Chapter 225 Sarutobi Hiruzen: Kuichi Ku Uchiha, I will take the blame!
Shimura Danzo naturally didn't know about the orphans in this orphanage. This is the core of Guideng Crescent's transaction.
It can even be said that Gui Deng Xinyue made this dumpling just for this dish of vinegar.
Are the previous spiritual transformation techniques and medicine master Nonoyu useful to Ghost Lantern New Moon?
it works!
The technique of spiritualization is helpful for Kiden Shinetsu to control her spirit, and Yakino Nonoyu is a blond girl with huge R glasses who really pokes at Kiden Shinetsu's XP. Needless to say, the usefulness of these two.
But compared to Yakushi Kabuto, these things can be put aside for now.
If Ghost Light Crescent Moon were to select a few civilian geniuses from the original work, then Kabuto Yakushi and Metkai would definitely be on the list, and could even be said to be among the best.
The talent of Kabuto Yakushi can be seen from the fact that he was able to transform from an orphan to a dragon, becoming a Ryuchidō Sage that even Orochimaru was unable to accomplish.
What is the reason why the Chakra Research Institute of Kirigakure Village has not established a director until now?
Isn't it because there is no research genius who can unify the Chakra Research Institute and guide the research progress of various projects?
But the current Yakushi Kabuto is still a little kid, and no matter how talented he is, he will have to wait ten years before he can be put to use.
However, even apart from his talent in research, Kabuto Yakushi also has considerable achievements in many fields such as intelligence collection, espionage, and medical treatment. He can be said to be an all-around genius.
Therefore, Yakushi Kabuto's identity in Kirigakure Village became clear - he was the founding disciple of Ghost Light Crescent Moon.
Although Gui Deng Xinyue had already been rumored to accept outstanding Ninja School students as his disciples a few years ago when he first became the principal of the Ninja School, there were no talents that he liked in the past few years.
Both Kiden Genzuki and Terumi Mei are from the ninja clan, and a large part of their strength relies on the blood inheritance limits and family secrets. He has nothing to teach in this part.
As for Kisame's special chakra physique, he only needs to wait for him to make a contribution, and then continue to teach him some powerful and mana-consuming ninjutsu, and there is no need to bother with guidance at all.
And the most important thing is that the founding disciple of Gui Deng Xinyue has too strong political significance, so none of the above three people are actually the best choices.
Only Kabuto Yakushi, who was born as an orphan, has outstanding talents and talents, and has the talent to practice the sage mode. This is simply the best proof that Kirigakure Village is inclusive of the world and accepts talents regardless of their origins.
But Shimura Danzo naturally didn't know this. At this time, he was still immersed in the excitement of getting the Mangekyō Sharingan and being able to use the Mangekyō as the foundation to step into the position of Hokage! ——
"Teacher, I want to go on a trip."
Sarutobi Mansion, Jiraiya said to his teacher.
After the funeral that ruined Sarutobi Hiruzen's reputation, in order to fulfill his vow to abdicate, Sarutobi Hiruzen moved directly out of the Hokage's office and moved all his belongings back to his mansion.
Then he locked himself in the room and waited for the investigation report.
"Huh... I am no longer Hokage. If you don't come up with a suitable reason, I'm afraid you will be reviled as a traitor."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat quietly on the sofa, looking at his proud disciple, and reminded him after slowly exhaling a puff of smoke.
It was only a few days before the funeral, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's originally tall body was now slightly stooped, and his face was full of haggard.
In his forties, he was originally at the end of the golden age of ninjas, but now he has half of his white hair.
The impact of the Nao Hatake incident on him is evident.
"Teacher, what you experienced at the funeral has already shown that there is an undercurrent surging in Konoha today. This is exactly in line with the prediction of the great toad sage that the son of prophecy will be born."
At the funeral, Jiraiya was influenced by the atmosphere and thought that the teacher had really done those things.
But after calming down, he finally came to his senses. There must be something fishy behind this, someone must be slandering Sarutobi Hiruzen!
But his words were unfounded, and he had no evidence, so he could only keep these words in his heart.
However, the chaos in Konoha has also strengthened Jiraiya's determination to go out to find and cultivate the son of the prophecy.
One is to go out and avoid all the upcoming troubles in Konoha, so as to be out of sight and out of mind;
Second, the world is becoming increasingly chaotic, so he has to stay with Uzumaki Nagato to ensure that no accidents happen to the child of the prophecy before he grows up.
"Really...can you believe the teacher? The teacher is really pleased."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the disciple he had trained with his own hands, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.
After the funeral, not to mention the people in the village, even his wife Sarutobi Biwako was dubious about him.
For other people close to him, Orochimaru has a cold nature and has been staying in the laboratory since the funeral. Tsunade is far away in Kirigakure Village. Maybe she just learned the news at this time, and the only one left by her side is Jiraiya. .
At this time, Jiraiya's trust was a real help in time for Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Hmm... It's okay for you to go out at this time. You just need to go out to avoid the limelight... Then I will give you a long-term mission to monitor Kirigakure Village and find out the intelligence of Kirigakure Village!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while, grabbed a blank scroll and started issuing tasks.
Although he has now abdicated, he is still the de facto Hokage until the new Hokage takes office. Signing such an order does not require anyone to discuss it with him.
And even if he really abdicates, he can still issue this kind of task. After all... the energy of retired old leaders can only be said to understand everything.
"Old man...take care!"
Jiraiya took the mission letter and stuffed it into his arms. He looked deeply at Sarutobi Hiruzen, then stood up and left Sarutobi's house.
But as soon as he left the gate, he ran into the trio of Shimura Danzo, Koharu Koharu, and Mito Kadoen.
"..."
Although he didn't know Danzo Shimura's role in the Nao Hatake incident, his previous behavior in the Roots alone was enough to disgust Jiraiya.
So after Jiraiya said a simple hello, he left without looking back.
"These three disciples of Hiruzen are really more outrageous than the other!"
After turning to bed, Xiaochun looked at this scene and immediately became angry.
Let alone Tsunade, the granddaughters of Senju Hashirama are not inferior to them at all.
Orochimaru's cold temperament didn't even care about them.
Jiraiya was a little better, and sometimes he was polite, but after he decided to leave Konoha temporarily, he naturally didn't care too much about these etiquette, and naturally he wouldn't go out of his way to take care of their face.
"Okay, don't forget the purpose of our trip."
After Shimura Danzo glanced at Jiraiya's back, he stopped Koharu's complaints before he went to bed.
Now his core goal is to ascend to the position of Hokage. It will not be too late for people like Jiraiya to wait until he becomes Hokage.
"Hmm... Danzo, did you really get the key evidence of the Hatake Nao incident?"
When Xiaochun heard this, he immediately changed the topic and asked about this old teammate.
She and Mito Kadoyan only received a message from their old teammate, saying that they had found evidence of the Hatake Nao incident.
However, he did not say what kind of evidence it was. He only said that it would not be shown until it was in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
After hearing what Koharu said when he moved to bed, Mito Kaden immediately looked at Shimura Danzo with curious eyes.
"We're all here, let's meet up with Hiruzen and watch!"
However, Shimura Danzo naturally would not show the Mangekyo Sharingan outside, and immediately led the two of them into the house.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was originally closing his eyes and concentrating, was also surprised when he saw the trio visiting together, but then he was shocked by Shimura Danzo's words.
"The murderer of the Hatake Nao incident is the Uchiha clan!"
Accompanying Shimura Danzo's sonorous and powerful words was a glass bottle he took out from his arms.
This glass bottle looks ordinary, no different from the same kind in a normal laboratory.
What is unusual is the two eyeballs floating in an unknown liquid inside it.
"Huh? What is this?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kadoen and Koharu Koharu were confused, and for a moment they did not recognize the origin of this eye.
After all, the Mangekyo Sharingan has not been revealed in Konoha for decades since Uchiha Madara left.
The last time it was revealed was in the distant battlefield of Rain Country. The relevant records they learned about were also obtained from the secret notes of Senju Tobirama. It was normal that they could not recognize it at first glance.
"This is the Mangekyou Sharingan!"
Danzo Shimura stared closely into the eyes of his old teammate and spoke word by word.
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the spacious room. The three of them looked at each other. After a while, they gradually recovered.
After turning to bed, Xiaochun's eyes were fixed on the snowflake-shaped hexagonal pattern on his eyes, and the heat in his eyes almost turned into reality.
After all, this is a kaleidoscope!
Back then, it was the ultimate power of Konoha's two pillars, alongside Mudun. Now that Mudun has passed away, it goes without saying how much this kaleidoscope means to Konoha!
"Could this kaleidoscope be the one that appeared on the battlefield in the Land of Rain?... But how did you find this kaleidoscope, Danzo?"
Under the temptation of the kaleidoscope, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other three people had already forgotten the real culprit of the Hatake Nao incident, and their minds were filled with the kaleidoscope sharingan.
"Yes, these are exactly the same kaleidoscopes that were used on the battlefield in the Kingdom of Rain!"
Shimura Danzo confirmed Sarutobi Hiruzen's guess, and then slowly began to "tell" the origin of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Ghost Light Crescent handed this kaleidoscope to him before, so naturally he would not tell him the origin of the kaleidoscope Sharingan.
After all, Uchiha Madara is already old at this time, and he will not stir up trouble except secretly locating Taki Ninja Village and Uzumaki Nagato.
Under such circumstances, Gui Deng Xinyue would naturally not reveal his information.
But this does not prevent Danzo Shimura from making up a reasonable origin for this kaleidoscope. In Shimura Danzo's words, the origin of the Mangekyō Sharingan is indirectly related to Uchiha Madara - these eyes come from Uchiha Madara's "son".
Under everyone's shocked gazes, Danzo Shimura began to talk seriously:
When Uchiha Madara defected to Konoha, before his battle with Senju Hashirama in the Valley of the End, he had a romantic relationship with a woman from another village.
This woman became pregnant, and the child she gave birth to was the owner of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Due to his father's influence, this child is full of hatred for Konoha. Ever since he turned on the kaleidoscope, he has been thinking about how to take revenge on Konoha.
In the previous battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain, they wanted to attack Konoha, but they were resisted by the Wooden ninjas who came from nowhere.
This incident of Nao Hatake was also controlled by him. He used illusions to deceive Nao Hatake. He took the opportunity to cause trouble at Hatake Sakumo's funeral and spread rumors about Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"..."
Everyone looked at Danzo Shimura who was talking eloquently, and couldn't help but show a Σ(っ°Д°;)っ expression on their faces.
Nani?
Madara Uchiha has a son?
Are you learning unofficial history from Kirigakure Village?
Everyone was just about to complain, but when they thought about it, all this was theoretically possible.
After all, Uchiha Madara has never had a woman in the records. After these traitors left Konoha, if they thought about rebuilding Uchiha, it would be possible for Shizuki to be tempted.
And after leaving behind descendants, it is reasonable to fight Senju Hashirama desperately... But why does it still feel so weird?
Everyone has nowhere to vent their old grievances, so they can only keep it in their hearts.
Danzo Shimura just pretended not to see everyone's expressions and continued to talk about the various origins of this kaleidoscope.
In fact, he originally wanted to pour dirty water directly on the Uchiha clan, saying that this kaleidoscope was the Uchiha clan's private possession, and everything came from the Uchiha clan's desire for the position of Hokage.
But when I look back, I think something is wrong. With the public opinion situation in the village now at this point, if it is really said that this kaleidoscope comes from Uchiha, then there will be no room for maneuver between Uchiha and the village.
The final result would probably be that the village was forced to annihilate Uchiha due to public opinion, or that Uchiha rebelled against the village.
These two results are undoubtedly unacceptable to Konoha now.
Therefore, Danzo Shimura did the next best thing and made up a fictional Uchiha clan. He did not directly point the finger at the Uchiha clan, but he was able to have a relationship with the Uchiha clan and use this to attack them.
"And how did you catch him?"
After Hiruzen Sarutobi closed his eyes and thought for a while, he asked a key question.
Yes, it is a kaleidoscope after all!
The "ultimate power" alongside Mu Dun, doesn't it look down on you Shimura Danzo, do you have the ability to subdue a kaleidoscope?
Faced with this problem, Danzo Shimura was naturally prepared.
"Since the funeral, I have sent root ninjas to strictly protect Hatake Kakashi. Because I put myself in my shoes and thought that if I were the murderer, if something happened to Kakashi at this time, then everything in Konoha would be in chaos. A bunch.”
"And sure enough, I found clues around Kakashi."
Shimura Danzo briefly introduced the situation at that time and revealed the most crucial sentence:
"Of course, the key to our ability to defeat him is not our first move, but that the kaleidoscope's pupil power has almost been exhausted, so we can succeed."
Since Kiden Xinyue gave this kaleidoscope to Danzo, he would naturally hand it over to him after the experiment was completed, all the data and genes were collected, and all the eye power was almost consumed.
That's why Danzo revealed this information so generously, without fear of others snatching it.
After all, the current kaleidoscope can be said to be more than just its appearance, and the power of the kaleidoscope cannot be revealed at all.
Hearing Danzo Shimura say this, not only were there no relief on the faces of the three of them, but a trace of regret flashed across their faces.
For the three of them, the kaleidoscope's role as a war tool was far greater than its role as evidence.
"So, everyone, is this investigation report still convincing?"
Seeing that everyone's attention had been attracted by the kaleidoscope, Shimura Danzo stopped pretending and bluntly revealed his ambition for the position of Hokage.
"I have no opinion."
"I agree."
Seeing Koharu and Mito Kadeni express their opinions one after another, Shimura Danzo suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
As long as the true master, Sarutobi Hiruzen, agrees, the rest of the ninja clan can be easily dealt with.
"...I don't have any objection either."
Under the gaze of the three people, Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a long sigh, sat down slowly, and expressed his opinion.
No matter how much of Shimura Danzo's words are true, the key point is that the Mangekyō Sharingan is actually in front of everyone.
Against this overwhelming evidence, he was powerless to object.
Done!
Shimura Danzo secretly took a deep breath, trying his best to show that he didn't care so much, but the hands tightly holding the crutches revealed his inner mood at the moment.
"By the way Hiruzen, didn't you swear on the Hokage Rock that you would do everything in your power to help Uchiha Fugaku become the Fourth Hokage?"
At this moment, Mito Kaden seemed to remember something and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with an inexplicable expression.
yes!
You, Sarutobi Hiruzen, pointed at the Hokage Rock and swore an oath in front of the villagers with the mediation of Uzumaki Mito.
Now that you support Danzo Shimura, where do you put the Uchiha clan and where do you put yourself?
Upon hearing this, the other two people came back to their senses and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with strange eyes, wanting to see how this "ninja hero" would answer.
When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, his face froze, then he closed his eyes weakly and slowly uttered a few words:
"The key now is to stabilize the villagers' trust in the village. Danzo's evidence plays a vital role in stabilizing the overall situation. Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, we can only aggrieve the Uchiha..."
"It's a bitter Uchiha, I'll bear the blame!"
