Chapter 41 As Long As Sarutobi Hiruzen Still Needs Him, He Will Not Be Defeated.

But what he didn't expect was that Sansho Hanzo, who had already been caught, would directly betray him over an insignificant piece of information.

"How did the news get out?"

Shimura Danzo didn't care whether he would be caught or locked up.

Because he believed that the Third Hokage would not kill him, but would only imprison him at most.

There was no difference between his current situation and imprisonment. It was better to live in peace and stability for a few years.

The Third Hokage needed him—as the black glove, the scapegoat, the shadow in the darkness.

His comeback and return to power were only a matter of time.

"How dare you ask?"

Akamichi Chōza wanted to give Shimura Danzo a good thrashing.

Koharu Utatane, who had been holding back her anger, couldn't take it anymore. She stepped forward and cursed:

"Danzo, we might have turned a blind eye when you did some shameful things, but why did you leak the village's information and use it to make a deal with Sansho Hanzo?"

"The village just had an important meeting, and immediately after, that information was sold. You're really willing to go that far. What a disgrace you are!"

"???"

What did that mean?

Did I misjudge Hanzo?

"Sansho Hanzo captured the people you left behind and tortured them. They were already dead. Then that old poisoner personally brought their bodies to the gates of our border camp and told everyone about you, right in front of several dozen shocked ninjas."

"..."

Was I truly wrong about him?

Is this really something Sansho Hanzo would do?

No.

Why? Doesn't he care about Amegakure and the Land of Rain?

Isn't he afraid that his country will be plunged into war?

Shimura Danzo couldn't understand why the person he thought he had figured out suddenly turned on him and sold him out so thoroughly.

Even as Anbu agents took him away and imprisoned him in their cells, Danzo was still trying to figure it out.

Not only was Shimura Danzo baffled, even the Third Hokage was confused.

But such things… just happen.

Sansho Hanzo also said that he had no intention of becoming an enemy of Konoha. But can you solve something like this with just a few words?

Dragging down Amegakure is now the consensus of the village.

The peaceful day was broken by the latest announcement from the Hokage Office Building.

When the announcement was made, the whole village was abuzz.

"Why did Lord Danzo assassinate the village's ninjas?"

"I don't know. The announcement said he not only assassinated them, but also leaked the village's intelligence and betrayed our interests."

"How could he do such a thing?"

As soon as the announcement was made, Shimura Danzo became a pariah, despised by all.

Everyone in Konoha was gossiping about it, and while doing so, they praised the Third Hokage.

Shimura Danzo was arrested and imprisoned immediately after the incident came to light. This was thanks to Lord Hokage's quick action.

As for Shimura Danzo's fate, few cared. He had been arrested and imprisoned, and everyone believed that Lord Hokage would punish him severely.

The announcement and arrest operation issued by the Hokage Office directly dissipated all the anger and frustration that had built up among the villagers and the village ninjas.

The situation did not escalate. After a while, Danzo's actions would fade from most people's memories.

"So, no one knows why Sansho Hanzo turned against him?"

Sarutobi Mishima nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Hokage. The other party offered no explanation. He simply exposed Danzo's deeds, left the bodies, and walked away. The corpses have been identified, and they are indeed ninjas from the Shimura clan."

After Sarutobi Mishima arrived back at the village, he immediately reported the details to the Third Hokage.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mishima. Take a rest, and then return to the camp. Announce the village's punishment. I cannot let Danzo's actions undermine my comrades' morale."

If nothing else occurred, this matter would come to an end here.

For the time being, the Third Hokage would not allow Shimura Danzo to resurface, much less give him a chance to stir up trouble.

As for when Danzo would reappear openly, that would depend on when Sarutobi Hiruzen needed his scapegoat and his shadowy operator once more.

Of course, it would also depend on the situation at the Senju clan's ancestral home.

Before Uzumaki Mito passed, it wouldn't be appropriate to release Shimura Danzo.

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

Having completed his mission, Sarutobi Mishima rested for the night in the village and then set out to return to the camp.

Once he was back, Sarutobi Mishima publicized the Hokage Office's decision on Danzo's punishment.

For a while, many frustrated ninjas cheered excitedly.

And soon enough, the camp was filled with praise and admiration for the Third Hokage.

When Sarutobi Mishima arrived at the medical division, he informed Shigeru about the announcement and said:

"Lord Hokage is taking this matter very seriously. You can rest easy now. The captain and I will handle the camp's affairs together."

"Thank you, Vice-Captain."

Shigeru agreed courteously.

You had to admit, the Third Hokage handled this situation masterfully. Not only did he win the favor of many, but he also successfully saved Shimura Danzo.

The scandal had been covered up.

Everyone in the village was focused on the punishment announcement, and only a few people would care whether Danzo's punishment was truly harsh or fitting.

Looking around the camp, you could see that this strategy had worked well.

When the incident first broke, many ninjas were filled with resentment. But now, everyone was praising the Third Hokage, their smiles back on their faces.

They might as well have erected a monument in honor of the Third Hokage.

It may seem a bit theatrical, but the matter had come to an end. And now, Shigeru could rest peacefully, waiting for the third "fetal movement" of the Tenseigan to finish.

The third "fetal movement" of the Tenseigan took longer than Shigeru expected. He originally thought it would take half a month, but it ended up lasting more than a month.

Shigeru suspected that the prolonged "fetal movement" was related to his lack of Ōtsutsuki chakra and the weakening of his bloodline.

When the process was finally over, Shigeru removed the white cloth covering his eyes, took a spare mirror from the sealing scroll, and examined his reflection.

He found that apart from his skin becoming slightly paler, his appearance had not changed much.

On the surface, he looked the same. But inside, everything had changed drastically.

Shigeru's body had recovered.

For the ninjas in the camp, this was good news. Everyone could finally relax, their worries dispelled
