"Shimura Danzo secretly conducted human experiments, and the bodies of Konoha Ninja are buried at the bottom of this destroyed laboratory."
Sasuke Uchiha didn't expect such a turn of events. He gritted his teeth and said, "Just uncover the rocks, and there will definitely be residual traces."
There were Anbu Ninja present who specialized in Earth Release.
All it would take is releasing a Ninja Art to unearth the buried laboratory, and everything would be revealed.
However, without Sarutobi Hiruzen's command, none of the Anbu present moved.
Danzo heard Sasuke's naive remark, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
Sure enough, Sarutobi Hiruzen, after a moment of hesitation, said, "I came in a hurry, and there are no Anbu Ninja who specialize in Earth Release among them. I will send people to investigate thoroughly later."
Aren't you the Ninja Hero who mastered all five elemental Ninja Art?
Kakashi thought to himself, holding down the furious Sasuke, and remained silent.
He had already sensed the subtle atmosphere.
Lord Hokage seemed to have something difficult to say.
Danzo said expressionlessly, "Since there's no evidence, it means Sasuke Uchiha killed Root Ninja and framed the Fire Shadow Consultant. How should this matter be punished?"
Killing a fellow village ninja was a grave crime, directly punishable as desertion.
He wanted to get rid of Sasuke once and for all.
"The identities of the five bodies cannot be identified, so there is no evidence either."
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned deeply.
He didn't want to be led by the nose by Danzo, and out of respect for Uchiha Itachi's dedication and sacrifice for Konoha, he also didn't want to kill Sasuke.
His fingers, hidden beneath his Hokage robe, moved slightly.
An Anbu, understanding the hint, walked over and said, "We've found new traces. On one of the not completely destroyed bodies, a broken shuriken was discovered. Its make is different from Konoha's, so it should belong to a foreign ninja."
"A shuriken of a different make?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a look of understanding and deduced, "During the Chunin Exams, there are many foreign ninja. It's inevitable that some with ulterior motives would try to gather intelligence on Konoha. Tell everyone to strengthen security and prevent such incidents from happening again."
A flawed explanation.
Not to mention, all those foreign ninja were staying in Konoha's guesthouse for foreign guests, with Anbu patrolling constantly.
A clearly broken ninja blade was being forced into being a foreign shuriken?
The elite ninja, Kakashi, who graduated as valedictorian from the Ninja School, remained silent.
Because this indicated the Hokage's attitude:
He wanted to suppress this matter.
Just then,
The Anbu suddenly sensed many Chakra signatures appearing outside the Forest of Death, approaching at an extremely fast speed.
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly, sensing the familiar Chakra, and said, "It's fine, they are ninja from the village. They must have rushed over after hearing the commotion in the Forest of Death."
Half a minute later,
Several groups of ninja arrived one after another, including the burly and muscular Akimichi Clan, and the Hyuga Clan led by Hyuga Hiashi...
Almost all the well-known clans in Konoha had arrived.
Their numbers were vast, almost filling all the surrounding open space.
"What's going on?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a bit strange. Even if they had noticed the situation in the Forest of Death, so many people shouldn't have come.
He faintly smelled a conspiracy.
Wearing loose clothing suitable for Gentle Fist, Hyuga Hiashi bowed respectfully and said, "Lord Hokage, our clan received news that Iwagakure launched an attack, so we rushed over."
The veins on the corner of his eyes bulged. After scanning the scene, his expression became strange.
Looking at the situation, it didn't feel like an Iwagakure attack, but rather that their Fire Shadow Consultant had been in an intense battle with someone.
Danzo slightly turned his head, his gaze sweeping over, his expression icy.
It was a warning.
Hyuga Hiashi quickly lowered his head and closed his Byakugan.
For a moment, he had actually sensed a familiar yet strange Chakra signature in the Fire Shadow Consultant's right eye.
Sharingan.
The Uchiha, whose clan had been annihilated, their Bloodline Limit had long been lost in the Ninja World, with only the rogue Uchiha Itachi and the sole survivor Sasuke Uchiha remaining.
Even if they hadn't been annihilated, he had never heard of the Shicun Family having Uchiha blood?
Cold sweat trickled down his temples.
Due to the seal loosening after the battle, Danzo's Sharingan Chakra could not be suppressed, leading to it being discovered by the Byakugan.
Hyuga Hiashi felt a chill down his spine.
The Uchiha Clan's demise was already suspicious, with various rumors circulating among the Ninja Clan, but no conclusive evidence.
The Fire Shadow Consultant's Sharingan made this matter lean towards the most dangerous conclusion.
Beside him, Akimichi Choza looked at the sweating Hyuga Hiashi and asked somewhat strangely, "Hiashi, are you not feeling well?"
Hyuga Hiashi shook his head. Seeing that the Fire Shadow Consultant had already withdrawn his gaze, he breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "It's nothing, the Byakugan consumes too much."
Akimichi Choza was even more puzzled.
Your Byakugan isn't a Sharingan, and didn't you just activate it when you entered the Forest of Death? How could it consume so much?
At the end of the crowd,
Neji quietly opened his inventory and confirmed that the Anbu attire he had just used to disguise himself was lying in an inventory slot, a slight smile curling on his lips.
To be honest,
With the advantage of the Byakugan, many secrets within the village were difficult to conceal.
After killing Hyuga Chusuke, he began planning his escape route from Konoha, and the Forest of Death was one of the backup routes.
However, during his reconnaissance, he discovered Root guards, and then found a secret human experimentation base.
When he discovered Sasuke going to the Forest of Death, followed by the eruption of the Black Flame that burned the forest, he guessed that Sasuke and the Root Ninja had likely clashed.
Neji then planned this operation:
Disguising as Anbu to spread false news of an enemy ninja attack, leading all the Ninja Clan to the Forest of Death.
Only by muddying the waters could he be safer.
Perhaps, he could even achieve a wave of revenge while escaping Konoha.
"Who is it?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned grim.
The enemy ninja attack was a mere pretense, a way for him and Danzo to save face. He had just said it less than two minutes ago, how did these Ninja Clan receive the news?
"Lord Hokage, Shimura Danzo used Konoha Ninja for human experimentation, a unforgivable crime! I accidentally discovered his secret, and he tried to silence me. I hope Lord Hokage will save me!"
Sasuke suddenly stood up and said loudly.
Seizing the opportunity.
Although he wasn't sure why these Ninja Clan had suddenly appeared after receiving false news, it was definitely a heaven-sent opportunity for him.
Though he harbored hatred after learning the truth, he knew that directly proclaiming revenge for the Uchiha Clan while in Konoha would be an utterly foolish act, only leading to him being imprisoned as a rogue ninja.
It was better to first overthrow Shimura Danzo.
"Silence!"
Danzo's face finally showed a hint of panic, and he angrily said, "Nonsense! As the Fire Shadow Consultant, how could I do something that harms Konoha Ninja?"
He glanced around out of the corner of his eye.
All the notable Ninja Clan heads and elite ninja in Konoha were present. If the secret of human experimentation were exposed now,
The consequences would be severe.
