The Aftermath

Konoha

Hokage Building

"Lord Hokage! These are the pieces of evidence found at Danzo. Please take a look!"

The Anbu captain, Tekka, carrying a tray piled high with small scrolls arranged in a pyramid shape, handed it to Naraku's desk.

This is Tetsu's second submission. After reviewing the first submission, Naraku instructed Tekka to revise some of the information. After Tekka's team completed the revisions, they submitted it again immediately.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, you can go now."

Naraku responded softly, opening the scroll and turning the pages.

"Hi!"

Tekka turned and left.

Three days have passed since Danzo was wiped out, and two squads of Anbu Ninja have obtained a wealth of information and data from Danzo's stronghold.

Wood Release experiments, forbidden technique experiments, Kekkei Genkai experiments, as well as Root's research and defense against various Konoha ninja clans, numerous assassination mission files, and cooperation and interactions with Orochimaru missing-nin.

It took three days to organize and compile this data, summarizing the research and records related to the Uchiha, most of which were deliberately removed by Naraku.

Danzo's Root targeted many of Konoha's ninja clans, Hyuga Clan Sarutobi Clan, and Uzumaki Clans, and had contingency plans in place.

The Uchiha Clan occupies a significant portion of the narrative, approximately one-third. The other dozens of Konoha ninja clans combined make up the remaining two-thirds.

After reviewing the revised scrolls, Naraku nodded slightly, satisfied with Tekka's efficiency, and softly called out:

"Iron"

Uchiha Tekka pushed open the door and entered. Tekka was one of the six captains of the Anbu. In reality, he didn't need to care about the gatekeeper's work. However, after completing any mission, Tekka would be at the Hokage Building supervising the gatekeepers' duties.

Tekka was proud to serve as the Hokage's gatekeeper. Coupled with his considerable strength, he was highly regarded by Naraku.

"Tetsu, go and summon your assistants Kurama Ryota and Nara Shikaku."

"Hi!"

Upon receiving the order, Tekka turned and left.

After Naraku rested his chin on his hand, pondering the next steps for Danzo.

There's a lot of dirt on Danzo, Naraku removed the information about him stealing the Uchiha Sharingan. Information about the research and use of the Uchiha Sharingan cannot be published to avoid inspiring others and encouraging ambitious individuals to imitate him.

According to numerous reports from Konoha guided by Naraku, Hatake Kakashi's Sharingan was portrayed as Kakashi lacking Uchiha bloodline and unable to Sharingan, so he chose to return it immediately after his close friend's return.

The key point is that without Uchiha blood, one cannot withstand the Sharingan. This was Naraku's deliberate guidance, intended to discourage people from coveting the Uchiha Sharingan.

No matter how powerful the Uchiha Clan was, they couldn't withstand the machinations and schemes of those with ulterior motives. You can't be a thief for a thousand days and still guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Bang! Bang!

"Please come in!"

Kurama Ryota and Nara Shikaku arrived together and pushed open the door.

"Fourth Generation." x2

"Ryota, Shikaku, take a look at these documents."

Naraku beckoned the two to come to his desk and pointed to a mountain of scrolls on it.

The two men stepped forward, each picking up a scroll and examining it closely.

A few minutes later, the two men's expressions turned serious, and their astonishment grew as they looked at the scrolls. They quickly exchanged scrolls and then picked up the scrolls on the table to examine them one by one.

"Danzo, unbelievable..."

"Unbelievable..."

The two were so astonished by the information in the scroll that they murmured to themselves.

Seeing that the two had finished examining the items, Naraku said softly:

"Gentlemen, please post this information on the bulletin board. It's about a major case we solved a few days ago. Let the villagers know that if they encounter similar situations in the future, they should promptly seek help from the Security Department or come to the Hokage Building to verify."

Naraku summoned the two not to discuss matters, but to inform them and then make these things public.

The data related to the Uchiha makes up only a small portion. Most of it concerns Danzo's secret collusion with missing-nin, his Wood Release human experiments, and his use of the Anbu to lure and capture Konoha Ninja. These acts alone are enough to ruin his reputation.

Danzo's Root was originally Anbu, but after Naraku power, Danzo was dismissed from his post, and Root became an illegal organization.

Furthermore, if Root's target is Konoha Ninja, Root's specialty is often disguising themselves as Anbu, inviting the target to their base for a chat, and once they arrive, they basically vanish without a trace.

There are hundreds of such records, as well as records of Danzo's numerous assassination missions.

Danzo played a crucial role in the Danzo of the Senju Clan Sarutobi Hiruzen may have been indulging them, it was Danzo who carried out the actual Danzo.

Naraku's purpose in issuing these kinds of announcements is to prevent Konoha Ninja from seeking help from the Security Department or verifying information at the Hokage Building if they encounter similar situations in the future.

Kurama Ryota and Nara Shikaku were stunned for a long time before they recovered. Upon hearing Naraku's words, they respectfully replied:

"Yes, sir!" x2

"Okay, go ahead!"

Naraku his hand, signaling the two to leave to attend to their business.

The two bowed slightly to acknowledge the order and turned to leave.

"Iron! Send someone to summon Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura to the office!"

After watching his two assistants leave, Naraku loudly issued orders towards the door.

"Hi!"

Uchiha Tekka, who was outside the door, accepted the order and left.

This time, Naraku did not consult with the others before deciding whether to Danzo Danzo's secrets; instead, he unilaterally decided to disclose them directly.

After a moment of contemplation, Naraku got up from the stool and walked towards the top floor of the Hokage Building.

On the top floor of the Hokage Building, Naraku stood in front of the railing, his hands behind his back, looking down at Konoha.

After a long while, the three elderly men arrived together and slowly walked towards the railing.

"Fourth Generation" X3

The three felt some pressure regarding the Fourth Hokage's summons. More than half a year had passed since the Shisui incident, and Danzo's whereabouts remained unknown. They felt uneasy that the Hokage had summoned all three of them, excluding Namikaze Minato.

"My lords, come to me and take a look at Konoha below."

Naraku spoke softly, gesturing for the three to come to his side, and then continued with a sigh:

"Konoha is truly prosperous these days."

The three frowned slightly; they were usually too busy with other matters to think about such things. Unaware of Naraku's intentions, they exchanged glances, approached the railing, and stood beside Naraku, gazing towards Konoha.

"This is all thanks to you, fourth generation."

Sarutobi Hiruzen offered a compliment, noting that Konoha had indeed become increasingly prosperous under Naraku's rule.

"Yes, but the Anbu cracked a major case a few days ago, concerning Danzo, Hiruzen."

Naraku his head to the side, giving Sarutobi Hiruzen a rather serious look.

The three advisors grew increasingly uneasy upon hearing the Fourth Hokage, Naraku, mention Danzo's name.

"Fourth generation, I am ashamed. I promised to capture Danzo within a year, but seven months have passed and there is still no lead. However, I will not forget this mission; it is my duty."

Sarutobi Hiruzen realized something, his expression turning serious, and he vowed not to let Danzo off the Danzo.

Upon hearing this, Naraku said expressionlessly:

"Hiruzen, your mission to capture Danzo ends here. Danzo is dead."
