"Hey, did you hear that?"
"What did you hear?"
"It's the one that's very popular recently..."
"Oh, are you talking about the Cloud ninja who stole Hyuga Clan's child but was killed?"
"This is old news. How long have you been out on the street? I haven't heard of Elder Shimura Danzo doing Human Experimentation..."
"Hiss~" (gasps) "Don't talk nonsense, Konoha is all that adult's spy."
"What are you afraid of? I tell you there is something more exciting. He transplanted Kekkei Genkai from Wood Release, Sharingan and other Konoha families."
"Really or not?"
"Of course it's true. My neighbor's second uncle's niece's distant cousin's son is in Root. He personally performed the surgery on Danzo."
"Come on, brother, tell me about this in detail. I'll pay for today's meal!"
Similar conversations, like viruses, are spreading in the streets and alleys of Konoha.
At first, it was just a few people spreading it, but soon Konoha became known to everyone.
Later, the rumors even started to become more and more crooked. From Danzo becoming Human Experimentation, transplanting Wood Release and Sharingan, to him absorbing Konoha from all major families Kekkei Genkai...
It's okay, this kind of evil person must be killed immediately.
Public opinion is like this. Once it is released, it will quickly become a tiger and then it will not be controlled by anyone.
Even if it is finally clarified, the damage caused in the process is irreparable.
Of course, there are factors beyond the control of public opinion that things have turned out like this, but then again, if someone accuses Third Hokage like this, will anyone believe it?
Of course not.
This is the difference between the two people.
Danzo has done too many things that disgusted the major ninja clans over the years. Not to mention Root forcing others to enter Root. In his hands, Police Force is also a short-term violent institution.
If Third Hokage represents the good of Konoha, then Danzo is the evil of Konoha.
Once this kind of ninja who has gathered resentment is messed with, there will be many people who will add insult to injury and even spit on him.
You must know that the ninja family of Konoha is the majority of the power in the village.
When these forces unite to promote the development of something, Danzo becomes famous in an instant.
As Chen said before, when something breaks out, whether Cloud ninja steals Byakugan, or Hiashi beats Cloud Shinobi to death... everything is just a cloud.
Third Hokage has no time to care about these things, he wants to save his good friend's life.
But if it was just a general public opinion issue, he would suppress it and everyone would turn a blind eye and it would pass. But this time the nature is different.
Because Human Experimentation is a taboo for Shinobi World.
This kind of thing is not allowed in any village. Just like Human Puppet of Sunagakure, once discovered, it is immediately treated as Rogue Ninja.
This was true for Hiruko in the original time and space, and it was also true for Orochimaru who was forced to leave the village.
Therefore, as long as he has a relationship with Human Experimentation, it is impossible for him not to investigate Danzo, because he cannot block the mouth of the village Youyou.
But the key is not whether to investigate or not, but whether Danzo can withstand investigation?
Since the mastermind behind the scenes dares to spread such rumors at this point, he is largely confident.
In other words, Danzo itself is not clean.
In fact, Konoha has the tradition of Human Experimentation. After all, Second Hokage is a master in this field.
But Second Hokage would never hurt the ninjas of his own village. Even if Sharingan vigorously studied Uchiha Clan, that was only in the Warring States Period era.
But in the rumor, Danzo was contaminated with Wood Release, Sharingan, Byakugan... and a series of Kekkei Genkai.
Which one is not unique to Konoha?
Although Third Hokage does not believe that Danzo would be so crazy, as long as one is infected, Third Hokage cannot tolerate Danzo.
Don't harm the ninjas in the village, this is the bottom line.
You can do Human Experimentation, but you have to have a bottom line. At least you can't experiment with ninjas in the village.
Moreover, the time when this rumor broke out was too sensitive.
Hyuga Clan just killed Cloud Shinobi a few days ago for the matter of Byakugan. At this time, he was frightened, and Danzo transplanted Kekkei Genkai in the village...
"What an eventful time it has been." Third Hokage lit the pipe in his hand, and the green smoke lingered in Hokage Office.
"Hiruzen, Danzo, where did he go?" Homura Mitokado asked.
At this time, Danzo must come back to clarify anyway.
Homura Mitokado doesn't believe that Danzo would do that kind of thing.
"He said he went to Land of Rain." Third Hokage replied.
"Land of Rain?" Homura Mitokado was stunned, "What is he going to Land of Rain for?" "
"Oh, that's right. Some time ago, after Danzo's investigation, it was discovered that Fugaku went to Land of Rain and joined an organization called Akatsuki. So Danzo went to investigate to see if there was any relationship between Fugaku's attack and Akatsuki Organization."
"That's right." Homura Mitokado nodded, "Danzo is really doing his job, but there are still such rumors in the village. It's really hard for him."
The implication of Homura Mitokado is to let Third Hokage take action to quell the rumors. Old guys like Danzo cannot be allowed to bleed and shed tears along the way.
Homura Mitokado turned to look at Utatane Koharu and said, "Koharu, what do you think?"
But Utatane Koharu remained silent, and the hand holding the chair even began to turn white.
All she could think about was what Chen told her: Mirror's Mangekyo Sharingan is in the hands of Danzo!
Homura Mitokado also wanted to say something, but Anbu Ninja ran in in a hurry.
"What happened?" Third Hokage asked with a frown.
"Lord Chen, Nawaki, and Hiashi. The three of them brought ninjas to attack Root. They want to ask Lord Danzo for an explanation."
Third Hokage has a little headache.
This is what worries him. Rumors say that Danzo has been transplanted from Wood Release, Sharingan and Byakugan.
Chen and the others, as the patriarchs or future patriarchs of the three major families, must not be able to sit still and want to ask Danzo for an explanation.
He knocked on the table and said helplessly, "Danzo is not in Root. Isn't this nonsense?"
But the ninja shook his head and said, "No, Master Chen said that Master Danzo is hiding in Root now and has not left the village at all."
"What?!" Third Hokage stood up suddenly.
If what Chen said is true, then what Danzo said about going out to investigate Akatsuki Organization is false...
OK, everything is fake.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Follow me Root."
Deep underground, this is the secret place of Root. Generally, few ninjas reach here.
An operation is taking place here now.
The operation had reached the final stage, but a masked Root Shinobi appeared outside the operating room.
"Stop!" a ninja said calmly.
"I'm looking for Master Danzo."
" Master Danzo is undergoing surgery, please don't disturb me now."
"But Uchiha Chen has already entered the base."
"That's right..."
Before the Root Shinobi finished speaking, the door was pushed open.
"Mirror's son?" Danzo untied the bandage on his right hand.
"Just in time to try out my new eyes."
(ps update, I came to school today, moved things for several hours, I am really exhausted.)
