The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Ten minutes later.

The Third Hokage arrived at the scene with a large number of Anbu ninjas and guards.

He fell silent, gazing at the scene inside the broken earthen wall.

The air was thick with the stench of blood; pieces of flesh were scattered everywhere—a severed hand here, a severed leg there…

Danzo crawled out of the ruins, looking utterly disheveled.

Seeing the Third Hokage and a group of ninjas outside, he was furious.

He was peacefully staying at Root when he was suddenly attacked. The entire Root base was destroyed, most of the Root ninjas were killed, and his right arm was severed!

What's most hateful is the killer's last shout.

What the hell?

I have tried to harm ninjas from my own village before, but that was a long time ago.

There has been no such order this month, at least.

Isn't your reaction a bit slow? You're only seeking revenge after a month?

Many people heard that roar. The scene was obscured by the earthwork, but just by listening to the sound, one could tell it was filled with sorrow and hatred.

Seeing the questioning looks on everyone else's faces, and even his old partner, the Third Hokage, looking at him with an expression that seemed to say, "What on earth did you do?", Danzo almost vomited blood.

"Cough cough, Danzo, what exactly happened? The commotion just now was felt throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village."

It was the third generation who broke the silence.

While asking about what happened, I reminded him just how loud the commotion had been.

Stop making excuses, just tell me everything.

Danzo couldn't hold back any longer and coughed up blood.

He was already seriously injured, and now he was even weaker.

"I don't!

I didn't do anything.

I was just sitting at the base when I was suddenly attacked.

I know nothing about it!

Just as Danzo finished his explanation, a Root ninja stepped forward and reported what he had found during his inspection of the scene.

"Lord Hokage."

"explain."

Seeing that Danzo refused to admit his mistake and continued to argue, the Third Hokage was also a little annoyed. "You're going too far by lying through your teeth."

Okay, if you won't tell us, then let the Dark Guard do it. Listen carefully.

"Lord Hokage, according to the investigation just now, the people at the scene are all Root ninjas."

As he spoke, the ANBU ninja glanced at Danzo and added a sentence.

“They are all Root ninjas; there is not a trace of any other ninjas.”

Danzo exclaimed, "Impossible!"

"The explosion just now should have come from the culprit, and the violent chakra that filled the scene should also be his. We just found his body based on this."

He was wearing a mask characteristic of Root, and his physical condition also indicated that he had been trained by Root.

This sentence practically implies that the murderer is a Root ninja.

Danzo was also incredulous and dumbfounded.

How could they possibly be Root ninjas?

The roots themselves have been sealed with cursed marks; it's impossible for them to betray us!

However, he also understood the situation of his own roots. The training process was unique, with a cruel elimination system and special secret medicine that could not be imitated.

If it weren't for so many ninjas present, the Third Hokage wouldn't have allowed the Anbu to lie through their teeth; Danzo would have thought the Anbu ninja was just spouting nonsense.

Also, how come I didn't know I had such a powerful ninja under my command?

Danzo's mind is almost completely blank right now.

At this moment, Uchiha Kai's questioning delivered a fatal blow.

"Lord Hokage, I don't care about anything else. I just want to know if it's true that the murderer just shouted that Danzo attacked a fellow villager."

Our Uchiha clan has had several instances where we inexplicably lost several ninjas.

Other ninja clans are too.

What else can the third generation say?

This is true. Even if Danzo hasn't done it recently, he did do it before, and it seems he did quite a lot.

Listen to this; Uchiha added at the end that other ninja clans also have similar situations.

How many other ninja clans are there?

If we're talking about the most famous ones in Konoha, there must be seven or eight of them, right?

If each ninja clan loses one ninja, that adds up to seven or eight ninjas!

In fact, Uchiha Kai had previously thought that these were just conflicts between their own ninja clans, and that the loss of a few ninjas must have been caused by other clans.

But this time, the murderer's shout of "targeting fellow villagers" gave him a wake-up call.

These things might not have been done secretly by the various tribes, but by Danzo!

What could Danzo say?

He really did do it.

He has been working to sow discord among different tribes and weaken their power ever since he founded the Root.

But when it's brought up in connection with this incident, Danzo is really going crazy.

The culprit is a ninja from my Root organization, and what the culprit said has a basis, meaning that I was the one who caused this incident.

I, the King of Konoha, can't be blamed like this!

Having been beaten up and then forced to take the blame for him, Danzo felt utterly disgusted.

The clone guessed that Danzo must have done such things, and probably quite a lot, which is why it shouted those words, trying to frame Danzo for this incident.

Otherwise, if Konoha continues to investigate, it might actually lead them to their own original body, which would be bad.

So someone has to take the blame.

This task naturally belongs to none other than the King of Pots.

This body originally belonged to a Root ninja, and with his own words, he ended up dying with no way to prove it.

Danzo is really going to have to take the blame for this.

Danzo also figured out the key point. He was already seriously injured and had just vomited blood from anger, making him extremely weak. At this moment, he fainted due to emotional excitement.

The Root ninjas nearby rushed to help him up, and everyone looked at the Third Hokage, waiting for his instructions.

The situation on site was really getting out of control.

The third generation is also having a headache because of this serious incident. This time, they have to suppress it no matter what.

We're still at war with the Land of Wind, so we can't afford to have a large-scale internal conflict.

"First, send Danzo to the hospital for treatment, then send someone to appease the villagers. There are some things that can't be said, so just say it was done by Sunagakure spies."

Furthermore, seal off the scene; we'll discuss other matters after Danzo wakes up.

Seeing that Uchiha was about to say something more, the Third Hokage quickly interrupted him.

"Uchiha, there are some things I will have Danzo give you an explanation for."

This statement is essentially saying that Danzo was responsible for those things.

Uchiha Kai, being sensible, did not press the matter further.

The general outline of the incident was quickly relayed to the various clans, and the Third Hokage promised to give everyone an explanation.

The Hokage has made a promise, so even if the various clans are dissatisfied, they can't say anything more at this point.

The last time this topic was brought up was over a year ago, when Nawaki died. The Senju clan stirred it up, pushing all the blame onto the rogue ninja of Kirigakure. Danzo insisted that Root had gone to rescue them, which was how he managed to evade the issue.

This time it wasn't so easy to resolve. It happened directly in the village, and the whole village felt the commotion. The loud shout also traveled far and wide, reaching quite a few ninjas.

With such a significant impact, calming things down this time will be quite difficult.

Chapter Ninety-Six Returning to the Village

The ninjas, far away on the front lines of the war, were unaware that a major event had occurred in the village.

Danzo, the elder of Konoha, was attacked. His own village and territory were attacked, and he suffered heavy losses!

This news was so explosive that the Konoha leadership tried their best to suppress it.

The fact that Danzo had harmed the villagers was kept strictly under wraps, and no one was allowed to spread the word.

Only the ninjas at the level of the heads of each clan received the message from their clans on the entire front line.

Orochimaru only learned of this information from Tsunade after noticing something amiss.

Such a major event should not have been disclosed to someone like Uchiha Kiyoshi, who possessed elite Jonin-level combat skills but held a low-ranking position.

However, because of the grudge between Uchiha Kiyoshi and Danzo, Orochimaru still chose to mention it to him.

Uchiha Kiyoshi never expected this incident to escalate to such a huge extent. It should be noted that the part where the framing was ultimately added by a clone at the last minute.

I suddenly remembered Danzo's nickname, "King of the Leaf Village Pot," and thought I should give it some value.

The results were unexpectedly outstanding.

As for how big the trouble gets, that's not what Uchiha Kiyoshi cares about. He only cares about one thing: if Danzo is unhappy, then he's happy.

According to the memories transmitted by the clone, Danzo's right arm was severed by the clone in the end, and he also faced the explosion of all the chakra of one of his shadow clones. It is estimated that he will not be able to recover for several months.
