Inside the Hokage's office.
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō, and the other two remaining members of the Konoha F4 had gathered together.
"Is this really an heirloom of the Uchiha Clan? It's truly incredible!"
Mitokado Homura said this, astonishment still visible on his face.
After returning, they had heard Hiruzen Sarutobi explain the wonders of this item, so they began fiddling with it.
This item had been obtained from the Uchiha Clan, making Konoha's upper ranks feel as though they had won a great victory.
When they truly witnessed the item's effects, they could not help but be shocked.
"From outside, you can't see any changes at all. Everything feels completely natural."
"This item is truly an exceptionally rare treasure."
Utatane Koharu could not help but sigh as well.
Other than those two expressing their amazement, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō said little, because they had seen something else in this item.
"Hiruzen, it seems the Uchiha Clan had buried away quite a few good things back then."
"Do you think their clan might have some other plot?!"
As he said this, Shimura Danzō did not conceal his thoughts about the Uchiha Clan in the slightest. It was practically as if the words "I am a bad guy" were written across his face.
Shimura Danzō's words did not cause much of an emotional reaction from Hiruzen Sarutobi. Or rather, Hiruzen Sarutobi had long since guessed some of Shimura Danzō's thoughts.
Just as everyone was speaking freely, Hiruzen Sarutobi took out a report.
"This is a letter of condemnation from Kirigakure."
"Danzo, explain yourself."
Upon hearing this, Shimura Danzō nearly jumped up in anger.
Yet on the surface, he still had to pretend that he had only just learned of this, reading its contents alongside his two old friends.
