Chapter 24

"Ahhh…"

Danzo let out a heart-wrenching scream.

It wasn't because his eye hurt; it was the agony of his defeat.

Danzo never imagined that Haruto would act so quickly, leaving him no chance to activate the Sharingan on his arm and trigger Izanagi to reverse the situation.

The Sharingan that once belonged to Uchiha Shisui had now, once again, changed hands.

Morino Ibiki, stunned by what had just happened, exclaimed, "Haruto! What are you doing? Torture is my responsibility! You...!"

Before Ibiki could finish, Haruto opened his palm, revealing the blood-soaked Sharingan for all to see. "I just took back what originally belonged to my Uchiha clan. Is that too much?"

The room fell silent, and every eye turned toward Danzo with growing disgust.

Without a word, Haruto swiftly cut off Danzo's arm. Danzo didn't resist; he looked defeated, as if all hope had been drained from him. The loss of Shisui's eye meant his last lifeline had vanished, and with it, his ambition of becoming Hokage.

The events of the day came to a temporary halt with Danzo's arrest. But across the village, the news had already spread like wildfire. Most villagers, except those who slept through the night, were discussing the incident.

"Hey, did you hear? That blue giant was summoned by Uchiha Haruto!"

"No way, you're joking! Haruto couldn't even make a decent clone before."

"I'm serious! My dad's a Jonin, and he saw it with his own eyes!"

"Yeah! Haruto really did it, I was there!"

"Oh my God, did you see how cool that giant looked?"

"I always thought Haruto was just a playboy who used his looks to charm girls. But now, it turns out he's so strong. I can't believe it!"

"I've made up my mind—I want to have his child! He's working to revive the Uchiha clan, and I want to be part of it!"

"Get in line! I was here first!"

"Are you all out of your minds? He's got a harem, and you're still lining up?"

"Shut up! You're just jealous. You know your sister's already in the line!"

"What?!"

While the women were in a frenzy over Haruto's newfound strength, the men in the village were focused on Danzo.

"Did you hear Danzo got arrested? Apparently, he sent assassins after Haruto, but failed."

"No, no, no! I heard Haruto got revenge on Danzo for something personal, and now Danzo's in custody."

"What? Revenge? I heard Danzo had a bunch of Uchiha Sharingan on his arm! That's why he's been arrested!"

"Wait, does that mean the Uchiha massacre might be related to Danzo? How else did he get all those Sharingan?"

"Who knows? But either way, Danzo's done for."

Men and women across the village had their own versions of the story, but the outcome remained the same: Danzo's reputation was in ruins, and Haruto's image had been elevated to new heights.

This shift in public opinion troubled Sarutobi Hiruzen the most. It seemed impossible now to salvage Danzo's name. Losing the trust of the people meant everything was lost.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The knock on his door pulled the Hokage from his thoughts.

"Ahem… Come in," Hiruzen said.

Nara Shikaku entered the room. "Hokage-sama, we're ready to begin the interrogation of Danzo."

"Understood. Let's go. I'll come with you."
