Chapter 97 The Trial Begins, And The Shisui Attack Is Exposed!

Konoha's Jōnin, including the special Jōnin, are almost all gathered here.

Before, although Konoha was caught off guard by Sunagakure and Yinnin Village, the Konoha Shinobi reacted quickly and started repelling the enemy. The major ninja clans also joined the fight. The Sand Shinobi and Otonin Village ninjas who came to Konoha are now mostly under control.

Then, Konoha Jōnins suddenly received a message from Anbu, requesting them to go to the examination room for the Chūnin exam. They didn't think much about it and assumed Third Hokage was calling them. However, upon arriving, they saw an unexpected scene.

Sunagakure's tail beast, One Tail Shukaku, was in the empty examination room with two people sitting on top of Shukaku. Jōnin Hatake Kakashi emerged with Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō. The Konoha Jōnin were stunned. What happened? Why did these two great figures look so miserable? Sarutobi Hiruzen had blood on his mouth, broken arms, and a slightly collapsed chest. Shimura Danzō was missing his right arm and right eye, with his body full of scars.

"Hello everyone," Sasuke greeted the Konoha Shinobi followers with a smile. "Many of you may not know me. My name is Uchiha Sasuke; most of you should have heard of me." The Konoha Shinobi understood. After the Uchiha clan was exterminated, only one orphan from the original No. 1 Konoha clan remained. As Jōnin, they all knew this.

"Uchiha Sasuke?! What are you doing? Did you hurt Master Hokage like this?" "Hatake Kakashi, did you kidnap Hokage-sama?" "Are you with Sunagakure and Otonin Village?!" someone angrily retorted.

Boom! Shukaku raised his leg and stomped down. The Konoha Shinobi, who were clamoring, immediately stopped talking. "Aren't you brainless? Shukaku is in my hands. How dare you talk to me like that? Do you think I won't kill you?" Sasuke glared at the Konoha Shinobi followers with his Sharingan. 

Everyone immediately fell quiet, realizing the situation. The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan could control the tailed beast. If Uchiha Sasuke wanted to do something, few of them would be able to escape. Sasuke smiled with satisfaction seeing this response. The oppression of the tailed beast was indeed effective. Otherwise, he might have had to release Susanoo and kill a group of people first to calm them down.

Seeing that everyone was obedient, Sasuke said, "It seems that you all still want to live. That's right. I don't want to kill anyone right now. I'm notifying everyone to come over because I hope you can witness this with me. Witness the truth that Konoha has concealed for decades."

The Jōnin whispered among themselves, with some already guessing what Sasuke was going to reveal. "In case you don't believe me, I can show you something first." Sasuke took out a seal scroll, unsealed it, and an arm appeared. "This arm, which I cut off from Shimura Danzō, has ten Three Tomoe Sharingan on it. Why does Danzō have so many Sharingan from our Uchiha family? You can imagine for yourselves!"

The Konoha Shinobi followers were shocked. Ten Sharingan, all Three Tomoe! The Uchiha clan living outside the Sharingan was rare, except for examples like Hatake Kakashi. Yet, the root organization leader Shimura Danzō had so many Sharingan! What did this mean? It implied that the village recovered the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan after the clan was wiped out, or the village's high-level people participated in the Uchiha genocide. Thinking of this possibility, many people shuddered.

"That's right, it seems that you all want to know the truth now." Sasuke felt happy seeing their reaction. "Mr. Kakashi, you can wake these two old things up. We need them to tell us the truth."

Kakashi's methods were rough. Crack! Crack! Two slaps on the faces of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō. The Konoha Shinobi readers were dumbfounded. Is this the Hatake Kakashi they knew? Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō woke up faintly. Looking at the group of people in front of them, they were confused. What happened? Weren't they captured alive by Uchiha Sasuke before?

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, I told you about the real cruelty," Sasuke said, smiling. Sarutobi Hiruzen raged, recalling what Uchiha Sasuke did to him before. "You guys, as Hokage, I order you to capture Uchiha Sasuke!"

Everyone there was Jōnin of Konoha. They could definitely capture Uchiha Sasuke. However, no one moved. "Karin, if someone acts rashly, control Shukaku and trample them to death," Sasuke said to Karin on top of Shukaku.

"Yes, Master Sasuke!" Karin replied immediately. At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen noticed Shukaku. One Tail was controlled by Uchiha Sasuke! No wonder no one acted.

"Then, the Konoha Judgment Conference can begin." 

"The trial objects are Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō. At the same time, they will also act as witnesses. I will use my Sharingan to make them tell the truth." Sasuke announced to the Konoha Jōnins.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō were livid. Torture them? In front of so many people to judge them? Damn Uchiha Sasuke! Sarutobi Hiruzen now understood the real cruelty Sasuke spoke of.

Sasuke looked at a few people in the crowd and said, "In this trial conference, there are three things to do: truth, truth, and... truth! To ensure this, I will allow supervision."

"Hyuga patriarch, please use your Byakugan to supervise their brains." "Patriarch Yamanaka, you are good at reading brains and memories. Please help supervise."

In the crowd, Hyuga Hiashi and Yamanaka were taken aback. After a moment of thought, they walked up with stern faces. They didn't believe Uchiha Sasuke dared do anything to them.

"This bastard abducted their daughters several years ago!"

"And at the same time!"

"This person has a close relationship with multiple girls!"

"No matter what they tell their daughters, it doesn't work!"

"I'm so angry!"

Nara Lujiu: "This kid... really knows how to pick people..."

Hyuga Hiashi's Byakugan can monitor abnormal chakra in the brain. As for Yamanaka Haiyi, the Yamanaka family's secret technique is excellent at reading memories. If we only look at abilities, these two people are very suitable candidates for supervisors.

But!

Both of them have a fairly close relationship with Uchiha Sasuke. This is very interesting.

Jiraiya: "It seems that being a scumbag has its benefits..."

For Jin Sasuke, the future son-in-law of the two wealthy patriarchs, they would not oppose him over things like this. Otherwise, the two of them will not pass the test of their own daughters after returning home.

Hyuga Hiashi: "This damn brat!"

Yamanaka Haiyi: "This hateful brat!"

Orochimaru: "Hehe, although there is some ambiguity in the selection of supervisors, Kim Sasuke has done his best. I am afraid no one will question the results of the torture."

Onoki: "This has never happened before in the ninja world. All the Jōnin witnessed, tortured, and tried the shadow of a village in public! Sarutobi, are you honored?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen: ""

I'm proud of your mother's size!

Fourth Raikage: "It's pretty good, it's not dirty. I think everyone should also want to know what the Third Hokage has done these years."

A golden frame appeared on the screen, continuing to play.

"The first item, about the Uchiha clan."

"Where do I start... Well, on the night of Nine Tails, Shimura Danzo ordered the Uchiha clan to help the villagers evacuate. Danzo, is this the truth? What do you think?"

Sasuke stares at Danzo and asks.

Danzo snorted coldly, turned his head, and refused to answer.

He will not cooperate with Uchiha Sasuke in doing such a humiliating thing!

"Tsk, I gave you a chance to answer well, but you didn't take it. This forces me to use Sharingan."

Sasuke shook his head, Sharingan activated, and repeated the question again.

Shimura Danzo, losing his defiance, said dully:

"...Yes, I suspected that the breaking of Nine Tails had something to do with Uchiha, and the evil Uchiha should not be allowed to touch Nine Tails."

Konoha Shinobi fans began talking about it. They all knew about the Sharingan pattern appearing in Nine Tails' eyes during the attack.

Sasuke nodded and said:

"Nine Tails may indeed be manipulated by people using Sharingan, and I have also proved with facts that Sharingan can indeed control tailed beasts."

Konoha Shinobi watched the guardian crane with the Sharingan pattern in his eyes and nodded in agreement.

"However," Sasuke changed the subject, "Because of this, I refused to let the Uchiha clan stop Nine Tails. It was because of Shimura Danzo that you didn't trust the Uchiha clan!"

"Moreover, because of your decision, many villagers accused the Uchiha clan of not contributing during the Nine Tails Rebellion!"

"The conflict between the Uchiha clan and ordinary villagers wasn't that big at first, but it started to intensify little by little after this!"

Sasuke took a deep breath, controlling his emotions, and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen:

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, having Anbu monitor the Uchiha tribe 24 hours a day, was this your decision?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned: "That's Danzo's proposal..."

"Really?" Sasuke interrupted, "Then why is Anbu, directly under Hokage, not the root of Danzo, monitoring Uchiha?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.

Ohnoki: "Danzo is just a black glove for Sarutobi to do dirty work. Those stupid Konoha Shinobi can't see that clearly!"

Orochimaru: "Sensei Sarutobi wants to maintain the glorious Hokage image, but someone needs to do the dirty work, so this guy Danzo has done so many outrageous things, but his status has always been solid."

Iruka: "Is that so..."

He felt that the image of the Third Hokage in his mind was about to collapse...

"From the Nine Tails Rebellion in Konoha 48 to the extinction of the Uchiha clan in Konoha 55, it took seven years. Anbu monitored the Uchiha clan for seven years!"

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, let me ask you, did Anbu find out anything in such a long time? Did they find the murderer who caused the Nine Tails Rebellion?"

Sasuke stares at Sarutobi Hiruzen and asks.

"...No."

Sarutobi Hiruzen replied helplessly. Instead of being tortured by Sharingan, it was better for him to answer on his own initiative.

"But Anbu's surveillance was not revoked, right! Even, the surveillance of the Uchiha clan was replaced by your most trusted Sarutobi clan! Sarutobi Hiruzen, why did you keep monitoring the Uchiha tribe? What was your purpose?!"

Sasuke didn't wait for Sarutobi Hiruzen to answer, and launched the Sharingan directly!

"I was worried that the Uchiha clan would launch a coup, and I had to use Anbu to monitor their movements."

Sarutobi Hiruzen replied mechanically.

Boom!

The voices of the Konoha Shinobi players were noisy. Did the Third Hokage really think so? Anbu's surveillance wasn't to find out the murderer of the Nine Tails Rebellion, but because he was worried that the Uchiha clan might launch a coup and take away his Hokage position?!

Uchiha Madara: "I don't understand those Uchihas in Konoha. Why aren't they more direct and decisive when they want a coup? A bunch of trash!"

Uchiha Fugaku: scolded again...

Namikaze Minato: "Lord Third Generation, you thought so..."

Orochimaru: "Hehe, Minato, why do you think you became Hokage? Isn't it because you being Fourth Hokage had the least influence on Sarutobi Sensei's power?"

"If I were to become Fourth Hokage with my team, Sarutobi Hiruzen's power would be greatly affected. But you, Minato, who was only in your early twenties at that time, had a limited team. Naturally, your influence on Sarutobi Hiruzen's power would be much smaller."

Namikaze Minato: "..."

Fourth Raikage: "Konoha is really dirty!"

"Next question, Uchiha Shisui, what happened before he died? Why were both his eyes missing from his body?"

Upon hearing this, Danzo's expression changed!

"Hehe, Danzo, it seems that the owner of your Mangekyō is probably Uchiha Shisui."

Sasuke sneers, Sharingan eyes Danzo!

Danzo, controlled, started telling about Uchiha Shisui.

"The Uchiha family might launch a coup, so Uchiha Shisui intended to use the pupil technique Kotoamatsukami to control Uchiha Fugaku at the rally and make him give up the coup!"

"And before that, I summoned Uchiha Shisui in private, attacked him, and took away one eye!"

"However, Shisui, with his blinking technique, escaped in the end."

The next day, news of Uchiha Shisui's death came out. After leaving a suicide note, Uchiha Shisui's body was salvaged from the Nanchuan River.
