Danzo's Trump Card

At Uchiha Fugaku's cry of pain, countless Ninja collapsed too. They appeared unhurt, but their bodies felt weak, and they couldn't use their Chakra at all.

"Danzo, what did you do?"

"Tsunade, you're quite lucky. You weren't caught by the technique!" Surprise crossed Shimura Danzō's weathered face.

"You bastard!"

"Tsunade, if you're willing to abandon these people and attack me, be my guest! But I can't say what'll happen to the Ninja whose Chakra has been sealed!" Shimura Danzō said.

Then he channeled Chakra into his voice and called out to everyone around him: "Choose for yourselves whether you live or die! Asuma knows what Lightning Dream, Lightning Man does, doesn't he?"

"The ultimate Lightning Release Ninjutsu. It can instantly destroy everything within its center," Asuma Sarutobi said grimly.

But the Ninja remained resolute. None seemed willing to side with Danzo, and not one begged for mercy.

"I knew it. But..."

Shimura Danzō pulled out a document bearing the Daimyo's seal.

"This is the document showing the Daimyo's support for me to become Hokage of Konoha!"

"In other words, Uchiha Itachi has no legitimate claim to the Hokage Position!" Shimura Danzō said.

Tsunade hesitated too. If he had simply produced this document out of nowhere, she would never have believed it. But after everything these people had done today, she could hardly dismiss it.

"Is it true, Lady Tsunade?"

"Is the document real?"

Everyone turned to Tsunade, the most respected
