Chapter 261 Consensus: Root cannot be spared, and neither can Danzo! [Please Subscribe]
The various speculations and rumors that circulated within the clan can now be put to rest, because Kitahara Kaede's diary has confirmed that it was indeed Obito Uchiha who voluntarily handed over his eyes to Kakashi Hatake.
Moreover, it seemed that his situation was beyond saving; half of his body was crushed by a boulder, and his other Sharingan was probably also ruined.
He had done things like leaving his only remaining Sharingan to his friend as a keepsake before.
This was the case when Uchiha Shisui entrusted the Sharingan to him.
But it doesn't matter now, since none of my clansmen are left; I sent them all down to meet Obito.
I believe Obito can explain this to them well underground.
"Impossible! How could Kakashi awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan?"
Inside the Uchiha ancestral home, Uchiha Sasuke was completely dumbfounded. He stared at the video of Hatake Kakashi awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan and simply refused to believe it.
This is outrageous.
In his anxiety, he even stopped calling out to Kakashi-sensei.
In fact, Sasuke Uchiha often switched between calling Kakashi Hatake "Kakashi" and "Kakashi-sensei" when it came to addressing him. Recently, he had been calling him "Kakashi-sensei," so when he exclaimed in surprise, he immediately blurted out "Kakashi."
All of this truly astonished him. The Mangekyou Sharingan is a treasure that only a very few absolute geniuses can awaken, even in the thousand-year history of the Uchiha clan.
I have never heard of an outsider being able to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Kakashi Hatake has now undoubtedly broken this pattern.
The fact that he had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan despite being an outsider left him with mixed feelings; he found it unbelievable and somewhat hard to accept.
He was just a foreigner!
As clearly shown in the video, it was Obito Uchiha who entrusted his Sharingan to Kakashi before his death.
In this respect, there is absolutely nothing to criticize about Kakashi Hatake.
He died fighting for the village, so Sasuke Uchiha was filled with mixed emotions and didn't know what to say.
Among these people, the only one who could be considered relaxed was probably the Seventh Naruto, because he knew for certain the future and that these dead people would be resurrected.
Meanwhile, Tsunade also learned of Kakashi Hatake's death. Although she sent Koro to rescue him as quickly as possible, it was too late.
At this moment, Tsunade could no longer sit still. She stood up and smashed the stone wall on the rooftop with a single punch.
A moment later, Choji Akimichi finally arrived and told Tsunade about Pain's abilities.
"His gender is male, and his age is between twenty-five and thirty. He is characterized by six nose rings and seven earrings. His ability is to use techniques similar to gravity and repulsion, which can attract targets to his side and deflect all ninjutsu attacks. However, after using that technique, there is an interval of about five seconds before he can use it again!"
"This is what Choji Akimichi reported."
Aside from the Seventh Hokage Naruto, everyone else reading the diary was also quietly recording information.
This is a formidable enemy they will face in the future, so this intelligence is also very useful.
"Your report is good; this will reduce a lot of casualties."
Tsunade gave her approval.
"This message is being conveyed to everyone through slugs."
At this moment, Tsunade also conveyed a message to Choji Akimichi: his father, Choza Akimichi, was still alive, but Kakashi Hatake would never wake up again.
The village was in complete chaos, as if it were experiencing some kind of terrifying battle.
However, when a group of people appeared, everyone couldn't help but frown. It was none other than Danzo, who led a group of ANBU.
While the battle raged outside, with countless dead and wounded, Danzo showed no intention of letting Root intervene in the fight.
"In that case, Tsunade's era will come to an end, but we can't just hand over the Nine-Tails to Akatsuki like that. That possibility has been ruled out. Until the turmoil up above is quelled, we'll go underground for now."
Danzo coldly said that the Konoha villagers, who were completely out of the loop, suffered heavy casualties.
Even though he claims to love Konoha, he doesn't care about the deaths of ordinary people at all.
"Shouldn't we go and help them?"
A Root ninja asked, "Even if Lord Danzo leads everyone, it's all meaningless if Konoha and its people disappear."
"The princess is now a woman who has become Hokage. Since the Slug Technique has been used, we won't wipe them all out. Although there may be some casualties, it is a necessary sacrifice for me to become Hokage."
Danzo said coldly.
Everyone was outraged when they saw this.
"Fine, fine, fine. Even at this point, you're still fighting for power. With the village under attack from outsiders, all you're thinking about is becoming Hokage. Do you even deserve to be Hokage?"
Jiraiya couldn't help but slam his hand hard on the table, instantly smashing it to pieces.
His face rarely showed any anger. It was truly outrageous. Look at the chaos outside, and Danzo was still here with his Root members, waiting for an opportunity.
This is a complete dereliction of duty and a waste of combat power.
Even disregarding Danzo himself, Root itself existed as a training force for the Anbu, making it the elite of the elite. If these people were to go out and join the battle, it would undoubtedly greatly change the course of the war.
"This Danzo absolutely cannot be allowed to live," Jiraiya said coldly. He had already been secretly gathering evidence against Danzo, ready to take action once the old man stepped down after Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha was launched.
Such a person is truly terrifying in the heart of Konoha.
"Very well, the roots can't be left either."
Tsunade narrowed her eyes. In the video, she was the Hokage, the supreme leader of Konoha in all aspects, and theoretically, Root was also her subordinate.
However, it was clear that she could not command these Root members, who followed Danzo wholeheartedly, even at the cost of helping him seize power and become Hokage.
"No, there are still some promising talents." Tsunade thought of the suggestion from some members of Root to go up and rescue them, which meant that they still had some conscience and at least some humanity.
Even so, they could not possibly betray Danzo; she had also heard about the special nature of the Root.
Not only are the members of Root taken away and trained to be brainwashed from a young age, making them inherently loyal, but more importantly, they will also be subjected to a sealing technique called the Tongue Curse Extinction Technique, which will instantly kill anyone who tries to reveal Danzo's secrets or betray Danzo.
So if possible, after she becomes Hokage in the future, she should force Danzo to back down and force him to break the seal. This way, some people who are unwilling to obey will have a chance to leave, and the rest will be Danzo's die-hard loyalists.
Since he chose to serve Danzo instead of himself as Hokage, there was no need for him to stay.
Completely wipe them out!
Although she was a woman and a medical ninja, many people have almost forgotten that she was also one of the Legendary Sannin, and her fame was also earned on the battlefield.
She just has hemophobia, not that she can't distinguish the importance of things.
If the Root or Anbu are not loyal to the Hokage, is there any need for them to exist?
At that moment, she suddenly felt that she might be a more suitable person to be the Hokage than Jiraiya.
Jiraiya was all alone, with only a few old subordinates at most. As a Hokage, he didn't have enough power. If he became Hokage, he would inevitably face the constraints of the elders, and there might even be obstacles from the old man himself.
However, I am different. I can summon the hidden power of the Senju clan, which is enough to seize real power in a short time.
At that time, we can implement reforms!
"Old man, you're getting old, you can't do these things anymore."
"Tsunade said coldly.
"What a Danzo!"
Minato Namikaze was equally furious.
He already knew that he would exist as the Fourth Hokage in the future. Under such circumstances, the thought that there was a force completely independent of the Hokage, and even secretly plotting against the Hokage, made his hair stand on end.
Minato Namikaze had also worked in the Anbu before. While in the Anbu, he had also come into contact with people from Root. Although it wasn't many times, he was able to discern some things from them.
The people in the Dark Division are already quite ruthless, but they are completely different from the Root Division, who are utterly indifferent to life.
They not only disregard the lives of others, but also their own.
The kind of person who would die without hesitation at the slightest command.
There is no doubt that even if he became Hokage, he would have no chance of mastering Root.
If Danzo hadn't acted recklessly, he could have slowly worked his way up to the next level. But now it seems that Danzo was very interested in the Hokage position, and in the original timeline, he succeeded.
If he hadn't run away from the village for some unknown reason and been killed by Sasuke on the way, he would have been the genuine Sixth Hokage, not the 5.5 Hokage as Kitahara Kaede jokingly said.
"Danzo must not be allowed to live!"
Clearly, Danzo's actions of preserving his strength and even wanting outsiders to weaken his Hokage have thoroughly angered Minato Namikaze.
Meanwhile, the most surprised person was Uchiha Itachi, who was stunned when he looked at Danzo's cold and calculating words in the diary.
He wasn't unaware that Danzo was a selfish person and not even a good one. However, in his mind, Danzo was at least doing what was best for Konoha. It was just that in the process of protecting Konoha, he inevitably became tainted by some darkness.
It was a necessary evil carried out to protect the prosperity of Konoha.
This was also a kind of brainwashing that Danzo Shimura carried out on him day after day.
But now Itachi Uchiha finally sees clearly that the Shimura Danzo he originally thought was just a little bit selfish amidst the greater good does not exist at all. There is only the Konoha Kage who has a little bit of the greater good mixed in with his huge selfishness!
