"It seems this is the 'gag seal' Danzo on his subordinates. Anyone who tries to leak secrets will be killed on the spot."
"That Danzo! I wonder what he's up to! Looks like I have to go find him!" Shiyu looked back at the corpses of the Anbu, and without stopping or hesitating, walked up to the ninjas, placed his hand on his forehead, and Shiyu the bloodline power of Yamanaka, Nara, Akimichi, and Aburame.
"Let's go! We need to find Danzo and get some answers!" Shiyu rushed to the Hokage's office without stopping.
Upon opening the door to the Hokage's office, Shiyu saw the Third Hokage sitting there, with Danzo beside him.
"Shiyu, you've arrived." Hiruzen seemed a little strange.
"Shiyu, you showed up at the worst possible time." Danzo also seemed to strongly dislike Shiyu.
"What do you mean by 'shouldn't be there'?" Shiyu immediately retorted, "I was about to ask you the same thing: why did you send your men to monitor me?"
"Me? I don't have any subordinates, and everything I've done is for Konoha. Your strength is too great; only Hiruzen would trust an Uchiha like you." Danzo clearly disliked the Uchiha, and even more so Shiyu.
"You seem to have already acquired the power of the Mangekyo, haven't you? I think you know better than I how powerful the Mangekyo is. This kind of powerful force can threaten the village at any time. Shouldn't it be under the village's surveillance and protection?"
"You must understand that your life and your power are Konoha's precious assets! As Konoha Ninja, you must be ready to give your life for Konoha at any time! When you should be monitored or isolated, you should obediently listen to orders!" Danzo's reasons were extremely far-fetched and sophistry, revealing a noble exterior but a treacherous heart.
"Then I'd like to know, in order to buy you time to escape, what did you, Second, do in the end? Fear? The desire to survive? A last Danzo?" Shiyu sarcastically retorted, "How many dirty and despicable things have you done in Konoha all these years? You know it yourself. You've been eyeing the Fourth Hokage position for a long time, haven't you?!"
"You, Danzo, were not without inner turmoil. At that time, he was only one step away from becoming Hokage, and because of that simple step, Danzo and Hiruzen drifted further and further apart."
Shigure Danzo with just a few words. This Shiyu, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't act as a peacemaker but listened to Shiyu's entire statement.
"Shiyu, I understand what you mean and I agree with your point of view. Danzo did not do well in this regard."
"Danzo, Konoha ninja, cannot be isolated and protected. They need to protect the village, so I suggest we stop monitoring Shiyu. Dai has already reported this to me; he has also learned the Eight Gates Released Formation."
"Hiruzen! This guy killed the Uchiha Clan, and you clearly had enough evidence, but not only did you not blame him, you even took him as your disciple!" Danzo also vented his resentment.
"Danzo! Stop talking!" Hiruzen was clearly getting angry.
"How many fellow ninjas has this guy killed!? Once the Uchiha Clan is immersed in power and hatred, they will have endless power. With the Mangekyo and such terrifying strength and potential, he is no less of a threat to the village than Madara Uchiha!" Danzo reminded him again.
"Danzo! Stop talking!" Hiruzen's anger was clearly building up.
"The Second knew this, which is why he left his will behind. We should follow his will. But I've said too much, and you'll blame everything on me again." Danzo wasn't stupid; he knew when to stop. He had said enough, so he immediately turned and left.
"Did I let you leave?" Shiyu said coldly.
"What!?" Danzo also shocked; he clearly saw killing intent in Shiyu's eyes.
"Shiyu. Forget it." Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head.
"This guy sent people to spy on me, and in the end they even tried to kill me! I can't stand this." Under Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze, Shiyu used the Flying Thunder God. Back during the Chunin Exams, Shiyu had left the Flying Thunder God Formula seal on Danzo.
This technique will never disappear.
"Whoosh!" Shiyu's Body Flicker Technique speed was so fast that even the Third Hokage was startled.
"Shiyu! No!" Hiruzen Sarutobi tried to stop Shiyu, but it was too late.
"Draw your sword and cut the water!" Shiyu drew his meteor sword, Danzo instinctively used his right arm to block it.
"Pfft!" Blood instantly filled the Hokage's office; Danzo's right arm had been severed just like that.
"Ah!!! You brat!?!" Danzo both shocked and terrified. He was terrified that Shiyu's attack was so fast that he couldn't even resist. He was shocked that Shiyu must be crazy to dare to attack him with the Third Hokage right next to him.
As expected, the Third Hokage's expression changed.
"Summoning Technique!" The Third Hokage summoned the Enma directly, looking quite menacing.
"Shiyu, I never imagined you would directly attack a fellow villager. This guy is the Hokage's assistant, your senior. Although he's a bit extreme, he's always thinking of Konoha. But really, was it necessary to go to such lengths?" The Third Hokage said, staring at Shiyu.
Shiyu shook his head and said, "This guy has tried to kill me many times, all for the sake of taking my mutated Mangekyō Sharingan. I can't let the culprit who tried to kill me get away with it, can I?"
The Third Hokage shook his head and said, "Shiyu, do you really think those people were sent by Danzo to steal your eyes?"
"You mean
"I'm sorry, Shiyu. The reason those five ninjas were sent to monitor you was a decision made by the Konoha High Command. Danzo was only responsible for having someone keep an eye on you."
Shiyu was taken aback and then asked, "So, even you agree?! Then, the reason you had me learn the Eight Inner Gates... could it be..."
"Yes, the Eight Inner Gates is not something that can be learned easily. We originally thought it would take you at least four or five years to learn, but... we didn't expect you to only take two years. We still underestimated your talent. The Third Hokage also showed Shiyu the bloody truth."
"So that's how it is. You kept me away from the battlefield for two years, monitoring and restricting me. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of the Uchiha? Or are you afraid of me, Shiyu?"
"Are you afraid I'll compete with you for the Hokage position!? Danzo?"
"Don't I know that Uchiha can't be Hokage? Haha!" Shiyu suddenly realized how narrow-minded the two people in front of him were.
"Of course it's you! You single-handedly annihilated eight thousand troops from Kumogakure! You single-handedly fought your way to the One Line Sky of Sunagakure! You single-handedly repelled the entire Iwagakure! Your strength is already far too great. If we don't restrain you, how are we supposed to cope?"
"I understand, Shiyu understands."
