Only I can make Konoha Village great again.

Shan Zhong Chu Jiu's shout used three different tones, each one meticulously conveying the unparalleled grievance and fear in his heart.

With the face he shared with Ino in the future, Yamanaka Hatsuyuki instantly grasped Hiruzen Sarutobi's essence, arousing his protective instincts towards the children.

"Danzo, Lord Danzo is so scary! He wants us to be his slaves, and anyone who refuses will have their entire family wiped out... Waaaaah!"

Danzo Shimura: "!"

The crying in the mountains was very well done. Not only was the voice extremely penetrating, but the tears also came instantly, making her cry like a pear blossom in the rain.

"He said it was the Hokage's order, and any ninja who disobeyed him was disobeying the Hokage, betraying the village, and becoming a rogue ninja!"

Danzo Shimura panicked: "I didn't!"

Yamanaka Chuuku cried out in an even louder voice, "He also said that we would be brainwashed and could only obey him, not even the Hokage's orders..."

He also said that the Hokage would die young, and only Root would be eternal!

Danzo Shimura's eyes widened in horror: "I..."

Damn it, that's what I thought, but I never said it out loud!

Yamanaka Chukyu's three sentences accurately describe the image of Shimura Danzo in everyone's mind, and people subconsciously assume that he said those words.

Even among the ninjas present, only Yamanaka Inoichi and Aburame Shiki realized what was happening, and it took them a full half minute.

The two of them were clan leaders of the ninja clan, not upright people like Might Guy. Instead of exposing Yamanaka Hatsukyu's lies, they used their own methods to subtly instruct their clansmen to cooperate.

The mountain ninjas and the aburame ninjas all agreed, and those with good acting skills even cried along with Chu Jiu, perfectly conveying the sad atmosphere of being bullied.

They cried with a clear conscience.

Yamanaka Chujiu wasn't exactly lying; he was just speaking Danzo's mind.

That's right, that's exactly what he was thinking!

Shimura Danzo glared angrily at Yamanaka Hatsukyu, the murderous intent in his eyes almost solidifying into a raging fire that would burn Hatsukyu.

In Konoha Village, he framed and harmed others.

Whether it was the Uchiha clan with a tarnished reputation or the noble-minded Hatake Sakumo, they were all tormented to the point of near ecstasy by him using rumors and other means.

Sakumo Hatake was even slandered by rumors to the point of suicide, using his life to prove his innocence.

Today is truly an upside-down day; someone actually framed Shimura Danzo!

A mere fourteen-year-old special ninja, that's incredible.

However, after Shimura Danzo frantically racked his brains for a way to break the deadlock, he discovered that the female-faced boy's framing was flawless!

He was clearly framed to his face, and he couldn't refute it!

Because those words were all Danzo Shimura's own true feelings!

When someone speaks their mind, they naturally feel a sense of agreement, and their face will unconsciously display a micro-expression of agreement, as well as a guilty micro-expression of feeling seen through in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the "Ninjutsu Doctor," was able to capture Danzo's micro-expressions with 100% accuracy.

Danzo Shimura's own micro-expressions are certainly more credible than his explanations.

Yamanaka Chukyu intended to use Danzo to pin him down in a predicament where he could not defend himself.

Shimura Danzo grew angrier the more he thought about it. When had he ever been treated like this before?

If it were a powerful enemy outside Konoha, such as Hanzo of Amegakure, Nagato of Akatsuki, the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure, or the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, Danzo Shimura would certainly be able to swallow his anger.

But Yamanaka Hatsukyu is a Konoha ninja!

Even if he is the younger brother of the Yamanaka clan leader and Orochimaru's student, he is still just a ninja from Konoha!

How could Danzo Shimura tolerate the wrath of the Konoha ninja?

The fact that the Konoha ninjas, whom he considered insignificant, framed him caused Shimura Danzo to lose his mind in shame and anger, and for the second time, Yamanaka Hatsukyu understood his emotions.

A second thought entangled Shimura Danzo, stirring up his anger as much as possible and causing him to completely lose his reason.

"You damned little bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

Danzo Shimura rapidly formed hand seals and roared, "Wind Release: Vacuum Giant Ball!!"

A vacuum whirlwind appeared between his hands and was thrown out with a sharp whistling sound, hurtling towards Yamanaka Chujiu.

"stop!!"

Yamanaka Inoichi, Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, and Aburame Shiki were greatly surprised.

They never expected that even with the Third Hokage present, Danzo would still dare to launch an attack in front of everyone, attempting to kill a Konoha ninja in full view of them.

They were caught off guard and couldn't react in time. Moreover, the clan leaders were slightly weaker and couldn't stop them at all.

Akimichi Torifu did react, but his severely injured body held him back, preventing him from using the Multiply Technique to intercept the Vacuum Jade.

As the mastermind behind manipulating Danzo's emotions, Yamanaka Hatsukyu naturally anticipated Danzo's madness.

However, he believed in the Third Hokage's strength, in Hiruzen Sarutobi's feelings for Konoha, and in the fact that he would definitely take action to stop Danzo Shimura.

So Yamanaka Hatsukyu gritted his teeth and did not dodge, and put on a horrified expression, completely confirming Shimura Danzo's arrogant heart.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is cowardly, indecisive, and has a morbid obsession with peace, but his love for Konoha is genuine.

His love for Danzo Shimura was genuine, but Danzo Shimura killed him right in front of him.

Absolutely impossible!

Previously, Yamanaka Hatsukyu told Orochimaru that Hiruzen Sarutobi had to step down and recommended Minato Namikaze to become the Fourth Hokage, ultimately because he had grown old and weak.

But Yamanaka Chukyu also knew that what he meant by Sarutobi Hiruzen's lack of strength was a relative weakness.

That was a weakness that couldn't stand up to anything compared to the First Hokage, who was a numerical monster, and the Second Hokage, who was a mechanical monster.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi is no weakling among the current Kage-level ninjas.

Especially when facing Shimura Danzo, he was not intimidated by this Kage-level ninja gatekeeper.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi saw Danzo Shimura use ninjutsu to launch a fatal attack on the child, Hatsukyu Yamanaka, his face instantly turned extremely grim.

He suppressed his anger, calmly formed hand seals, and simultaneously used Body Flicker Technique and Wind Release: Wind Return.

The Instantaneous Movement Technique uses the fewest hand seals and is activated first.

Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly appeared in front of Yamanaka Hatsukyu, his back to Hatsukyu, and spread his arms wide. His Wind Release: Wind Return formed a large shield, reflecting the Vacuum Sphere back at him.

Danzo Shimura never expected Hiruzen Sarutobi to hit him, so when his Vacuum Ball was deflected, he was hit squarely by his own ninjutsu.

His clothes and bandages were torn to shreds by the shattered wind blades. Danzo's entire body spun around, flying high into the air before landing far away among the houses of Konoha Village.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's attack on Danzo was first and foremost a lesson, a punishment for Danzo's usurpation of the Hokage's authority and the harm he caused to the Konoha ninja.

Secondly, Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to send Danzo away.

Only when Danzo is not present can Hiruzen Sarutobi exonerate him and provide him with the greatest possible protection.
