"Ever since that incident, I understood that Konoha could not do without darkness like me."
"But it also needed light like you."
"So the one thing I would never do was lie to you."
"I only had Shisui's right eye."
Danzo and Hiruzen locked eyes, an unprecedented sincerity showing in Danzo's gaze.
At the same time, a trace of unease arose in his heart.
Judging by Hiruzen's reaction, he was not lying either.

Hiruzen thought to himself.
Moreover, whoever had acted at Naka Shrine without being noticed by the Uchiha Clan.
Could only have been someone from the Uchiha Clan.
Add in the condition that they
