Chapter 226 The Fourth Hokage Shimura Danzo!

The place where the Uchiha clan gathers secretly, Nanga Shrine.

Several fire pots illuminate the spacious space. This is a shrine that has been passed down from generation to generation since the establishment of the Uchiha clan.

It is precisely because of this history and inheritance that the Uchiha clan must gather here to find solutions to problems every time there is a major event.

Facing the position of Hokage that is so close in front of them, the Uchiha clan also gathers here according to tradition to discuss how to investigate the truth of the Nao Hatake incident and defeat Danzo Shimura to obtain the position of Hokage.

Like Shimura Danzo before, Uchiha Homura also analyzed the significance of Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision to select the Hokage candidates as Uchiha Fugaku and Shimura Danzo.

That is to take a step back, take it out, and then sit high in the referee's seat and watch the two families fight each other.

Although Uchiha Homura was extremely dissatisfied with Sarutobi Hiruzen's behavior, he was still attracted by the bone he threw.

There is no way, this opportunity before us can almost be said to be the closest opportunity the Uchiha clan has had to the position of Hokage since the founding of Konoha.

"Clan leader, Hatake Nao is already dead. Even the Reincarnation Technique of Filthy Earth can't find out the real culprit behind it. How is this possible for us to come up with an investigation report that can convince everyone?"

"To be precise, it's the pair of Mangekyō Sharingan that once appeared on the battlefield in the Land of Rain."

But when Nao Hatake is dead and even the Jutsu Reincarnation Technique cannot obtain the memory of the murderer, asking them to find this level of evidence is tantamount to fantasy.

Uchiha Fugaku looked at everyone present and said in a low voice: "That is the Sharingan of our Uchiha clan."

"I have already inquired about this in secret."

I still have expectations for the promises made by politicians.

Uchiha Fugaku, one of the Hokage candidates, finally opened his mouth to participate in the exchange at this time.

If one advances, he can use the opportunity of the two tigers to fight to clear his own reputation;
If they retreat, they can be carried out and used as rafts for Shimura Danzo to show a fair and just situation for the successors of the Fourth Hokage.

And not only them, but even Shimura Danzo may not be able to find such a piece of substantial evidence.

The reason for their silence is not because they were misunderstood by the villagers, but until now, they still don’t know where the Mangekyō Sharingan that appeared on the battlefield in the Land of Rain came from.

Uchiha Yashiro, who was the same age as Uchiha Fugaku, was dissatisfied with this. He believed that this was a trick by Sarutobi Hiruzen to deliberately make them compete with Shimura Danzo.

Therefore, the Uchiha clan, who were accustomed to being suppressed by the village, had to suspect that this was a game of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Uchiha Homura thought carefully for a while and refuted the speculation raised by Yashiro Uchiha.

After all, logically speaking, if you want to come up with an investigation report that satisfies most people in the village, it must have a certain degree of authenticity, there must be considerable evidence, and it cannot be empty talk.

Obviously, even though Uchiha Homura has been the clan leader for so many years, he still has not fully understood the essence of the political game.

"According to private discussions among some ninjas, they all believe that if Sarutobi Hiruzen is really innocent, then Hatake Nao must have been bewitched by others. And being able to bewitch Nao Hatake at close range, but not Discovered by the Hokage himself, only one genjutsu can do it."

In the past few years, they have been investigating, from the list of clan members who have died in battle to clan members who have disappeared in Uchiha history, they have checked everything, but in the end they still cannot find out the identity of that person. .

"Before, on Hokage Rock, Sarutobi Hiruzen swore an oath in front of so many people to help us obtain the position of Hokage. With the way he cherishes his feathers, he should not go back on his words..."

"So, as long as we really come up with a report this time, an investigation report that can surpass Danzo Shimura, then we will definitely have a chance to make Fugaku the Hokage."

"I even doubt that even if we do come up with a detailed report, the village will fight back because it is not convincing enough... After all, the village's attitude towards us can be seen as long as it is an individual."

As soon as these words came out, all the Uchiha present could not help but fall silent.

"No, judging from the situation that Sarutobi Hiruzen faced back then, he probably wouldn't think so... His performance at that time just proved that he really didn't know who the murderer was, and even suspected that the murderer was us, so He will use retreat to advance and throw out the position of Hokage, making us compete with Danzo to test our reaction. "

In the end, they could only come to a consensus, that is, the pair of Mangekyō Sharingan Eyes were probably the treasures of the clan that Madara Uchiha took with him when he left Konoha.

After all, Uchiha Madara was also the leader of the Uchiha clan back then. Not only could he freely enter and leave the clan's treasure house, but he could also delete clan records afterwards.

Before the battle in the Valley of the End, the Mangekyo Sharingan was placed elsewhere, and it is not impossible for it to be dug out now.

However, despite this speculation, they were unable to do anything about the pair of Mangekyō Sharingan. They couldn't even find traces of them, so how could they take them back?

The ultimate power of the clan is controlled by outsiders. How can this not make the arrogant Uchiha clan feel uncomfortable?

Seeing the depressed expressions of everyone present, Uchiha Fugaku was silent for a while and said: "Of course, the point I want to say is not the kaleidoscope, but this hypnotic ability."

"Hypnotic ability?"

"Yes, it is the hypnotic ability. Nowadays, in the eyes of some ninjas and villagers, the kaleidoscope is highly suspected of committing crimes. If this is the case, then why don't we just follow the trend and lock the ability of the murderer behind it on the hypnotic eye?"

Uchiha Fugaku met everyone's gaze and talked eloquently.

"Hypnotic eye? Isn't that our Sharingan?... Wouldn't it be worse to transfer the suspicion of the murderer from the kaleidoscope of unknown power to our Uchiha clan?"

Someone immediately refuted Uchiha Fugaku's proposal.

"No, have you forgotten that our Sharingan is not the only one with the reputation of 'hypnotic eye' in the ninja world!"

"You mean...blood dragon eyes?"

Under Uchiha Fugaku's prompting, someone finally remembered the Blood Pond clan that was almost exterminated by their clan.

"Yes, as far as I know, the Blood Pond clan has now escaped from Hell Valley and is settling in Kirigakure Village under the invitation of Ghost Light Crescent Moon... As for Kirigakure Village's attitude towards Konoha, I don't need to elaborate. Already?"

"Some time ago, Hatake Kakashi happened to encounter the Ghost Light Crescent Moon in the Kingdom of Wind. The Ghost Light Crescent Moon used the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan to secretly cast a ninjutsu similar to the transfer seal. After returning to Konoha, he Is it possible that Nao Hatake cast an illusion?"

"Even though this logic is not very strong, unless Shimura Danzo can provide conclusive evidence, this argument must have surpassed Shimura Danzo, right?"

Finally, Uchiha Fugaku concluded:
"We don't need to produce a truly detailed investigation report. In fact, we can't produce such a report at all. But as long as the report we produce is better than Shimura Danzo, we can win in this battle for the Hokage. win."

"Wonderful!"

After hearing what Uchiha Fugaku said, someone immediately praised him.

"The Mangekyo Sharingan rumored by the outside world is just speculation after all. Unless they really get the Mangekyo Sharingan, otherwise everyone is just guessing... And compared to the Mangekyo Sharingan of unknown power, this one belongs to Kiri The Blood Dragon Eye of the Hidden Village is far more reliable than the Kaleidoscope in terms of timing and motivation." "You are truly the proud son of my Uchiha clan... I really did the right thing by recommending you to become the Fourth Hokage. "

"Yes, once this investigation report comes out, with your strength Fugaku and your status as a disciple of Hiruzen Sarutobi, I am afraid that the Fourth Hokage will basically be sure of it!"

However, amidst the praise, some people present also expressed different opinions.

"But...since the murderer is the Hypnotic Eye, what if someone pours this dirty water on our heads and says it's the Sharingan?"

"No, as long as Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen are not broken-headed, there is no way he would point the finger directly at our clan..."

"After all, now, it is Konoha who cannot live without Uchiha, not Uchiha who cannot live without Konoha!"

Uchiha Fugaku's sonorous and powerful words won unanimous praise from everyone present, especially the last sentence, which was in line with the temperament of these proud Uchiha, and also made everyone present full of confidence in Uchiha Fugaku becoming the fourth generation Hokage. .

"What? Kaleidoscope?"

The next day, when Danzo Shimura raised the kaleidoscope in a glass tube high in front of all the Jonin, the audience was in an uproar.

Especially Uchiha Homura and Uchiha Fugaku, if they hadn't remembered that this was a Jonin class meeting, they would have immediately stepped forward to snatch the kaleidoscope back.

In this case, the eyes of the two of them looking at the kaleidoscope were also full of passion. This was not only related to the issue of combat power, but also related to the face of the Uchiha clan.

On the surface, the Uchiha clan has not seen a kaleidoscope for decades, and it is self-evident what these eyes mean to the Uchiha clan.

Shimura Danzo glanced sideways at the two of them, and then recounted the origin of the kaleidoscope in front of everyone.

When it was learned that the original owner of this kaleidoscope turned out to be Senju Hashirama's lifelong enemy, the son of "Ninja Shura" Uchiha Madara, the scene was even more chaotic.

Even though everyone present was a Jonin, they couldn't accept this wild "fact" for a while.

After all, that was Madara Uchiha!

That "Battlefield Rose" actually had a romantic relationship with someone, and as a result, a Kaleidoscope Uchiha was born that was not recorded in the Uchiha roster?
The rest of the people were like this, and Uchiha Homura and Uchiha Fugaku had expressions of laughter when they heard about this wild history.

Did something go wrong?
Will that cold-faced Shura also move the mortal heart?

They were about to stand up and refute, but faced with the iron-clad fact that the Mangekyō Sharingan in Danzo Shimura's hand was as solid as the Mangekyō Sharingan, they couldn't come up with any reason to refute.

Compared with this explosive fact, Shimura Danzo's investigation report was ignored by everyone.

In fact, when Shimura Danzo took out the pair of kaleidoscopes floating in the glass bottle in front of everyone, the campaign for Hokage was already over.

Regardless of the authenticity of Shimura Danzo's investigation report, the key point is that it is a kaleidoscope in front of us!
For this reason, there is no objection to Shimura Danzo being elected as the fourth Hokage.

"Although this is a trophy that I sent people to capture, because this matter involves Uchiha Madara, the former rebellious ninja of Konoha, I decided to disclose the research on this Mangekyo Sharingan. Orochimaru will lead the research on this Mangekyo and will The findings are shared with the village.”

If there were live real-time support statistics for Shimura Danzo and Uchiha Fugaku, Shimura Danzo's support would probably explode as soon as this statement came out.

Although the blood inheritance limit of this body type could not be used by those present even if something was researched, Danzo Shimura's attitude of sharing the secret of the kaleidoscope with them was unanimously recognized by them.

I don’t have to, I don’t have to use it, but you can’t not give it!

Faced with this situation, even Uchiha Homura and Uchiha Fugaku knew that the situation was over.

In this case, let alone competing with Danzo Shimura for the position of Hokage, even if they wanted to take out the Mangekyō Sharingan, they couldn't find a reason.

What? You said that the Mangekyo Sharingan belongs to your Uchiha clan, where is the evidence?

And this is important evidence to frame the Third Hokage. If you say it is from your clan, does that mean you know about it?
Although the Uchiha clan is full of recklessness, those who can achieve the position of clan leader can still understand this level, so they can only watch Danzo Shimura holding his own symbol of power and stepping on top of the mountain. took the position of Hokage.
-

Among the dark stairs, Danzo Shimura walked alone, climbing up the stairs continuously.

"Twenty years, teacher, have you seen it?"

Danzo Shimura thought of the forest twenty years ago.

The environment then seemed the same as now, dark and lightless.

Only the teacher's voice asking who wanted to stay echoed throughout the space just like the footsteps going upstairs.

It's just that he was different from him now. At that time, he hesitated and did not move forward bravely, which caused him to miss the position of Hokage.

And this retreat lasted twenty years.

Shimura Danzo looked at the bright exit above, constantly thinking about the past twenty years in his mind.

In the past twenty years, he has been buried deep in the ground, working hard and climbing up step by step, unscrupulously. What is his purpose?
Is it for the ideal in your heart?

Is it dissatisfaction with Hiruzen Sarutobi?
Or do you want to prove yourself to the teacher?

Danzo Shimura couldn't figure it out anymore.

But it doesn't matter, he has at least figured out one thing now.

Shimura Danzo finally walked out of the dim stairs and stood under the sun. The eye-catching Hokage Rock was the first thing he saw.

The statue of his teacher, the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, was looking at him deeply at this moment.

The strong wind blew the red and white Hokage God's robe behind him.

The five characters "Yondaime Hokage" shone brightly in the sunlight.

He opened his hands and came to the edge of the rooftop of the Hokage Building, responding to the cheers of the dense crowd downstairs.

"I am now...the Fourth Hokage, Danzo Shimura!"
