A World Where Only Danzo Was Harmed

Afternoon.

A deafening roar erupted from the abandoned land northwest of Konohagakure, followed by violent tremors that plunged the entire village into panic.

"Enemy attack!"

Ninja transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards the source of the disturbance. The immense commotion cast a dark cloud of unease over everyone's hearts.

Some faces showed fear, their thoughts drifting back to that night two years ago...

Fortunately, the battle didn't seem to last long.

Before long, the ninja who went to support returned, bringing the latest intelligence.

The village had been attacked by an unknown rogue ninja, causing a massive sinkhole. However, thanks to the timely arrival of Lady Tsunade and Jiraiya, all losses were minimized.

"As expected of Lady Tsunade!"

"Long live Jiraiya!"

"The legendary Sannin are truly powerful!"

Cheers erupted throughout the village.

Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office building, within the conference room.

The Third Hokage, accompanied by his two Hokage advisors, silently smoked his pipe.

In the swirling smoke, Shimura Danzo's battered body lay broken.

His face was pale and covered in blood. His entire left arm had been ripped off, and despite receiving timely treatment, he still looked utterly pathetic.

Jiraiya, his expression grim, held back a furious Tsunade. Standing not far from them was an unexpected figure – Senju Nawaki.

It was Nawaki who had ripped off Danzo's left arm.

At this moment, the "disgrace of the Senju," as Qing Xuan called him, wore a dark expression, his eyes filled with a murderous intent that was a stark contrast to his previously decadent and warm smile.

The Third Hokage continued to smoke, his lowered eyes observing the two parties who were like fire and water.

Danzo, who had always been so successful, had finally run into a hard obstacle.

He still treated Uchiha Qing Xuan as one of those subservient Uchihas from the past, forgetting the child's other identity and failing to consider that the entire Senju Clan and two of the Sannin stood behind him.

No! It should be all three Sannin!

Not long ago, Danzo had received a secret message from Orochimaru. This was something Orochimaru, who had just defected, would never have done.

Yet, he had risked it to inform him – if Danzo dared to make another move against Uchiha Qing Xuan, he would pay an unbearable price!

Putting these aside, Danzo turned his gaze to the Third Hokage, who was still smoking. Was it your doing, Hiruzen, that the Anbu led by Sarutobi Shin'nosuke and the Jonin squad around Shikaku Nara had been so slow to respond?

At that moment, he finally saw the terrifying power hidden behind this child.

When his life was threatened, those who had been silently watching him would unreservedly appear before him and erect a strong wall!

But! The problem was, had they misunderstood something!

A flicker of anger appeared on Danzo's pale face. He hadn't sent anyone to assassinate Uchiha Qing Xuan at all!

Damn Tsunade, she didn't even give him a chance to explain and just attacked, even letting Senju Nawaki break his arm. Neither of these siblings had any composure!

And that bastard Jiraiya, was that how you break up a fight? While telling others to calm down, you summoned toads. I'll settle the score with you for destroying the entire Root's base!

Of course, his priority now was to survive!

"I actually never gave the order to assassinate Uchiha Qing Xuan,"

Danzo said expressionlessly. "The other party was clearly impersonating..."

Before he could finish, several blood-stained masks were roughly thrown onto his face by Tsunade.

The masks clattered to the ground, hitting his entire face and causing him pain.

However, Danzo couldn't care about that anymore, because he saw the familiar patterns on the masks.

He stared at the masks on the ground with his left eye, and after a moment of silence, he spoke in a hoarse voice, like an old dog betrayed.

"It was Liu Yun's subordinates..."

He looked up, and before he could say anything else, he felt a gust of wind rush towards him. The next moment, he felt difficulty breathing, and his entire body was grabbed by the throat and lifted from the ground.

Danzo struggled with all his might, his eyes meeting Tsunade's murderous gaze, as cold as a winter frost.

Her slender fingers slowly tightened, her eyes filled only with cold, murderous intent, as she intended to crush his throat bit by bit.

"Enough! Tsunade!"

The Third Hokage's voice finally rang out, but Tsunade was deafeningly ignoring him, determined to kill Danzo!

"Are you going to kill someone in front of your own son?"

The Third Hokage's sigh was like a heavy hammer. The hand gripping Danzo's throat suddenly loosened, and Danzo fell heavily to the ground, finally able to gasp for air.

The conference room door had opened at some point, and a hand reached out to hold Tsunade's lowered left hand. The warmth felt like summer sunlight, dispelling all the gloom in her heart.

"Let's go back, Mom!"

Tsunade trembled violently and suddenly leaned down to embrace Qing Xuan, her immense strength nearly crushing him.

After a long while, a single crystal tear fell. She finally looked up, revealing a smiling face, and patted Qing Xuan's head, holding his hand tightly.

"Okay! Mommy will take you away right now!"

Her resolute tone stunned not only Qing Xuan but also everyone present.

"Wait! Tsunade, where are you taking him?"

Facing the Third Hokage's questioning, Tsunade didn't turn her head, her voice stiff as she replied, "Of course, I'm taking him out of the village!"

Two Anbu members silently appeared at the doorway, blocking Tsunade's path.

A hint of disdain flickered across Tsunade's face. "Do you two think you can stop me just because you're a couple?"

The Third Hokage rubbed his temples, a headache forming. He truly didn't want to see this scene unfold. Helplessly, he asked, "Why do you want to take him away?"

Tsunade showed no mercy. "You're asking the obvious. It's too dangerous for him to stay in this village."

Those words were equivalent to slapping the Third Hokage in the face.

The village protected everyone; how could someone be in danger within its borders?

The Third Hokage seemed to age instantly. He glared at Danzo, contemplating how to respond. Just then, Qing Xuan's voice echoed through the conference room.

"Mom, I'm not leaving with you."

Suddenly, all eyes fell on him.

What a joke! He'd already practically conquered the entire Uchiha clan, and with the favor he'd gained from the Hokage faction, in another two or three years, everyone's fate would be changed. He'd be unstoppable then!

How could he possibly leave so easily?

"But it's very dangerous for you to stay here! Don't you know that?"

Facing Tsunade's confused gaze, Qing Xuan asked with a bewildered expression, "But someone told me that if a woman asks me to leave and live with her, I should never agree!"

"Why?"

Tsunade's brow furrowed, her gaze sharpening. Nawaki, standing behind her, shivered violently, a sudden sense of foreboding washing over him.

Why does that sound so familiar?

"He said that if I agree, I'll end up living a life of hardship, and my whole life will be ruined!"

"Pfft!"

The petite Anbu member on the right side of the doorway couldn't help but chuckle.

The previously heavy atmosphere began to lighten.

Only Tsunade felt a growing sense of shame and anger. Madness flashed in her eyes as she demanded, "Who told you that?"

Qing Xuan's gaze shifted to Nawaki, who was already trembling, and he betrayed him without hesitation. "Uncle Nawaki told me!"

Instantly, a thunderous roar erupted from the conference room.

"Senju Nawaki! What exactly have you been teaching him?"

"No! Don't! Listen to my explanation! Ah! Ow ow ow! Don't hit my face!"

"Tsunade! Calm down! Tsunade!"
