Volume II: Konoha's Night Owl Chapter 18: Danzo

In the meeting room next to the Hokage office we can see Hiruzen Sarutobi The Third Hokage, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane the council elders, Hyuga Clan Head Hiashi Hyuga, Aburame Clan Head Shibi Aburame, Kurama Clan Head Murakumo Kurama, Inuzuka Clan Head Tsume Inuzuka, Nara Clan Head Shikaku Nara, Yamanaka Clan Head Inoichi Yamanaka, Akimichi Clan Head Chouza Akimichi, Uchiha Clan Head Fugaku Uchiha, sitting on their respective seats. And behind Fugaku, Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha stood left and right.

All of them have been in the meeting room for half n hour, so losing her patience Tsume Inuzuka spoke first "Shikaku, is there anyone else that is not present to start the meeting?"

Instead of Shikaku, it was Homura Mitokado who spoke "Council elder Danzo is not present. We will wait until he reach here."

Hearing this Tsume just grumbled while sitting in her seat. Suddenly the door to the meeting room was opened and to the surprise of everyone, the last living Senju Clan came in and stood in front of everyone.

With a surprised face The Third Hokage spoke first "Tsunade? Why are you here?"

"I don't know. I just got here now, by someone who can use Flying Thunder God Jutsu." Tsunade said.

Hearing this Hiruzen knew it was Bokuto who bought her to the village and he thought 'Where is this going Bokuto?'

Hearing what Tsunade said, the Clan Heads were surprised, because the last known person to use this Jutsu is the fourth Hokage. Before their surprise was dying down an ANBU operative with an Owl mask entered the room with Danzo Shimura, who have lost his both right hand and right leg, on his shoulders.

When the elders saw their old friend crippled, they lashed out at the ANBU by saying "What is the meaning of this?" Homura asked the ANBU.

"Who did this to him?" Koharu asked the ANBU.

Not answering them the Owl masked ANBU just stood there in silence, while he was intently observed by Tsunade, Hiruzen and all the Clan Heads not knowing what this is all about.

Before the elders could lash out again at the ANBU Shikaku Nara the one who called for the meeting stood up. As he stood up, the room became silent.

Looking at the ANBU, who is Bokuto Shikaku nodded and started to speak "Lord Third Hokage and the clan council members, I called this meeting after finding out some grave crimes that has been committed against our village Konoha and founders of our village."

Saying that he took out a scroll and unsealed it. After the smoke was cleared a white hand was present on the table, seeing this all the clan heads present were confused, and the only one who had any kind of reaction was Tsunade. As soon as she saw that hand, she sensed something, something that was deep in her memory. Before she could ask anything about it, Shikaku spoke "This hand, is an artificial hand creates using the cell of our First Hokage, Hashirama Senju."

Hearing this, everyone was surprised and then furious. Looking at Shikaku, Hiruzen asked "Who?"

"Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru." The answer came from the ANBU.

Looking at him Hiruzen asked "What are you implying, Bokuto?"

Getting the mask off of his face, Bokuto spoke "Hokage-sama, when you gave me the mission to avert the possible coup d'état by the Uchiha Clan, I got some information that is related to the hand made by the cells of First Hokage."

The clan heads after hearing about the coup started to glare daggers at the three Uchiha that was present in the room, but they kept their silence.

Looking at the Hokage Bokuto continued "The information I got was the meeting between, missing nin Orochimaru and Danzo. I tailed them and was able to hear their discussion on the artificial hand. I wanted to inform this to you Hokage, but I thought about how you gave me the mission to avert the Coup d'état by Uchiha, so I met up with Fugaku Uchiha, the Clan Head for his assistance."

They looked at him like he was some kind of am idiot. Seeing this he just sighed and said "I know, it's idiotic to do that, with a clan that was planning on revolution. But, they were under the suspicion of the village higher ups and in their monitoring, Fugaku-san tried for a peaceful approach, same with Hokage-sama. But it was foiled due to the advice from Danzo and the other two council members."

Hearing this Homura said "What do you mean by that. It was the right thing to do."

"Look, if you two speak again, I will just chop of your tongues like I did with his right hand and right leg." Bokuto said that while pointing at the still unconscious Danzo, with a menacing smile.

"Are you threatening us? Do you…. "

Before they could finish Hiruzen loudly said "Silence." As there were no more sounds in the meeting room, Hiruzen said "No one is allowed to speak anymore, until he finishes his explanation. Bokuto, I need full details on what is going on."

"Hai Hokage-sama."

Under the order of Hiruzen, Bokuto started to tell them "Danzo Shimura, have interest in the Sharingan, and he even had one or two with him." Saying that he opened the right eye of Danzo and asked Hiashi "Hyuga Head, can you use your Byakugan to check it?"

"Yes." Saying that he observed the eye, and after seeing it he said "That is a Sharingan eye. But not his it was surgically implanted on him."

When they got the confirmation they were taken back by this information. Bokuto seeing this continued his explanation "He wanted more of the Sharingan, because of that he wanted the revolution to happen, so he could harvest the eyes of the Uchiha Clan after their demise. Before you shout at me, here's the evidence." He gave a fabricated evidence to the council, they believed it so continued "With these evidence, I also got some other evidence that proves, that Danzo was the one who leaked the information about the mission that was taken by Sakumo Hatake, and the rumours that was spread in the village after the mission was also dine by Danzo. So, we could say that Danzo Shimura was the cause of loosing Konohas White Fang. Then there is the information on the near extinction of the Senju clan, and the attack on the Uzumaki clan, was done with the help of Danzo."

Hearing this Tsunade asked "What did you say?"

"This is why I brought you here, Tsunade-sama. Danzo, leaked the information about the missions taken by the Senju clan members and also leaked the information about the Fuinjutsu shields in the Land of Whirlpool. Thanks to these information, the other four villagers acted on it and slowly started to bring down the count of Senju clan members."

The clan heads now have forgotten about the revolution of Uchiha, and looked at Danzo and the elders with bloodlust.

"Here is the evidence I got from the Root HQ. With that there is also information about, how the Third Ninja war was started. Danzo dispatched his Root agents to look like Iwa Shinobis and attacked the Kumo and did the vice versa. Another evidence shows us that he have even sent his Root Ninja to assassinate Lord Third."

Hearing this they looked at Hiruzen for confirmation and he nodded in affirmation for their unasked question.

After going through all of the evidence, Hiruzen looked at his old teammate and sighed. Then he looked at Bokuto and asked "How did you capture him?"

"Well as to avert the revolution, I asked for the support of the Konoha Police force, and Fugaku-san agreed with me to apprehend the criminal. When we were about to arrest him, he was going to steal the Sharingan of Shisui Uchiha. The Root agents are all tagged, so they won't be able to escape from the village."

"Good." Then looking at clan heads he said "After all of this revelations, I'm declaring Danzo Shimura as the traitor of the Konoha village and his punishment will be execution."
