"Since Jonin Shikaku believes Danzo has a desire to repent... let's test it."
Uchiha Yoichi said, then called in an Anbu and announced to everyone in the room, "Now, let Anbu go ask about all the activities Danzo has undertaken outside the village recently. As long as he reports everything truthfully, then he can be considered genuinely repentant, and his Jonin status can be restored, and I could even offer him my position as Hokage Assistant."
"But if Danzo continues to hide things, then let's reduce him to an ordinary person. There's a sealing technique that makes someone unable to remain a ninja, which should be considered a light punishment for him."
After finishing, Uchiha Yoichi glanced around at Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others, then continued, "Confessing honestly shouldn't be too difficult, right? What do you think, Third Hokage, Jonin Nara..."
Orochimaru chuckled briefly before aiding by asking, "Mr. Yoichi, how would you determine if Danzo is telling the truth?"
"We'll have to rely on Jonin Haiichi; the secret arts of the Yamanaka clan should be able to see all of Danzo's memories."
Once Uchiha Yoichi finished speaking, some in the room looked toward Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Nara Shikaku and others also realized that Uchiha Yoichi had laid a clear trap using Sarutobi Hiruzen's words; since Danzo is said to have repented, reporting to the village is expected.
If he still conceals matters, it would be disloyalty to the village, and punishment would be warranted; moreover, Uchiha Yoichi provided a large concession—truthful reporting could not only restore his Jonin rank but possibly grant him the Hokage Assistant position.
"That's settled then..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed internally and thought, Danzo, this is your last chance.
"Alright, let Anbu go, tell Danzo this is the Third Hokage's instruction and his final opportunity."
Uchiha Yoichi waved a hand, and Anbu nodded before immediately heading to Konoha Prison.
The crowd stayed within the Hokage Office, awaiting the return of information.
After a short while, Anbu returned with a report, saying, "Fourth Hokage, Lord Yoichi, Third Hokage, this is the interrogation result regarding Danzo."
Upon examining it, they found that Danzo indeed did quite a lot, but little that benefited Konoha, mostly self-serving activities to bolster Root.
Secretly accepting missions, abducting talented children... Hatake Sakumo frowned as he read, suddenly reluctant to honor the wager with Uchiha Yoichi and Sarutobi Hiruzen, thinking of directly sentencing Danzo.
"Jonin Haiichi, I'll accompany you."
Uchiha Yoichi chuckled lightly and said, "If Yamanaka clan's secret techniques don't work, my Sharingan Genjutsu can definitely get him to open up."
"...Then let's go together, Yang Clan Leader."
Yamanaka Haiichi sighed internally, a warning not to conceal anything.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and others also followed, given the importance of whether Danzo could continue being a ninja.
After Anbu's questioning, Danzo was brought to the Interrogation Team. Upon seeing such a gathering, Danzo immediately asked, "Hiruzen, what's this about..."
"Sharingan Genjutsu!"
With a glance of his Three-Tomoe, Uchiha Yoichi silenced Danzo, rendering him dazed and completely under control.
Even though Danzo was regaining his pupil power, hypnotizing someone unable to use Chakra was a breeze.
"It's up to you, Jonin Haiichi."
After Uchiha Yoichi's words, Yamanaka Haiichi instructed the Interrogation Team to connect equipment to Danzo's body and head, then placed his hand on Danzo's head.
"Mind Body Transfer Jutsu!"
Using the clan's secret technique, Yamanaka Haiichi traipsed into Danzo's body, swiftly locating his brain memories to review recent events.
Simultaneously, the outside equipment transmitted what Yamanaka Haiichi was seeing.
Time ticked by, and about ten minutes later, Yamanaka Haiichi released the technique, appearing somewhat weary as he said, "That's about it; Danzo's post-departure village memories have been recorded. Yang Clan Leader, would you like to review?"
"Let's wait; first, let's see if Danzo is sincerely repentant."
Uchiha Yoichi began scrutinizing the memories transmitted by Yamanaka Haiichi and, after a while, smiled. Handing the intelligence over to Hatake Sakumo, he instructed Anbu, "Have Uchiha Minami come over, tell her I'm looking for her."
"Yes."
Upon Anbu's departure, Sarutobi Hiruzen realized Danzo must have concealed much, and now he'd never be a ninja again.
The more Hatake Sakumo read, the uglier his expression became. Seventeen Root ninjas hidden, gaining at Danzo's return; last month, the village received a mission about the total destruction in the Land of Hot Water, possibly Danzo's doing.
Intercepting Star Village Ninja—although Uchiha Yoichi informed him, Hatake Sakumo hadn't dispatched anyone to investigate because of the Rinnegan news.
Before returning, he maintained contact with Hanzo, stealing small village secret arts and orphans, ambushing caravans... nearly anything to strengthen Root's power, Danzo did.
Hatake Sakumo regretted not being firmer earlier, but it wasn't too late, "Based on the intelligence, arrest the Shimura Family's ninjas, and imprison them. Moving forward, rigorous screening is required for the Shimura Race, and their entry into Ninja Academy must be duly considered..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen, upon hearing Hatake Sakumo's decision, had but one thought—the Shimura Clan was finished!
No more Ninja Race; future clan ninjas would gradually disappear, never to reappear.
"Lord Yoichi, did you call for me?"
Before long, Uzumaki Minami arrived, summoned by Uchiha Yoichi, who pointed to Danzo and spoke a few words.
Uzumaki Minami, after listening, pounded her chest assuringly, "No problem; with triple interconnected seals, unless he's a Jinchuriki, he'll never have Chakra!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen and others didn't wish to witness this, promptly turning from the Interrogation Team.
Subsequently, Uzumaki Minami quickly imposed a triple seal on Danzo, interlinked and impossible for even Kushina to unravel without risking Danzo's life.
"You bastards, what have you done to this old man..."
Sharingan!
Uchiha Yoichi applied another genjutsu suggestion to Danzo, mandating his daily sweeping at Konoha's gate.
If Danzo still had Chakra, he might resist gradually; but now, obedience was his only option. Uchiha Yoichi even planned for the Security Team to periodically reinforce genjutsu suggestions.
"Mr. Yoichi, is this okay?"
"It's just sweeping the Konoha Gate, Danzo Elder loves Konoha and must be willing to do this little task."
"It's just sweeping? Mr. Yoichi, were it not for you earlier, I would've rescinded your wager with the Third Hokage, dictating Danzo's fate by village regulations."
Hatake Sakumo, uncharacteristically serious, stated to Uchiha Yoichi, "The gate area is too small; have him sweep both inside and outside Konoha. The village needs a clean ground."
"....."
You're a bit too extreme, Fourth Hokage.
Nevertheless, Uchiha Yoichi amended the genjutsu suggestion, requiring Danzo to sweep for sixteen hours a day. How long he could manage without Chakra was unknown.
Danzo concealed his deeds, partly because some couldn't be revealed without nearing death, and partly out of reliance, believing Sarutobi Hiruzen and others still needed him, waiting on rescue.
However, Danzo had been absent long from the village, only to face incarceration upon return, unaware of changes.
This outcome, he brought upon himself.
