Danzo Controlled by the Mangekyō Sharingan

Finally managing to utter these high-sounding words, and even using the plausible reason of confiscation, Danzo could no longer contain himself. He lunged at Yun Yan with almost the fastest speed he had ever seen!

As Danzo lunged at Yun Yan, he immediately reached out his hand without hesitation, and his hand went straight for Yun Yan's eyes.

Seeing this, the delegation from the Kumogakure watched this rare spectacle with bated breath.

Upon Hiruzen Sarutobi Danzo his composure and reached out to stop Danzo, but it was too late!

Only Yun Yan stood still, watching Danzo on him and reach out to gouge out his eyes, his face full of contempt.

Is this old man out of his mind or what? Is he really so captivated by the powerful Mangekyō Sharingan that he's desperate to steal it?

Don't you even realize what you can do with your meager strength? Trying to steal my Mangekyō Sharingan is nothing but a pipe dream!

Yun Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the triangular pattern in his eyes spun faster and faster. His terrifying pupil power catalyzed a powerful Genjutsu, and the unparalleled Genjutsu directly affected Danzo was rushing towards him!

Yun Yan's mastery of Genjutsu beyond ordinary; it's estimated that his Genjutsu are now among the best in the entire Shinobi World. Dealing with Danzo would be a Danzo for him.

Sure enough, with just one glare, Genjutsu, who was just moments before hot-blooded and self-important, was immediately controlled by Danzo's Mangekyō Sharingan Danzo.

The others present saw Danzo suddenly stop abruptly, standing there blankly, with the same Mangekyō Sharingan pattern appearing in his eyes as Yun Yan.

This... this is clearly being controlled by the Mangekyō Sharingan! Has Yun Yan already reached this level?

Seeing this and realizing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi secretly alarmed and began to think about how he would deal with such Genjutsu and such Mangekyō Sharingan if it were him.

Not only did Hiruzen Sarutobi start thinking this way, but Dodai also began to think this way. He had to treat such a strong person as a hypothetical enemy and figure out how to deal with such mastery of Genjutsu techniques.

After thinking for a long time, Dodai still couldn't come up with a good solution, and his face began to look grim.

On the other side, Hiruzen Sarutobi, seeing how pathetic Danzo— he had been so aggressive just moments before, but now he was completely subdued with a single glance—couldn't bear to look at him and felt ashamed for Danzo.

But regardless, Danzo was his best scapegoat and black glove, and nothing could happen to him. Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to plead with Yun Yan:

"Yun Yan, isn't that enough? Elder Danzo was just acting on impulse..."

Unexpectedly, Yun Yan interrupted Hiruzen Sarutobi with a cold laugh:

"A moment of impulse? Does a moment of impulse justify repeatedly committing reckless and evil deeds? Does a moment of impulse justify repeatedly plotting against one's own people in Konoha? Does a moment of impulse justify continuously bringing disaster to Konoha?"

Upon hearing Yun Yan's question, Hiruzen Sarutobi a beat, a sense of foreboding washing over him. He still wanted to maintain the facade.

"Yun Yan, what are you saying? How could Danzo, as an elder of Konoha, possibly harm his own people or bring disaster to Konoha? You must not listen to these strange rumors..."

Too lazy to continue arguing with Hiruzen Sarutobi, Yun Yan, just like last time, directly interrupted him, turning his head and looking at Danzo with a cold smile:

"Danzo, the Lord Hokage is still defending you as always. Aren't you touched that he's protecting you like this?"

To everyone's surprise, Danzo, who was being controlled at this moment, was completely stunned, his consciousness in a blurry yet direct state. He subconsciously uttered his truest thoughts:

"Hokage... Hokage... The Hokage Position is mine! I will become Hokage no matter what! No matter what!"

The people from the Kumogakure delegation almost burst out laughing, Dodai also looked like he was trying to suppress a laugh, while Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turned dark, feeling like he had embarrassed himself.

What was that old man Danzo thinking? Didn't Hiruzen Sarutobi know Danzo well?

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi was absolutely confident that as long as he was alive, he could suppress Danzo so completely that Danzo could not raise his head. Therefore, he did not care at all even if Danzo coveted the position of Hokage.

But even if I have these thoughts, I can't say them out loud, especially not in front of outsiders. Otherwise, it would make me look like a failure as Hokage, lacking any authority.

Heh, no need to show it.

Even without this incident, you, as Hokage, have already lacked any real authority and have failed miserably.

Filled with embarrassment and anger, Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his fist on the table and berated Yun Yan:

"Yun Yan, that's enough. Stop causing trouble and quickly dispel Danzo's Genjutsu control."

At this moment, Yun Yan shook his head with feigned interest, his expression one of utter amusement, and this amusement was tinged with a wicked sense of humor:

"Lord Hokage, how can this be? Everyone else speaks the truth when they're drunk, we need to get Elder Danzo to speak the truth after his Genjutsu Danzo, otherwise how will we know what this rat in the dark, stinking ditch is thinking?"

And there are some things I really need to confirm."

At this point, Yun Yan gave Hiruzen Sarutobi no chance to react, turning directly to Danzo and questioning him, hitting the nail on the head:

"Danzo, how did you find out that the people from the Kumogakure delegation were killed by Hyuga Hiashi?"

At this Danzo, Danzo seemed to have Alzheimer's and Parkinson's combined. Under the torment of this terrifying Genjutsu, he stood there dumbfounded, his mouth agape, and even drool dripped from the corner of his mouth.

After babbling on and on for a while, Danzo finally revealed the truth:

"It was... it was someone I planted within Hiruzen Sarutobi's Anbu... someone hidden deep within the Anbu's Root... who told me."

The delegation from Kumogakure couldn't help but burst out laughing again, and just like before, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face darkened once more.

However, he could accept this situation, because Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo had already tacitly agreed on it. They simply didn't trust each other and were planting spies in each other's Root and Anbu.

The difference is that Hiruzen Sarutobi is more skilled; his Anbu within Root are very well hidden, and his communication is also very detailed and efficient.

In comparison, Danzo was far inferior. It was extremely difficult for him to infiltrate the Root into the Anbu, and even the transmission of information and messages was vague and unclear.

Hearing this, Yun Yan smiled mockingly and with amusement, and continued to ask this crucial question:

"So, after learning that the ninja from the Kumogakure delegation had been killed by Hyuga Hiashi, what did you do?"

Danzo continued to reveal the truth through Aba Aba's confession:

"I... I asked Root to find a way... to leak this matter... to the Kumogakure delegation."

These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue; everyone who heard Danzo's words was Danzo into disarray!

The Kumogakure delegation could no longer stand by and watch the spectacle, as this matter also involved them.

Dodai was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected things to develop this way. He did have some predictions and guesses, knowing that the person who revealed this to him was most likely someone from inside Konoha.

But he never expected that this traitor, who benefited him as an outsider and was hostile to Konoha's internal affairs, would hold such a high position and wield so much power! He was actually Danzo, the elder of Konoha and the Danzo of Root!

Good heavens, it was him! I never expected this!

If Danzo had more people like Konoha, wouldn't that be wonderful? Or if Danzo hadn't been exposed today, wouldn't that be wonderful? These were Dodai's current thoughts.

Compared to Dodai's complicated feelings, Hiruzen Sarutobi's emotions were practically exploding.

What?! The person who leaked this information to the Kumogakure delegation was Danzo!

He knew that Danzo had always had his own agenda and had been doing things that he couldn't accept or forgive, but since he didn't know about those things, he was willing to turn a blind eye.

But now that he knows, Hiruzen Sarutobi can't accept it anymore; he's practically the perfect example of someone who wants to have it both ways.

Unexpectedly, Danzo committed such a treacherous act. Hiruzen Sarutobi, momentarily forgetting everything else, was enraged and directly rebuked and questioned him:

"Danzo! As an elder of Konoha and the leader of Root, why would you do such a thing?"

However, Danzo's next answer caused Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi to lose face completely.

Danzo, under the powerful control of Yun Yan's Mangekyō Sharingan, once again subconsciously revealed his true thoughts and the truth:

"Because I want to weaken the Hyūga Clan."

What is it?

At this moment, even Hiruzen Sarutobi doubted his ears. He wondered if he had really misheard, or if the Danzo in front of him had mistaken him for someone else, and that this Danzo was not the Danzo he knew.

Wasn't Danzo always targeting the Uchiha Clan? When did he start targeting the Hyūga Clan? The Hyūga Clan has always been well-behaved and hasn't done anything to us.
