Pot King, Take This Pot!~

Swish! Swish!

Two figures stood before Uchiha White Dove, unable to take another step forward, as if they had become wooden puppets.

Sharingan!

Watching Uchiha White Dove's pupils turn blood-red, everyone understood the reason.

Yes, the two Root members had been trapped by the Sharingan's genjutsu.

This was the advantage of a Kekkei Genkai; it required no hand seals and no preparation, allowing it to be used instantly, which was precisely why it was so formidable.

It was because of the power of the Sharingan that the ninja world had the proverb: "If you face an Uchiha one-on-one, you must run!"

"Lord Hokage, it seems someone is not following your orders!"

White Dove cast a mocking glance at Danzo.

The man wanted to fish in troubled waters, but there was no chance of that.

Having transplanted the Mangekyo, he naturally had the confidence to control the situation.

"I will handle this matter!" Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and ordered in a stern tone, "Take Danzo away to await judgment!"

It appeared heartless, but in reality, it was a way to help Danzo.

Once he left this place, it would not be easy to capture concrete evidence against him.

Coo! Coo!

The sound of pigeons suddenly rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

The Hokage Faction did not know the details of the battle at Naka Shrine the previous night, so they naturally did not understand what these pigeons represented.

However, among the Uchiha, those high-ranking members who had attended the clan meeting at Naka Shrine seemed to recall something.

White pigeons scattered and flew down.

One of them happened to fly right past Danzo.

Swish!

Uchiha White Dove vanished from the front of the formation and appeared right beside Danzo.

The man and the pigeon had swapped positions.

Flying White Pigeon Technique!

This technique could be called an alternative version of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Compared to it, there were both advantages and disadvantages.

However, when facing an opponent who lacked intelligence on the technique, even the strongest enemy would suffer.

The reason Uchiha Fugaku, a Kage-level powerhouse who dared not use his full strength, had been forced into such a pathetic state the previous night was entirely due to the influence of the Flying White Pigeon Technique.

Now, he had used this technique once again.

"What are you trying to do?"

"How bold!"

"Stop him quickly!"

The Hokage Faction was somewhat panicked.

Even the ninja clans that had been watching from the sidelines as mere background scenery began to take action.

Even if they did not like Sarutobi Hiruzen and his group, they would not stand idly by if the Uchiha were truly launching a rebellion.

Yet, before they could even make a move, they realized there was no need.

Because Uchiha White Dove did not take the opportunity to attack Danzo; instead, his right hand flashed like lightning across Danzo's right eye.

Shing!

The long bandage was ripped away.

Countless eyes focused on Danzo's right eye, which had hurriedly squeezed shut due to the sudden irritation of the light.

Within the blood-red eye, three black tomoe were clearly visible.

Three-Tomoe Sharingan!

Because Danzo was not an Uchiha, he could not freely deactivate the Sharingan. Thus, the moment the bandage was removed, it was exposed—much like Kakashi, who was also unable to control it at will.

"This..."

"It really is a Sharingan!"

"Damn it, isn't Danzo the one who hates the Uchiha the most?"

"Perhaps it's a case of love turning into hate; after all, the Sharingan is truly too powerful!"

"We must not let Danzo go!"

Countless voices filled with rage erupted.

Facing the Anbu surrounding him—who had been prepared to capture him but had now halted their advance due to the Sharingan displayed by Danzo—Uchiha White Dove spoke in an indifferent tone:

"I said it before: the Sharingan isn't exclusive to the Uchiha. I suspect the Nine-Tails Incident is linked to Danzo. After all, with the Fourth Hokage dead, the seat of the Hokage became vacant!"

As he spoke, he cast a mocking gaze at those around him, as if to highlight how ridiculous it was to suspect the Uchiha of orchestrating the Nine-Tails Incident.

Whitewashing!

Uchiha White Dove intended to use Danzo to whitewash the Uchiha clan.

While it was true that the Nine-Tails incident was caused by Obito, an Uchiha, the problem was that no one else knew that. Therefore, wasn't it perfect to dump this pot of blame onto Danzo?

Danzo, the Pot King!

Whenever there is a pot of blame, just dump it on him.

Furthermore, it would be genuinely difficult for him to explain himself clearly.

After all, he and Root truly had not taken action during the Nine-Tails Incident; even if they had appeared, who could tell if it was a Shadow Clone or the real person before they actually engaged in combat?

"You!"

"How dare you..."

"How could this old man possibly control the Nine-Tails!"

Danzo was nearly driven mad with rage.

Because during the Nine-Tails Incident, although he hadn't taken action, he hadn't caused trouble either; he had acted entirely to preserve the strength of Root.

But now that this bucket of dirty water had been splashed onto him, his actions to preserve strength looked suspicious no matter how one viewed them.

As for controlling the Nine-Tails?

Of course he wanted to; he dreamed of it constantly. It was just that Sarutobi Hiruzen had kept the Jinchuriki firmly in his own hands, never giving him any opportunity to make contact.

"Then can you explain why you and Root didn't take action that day, instead leaving it to the Fourth and Third Hokage? It couldn't possibly be that you were preserving your strength while watching them risk their lives, could it?"

Uchiha White Dove pressed him with the question.

Danzo had no way to answer this question... he couldn't exactly say that was precisely what he had been thinking, could he?

"It seems you have nothing to say. You're admitting it by your silence, aren't you?"

Uchiha White Dove "concluded" bluntly.

Regardless of the truth, it was best to dump this black pot onto his opponent first.

"This old man..."

Danzo was completely speechless at this moment.

If he were in someone else's shoes, he might even think he really was the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails Incident.

But he knew very well that he wasn't, so he glared furiously at Uchiha White Dove.

Facing such a gaze, Uchiha White Dove felt immense enjoyment.

The feeling of using an information advantage to "steer the narrative" was truly exhilarating.

Even the "Darkness of the Shinobi," Danzo, had been splashed with a bucket of filth by his own hand.

Only the person who wrongs you knows just how wronged you truly are!

At this moment, Uchiha White Dove naturally knew just how wronged Danzo was, but he certainly wouldn't help the man clear his name.

As for the Wood Release on the man's right arm and the Sharingan embedded within it, there was no need to expose them just yet; he could still use Danzo to strike at the Hokage Faction in the future.

In any case, as long as Danzo existed, there would always be a major flaw to exploit when attacking the Hokage Faction.

This was a true "god-tier teammate," far superior to the "pig-teammate" Uchiha Fugaku.

Even if someone wanted to assassinate Danzo, Uchiha White Dove would never agree to it; he might even step in to save the man.

"Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique!"

Seizing the opening, Uchiha White Dove unleashed a genjutsu empowered by his Mangekyo, pinning down Danzo just as he was about to say something more.

"You..."

Danzo's attempt at an explanation was cut short instantly, and his entire body stood frozen like a puppet.

Uchiha White Dove's lips curled upward.

He was well aware that his opponent surely possessed a vast array of hidden cards and might truly be able to turn the situation around.

But couldn't I just "ban his account" directly?

If I don't give you the chance to speak or act, it doesn't matter how many methods you have.

"Uchiha White Dove!!"

Seeing Danzo's state, Utatane Koharu was overcome with uncontrollable rage.

In her view, even if Danzo had committed a crime, he should be dealt with by the Hokage; it was not for some Uchiha brat to take action.

If he dared to move against Danzo today, he would dare to move against her tomorrow, and she dared not even imagine what he might do the day after.

"Advisor Utatane, as the Police Force Captain, I am assisting the Anbu in apprehending a criminal. May I ask what the problem is?"

White Dove asked, feigning ignorance.

That was a lethal blow to the heart!

To strike at a member of the F4 like Danzo and then ask Utatane Koharu if there was a problem was indeed going too far.

"...Even if you, White Dove, wish to share the burden for the Hokage, that is no excuse for such rash action!"

Mitokado Homura took over the conversation.

He could naturally use his status as an advisor elder to pressure ordinary Uchiha clansmen, but the Police Force Captain held the same rank as the advisor elders, so he tempered his tone slightly.

"Elder Mitokado is right, but I would like to know: in the eyes of 'Lord' Danzo, is that Sharingan Shisui's eye? And furthermore, how should he be dealt with?"

White Dove pointed toward Danzo's right eye.

"Lord White Dove, Shisui's Sharingan is our clan's greatest treasure; we must recover it at all costs!"

Uchiha Setsuna could not hide the smile on his face at seeing Danzo's misfortune, but when the "Shisui Sharingan" was mentioned, he could not help but speak up to remind him.

The Kekkei Genkai must never be allowed to leak out; this was the iron rule of all major bloodline clans. Countless lives had been lost across the ninja world to reclaim such powers, making this an incredibly grave matter.

Not to mention a Sharingan of the "Mangekyo" level—to reclaim it, the Uchiha would be willing to stop at nothing.

"I believe Lord Hokage will give us Uchiha a reasonable explanation!"

White Dove pacified his clansman, who was already on the verge of exploding, and shifted the burden onto Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In reality, as a transmigrator, he did not possess the same heavy obsession with Kekkei Genkai as the people of this world.

In his view, it was always the person who was strong, not the Kekkei Genkai.

Just like how "the First Hokage used Wood Release to conquer the world, while Yamato used Wood Release for landscaping," rather than taking back this three-tomoe eye, it would be better to leave it as a stain on the Hokage Faction while securing tangible benefits instead.

For instance, trading for the true Mangekyo in Kakashi's eye, or securing advantages for the Uchiha.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen soon made his decision.
