Chapter 17 Danzo's Overbearing Aura
Chapter 17 Danzo's Overbearing Aura
Inside the meeting room of the Konoha Jonin team.
At this moment, the conference table was filled with Konoha's core high-ranking officials...
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Hokage advisors Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, Jonin class leader Shikaku Nara, Danzo Shimura of Root, and many clan leaders including Hiashi Hyuga, the head of the Hyuga clan.
After Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly recounted the entire incident, detailing how Uchiha Abe awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan and used his eye power to deflect an asteroid from its trajectory, causing it to crash into the ninja world, the entire room fell into a brief and oppressive silence.
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped, their shock and fear barely concealed.
Mitokado Homura frowned: "So, Hiruzen, have you already notified the other ninja villages?"
"Not yet. I have decided to convene the Five Shadows Conference, and I will inform them of the specific situation in person then."
The two Hokage advisors exchanged a glance, nodded after a moment of eye contact.
At such a sensitive moment involving the survival of the entire ninja world, holding a Five Kage Summit to explain in person is indeed a more prudent and appropriate move.
As for the deeper reasons, those who know, know...
Nara Shikaku, who had been silently contemplating, finally spoke: "So, where is Uchiha Gen's corpse and his Sharingan now? Can you offer any help in analyzing the situation?"
Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could speak, Danzo coldly interrupted, "Unfortunately, his body destroyed itself on the spot, and his Sharingan could not be found."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Konoha high-ranking officials in the room all turned their attention to Danzo, their eyes filled with obvious suspicion.
As is well known, Danzo has always been very interested in the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan. Now that Uchiha Gen's body and eyes have disappeared into thin air, it is hard not to suspect that Danzo did something in secret.
Facing the sharp gazes of the crowd, Danzo simply stood there arrogantly, his face calm and disdainful, showing no intention of defending himself, or rather, this Dark Lord of Konoha... simply disdained to explain.
Seeing this, the Japanese football team and others were filled with rage...
A few seconds of silence filled the room, and the atmosphere became even more eerie. Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and turned the conversation to Hiashi Hyuga.
"Hiashi, the Hyuga clan obtained information earlier than us this time. Are there any other clues or explanations?"
Hiashi's expression was serious. After a moment's hesitation, he spoke: "There's no more information... All we know for now is that this asteroid's original trajectory wouldn't have resulted in a collision with the Shinobi World continent..."
"It seems that it was indeed interfered with by some kind of extremely strong eye power, which caused it to deviate from its original trajectory and crash rapidly towards the Ninja World."
Upon hearing this, Koharu Utatane couldn't help but ask, "Since it's affected by eye power, is it possible to use the same or similar eye techniques to correct its trajectory again?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned, and then their gazes all turned towards Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo.
Hiashi shook his head with a wry smile: "If that's the case, I'm afraid the only way to achieve this is by relying on the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan."
"But now..."
"The Uchiha clan has been wiped out. Where are we supposed to find someone who can use the Mangekyou Sharingan?"
An awkward silence fell over the room once again.
Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his temples, feeling increasingly anxious and helpless.
The perpetrator of this disaster was an Uchiha clan member who was almost completely ignored by everyone.
But it was precisely this seemingly insignificant figure who, without a sound, brought such a tremendous crisis to the ninja world.
If I had known this would happen...
We shouldn't have tolerated Danzo and his gang like that in the first place...
Danzo spoke calmly, his tone tinged with coldness: "Since there are no Uchiha clan members, perhaps we can approach this from other angles. Is there really no other powerful technique in the ninja world capable of altering the trajectory of celestial bodies?"
Shikaku frowned and pondered for a while before slowly saying, "I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"The power of the Mangekyou Sharingan is already extremely rare, and such a level of ocular power is hard to find anywhere in the ninja world that can rival it."
"Even if it existed, the five great ninja villages would not allow such a power to exist."
Hiashi Hyuga continued to ponder...
I wonder if this relative on the moon has the strength to do that.
Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly stood up: "In any case, we must be prepared for both possibilities. On one hand, we must continue to study the specific data of this asteroid and devise countermeasures."
"On the other hand, we must seize the opportunity of the Five Kage Summit and unite all forces in the ninja world as soon as possible to deal with this disaster together."
Nara Shikaku then continued, "Konoha has begun constructing underground defensive fortifications, and other villages are currently somewhat suspicious of our actions."
"After the Five Shadows Conference, we must manage the pace of communication to ensure that other villages can trust the information we provide in a timely manner."
Danzo snorted coldly, his tone still icy and domineering, his voice carrying an air of looking down on the world!
"Regardless of the outcome, Konoha must take the initiative in the new landscape of the ninja world in the future."
His words sent a jolt through everyone present, as if they had been transported back to the era of the Ninja World War.
Danzo's tone was so aggressive that it even created a misconception...
That's so domineering...
It was as if he was ready to reignite the Ninja World War.
Only Hiruzen Sarutobi sensed something was wrong...
He had known Danzo for decades, and he knew the old man's temperament and personality perfectly. Although Danzo was ambitious, he wasn't that crazy...
What happened?
At this moment, Danzo was unusually determined and brimming with confidence.
His cold gaze swept over everyone in the room; in his eyes, these people were nothing more than a bunch of short-sighted insects.
They simply cannot comprehend that this disaster is actually a golden opportunity for Konoha to rise again and dominate the ninja world.
Only after the catastrophe can Konoha truly stand at the peak and achieve a second great revival?
After the meeting, Danzang returned directly to the root base.
He walked into the cold underground passage, and the Root ninjas around him silently bowed to him.
"Lord Danzo, Orochimaru has arrived near the village and requests to see you."
Upon hearing this, Danzo's lips curled into a cold smile: "You've arrived quickly. Very well, let him in."
Before long, a cold figure slowly walked into the hall of the Root base. His pale face still wore his usual sinister smile. It was Orochimaru.
His gaze swept across the surroundings before finally settling on Danzo, who stood proudly before him.
Danzo stared coldly at Orochimaru, making no attempt to hide the contempt and arrogance in his eyes, his voice cold and domineering.
"What, Orochimaru? Did you rush back specifically to beg Konoha to take you in?"
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru slightly raised the corners of his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and revealed a playful smile: "Lord Danzo, you're quite the joker."
