When Night Star subdued the clan heads of the Pig, Deer, and Butterfly clans with just a glance, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were shocked and exclaimed in unison:
"What are you doing!? Are you planning to assassinate the elders!?"
Seeing the two elders on high alert, Night Star simply chuckled lightly and shook his head, spreading his hands.
"My demands have never changed from the very beginning."
As he said this, he stood up from his seat, walked slowly to Danzo's front, and looked down at him condescendingly.
"Elder Danzo, what unspeakable secrets are hidden under your bandages?"
"You vile little brat..."
Danzo gritted his teeth, his face showing a sinister expression.
Before the meeting began, he had calculated that Fugaku Uchiha's weakness would prevent him from opposing a senior elder like himself just for the sake of a clan prodigy.
As for the clan heads of the Pig, Deer, and Butterfly clans, the other two elders, and the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, none of them had much favor for the Uchiha clan—some might even say they harbored dislike.
Things were supposed to go as Danzo had planned.
Using his authority to pressure others, he would pin the blame on Night Star Uchiha, thereby weakening the Uchiha clan's influence.
Moreover, Fugaku, as the clan leader, displaying weakness and incompetence in this matter would inevitably cause dissatisfaction within the clan.
Perhaps it could even lead to internal division within the Uchiha clan.
However, Danzo miscalculated one point.
He turned his gaze to Tsunade, standing calmly behind the Third Hokage, and angrily questioned:
"As the granddaughter of the First and Second Hokage, the heir of the Senju clan, how could you defend an Uchiha clansman? How can you face the First and Second Hokage!?"
Tsunade's lips curved into a disdainful smile. Even such a mocking expression, on her stunningly beautiful face, was irresistibly attractive.
"Haha, trying to morally bind me?"
For Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade would hold back a bit, out of respect for their mentor-student relationship and his position as Hokage.
But for Danzo?
She had no reservations at all.
"If you're so curious, why don't you go ask my two grandfathers yourself?"
Seeing Tsunade's attitude, Danzo clenched his teeth so tightly they were about to shatter.
It seemed that this powerful figure, renowned as one of the Sannin, was determined to side with Night Star.
Danzo simply couldn't understand.
These two had never interacted before, and they came from the opposing Senju and Uchiha clans. How could their relationship have developed to this extent?
To the point where Tsunade would defy her mentor, Hiruzen Sarutobi, just to protect Night Star?
[Tsunade is helping me in this situation?]
Night Star wrote in his journal.
[Even though I could force Danzo to remove his bandages without her help, it would inevitably expose more of my abilities beyond the Three Tomoe Sharingan.]
[If I can hide my cards as much as possible, that's naturally for the best.]
[It seems that the truth about Nawaki's death is indeed crucial to Tsunade.]
[Until she gets an answer from me, she won't let anything happen to me.]
"Lord Night Star is in danger?"
In the ninja academy classroom, Izumi Uchiha, who was pretending to attend class but was secretly reading the journal, stood up immediately upon reading this part.
The teacher on the podium was stunned and asked in confusion:
"Izumi, is something wrong?"
Concerned about Night Star is safety, Izumi Uchiha couldn't even respond. Her eyes turned scarlet with the Double Tomoe Sharingan as she jumped out of the window.
She used all her strength to run toward the Hokage building, silently praying in her heart.
"Six Paths Sage, please don't let anything happen to Lord Night Star."
.....
[How should I deal with Danzo?]
Night Star is goal for today was clear.
Danzo Shimura, you like to stir up trouble?
Then let everyone see that arm of yours, filled with Sharingan harvested at the cost of Uchiha lives.
However, there was one problem.
[With Fugaku Uchiha's weak personality and Hiruzen Sarutobi's favoritism toward Danzo, even if I expose Danzo's actions of killing Uchiha, the outcome will likely be swept under the rug.]
[After all, even when Danzo orchestrated assassination attempts, Hiruzen Sarutobi chose to forgive him.]
[To him, the lives of mere Uchiha ninja mean nothing.]
At this moment, female ninja reading the journal thought: What the...
So there was this kind of love-hate relationship between Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura?
Assassinating a village's leader is an unforgivable crime.
And yet, Hiruzen Sarutobi chose to forgive?
As Hokage, this isn't about being broad-minded—this is negligence.
Who is truly the Hokage, Danzo or you, Hiruzen Sarutobi?
Karui, who had just arrived at the Land of Lightning, frowned upon reading this part.
The high-ranking officials of Konoha are truly ungrateful.
Their village doesn't even have clans with Kekkei Genkai.
Kumogakure has always coveted the power of Kekkei Genkai.
The Uchiha clan is proud and arrogant, difficult to get along with?
Heh.
That's only because the ninja in Konoha are too weak.
Ninja live by strength.
If the Uchiha were in Kumogakure, they wouldn't face so much unfair treatment. Instead, they would become revered heroes of the village.
