Chapter 145 - Danzō Appears!? Konoha’s Master Conspirator

In fact, Ning Feng had already guessed that **Danzō might suddenly make a move at this moment**.

His plan was simple.

First, place the blame squarely on Uchiha Feng, then strike like lightning and eliminate him.

With the **Root organization** under his command, even if they killed Uchiha Feng on the spot, **Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato** might raise objections—but in the end, there would be little he could actually do about it.

And after that, Danzō would simply place the label of **rebellion** on the entire Uchiha clan, using it as an excuse to erase them from Konoha completely.

In the original storyline, Danzō had repeatedly used schemes and conspiracies to force the **Uchiha clan into rebellion**.

Before that point, the Uchiha had actually been loyal to Konoha.

They simply couldn't compete with people like Danzō in terms of political scheming.

Now that Danzō had suddenly appeared, how could Ning Feng not understand what he was trying to do?

Sure enough, the moment Danzō finished speaking, several Root members surrounded Ning Feng and the others.

Their eyes were filled with killing intent.

"Danzō, what are you trying to do!?"

"Our Uchiha clan has always been loyal. How could we possibly intend to control the Nine-Tails!?"

Uchiha Fugaku frowned and immediately argued with him.

As the clan leader, Fugaku would never allow anyone to casually throw such accusations at the Uchiha.

"Hmph. Whether you intend to control the Nine-Tails or not… who knows?"

Danzō sneered coldly, not giving Fugaku any chance to explain.

"Disarm them!"

As if worried that Uchiha Feng might rebel, Danzō deliberately added:

"Uchiha Feng, Uchiha Fugaku—you are both high-ranking figures in Konoha. You should understand what it would mean if something happened to the Nine-Tails."

"So behave yourselves. Put down your weapons and come with us."

Hearing this, Fugaku's **Mangekyō Sharingan** widened in anger as he prepared to attack.

Beside him, Ning Feng frowned slightly.

He had to admit—

Danzō's plan was quite clever.

The moment he appeared, he placed a **crime on their heads** and demanded they surrender their weapons.

If they obeyed, what awaited them wouldn't be understanding—

It would be **Danzō's slaughter**.

At that point, if Danzō wiped out the Uchiha clan entirely, even Minato wouldn't have enough justification to oppose it.

Truly a master of internal political warfare.

With that thought, Ning Feng sighed inwardly in admiration.

Then he slowly stepped forward and stood before Danzō.

"Respected Lord Danzō," Ning Feng said calmly.

"You also understand how important the Nine-Tails is to Konoha."

"So your actions are… understandable."

Hearing this, Danzō and the Root members assumed Uchiha Feng was about to surrender.

But suddenly—

Ning Feng continued speaking.

"However…"

"Who can guarantee that after we just killed those Kirigakure ninjas…"

"Your intentions are truly for Konoha's sake?"

"What if… you're the one who wants to control the Nine-Tails?"

When Ning Feng mentioned **controlling the Nine-Tails**, his cold gaze locked directly onto Danzō.

The pressure from his aura was so overwhelming that Danzō actually **took several steps back**.

His eyes were filled with deep wariness.

The last time Danzō had confronted Uchiha Feng, his strength had been far superior.

But now—

He could clearly feel that in many aspects, he was **no longer a match for this young man**.

How much time had even passed!?

"Oh?"

"You think I want to control the Nine-Tails?"

Danzō sneered.

"That would require the ability to do so. Everyone knows that in Konoha, aside from **Wood Release**, only the **Sharingan** can control the Nine-Tails."

But before he could continue speaking—

Something flashed.

A sharp blade suddenly appeared in Ning Feng's hand.

In a single swift motion, he **cut apart the bandages wrapped around Danzō's arm**, turning them into scattered strips.

The mysterious Danzō instantly stood exposed.

Under the torn bandages—

There was pale skin…

And an entire arm **covered with Sharingan**.

Yes.

An arm full of Sharingan.

The moment this secret was revealed, everyone present froze in shock.

Even Ning Feng, who had already expected something like this, couldn't help but pause for a moment.

As a Naruto fan, Ning Feng had long calculated that at this point in the story, Danzō should have already collaborated with **Orochimaru** and implanted **Hashirama's cells**.

But what he hadn't expected was that Danzō's arm contained **so many Sharingan**.

Thinking about it carefully, though, it made sense.

In the original story, Danzō eventually possessed **two arms full of Sharingan**.

So even before the Uchiha massacre, it was completely plausible that he had already begun collecting them.

And this was perfect.

This moment gave Ning Feng the chance to **shift the blame entirely onto Danzō**.

"Hmph, Lord Danzō."

"How do you explain an arm full of Sharingan?"

"And if I'm not mistaken…"

"Those are **Hashirama cells**, aren't they?"

Ning Feng spoke calmly.

But the aura he released made even the Root members nearby change expressions.

Who could have imagined this?

Danzō—one of Konoha's highest-ranking leaders and the commander of Root—had always portrayed himself as someone working for the village's benefit.

Yet behind the scenes—

He had been secretly **collecting the Sharingan of his own villagers**, along with **Hashirama's cells**.

"This… this…"

"Danzō! What exactly are these Sharingan!?"

Uchiha Fugaku was stunned.

He knew better than anyone what the Sharingan represented.

Beside him, **Itachi** and **Shisui** were also shocked—but soon their eyes filled with killing intent.

At this moment, Shisui could never have imagined that **one of his Mangekyō Sharingan would one day almost end up in Danzō's possession**.

"You… how did you know about this…?"

Danzō was completely stunned.

He staggered back several steps.

Even a fool would understand that if this secret was exposed, his future in Konoha would be finished.

Let alone his dream of becoming Hokage.

"Heh."

"Lord Danzō, perhaps you should explain yourself."

Ning Feng had no intention of killing him immediately.

A quick death would be too merciful.

It was far better to let him slowly crumble under psychological pressure.

"You possess so many Sharingan…"

"Were you planning to disarm us first…"

"Then control the Nine-Tails yourself—"

"And frame the Uchiha clan for it to achieve your hidden agenda?"

"Furthermore, you are now suspected of **secretly murdering Uchiha clan members**."

"Please come with us for investigation."

As Ning Feng spoke, he shot a meaningful glance toward Fugaku.

Fugaku immediately understood and nodded heavily.

In the next instant—

Three enormous **Susanoo** rose into the sky.
