Chiyo remained unmoved.
A mere Hokage Advisor wanted to command the Uchiha Clan?
Even if the Hokage himself came, he would have to stand aside and watch!
Chiyo accurately hurled a kunai wrapped in Explosive Tags into the crowd.
Explosions rang out one after another.
Danzo stood where he was, watching Chiyo lead the Uchiha in attacking without restraint.
His fingernails dug into his palms, and his body trembled slightly.
Though no one could understand Danzo's feelings, they could tell from his face.
He must have been cursing viciously inside.
The battle soon came to an end.
Chiyo led the Uchiha to a concealed location to rest briefly.
Danzo appeared before them, his gaze carrying a hint of accusation and coldness.

Though Chiyo's answer disgusted him as much as swallowing fly dung, he had to admit that Chiyo's argument was sound.
Even if this was brought before Hiruzen, that explanation would still be reasonable.
In the end, Hiruzen
