The last sentence was spoken by Danzo. After hearing it, Shiyu suddenly understood and was no longer so angry.
"Is this what they call 'merits that overshadow the master'?" Shiyu thought to herself.
"Shiyu, Danzo needs treatment and needs to be taken to the hospital immediately." The Third Hokage looked at Danzo's pale face and felt a pang of pity.
Shiyu shook her head, bit her finger, and made a cut on her hand.
"Summoning Technique!"
Then a small Slug Sage appeared before everyone.
"This is the Slug Sage of Shikkotsu Forest, who can stop Danzo's bleeding. Third Hokage, answer my question."
"Third Hokage, "Danzo said, "You knew a long time ago that I killed the Uchiha? Why didn't you just capture me then? Why did you take me as your disciple instead?" Shiyu asked.
"At that time, Hiruzen Sarutobi also recalled it."
"Because you are different from the other Uchiha Clan, the extent to which the Uchiha Clan targets you has exceeded my expectations. You and your sister are living a very difficult life."
"Your parents were heroes who died fighting for Konoha. Even knowing that there was conflict between you, I still chose you without hesitation."
"Back then, Kage Level chakra suddenly erupted from a certain direction in Konoha, so I went to investigate with the Anbu. At that time, you were the only one around. After I learned that you were their child, I suspected that you were the one who emitted the Kage Level chakra." Hiruzen Sarutobi recounted everything from the past.
Shiyu was a little confused this time.
"Why? I'm their child, so I should have Kage Level chakra? Are they all experts? Then why have I never heard of them in Konoha?" Shiyu asked.
The Third Hokage sighed and said, "I think you are aware that the major clans of Konoha prohibit marriage between people of different bloodlines in order to maintain the purity of their bloodlines and strengthen their clans. But your father and your mother broke this rule."
"Especially the Uchiha Clan, after learning about this, erased your father's name. Konoha, which should have regarded him as a hero, could do nothing."
"Your parents are both unparalleled geniuses, and you are a genius who has surpassed them. I know your past and your parents, and that's why I'm treating you this way." The Third Hokage revealed what he knew.
In this way, Shiyu's anger dissipated by more than half. The Third Hokage understood his past and knew that he did not kill without reason, so it was normal for him to suspect or be wary of him.
However, Shiyu knew that he had already fallen out with Danzo, and the Third Hokage had to do something, otherwise he would have no way to explain himself.
"Lord Third, perhaps you sent those ninjas to spy on me, but Danzo put a gag on them. They are already Danzo's secret force." Shiyu looked at Hiruzen, who seemed somewhat distrustful of him, and knew that whatever he said was of no use.
"Fine, since the Third Hokage has already summoned the Enma King, then I'm going to fight you no matter what." Shiyu walked up to Danzo and took the Katsuyu back.
Danzo had passed out, but he was basically fine now.
Then Shiyu turned around and mysteriously appeared behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, before jumping out of the window.
Immediately afterwards, Shiyu moved upwards rapidly.
"Shiyu!" the Third Hokage shouted, then said to the Enma King beside him, "Please, don't hurt him."
"Tap tap tap!" The two walked to the rooftop of the Hokage, where the view was wide and they could clearly see Hokage Yan Yan.
"Shiyu, things haven't escalated to the point where we, master and disciple, must draw our swords against each other. There's still room for redemption," Hiruzen Sarutobi advised, glancing at the Anbu who had gathered around him. "You all step back. This is a battle between master and disciple."
"Sooner or later, I will have to leave Konoha, and I can never become Hokage. Even if I am recognized by the vast majority of people, that is only in terms of talent and strength. As long as the name of Uchiha exists, I cannot become Hokage."
"From the moment the First Hokage and Madara jointly established Konoha, it was destined that even the Uchiha, who inherited the so-called Will of Fire, had no future." Shiyu thought of the battle Hashirama Senju at the Valley of the End, in Hashirama, for the sake of the village, still turned against Madara.
"Teacher Sarutobi, please make your move! If you win, I'll go to Konoha Prison; if you lose, I'll leave Konoha." Shiyu finally made his choice.
"Alright, let me pull you back, Shiyu!" Hiruzen Sarutobi took off his Hokage outfit, revealing the armor underneath, and then charged aggressively towards Shiyu.
"The Lord Third's skills are truly amazing!"
"I never expected that the uncle who usually smokes and handles business would be so strong!"
"Are you new here? This is the Third Hokage!"
The Anbu were discussing it nearby.
At this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi was at his peak, far surpassing his strength when fighting Orochimaru in the original story.
"Enma!" the Third Hokage shouted. At that moment, the Enma King transformed into the Adamantine Staff and swung it. The Third Hokage struck at him with the cudgel.
"Bang!!!"
A cloud of smoke and dust billowed around them, and when it cleared, everyone was shocked once again.
"What!?"
"He did it with just one hand."
It turned out that Shiyu had only used one hand to grab the Adamantine Staff, and no matter how hard the Third Hokage tried, he could not pull it out of Shiyu's hand.
"I see! Is this some kind of superhuman strength similar to Tsunade's?" The Third Hokage, with his rich experience, immediately released the Ruyi Jingu Bang and exclaimed, "Adamantine Prison Wall!"
"Bang!" The Ruyi Jingu Bang split into dozens of pieces, which combined to form a cage that trapped Shiyu.
"Impressive! They trapped the Light of the Shinobi World in just one exchange!"
"Master is indeed more capable than his disciple!"
"The battle has only just begun! Pay attention to the Light of the Shinobi World!"
The Anbu were discussing it.
"In this way, you can make Hiruzen Sarutobi think the battle is over."
"Teacher Sarutobi, you're too naive. Do you think you can trap me with this?" Shiyu shook his head, and a large amount of light blue chakra burst out from his body. In that instant, Susanoo's arm broke through the cage of the Adamantine Staff.
The dozen or so Ruyi Jingu Bangs turned into smoke with a bang and disappeared, and the real Ruyi Jingu Bangs returned to Hiruzen Sarutobi's hands.
"Indeed, you've become much stronger. It seems that defeating you won't be an easy task," Hiruzen Sarutobi said seriously.
"Of course! Use your true strength, I won't surrender easily." Shiyu also wanted to see just how strong the so-called strongest Hokage of all time really was at his peak.
"Bang!" Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his Ruyi Jingu Bang into the ground and began Hand Seals.
