Chapitre 10: **Chapter 10: The Responsibilities of the Shadow of the Pot!**
Konoha!
Hokage's Office!
The entire office felt as if it were on fire.
Stifling and suffocating!
Not only was the room filled with smoke, but the hearts of the people inside were also burning with anger.
"How dare he? How dare he..."
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had been muttering this since the beginning.
Like a curse!
The two advisors sitting next to him, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, seeing Hiruzen in this state, wisely kept their mouths shut.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
He's here!
Hearing the familiar sound of a cane tapping on the floor, Koharu and Homura perked up.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was clearly on the verge of exploding.
At this moment, anything they said would be useless.
Danzo!
Only Danzo!
He finally arrived!
Koharu and Homura exchanged a glance, letting out a long breath.
Danzo, oh Danzo, we've been waiting so long for you.
Go comfort your Hiruzen.
At the same time!
Explain your crimes!
That's a Mangekyō!
Who wouldn't want it?
"Hiruzen, I heard the Uchiha are stirring up trouble again." Danzo's first words upon entering were, "I've said it before, dealing with the Uchiha requires a heavy hand. We should eradicate them completely with a thunderous strike."
His voice was cold and full of killing intent.
"Fine!"
The Third Hokage gave him a deep look and said calmly, "In that case, let's declare war on the Uchiha, how about it?"
Danzo was dumbfounded.
Did I just mishear?
Did Hiruzen actually agree?
At this moment, shouldn't you be giving me a long lecture to stop me?
However, Koharu and Homura sat expressionlessly beside them, their faces unchanged.
They didn't believe these words at all.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi had really made up his mind, he wouldn't have had that expression just now.
"You, what did you say? You agreed?" Danzo couldn't help but ask again.
I must have heard wrong.
Hiruzen Sarutobi is old.
When faced with enemies, he only compromises, again and again.
This kind of Hiruzen wouldn't get a response from Konoha.
Only he could make this village great and spread across the ninja world.
He was the one to bring about change in the ninja world!
Danzo straightened his back.
The Third Hokage looked at him calmly and said in a low voice, "To annihilate the Uchiha, you've said this almost every day. Now I agree, so go ahead with Root and complete it. Bring Uchiha Fugaku's head to me."
Danzo's face turned ugly, and he said, "Hiruzen, don't joke around!"
To deal with one Uchiha, how could 'Root' alone wipe them out?
Even adding the Hokage's Anbu wouldn't be enough.
In the original story, Itachi and Obito launched a surprise attack from within, with Anbu and Root cooperating to annihilate the Uchiha.
Relying on Uchiha Itachi alone, let alone anything else, the Uchiha clan's territory is so large, with clan members scattered so widely, even if they stood still for you to kill them, one person wouldn't finish in one night.
One person wiping out the entire Uchiha clan silently in one night.
Dream on!
The Third Hokage coldly said, "Joke? You're the one joking first."
Damn it, you nag all the time. Now I'm giving you a chance, so step up!
Why are you faltering at the critical moment?
Damn it!
Do you know how much I want to smash your head in right now?
You dare to do anything!
And you don't even mention it!
I am the Hokage!
"You two!"
Koharu sighed and said, "Stop arguing. With such a big incident involving the Uchiha, we should think about what to do. The village is on the brink of civil war."
Civil war!
This is not an exaggeration!
The loss of two pairs of Mangekyō is enough to drive the Uchiha insane.
According to Tobirama Senju's records, the Mangekyō is mysterious and unpredictable, and an Uchiha with a Mangekyō has power on par with the Hokage.
Think about the Hokage faction losing two ninja of Hokage level, they would also be frantic.
Moreover.
Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itsuki are not dead but have had their eyes gouged out.
Damn it, it's worse than death!
Considering how much the Uchiha value their eyes, their heads throbbed even more.
"The eyes?" The Third Hokage stared coldly at Danzo, saying, "Two pairs of Mangekyō, hand them over."
Danzo: "..."
"Danzo!" Koharu also looked at Danzo with a peculiar expression, saying, "How did you do it? Injuring Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itsuki severely within the Uchiha's core area and taking two pairs of Mangekyō. It's impressive."
"Yeah!" Homura sighed, "Usually, it's hard for us to even send people in there, and you managed to... sigh!"
Underestimated you!
Teacher, you also misjudged!
Danzo is more capable than you thought!
By the way!
Is Hiruzen angry because Danzo did such a big thing, and he's somewhat wary and jealous?
Homura seemed to understand something, a strange look appearing on his face.
Danzo has always coveted the Hokage position, and everyone knows it!
Now that he's showing such capability, power-hungry Hiruzen would indeed feel anxious.
Homura felt he had discovered the truth.
Danzo: "..."
The problem is!
Why do you think I did this?
Did I admit it?
Or do you have any evidence?
Seeing the determined looks of the three, Danzo felt a fire burning inside.
Damn it, there's a familiar feeling coming towards him.
The feeling of being framed!
He gritted his teeth, his face twisted, saying, "I understand your meaning. I'll take the blame for this."
"What do you mean by 'take the blame'?" The Third Hokage said unhappily, "I asked about the two pairs of Mangekyō. Hand them over."
Greedy, aren't you, Danzo?
Four eyes in total, you want them all, dreaming!
At most, you can have one to implant in your face.
"Where would I steal Mangekyō from? Two pairs at that!" Danzo couldn't hold back anymore, shouting, "Do you really think I did this?"
I didn't know I was so capable?
Sneaking into the Uchiha's core area, severely injuring two Uchiha geniuses, and stealing Mangekyō?
Forget about me, even the teacher would get beaten to a pulp.
And if I were that capable, wouldn't it be better to kill Shisui and Itsuki directly?
No!
I should have killed Hiruzen Sarutobi first and become the real Hokage!
"Danzo, it's pointless to deny it now!"
The Third Hokage's expression turned cold, "I investigated. There have been no suspicious people entering Konoha recently!"
"I even mobilized all of Konoha's sensory ninjas for a blanket search, only finding one unknown Jonin."
This statement practically spells out that the problem couldn't come from outside, only internally.
It makes sense.
Konoha itself has a barrier.
The Uchiha territory also has a barrier!
If it were an outsider, they would have to pass through the Konoha barrier, avoid patrols, open the Uchiha barrier, avoid Uchiha patrols and Konoha Police Force, then attack Shisui and Itsuki!
After taking the Sharingan, they would also have to escape smoothly.
Just thinking about it is hair-raising.
So!
The three of them looked firmly at Danzo.
It was him!
It was him!
It's him!
Our good friend, the Darkness of Shinobi!
Danzo?
He was so angry his eyes turned red.
He had always been the one to frame others. Even when occasionally he had to take the blame for the Third Hokage, everyone understood he was innocent.
Only this time!
He hadn't done anything, but how did he suddenly become the culprit for igniting a civil war?
"I don't admit it!"
Danzo took a deep breath, gritting his teeth, "Whether you believe it or not, I didn't do it."
After thinking for a moment!
He added, "If needed, I can stand up and admit it."
Taking the blame!
This was Danzo's duty as the Shadow of the Pot.
Why did Hiruzen Sarutobi tolerate Danzo so many times? Because Danzo remembered his responsibilities.
Unfortunately!
He wouldn't know that more surprises awaited him.
Itsuki could make him collapse once; he could do it again.
As the saying goes: At that moment, Danzo recalled the fear of being dominated by Itsuki!
