The sudden reversal of the situation was completely beyond Shimura Danzō's expectations.
No matter how much he had imagined, he would never have expected things to turn out like this!
That brat, Hyuga Sho, had saved Kohinata Mukai.
The man who should have been killed by Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui was actually still alive and well!
And the other man... he looked like Jurozaemon Biwa, a former member of Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen!
When had he...
Moreover.
It seemed...
Ox-Head and Horse-Face had long since died...
Had Kohinata Mukai and Jurozaemon Biwa been feeding him false information all along?
Perhaps the information had always been true, but that was precisely why he had gradually let his guard down.
At the final moment, everything had fallen apart!
And Mitokado Homura...
He had actually been turned.
How had Hyuga Sho persuaded him?!
Everything...
Everything made Shimura Danzō realize that he had been manipulated.
Now.
The forces standing on opposite sides.
One side was the Uchiha Clan.
The other was the Hyuga Clan and the Torture Department.
They were all Hyuga Sho's people!
In this situation, there was nothing he could say to defend himself.
Whether the matter was black or white, it would all benefit Hyuga Sho...
And...
What was even more ruthless was that Hyuga Sho had not revealed the plan to everyone.
Morino Ibiki and the others.
Uchiha Yashiro and the others.
They stared at Danzō and Utatane Koharu, who had fallen not far from him, as if they had seen ghosts.
This meant that they had known nothing about it.
They had no idea that Hyuga Sho had "framed" Danzō!
It was indeed Mitokado Homura who had made a move and stabbed Utatane Koharu in the back.
But Mitokado Homura would never admit it.
In Konoha.
The contrast
