Shikaku Nara looked at Danzo with extremely cautious eyes.
Inoichi Yamanaka frowned.
Choza Akimichi's face was already filled with anger.
Hyuga Hiashi stared at Danzo coldly. Thinking of the past when Hinata was almost kidnapped, the fire in his chest couldn't be suppressed.
Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly spoke, "Ren!"
"This kind of thing cannot be convicted based on guesswork."
Ren didn't even look at him, only stared at Danzo.
"I didn't talk to you."
This sentence made Hiruzen Sarutobi's face even more ugly.
Danzo finally stood up, and the crutches fell heavily to the ground.
"That's enough."
His voice was hoarse, but it carried the oppression of having held a high position for many years.
"I admit that Root acts under the radar."
"I also admit that for Konoha, there are some tasks that cannot be left to ANBU and can only be shouldered by Gen."
"But the root is the root of Konoha."
"The roots are buried underground to support the big tree, not to backfire on the village."
Danzo stared at Ren with one eye, and his tone became harsher.
"Although I am ruthless in my actions, I have never exceeded the bottom line."
"Assisted Orochimaru to mutilate Konoha children? Helped other villages kidnap Konoha young girls? Destroyed traces of missing children from the same village?"
"Uchiha Ren, who do you think I am?"
Utatane Koharu immediately frowned and said, "Ren, Danzo has indeed dealt with many shady tasks, but he is right, after all, it is for Konoha."
Mitokado Homura also said solemnly, "If there is no conclusive evidence, putting this kind of charge on Danzo will only completely divide the village."
Many Jonin did not follow suit.
They looked at Danzo, the suspicion in their eyes could no longer be suppressed.
Root has a bad reputation.
Danzo acts viciously, and everyone knows it.
In the past, everyone was willing to shut up because Gen was ruthless to foreign enemies, and also because Hokage Building acquiesced in Gen's existence.
But if this knife were to be cut at Konoha child, the nature would be completely different.
Ren was not in a hurry to refute.
He knew very well that Hiruzen Sarutobi had been sitting in Hokage's position for too long. Prestige, old subordinates, favors, and the balance of the ninja clan all surrounded this old man.
It's very difficult to kill Hiruzen Sarutobi with one bite.
But Danzo is different.
Danzo has too many stains on his body.
Root has done too many dirty things.
As long as a hole is opened, everyone will believe that something rotten is hidden inside.
Ren raised his hand and pointed at Danzo.
"You want evidence?"
Danzo said coldly, "Of course."
"Hokage Office is not Uchiha District. You can't slander anyone you want."
Ren nodded.
"Okay."
"The proof is on you."
Danzo's one eye suddenly shrank.
Everyone in the conference room looked at him.
Ren's voice is word by word.
"Your right eye."
"And your right arm."
Danzo's expression finally changed.
The bandaged half of his face was slightly tense, and his right arm hidden in his sleeve was also stiff.
This change is very subtle, but everyone present is a ninja.
Shikaku Nara saw it.
Hyuga Hiashi saw it.
Inoichi Yamanaka also saw it.
Ren sneered, "Over the years, you have said that your right eye was injured and your right arm was disabled. It was an injury caused by performing tasks for Konoha."
"Many young ninjas in the village actually think that although you Shimura Danzō are ruthless, you are still an old man who sacrificed your body for Konoha."
"But what's the truth?"
"Is your right eye really lost on the battlefield?"
"Did your right arm really get maimed by the enemy?"
Ren took a step forward, Mangekyō Sharingan was so red that it made people feel chills in their hearts.
"No."
"Your right eye is not a wound, it is a stolen thing taken from someone else."
"Your right arm is not a war achievement, it is the unjust result of Orochimaru human experimentation and Root plunder."
Danzo shouted loudly, "Uchiha Ren!"
Ren's voice directly overwhelmed him.
"Don't rush to yell."
"Didn't you say that Gen never broke through the bottom line?"
"Didn't you say you were innocent?"
"That's easy."
Ren stared at Danzo's bandaged right eye and right arm, and his voice echoed throughout the conference room.
"Danzo, since you say you are innocent, then in front of all Konoha Jonins and Clan Leaders of all races, untie the bandages on your right eye and right arm and prove your innocence."
Danzo's expression finally changed.
Ren The moment he said those words, all the eyes in the conference room were focused on his right eye and right arm.
In these eyes, there was suspicion, shock, scrutiny, and uncontrollable disgust.
Danzo leaned on crutches and subconsciously took half a step back.
"Absurd!"
His voice suddenly rose in pitch, filled with sharp anger after a secret was exposed.
"Uchiha Ren, you are so brave!"
"I am the elder Konoha, the Konoha Leadership personally recognized by Second Hokage. How dare you slander me and offend the dignity of the elder in front of Hokage and many Jonin!"
He scolded angrily while leaning towards Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He looked like he had been greatly wronged.
But his right arm, which was hidden in his sleeve, was stiff as hell.
The right eye under the bandage was staring at Ren, as if if Ren took another step forward, he would take action immediately.
Utatane Koharu frowned and said, "Ren, the matter hasn't been found out yet, you can't--"
"Shut up."
Ren didn't even look at her.
His eyes were always on Danzo.
"Danzo, I will give you a chance to prove your innocence."
"Didn't you say that I slandered you?"
"Then take off the bandage."
Danzo's breathing was a little heavier.
His one eye was cold, and his voice was filled with anger.
"My body is the result of injuries from carrying out countless missions for Konoha!"
"This is not something that a junior like you, Uchiha, can pry into at will!"
"You want to force Elder Konoha to open his wounds in public. This is humiliating!"
"This is a provocation to Konoha Leadership!"
These words are true and correct.
If it were changed to the past, there would always be someone in the conference room who would immediately stand up and speak for him.
But now, many Jonin are silent.
Because Danzo's reaction was too intense.
It's so intense that it doesn't look like you've been wronged.
It's more like being afraid of being seen.
Shikaku Nara's fingers were gently clasped on the table, and his brows were lowered lower and lower.
Inoichi Yamanaka looked at Danzo's right eye and then at his right arm hidden in his sleeve, his expression getting increasingly ugly.
Hyuga Hiashi has even turned on Byakugan. Veins popped up in the corners of his eyes, and his eyes were fixed on Danzo.
The next moment, his pupils shrank suddenly.
"Danzo Elder."
Hyuga Hiashi's voice deepened.
"There is indeed an abnormal Chakra flow in the position of your right eye."
Everyone in the conference room was shocked.
Danzo turned his head sharply.
"Hyuga Hiashi!"
Hiashi did not give in.
"And your right arm."
"The Chakra reaction there is not like normal flesh and blood at all."
