At the base of the Body Transformation Department.
The Uchiha and the people of Konoha are in a standoff.
Danzo scans the crowd, not seeing Dan Uchiha, his brow furrows, feeling a bit uneasy.
During the last clan leader meeting, Dan not only publicly killed several Root ninjas, but also sent Danzo flying out of the Hokage Building, causing this Hokage's assistant's reputation to hit rock bottom.
Danzo has been lying low for a while, always waiting for an opportunity to retaliate against Dan and the Uchiha.
Today, he brought all the Root personnel, joined forces with the Police Force to mobilize hundreds of people, and even incited a large number of Konoha ninjas and villagers to come and question the Uchiha.
No matter how strong the Uchiha are, they can't possibly stand against the entire Konoha.
Otherwise, with the Uchiha's arrogant and domineering character, they would have rebelled and become Hokage themselves.
Thinking of this.
Danzo and Hyuga Hizashi, who was next to him, exchanged glances, signaling that the latter could start.
Hizashi understood and nodded, waving his hand and sternly ordered: "Bring them up!"
As soon as his voice fell.
Two prison cars were escorted over by the Police Force, inside were the brothers Fujin and Raijin, both of whom were eating heartily with their hands and feet in shackles.
The Police Force also found that as long as they gave these two food, they would behave and stop causing trouble.
Fugaku saw this scene, his brows furrowed, and finally spoke: "Hizashi, what is the meaning of this?"
"Fugaku, aren't you pretending not to know?"
Hizashi snorted coldly, pointing at Fujin and Raijin, "These two are heavy criminals from the Anbu prison. After being manipulated by the Sharingan's illusion, they not only injured the prison guards, led the prisoners to escape collectively, but also attacked Konoha. What explanation does the Uchiha have for this?"
Before Fugaku could respond, Danzo added in a deep voice:
"The strength of Fujin and Raijin exceeds that of an average Jonin. The one who can control them for a long time with the Sharingan must be an Uchiha ninja who has awakened the Mangekyou. Outsiders, even if they have transplanted the Sharingan, cannot have such eye power."
His words directly targeted the Mangekyou powerhouses within the Uchiha clan.
Not only that, Hizashi further pointed out: "Through the interrogation of Fujin, Raijin, and other prisoners, they have confessed that the planner of this prison break was a member of the Akatsuki, and the mastermind is a masked Uchiha ninja. Therefore, we suspect that the Uchiha colluded with the Akatsuki to create this disturbance!"
It was clear.
Danzo and Hizashi, and others, came prepared.
In fact.
After their careful investigation, many pieces of evidence indeed pointed to the Uchiha.
The Uchiha simply couldn't deny it.
Danzo and Hizashi's bombardment at the beginning immediately ignited the emotions of the surrounding Konoha ninjas and villagers.
"My God, I thought the Uchiha drove away the Akatsuki, but they actually teamed up with the Akatsuki to put on a show, deceiving the Third Hokage and all the villagers!"
"The Uchiha created this disturbance, is it just for revenge? They clearly want to seize power in the chaos, to become the rulers of Konoha."
"With so much evidence in front of us, can the Uchiha still deny it?"
The villagers were filled with righteous indignation, and their eyes were full of anger when they looked at the Uchiha.
Facing the overwhelming public outrage, as the head of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku remained calm, stepped forward, and openly admitted to everyone:
"Yes, the masked man you mentioned was indeed from the Uchiha, but he betrayed the Uchiha and Konoha long ago, just like Orochimaru, the disciple of the Third Hokage, and joined the Akatsuki as a rogue ninja. His name is Uchiha Obito!"
Uchiha Obito?
As Fugaku loudly announced this name.
Not only were the people of Konoha frowning, but even the Uchiha clan was surprised and confused.
Obito?
Danzo immediately remembered who this person was and let out a cold laugh:
"Uchiha Obito was already dead during the Third Great Ninja War, and his comrade Kakashi can prove this. I thought the Uchiha were going to play some tricks, but I didn't expect them to push the blame onto a dead man."
Upon hearing this, Fugaku slowly shook his head:
"Obito only faked his death. Not only is he alive and well, but he also masterminded the Nine-Tails incident six years ago!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd was once again in an uproar.
"Do you have any evidence?" Hizashi asked sternly.
"Of course, there is evidence."
Fugaku smiled calmly, finally revealing the recent events where the Uchiha captured a spy from the Akatsuki, extracted information, and then mobilized the elite of the clan to attack the Mountain Graveyard.
After hearing this.
Danzo and Hizashi exchanged glances, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
Was there such a thing?
From a timeline perspective.
The Uchiha's military operation was just after they gave up the Police Force.
Such a large operation was carried out so quietly that no one in the village noticed.
Taking advantage of the shock of the people of Konoha, Fugaku continued: "After the Uchiha wiped out Obito's lair, they found a lot of intelligence. They discovered that he had disguised himself as Uchiha Madara to join the Akatsuki, with the purpose of taking revenge on Konoha..."
"Nonsense!" Danzo interrupted Fugaku's words, questioning, "Apart from the Uchiha themselves, who else can prove what you're saying? Ridiculous!"
Fugaku snorted coldly, prepared for this.
However, just as he was about to order his secretary, Hachidai, to bring out the evidence, a voice suddenly rang out in the crowd.
"I can help the Uchiha prove it!"
Who was it?
Everyone in the field looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a handsome blond gentleman stepping out of the crowd.
"Who are you?"
Hizashi frowned, looking at this unfamiliar face, certain that the man was not a Konoha ninja.
The Uchiha, on the other hand, were surprised, not expecting "Doctor Dan" to stand up at this time, under such tremendous pressure, to speak for them.
Fugaku and Shisui, even more so, were astonished, because they knew the true identity of the blond gentleman.
Under everyone's gaze the blond gentleman, or "Doctor Dan," walked to the middle of the Uchiha and Konoha people.
He took a deep breath, then turned to Danzo and others, raised his hand to swear, and said word by word:
"As a military doctor who participated in the Uchiha's attack on the Mountain Graveyard, I can testify that every word Clan Head Fugaku said is true."
Just like that?
To this, Danzo's comment was: "A clumsy drama."
Hizashi came to his senses and also sneered at the blond gentleman: "No matter how much the Uchiha have given you, I advise you to understand the situation. A nameless person like you, your testimony has no persuasive power."
"Is that so?"
The blond gentleman smiled upon hearing this.
He shook his head helplessly, seeming to make a decision, then looked back at them and asked, "How about now?"
As soon as his voice fell.
With a "pop," a cloud of white smoke dissipated, and he
finally dispelled his transformation jutsu, revealing his true appearance.
Blonde twin ponytails, delicate features, a blue-purple diamond mark on her forehead.
Fair skin, a voluptuous figure, wearing a dark green coat with a large "bet" character on the back.
At this moment.
Tsunade stood with her hands on her hips, her gaze piercing as she stared at Danzo and Hizashi, and said coldly:
"Do I, Tsunade Senju, have the qualifications to testify for the Uchiha?"
Tsunade?
"Am I seeing things? That woman, is... is Lady Tsunade?"
"Those exaggeratedly large breasts, there should be no one in this world who could impersonate them, right? So it's true!"
"So, Lady Tsunade has returned to the village long ago, even became a military doctor for the Uchiha, and participated in their external military operations?!"
"..."
With Tsunade's sudden appearance, the focus of everyone on the scene changed instantly.
Tsunade, the granddaughter of the First Hokage, one of the Legendary Sannin, the founder of the medical ninja system, known as the princess of the Leaf Village, the most beautiful and powerful female ninja in the entire ninja world!
Although she had left the village for ten years.
Tsunade was still the moonlight in the hearts of many Leaf ninjas and villagers, and everyone had always hoped that the princess of the Leaf could return to the village one day.
Now, she really came back.
And it was at a time when the Leaf had just experienced a disturbance and was in a difficult time, in need of good news to boost morale.
Tsunade's return was undoubtedly an inspiring piece of good news.
Tsunade? On the Uchiha's side, apart from Fugaku and Shisui, the other clan members were completely dumbfounded.
The "Doctor Dan" who had been fighting alongside them and was highly respected by everyone, her true identity turned out to be Tsunade of the Senju clan.
What a joke.
But looking at the expressions of Clan Head Fugaku and Shisui, the two seemed to have known all along.
Just as many people on both sides were stunned by the shock.
"Who dares to impersonate Tsunade, it's audacious. Arrest her!"
Danzo gave a cold shout, ordering the Root members.
He simply didn't believe that Tsunade, with her Senju clan status, could put aside her grudge with the Uchiha, their sworn enemy, and cooperate so closely with the Uchiha.
Even if the person in front of him was really Tsunade, if she had colluded with the Uchiha, then she was an enemy of the Leaf.
Arrest her first.
