Awakening

Awakening

The Hokage's office was filled with endless arguing.

Danzo argued his case, facing three opponents alone without giving an inch.

Even if you talked until the sky fell, I still couldn't produce a Mangekyō Sharingan!

That was just how uncompromising he was!

At that moment, Danzo's presence was fully unleashed, his firepower at maximum. He showed no fear whatsoever.

As for the bitterness in his heart...

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other two were convinced Danzo had done it and demanded that he hand it over.

You seriously wounded two geniuses of the Uchiha clan. I agreed to give you one, and you still weren't satisfied?

Danzo, don't be so greedy!

Kotoamatsukami!

His mind suffered an enormous shock.

...Danzo, if you keep playing thief and crying thief, this old man will have no choice but to turn hostile.

As for the proper way to use these two... have them become sworn brothers, or simply marry each other on the spot!

After that, they definitely wouldn't fight or compete. They would have everything they wanted!

He had dug out both pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan.

Hiruzen Sarutobi snorted coldly.

This was absolutely not a good answer.

They clearly possessed such formidable power, yet they had done something so foolish.

If you attacked them now, under what pretext would you do so?

And how many ninja clans would be willing to follow you?

Attacking the victims? Is that how you bully people?

Leaving aside the other ninja clans, would they rely only on the Sarutobi, Shimura, Koharu, and Mitokado clans?

One was Shisui's life!

Only Danzo sneered.

Those words were unanimously opposed by Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other two.

He had also been responsible for the two men's severe injuries.

The Uchiha's recent movements had gradually become more overt.

To the four men currently holding the village's power, that was practically suicidal.

"Alas!" The Third sighed. "You all know the Uchiha's recent situation, and now something like this has happened..."

You must be joking!

Their own Will of Fire would not allow them to do that.

However, in the eyes of Hiruzen and the other two, his anger was merely a sign of guilt.

"What did the Uchiha say?"

After leaving his other eye to Itachi, he chose suicide and staged it as though he had destroyed his Mangekyō Sharingan.

All reactionaries were paper tigers!

Danzo said blandly, "Strike first. Destroy them."

Use one on Uchiha Fugaku!

As long as these two brothers were in your hands, why would you worry about keeping Konoha under control?

All four fell silent.

This was troublesome.

The Uchiha were the victims now.

For example, provoking a conflict between two villages...

One was an Eternal Mangekyo!

Kazuki remembered that in the original story, after Shisui revealed his Mangekyō ability, the Hokage's side became wary of him. Danzo then made a move, intending to seize his Mangekyō Sharingan.

Those red-eyed lunatics just happened to be extremely powerful.

As Konoha's strongest clan, who would dare ignore them?

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the mocking Danzo and said coldly, "Danzo, think carefully about what to do next. The Uchiha will never stop investigating this matter. You'd better hope you don't leave any traces behind, otherwise..."

As weak as ever, Hiruzen!

He had clearly said that danger was imminent, yet Hiruzen still chose to wait silently.

What about their covert strength?

Would the Uchiha really stupidly put everything out in the open?

What worried them most was still the Mangekyō!

Shisui and Kazuki had Mangekyō Sharingan. Could there be a third Mangekyō within the Uchiha clan?

He was only fifteen. He could absolutely afford to wait half a year.

Even with only one eye, his presence was no weaker than the other man's.

At worst, for love, he could pick up a kunai and rise up in resistance.

Kakashi shook his head. "They didn't say anything. They only told me what happened."

The process of blocking and resisting would surely be very enjoyable.

And besides.

The four stared fixedly at Kakashi.

That old fox had sat in the Hokage's seat for decades. His time in office exceeded the combined tenures of the First, Second, and Fourth Hokage. He definitely had more than one hidden card up his sleeve.

Don't say it's impossible. You already used Kotoamatsukami, so these two would definitely obey you.

The arguing continued until Kakashi returned.

Kazuki guaranteed it;

Even after dealing with these two, regardless of the outcome, the Uchiha would most likely have no mind left to launch an armed coup.

An ordinary Konoha jonin required at least three people to handle.

But in Kazuki's eyes, that was simply too stupid.

He hated Danzo and, by extension, had lost trust in the Hokage as well. He also worried that his eyes would trigger a war.

Danzo was the opposite. In truth, he was convinced Hiruzen Sarutobi had done it.

The Hokage Faction would have no energy left to suppress the Uchiha either.

They could proceed to the second step!

Calm was the prelude to an eruption!

How simple!

Kazuki kept shaking his head, angry at his brother for failing to stand up for himself, yet he had no choice but to act for his brother's life.

When Kazuki opened his eyes and smelled the pungent scent of disinfectant, he knew his plan had succeeded.

It was just that progress would be slower.

How many sacrifices would it take to wipe them out?

The Uchiha had already placed more than thirty jonin in the open!

Those were Uchiha jonin!

"Impossible!"

"Calm them down first," Hiruzen Sarutobi said gravely. "But everyone, you must also prepare yourselves. Danger is close at hand."

As for the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall that might occur, don't joke around. Preventing something like that was actually easy. It could be done casually.

Furthermore, because of his death, the Uchiha, who had originally planned to launch an armed coup and reclaim the Hokage position, were forcibly stopped. The timeline began to stretch backward.

Danzo stormed out in anger.

Especially those red-eyed bastards—they were a bunch of lunatics!

"Shut up!"

Foolish!

Trying to seize the power in their hands was simply courting death.

The others could not help nodding.

...Danzo, look at what you've done!

Danzo refused to show weakness and glared back.

Thus.

Moreover.

Although he still could not see anything and his entire body was in terrible pain, he silently breathed a sigh of relief.

In the end, you still thought I did it?

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned his head and glared hatefully at Danzo.

"You greedy bastard!"

The two most gifted geniuses in the clan had their eyes gouged out.

"Opposed!"

Pig!

If you wanted to change Konoha, use Kotoamatsukami!

Kazuki believed Shisui's eye was not indispensable. With his mission system, he could also advance to the Eternal Mangekyo.

What?

The others opposed the marriage?

Heh, two adults... uh, one old man and one fierce-looking middle-aged man, were determined to get married. How could anyone else stop them?

Use one on Hiruzen Sarutobi!

Although Shisui successfully escaped, he still lost one eye.

The Uchiha now would definitely have guards posted every few steps!

To deal with the Uchiha, they could only launch a frontal assault.

After Kazuki and Shisui's eyes were taken, the Uchiha would certainly raise their vigilance to the extreme.

"They even allowed me to investigate on my own. They completely opened the Uchiha's core areas to me and didn't even send anyone to follow me. When I left, they merely nodded casually. They didn't care at all."

They were preparing to launch an armed coup and reclaim the Hokage position that belonged to them.

Who knew how many forces he had under his command.

Exactly!

Peace had arrived just like that!

The crisis had been resolved just like that.

There were two main objectives.

Hiruzen Sarutobi understood Danzo even better. He was even connected to Orochimaru, who had betrayed the village, and no one knew how many dangerous rogue ninja he had secretly associated with. He absolutely had the ability to do such a thing.

"You're awake."

It would probably be delayed by around half a year.

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi had said, this matter had definitely come from within.

After saying that, he added another sentence.

It couldn't have been ninja from another village!

Within Konoha, almost no one had the ability to do something like this. If there was anyone, it could only be Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Alas!

Tearfully taking the Mangekyō Sharingan of his blood-related brother!

I'm so wronged.

A gentle voice rang out.

Kazuki kept his eyes closed and tested the waters. "Kurenai? Is that you?"
