Chapter 43 Danzo has been corrupted!
Inside the Hokage's office, the light shone on the desk piled high with official documents. The night was as dark as ink, and all was quiet.
"Tobirama... teacher?"
A look of shock and disbelief flashed across Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.
He rubbed his eyes to make sure that what he was seeing was not an illusion. The sharp gaze, the cold aura, and the always stern face were all too familiar to him.
He quickly came to his senses: "Damn Orochimaru..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi gritted his teeth and muttered, "He actually dared to disturb you! Unforgivable!"
Tobirama glanced at him, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "Not bad, this is exactly the kind of disciple you've trained."
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his head with a complicated expression.
He understood the meaning behind his teacher's words, but more than anything, he felt ashamed of his own negligence.
Tobirama strode forward, his gaze as cold as ice falling on the mountain of documents piled on the table. He sneered, "It seems you've been quite negligent in your duties as Hokage all these years."
"Teacher, I..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to say something in his defense, but then fell silent.
Tobirama didn't pause and continued, "If the Uchiha clan cannot be fully controlled, they should be completely eradicated to prevent any future troubles. This applies to both Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha."
"Since Itachi Uchiha was able to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, his younger brother Sasuke will be able to do so sooner or later."
"If left unchecked, it would pose a huge threat to Konoha if any of them were to evolve into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."
Tobirama Senju turned to look out the window, his voice tinged with barely concealed anger...
"The Uchiha clan massacre... it's already happened, blaming you is pointless, including the subsequent events that could have destroyed the ninja world, regretting it now is useless..."
"But Konoha hasn't even conducted sufficient intelligence analysis or made adequate countermeasures regarding Uchiha Gen's Mangekyou Sharingan ability. What exactly are you busy with?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless for a moment, opened his mouth, but said nothing.
What could he possibly say?
For many years, I have worked hard to manage and maintain the business, but I have always been hindered at every turn.
Especially when faced with the various problems of the Uchiha clan, he admitted that he did indeed lack the decisiveness of his teacher.
After a long silence, Tobirama Senju finally stopped pressing for answers and simply sighed softly.
"Alright, monkey, now's not the time to assign blame. Danzo's coming back soon, isn't he?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi paused slightly, then looked up in confusion: "Danzo...did he leave the village?"
Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju's gaze turned even colder: "Are you still the Hokage or not?"
"When I came over from his so-called root base, he was no longer in the village."
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression became noticeably complicated.
He knew that Danzo had become increasingly unrestrained over the years, but he never expected that Danzo had quietly left the village without his knowledge.
Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's complicated expression, Tobirama Senju's face darkened further: "After he returns, summon him here in the name of the Hokage."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart skipped a beat, keenly sensing the killing intent and coldness in his teacher's tone. He looked up in surprise and asked, "Teacher, are you going to... do something to Danzo?"
Tobirama sneered, "What, do you still expect Danzo to be the trustworthy comrade he used to be? He's already been corrupted by the Uchiha Sharingan!"
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened in disbelief: "What did you say?"
Tobirama Senju spoke coldly, telling Hiruzen in detail about Danzo's secret transplantation of more than twenty Uchiha Sharingan eyes, his tone full of anger and contempt.
"Utterly absurd! He actually dared to attempt to strengthen himself with the power of the Uchiha clan; isn't that just courting death?"
As for Danzo using Big Brother's cells...
Tobirama didn't seem to care much...
I didn't even subconsciously take it seriously... and didn't tell the monkey...
Upon hearing this fact, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turned pale, and a clear look of shock and heartache appeared deep in his eyes.
Although he and Danzo disagreed on political views, he never expected that the other party would take such an extreme path.
only...
From Tobirama Senju's words, it seemed he was unaware of a crucial piece of information...
Fugaku's other Sharingan is in his own hands.
Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes flickered, but he didn't mention it immediately.
Tobirama Senju was silent for a moment, then his voice gradually lowered: "Monkey, now is not the time to hesitate. If Danzo has truly lost control, he will become a huge threat to Konoha sooner or later."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and his eyes hardened again: "I understand, teacher."
Tobirama Senju looked at his once most prized disciple, his gaze softening slightly for a moment before returning to its cold stern expression: "This crisis is extraordinary; no mistakes are allowed."
After saying this, Tobirama Senju slowly shifted his gaze to the bookshelf behind Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Bring out all the homework that Uchiha Gen left at the Ninja Academy and let me see it."
Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, somewhat embarrassed: "Teacher, these are just ordinary student assignments, there shouldn't be any problem..."
"monkey!"
"You've become increasingly confused over the years. Would I blame you for something he wrote in the past, and then for your bureaucratic oversight?"
"The ninja world is on the verge of destruction, so there's no point in discussing or blaming anyone. You underestimate me!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, turned around, took a stack of documents from the filing cabinet, and handed them to Tobirama Senju.
Tobirama reached out and took the documents, turning the pages one by one.
His expression was extremely focused, his gaze sweeping over the words on each page, as if searching for something unusual.
After a moment, he finally stopped what he was doing and squinted his eyes slightly.
"Just as I thought..."
Before he finished speaking, his fingers flew into hand seals, and a fine mist of water instantly condensed, slowly enveloping the homework paper in his hand.
As the mist gradually seeped in, the text on one page of the essay began to undergo a strange change. The originally ordinary characters gradually distorted and disappeared, revealing a completely different and eerie text:
Congratulations, you've seen what I really wanted to say.
People always love lies; I was just playing along with the lies.
After all, I'm still a student at the ninja academy...
I'm already tired of these fake dramas.
Sometimes I am very sincere, so sincere that I only want to show people my true self.
Are you afraid of the Uchiha clan being wiped out?
Actually, it belongs to no one...
What does it matter if I die? Everyone dies eventually.
Perhaps, I am already dead.
Hiruzen was stunned, unable to hide his shock: "This is..."
Tobirama Senju sighed, a hint of admiration creeping into his voice...
"His chakra control is truly astonishing; even a Hokage like you was fooled by him."
"This kid, at such a young age, has mastered the use of Sharingan chakra so skillfully, and can even hide such information in everyday text..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his head, his expression becoming unusually solemn: "I truly... never noticed."
Tobirama looked up at the night sky outside the window again and said in a deep voice, "Uchiha Gen is far more dangerous than we imagined. His actions and thoughts are far beyond what ordinary Uchiha clansmen can comprehend."
Because I can't figure it out...
So when Tobirama Senju looked at those words, he felt a chill run down his spine...
"In short... we must deal with Danzo first. His Sharingan may have completely become a power amplifier for Uchiha Abyss."
Upon hearing that his teacher was going to deal with Danzo, Hiruzen felt a pang of reluctance...
The image of Danzo giving him another Fugaku Sharingan flashed through his mind...
Hey...
