Public Execution!

"Dreams... are not meant to make you immerse yourself in illusion, but rather to provide feedback to reality and break down the boundary between illusion and reality. As long as you are strong enough, you can make everything in your dreams a reality."

Roy continued to tempt him, "At that time, not only will it be easy to manifest food and water through dreams, but it will also be easy to reverse life and death and summon the souls of the dead back to this world!"

"Dreams are a chance for you to make a new choice and make up for your regrets!"

Glug!

The sound of swallowing saliva could be clearly heard, and many villagers looked at Roy with eyes that gleamed with a green light, like the eyes of Violent Wolf that hadn't eaten for three days and three nights seeing food.

No one's life is perfect and without any regrets. After hearing Roy's description of the bright future, not only ordinary villagers, but also Tsunade, Kakashi, and others couldn't help but feel their hearts pounding.

"Ridiculous! How is this any different from the Impure World Impure World Reincarnation, which was listed as a forbidden technique by the Second Hokage? It disturbs the spirits of the dead, preventing them from resting in peace. This kind of evil technique should never exist in the world!" An old and solemn voice came from behind, interrupting everyone's endless reverie.

"Danzo, what is this..." Tsunade frowned slightly, not having much affection for this lifeless old man.

Moreover, in the current situation, the other party, with overwhelming strength, has also shown goodwill by helping Konoha recover. If we don't appreciate this kindness, the situation may continue to deteriorate and reach an unpredictable point.

Moreover, everyone has witnessed the power of dreams; it is a power like Chakra, capable of changing an era. If we were to reject it outright, it would undoubtedly cause Konoha back into the Tidal Wave of this era.

Without Tsunade needing to say anything, some people had already stood up to object.

"Danzo, you cannot deny the power of this force simply because it is too strong. You saw the devastation after the Pain's attack. If we cannot control an even stronger force, can we expect a miracle to happen again if such a tragedy occurs next time?"

"I think that gentleman is right. The root of war lies in the fact that the world's resources are limited, which is why we fight and scramble for them, using all sorts of despicable means to gain a chance to survive. If given a choice, who would want to live under the shadow of death forever?"

"What do you mean by disturbing the spirits of the dead? How do you know the dead don't want to return to this world? Or... are there people among the dead whom you don't want to face again?"

"You..." Danzo looked at the scene before him in exasperation. If it were just one or two opponents, it would be fine, but now it had stirred up Tidal Wave of opposition from the entire village. That man had managed to turn the whole of Konoha against him with just a few words.

While Danzo with horror and panic, he also strengthened his "belief": that evil and dark power must never appear in this world, at least... it must not be used in any way!

"Don't forget, behind him are Deidara, who kidnapped the Fifth Kazekage, and Orochimaru, who caused the death of the Third Hokage. Shouldn't these heinous criminals be brought to trial?"

"However, considering their contribution to rescuing Konoha, I think Konoha can unilaterally remove them from the list of rogue ninja, as long as this man agrees not to use the power of dreams to disturb the dead!" Danzo looked intently at Roy, waiting for his reply.

Roy chuckled and couldn't help but clap his hands in praise, "Danzo is indeed a master of politics. He can always think of things like exchanging benefits or using conspiracies and threats. It's just a pity that you seem to have forgotten one thing: I am not one of your Konoha people. In fact, to put it bluntly, the lifeline of the entire Konoha is in my hands."

"Under these circumstances, you actually dare to force me? You're truly courageous!"

"Ah..." Suddenly, Danzo let out a scream, then stared intently at Roy: "What did you do to me, you bastard?"

"Roy, please forgive Danzo's disrespectful words. He was only worried about Konoha and had no intention of offending you!" After confirming that Roy had no ill will towards Konoha, Tsunade elevated him to the same level and subtly added a respectful tone to her words.

"Tsunade, don't worry. I just admire Danzo for his age still stirring up trouble... oh, no, I mean for his concern for the country and its people. I just wanted to hear Danzo recount his past heroic deeds."

"If Danzo is truly the heroic figure I imagine, I will definitely provide a reasonable explanation for Orochimaru and the others' situation. But if it differs from my expectations... well, you'd better pray that Danzo is a man of his word!"

"Hmph, I have a clear conscience and have dedicated my life to Konoha. There is no need for you to do anything unnecessary!" After confirming that he was not under the control of the genjutsu, Danzo regained his confidence. He was a man who had received the First Generation Cells and the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan. The so-called genjutsu was no longer effective against him.

"Very good, Danzo has such an imposing presence. In that case, I will begin with the questions." Roy's lips curled into a wicked smile as he slowly began to speak.

"The first question is, why did Danzo step forward to stop me from spreading 'Dream Technique'? Was he really worried about disturbing the spirits of the dead?"

"Of course!" Danzo said without changing his expression, which relieved the others. Then his face gradually twisted into a ferocious expression.

"If that bastard Hiruzen were to be resurrected, Konoha would inevitably continue to decline under his rule, and might even lose its title as the strongest ninja village. Only I, Shimura Danzo, am truly qualified to become Hokage!"

Danzo's words were like a deep-sea bomb, stirring up a storm among the crowd. They couldn't believe that Danzo's previous high-sounding words were merely to prevent the Third Hokage's resurrection, fearing that he would become a stumbling block on their path to becoming Hokage!

"Damn it, why is my body out of control? What did you do to me, you bastard?" Danzo's face was contorted with rage. Although he didn't think he had done anything wrong, he knew all too well how fickle people's hearts were and that he could never expose his ambitions to anyone, or his path to becoming Hokage would be completely cut off!

"Dreams are ultimately projections of the subconscious mind. I was just asking you to express what you usually want to say but are unwilling to say. Now it seems that Danzo's heart may not be as bright as we imagined!"

Hearing Roy's sarcasm and the doubts of those around him, Danzo smiled coldly, "What do you know? My friendship with Hiruzen lasted for decades. My reluctance to let him be resurrected is only for the sake of Konoha's future. His weak attitude is no longer suitable for this rampaging era. For Konoha, this sacrifice is nothing!"
