Chapter 7 You Regret My Shadow
Underground of Konoha.
A large number of ninjas were walking around, with almost no communication between them. The atmosphere was depressing and silent.
Like a huge machine running tirelessly.
Uchiha Shisui walked in it very naturally, and no one stopped him.
Boom boom boom.
Soon, he knocked on the door of a room.
"Come in." A hoarse voice came from the room, like gravel mixed with ice cubes stirring. Just listening to the sound made people feel uncomfortable.
Shisui pushed the door open and walked into the room.
Only Danzo was sitting at the head of the room.
At this time, Danzo had not yet loaded himself with all those messy things, so he still looked like a human being.
"Shisui, did you get any information from this clan meeting?" Danzo asked while looking at the information in his hand.
The tone was as normal as if he was asking a junior about his studies.
Shisui was silent for a long time before he asked, "Danzo-sama, what do you think of the Uchiha clan?"
Fugaku's words finally caused some hesitation in his heart.
After asking the question, he stared at Danzo. If Danzo lied, he would definitely be able to find the flaw.
Danzo raised his brows slightly and looked up at Shisui without a trace of guilt.
"Why do you suddenly ask such a question? Is there any more bad rumors about me in the clan?"
Danzo sighed, "The Uchiha clan has a deep misunderstanding of the village. Jing wanted to break the barriers between us, but he failed in the end. Shisui, I hope you can inherit your grandfather's will. I will help you."
From Danzo's perspective, Shisui couldn't see any flaws.
Either Danzo's acting skills were so superb that they deceived his perception, or Danzo was telling the truth.
Shisui prefers the latter.
As an Uchiha, although he usually appears gentle and kind, he is actually extremely arrogant and confident inside.
He trusts his perception.
It seems that Lord Fugaku was wrong.
Shisui heaved a sigh of relief.
With a smile on his face, Shisui said, "Thank you, Danzo-sama. I will carry on my grandfather's will and become the bridge between the village and the clan."
After saying that, he did not stay any longer and left the root in a few flashes.
Although he felt that Danzo was a senior he could trust, Shisui did not leak the plan discussed at the clan meeting.
If Lord Danzo knew about this, the situation would only become more serious and the misunderstanding would deepen.
It's better to find a way to solve it yourself.
Bang!
As soon as Shisui left, Danzo's old face suddenly turned dark.
"As expected, you are an evil Uchiha. Even the descendant of Kagami is so annoying. You actually tried to test me."
"Judging from his reaction, it seems that the Uchiha clan already knows that I took their bodies. I wonder if they will take any further action."
"Take the darkness." Danzo called out coldly.
In the darkness, Aburame walked out slowly.
"Increase surveillance of the Uchiha clan."
"Yes." Aburame said without hesitation.
He seemed to have no idea that the person he was monitoring was Konoha's largest clan.
"Evil Uchiha clan, I will destroy you all sooner or later." Danzo whispered and said no more.
…
"Have you heard? Hokage has a teammate from the same period, Danzo, who has been conducting evil human experiments."
"Of course I heard about it. Not only Danzo, I heard that Lord Orochimaru is also doing it?"
"Ah? This is impossible? How could Lord Orochimaru do such a thing?"
"You little kids are too naive. The Third Hokage's teacher, the Second Hokage, started conducting human experiments. His name as the master of forbidden techniques spread throughout the ninja world, and everyone was terrified."
…
The Uchiha clan is in charge of the Konoha Village's security team, so it's actually easier for them to stir up public opinion than it is for Danzo's Root.
They have their own prison, similar to a detention center, specifically for detaining ordinary villagers.
Just mention it casually in prison and someone will naturally help spread the word.
Just like that, it didn't take long before the news that the Hokage's lineage was conducting human experiments quickly spread throughout the village.
The old men also recalled the bad reputation of the Second Hokage's master of forbidden techniques and told it to the young people, which further confirmed the bad reputation of the Hokage lineage.
Bang!
Danzo slammed open the door to the Hokage's office.
"Hiruzen, you know everything that's happened recently, right? The Uchiha have gone too far! In my opinion, they should just expel this evil clan."
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was used to his old friend's behavior and took a long puff of the cigarette.
The smoke made the whole office a bit smoky.
"The Uchiha clan was fine before, how could they suddenly do such a thing? It's you who stole their bodies!"
It was hard to tell whether Hiruzen was happy or angry in his muffled voice. He seemed to be complaining, but he didn't seem angry either.
Danzo's momentum stagnated, and then he argued cunningly: "I want their bodies to be useful even after death, all for Konoha."
"In short, the Uchiha clan has gone too far this time. We must punish them severely!"
Hiruzen stood up, turned his back to Danzo and looked at the village, his brows deeply furrowed.
He also felt that the Uchiha clan was going too far.
You may be dissatisfied with Danzo's behavior, but why do you involve the Hokage lineage in this?
"We still need the Uchiha's strength now during the war."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice remained even: "Let's hold a meeting and remind them. That should help them to be more restrained."
"Hiruzen!" Danzo raised his voice a little higher: "You are too weak. As a Hokage, you don't have the courage to cut off your own arm. Why don't you let me deal with them..."
"That's enough Danzo!" Hiruzen yelled, "Do as I say."
"You'll regret this!"
"I am the Hokage."
Danzo looked grim, slammed the door and left.
When he walked out of the Hokage's office, he found that the Anbu guarding around were looking at him with strange eyes.
Obviously the pressure from public opinion was greater than he had imagined.
No matter who they are, they don't want their bodies to be desecrated and used for evil human experiments after sacrificing themselves for the village.
"Hmph." Danzo snorted coldly and quickened his pace.
The hatred towards the Uchiha clan grew in his heart.
The evil Uchiha clan actually exposed the righteous deeds he did while hiding in the Root.
It's simply unforgivable!
And these damn fools.
It was their honor that their bodies could contribute to the development of Konoha's ninjutsu after death, but some people actually thought he was evil.
What a joke!
It's because of the weak guy Monkey that he came to power that these people are living too well and have lost all sense of urgency.
If he had become Hokage in the first place, Konoha would definitely be ten times stronger than it is now!
Everyone is willing to sacrifice their lives, even their souls, for the Will of Fire...
Walking on the road, Danzo fell into the fantasy of becoming Hokage again.
