Zabuza

Fortunately, he was quite lucky, as he was also quite good at training in Chuck.

At the same time.

Inside the Third Naruto's office, three people stood before him, seemingly threatening to force his hand.

The leader was a man with brown hair, neat sideburns, and a narrow, cunning, and deep-set eye. His head and right eye were wrapped in bandages.

There is a fork-shaped scar on my chin.

His face was slightly gloomy, with deep wrinkles, giving him an impression of being sinister and cunning.

Although he was thin, he was muscular and wore a black and gray kimono. His arms and right eye were wrapped in bandages.

That's right, this guy is Shimura Danzo.

The other two are Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane.

Don't underestimate these two; they are now among the high-ranking advisors of Konoha in the Land of Fire.

In his youth, he served as a member of the Second Naruto's elite guard, and was teammates with Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzo, Torifu Akimichi, and Kagami Uchiha.

Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane possessed strength and wisdom comparable to the Third Naruto, and their status was similar to that of the Naruto. They participated in many important matters, including the proposal to decide on the Naruto candidate, and played a pivotal role in Konoha's plan to exterminate the Uchiha Clan.

In terms of power and status, he was in no way inferior to Shimura Danzo, who controlled a portion of the ANBU.

Although these two guys sometimes side with Shimura Danzo, they are fundamentally different from Shimura Danzo.

First, they did not have the same ambition as Shimura Danzo.

Secondly, he was not as ruthless as Shimura Danzo.

Shimura Danzo, on the other hand, was extremely suspicious, cautious, insidious, and ruthless. He distrusted others, could not tolerate even the slightest possible oversight, and would only feel at ease if things went according to his own ideas.

He often said that "ninjas must sacrifice themselves," but when it came to it, he couldn't do it himself.

During the Five Kage Summit to elect the leader of the Allied Shinobi Forces, even though Mifune had intended to recommend him, he still used Kotoamatsukami to control Mifune and dictate his actions. To prevent leaks, he placed Cursed Seal Technique on all his subordinates.

Moreover, they have no bottom line; they do this all to enhance their own strength.

Transplanting cells from the First Naruto Hashirama.

They acquired eleven more "Sharingan...

If Orochimaru is a mad scientist, then this guy is simply evil.

At this point, he had already set his sights on Moke.

Because he absolutely would not allow anyone in Konoha, except for Sarutobi, the Naruto, to surpass him in strength. That would be an obstacle to his becoming Naruto.

Whether it's the Three Legendary Sannin or the Eight Colors of Konoha.

Anyone who stands in his way will be eliminated by any means necessary.

The Tsunade Three Legendary Sannin: Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Legendary Sannin.

Eight Colors: Yellow Flash, White Fang, Night Dancer, Orange Water, Green Sprout, Blue Beast, Shishui, and Red Sunset.

The Yellow Flash: Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage Naruto, was known for his extreme speed and was called the "Yellow Flash".

White Fang: Kakashi's father, a powerful man, but due to a mistake during a mission that led to the leak of classified documents, he ultimately committed suicide under pressure.

Night Dancer: Hayate Gekko's father, an outstanding swordsman, skilled in nighttime combat.

Orange Water: Grandson of Tobirama Senju Clan, skilled in Water Release, possessing immense power.

Green Sprout: Konohamaru Sarutobi's father, skilled in Earth Release and Fire Release.

Blue Beast: Kai's father, the creator of the Eight Gates.

Shishui: Anko Mitarashi's uncle, leader of the ANBU, possesses ninjutsu of three elemental attributes.

Red Sunset: Kurenai Yuhi's father, possesses powerful illusion magic.

Therefore, he absolutely cannot allow an outcast like Moke to exist in Konoha.

Absolutely not allowed.

Shimura Danzo intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi: "What exactly do you plan to do with that Moke? You must give us an explanation today. Konoha absolutely cannot allow such an unstable element to exist."

As she spoke, she glanced at Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, then added, "Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane share the same opinion as me."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly. "You should all know what this Moke is doing! He's the one who taught us Konoha S-rank taijutsu."

At this point, he also looked at Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane: "If he truly harbored ill intentions towards Konoha, would he have done this?"

Upon hearing this, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane's eyes flickered.

In fact, they had the same thought in their hearts. However, just as Shimura Danzo said, a person who appeared out of nowhere and whose origins could not be found no matter how they investigated was indeed an unstable factor.

Having worked with these two for decades, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately saw through their true intentions.

A slight smile played on his lips as he added, "Even if we were to deal with him, we should wait until he passes on his taijutsu to the young people of Konoha! That's S-rank taijutsu..."

Upon hearing this, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, who Shimura Danzo, nodded in agreement.

This is the way to maximize profits.

Homura Mitokado turned to Shimura Danzo: "I think we should postpone this for now. It would be a real shame to miss out on such a taijutsu technique."

Koharu Utatane chimed in, "Besides, now really isn't the time. After all, the Chunin Exams. There are also many ninjas from other villages in our village... If we were to make a move now, it would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble."

Hearing what Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane said, Shimura Danzo was speechless.

What happened to the promise to take care of Hiruzen Sarutobi and deal with that Moke as soon as possible?

That's spinning way too fast.

"Knock knock..."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzo, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane all turned to look. There stood Moke, looking completely innocent...

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "..."

Shimura Danzo: "..."

Homura Mitokado: "..."

Koharu Utatane: "..."

The four exchanged glances, thinking to themselves, "This person didn't hear what they were saying, did they?"

Moke shrugged. "I've been in Konoha for a few days now, and I was thinking... I should at least pay a visit to the Naruto, but it seems... I've come at a rather inopportune time!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzo, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane exchanged glances.

This is troublesome.

They were secretly plotting to harm someone, and someone overheard them.

However, all four of them were experienced in all kinds of situations, and they quickly regained their composure. The embarrassment on their faces disappeared, especially the murderous intent in Shimura Danzo's eyes, which he made no attempt to hide.

Moke wouldn't tolerate him.

He glanced over at it, and at the same time, his Conqueror's Haki burst forth as a line.

This attack was Inazuma fast. Before anyone present could react, Shimura Danzo had already been hit.

His face turned pale, and he swayed.

They even took a few steps back.

He then stared at Moke in shock... because he had just been attacked by a terrifying mental force.

"Hiss..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane all gasped in shock.

They had Shimura Danzo for decades.

They started as teammates and are now both high-ranking members of Konoha. Therefore, they are very familiar with each other's strength.

Of course, those that are deliberately hidden are another matter.

For example, Shimura Danzo's Sharingan and Wood Release.

Even so, they were still greatly shocked. Shimura Danzo's strength, while not as strong as the previous Naruto, was even inferior to the Legendary Sannin and the Eight Colors.

However, it has definitely reached the Kage-level.

With just a glance, Shimura Danzo, who possessed Kage-level strength, suffered a significant loss.

That level of strength is truly terrifying!

However, the one who was truly shocked was Shimura Danzo. Others might not know, but he did: after transplanting so many Sharingan, his mental strength had increased exponentially.

In terms of sheer mental strength, he far surpasses Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane.

Even so, he still couldn't block that glance.

Those eyes gave him the feeling that they belonged to a unique emperor in the world.

It inspires a sense of submission!

His mental energy was also hit hard, making him momentarily dazed and causing his mental energy to weaken.

What exactly is this power?

It has such power.

"How dare you... This is Konoha!" Shimura Danzo in fury.

If it weren't for the fact that they were wary of Moke's strength, they probably would have already made their move.

"Cut..."

Moke scoffed, "I know this is Konoha. Otherwise, if I knew someone wanted to kill me, I would have torn them to pieces by now. Why would I let you live?"

"You really think you're so powerful just because you transplanted more than ten Sharingan and the cells of the First Naruto?"

"What?"

Moke's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, creating huge ripples.

Shimura Danzo suddenly contracted.

His heart tightened immediately, and he subconsciously looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane, noticing their expressions.

His heart sank. "You guys didn't believe this guy, did you?"

At this point, he really panicked and immediately added, "He's just talking nonsense. Don't you all know who I am? Although I can be ruthless at times, I still have my bottom line..."

Before he could finish speaking, Moke immediately sneered, "No explanation is as good as the facts. Just take off your bandages and let everyone see, won't that solve the problem?"

"If it's fake, it won't harm you. After all, it's just unwrapping the bandages... However, at that time, I think the Naruto and the two advisors will definitely stand firmly on your side."

Wouldn't that be more advantageous for achieving your goal of annihilating me in Konoha?

"You..."

Shimura Danzo was almost furious.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane, who had initially been somewhat moved by Shimura Danzo's emotional appeal, changed their expressions again.

Because Moke was absolutely right.

It was just a matter of unwrapping the bandages.

Given their relationship, what difference does it make if Shimura Danzo exposes his wounds?

Could they be used against him?

Most importantly, what is there between them that they can't see?

"Wind Release: Shuriken!"

Shimura Danzo channeled his Wind Release chakra into his shuriken and flung it at Moke. The shuriken spun rapidly, easily cutting through any rocks it encountered.

During the battle, Danzō's right arm was severed once by this technique.

This shows just how powerful this move is.

This is a B-rank Wind Release ninjutsu, extremely powerful. If it hits, even the strongest body will be cut apart.

"Stop!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane immediately tried to stop him, but it was too late. They hadn't expected Shimura Danzo to act so decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

"Clang!"

But what happened next shocked everyone present. Moke stood there motionless, as if he hadn't seen the attack from Shimura Danzo at all.

Therefore, Shimura Danzo's attack landed squarely on Moke.

But...

Apart from a few cuts in his clothes, Moke's skin wasn't even broken.

Moke's lips curled slightly as he straightened his clothes. "Shimura Danzo, do you know why, even after you used various methods to force away the Legendary Sannin and plotted to kill the Eight Colors of Konoha, you still can't get Naruto Hokage position you've always wanted?"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane's expressions changed once again.

They knew that some things Shimura Danzo. They even knew, or tacitly accepted, some of these things.

But there are some things they don't know.

For example, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the green flame among the Eight Colors of Konoha, possesses powerful Fire Release abilities, even surpassing the Fire Release techniques of the Uchiha Clan. This demonstrates his strength and talent.

Most importantly, this person is the son of three generations.

He is also the most outstanding descendant of the Sarutobi Clan.

Shimura Danzo was truly alarmed. He turned to Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane: "Don't listen to his nonsense. How could I possibly lay a hand on Shinnosuke?"

"Tsk tsk..."

Moke suddenly let out a strange laugh, "Why did you only mention Sarutobi Shinnosuke from the Eight Colors of Konoha?"

Shimura Danzo aback.

Because this instinctive reaction best reflects the truest side of his heart. In his view, among the Eight Colors of Konoha, and even the Three Legendary Sannin, what Hiruzen Sarutobi most unacceptable was the death of Shinnosuke.

He knew that Orochimaru had used underhanded tactics to force Hiruzen Sarutobi.

She also murdered Tsunade's brother and lover, causing her to develop hemophobia.

Jiraiya left because of this... but he would endure it.

Because it's already a fait accompli.

However, Sarutobi Shinnosuke is different. Although he is not Hiruzen Sarutobi's only son, he is the most outstanding member of the Sarutobi Clan. In fact, one could say that he is the future of the Sarutobi Clan.

I absolutely cannot accept the fact that Sarutobi Shinnosuke was killed by him.

If the three Legendary Sannin and the other seven Shiki only made Hiruzen Sarutobi extremely unhappy with him, they would at most begin to restrict his power. However, the matter of Sarutobi Shinnosuke has been confirmed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi will definitely take his life.

Therefore, he immediately refuted Sarutobi Shinnosuke's statement. As for the other people's affairs, he didn't care at all, because they were no longer the focus.

"Brush..."

Just then, several people appeared outside the door.

Kakashi, Might Guy, Asuma Sarutobi Kurenai Yuhi, Hayate Gekko, and Shisui Mitarashi.

These five people are true descendants of the Eight Colors family, and they are either sons or daughters.

Most importantly, these five people are not ordinary people.

Kakashi is an elite Jonin, capable of going toe-to-toe with anyone. Crucially, the Hatake Clan, though weakened by Sakumo Hatake's death, still possesses considerable strength in Konoha thanks to Kakashi's support.

Matt Kay has no family.

But he's also an elite Jonin, and when this guy fights with his life on the line, he's definitely Kage-level...

Kurenai Yuhi is also a Jonin.

While Asuma Sarutobi may not be Sarutobi Shinnosuke, he is, after all, the son of the Third Hokage, and his talent is naturally considerable. Coupled with the Third Hokage's full-fledged training, how long can his strength remain untapped?

Therefore, this guy is also an elite Jonin.

Hayate Gekko and Mitarai were slightly less skilled, but they were still Special Jonin, and besides, they both had powerful clans behind them.

The combined strength of these five individuals, along with the powerful forces behind them, makes them a force that even the entire Konoha dares not underestimate.

This is troublesome!

Whether it was Shimura Danzo, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, or Koharu Utatane, their brows furrowed in unison.

Especially Hiruzen Sarutobi.

As the Naruto, Konoha is the most important thing to him. If Shinnosuke really died because of Shimura Danzo's conspiracy, he could have dealt with Shimura Danzo secretly. But it can't be like this now.

Because if this happens, Konoha will be thrown into chaos.

Explain?

How do you explain this?

Shimura Danzo's words just now have explained everything. Otherwise, he wouldn't have only responded to Shimura Danzo.

It applies to everyone.

He would say that he would absolutely not make a move against Konoha.

Or rather, he would never have schemed against the Legendary Sannin and the Eight Colors, rather than targeting only Sarutobi Shinnosuke. We're all intelligent people, although such statements cannot be taken as evidence.

However, this is not a judgment.

Evidence isn't absolutely necessary; just having a general idea is enough.

Kakashi, Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi, Hayate Gekko, Shisui Mitarashi were all staring intently at Shimura Danzo.

Hikaru gleamed in his eyes.

If this weren't the Naruto's office, and if it weren't for the fact that the Chunin Exams and there were many other ninjas from other villages in Konoha, this wouldn't be possible.

They will definitely act without hesitation.

Shimura Danzo looked at Kakashi, Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi, Hayate Gekko, and Shisui Mitarashi in silence. He knew that any explanation would be futile at this point.

Nobody's a fool.

"Call..."

Shimura Danzo a deep breath and finally looked at Moke. The killing intent emanating from Mok was almost tangible. If this were a genin or chunin, they would probably be too terrified to move!

Unfortunately, it was Moke standing in front of him now.

That little bit of murderous intent is nothing!

Compared to the Whitebeard, Red-Hair, and Big Mom characters, it's just like children playing house.

Shimura Danzo his teeth and said, "I've dominated the Shinobi World for decades, and I never imagined I'd be outmaneuvered by a brat like you. What a stroke of bad luck..."

At this point, he turned to Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane, saying, "Now, do you still think this guy can be kept alive? He's just trying to provoke a civil war in Konoha."

"Tsk tsk..."

Moke chuckled and then said, "Right, right, right... You can only take down the Three Legendary Sannin, then kill the Eight Colors of Konoha. Finally, to increase your own strength, you can wipe out the Uchiha Clan so you can gouge out their eyes. In the end, you can even dig up the First Hokage's grave and take his Wood Release cells."

And me!

You can only passively let them scheme against you; you deserve to die.

We cannot retaliate.

Otherwise, it would be malicious.

Hehe...

But who exactly has ill intentions?

As long as the Legendary Sannin remain, and the Eight Colors endure, will there still be war in this world?

Won't.

As long as they are still alive, Konoha will have at least fifteen Kage-level ninja. Even if the other ninja villages join forces, they will only be able to take a beating. The Second Shinobi World War proved this. But under your scheme...

Konoha is currently only being held up by the Third Hokage.

The younger generation of the Eight Colors has not yet fully risen to prominence. Among the common people, no outstanding ninjas have emerged. Only the Hyuga Clan remains strong, so the entire Hidden Konoha, at most, only has three or four Kage-level.

This is even including trash like you who barely made it to the Kage-level through special methods.

So, isn't you Shimura Danzo, the greatest scourge of Konoha?

As he spoke, he turned to look at Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane, as if to say, "See, wasn't I right?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane all looked extremely grim.

That's right, Konoha was at its strongest since the death of the First Hokage. However, there were some things they tacitly approved of.

It's acceptable to tacitly agree.

Who dares to admit it openly?

If they dare say they tacitly approved it, believe me, these five little brats in front of us will take care of them all too.

Especially Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the strongest among them, could only be killed if Asuma Sarutobi intervened. Conversely, with Asuma Sarutobi present, and given Hiruzen Sarutobi was still the Naruto, they wouldn't be able to kill him.

But they are different.

Furthermore, it consists of two teams: Kakashi, Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi, Hayate Gekko, and Shisui Mitarashi.

Let's just wash up and go to bed!

However, they showed no remorse towards Shimura Danzo. Like Hiruzen Sarutobi, they could tolerate the others, but this guy actually killed Hiruzen Sarutobi's son... that completely crossed the line.

After all, they've been friends and teammates for decades.

They may have different political views, have their own style, and even engage in some underhanded tactics. But... killing their teammate's son, especially the most outstanding one in the entire family.

That's it.

However, Shimura Danzo's words did have an effect.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane all looked at Moke differently now. Just as Shimura Danzo had said, Moke's actions were tantamount to instigating a civil war within Konoha!

Right now... there's nothing we can do about Moke in this situation.

But we really need to deal with this as soon as possible, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble it might cause in Konoha in the future!

Moke observed the expressions on Hiruzen Sarutobi's, Homura Mitokado's, and Koharu Utatane's faces.

Moke chuckled inwardly, "Orochimaru is going to make a big scene today; the Third Hokage is probably going to be killed. Once the Third Hokage is gone, Shimura Danzo will be a Rat. What are Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane compared to that?"

It's not that the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzo.

These two guys lost their power and status in Konoha.

Rather, it's that these two people are gone.

Their little group disbanded, and their words no longer carried the same weight. The next Tsunade wasn't the third generation; he wouldn't tolerate them anymore.

In addition, he established a relationship with Hyūga.

He also made Kakashi, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi, Hayate Gekko, and Shisui Mitarashi owe him a huge favor.

Even if his strength isn't that great.

They can now rest easy in Konoha.

Besides, with Shimura Danzo dead, his ANBU could naturally return to their own clans and no longer be under his control. Wouldn't those clans then owe him a favor?

His strength speaks for itself.

With so much support... Naruto is unlikely. However, becoming a Jonin, or even a Special Jonin, is definitely not a problem.
