crater over ten meters deep, while countless cracks spread outwards.

The nearest security building was the first to be affected, quickly developing numerous large cracks before shaking violently.

Masked Obito leaped out of the dust, his remaining Sharingan peering intently through a hole in his mask at the person emerging from the dust.

"The Legendary Sannin, Tsunade! What are you doing here?"

Tsunade, who had been wandering around the world without finding a trace, suddenly appeared in Konoha and attacked him with her fists as soon as she appeared. This situation made Obito feel that something was very wrong.

"What happened? Who was attacking just now?"

"Who?"

"Damn it, how dare they attack the security force!"

The Uchiha members inside the security team building came out one after another, but when they saw the blonde twin-tailed female ninja and the word "gambling" on her back, any of the slightly older security team members recognized who she was.

"Tsunade-sama?"

"Huh? Lady Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin? Why is Lady Tsunade here?"

"Who was that guy? The one wearing a mask, Lady Tsunade? Were you just fighting him?"

Without turning around, Tsunade said, "That's right, this guy is the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails' attack eight years ago. His ability is space-time ninjutsu. Be careful!"

"This guy"

Upon hearing about the Nine-Tails' rampage eight years ago, the Uchiha present activated their Sharingan and glared angrily at Masked Obito.

It's all because of this bastard that they've been wronged for eight years!

Seeing that everyone around him had become wary, Obito knew that his plan for tonight might fail, so he tried to use his Kamui ability to leave.

"Hmph, I'll be back next time."

Before he could finish speaking, Kamui's power was activated, and space began to distort.

But at almost the same time, an extremely hot fireball came from behind Obito Uchiha, moving at a very fast speed, almost at the same moment he activated his Kamui ability.

Sensing danger, Obito had no choice but to abandon his space-time teleportation and use Kamui to enter a Hollowfication state, thus dodging the Fireball Jutsu that attacked from behind.

Swish!

A figure appeared beside Obito; it was Itachi, who had just killed Danzo.

After arriving using the Body Flicker Technique, Itachi calmly said, "You can't escape. Tonight, please surrender, Obito."
