The Tobirama closed the ledger.
" The Uchiha Clan is preparing a coup."
"Once the coup begins, Konoha will inevitably descend into chaos."
"Other ninja villages will also take this opportunity to attack."
" Danzo's decision to eliminate potential threats before they occur aligns with Konoha's interests."
The veins on his forehead were throbbing.
He turned to look at Hashirama.
" Hashirama!"
"This is your brother!"
"So many years have passed, and he's still the same!"
Hashirama looked troubled.
Tobirama truly disliked the Uchiha.
"But he's never done anything like genocide before."
"You're still speaking up for him?"
"I was just explaining."
What's there to explain?
Seeing that Tobirama Danzo of his actions, Danzo regained some of his confidence.
" The Second is the one who truly understands Konoha."
"The danger to the Uchiha has never been just a political coup."
Their power comes from hatred.
"Letting this continue will only bring disaster to the village."
Ban slowly turned his head.
The Mangekyō Sharingan once again locked onto Danzo.
Danzo, who had just regained some of his toughness, stopped speaking on the spot.
He recalled the feeling of being choked.
He also recalled how Madara, with just his pupil power, had caused Shisui's eyes to sting.
Danzo.
"Certainly."
"There may have been some inappropriate aspects to how things were handled back then."
"If there are other options, I'm willing to reconsider."
Madara sneered.
Didn't you just say you didn't regret it?
Danzo his cane tightly, offering no reply.
Cold sweat was already streaming down his forehead.
Zhang Yu had watched enough and Teuchi.
"Alright."
"Stop acting, everyone."
Danzo.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was also stunned.
Madara, who was furious just a moment ago, immediately put away his Mangekyō Sharingan.
Hashirama walked over to him, smiled, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Ban, you acted very well just now."
I almost believed it myself.
Madara looked at Danzo.
"His acting skills are alright."
"He just admits defeat too quickly."
Tobirama reopened the ledger.
"It's quite impressive that you've been able to maintain this composure for so long in front of me."
Hashirama nodded.
"An ordinary ninja would have been kneeling by now."
Danzo stood there, completely dumbfounded.
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Hashirama, then at Madara.
The group of people who were just on the verge of exchanging barbs are now chatting as if nothing has happened.
Even Tobirama's approval of Danzo was an act.
Danzo opened his mouth.
"Acting?"
Zhang Yu sat back down at the bar.
"Right."
"I knew you'd come."
So I contacted them in advance.
"We've been waiting for you to come to our door."
Hiruzen Sarutobi finally realized what was happening.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
"Are you trying to give Danzo?"
"Not entirely."
Zhang Yu looked at the two of them.
"There are some things that need to be clarified today."
I will not interfere in Konoha's internal affairs.
" The Hokage, Root, and all the major clans, how you handle this is your business."
Similarly, Konoha cannot interfere in the Undead Tavern.
Danzo dared not interrupt.
Zhang Yu continued, "I don't like to provoke others."
"As long as you don't touch the tavern or the people around me, I won't cause you any trouble."
"But if someone dares to make a move, the outcome will be different."
His gaze fell on Danzo.
"Especially you."
"Don't use the same tactics you used in the Root on me."
"If you dare send anyone to deal with me, or anyone else in this tavern, I'll kill you first."
Danzo felt a tightness in his throat.
Zhang Yu's tone remained unchanged.
"You are dead, but I can bring you back to life."
"Kill them again after they respawn."
"Kill them all, then respawn."
No matter how many ways you try to save your life, it's useless.
"I can keep killing until you dare not even think about it anymore."
Danzo looked behind Zhang Yu.
Madara Uchiha stood there.
Neither the Hashirama nor the Tobirama raised any objections.
All three of them obeyed Zhang Yu's orders.
Zhang Yu is the one who can truly bring the dead back to life.
He said that repeatedly killing and resurrecting is not a threat.
Danzo's back was soaked with cold sweat.
He nodded repeatedly.
"I see."
" The Root will not approach the Undead Tavern."
I will not take any action against you or the tavern staff.
"Absolutely not."
Zhang Yu then looked away.
Remember what I said today.
"Next time it won't just be acting."
Danzo lowered his head.
"Yes."
Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a sense of relief.
Danzo has lived for so many years and has always been tough.
In the entire Konoha, almost no one could make him bow his head like that.
Today's trip to the tavern finally made him face reality.
Zhang Yu then looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"There's one more thing."
" Uzuki Yugao has officially joined the Undead Tavern."
She signed an employment contract.
"From now on, you will be a tavern employee and will no longer serve as a member of the Konoha Anbu."
Does Konoha have any objections?
Hiruzen Sarutobi answered without the slightest hesitation.
"No."
"Since Yugao joined voluntarily, I respect her choice."
"I will personally handle the resignation records for the Anbu."
"Starting today, she will no longer accept missions from Konoha."
Yugao stood not far away and breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Yu nodded.
"Then there's no problem."
"The new store was just completed today."
We're planning to have hot pot and barbecue tonight.
"Since you're here, why don't you stay and have a meal with us?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately waved his hand.
"No."
There are still many documents to process in the Hokage's office building.
Danzo also picked up the torn bandage and hurriedly covered his right eye.
" The Root are also in trouble."
We'll take our leave now.
The two did not linger and turned to leave.
Danzo almost tripped over the threshold when he went out.
Hiruzen Sarutobi reached out and helped him up, then quickened his pace.
jingle!
The wind chimes jingled erratically.
The two left the tavern in a disheveled state.
As soon as the door to the Hokage's office building closed, Danzo flung Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hiruzen!
"You did this on purpose!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped in his tracks.
What did I do on purpose?
"You knew all along that the Lord First, the Second, and Madara Uchiha were in the tavern."
Danzo slammed his cane heavily on the ground.
"You even deliberately brought me there."
"Are you happy to see me being choked by Madara Uchiha?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not deny it.
"A little."
Danzo's face darkened.
"You admit it?"
"You were the one who wanted to see Boss Zhang Yu."
Hiruzen Sarutobi walked behind his desk, sat down, and picked up his pipe again.
I advised you not to act impulsively.
When have you ever tried to persuade me?
I told you to stay calm when you get there.
"You call that persuasion?"
Danzo grew angrier the more he spoke.
He understands now.
Hiruzen Sarutobi never intended to stop it from the beginning.
Not only did they not stop them, they even led the way.
This was clearly handing him over to Zhang Yu and those undead to teach him a lesson.
Hiruzen.
"You want to use them to suppress me?"
