Meanwhile...
Danzo, who had been waiting near the Uchiha Compound, had yet to receive Shisui's Sharingan.
Instead, an Anbu ninja directly under the Hokage's command arrived.
Kakashi Hatake.
"Kakashi?"
The moment Kakashi appeared, a trace of surprise flashed through Danzo's eyes.
Kakashi had been able to find Danzo thanks to Hiruzen Sarutobi's Clairvoyance Jutsu.
As Danzo's close friend, Hiruzen was extremely familiar with his Chakra.
With just a brief observation through the Clairvoyance Jutsu, he could pinpoint Danzo's location.
"Lord Danzo." Kakashi calmly explained why he had come.
He said that the Third Hokage had an important matter to discuss with him.
He also emphasized that it concerned Shisui.
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi had not anticipated Danzo killing Shisui, considering Konoha's current situation...
After weighing the matter, he did not want to make a major issue of it.
Thus, this was effectively a warning to Danzo.
The moment he heard Shisui's name, Danzo immediately understood.
"Hiruzen, that bastard..."
Since Hiruzen could send Kakashi to find him and mention Shisui's name...
It was obvious that he already knew about Danzo taking the eye.
And since the Root ninjas he had sent out had yet to return, things had likely spiraled out of control.
Even so, Danzo felt no concern whatsoever.
Everything he had done was for Konoha.
His conscience was clear. He had nothing to fear.
With that, Danzo and Kakashi vanished from where they stood and headed for the Hokage Building.
After more than ten minutes of sprinting, the two arrived at the Hokage Building.
However, Kakashi did not take Danzo directly to the Hokage's Office.
Instead, he led him into another room.
"Please wait a moment, Lord Danzo. I will inform Lord Hokage immediately," Kakashi stated coldly.
Seeing this, Danzo simply dropped into a chair and let Kakashi leave.
