"For Lord Danzo!"
"Long live Lord Danzo!"
"Glory belongs to Lord Danzo!"
All kinds of fanatical slogans rang out across Konoha. In their wake, ninjas with eerie purple glimmers in their eyes began attacking the other, normal ninjas in groups.

He looked toward the two people beside him. One had already been killed, his eyes still wide open in death. The two-tomoe Sharingan in those eyes and the fan crest on the back
