Just as everyone was preparing to rest, the wind chimes at the tavern entrance rang.
jingle.
The door was pushed open from the outside.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was the first to enter the front hall.
Shimura Danzō, leaning on his cane, followed beside him.
As soon as Danzo entered, he began to observe the interior of the tavern.
Front-of-house staff.
A newly opened hot pot and barbecue restaurant.
There are also the rear apartments and the entrance to the Dispute Arena.
Everything matches the intelligence gathered by the Root.
But he didn't see the powerful figures mentioned in the intelligence report.
Danzo's expression remained unchanged.
"You're Zhang Yu?"
Zhang Yu sat down behind the bar.
"It's me."
He called out towards the backyard.
" Hashirama, Tobirama."
"Someone is looking for you."
Footsteps soon followed.
They exited through the internal passageway Hashirama.
Tobirama followed behind, carrying the account book.
The moment the two appeared, Danzo tightened his grip on his cane.
The red armor on Hashirama's body.
Tobirama's white hair and blue armor.
He had seen those two faces countless times in the Hokage Rock and in the records of all the Hokage.
There is absolutely no way they will admit their mistake.
" Lord First?"
" Lord Third?"
Danzo stared intently at the two of them.
"That's impossible!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent.
He simply stood aside, waiting to see Danzo's reaction.
Danzo raised his left hand and pressed it against his right eye, which was covered by a bandage.
Genjutsu.
Everything before my eyes must be Genjutsu.
However, his right eye was transplanted with Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan.
Ordinary Genjutsu cannot affect him at all.
In Konoha, no one could put him into this level of illusion without him even realizing it.
Danzo forcibly suppressed his surprise and doubt.
Hiruzen.
What did you see?
Hiruzen Sarutobi answered calmly.
" The First Hokage and the Second Hokage."
Danzo's expression darkened further.
If only he saw it, it could be explained as Genjutsu.
Hiruzen Sarutobi gave the same answer.
Hashirama walked to Zhang Yu's side.
"Boss, is this Danzo?"
"Right."
He looks even more serious than Tobirama.
Tobirama said coldly, "Brother, don't compare me to him."
Danzo paused for a moment when he heard their conversation.
Tone of voice.
action.
There's also the way Hashirama and Tobirama interact.
Everything matches the secret records of Konoha.
How can the dead possibly reappear?
Just then, Ban returned carrying the speaker.
"The location is not suitable."
"It's easy to get exposed to oil fumes when barbecuing."
Only after he finished speaking did he notice Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo standing at the door.
Ban put down the speaker.
His gaze fell on the bandages on Danzo's face.
"These are the people who participated in the Uchiha Clan Massacre?"
Before Danzo could answer, Madara had already appeared in front of him.
One hand grabbed his neck.
Danzo's feet left the ground.
The cane in his hand fell to the ground.
He tried to mobilize his Chakra to resist, but Madara's fingers suddenly tightened.
The feeling of suffocation made his face turn red quickly.
The crimson Mangekyō Sharingan swirled within Madara's eyes.
The moment that eye power appeared, Danzo's right eye, beneath the Danzo, began to ache.
" Mangekyō Sharingan..."
"Who are you..."
Ban raised his hand and tore off the bandage on his forehead.
Sizzle!
The bandage broke.
A Three-Tomoe Sharingan was exposed to everyone.
Ban stared at that eye, his voice turning cold.
"Since when have outsiders become allowed to use the Uchiha's eyes?"
After Danzo Madara's face clearly, his last shred of hope vanished.
Madara Uchiha.
The First Hokage.
The Second Hokage
Three people who had long since died were now standing in this tavern.
Moreover, none of them were Impure World Reincarnation ).
They are breathing.
He has a body temperature.
His body also lacked the cracks characteristic of Impure World Reincarnation.
They really came back to life.
For the first time, panic appeared on Danzo's face.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood to the side, silently picking up his cane.
Before coming, Danzo said he would never lose his composure.
They'd only been inside a short while, and Madara had already lifted them into the air.
Hashirama quickly stepped forward.
"Spot."
"Let him go first."
"The boss said we can't interfere in Konoha's internal affairs."
"By killing Danzo, you've broken the tavern's rules."
Ban looked at Zhang Yu.
Seeing that Zhang Yu did not give the order, he then released his grip.
Bang!
Danzo fell to the ground, clutching his neck and coughing repeatedly.
He was just a hair's breadth away from being strangled to death by Madara.
Zhang Yu ignored him and instead looked at the people in the front hall.
"White."
The white horse rode over.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
"Take Ino, Hinata, and Kaori out to do some shopping."
Zhang Yu pointed to the new store.
"Buy some meat and vegetables suitable for grilling."
We need this for tonight's dinner party.
Ino put down the menu she was holding.
"Shall we go now?"
"Right."
Buy more.
"You all know how much Hashirama eats."
Hashirama was somewhat unconvinced.
"Boss, I've worked all day today."
It's normal to eat a little more.
He opened the ledger in the Tobirama.
"Big brother has already had snacks three times today."
"That's to replenish energy."
Zhang Yu was too lazy to listen to his explanation.
"Bai, you guys go ahead."
Be careful on the road.
Nodding blankly.
"Clear."
He left the tavern with Ino, Hinata, and Kaori.
As soon as the group stepped out the main gate, Zabuza followed them out through the back door.
He didn't walk with Bai and the others, but instead disappeared into the shadows of the street to act as their bodyguard.
After making the arrangements, Zhang Yu walked up to Danzo.
Get up.
Danzo up, using the corner of the table for support.
He dared not repeat the tough attitude he had when he first entered.
Ban was standing a few steps away.
Those Mangekyō Sharingan were still open.
Zhang Yu looked at Danzo.
I know why you've come today.
"Rest assured."
"I have no interest in Konoha's power."
"Who becomes Hokage or who manages Root is none of my business."
Danzo did not immediately believe it.
" The Lord First, the Second, and Madara Uchiha are all here."
How can you expect me to believe that you won't interfere in Konoha?
Before Zhang Yu could answer, Ban had already taken a step forward.
Answer my question first.
Danzo tensed up.
Ban stared at him.
"What does the Uchiha Clan Massacre have to do with you?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression also turned serious.
Danzo silent for a moment, then straightened up again.
"It was my doing."
" The Uchiha Clan is preparing to launch a coup."
"They have become a hidden danger to Konoha."
"For the sake of the village, I must eliminate them beforehand."
"All the blame can be placed on me."
Ban's fist slowly clenched.
"For the village?"
"So you just slaughtered the entire Uchiha Clan?"
Danzo did not retreat.
"Just a necessary sacrifice."
"As long as Konoha remains stable, I will have no regrets."
No sooner had he finished speaking Tobirama up.
"From the perspective of maintaining Konoha's stability, his actions were not problematic."
The lobby fell silent instantly.
Ban suddenly turned his head.
Tobirama!
Did you hear what he said?
He wiped out the entire Uchiha!
