Chapter 225 Sarutobi Hiruzen: Suffer the Uchiha, and I Will Bear the Infamy!

Shimura Danzo naturally didn't know about the orphans in this orphanage. This is the core of Guideng Crescent's transaction.

It can even be said that Gui Deng Xinyue made this dumpling just for this dish of vinegar.

Are the previous spiritual transformation techniques and medicine master Nonoyu useful to Ghost Lantern New Moon?

it works!

The technique of spiritualization is helpful for Kiden Shinetsu to control her spirit, and Yakino Nonoyu is a blond girl with huge R glasses who really pokes at Kiden Shinetsu's XP. Needless to say, the usefulness of these two.

But compared to Yakushi Kabuto, these things can be put aside first.

If Ghost Light Crescent Moon were to select a few civilian geniuses from the original work, then Kabuto Yakushi and Metkai would definitely be on the list, and could even be said to be among the best.

The talent of Kabuto Yakushi can be seen from the fact that he was able to transform from an orphan to a dragon, becoming a Ryuchidō Sage that even Orochimaru was unable to accomplish.

What is the reason why the Chakra Research Institute of Kirigakure Village has not established a director until now?

Isn't it because there is no research genius who can unify the Chakra Research Institute and guide the research progress of various projects?

But the current Yakushi Kabuto is still a little kid, and no matter how talented he is, he still has to wait ten years before he can be put to use.

However, even apart from his talent in research, Kabuto Yakushi also has considerable achievements in many fields such as intelligence collection, espionage, and medical treatment. He can be said to be an all-around genius.

Therefore, Yakushi Kabuto's identity in Kirigakure Village became clear - he was the founding disciple of Ghost Light Crescent Moon.

Although Gui Deng Xinyue had already been rumored to accept outstanding Ninja School students as his disciples a few years ago when he first became the principal of the Ninja School, there were no talents that he liked in the past few years.

Both Kito Genzuki and Terumi Mei were from the ninja clan, and a large part of their strength relied on blood inheritance limits and family secrets. He didn't have much to teach in this part.

As for Kisame's special chakra physique, he only needs to wait for him to make a contribution, and then continue to teach him some powerful and mana-consuming ninjutsu, and there is no need to bother with guidance at all.

And the most important thing is that the founding disciple of Gui Deng Xinyue has too strong political significance, so none of the above three people are actually the best choices.

Only Kabuto Yakushi, who was born as an orphan, has outstanding talents and talents, and has the talent to practice the sage mode. This is simply the best proof that Kirigakure Village is inclusive of the world and accepts talents regardless of their origins.

But Shimura Danzo naturally didn't know this. At this time, he was still immersed in the excitement of getting the Mangekyō Sharingan and being able to use the Mangekyō as the foundation to step into the position of Hokage! ——

"Teacher, I want to go on a trip."

Sarutobi Mansion, Jiraiya said to his teacher.

After the funeral that ruined Sarutobi Hiruzen's reputation, in order to fulfill his vow to abdicate, Sarutobi Hiruzen moved directly out of the Hokage's office and moved all his belongings back to his mansion.

Then he locked himself in the room and waited for the investigation report.

"Huh... I am no longer Hokage. If you don't come up with a suitable reason, I'm afraid you will definitely bear the reputation of being a rebellious ninja."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat quietly on the sofa, looking at his proud disciple, and reminded him after slowly exhaling a puff of smoke.

It was only a few days before the funeral, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's originally tall body was now slightly stooped, and his face was full of haggardness.

In his forties, he was originally at the end of the golden age of ninjas, but now he has half of his white hair.

The impact of the Nao Hatake incident on him is evident.

"Teacher, what you experienced at the funeral has already shown that there is an undercurrent surging in Konoha today. This is exactly in line with the prediction of the great toad sage that the son of prophecy will be born."

At the funeral, Jiraiya was influenced by the atmosphere and thought that the teacher had really done those things.

But after calming down afterward, he finally came to his senses. There must be something fishy behind this, someone must be slandering Sarutobi Hiruzen!

But his words were unfounded, and he had no evidence, so he could only keep these words in his heart.

However, the chaos in Konoha has also strengthened Jiraiya's determination to go out to find and cultivate the son of the prophecy.

One is to go out and avoid all the upcoming troubles in Konoha, so as to be out of sight and out of mind;

Second, the world is becoming increasingly chaotic, so he has to stay with Uzumaki Nagato to ensure that no accidents happen to the son of the prophecy before he grows up.

"Really...can you believe the teacher? The teacher is really pleased."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the disciple he had trained with his own hands, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.

After the funeral, not to mention the people in the village, even his wife Sarutobi Biwako was dubious about him.

For other people close to him, Orochimaru has a cold nature and has been staying in the laboratory since the funeral. Tsunade is far away in Kirigakure Village. Maybe she just learned the news at this time, and the only one left by her side is Jiraiya. .

At this time, Jiraiya's trust was a real help in time for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hmm... It's okay for you to go out at this time. You just need to go out to avoid the limelight... Then I will give you a long-term mission to monitor Kirigakure Village and find out the intelligence of Kirigakure Village!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while, grabbed a blank scroll and started issuing tasks.

Although he has now abdicated, he is still the de facto Hokage until the new Hokage takes over. Signing such an order does not require anyone to discuss it.

And even if he really abdicated, he could still issue such a task. After all... the power of a retired old leader, that can only be said to be understood by everyone.

"Old man... take care!"

Jiraiya took the task book, stuffed it into his arms, looked deeply at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and got up and left the Sarutobi residence.

However, as soon as he walked out of the door, he ran into the trio of Shimura Danzo, Utatane Koharu, and Mito Kado En.

"..."

Although he didn't know the role Shimura Danzo played in the Hatake Nao incident, his previous style in the root was enough to disgust Jiraiya.

So Jiraiya simply said hello and left without looking back.

"Hiruzen's three disciples are really more outrageous than the other!"

Utatane Koharu looked at this scene and immediately became angry.

Not to mention Tsunade, the granddaughter of Senju Hashirama didn't care about them at all.

Orochimaru's cold personality made him even more indifferent to them.

Jiraiya was better, sometimes he was more polite, but since he had decided to leave Konoha temporarily, he naturally wouldn't care too much about these etiquettes, and naturally wouldn't take care of their faces.

"Okay, don't forget the purpose of our trip."

Shimura Danzo looked at Jiraiya's back and stopped Utatane Koharu's complaints.

Now his core goal is to ascend to the position of Hokage, and it won't be too late to deal with Jiraiya and his people after he becomes Hokage.

"Well... Danzo, did you really get the key evidence of the Hatake Nao incident?"

Upon hearing this, Utatane Koharu immediately changed the subject and asked about this old teammate.

She and Mito Kado En had only received a message from this old teammate, saying that they had found evidence of the Hatake Nao incident.

But he didn't say what the evidence was, only that he would show it to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Hearing what Utatane Koharu said, Mito Kado En immediately looked at Shimura Danzo with curiosity.

"Now that we're here, let's join Hiruzen and watch it together!"

However, Shimura Danzo would not show the Mangekyō Sharingan outside, and immediately took the two into the house.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had closed his eyes and concentrated, was also surprised when he saw the three people coming together, but then he was shocked by Shimura Danzo's words.

"The murderer of Hatake Nao's incident is the Uchiha clan!"

Along with Shimura Danzo's sonorous and powerful voice, he took out a glass bottle from his arms.

This glass bottle looks ordinary, no different from its normal laboratory counterparts.

What's unusual is the two eyeballs floating in an unknown liquid inside it.

"Huh? What is this?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kado En and Utatane Koharu were puzzled, and did not recognize the origin of this eye for a while.

After all, the Mangekyō Sharingan has not appeared in Konoha for decades since Uchiha Madara left.

The last time it was revealed was in the distant battlefield of the Land of Rain. The relevant records they learned were also learned from the secret notes of Senju Tobirama. It was normal that they could not recognize it at first glance.

"This is the Mangekyō Sharingan!"

Shimura Danzo stared at his old teammate's eyes and said word by word.

"What?"

As soon as these words came out, the spacious room suddenly fell silent. The three looked at each other, and after a while, they gradually recovered.

Utatane Koharu's eyes were fixed on the snowflake-shaped hexagonal pattern on the eyes, and the heat in her eyes was almost turned into substance.

After all, this is a Mangekyō!

In the past, it was on par with Wood Release and was the ultimate power of the two pillars of Konoha. Now that Wood Release is gone, there is no need to say how much this Mangekyō means to Konoha!

"Could this Mangekyō be the one that appeared in the Rain Country battlefield before? ... But how did you find this Mangekyō, Danzo?"

Under the temptation of the Mangekyō, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other three had already forgotten the real culprit of the Hatake Nao incident, and their minds were full of this Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Yes, this is the pair of Mangekyō that appeared in the Rain Country battlefield!"

Shimura Danzo confirmed Sarutobi Hiruzen's guess, and then began to slowly "tell" the origin of this Mangekyō Sharingan.

Before, Hozuki Shingetsu gave him this Mangekyō, so naturally he would not tell him the origin of this Mangekyō Sharingan.

After all, Uchiha Madara was already very old at this time, and he would not stir up trouble except for secretly placing his son in Takigakure and Uzumaki Nagato.

Under this situation, Hozuki Shingetsu naturally would not reveal his information.

But this did not prevent Shimura Danzo from making up a reasonable origin for this Mangekyō. In Shimura Danzo's words, the origin of this Mangekyō Sharingan was accidentally related to Uchiha Madara - this eye came from Uchiha Madara's "son".

In the shocked eyes of everyone, Shimura Danzo began to talk nonsense seriously:

When Uchiha Madara defected from Konoha, before the battle with Senju Hashirama in the Valley of the End, he had a brief relationship with a woman from another village.

The woman became pregnant, and the child she gave birth to was the owner of this Mangekyō Sharingan.

Due to the influence of his father, the child was full of hatred for Konoha. Since opening the Mangekyō, he has been thinking about how to retaliate against Konoha all day long.

The previous battlefield in the Rain Country was to attack Konoha, but it was blocked by a wood-style ninja who came from nowhere.

This time, the incident of Hatake Nao was also manipulated by him. He used illusion to deceive Hatake Nao, took the opportunity to cause trouble at Hatake Sakumo's funeral, and spread rumors about Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"..."

Everyone looked at Shimura Danzo who was talking freely, and couldn't help showing a Σ(っ°Д°;)っ expression on their faces.

What?

Uchiha Madara has a son?

You learned this unofficial history from the Hidden Mist Village!

Everyone was about to complain, but then they thought that all this was theoretically possible.

After all, Uchiha Madara never had a woman in the records. After being abandoned by his relatives and friends and leaving Konoha, if he wanted to rebuild Uchiha, it was possible.

And after leaving his descendants, it was reasonable for him to fight with Senju Hashirama... But why does it still feel so weird!

Everyone had a lot of complaints in their hearts, but they had nowhere to complain, so they could only force themselves to hold it in their hearts.

Shimura Danzo pretended not to see everyone's expressions and continued to talk about the various origins of this Mangekyo.

In fact, he originally wanted to throw dirty water directly on the Uchiha clan, saying that the Mangekyo was the private collection of the Uchiha clan, and everything came from the Uchiha clan's desire for the position of Hokage.

But he turned around and thought it was wrong. Under the current situation of public opinion in the village, if it is really said that the Mangekyo came from the Uchiha, then there will be no room for maneuver between the Uchiha and the village.

The final result is probably that the village will be forced to exterminate the Uchiha under public opinion, or the Uchiha will betray the village.

And these two results are undoubtedly unacceptable to Konoha now.

So Shimura Danzo retreated to the second best and fabricated an Uchiha clan member. He did not directly point the spearhead at the Uchiha clan, but was able to get involved with the Uchiha clan and use it to attack them.

"Then how did you catch him?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes and thought for a while, and asked a key question.

Yes, it was a Mangekyo after all!

The "ultimate power" on par with Wood Release, I'm not looking down on you, Shimura Danzo, do you have the ability to subdue a Mangekyō?

And facing this question, Shimura Danzo was naturally prepared in his heart.

"Since the funeral, I have sent the Root Ninja to strictly protect Hatake Kakashi. Because I put myself in his shoes and thought that if I were the murderer, if Kakashi also got into trouble at this time, then Konoha would be in chaos."

"Then as expected, I found clues around Kakashi."

Shimura Danzo briefly introduced the situation at the time and revealed the most crucial sentence:

"Of course, the reason why we were able to defeat him was not because of our first move, but because the power of the Mangekyō was almost exhausted, so we were able to succeed."

Since Hozuki Shingetsu gave the Mangekyō to Danzo, it was natural that he would hand it over to him after the experiment, all the data and genes were collected, and all the power of the eyes was almost exhausted.

So Danzo would be so generous to reveal this information, not afraid of others snatching it.

After all, the current Mangekyo can only show the appearance, and the power of the Mangekyo can't be revealed.

Hearing what Shimura Danzo said, the three people's faces were not relieved, but a trace of regret flashed across their faces.

For the three people, the role of the Mangekyo as a war tool is far greater than its role as evidence.

"So, everyone, is this investigation report still convincing?"

Seeing that everyone's attention has been attracted by the Mangekyo, Shimura Danzo didn't pretend anymore, and directly expressed his ambition for the position of Hokage.

"I have no objection."

"I agree."

Seeing that Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En expressed their opinions one after another, Shimura Danzo suppressed his inner excitement and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen, the main lord, agrees, the rest of the ninja clans can be easily solved.

"... I have no objection either."

Under the gaze of the three people, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, sat down slowly, and expressed his opinion.

Regardless of how much of Shimura Danzo's words were true, the key point was that the Mangekyō Sharingan was actually in front of everyone.

Under such convincing evidence, he had no power to object.

It's done!

Shimura Danzo secretly took a deep breath, trying his best to show that he didn't care so much, but his hands tightly holding the crutches revealed his inner feelings at the moment.

"By the way, Hiruzen, didn't you swear on the Hokage Rock that you would do everything you can to help Uchiha Fugaku become the fourth generation Hokage?"

At this moment, Mito Kadokane seemed to remember something and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with an inexplicable look.

Yes!

You, Sarutobi Hiruzen, pointed to the Hokage Rock and swore in front of the villagers under the mediation of Uzumaki Mito.

Now that you support Shimura Danzo, where do you put the Uchiha clan and yourself?

Upon hearing this, the other two came back to their senses and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with strange eyes, wanting to see how this "ninja hero" would answer.

Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, his face froze, and then he closed his eyes weakly, and slowly uttered a few words:

"The key now is to consolidate the villagers' trust in the village. Danzo's evidence plays a vital role in stabilizing the overall situation, so for the sake of the overall situation, we can only wrong the Uchiha..."

"Hardship Uchiha, I will bear the blame!"
