Sweating Profusely

The Third Hokage watched Qingcheng begin summoning the dead again, his face instantly paling in fright. He quickly called out, "Qingcheng-kun, you are an Uchiha who inherits the Will of Fire. You mustn't act recklessly. Matters of the village should be left for me to handle."

The Third Hokage continued, a worried expression on his face, "On that note, Yongcheng must be very busy in the Underworld. As a son, how can you constantly bother your father?"

Qingcheng's Shadow Clone heard the Third Hokage's words and nodded, saying with a serious expression, "Lord Third, you're right. We are people of the living world. It's indeed not good to keep calling our father from the Underworld for help."

The Shadow Clone then picked up a Three-pronged Kunai and, with a mystical air, chanted, "Heaven and Earth are infinite, the Human Path is vast, the Immortal Path is boundless, the Demonic Path is joyous in the evening. Great God of Asura, step aside!"

The Konoha Elders were all shocked. It was their first encounter with the supernatural, and Qingcheng's Shadow Clone had completely bewildered them.

It was also the Third Hokage's first time witnessing such a spectacle. As a ninja, his role was to portray a kind and benevolent Third Hokage. He couldn't allow any more terrifying incidents to happen that would destroy Konoha under his watch, so Hiruzen Sarutobi always chose to compromise.

Seeing this, the Third Hokage immediately asked, "Qingcheng-kun, how do you want me to punish Danzo? Konoha will give you a satisfactory explanation."

Danzo watched Qingcheng's actions, his eyes bloodshot and his face filled with rage. But seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi already compromising, he immediately retorted, "Hiruzen, you are the Hokage! Do we, the Konoha Elders, really have to be afraid of this Uchiha?"

Qingcheng's Shadow Clone immediately shouted, "Just a tiny Konoha! My father in the Underworld tramples the Sage of Six Paths underfoot and commands a hundred thousand Underworld Soldiers! Even Uchiha Madara would respectfully call him 'Lord God of Asura' if he saw him!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was greatly alarmed and said nervously, "How did Yongcheng-kun manage that? To become a great deity in spirit form?"

Qingcheng's Shadow Clone said proudly, "Let's not talk about that for now. Wait until I call him up, then you can ask!"

With that, the Shadow Clone raised the Three-pronged Kunai again, preparing to infuse it with Chakra, and shouted, "Rin, Pyo, Toh, Sha..."

The Third Hokage immediately interjected, "Stop! Stop, Qingcheng-kun! We're not that curious, just a little confused. Since you don't know, we won't ask anymore."

Homura Mitokado also said nervously, "Exactly... exactly. We are all people of the living world. Let's not disturb the envoys of the Underworld."

Danzo, seeing the Konoha Elders softening, angrily shouted, "You fools! How long will you let him deceive you?"

The Third Hokage reprimanded Danzo, "You've overstepped, Danzo. I am the Hokage." He then asked, "Qingcheng-kun, what do you think is the best way to handle this matter?"

Qingcheng's Shadow Clone said with a proud and very serious expression, "It's better to call my father up and have him eradicate Root and the Shimura Clan. That would save everyone a lot of trouble."

The Third Hokage heard this and said very seriously, "Qingcheng-kun, you are a person who inherits the Will of Fire. Casually killing fellow villagers would be a desecration of the Will of Fire."

Qingcheng immediately shouted, "Then what about Danzo sending Root ninjas to assassinate Kurenai Yuhi, Yugao Uzuki, and Hayate Gekko, even killing Hayate Gekko? Isn't that a desecration of the Will of Fire? How can such a person be fit to be a Konoha Elder?"

The Third Hokage heard Qingcheng's words and said angrily, "Danzo, you actually attacked Konoha ninjas! I am now removing you from your position as a Konoha Elder. From now on, you will be under lifelong house arrest in the Shimura Clan compound. You are never to step out of the Shimura Clan compound without my command!"

Qingcheng then pointed at Danzo's right eye and said sternly, "Under that bandage is Uchiha Shisui's eye. It must be returned to my Uchiha Clan now!"

The other Konoha Elders were all wide-eyed, looking at Danzo in disbelief and saying seriously, "Danzo, is your eye really Uchiha Shisui's?"

The Third Hokage was also very afraid, but his expression was perfectly in place. He angrily reprimanded, "Danzo, is Uchiha Shisui's eye really under your bandage?"

Danzo saw his comrades' accusations and immediately shook his head in denial, then angrily shouted, "My eye went blind for Konoha! And you dare to accuse me?"

Then Danzo glared viciously at Qingcheng and said ferociously, "It's all your fault, you evil Uchiha brat! I'll kill you right now!"

With that, Danzo prepared to attack Qingcheng, forming a hand sign with his left hand.

The Third Hokage shouted sternly, "Danzo, you've overstepped! I am the Hokage. If you harm a fellow villager, I will definitely punish you!"

Shimura Danzo looked at the compromising Third Hokage and immediately shouted, "Hiruzen, your weakness makes you unfit for the position of Hokage! We should immediately seize this brat and force him to reveal Uchiha Yongcheng's secrets!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated, considering Danzo's words, but then he saw Qingcheng holding the Three-pronged Kunai, looking eager to try it out, and immediately made a decision.

The Third Hokage immediately shouted, "Danzo, you've overstepped! Qingcheng-kun is the Uchiha clan head of Konoha, an Uchiha who possesses the Will of Fire! I will absolutely not allow you to harm a fellow villager again! I am the Third Hokage!"

With that, Hiruzen Sarutobi also began to form hand signs.

Homura Mitokado immediately seized the opportunity to object, saying, "Exactly... exactly. Danzo, you harmed a fellow villager. We, the Konoha Elders, don't need someone like you!"

Utatane Koharu said sternly, "Danzo, are you planning a rebellion? To openly attack in front of Hiruzen?"

A large group of Anbu members surrounded them, all looking serious, staring intently at Shimura Danzo. They all shouted, "In front of Lord Third Hokage, you'd better behave yourself!"

Qingcheng saw this scene and thought to himself, Hiruzen Sarutobi must have been scared by me. He can only compromise with the Uchiha. He's already starting to sell out Danzo.

Shimura Danzo looked at the large group of Anbu ninjas and the preparing-to-act Hiruzen Sarutobi, and said again, "Hiruzen, you will regret this. Your weakness will only lead the village into ruin!"

Qingcheng saw Danzo still struggling and immediately added, sharply saying, "Lord Third Hokage is the most excellent Hokage! This is acknowledged by our Uchiha clan! It's trash like you, who constantly attacks fellow villagers, that will lead Konoha into ruin!"

The Third Hokage heard this and instantly reacted, thinking, Is all this because I indulged Danzo? If I had stopped him from the beginning, would Konoha still have become like this?

Danzo heard Qingcheng's words and immediately shouted angrily, "What do you Uchiha know about the village? Only with the existence of our Konoha's Root can the leaves under the sun be protected!"

Qingcheng laughed loudly and retorted, "Danzo, don't be ridiculous! Your Root ninjas are your personal military force, constantly pointing their blades at villagers! If it weren't for your ambition, all the villagers would have already embraced the sunlight!"

Qingcheng's Shadow Clone then spat at Danzo and directly swore, "Danzo, I'll jump up and smash your whole family!"
