Only Those Who Lose Are War Criminals

Faced with Uchiha Gen's questioning and the suspicious looks from the many ninja clans present, Shimura Danzō remained calm, without the slightest sign of panic.

Since he had already prepared himself mentally to wipe out the entire Uchiha clan, using Wood Style and Sharingan power in public was simply unavoidable.

That was why Shimura Danzō had already prepared an entire set of explanations on the way here.

As long as he won, none of the problems would remain problems.

Confessing guilt and accepting punishment was something only losers needed to consider.

"You sharp-tongued Uchiha brat, the First Hokage's Wood Style power within me was approved for transplantation by the First Hokage himself before his death. These Sharingan were also entrusted to me by Uchiha comrades who had once been loyal to Konoha, before they passed away."

"The purpose was to allow me to step in at critical moments and suppress Uchiha traitors like you, who disrupt the village's peace."

Shimura Danzō looked coldly at Uchiha Gen.

Unhurriedly removing the remaining bandages from his body, he had already entered a complete combat state as he spoke.

He believed that Sarutobi, his old friend of many years, would ultimately stand by his side.

Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan had never been displayed in public, and only a small number of people recognized it.

Sure enough, Danzō's words fooled quite a few ninjas from the Hokage faction, easing their strange looks considerably.

Compared to believing that the Konoha High Command was utterly dark and corrupt, it was easier to believe that they were righteous and glorious, inheriting such inhumane power only to protect Konoha, with reasons they could not speak of.

However, those words could not fool people like Kakashi, who had dealt with Root many times, nor could they fool the Great Ninja Clans
