Chapter 14
So that's it, is Koharu's purpose in doing all this to seize power? Well, it's easy for Danzo to become powerful alone, and with Koharu and Yan to contain and divide the power of the Root, he can sit more comfortably as Hokage.
"I have no objection, everything is up to you, Hiruzen."I didn't expect that I could get benefits even if I was just slacking off. This guy Xiaochun is really good at it.
…………
At the Root base, Sarutobi Hiruzen and his three companions, along with a group of Anbu, were looking at the one-eyed dragon in front of them.
"Hiruzen, what do you mean by this? What have I done to offend Konoha that caused such a big commotion? That you have mobilized so many troops?"
What's going on? Even Koharu and Yan, who usually don't take care of things, have come. I haven't done anything else recently except for Uchiha Shisui. Do Hiruzen and the others know that I have obtained Shisui Kotoamatsukami Mangekyō? Damn it, was it the information leaked by that brat Uchiha Itachi?
"Danzo, I thought that turning a blind eye to your actions would make you restrain yourself, but I didn't expect you to go even further and even start to deceive me, the Third Hokage?"
You can use your power to pressure others, but you must not take action. The purpose of my trip is just to achieve the results of Wood Release, not to force this old friend to defect, not to mention that he has the entire Root behind him, Konoha can't afford the loss.
"Danzo, your crime has been exposed, tell the truth. For the sake of our former companions, I will ask Hiruzen to be as lenient as possible with what you did. After all, we have been teammates for many years."
Looking at Danzo with an uncertain face, Utane Koharu began to force him.
Damn, it seems that Uchiha Shisui told Uchiha Itachi about his robbery of Kotoamatsukami's Mangekyō. Hiruzen should have wanted to ask Itachi about the whereabouts of Shisui's Mangekyō, so this scene happened?
"Hiruzen, listen to my explanation. The situation was urgent at that time. You also know Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami. I took this Mangekyō for Konoha, and I have no selfish motives."It's useless to explain now. For Kotoamatsukami, Hiruzen even sent out the Anbu and even called two senior elders who didn't care much about the matter. If he didn't want to defect to Konoha, he could only hand over Kotoamatsukami's Mangekyō.
Yes, if he were Hiruzen, he would never let someone else control the Mangekyō of Kotoamatsukami.
"What? Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō is in your hands? I trusted you so much, but you still hid this trick?"
It seems that what Koharu said is right. The Root must not be controlled by Danzo alone. I don't know how many things this guy has done behind my back. After all, the black gloves didn't work, and I was pushed to the front to take the blame for him?
Danzo, you hide deeper than anyone else.~
"Huh? Hiruzen, you didn't know about the Mangekyō? Then why did you come here this time?"Damn it, I was actually tricked. If I had known, I would have refused to admit it. Now, I guess I can't save the other gods.
"Let's not talk about other things first, just hand over Kotoamatsukami before we talk about other things."If it was just now, I would not be afraid of Danzo, after all, the strength and the situation are on my side, but now Danzo has something like Kotoamatsukami, if I ask for the results of Wood Release at this time, Danzo might be desperate.
Although he won't defect to Konoha, what if he uses Kotoamatsukami on me? Danzo may not kill me, but controlling me to preserve his years of achievements and control Konoha at the same time, based on my understanding of him, this guy Danzo will definitely do this, and he may even have started planning to do so.
"Hiruzen, why don't you keep Kotoamatsukami with me first? As the Hokage, you don't usually use it. Only organizations like our Root can make the most of Kotoamatsukami's Mangekyō."
Although he had already guessed the result, Danzo still wanted to fight for it. After all, he had worked so hard to get it. Mangekyō is not a cabbage. Without Uchiha Shisui, only Uchiha Itachi has this kind of eyes in the whole ninja world.
Wait, Uchiha Itachi? That kid doesn't seem to be very strong. Since he can deal with a strong man like Uchiha Shisui, and with the experience of dealing with the Mangekyō before, it shouldn't be difficult to take down Uchiha Itachi, who just got the Mangekyō Sharingan. What
's more, the remaining eye of Uchiha Shisui should be in Uchiha Itachi's hands. If he can take him down, he can get three Mangekyō Sharingan in an instant. So, it's not a big deal to hand Kotoamatsukami over to Hiruzen now.
"Impossible, Danzo, you should know the harm of Kotoamatsukami. I will never let this thing get out of control. Hand it over, Danzo, don't force me~"
In this situation, Danzo is still struggling. It seems that the matter of splitting the roots is imminent.
"Phew~ I understand. Hiruzen, wait a moment. I have transplanted your eyes. It will take some time to remove them."
Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's resolute attitude, Danzo, who already had other plans, did not intend to fight him, the Third Hokage, to the end on this matter. It was just a Mangekyō Sharingan. As long as he could take down Uchiha Itachi, all three Mangekyōs would be his.
"Transplanted? Yamaneki, go help our Lord Danzo."
In order to prevent Danzo from secretly leaving a backup plan, Sarutobi Hiruzen directly asked the ANBU medical jonin who followed him to take action. After all, this was the Mangekyō Sharingan. If Danzo made a fake eye to destroy the body, he would have to accept the defeat if he didn't want to force him to defect.
""Yes, Sandaime-sama!"
A female ninja stepped out of the crowd and walked straight to Danzo.
Facing Danzo's cold eyes, Shan Gui was still a little timid, but thinking that he had the Sandaime's support, Shan Gui's movements became much smoother.
In the ninja world, even a Genin like Nohara Rin can successfully perform a small operation like eye transplantation, so it is even easier for a medical Jonin like Shan Gui.
In just a short while, Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan appeared in the container in Shan Gui's hand.
"Sandaime-sama, the operation was successful~" Handing the hot potato in his hand to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Yamane quickly returned to the team and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible. Today's matter was obviously not something that a civilian jonin like him could intervene in.
However, he never expected that Shisui, who was famous in the ninja world for making the enemy flee at the sight of him, would fall into his own hands. Elder Danzo did such a thing, but Sandaime-sama had no intention of pursuing punishment at all. Is this still the Will of Fire that he knew?
