Hokage Building.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo, Homura and Koharu were all here.
Before them was Itachi.
"...That's how it happened, after the attack by Elder Danzo, Shisui didn't want to see the future of the Uchiha launching a coup and committed suicide."
Itachi lowered his head and said.
Danzo was expressionless.
Homura and Koharu looked at each other.
Boom!
Sarutobi Hiruzen angrily slammed the table and said furiously, "Danzo, what have you done?!"
His anger at this moment was completely real.
Shisui was an Uchiha who was completely loyal to him.
And if Shisui succeeded in executing the Kotoamatsukami plan yesterday, Fugaku could now also be used indirectly by him.
The entire Uchiha clan would be under his control.
The biggest hidden danger that could threaten his position as the Hokage would be solved.
However!
Because of Danzo's attack on Shisui, everything was in vain now.
On Danzo's side, he said as usual, "I can't trust Shisui. It's too dangerous if the power of Kotoamatsukami is used on us."
"Bullshit!" Sarutobi Hiruzen exclaimed.
Who would believe this nonsense?
He didn't believe Danzo couldn't see what kind of person Shisui was.
After arguing for a few more words, Sarutobi Hiruzen temporarily suppressed his anger, and thought of something again, with a headache.
"Itachi, do the Uchiha clan now know what happened yesterday?"
If the Uchiha clan found out, the situation would be really troublesome.
He could almost imagine the picture of the Uchiha clan becoming turbulent and setting off a coup d'état.
"Before Yashiro and the others approached me, but I didn't say anything."
"On Yuta's side, because Shisui asked him not to speak out before he died, and he didn't tell Yashiro and the others as well."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Itachi say.
"However, Yuta asked that Elder Danzo must be dealt with, otherwise he would still tell the story of Shisui's attack."
"Humph!"
Danzo snorted directly with a disdainful expression.
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and let Itachi out first, looking at Danzo with a hesitant expression on his face.
A bad premonition rose in Danzo's heart.
"Hiruzen? Are you really going to deal with me as that brat Yuta asked?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent.
Koharu said, "If you don't make a statement, what if Yuta directly speaks out about Shisui, and the Uchiha clan initiate a coup?"
Homura nodded, thinking the same way.
"Ridiculous! What do you two know?"
Danzo scoffed and said his thoughts directly, "Now that Shisui is dead, we should take this opportunity to eradicate the Uchiha clan directly, or should we wait for them to stage a coup?"
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others were unimpressed.
Seeing this, Danzo hurriedly said, "Hiruzen, Yuta actually chased me before and even wanted to kill me directly!"
"Do you think that if the Uchiha clan launches a coup, Yuta won't dare to kill you?"
"This kind of daring person is the biggest threat to us now."
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, feeling a little shaken in his heart.
Yuta actually chased down and even wanted to kill Danzo before, which showed that he had no reverence for the higher-ups of the village.
Such people were indeed a danger.
But!
Exterminating the Uchiha clan now was impossible.
As the Hokage, if a ninja clan that had been existing for thousands of years is exterminated in his reign, that would definitely be a huge stain.
It would deal a major blow to his image.
At that time, the other ninjas in the village would probably feel in danger.
Even if they don't say anything, they would probably look forward to his death in their heart.
After making up his mind, Sarutobi Hiruzen called back Itachi, who was waiting outside.
Then he said with a straight face, "Itachi, I have decided to remove Danzo's position as the head of the root. You go and inform Yuta of this."
Whoa!
Danzo overturned the chair directly and stood up, his face extremely ugly.
"Hiruzen, do you know what you're doing?"
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen was completely unmoved, and said with a serious face, "Danzo, this is my decision as the Hokage. You have gone too far with Shisui."
"..."
Danzo pointed at Sarutobi Hiruzen but didn't know what to say.
After a long time, his expression slowly calmed down.
His face was gloomy and scary, and he said as he walked out, "Hiruzen, you will regret your decision today."
The two elders also left quickly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked some more details.
After confirming that both of Shisui's eyes were destroyed, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt regretful and had no doubts about his previous decision to deal with Danzo.
If it weren't for Danzo, he wouldn't have lost a useful tool man with the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Itachi, with some hesitation on his face, said, "Lord Hokage, when Shisui died, I also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan."
As he spoke, he showed the Mangekyō he had recently awakened.
After seeing the result of Sarutobi Hiruzen's treatment of Danzo, he scoffed at Yuta's words yesterday.
In his opinion, it was nothing but a slander of the Third Hokage because of Yuta's prejudice.
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face suddenly changed, and then his heart became ecstatic.
He had just lost a Mangekyō, but now another had appeared.
Sure enough, the decision to dispose of Danzo was the right one.
Didn't Itachi tell him about the Mangekyō directly now?
Before, he also regretted that the other person of the Uchiha twin stars could not be used by him.
Now it seemed that Itachi, who had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, obviously had stronger potential than Yuta.
He then asked about Itachi's pupil technique, and found that it was not a magical technique like Kotoamatsukami.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little disappointed in his heart, but he still had a look of encouragement on his face.
"Itachi, in the future, the affairs of the Uchiha clan will depend on you."
