Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 222 The Death of Danzo [Part 2]

Chapter 222 The Death of Danzo [Part 2] (Combined)

Danzo was captured, and Yuya turned him into a little golden statue.

Although Yua had used this ability before—which involved using gold powder to float towards an enemy's body and turn the enemy into gold from the inside out—it still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Mainly...

Danzo seems to be quite inhuman now.

The trees stretching out behind him had already made Danzo lose his human form.

Turning Danzo into a golden statue by Yua in this state can only be described as a bit of performance art.

With Danzo subdued, the so-called rebellion he instigated came to an end.

Aburame Torune and a group of Root ninjas loyal to Danzo refused to surrender, leaving Tsunade with no choice but to order their execution.

Aburame Torune, who should have been able to shine brightly, died on what was just an ordinary night for many Konoha people.

Tsunade ignored Danzo, who was imprisoned, at first.

The biggest impact of Danzo's decision to launch a rebellion when he was forced into a corner is on the Shimura clan.

Tsunade must eliminate the Shimura clan in the shortest possible time.

Whether it's bringing someone under her wing or forcibly forcing them to submit, Tsunade must act swiftly and decisively.

However, You Ya is not in a hurry.

Although Yua was extremely interested in Danzo.

Especially now that Danzo wasn't killed by Sasuke but was captured because of his rebellion, many methods can be used.

For example, the most basic...

The secret techniques of the mountain clan...

……

A week passed just like that. While Tsunade and Jiraiya were busy as bees, Yua was not idle either.

He had Sakumo Hatake and Might Guy observe the progress of the teams they led.

After all, they've been here for a week.

The result was somewhat unexpected but also reasonable.

Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and Yoshino Nara adopted a conciliatory policy towards the area undergoing reconstruction.

Simply put, it's about persuading you to do some work or something.

This method isn't wrong, but it's very different from what Youya had in mind.

Might Guy's new generation of Ino-Shika-Cho initially didn't know how to manage them. It wasn't until Nara Shikaku figured it out that they realized they could seek help from their families in this world. They didn't need support; they just needed a list of people in the areas they were managing.

This kind of thing isn't important, and Tsunade doesn't intend to refuse after receiving the message.

Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, and Yamanaka Inoichi are working very hard right now.

However, from You Ya's perspective, the management was still too immature.

Moreover, most of them are managed by work system. If You Ya were to come, then a dynamic supervision system could be implemented, so there would be no need to keep an eye on things here every day.

At the same time, you don't have to limit your focus to your own area.

While this approach could be considered a case of "better safe than sorry," Yuya's expectations for these two teams go far beyond simply "better safe than sorry."

He still wanted to see what these two teams had to offer themselves.

Yuya's Konoha Village is now on the right track, so it's impossible to directly grant a region to these teenagers for practice.

Therefore, this Konoha Village, which was in dire need of rebuilding (literally), was perfect for these young people to practice on.

Although it's a bit unethical to say this, Yua couldn't possibly give his own Konoha Village to these boys he values as a place to grow up.

Breaking bottles and jars is a minor matter; the real concern is that these people might cause trouble and alienate the villagers.

Fortunately, there are no such concerns here.

……

The first major piece of news that came from Danzo Shimura was naturally related to Hashirama Senju.

Although Danzo's Sharingan looked extremely terrifying and was clearly related to the annihilation of the Uchiha clan.

However, in terms of importance, there is no doubt that the information related to the Wood Release techniques used by his body is more important.

Hashirama Senju's cells are not something an ordinary person can obtain.

However, considering the relationship between Danzo Shimura and Tobirama Senju, it doesn't seem that difficult.

Although Danzo Shimura did not want to cooperate with Tsunade's interrogation, and even though he had been captured and knew that his life's desire would never be fulfilled, Danzo did not want to cooperate with Tsunade and confess everything he had done.

For him, since he had already failed, so be it.

However, Yuya was not going to give up on Danzo just because he was being so shameless.

Putting the Uchiha matter aside, Yua could comfort himself that Danzo coveted Wood Release and that he transplanted Hashirama Senju's cells because this was another world, and this Hashirama Senju wasn't the one who saved him.

However, we can't let Danzo get away with what he did to the Uchiha clan.

Of course, Yua didn't want to get involved in the Uchiha clan's affairs; she just wanted to get specific information about a certain person from Danzo.

Yes, it was Obito Uchiha who disguised himself as Madara Uchiha.

It would be best if Danzo had any information about Black Zetsu, but unfortunately he didn't.

It can only be said that Danzo was not very effective as a villain.

Tsunade initially had Ibiki interrogate Danzo.

Ibiki first appeared in the Naruto manga during the Chunin Exams, and he had a nickname like "Torture Expert".

During Pain's attack on Konoha, this "torture expert" used a technique called "Torture Room" against Pain's Animal Path. Simply put, it involved both sides enduring torture to see who could not withstand it first.

However, Payne's Animal Path is a resurrected corpse that has no sense of pain, so unsurprisingly, this "torture expert's" skill failed.

However, Danzo is not Pain. Ibiki is very confident that he can get Danzo to talk.

However, after only one day of torture, Tsunade stopped Ibiki's methods.

In Tsunade's opinion, there was no need to resort to such ruthless methods to obtain information about Danzo.

It's not like Konoha doesn't have its own secret techniques.

In particular, Danzo was completely locked up, and even his mouth was sealed with golden chains, preventing him from even biting his tongue to commit suicide.

In this situation, Danzo becomes an unassailable target.

So...

The secret techniques of the mountain tribe came in handy.

After starving Danzo for a week and preventing him from sleeping, Yamanaka Inoichi used a secret technique of the Yamanaka clan to invade Danzo's mind.

The first target they found was naturally related to Hashirama Senju.

And it was this part of the content that made Youya very satisfied.

This passage explicitly states that Danzo Shimura collaborated with a masked man who called himself "Madara Uchiha," and that Hashirama Senju's cells were provided by this man.

Tsunade's expression suddenly turned ugly.

Konoha Village did have Hashirama Senju's cells, and given Danzo's status and position, even if Danzo had gone to great lengths to obtain the First Hokage's cells from the village, Tsunade would have accepted it.

But now this kind of...

Regardless of whether the so-called "Uchiha Madara" is real or not, what does it mean that the other party was able to provide Hashirama Senju's cells?

This indicates that outside the village, there are people who possess the cells of the First Hokage.

Where did this person get these cells? Is there a traitor in the village? What does this person want to do with these cells?

With so many problems arising one after another, it would be strange if Tsunade didn't look happy.

Yuya also obtained the information she wanted.

But...

come all come...

Seeing how Shimura Danzo was tortured and brainwashed, isn't it a good way to pass the time?

Okay, Yuya admits he just wanted to have some fun.

If this amusement is still related to Danzo Shimura, that would be great.

But the problems that followed were not yet over.

Tsunade then learned another bombshell.

On the night of the Uchiha clan's massacre, that mysterious masked man was actually collecting the Sharingan eyes of the Uchiha clan members...

Ah... Tsunade thought that Danzo had gouged out all the Uchiha clan members' eyes...

The final result was actually like this?

Then Yamanaka Inoichi delved even deeper into Danzo's mind and uncovered a series of dirty deeds Danzo had committed...

Human experiments in collaboration with Orochimaru...

To create the "Root" organization within the shadows...

Brainwashing children, human experimentation...

He collaborated with Orochimaru to develop Wood Release, coveting the cells of the First Hokage...

Tsunade was so angry that she trembled all over.

Any single incident here would make Tsunade want to kill, but Danzo did it all. Not only that, but remembering how this old bastard used to come to the Hokage's office with Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado to pressure her as Hokage, she became furious and even involuntarily thought of a question:

Could those two old geezers have gotten involved too?!

This matter cannot be suppressed.

Putting aside everything else, let's just talk about the organization called "Root" that Danzo himself created.

It has so many children and so many members inside...

Could it be that we killed all of them?

That's impossible; there's no way this could be kept secret.

Of course, Tsunade wasn't going to hide it either.

When Sasuke killed Danzo, Danzo was still able to shout "I was devoted to Konoha" until his death, without thinking that he had done anything wrong, and even believing that he was the best successor to the Hokage.

This way of dying is far too lenient on him.

Because if Sasuke kills Danzo, then Danzo will be recorded as having been assassinated after making every effort to promote the Five Kage Summit.

No matter how many dirty things Danzo did, the village of Konoha and the Hokage would always help him suppress the negative impact.

Because he is a hero, his image should be that of a hero.

Besides, the person is already dead. No matter how many wrong things he did, he's already dead. Can you dig him up?

But the situation is different now.

Danzo's plot to seize the Hokage position was exposed, which completely changed the nature of the situation.

And most importantly...

When Tsunade slapped the relevant information in the faces of advisors Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, their expressions turned incredibly ugly.

But they really had no other choice.

This is indeed a fact. Even though their investigation has cleared them of suspicion of colluding with Danzo, the fact remains that they have been close to Danzo over the years.

Danzo, at this moment, is undoubtedly the biggest piece of shit in Konoha.

Anyone who gets even the slightest contact with him will be implicated.

Tsunade and Jiraiya are uncovering more and more dirt on Danzo.

The whereabouts of the masked man who took the Sharingan on the night of the Uchiha clan massacre remains unknown.

Tsunade and Jiraiya could only secretly raise the overall defense level of Konoha.

Then one day, Yamanaka Inoichi unearthed another secret from Danzo's mind...

Danzo once collaborated with Hanzo of the Land of Rain, resulting in the death of the leader of the Akatsuki organization, which had just been established at the time...

And that leader...

That's Yahiko.

Jiraiya was stunned when he heard the news.

Then he instantly connected this intelligence with reality.

"This can't be right!" Jiraiya suddenly realized, "Yahiko... he wasn't... wasn't he the one who attacked Konoha before?! How could he have died so long ago?!"

Tsunade, on the other hand, was also somewhat incredulous.

after all……

Actually, Yahiko...

She remembered it too...

........................

"Wow, as expected of the Hokage's strength... That Danzo was taken down so easily~" A masked man wearing a black robe with auspicious cloud patterns stood atop the Hokage Rock in Konoha, looking down at the villagers who were busily rebuilding Konoha. A hint of nostalgia appeared in his eyes, which he quickly concealed.

"Hmm, let me see...where is Shimura Danzo being held?"

The masked man, who had placed his hand on his forehead, was looking around when he turned his head and found that a figure had appeared beside him without him noticing.

"Whoa! You scared me to death!" The masked man made a lot of movements, as if he was really startled.

Yua looked at the other person with a smile. Although she knew that the person under the mask was Obito, Yua certainly couldn't say it directly.

So he simply looked at the other person and said softly, "The information shared between the Hokage and me indicates that the masked Akatsuki member... it seems to be you?"

Obito, wearing a spiral mask, chuckled: "Ah, I'm just a newcomer who joined Akatsuki a few days ago. I'm not really that famous."

Oh, by the way, my name is Afei, hello hello~

Yuya ignored Obito's antics and calmly asked, "Danzo said you are Uchiha Madara?"

"..."

Obito's movements suddenly froze on the spot.

He then shook his head helplessly, retracting his previous flippant tone, and said in a deep voice, "I knew it... Danzo is indeed not trustworthy at all."

You Ya smiled slightly: "Whether he's funny or not, I don't know, but..."

It's said that your strength is comparable to that of the First Hokage...

As a disciple of the First Hokage... I'd like to test my abilities. What do you think?

As Yuya spoke, he took out the Hokage's hat from behind his back and put it on his head: "Let me introduce myself..."

I am the Third Hokage from another world, and also a disciple of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju... You can call me...

"God Gold Youya."

……

Ultimately, the battle did not take place.

In reality, neither Yua nor Obito wanted to fight.

Needless to say, Yuya knew that the person in front of him was not Uchiha Madara. Therefore, Yuya's words and actions naturally had a specific purpose.

However, in order to ensure "reasonableness," Yuya had to find a seemingly plausible reason to negotiate with Obito.

The reason for going through all this trouble was, of course, to tell Obito...

I am from another world.

As for the purpose of this... I'll talk about it later.

Looking at Obito, his reason for not wanting to fight is even simpler: one of his eyes is still with Kakashi, and before his eyes are restored, Obito's strength is significantly reduced.

Furthermore, Susanoo cannot be activated.

Given this context, Obito had absolutely no need to fight a Kage-level powerhouse.

Even though he felt that with his spatial abilities, he wouldn't lose.

It's just unnecessary.

Some people might ask, if that's the case, then why did Obito come to Konoha Village for no reason? Was he just there to enjoy the scenery?

Ah, so this was Obito's original purpose.

So what was Obito originally supposed to do when he came to Konoha?

Very simple.

He came to kill Danzo.

After receiving news of Danzo's capture, Obito immediately rushed to Konoha.

The reason they were in such a hurry was indeed because Danzo knew a lot.

However, it seems now...

Even if they came to Konoha, they wanted to find an opportunity to kill Danzo...

It's not that easy to find.

Regardless of whether Danzo and Obito were connected, for Obito, the reason why Danzo had to die was very simple.

Danzo knew too much.

The important thing is...

Tsunade isn't a brainless idiot like Jiraiya. If she were to find out things she shouldn't know...

The conclusion he drew might be hard for him to accept.

However, they were discovered the moment they arrived.

Although Obito ran away immediately, it did not prevent him from raising his level of commitment to protecting Konoha.

Against this backdrop, Obito sought an opportunity to assassinate Danzo while simultaneously gathering intelligence to ascertain the extent of Tsunade's knowledge.

Fortunately, the situation is still under control.

Although Danzo was utterly corrupt, Tsunade didn't know much about him.

This is probably related to the fact that Obito had never had much contact with Danzo in order to maintain his mystery.

Although Tsunade obtained Danzo's method of contacting Obito from him, Obito naturally understood that if anyone tried to contact him using this method, it was definitely a trap and he would never pay attention to it.

However, it's possible that it could be used in the opposite direction, so Obito wasn't in a hurry.

Danzo knew little else. He had tried to investigate Obito's true identity, but aside from a vague connection to Madara Uchiha, he knew nothing else.

Even so, Obito knew he couldn't continue like this.

If this continues, Tsunade might actually figure something out...

That would be the real end...

Fortunately...

His helpers arrived too...

Black Zetsu is able to blend perfectly into any environment.

When Black Zetsu, wrapped in Obito, arrived before Danzo, Danzo's tormented spirit seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

The secret techniques of the mountain clan come at a price; they might turn someone into an idiot before even getting any information.

Fortunately, Yamanaka Inoichi was skilled, and Danzo had a lot of things to dig up, so Yamanaka Inoichi decided to do it in batches since he couldn't finish it all at once.

This continued intermittently for more than a month.

Even so, there are still many things that haven't been unearthed.

Yamanaka Inoichi felt they could take it slow, but Obito couldn't wait any longer.

The moment Black Zetsu arrived in Konoha, Obito had him brought here.

Danzo saw that Obito's eyes were smiling.

It wasn't until he saw Black Zetsu turn into a puddle of mud and slowly wrap around his body that he realized something was wrong.

Furthermore, Black Zetsu removed the Sharingan eyes from his arms, even his right eye...

He stole the Sharingan from Shisui, which possessed the divine technique Kotoamatsukami...

It was also taken down by Black Zetsu...

Danzo Shimura struggled, wanting to roar in despair, but with his mouth bound by chains and filled with iron balls, he could only let out angry whimpers...

Obito wanted to say something, but after hearing footsteps approaching, he decisively had Black Zetsu take him for a yo-yo ride.

As for Danzo...

Without his Sharingan and unable to use Izanagi, he had no chance of withstanding Obito's space-tearing attack before he left...

And so, Danzo finally met his end in this dark, damp, and sunless dungeon...

……

But you think that's all?!

of course not!

Yua, who had been sipping tea and slacking off in the Hokage's office, immediately laughed when she heard someone report Danzo's death to the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade.

Tsunade and Jiraiya felt somewhat melancholy.

Moreover, the fact that someone was able to infiltrate the Konoha prison and kill Danzo sent a chill down their spines.

This shows that the Xiao Organization is far more complex than it appears.

And now, Danzo was killed without anyone knowing.

If it weren't for the guards in Danzo's cell being observant and overhearing his struggles, Danzo might have been completely obliterated instead of being left with a whole corpse.

Since things had come to this point, Youya proposed the idea of making use of waste.

Since Danzo is dead, and it's obvious that someone is stirring up trouble in the shadows, it's better to make it public and severely suppress their arrogance.

Tsunade and Jiraiya initially refused.

However, when the elders of the Shimura clan sent people to collect Danzo's body, Tsunade and Jiraiya understood.

If they don't do certain things, others might just treat them as if they never happened.

There is no way to hide the things Danzo did.

Since that's the case, rather than letting the villagers suspect that the Hokage is deliberately suppressing these matters, it's better to just make it public now.

So, Danzo Shimura's body was placed in a coffin and taken to the center of Konoha Village, which was now in ruins, to be exposed for three days.

The weather was quite fitting for the three days: one day it was sunny and cloudless, one day it rained with lightning and thunder, and one day it was overcast with thunder rumbling.

It was as if Danzo was being judged.

Danzo's deeds were also announced by Tsunade through a Hokage decree.

The villagers of Konoha were outraged. Many said that letting Danzo die like this was too easy for him! He should be tortured further!

Danzo Shimura dedicated his entire life to becoming Hokage.

After his death, all the villagers of Konoha Village deeply resented him.

I wonder what Danzo, if he knew this from beyond the grave, would think of it?

And this is the way Yua believes Danzo should die.

Is it merely a matter of physical death and the annihilation of one's spiritual essence?

That won't do.

The right answer is to be infamous for eternity!

........................

For Youya, he had achieved half of his goal by now.

Therefore, he asked Tsunade to let him go.

Tsunade was somewhat embarrassed by this.

After all, when Yuya came to her, he not only helped her give suggestions on rebuilding Konoha Village, but these were not just empty words; they were real and feasible plans.

Many of the completed renovations in Konoha Village were based on Yua's designs.

And what about Yuya herself?

Because Yua is from another world, he cannot show himself or run around. This has nothing to do with trust or distrust; it's just the most basic point: Tsunade is the Hokage, so she has to be suspicious of him.

Of course, Yuya himself was very cooperative.

Moreover, the teams led by Sakumo Hatake and Might Guy were very cooperative.

This made Tsunade instantly realize that her side had been too overly defensive.

Tsunade then said, "Thank you very much for your help. If there's anything I can do to help..."

You Ya smiled mysteriously and took out the paper for studying abroad that he had had for several months.

Tsunade immediately shook her head, indicating that Konoha Village was in dire need of reconstruction and it was impossible to send elite ninjas like Kakashi and Yamato out of the village.

You Ya smiled and said that if the high-end ones didn't work, the low-end ones would also be fine.

If all else fails...

Even ordinary villagers can do it.

Tsunade felt there was a trap in Yua's words, but after careful consideration, she realized it wasn't like he wasn't coming back; he was just sending some low-ranking ninja and ordinary villagers...

This will also relieve the pressure on Konoha Village.

After all, Konoha Village is being rebuilt, and many things are still in need of being done. Many conflicts are unavoidable. Rather than that, it would be better to send several groups of people to live in another Konoha Village for a period of time. Once Konoha Village is rebuilt, it would not be too late to let these people return.

Tsunade thought there was no problem with it, so she signed the memorandum with Yua.

With this in hand, Youya had absolutely no reason to stay here any longer.

Although it's a bit disappointing not to find the one-against-seven, finding Obito is still acceptable.

When Tsunade and Jiraiya saw Yua off from the village.

Yuya chatted casually with Hatake Sakumo without any hesitation.

"Phew, I can finally go back. It's only been less than three months since I came out, but it feels like several years have passed." Yuya looked at Hatake Sakumo with a grin, glancing around at the corner of her eye.

Although he couldn't accurately capture the figure, Yuya was certain that Obito was secretly watching this place.

Whether viewed from the perspective of the threat posed by Yua, or from the significance of Yua leaving Konoha, Obito will definitely come to confirm whether Yua has truly left Konoha.

So, although it was deliberate, Yua didn't try to hide anything. Instead, she asked Hatake Sakumo in a normal voice, "Your son's name is Kakashi, right? He's old enough to start kindergarten this year, so which kindergarten are you planning to send him to?"

Although Sakumo Hatake found it a bit strange, there was nothing wrong with the question itself; it was just casual conversation.

Moreover, now that he's leaving Konoha and returning to his own village, Sakumo Hatake is genuinely quite excited.

He missed his wife and children.

However, Yuya's question brought him back to reality.

Yes, he had been thinking about it back in the village, but he'd been so busy these past two months that he'd almost forgotten. But his son…

Kakashi Hatake is five years old this year, and it's time for him to go to school.

"Hmm... I haven't decided yet, Hokage-sama. What do you think of the kindergarten that the Hyuga clan has opened?"

Yuya remained noncommittal: "From my perspective, they're all pretty much the same. But I remember your home is in the South District, right? That's a bit far from Hyuga Kindergarten. You might as well choose a kindergarten in the South District, or the Southeast District would also be fine. Hmm, but the Southeast District is a bit close to the Uchiha clan's territory. As you know, many members of the Uchiha clan have left the clan over the years. There are also Uchiha clan members at the Southeast Kindergarten."

As he spoke, Yuya glanced around discreetly before saying, "I heard that a family of ninja from the Uchiha clan left their clan territory to live in the inner city, just so their child could attend kindergarten, since there are no such facilities in the Uchiha clan territory."

Sakumo Hatake was somewhat surprised: "There's such a thing? They really are... very nice parents."

"Ah, their child's name is Uchiha Obito. I took a peek at him when I went to the hospital last time. He's quite cute. I hope he's an Uchiha genius."

"Uchiha... Obito? So, Hokage-sama, you recommended me to go here?"

"It doesn't matter. Nancheng Kindergarten and Southeast Kindergarten aren't far apart. But if you're looking at the teaching staff, I'd still choose Southeast Kindergarten. Let me tell you a secret, but don't tell anyone: the principal of Southeast Kindergarten used to be a team leader in the secret service, but he retired due to an injury. I wanted to put him in the clerical work group, but he resigned after a month. He couldn't stay idle, so he opened this kindergarten..."

So, you understand, right? With a principal like that, you definitely don't need to worry about the children's safety.

Sakumo Hatake's eyes lit up immediately.

Matt Day was also deep in thought.

Speaking of which...

Kai is old enough to go to kindergarten...

However, my home is in Xicheng District, which is quite far from Southeast Kindergarten...

After thinking for a moment, Matt Damon smacked his palm: "Oh right, why don't I just buy a house in the South District?"

Although Konoha's housing prices have been rising, Yuya has been keeping them down. Currently, the most expensive housing prices are in the North City, followed by the West City, and then the South City and East City are about the same.

Mighty's monthly salary is normally around 800,000 taels, but that's the general situation. Basically, Mighty is always assigned some task by Yuya every month, so it's normal for him to earn as little as 1 million taels and as much as 1.5 million taels at times.

Then, Mighty wasn't one to squander money. He had been working under Youya for several years and had already saved over ten million taels.

Although buying a house is still a bit difficult, if it doesn't work out, there's always a mortgage. Anyway, with his ability, he can pay off the rest in a year.

With that in mind, the group chatted and laughed as they embarked on their return journey.

After they left, a masked figure slowly emerged from the air.

He heard something...

The name that gave him such a complicated look...

Kakashi...

So, in that world, Kakashi was already at the age of starting kindergarten...

Um?and many more!

Kakashi is only of kindergarten age...

that……

So...

Then it should be...

So...she...should...
