Naruto: This Uchiha is too Evil - Chapter 10
Hokage Office!
The entire office felt like it was on fire. The atmosphere was stifling, suffocating.
The room was filled with smoke, and the person sitting in the office had a raging fire in his heart.
“How dare he? How dare he…”
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had been muttering this phrase since he started.
Like a curse!
The two advisors sitting beside him, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, saw Hiruzen in this state and wisely kept their mouths shut.
“Thump, thump, thump!”
He was here!
Hearing the familiar sound of the cane hitting the ground, Koharu and Homura perked up.
Hiruzen was clearly on the brink of an outburst.
At this moment, anything they said would be useless.
Danzo!
Only Danzo!
He finally arrived!
Koharu and Homura exchanged glances, letting out a long sigh of relief.
Danzo, oh Danzo, we’ve been waiting so long for you.
Quickly, comfort your Hiruzen.
At the same time!
Explain your actions!
That was the Mangekyo, you know!
Who wouldn’t want it?
“Hiruzen, I heard the Uchiha are causing trouble again.” Danzo’s first words upon entering were, “I’ve always said, when dealing with the Uchiha, we mustn’t show mercy. We should use thunderous means to completely eliminate them.”
His voice was filled with coldness and killing intent.
“Good!”
The Third Hokage gave him a deep look, speaking lightly, “In that case, let’s declare war on the Uchiha. What do you think?”
Danzo was dumbfounded.
Did I just have a hallucination?
Hiruzen agreed?
At this moment, shouldn’t you be lecturing me with a bunch of principles to stop me?
Meanwhile, Koharu and Homura sat expressionlessly, their faces unchanged.
They didn’t believe this statement at all.
If Hiruzen had decided, he wouldn’t have had that expression earlier.
“You, you said what? You agreed?” Danzo couldn’t help but ask again.
I must have heard wrong.
Hiruzen has aged.
Faced with the enemy, he only knows how to compromise, time and time again.
Konoha will not respond to such a Hiruzen.
Only he can make this ninja village great and spread it across Shinobi.
He is the one to reform the shinobi world!
Danzo’s back straightened.
The Third Hokage looked at Danzo with calm eyes, speaking in a low tone, “Exterminate the Uchiha; you say this almost every day. Now I agree, so you and your Root will handle it. Go, Danzo, bring me the head of Uchiha Fugaku.”
Danzo’s face turned ugly, “Hiruzen, stop joking!”
Facing the Uchiha, relying only on Root, how could they eliminate them?
Even with the Hokage’s Anbu, it wouldn’t be enough.
In the original story, Itachi and Obito launched a surprise attack from within, with Anbu and Root’s cooperation, that led to the Uchiha’s downfall.
Relying on just Uchiha Itachi alone, not to mention the Uchiha compound is so vast, and the clan members are so spread out, even if they stood still, it would be impossible for one person to kill them all in one night.
One person eliminated the entire Uchiha clan in one night without a sound.
It’s more like a dream!
The Third Hokage said coldly, “A joke? You started this joke.”
Damn it, you keep blabbering every day. Now that I’m giving you a chance, you’re backing down?
You coward!
Do you know how much I want to smash your head right now?
You dare do anything!
And without saying a word!
I am the Hokage!
“Both of you!”
Koharu sighed, “Stop bickering. Such a major incident with the Uchiha, we should think about what to do. The village is on the brink of civil war.”
Civil war!
This is no exaggeration!
The loss of two sets of Mangekyo Sharingan is enough to drive the Uchiha mad.
According to Tobirama’s records, the Mangekyo is strange and unfathomable. A Uchiha with Mangekyo has strength that rivals that of the Hokage.
Imagine if the Hokage faction lost two Hokage-level ninjas. They would be just as desperate.
Moreover.
Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itsuki were not dead; their eyes were gouged out.
It would have been better if they were dead!
Considering how much the Uchiha value their eyes, their heads hurt even more.
“What about the eyes?” The Third Hokage stared coldly at Danzo, “Two sets of Mangekyo, hand them over.”
Danzo: “…”
“Danzo!” Koharu also looked at him strangely, “How did you manage it? Severely injuring Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itsuki in the core area of the Uchiha compound and taking two sets of Mangekyo, that’s impressive.”
“Yes,” Homura sighed. Normally, it’s hard for us to send people in there. You managed… sigh!”
We underestimated you!
Teacher, you misjudged!
Danzo, you are even more outstanding than we thought!
By the way!
Could Hiruzen’s anger be partly because he is intimidated and jealous of Danzo’s bold actions?
Homura seemed to understand something, his expression becoming odd.
Danzo’s ambition for the Hokage position was well-known!
Now, showing such capability, Hiruzen, greedy for power, must feel anxious.
Homura felt he had discovered the truth.
Danzo: “…”
Here’s the problem!
Why do you all think I did it?
Did I admit it?
Or do you have any evidence?
Seeing the determined expressions of the three, Danzo felt a fire of anger inside him.
Damn it, there’s a familiar aura coming his way.
The aura of being a scapegoat!
He gritted his teeth, his face contorted, “I understand what you mean. I’ll take responsibility for this.”
“What do you mean you’ll take responsibility?” The Third Hokage said, displeased, “I asked, where are the two sets of Mangekyo? Hand them over.”
Greedy, aren’t you, Danzo?
Two sets of Mangekyo, four eyes, and you want to keep them all? Dream on!
At most, I’ll give you one to put in your face.
“Where would I steal Mangekyo from? And two sets at that!” Danzo couldn’t hold back, roaring, “Do you think I did this?”
How could I not know I was this powerful?
Going to the core of the Uchiha compound, severely injuring two Uchiha geniuses, and taking the Mangekyo?
Forget about me; even if the teacher went, he would be beaten to a pulp.
Moreover, if I had this power, wouldn’t it be easier to kill Shisui and Itsuki directly?
No!
If I had this power, I would kill Hiruzen first and become the real Hokage!
“Danzo, you saying this is pointless!”
The Third Hokage’s expression also turned cold, “I’ve checked. No suspicious people have entered Konoha recently!”
“I even mobilized all the sensor ninjas in Konoha for a comprehensive search and only found one unknown jonin.”
This statement directly said that the problem couldn’t be from outside; it had to be internal.
Makes sense.
Konoha itself has a barrier.
The Uchiha compound also has a barrier!
If it were an outsider, they would need to pass through Konoha’s barrier, avoid patrols, unlock the Uchiha’s barrier, avoid the Uchiha patrols and the Konoha Police Force, and then attack Shisui and Itsuki!
After taking the Sharingan, they would need to leave smoothly.
Just thinking about it makes one’s scalp tingle.
So!
The three firmly believed it was Danzo.
It’s him!
It’s him!
Our good friend, the Shadow of the Shinobi!
As for Danzo?
His eyes were red with anger.
He had always been the one framing others. Others understood he was innocent even when occasionally taking the blame for the Third Hokage.
But this time!
He did nothing, yet he was inexplicably about to become the culprit for igniting a civil war.
“I don’t accept this!”
Danzo took a deep breath, gritting his teeth, “Whether you believe it or not, I did not do this.”
I was thinking for a moment!
He added, “If necessary, I can step forward and take the blame.”
It is being the scapegoat!
This is his responsibility as the “Scapegoat Hokage.”
Hiruzen tolerated Danzo multiple times precisely because Danzo remembered his duties.
Unfortunately!
He didn’t know more surprises awaited him.
Itsuki could break him once, and he could hurt him again.
To use an old saying: At that moment, Danzo recalled the fear of being dominated by Itsuki!
