Chapter 15: The Sudden Appearance of Wood Release!
Everyone returned to the hospital room.
The issues with Kazuki and Shisui, the whereabouts of the two Mangekyo Sharingan – they had to know.
"Kazuki, who was it?" Fugaku asked.
"It's me, Kazuki. Full name Uchiha Kazuki, male, fifteen years old..."
"Stop, stop, Kazuki!" Fugaku said weakly. "That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking, who was the person you saw? Seriously, don't fool around anymore. I command you as the clan head!"
Kazuki replied indignantly, "Then explain yourself clearly! You're decades old, the clan head and captain of the Konoha Military Police Force, and you can't even speak clearly. No wonder the Uchiha are declining; it turns out the leader has problems."
"Clan head, why are you leading everyone astray?"
Fugaku: "..."
No one spoke.
Kurenai's expression was numb.
There were quite a few people with Senju blood in Konoha.
Uchiha Setsuna, Uchiha Muneyoshi, you two old fossils, why are you nodding along!
Why don't you mention the Sage of Six Paths!
Did the God of Shinobi crawl out from underground for your pair of eyes?
Sensing the wrong expressions on everyone's faces, Kazuki panicked and shouted, "Do you think I'm joking around?"
Everyone fell silent again.
How could I be so foolish as to trouble him!
So the current state of the Uchiha has become my problem.
The Three Tomoe appeared in Fugaku's eyes, his expression contorted.
"Koharu! Don't spout nonsense!" The Third Hokage reprimanded, then said to everyone, "Let's talk outside!"
"The other party clearly intended to silence me. When I used Fire Style, they attacked me as well."
As Kazuki was about to speak, the Third Hokage quickly interrupted.
Utatane Koharu said coldly, "Uchiha Kazuki, not a single word you say is trustworthy. Everyone, I suggest we directly search Uchiha Kazuki's mind for the answer."
These people are no good!
Only Muneyoshi said something.
"Wood Release?"
Hashirama Senju and Wood Release – those are two different concepts.
The Fire Style Kazuki unleashed was too powerful; it erased all traces.
Isn't this burden too heavy!
I can't carry it!
When they were trying to dig out Kazuki's eyes, Kazuki counterattacked with Fire Style, repelling the enemy.
Kazuki sighed softly.
He was the God of Shinobi; did he need to care about Mangekyo Sharingan?
Moreover.
Forget it, the matter of digging out the eyes should be over soon!
Kazuki's expression turned serious, and he said, "Actually, when I was groggy, I didn't see just one person, but several. The clue lies with one of them."
Such a simple matter, and you've caused so much trouble!
Kazuki pouted. "I'm blind, not deaf. I smelled the unnaturalness in your words long ago."
"But I really saw Wood Release!"
He couldn't wait to let these people experience other "performances."
It could be said that the only clue was actually in Kazuki's mind.
Back then, because of Tobirama Senju's policy of civilianization, the Senju, the strongest clan at the time, were directly dismantled and integrated into Konoha.
Among them, there were quite a few carrying killing intent.
However, Kazuki pursed his thin lips, his expression struggling.
"..."
Kazuki, I am the clan head!
"Kazuki!" Kurenai said softly. "If it were Lord Hashirama Senju, with his strength, Mangekyo Sharingan would be meaningless before him."
Everyone silently turned and left.
Fugaku suddenly felt that Danzō was quite good-looking.
He subconsciously looked around, keenly aware that the people nearby were intentionally or unintentionally looking at him.
After all, he had prepared several programs to avoid the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall.
"Hmm?!"
But!
He was truly anxious.
Kazuki asked in surprise, "If I understand the Hokage correctly, does Konoha have other Wood Release techniques?"
As a result, two pairs of eyes were lost just like that. I'm so anxious I'm about to have a stroke, and you're still messing around here repeatedly. Do you really think I won't deal with you?
Fugaku said coldly, "Aren't you just playing with us?"
Damn it!
This was an existence even more terrifying than Uchiha Fugaku.
If he were still alive, would the ninja world still erupt in war?
"Good!" Kazuki said with full vigor, "I suspect that the person who took my and Shisui's Sharingan is Hashirama Senju! That's right, the First Hokage!"
Danzō said sinisterly, "Then what about the injuries on you and Shisui?"
He was the only one who saw the attacker.
The entire room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Many people looked at Utatane Koharu as if she were an idiot.
The village's hostility?
Heh heh!
"Just tell us everything you saw. Whether it's true or false, we'll judge for ourselves."
Many people breathed a long sigh of relief.
Their tolerance was too low; this was nothing yet!
"Ahem, how is that possible?"
He was usually so arrogant that he forgot that his target this time was Uchiha Kazuki.
Finally finished!
Summary;
Even Danzō was driven to madness by him.
"What clues?"
"Alright, Kazuki, you continue. By the way, if you see Wood Release, just mention Wood Release. Don't bring the First Hokage into it."
I can't believe it.
He had already eagerly attacked their home, asking kindly: Do you want peace, or nuclear peace!?
Kazuki complained, "I'm not lying."
Recently, I've been too carried away with myself!
Big brother, please stop messing around. Just finish speaking honestly, okay?
If you keep messing around, you'll really get beaten to death.
"Kazuki!"
"You saw Wood Release!"
Utatane Koharu's body stiffened in an instant.
Everyone was stunned.
Utatane Koharu coldly shouted, "Uchiha Kazuki, what exactly is your scheme?"
"The above is the entire process of events!"
...Is it that obvious?
"Alright, everyone, look here!" Kazuki clapped his hands, "Don't keep looking at the Third Hokage; he's getting shy."
Although everyone knew that Wood Release was Hashirama Senju's exclusive secret technique.
Two pairs of Mangekyo!
That's Mangekyo!
With two pairs of Mangekyo, the Uchiha would have greater confidence in facing the Hokage faction.
Kurenai's gaze sharpened as she gripped Kazuki's hand.
Some people were lost in thought.
"Although I was playing with you, I was very serious about playing with you. There is an essential difference between the two."
But...
Some still didn't believe, glaring at Uchiha Yishū.
The words fell.
"First, I want to tell everyone that I was tricked at the time, and my mind wasn't clear, so what I saw might not be real."
"Right, Wood Release!" Yishū said. "The moment those people dug out my eyes, the intense pain stimulated me. I used a Fire Style to counterattack. The commotion was a bit big, so those people ran away."
Now, besides Tsunade, there wasn't a single pure Senju clan member.
This scene made many people's sphincters tighten.
Could a mutant have appeared?
"I don't believe it, this guy is just talking nonsense!"
Someone had plotted against Shisui and Yishū, digging out their eyes, and one of them could use Wood Release.
"Then you're saying you saw Hashirama Senju?"
Hashirama Senju?
Everyone present stared, not blinking.
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "..."
Ninja!
"Oh right, where was I just now?"
Yishū suddenly said, "Elder Utatane, your proposal is excellent. I declare here that I support your proposal."
Utatane Koharu walked out of the room, trembling, her mind constantly racing about what to do.
She didn't want to experience Danzō's fate even once.
Or perhaps, this time, regarding the Mangekyo incident, she should side with the Uchiha.
