Ninja World Live Stream: Was the Sixth Hokage really that powerful?

“If the Uchiha clan changes, then the village should change too,” Hiruzen said.

After the discussion ended, Shisui was summoned outside the Root Gate by Danzo.

“A suspicious person like me won’t easily change my mind.” He paused for a second, his eyes suddenly filled with a chilling malice. “Then, will you use Kotoamatsukami on me too?”

As soon as he finished speaking, his right hand reached out to grab at Shi Shui.

"I'll accept your Sharingan!"

A flash of red light appeared, and the three tomoe in Shisui's eyes spun rapidly.

Illusion is cast.

He subdued Danzo in one move.

As he turned to leave, he suddenly stopped, a punch landing squarely on his abdomen. Danzo had somehow broken free of the genjutsu.

They punched and kicked him, and then grabbed him.

There was a click.

Blood splattered.

He forcibly gouged out Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan.

(Tobirama Senju: ???)

(Hashirama Senju: Holy crap, what the hell are you doing?!)

(Onoki from Two Scales: Shocking my mom! No wonder they said there was a cover-up in the Uchiha clan massacre! It turns out that Shimura Danzo was the mastermind!)

(Afei: Huh? Who just said Danzo was definitely not that kind of person?)

Tobirama's face was so black it could drip ink!

(Raikage A: The Second Hokage misjudged him. Shimura Danzo is incredibly cunning; even ghosts wouldn't want to deal with him.)

(Chiyo: That being said, they've been quite friendly to us, their enemies, and even helped us deal with Shisui's Body Flicker. We're so grateful.)

(Mei Terumi: It's a shame that such a handsome guy died, but thank you Danzo anyway. Back then, Ao was traumatized after just a brief glimpse of him from afar, but now that trauma is gone.)

(…)

The various expressions of gratitude from the other villages were extremely ironic.

(Uchiha Madara: Shimura Danzo, is it? I'll remember you.)

Although he despised the foolish Uchiha clan, it was not up to outsiders to wipe them out.

You still dare to gouge out eyes?

You've really got some nerve. When I'm resurrected, you'll be the first one I use as a sacrifice to the heavens!

(Uchiha Izuna: I knew it! This guy looked like he had bad intentions. He had such a gloomy face. I think he just wanted the Uchiha Sharingan. He talks about the village all the time. It's disgusting!! Tobirama Senju, did you see that? This is the kind of student you taught!)

(Uchiha Madara: Hashirama, I told you long ago, your actions would bring darkness to the village. You see, this is the darkness of the village. Under the guise of protecting the village, look at what they've done!)

(Hashirama Senju: Sigh~, as expected, people change. I've changed, and Danzo and Hiruzen have changed too.)

(Tobirama Senju: Shisui Uchiha, is this true? Tell me the truth! And Sarutobi, do you know anything about this?!)

Chapter 10 Tobirama: Are you just a figurehead as Hokage?

(Hiruzen Sarutobi: Sensei, I don't know anything about this.)

(Tobirama Senju: I don't understand. Is your position as Hokage just for show? Didn't you know Danzo was planning to usurp the throne?)

This actually happened.

Kakashi also thought of that matter, and his expression became unnatural for a second.

(Hiruzen Sarutobi: I'm so sorry, Tobirama-sensei.)

(Tobirama Senju: Never mind, I'll settle the score with you later. Shisui Uchiha, answer me, is this true or false?)

(Uchiha Izuna: How could this be fake? I heard that your future Sixth Hokage personally revealed it, what was his name again? Hatake Kakashi, right?)

Kakashi Hatake: ......

Please let me remain quiet and unassuming, thank you.

(Uchiha Shisui: Now there's no point in hiding it anymore. Everything that happened in that video is real, exactly as I remember it. Danzo stole one of my Kotoamatsukami...)

(Tobirama Senju: Sarutobi, immediately dismiss Danzo! Disband his ANBU!)

In the video, Tobirama had a good impression of Shisui when he first appeared, not only because he looked like Kagami Uchiha and was Kagami's grandson.

Also because he is an outstanding talent who inherited the Will of Fire.

He took the initiative to volunteer to Hiruzen, hoping to resolve the distrust between the village and the Uchiha clan.

Like Kagami, he was one of the few Uchiha who could transcend their own clan's ideology.

Although his methods and approaches are still quite immature, given more time, he could become the head of the Uchiha clan or the Hokage.

Why worry that the problems of the village and the Uchiha clan cannot be solved?

But what is Danzo doing? He's gouging out eyes?!

Even he, a research fanatic, had never done such a thing; at most, he would just pick up an Uchiha corpse for research.

What exactly happened in the years since his death? How did Danzo become like this?!

(Hiruzen Sarutobi: Yes! Second Hokage!)

(Shimura Danzo: Tobirama-sensei, you can't do this to me! I did all this for Konoha! The Uchiha clan can't be trusted! I just felt that Kotoamatsukami would be more effective in my hands. For Konoha, this is a necessary sacrifice!)

(Uchiha Izuna: See? He really was after the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan!)

(Fugaku Uchiha: Speaking of which, during that period, quite a few Uchiha clan members did go missing.)

(Uchiha Tajima: So you're just a useless clan leader? You didn't even notice when people came knocking on your door with their eyes gouged out!)

(Uchiha Fugaku: ...Sorry.)

(Uchiha Izuna: Just dismissal? That's too lenient, Tobirama.)

(Tobirama Senju: Shut up, this is none of your business, you're not from Konoha.)

(Uchiha Madara: Do you want to die, Tobirama?)

"No! Hiruzen! Tobirama-sensei! You can't!" Danzo's eyes blazed with intense resentment and unwillingness as he ordered the Root members to escort him away!

No, absolutely not! He can't die here!

His ambitions haven't been realized yet, how can he...?

"Danzo, give up."

Hiruzen Sarutobi had arrived at Root at some point, followed by a number of Anbu ninjas several times larger than his own.

The base was completely surrounded by dark areas.

"So fast? Were you prepared all along?!" Danzo's face grew increasingly grim with anger.

"I anticipated this outcome the moment the video started playing. Tobirama-sensei is someone who can't tolerate any imperfections, especially with the First Hokage watching."

"Sigh~ I've been too lenient with you all these years. I will take responsibility for your mistakes as well. After I've dealt with your affairs, I will step down."

This was the first time Hiruzen's gaze had been so resolute.

Perhaps it was Tobirama's stern words that woke him up.

All along, he was too cowardly, lacking the courage to bear the darkness, so he let Danzo bear that darkness.

As a result, Danzo sank deeper and deeper into darkness, gradually becoming a part of it himself.

He has made many mistakes in bringing things to this point.

Even the Uchiha clan massacre was due to his lack of decisiveness and the limited things he could do.

Recalling the past, Hiruzen Sarutobi was momentarily stunned.

In that instant, Danzo swiftly shot out a shuriken.

Keng! Keng! Keng!

The shuriken imbued with wind-style chakra was so sharp it seemed to slice through the air.

Hizen Sarutobi summoned a black staff to deflect the shuriken in front of him.

"To take action means you're betraying the village, isn't that right, Danzo?" Hiruzen's eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent.

Danzo's eye bulged bloodshot as he roared, "What betrayal of the village?! How much have I done for the village all these years?! Just because of a dead Uchiha, Tobirama-sensei wants to dismiss me?"

"Doesn't he ever think about who will protect the village after he dies!"

"It's me! You're a good-for-nothing, while I'm the only one wholeheartedly thinking about the village!"

"But you've also forgotten who Tobirama-sensei died because of," Hiruzen interrupted him sharply.

"Have you forgotten? Tobirama-sensei died to protect us good-for-nothings. We swore to carry on Tobirama-sensei's will."

"I swore to protect the village!"

“But,” Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, his back growing increasingly hunched, his aura making him look like a frail old man, “we’ve all gone down the wrong path, Danzo.”

Danzo was stunned for a second, then a fierce glint appeared in his eyes. "You're the one who's gone astray! I'm not wrong! For Konoha, these are necessary sacrifices!"

"Stop, Danzo. You know the Impure World Reincarnation technique, right?"

One sentence left Danzo completely stunned, his face turning pale. "What do you mean? You're going to use Edo Tensei to resurrect Tobirama-sensei?"

"Impossible. This ninjutsu was already listed as a forbidden technique by Hashirama-sensei. The person who can use it now..."

His expression suddenly froze. "Orochimaru?! How is that possible?"

"He actually agreed to cooperate with you?!"

This was something Danzo never expected.

Orochimaru should have always harbored resentment towards Sarutobi.

"Heh heh... I still find things suddenly getting interesting." A hoarse voice suddenly came from a masked ANBU member behind Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He took off his mask, revealing cold, golden snake eyes. "The windmill needs wind to turn, and now I think that the screen that suddenly appeared was that gust of wind."
