Konoha Explodes

Inside Konoha Village, all the villagers gathered around the public notice board. As they read the list of Danzo's crimes, they erupted in fury.

Some civilian ninja openly exclaimed, "Danzo actually desecrated the First Hokage's corpse, attacked ninja from his own village, and even gouged out the Uchiha Clan's eyes!"

A few kunoichi cursed, "That Danzo is absolutely despicable! How could someone like that be in the village's high command?"

Other clan ninja angrily shouted, "That bastard Danzo actually led other ninja villages and used our Konoha's money to compensate them!"

A ninja from the Hyuga Clan exclaimed in alarm, "Danzo is truly an animal! He actually gouged out other people's eyeballs. Were our Hyuga Clan's Byakugan taken by him?"

Another group of clan ninja, upon seeing the seventeenth charge, immediately started cursing, "Danzo actually drugged the First Hokage and even tried to assault Uzumaki Mito! He's not even human! How can such a beast be a senior advisor for Konoha?"

Some residents, looking at the nineteenth charge, angrily stated, "This living beast! He actually used the Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails and even caused the Fourth Hokage's death!"

Other civilians, seeing the twenty-first charge, learned that Danzo, in his ambition to become Hokage, directly shattered Buzhou Mountain, causing 50% of the Ninja World to be submerged by the sea, instantly killing tens of millions of civilians.

One villager asked, "What is Buzhou Mountain?"

Several other ninja immediately explained, "Buzhou Mountain was created by the Sage of Six Paths. Well, I don't really understand it fully, but decades ago, there was indeed a great flood that almost submerged the village."

Some villagers started cursing, "Danzo, you son of a bitch! You actually made Root ninja dig up the ancestral graves of Konoha heroes! Your Shimura Clan is truly depraved!"

Other villagers then turned their anger towards the Shimura Clan, shouting, "You forcibly abducted other people's children to become Root ninja and even made these children kill each other! Do you have any humanity at all?"

The training for Root ninja mimicked the Bloody Mist Village of the Hidden Mist Village, making Root ninja kill each other. They were paired up, trained and lived together from a young age, and then forced to fight each other, with only one allowed to survive.

Only the survivor could become a Root ninja.

Ironically, the Bloody Mist Village of the Hidden Mist Village was orchestrated by Obito, who controlled the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura. Its purpose was to make Hidden Mist ninja kill each other and deplete the Hidden Mist Village's strength.

Yet, that idiot Danzo directly copied it, and even surpassed it. He let these children grow up together, form friendships, and then made them directly kill their own comrades.

He even sugarcoated it by saying it helped them sever emotions, claiming Root ninja didn't need feelings.

Even Qingcheng couldn't help but praise, "Danzo, you're a goddamn genius! So many ninja villages have perfect training plans, and yet you chose a puppet controlled by Obito, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura."

Some villagers immediately became alarmed, "Danzo also makes Root ninja capture children in Konoha to use them as training tools for Root ninja!"

When these Konoha villagers finished reading all of Danzo's crimes, they were filled with righteous indignation. "Let's directly attack the Shimura Clan and eliminate that evil clan!"

Some ninja from smaller clans immediately shouted, "Our Hakkaku Clan is willing to attack the Shimura Clan!"

This was a classic case of kicking someone when they're down. Clans that had been closely allied with the Shimura Clan began to betray Danzo.

Especially now, Qingcheng and Mitokado Homura had conspired to fully elaborate on Danzo's crimes, bringing the total to twenty-seven charges.

Some members of the Konoha Police Force, seeing the villagers on the verge of losing control, immediately stepped forward to calm them. "Everyone, please don't rush. Danzo has already been apprehended and taken to Konoha's prison. He will be publicly tried very soon."

All the residents protested in front of the notice board, shouting, "Execute the old thief Danzo! We demand that the old thief Danzo be executed now!"

Meanwhile, Shimura Taiga, the leader of the Shimura Clan, saw Danzo's downfall and immediate arrest, and was so terrified that his soul seemed to leave his body. He said with a look of horror, "Our Shimura Clan is finished!"

Shimura Taiga then turned ashen, collapsing powerlessly to the ground.

Dozens of other Shimura Clan members, seeing their clan become a pariah, began to say, "Let's hurry and escape! If we're too slow, those Konoha ninja will come attacking us immediately!"

Immediately, a large group of Shimura Clan members began packing their belongings, preparing to leave Konoha and find a new place to survive.

The Shimura Clan was now not even considered a third-rate clan. They had no money, and barely any ninjutsu scrolls.

The only Jonin remaining in the household was Shimura Taiga. Danzo had previously chosen him as clan leader, picking the tallest among the short.

Soon, a large group of Anbu ninja arrived at the Shimura Clan's doorstep, looking at the collapsed Shimura Taiga.

The leading Anbu captain was Kakashi. The Anbu members behind him, seeing Kakashi wave his hand, all said, "Understood, Captain Owl."

All the Anbu ninja immediately fanned out, completely surrounding the Shimura Clan. Not even a fly could escape.

Kakashi walked up to Shimura Taiga and said sternly, "Shimura Taiga, your Shimura Clan participated in a rebellion. By order of the Third Hokage, I am here to arrest you. Come with us!"

A large group of Anbu ninja walked directly in front of Shimura Taiga, ready to apprehend him.

Just then, a group of Shimura Clan ninja, seeing the Anbu surrounding their clan, immediately shouted, "What do you Anbu think you're doing? We are Lord Danzo's kin! Do you know the consequences of offending me?"

Kakashi looked at the Shimura Clan, who were preparing to resist, and said coldly, "Your Shimura Clan rebelled and attacked the village's ninja. I now order you to surrender, or you will be killed on the spot."

The Shimura Clan ninja, seeing the formidable Anbu ninja across from them, instantly lost their defiance and shouted, "Don't kill us! We surrender!"

Meanwhile, Qingcheng's Shadow Clone, carrying the First Hokage's Cells and Shisui's Sharingan, returned to the Uchiha Clan.

Qingcheng's Shadow Clone said with a smile, "If my main body finds out about my achievements, will he immediately kneel before me?"

Qingcheng's Shadow Clone then excitedly added, "I wonder what my main body gained. After 'drilling' Tsunade for three days and three nights, did he obtain the Sage Body?"
