Danzo's Death! A Meeting About Shinki and the Sharingan
After Shinki pierced Danzo's heart with his sword, Danzo vomited a mouthful of blood and collapsed.
Seconds later, this person who lived in the darkness of Konoha died.
Shinki stared coldly at Danzo's corpse.
This old dog clearly had plenty of time to detonate the Four Symbols Seal before he died, but he didn't.
Could it be that he had a change of heart and wanted to leave something for the village?
Shinki guessed.
However, now that Danzo is dead, what was he really thinking? Shinki has no idea.
"Knock knock knock..."
There was a knock on the door of the Third Hokage's Residence.
The old man, woken from his sleep, looked annoyed.
"Who on earth is it that's disturbing the old man's messages in the middle of the night?"
"Creak--"
The Third old man pushed open his wooden door, only to be met with his old friend's deathly pale face.
"Danzo?"
The Third Hokage was so frightened that he took a half step back.
Then they discovered that their old friend had stopped breathing and was no longer warm...
ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ノ!!!
Dead?!
With so many people in the Root, how could they not protect Danzo?!
The next moment, Shinki's face appeared behind Danzo.
"I killed him."
Shinki said calmly.
The Third Hokage's pupils trembled violently.
After calming down, he recalled Danzo's extreme actions over the years.
The Third Hokage knew that although Shinki possessed immense power, he wouldn't kill indiscriminately without reason, so he hurriedly asked, "What exactly happened?"
Shinki first carried Danzo's body into the Third Hokage's residence, and then recounted everything that had happened that night.
The Third Hokage, puffing on his pipe, frowned more and more deeply as he listened.
I never imagined Danzo had done so much behind my back, even Shisui's eyes...
"If what you say is true, I will help you," the Third said.
The news that Konoha's genius killed Danzo, the Danzo of the Root organization, will likely cause a huge uproar in the village.
In the following days, the village held several meetings.
The meeting focused on two main areas of discussion.
First, is Shinki guilty?
Secondly, how should Shisui Uchiha's eyes be treated?
In the conference room.
The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, sat with the village's old fogies, listening to their discussion, growing increasingly angry.
"I don't think there's any need for further discussion. Danzo assassinated and attacked Shinki first; Shinki was merely acting in self-defense."
At this moment, another high-ranking member stood up and said, "But the 'Root' organization members who returned alive all gave the same testimony: Shinki attacked first."
"Bang!"
The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade on the table and stood up angrily:
"They're all Danzo cahoots with Danzo; how can their words be used as evidence?!"
"What Shinki said is only one side of the story. Should we just believe him?"
Another senior executive stood up and spoke.
Tsunade at the high-ranking officials at the conference table, exuding an imposing aura that suggested he was ready to fight at the slightest provocation.
"You're all senile!"
"Don't they realize how much Shinki has contributed to the village over the years!"
"During the chaos of the Chunin Ninja Exams, if it weren't for Shinki, how much damage would the village have suffered? Have you calculated it?!"
"Half a month ago, Shinki brought back that massive Iron Fortress and successfully developed Chakra Conversion Technique. Do you know how much this technology will change the future of the Shinobi World?!"
"Moreover, the power that the Shinki currently possesses, if not to destroy Konoha, can at least create a major upheaval."
"If he truly intends to harm Konoha, would any of you present still have the opportunity to discuss this with me?!"
After Tsunade finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
Everything she said was an indisputable fact.
Before the Danzo incident, Shinki was the undisputed choice of the Sixth Hokage by all the higher-ups.
"Let's stick to the facts; now is not the time to discuss the contributions made by the Shinki," said Utatane Koharu, a high-ranking official in Konoha.
"So you mean that unless someone from 'Root' stands up for Shinki, he can be cleared of suspicion?" Tsunade retorted.
The room fell silent, but that was their meaning.
Unless witnesses emerge, Shinki will forever bear the identity of a criminal suspect.
Tsunade's eyes dimmed, because she knew it was almost impossible.
The Ninjas in the Root organization are brainwashed from a young age; everyone is loyal to Danzo and is just a machine that carries out missions.
"Aren't you afraid that the child will be disappointed in Konoha and betray the village because of this?" Tsunade asked.
Upon hearing this, many high-ranking officials exchanged bewildered glances.
Finally, a high-ranking official stepped forward and voiced everyone's thoughts.
"We will absolutely not let that terrible thing happen."
"If the Shinki shows any signs of improvement, Konoha nip it in the bud immediately."
An enraged Tsunade: (ꐦ ಠ 皿ಠ)
With a loud "bang!"
The conference table shattered into pieces under Tsunade's immense force!
"Let's see who dares!!"
The meeting discussions have once again reached a stalemate.
At this moment.
The conference room door was pushed open, and Shinki led Sai in.
"He can testify for me."
Shinki's calm gaze swept over all the high-ranking officials present, then he patted Sai beside him.
Sai nodded somewhat guiltily.
He then revealed in detail that Danzo had long been eyeing the Shinki and had sent him to secretly keep an eye on Shinki.
Finally, Sai dropped two bombshell announcements.
"Danzo also organized an assassination attempt on the Third Hokage in his early years."
"Some time ago, they also organized an assassination attempt on the Fifth Hokage..."
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
"Listen to this, this is the real Danzo old dog!"
Tsunade was overjoyed and pointed at the noses of the many high-ranking officials.
Shinki, standing nearby, immediately wore a sorrowful expression. "I never imagined that after doing so much for Konoha, the higher-ups would still doubt me."
"Were you just talking about eliminating me?"
At this point, a cold glint appeared in Shinki's eyes.
The invisible killing intent sent shivers down the spines of many high-ranking officials present!
"I had already been attacked and was seriously injured."
"Now, I'm also being suspected by the village's higher-ups, which has hurt my young heart."
"Shouldn't the village offer some compensation?"
Shinki said matter-of-factly.
The Third Hokage followed up on Shinki's words by asking, "Then what kind of compensation do you think would be appropriate?"
Shinki uttered two words: "Eyes."
The high-ranking officials exchanged bewildered glances.
It seems that Shinki came prepared.
Danzo killed by Shinki, and giving Shisui's eyes to Shinki seems quite reasonable.
However, the current Shinki is simply too powerful.
He was so powerful that almost no one in the village could counterbalance him.
In other words, if Shinki were to choose to betray Konoha one day, Konoha would be powerless to stop him...
If you were to give Shisui's eyes now, this kid would truly be at the top in every aspect: immortality, ninjutsu, physical strength, and illusion.
A solid iron plate!
