Konoha Explodes

Within Konoha, all the villagers gathered around the notice, reading Danzo's listed crimes and erupting in fury.

Some civilian ninja spoke up directly. "Danzo actually desecrated the First Hokage's corpse, attacked ninja from his own village, and even dug out the Uchiha Clan's eyes!"

Some female ninja cursed, "Danzo is utterly despicable. How could the village's higher-ups include someone like him?"

Some clan ninja roared, "That bastard Danzo actually led other ninja villages into our territory and used Konoha's money to compensate them!"

The Hyuga Clan's ninja panicked. "Danzo really is an animal. He actually dug out other people's eyeballs! Did he dig out any of our Hyuga Clan's Byakugan?"

Some clan ninja saw the seventeenth charge and immediately cursed, "Danzo actually drugged the First Hokage and even wanted to violate Lady Uzumaki Mito. He's not even human! How could a beast like that be fit to serve as Konoha's senior advisor?"

Some residents looked at the nineteenth charge and said furiously, "That living beast actually used the Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails and got the Fourth Hokage killed!"

Some civilians looked at the twenty-first charge. To become Hokage, Danzo had smashed apart Buzhou Mountain, causing the sea to flood fifty percent of the Shinobi World and instantly killing tens of millions of civilians.

Some villagers asked, "What is Buzhou Mountain?"

Several other ninja immediately explained, "Buzhou Mountain was established by the Sage of Six Paths. Well, I don't really understand it either, but there really was a massive flood decades ago. It nearly reached the village."

Some villagers cursed at the top of their lungs. "Danzo, damn your ancestors! You actually had Root ninja dig up the ancestral graves of Konoha's heroes! Your Shimura Clan is truly rotten to the core!"

Other villagers cursed at the Shimura Clan as well. "You forcibly seized other people's children to make them Root ninja, then made those children kill each other. Do you have any humanity at all?"

Root ninja training imitated the Hidden Mist Village's Bloody Mist Village, making Root ninja slaughter one another. They were paired off, trained and lived together from childhood, then forced to fight each other. Only one could survive.

Only the one who survived could be called a Root ninja.

The ironic part was that the Hidden Mist Village's Bloody Mist Village had been created when Obito controlled the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura. Its purpose was to make Hidden Mist ninja kill each other and weaken the Hidden Mist Village.

Yet that idiot Danzo had directly copied it, and even surpassed the original. He had the children grow up together and form friendships, only to make them kill their own companions in the end.

He even claimed it was to help them sever their emotions, because Root ninja did not need feelings.

Even Qingcheng could not help but praise him. "Danzo, you're truly a fucking genius. So many ninja villages have perfectly good training programs, yet you chose the puppet, Fourth Mizukage Yagura, who was controlled by Obito."

Some villagers panicked. "Danzo even had Root ninja kidnap children in Konoha and use them as training tools for Root ninja!"

After the people of Konoha finished reading all of Danzo's crimes, they indignantly shouted, "Let's attack the Shimura Clan and wipe out that evil clan!"

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

That was what happened when a wall collapsed and everyone pushed it. Those clans that had once been close to the Shimura Clan began stabbing Danzo in the back.

Especially now that Qingcheng and Mitokado Homura had put their heads together and filled out Danzo's charges, bringing the total to twenty-seven.

Some members of the Konoha Police Force saw the villagers on the verge of losing control and tried to calm them. "Everyone, don't panic. Danzo has already been thrown into Konoha Prison. He will soon be publicly tried."

All the residents protested before the notice, shouting, "Execute that old thief Danzo! We demand that old thief Danzo be executed immediately!"

Meanwhile, Shimura Taiga, the Shimura Clan's patriarch, saw Danzo's downfall and learned that he had been thrown into Konoha Prison. He was so terrified that his soul nearly left his body. "Our Shimura Clan is finished."

Shimura Taiga then went pale as death and collapsed helplessly onto the ground.

Dozens of Shimura Clan members looked at their clan, which had become a target of public scorn, and said, "We should hurry and run. If we're too slow, those Konoha Ninja will be here to attack us soon."

A large group of Shimura Clan members immediately began packing their belongings, preparing to leave Konoha and find somewhere else to survive.

The Shimura Clan could no longer even be considered a third-rate clan. They had no money and barely any Ninjutsu Scrolls.

The only jonin left in the clan was Shimura Taiga. Danzo had previously picked the best of a bad bunch and directly appointed Shimura Taiga as clan head.

Before long, a large group of ANBU ninja arrived at the entrance of the Shimura Clan compound and saw Shimura Taiga collapsed on the ground.

The ANBU captain leading them was Kakashi. When Kakashi waved his hand, the ANBU members behind him responded, "Understood, Captain Owl."

All the ANBU ninja spread out and surrounded the Shimura Clan so tightly that not even a fly could escape.

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

A large group of ANBU ninja stepped toward Shimura Taiga, preparing to arrest him.

At that moment, a group of Shimura Clan ninja saw the ANBU surrounding their clan and shouted, "What do you ANBU think you're doing? We're Lord Danzo's clansmen! Do you know the consequences of offending us?"

Kakashi looked coldly at the Shimura Clan members who were preparing to resist. "Your Shimura Clan committed treason and attacked the village's ninja. I order you to surrender now. Otherwise, you will be executed on the spot."

Seeing the overwhelming force of ANBU ninja before them, the Shimura Clan's ninja immediately lost their nerve and shouted, "Don't kill us! We surrender!"

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

Qingcheng's Shadow Clone smiled. "If the original finds out about my achievements, will he drop to his knees before me?"

Qingcheng's Shadow Clone then said excitedly, "I wonder what the original gained. After violating Tsunade for three days and three nights, did he obtain the Sage Body?"
