Master, Please Become a Hokage

#186 - Section 186

Therefore, his heart was filled with displeasure.

Now, Sarutobi Akira has defeated Danzo, ah, this...

Chapter 149: Public Trial of Danzo

Looking extremely disheveled, Danzo was quickly brought to the Hokage Building to be interrogated.

Because it was the middle of the night, there were no pedestrians on the road.

So there was no possibility of onlookers.

From the corridor... to the spacious conference room, the space in between was filled with people.

The door was open, so even low-level Anbu members could hear the proceedings of the trial inside.

Because these matters did not require closing doors and windows.

Everything strived for justice, fairness, and transparency.

That was the effect Sarutobi Akira wanted.

Daring to reveal everything in front of the public meant that Sarutobi Akira's determination was unshakeable.

Hatake Sakumo sat at the head of the table.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura sat on one side.

Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, and other clan heads, who had been woken up in the middle of the night, as well as heads of various departments, were also present.

Everyone looked solemn, greatly shocked by what had happened.

Although Danzo was a representative of the dark side,

plotting against one's own people... was still a bit too much.

In the past...

the Ino-Shika-Cho clans, in order to protect themselves, would send one or several ninjas to the Root organization every so often, to be trained as Root members.

This was a way to obtain peace.

But now, what Danzo had done confirmed their worries.

So, if he attacks his own people... how would the higher-ups sentence him?

Everyone looked at Hatake Sakumo... and Sarutobi Akira, waiting for the start of the trial.

Sarutobi Akira first explained the cause of this incident.

The result of Uchiha Kagen's murder.

Uchiha Shisui appeared as a notary, revealing the secret he had accidentally stumbled upon.

The two Root ninjas disguised as Uchiha Kagen were also brought to the scene, looking dispirited.

When they saw the two people with identical appearances, exclamations rang out in the conference room.

"Everyone, as you can see, they are not Uchiha Kagen. The real Uchiha Kagen has already been murdered..."

Sarutobi Akira said, pointing at the two.

Following instructions, Yamanaka Inoichi quickly came in front of the two brothers under the gaze of the public.

As he reached out and placed his hand on the heads of the two brothers,

the probing began quickly.

As the situation gradually deepened, Yamanaka Inoichi's expression changed several times, and finally... his expression became extremely serious.

As Konoha's number one intelligence expert, Yamanaka Inoichi's mind intrusion methods were naturally beyond doubt.

The key was... what did he see?

This was not difficult to demonstrate.

After obtaining the permission of the Fourth Hokage, Hatake Sakumo, Yamanaka Inoichi covered his forehead and closed his eyes.

Soon, the images of his thoughts appeared before everyone's eyes.

Connecting his mind to the minds of others, and then projecting the images he saw...

This was not difficult for Yamanaka Inoichi.

Time passed second by second. When the specific process of Uchiha Kagen's murder was displayed, and Danzo's orders were clearly heard,

the exclamations turned into discussions.

Clearly, the fact that Danzo had plotted against his own people had been confirmed.

Among them, the most excited were naturally Yashiro and the others.

They had rushed over in the middle of the night, and suddenly hearing that their clansman had been murdered, they were naturally unable to accept it.

Yashiro immediately pleaded with the Fourth Hokage to uphold justice for the Uchiha clan.

With such a serious incident occurring, it was impossible for other clans to sit still.

The so-called 'a rabbit mourns for the death of a fox'.

If Danzo could murder the Uchiha today, then he could murder other clans tomorrow.

The major clans were the cornerstone of Konoha's founding back then.

Even though the number of ordinary people had become extremely large now, the power of the various clans was still an influence that could not be underestimated.

"Danzo, do you have anything to say?" Hatake Sakumo looked at Danzo, his expression displeased.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also looked at his old classmate in disbelief, never imagining that he would be so mad.

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura also looked ugly, but perhaps they were afraid of being dragged down by Danzo...

"Everything I have done is for Konoha..."

In the end, such words came from Danzo's mouth.

Originally, he was an idealist, of course... a dark idealist.

Therefore, his words were inevitably somewhat divorced from reality.

Giving people a sense of recklessness... or hypocrisy.

In the original work, Onoki believed that Danzo's ideas were too idealistic and too radical.

The road should be taken step by step, and if you go too fast... be careful of tripping over.

This also reflected Onoki's view from the side... Onoki believed that Danzo was not meticulous enough in his work.

He pursued results too much, leading to flaws in the process.

The fact was indeed so.

Danzo harmed many characters in Naruto, only pursuing results, leading to countless hidden dangers.

Sarutobi Akira had long been annoyed by this.

Ignoring his statement, Sarutobi Akira began to talk about the history of Konoha's founding.

This made everyone somewhat confused.

But they knew that Sarutobi Akira never spoke without purpose.

From the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan joining hands to create Konoha,

to Uchiha Madara being betrayed.

The secrets within, spoken from Sarutobi Akira's mouth, even Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but be stunned.

Where did his eldest son... hear these secrets from...

"Nonsense!"

Suddenly hearing that the Senju brothers had turned black, and joined forces to deal with Uchiha Madara,

Utatane Koharu was the first to refute.

Sarutobi Akira immediately glared over.

You haven't even watched Naruto, what do you know?

"I learned these secrets from the murals left behind by the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama..."

There were many ruins in Konoha before.

In the original work, Uchiha Itachi would often wander around and see many murals left by his ancestors, eventually becoming a fanatical Fire Will follower.

Many things left behind by Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama were not known to others.

Only those who were destined could get a glimpse of the whole picture.

And Sarutobi Akira also used the descriptions of the murals in those ruins as an excuse to restore the truth of that year.

"Oh, right... Lady Mito, as a witness of that year, might also know a thing or two..."

Sarutobi Akira said.

Uzumaki Mito was still alive.

If you don't believe it, you can ask her to come over.

Utatane Koharu immediately shut up.

Because if Uzumaki Mito came, who knows what else would be involved...

Therefore, they could only let Sarutobi Akira talk eloquently.

From the Senju brothers turning from dragon slayers into evil dragons,

to targeting Uchiha Madara... and the Uchiha clan.
