Danzo Bows His Head!

Sasuke slowly opened his eyes after being unconscious for several hours.

Most importantly, he wasn't in his familiar room, but in the Konoha Military Police Force headquarters!

Not only was his father, Fugaku Uchiha, present, but all the key personnel of the Military Police Force were there.

Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Natsume, Uchiha Nagasawa, Uchiha Itachi...

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo had arrived.

Good heavens, what was going on?!

At this moment, Sasuke was completely bewildered.

Could it be that the fact he could grow stronger just by sleeping had been discovered by the higher-ups of Konoha?!

"Sasuke, you're awake?"

"Honestly, why did you have to go so hard on him during training with Shisui?"

"You're the genius of the Uchiha; if your foundation is damaged from this fight, recklessness isn't a good training attitude."

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke first.

He had a kind and approachable demeanor.

It had to be said, his persona was quite well-maintained.

"I asked Brother Shisui to do this myself. I wanted to know how strong I need to become in the future to live a life of comfortable idleness."

"It seems my current strength is still not enough?"

"By the way, Lord Hokage, and the other lords?"

"Are you all here to check on my injuries?"

Sasuke rambled on, as if he had only just realized that the people before him were Konoha's high-ranking officials.

He widened his eyes and asked innocently.

Uh...

Everyone was momentarily speechless.

"Alright, let's discuss any matters outside."

"Let this young one get some proper rest."

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke and then walked out on his own.

The others also found it awkward to stay any longer.

After all, Sasuke's injuries were not faked.

Soon, they arrived at the conference room of the Military Police Force.

"Danzo, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

"Root Organization members attacked by the Uchiha?"

"Do you have any evidence for this?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was grave.

Both sides had their own accounts, but Hiruzen Sarutobi was more inclined to believe the Uchiha at this moment.

After all, Danzo's reasoning was too far-fetched.

He claimed that Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Shisui had joined forces to kill his elite Root Organization members!

Moreover, several of these four elite members were people Hiruzen Sarutobi recognized!

Let alone Uchiha Sasuke...

Even without the burden of Uchiha Sasuke, could Uchiha Shisui have killed all four within the Uchiha Compound without leaving any trace...

Was it possible?!

Even if the four were no match for Uchiha Shisui, wouldn't they try to escape?

Danzo was taken aback by Hiruzen Sarutobi's sudden questioning.

[Big Brother, the plot isn't written like this!]

[Shouldn't you be unconditionally on my side now and help me thoroughly investigate the Uchiha Clan?]

Danzo grumbled inwardly.

But he couldn't say such things aloud.

"Lord Danzo, are you unsure how to answer?"

"Then I'll ask a question."

"Why were four members of the Root Organization present in the core area of my Uchiha Compound?"

"Why, at the time of your Root Organization members' appearance, was a mysterious ninja attacking me?"

"And why did you say they died in front of my second son, Uchiha Sasuke?"

Fugaku Uchiha was no fool.

On the contrary, Fugaku Uchiha was very intelligent.

The reason for his previous unsatisfactory performance was entirely due to the entire Konoha upper echelon uniting to suppress the Uchiha.

No matter how clever he was, it had been to no avail...

Things were different now; the fact that Hiruzen Sarutobi had just questioned Danzo spoke volumes.

The Root Organization was now at odds with Hiruzen Sarutobi...

"Has Minister Fugaku also discovered the enemy who infiltrated our Konoha?"

"It seems this matter was indeed not the work of the Uchiha."

"Those four men were perhaps attacked by the enemy."

"I apologize for my recklessness this time; I will return and thoroughly investigate the issues involved."

After saying this, Danzo turned and left the scene immediately.

Uchiha Natsume raised his hand, wanting to say something more, but Shisui held him back.

To be able to force Danzo to this extent was already quite an achievement.

"Lord Hokage, we Uchiha have no issues whatsoever."

"If Lord Hokage discovers any problems, you can point them out at any time."

Seeing Danzo leave, Fugaku Uchiha turned to look at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Making Danzo admit his mistake was already a significant advantage.

Fugaku Uchiha did not want to demand more; after all, one cannot become a fat man in a single bite.

No matter what grievances he held in his heart, he had to suppress them.

"As the Minister of the Military Police Force, you also have the authority to intervene and investigate certain matters."

"It would be best if you could uncover something."

"Since everyone is fine now, I will head back first."

"If there are any new reports, come find me at any time."

"Let Sasuke have a good rest; both of your sons are geniuses, Fugaku, you must cultivate them well!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Hiruzen Sarutobi took the Anbu and left as well.

As everyone departed, Fugaku Uchiha finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"You all go back to your duties first."

"Shisui, stay behind; I have some things to ask you."

After sitting down, Fugaku Uchiha issued his orders directly.

"Yes."

"Understood, Minister."

"Let's go."

The members of the Military Police Force slowly exited the room.

Shisui looked at Fugaku Uchiha with some confusion.

After all, this matter was considered over.

"Shisui, you just told me that Sasuke killed two Root Organization members by himself!?"

Fugaku Uchiha voiced his doubts.

He had already learned of this just moments ago.

But... such a thing, let alone seen, he had never even heard of it.

A five-year-old child who had only just entered the Ninja Academy a few months ago...

Had killed members of the Root Organization?!

"I don't know the specific details either."

"When I arrived, two of them were already dead."

"Even the remaining two were suppressed by the aura on Sasuke and didn't dare to make a move at all."

"Moreover, they seemed somewhat mentally deranged... so I believe it must have been Sasuke who did it himself."

Shisui explained his analysis of the situation.

Although these words came from Shisui's own mouth, even he himself found it hard to believe.

For such a fantastical event, it was normal for anyone to feel this way.

"I understand."

"You go attend to your own business as well."

Fugaku Uchiha waved his hand, signaling for Shisui to leave.

Sitting alone at his desk, he fell into deep thought...
