The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

(Dear readers, please rate this book with a 5-star review to support the author! I really need your encouragement!)

Danzo's head rolled onto the stone slabs of the square.

That perpetually gloomy face was frozen in disbelief.

The entire square fell into a deathly silence, which was then followed by a deafening roar of cheers.

"Well done! Well done!"

"Shimura Danzo, you deserve to die!"

"Shimura Danzo, you deserve to die!"

Cheers rose like waves, and more and more people gathered to hear them.

In the blink of an eye, the treetops and rooftops were filled with people, tens of thousands of people watching.

Danzo Shimura was an advisor and elder of Konoha Village, whose status was almost equivalent to that of the Hokage.

Unexpectedly, in just a few seconds, he was beheaded on the street.

Hiruzen Sarutobi pushed through the crowd, his face pale as he stared at his old friend and political enemy lying on the ground, head and body severed, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Uchiha Mitsunaga, do you know what you've done?"

Uchiha Mitsunori scoffed, "I wielded the sword for justice and killed someone who deserved to die!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi pointed at Mitsumine Uchiha and roared, "Even if Danzo is guilty, he should be tried... Besides, he is an advisor and elder of Konoha. Even if he is executed, he should have a dignified death. How can you resort to vigilante justice?"

Uchiha Mitsunori placed the three-tomoe Sharingan he had dug out into a nutrient tank, and then put away Danzo's severed Hashirama cell arm.

Finally, he turned to face Hiruzen Sarutobi, his eyes filled with contempt.

"Look everyone, this is the true face of our Hokage. He thinks these people are high and mighty, that even their deaths should be dignified. They can't imagine the despair and helplessness of thousands of children at the Root base, being carried onto operating tables, their bellies ripped open, watching their internal organs being pulled out... And when it's their turn, these high-ranking officials demand trial, demand dignity... Tell me, was I right to kill them?!"

"Kill...kill...kill! These scumbags deserve to die!"

The shouts grew louder and louder, and the surrounding Konoha villagers seemed to have transformed into thugs at that moment!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression grew increasingly grim.

He looked around and saw that behind the three peaks of the Uchiha clan, there were still Hiashi Hyuga, Akagi Senju, and others standing. He knew that there was no way to turn the tide.

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's pale face, Mitsumine Uchiha arrogantly walked over and spat a thick wad of phlegm at his feet.

"Hahaha... You dare call yourself the strongest Hokage... Trash... Garbage, let's have a one-on-one fight! Considering you're 55 years old, I won't kill you! Come on... let's fight!"

At this moment, Uchiha Mitsuru was extremely arrogant. He stood opposite Hiruzen Sarutobi, constantly provoking him, as if he wanted to trample Hiruzen Sarutobi's face into the mud.

Dozens of Hiruzen Sarutobi's die-hard fans wanted to rush over and teach Uchiha Mitsumine a lesson, but they were stopped by the surrounding guards.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turned from pale to ashen, but he calmed down and coldly snorted, "Let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen members of the Anbu and Hiruzen Sarutobi used the Body Flicker Technique to disappear from the spot.

Just then, a dazzling signal flare rose into the sky above the Forest of Death... The Uchiha clan crest bloomed in the sky.

Uchiha Mitsunori looked up and a slight smile appeared on his lips: He knew that the Root base had been completely taken over.

He turned to the surrounding villagers and announced loudly, "Fellow Konoha comrades, would you like to come with me to the Root base and see the hidden dark truth?"

The crowd responded even more enthusiastically and began to move around.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood in the Hokage Building office, feeling a wave of powerlessness wash over him.

He understood that the power structure of Konoha was about to undergo a dramatic change.

"Damn it, what should I do... Someone... Quickly bring Koharu Utatane and Advisor Homura Mitokado to the Hokage's office."

......

Deep within the Death Forest, at the entrance to the Root Base, a crowd surged forth like a tide.

Uchiha Mitsumine's voice, amplified by chakra, resounded throughout the entire area: "Everyone, please prepare yourselves. You are about to witness the darkest truth about Konoha Village, hidden under the protection of Hiruzen Sarutobi."

Looking at the open base gate, the villagers of Konoha hesitated for a moment before entering one after another.

The base was brightly lit, and traces of a recent battle remained on the walls.

Every few steps, you can see subdued Root ninjas, bound by special sealing techniques.

"What...what is this?" Her voice trembled slightly.

The crowd surged forward, then erupted in screams of terror.

Inside the spacious laboratory, dozens of two-meter-high transparent culture jars are neatly arranged, each containing a child aged 5 to 7.

"Oh my god! That's...that's Ryota, who disappeared two years ago!" A middle-aged woman suddenly lunged at one of the jars.

Her fingers trembled as she pressed them against the cold glass, tears welling in her eyes: "He was only five years old then! The Anbu said he'd been kidnapped by enemy ninjas..."

"This is... our Senju clan's missing child!" A Senju clan ninja recognized the figure in another incubation jar.

The walls of the laboratory are covered with detailed experimental records.

It coldly records details such as how organs were extracted from these living organisms and how the rejection response of interstitial cells was tested.

An elder of the Senju clan slammed his fist into the wall, and the sturdy stone wall cracked instantly from the burst of chakra.

"Beasts! They actually used our children for these kinds of experiments!"

Anger spread like a plague among the crowd; some began to weep, some stood frozen in place, and in the eyes of many more, flames of hatred ignited.

Uchiha Mitsumine raised his voice: "Everyone, please calm down! This is only the first level; there's much more to come..."

Before he could finish speaking, a furious roar suddenly erupted from the crowd: "You bastards of the Shimura family! They all deserve to die!"

Like a fuse being lit, the crowd instantly erupted in excitement.

The villagers stopped visiting and turned to rush out.

They shouted slogans of revenge, their eyes filled with tears and rage.

On Konoha's commercial street, an angry crowd surged like a tide toward the various shops owned by the Shimura family.

"Smash it!" A father who had lost his son picked up a stone from the roadside and smashed it hard against the window of "Shimura Herbal Medicine Shop".

The sound of shattering glass acted as a signal, and dozens of people rushed forward.

The shelves were overturned, the precious medicinal herbs were trampled, and the counter was torn to pieces.

The owner of the weapon shop next door, Shimura, saw this and hurriedly closed his shop, but it was too late.

"What are you doing? This is private property!" A Shimura clan ninja tried to stop them, but was immediately surrounded by an angry crowd.

Fists rained down on him, and he was killed on the spot.

Tens of thousands of villagers gathered outside the Zhicun clan's territory, and people kept throwing Molotov cocktails.

The exquisite Japanese-style building was soon engulfed in flames, with black smoke shooting straight into the sky.

Inside the mansion, the Shimura family members frantically packed their valuables and fled through a secret passage.

An elder of the Shimura family kept cursing, "These ungrateful bastards... Lord Danzo sacrificed so much for Konoha..."

Before he could finish speaking, a kunai shot out from the shadows and pierced his throat with pinpoint accuracy.

The old man fell down, his eyes wide open, never understanding who had done it until his death...
