A Barrage of Questions! Battle Against Shisui!

His voice cracked like thunder, every word reaching everyone present.

The crowd turned toward him in unison. Uchiha Yongye had become the center of attention.

He stood at the front of the crowd, hands in his pockets, the hem of his robe stirring in the wind as he faced Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He carried himself with more authority than the Third Hokage himself!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth twitched. He had expected Yongye to cause trouble, but never imagined he would be bold enough to accuse the Hokage of a crime!

A figure in teal stepped forward from the ANBU ranks. Shisui removed his animal mask, revealing his gentle face.

His brows were tightly drawn, his Sharingan active, its three tomoe slowly turning in his eyes.

"Yongye, you've gone too far. How dare you address Lord Hokage by name!"

Yongye did not look at him. His gaze remained fixed on Hiruzen Sarutobi, a faint smile tugging at his lips.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, do you admit your guilt?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze was sharp as a blade. It met Uchiha Yongye's stare head-on.

His chest rose and fell several times, his Hokage robe trembling at the shoulders. He took a deep breath and spoke slowly, his voice icy cold.

"I told you. I didn't do it!"

The air went still for a moment. Then hurried footsteps sounded at the edge of the crowd.

Hyuga Hiashi emerged from an eastern alley with two members of his clan. His Byakugan was active, veins raised at the corners of his eyes.

Inoichi Yamanaka and Shikaku Nara arrived together from the west, both wearing grim expressions.

Shimura Danzō slowly stepped out from the other side of the crowd, leaning on his cane. Bandages covered half his face, and a cold glint of satisfaction flashed in his lone eye...
