Danzo eventually died. In his final moments, the only thing he could choose was how he would die. He believed that no one in the world could judge him. Danzo chose to commit suicide.
"Wind, take him back!"
This is Orochimaru's greatest respect for his former rival.
"Let's go back!"
Orochimaru addressed Karot and the others, ignoring Orochimaru Jiraiya, and went straight back to the village.
Goodbye, Kakashi.
Karot said hello and then went back.
"What should the teacher do now?"
Minato asked Jiraiya, "We've come all this way and done nothing but watch. And we haven't even completed the Lord Hokage's mission. Danzo is dead. How are we going to explain this?"
"Let's go back!"
Jiraiya having a headache. Now that Orochimaru had thwarted Danzo's defection, his prestige would rise once again. Minato's chances were becoming increasingly slim. Moreover, with Karot's help, would the others have ulterior motives? Would the Jonin defect to Orochimaru? These were all problems.
Filled with worry Jiraiya and the others turned and went back.
"What? Danzo is dead?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen Jiraiya in shock, as if trying to read a joke from Jiraiya's face. That was Jiraiya, after Danzo; even he wasn't sure he could kill him.
Seeing Jiraiya's silent expression Sarutobi Hiruzen finally accepted the fact.
How did he die?
"He committed suicide."
"What?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was completely stunned by this news. He would rather believe that pigs could Sarutobi Hiruzen Danzo commit suicide.
Jiraiya if you saw it with your own eyes, Jiraiya wouldn't believe it. But that's the truth. He had no choice but to believe it.
Then Jiraiya explained the whole story, and Sarutobi Hiruzen finally accepted the fact.
"He died five times before finally committing suicide. How desperate Danzo must have been in the end."
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a pang of sorrow for his old friend in the end, which ultimately led him to commit suicide.
"Hiruzen, Orochimaru, hasn't he gone too far?"
Koharu, who was serving the Koharu, spoke up. She and Danzo had become disciples of the Second Hokage together and had been close for decades. Their relationship had always been good. Now, Danzo was essentially being driven to his death by Orochimaru. She felt a sense of shared sorrow for Danzo's fate.
"Yes, Hiruzen is really getting too big for Orochimaru now. He's arbitrarily mobilizing ninjas, which is against the rules."
Mitokado Homura naturally wanted to sow discord between Orochimaru and Danzo. Danzo had many business dealings with Danzo, and now that Danzo was dead, wasn't Orochimaru cutting off his source of income?
Seeing that both of his advisors had opinions about Orochimaru, Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a terrible predicament.
"Are you two pigs? You can't see the bigger picture, you're only focused on your own little corner. Orochimaru's power has grown significantly, and most importantly, Orochimaru strength is still on the rise, while mine has already begun to decline."
Sarutobi Hiruzen, of course, would not reveal these things.
"Danzo's defection resulted in this outcome, which was entirely his own fault. Orochimaru did nothing wrong."
Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to set the tone for this matter. Since Orochimaru is already unstoppable, then I'll see if you can succeed.
"By the way, teacher, there's something I still need to tell you."
Jiraiya finally decided to tell the truth.
"Oh, is there anything else?"
Jiraiya's solemn expression foreshadowed that this matter was extraordinary.
"You should try your best not to provoke Karot; he's terrifying. No one in Konoha is his match. He could destroy the entire Konoha in a single moment."
Jiraiya's words made Sarutobi Hiruzen take Karot even more seriously. Sarutobi Hiruzen knew Karot was strong, but from Jiraiya's words, he still underestimated Karot. After all Jiraiya Sarutobi Hiruzen n't joke about something like that.
"I understand, you may all leave!"
When Sarutobi Hiruzen was the only one left in the room, he turned off the light. Only the flickering light of his pipe revealed that someone else was still in the office. From the dim glow of the pipe, one could see Sarutobi Hiruzen's pensive expression.
After returning from outside, Karot Shisui Orochimaru heading straight home. Having witnessed such a grand spectacle, it was time for him to get some rest.
"Shisui, I want to talk to you."
Fugaku Uchiha caught up with Shisui, who was on his way home.
Shisui thought about it and agreed. Fugaku Uchiha had taken great care of Shisui when he Shisui and had even given him special training. However, this training created a rift between them when Shisui chose to join Karot.
Fugaku Uchiha brought Shisui to his home. Uchiha Shisui hadn't been here in a long time; he used to be a regular. Whenever Fugaku Uchiha returned from a mission, he'd ask Shisui to come eat here. Fugaku also frequently had Shisui teach his son, Uchiha Itachi. Now, this place had become a familiar yet strange place, simply because the two had made different choices.
Without any pleasantries, Fugaku Uchiha got straight to the point.
"Shisui, just how strong is Karot?"
This question had been nagging at Fugaku Uchiha's mind all night. Tonight, overwhelmed by Karot's aura, Fugaku Uchiha nearly awakened his Mangekyo, almost revealing his long-hidden secret. A Mangekyo with the Uchiha is different from one Mangekyo. The village's higher-ups have always been wary of the Uchiha Mangekyo. Even when the Uchiha wanted to go to war to help Konoha, they were delayed by the higher-ups with various excuses. This was because going to war would stimulate the Uchiha and cause them to awaken their Mangekyou Sharingan. They wanted to prevent this from happening, so they imposed various restrictions on the Uchiha.
Minato's appearance gave Fugaku Uchiha hope, hope that the Uchiha could break free from all restrictions.
"Unfathomable".
Shisui revealed his guess about Karot's strength, because Shisui had long since lost track of Karot's power.
"Shisui, do you think Orochimaru and Karot will treat our Uchiha?"
Through past interactions with Orochimaru became very interested in the Sharingan of the Uchiha. Fugaku Uchiha feared that Orochimaru would become another Danzo, targeting the Uchiha and stealing their Sharingan.
"Clan Head, have you awakened the Mangekyo?"
Although it was a question, the tone was very certain, which was the aura that Shisui had inadvertently exuded when he saw Fugaku resisting Karot's momentum tonight. Shisui had caught it.
"Yes."
Fugaku did not deny it, but Fugaku eyes instantly changed to another pattern.
