Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 168 Danzo: No one can judge me! No one!

In this situation, even if Danzo still has the Sharingan and can use Izanagi, he still has no way to resist the Five Spirit Kings.

This is a difference in raw power; the power of the Titan's armor is simply too great.

The best outcome would be to delay for a while before being killed, which is meaningless.

The outcome is decided, the stage has come to a close, and as the loser, one should act with some dignity.

Danzo then stopped resisting, broke free from the Nightmare King, and became completely calm.

There's nothing more to say now that things have come to this.

Golden sunlight shone from behind Danzo, giving him a radiant glow and dispelling the darkness emanating from him.

It was as if they were trying to completely purify Danzo, while also subtly foreshadowing Danzo's fate.

The roots in the darkness that want to show themselves to people will only be driven away and perish by the light of the burning leaves.

"It's over... Danzo, you will receive the judgment you deserve."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood before Danzo, his eyes filled with unwavering killing intent.

Danzo's originally calm expression turned ferocious upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's word "judgment."

"No one can judge me! No one!"

"Everything I've done is for Konoha. You'll regret this, Hiruzen!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent, responding to Danzo with silence.

The usual "you regret my shadow" did not take place.

The bond between them should come to an end.

Upon seeing this, Danzo calmed down and revealed a faint smile.

"That's more like it. A Hokage should be decisive and ruthless. Hiruzen, now you're the Hokage you should be."

Danzo took out the precious gem that had been urgently delivered by the Upper Primordial Stone from his person and integrated it into his body.

The next moment, Danzo died.

Therefore... when you are doing reinforcement, you must conduct well-established experiments.

Otherwise, the most common outcome is that they become lab rats that die suddenly in experiments.

"Was this... suicide?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi created a shadow clone and slowly approached Danzo.

As a longtime friend, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew Danzo's extreme personality, and Danzo didn't mind having some self-destructive techniques engraved on his body.

The shadow clone approached Danzo's corpse and carefully examined it, finally concluding that Danzo was completely dead.

"It's over, Danzo."

As Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Danzo's corpse, he was reminded of the many glorious years he had spent fighting alongside Danzo.

Soon, the Konoha ninja arrived at the Valley of the End. Given the scale of the battle that had taken place there, the Konoha ninja certainly needed to investigate.

The Root ninjas have done their best to hold them off for so long, but this is only because the Konoha ninjas are unable to kill the Root ninjas.

The only way to capture them alive is to find a way to do so, which is why so much time has been wasted.

Countless cracks appeared in the ground within a radius of several kilometers of the End Valley, and even large areas of forest collapsed.

"Hokage-sama, what happened?"

When Nara Shikaku arrived, he saw the Valley of the End, whose landscape had been altered, and two severely damaged giant suits.

And... Danzo's corpse in front of the Third Hokage.

In that short time, various guesses began to pop into Nara Shikaku's mind.

Nara Shikaku was starting to regret it; he seemed to have gotten himself involved in something big.

This is clearly an internal power struggle, and a large-scale one at that.

Nara Shikaku's only consolation was that these two still had some sense of reality and had come to the secluded Valley of the End to find out everything.

Instead of starting a major battle directly in the bustling streets of Konoha.

Nara Shikaku could hardly imagine the catastrophic consequences.

"A mysterious enemy attacked Konoha. Danzo and I fought together, but Danzo was unfortunately killed in battle."

In the end, Hiruzen Sarutobi chose to preserve Danzo's posthumous reputation.

Danzo lived almost his entire life in darkness. Now that he is dead, let his name be engraved on the memorial stone so that he can bask in the sunlight from now on.

This was the last thing Hiruzen Sarutobi did for Danzo.

Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's unequivocal voice, Shikaku Nara nodded.

This is not something he can interfere with; he will do whatever the Third Hokage says.

"Yes, Lord Hokage, I will arrange to find the enemy immediately."

Nara Shikaku immediately responded, implying that he would announce it to the Konoha ninjas to confirm Hiruzen Sarutobi's words.

This is the truth!

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly upon hearing Shikaku Nara's words, then looked around at the terrain, which appeared to have been ravaged by a natural disaster, riddled with potholes, and at the two enormous, nearly destroyed Titan armors.

"Collect Danzo's body, restore the battlefield, and send the two giant armors back to the training department so Shiichi can see if they can be repaired."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the Five Spirit Kings, whose bodies had turned ashen, and a look of heartache flashed across his face.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was genuinely reluctant to part with the Five Spirit Kings; the feeling of wielding the Five Spirit Kings and controlling the five elemental chakras was simply amazing.

He can use all kinds of five elemental escape techniques with ease, and he can also freely use the ultimate moves that he usually hesitates to use.

However, even if it can't be repaired, it's fine. Hiruzen Sarutobi won't need the Five Spirit Kings anymore, so it's more of a commemorative item.

Hiruzen Sarutobi entrusted the cleanup to Shikaku Nara, then turned and left.

He now needs to convene the final Hokage meeting as soon as possible to reassure the public.

News of Danzo's death quickly spread throughout Konoha, a major event that immediately attracted a great deal of attention.

The Konoha ninja sensed Hiruzen Sarutobi's determination to retire and killed his white glove Danzo, proving that Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to completely relinquish power.

Some people looked delighted, which meant a reshuffling of power and a redistribution of vast amounts of wealth—it was fantastic!

But some people panicked, such as the two Hokage advisors of Konoha, who only realized the urgency of the situation at this moment.

A reshuffling of power is not a good thing for rulers who have seized a large share of the benefits.

Without the support of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado's power will be greatly diminished, and they will become less able to intimidate others.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado had already felt the greedy gazes around them, as if they wanted to devour them.

When the Uchiha clan heard about this, the entire clan celebrated.

Obito's entry into the Hokage master-disciple system and the death of Danzo, the number one enemy of the Uchiha clan, are two happy things happening at the same time, which is double the happiness!

Of course, we can't directly celebrate Danzo's death, as that would be a slap in the face to the Third Hokage.

In the past, the Uchiha didn't care; they would fight if they wanted to. But now it's different. For the sake of the Hokage position, the Uchiha need to consider more things.

Therefore, the Uchiha came up with all sorts of excuses, such as "my wife gave birth" or "your wife gave birth," and there was laughter and joy everywhere.
