The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

Chapter 49 The Death of Danzo Shimura

In the commercial street's hot spring inn, the bamboo curtains were blown up by the wind, and in the rising steam, two elders from Shimura were enjoying a massage.

The kunai, reeking of Uchiha medicine, was silently pressed against the back of the masseur's neck; a single glance was enough to make him collapse to the ground.

"Shimura Musashi, Shimura Takeshi, you two have committed a crime. The Security Department would like to invite you for a cup of tea."

The elderly Musashi Shimura was about to form hand seals when he found that his fingers were no longer under his control. He didn't know when, but his chakra channels had been sealed.

The younger Shimura Takeshi attempted to leap, but was suddenly entangled in a chain around his ankle and crashed heavily onto the hot spring rocks, splashing a large amount of water.

"Uchiha! Are you trying to rebel?" Shimura Musashi roared, but was knocked unconscious by Uchiha Yakumi with a chop to the neck.

As two Shimura clan elders, dressed only in yukatas, were dragged out of the hot spring inn, Uchiha Mitsunori was leaning against a cherry blossom tree outside the door.

He reached out and plucked a cherry blossom, saying softly, "Don't worry, you'll be able to see Shimura Danzo soon."

It's 19 PM now, and the villagers of Konoha have just finished dinner and are doing nothing.

They saw many people running towards Konoha Square and began to join them, and soon thousands of people gathered in the square.

In the middle of the square, two elders from Shimura, tied to wooden stakes, were sweating profusely.

Suddenly, more than a dozen Root ninjas appeared from all directions.

A gap opened in the crowd, and Danzo Shimura slowly appeared, his cane slamming heavily onto the ground.

"Uchiha! Release them immediately!"

Uchiha Mitsunori stood on the high platform, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Shimura Danzo, you old dog, you've come in person? Truly... I couldn't be happier."

Enraged by the other party's rudeness, Shimura Danzo raised his left hand and shouted, "Attack!"

In an instant, more than a dozen members of the Roots rushed towards the two elders of Shimura.

Uchiha Mitsunori made a hand gesture, and Uchiha Shisui's three-tomoe Sharingan began to rotate. Shimura Danzo's single eye momentarily lost focus for a few seconds, as he had fallen victim to Shisui's Sharingan genjutsu.

Uchiha Mitsuhide used the Body Flicker Technique, and a cold light flashed by.

Danzo Shimura's right arm was severed at the shoulder, and blood splattered on the sand in the square.

Immediately afterwards, he inserted his fingers directly into Danzo's right eye, which was bound by bandages, and forcefully gouged out the still-rotating three-tomoe Sharingan.

"Ah!!!" Danzo's scream startled birds within a hundred meters.

Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived just in time to witness this scene, and his pipe fell to the ground with a "thud".

His voice boomed like thunder: "Uchiha Sanfeng! Release Danzo immediately!"

The twelve members of the Dark Guard simultaneously drew their weapons, the cold glint of their kunai merging into one.

The villagers at the edge of the square began to stir, and a few timid ones had already shrank back.

Uchiha Sanfeng calmly placed his long sword against Danzo's neck, the blade already drawing a line of blood.

Seeing this, Uchiha Sosuke led members of the guard department to distribute leaflets. The leaflets contained information about Shimura Danzo's crimes, the Root training process, and a list of children who had joined Root over the years.

Sin 1: Danzo Shimura was in charge of the "Anbu Training Department", or Root for short. Most of its members were war orphans who were forced to join Root when they were 5 or 6 years old. They had to master basic assassination techniques before the age of 10, with a dropout rate as high as 90%.

According to the Guard Department's investigation, a total of 1432 war orphans were forced to join the Root, resulting in the deaths of more than 1300 children during Root training.

Root culture process

1. In order to make the members of the Root ruthless, they must kill their companions or relatives with their own hands upon graduation.

2. Those who survive will be implanted with the Seal of the Tongue Curse, preventing them from revealing any information about the Root. If they disobey the order, they will be killed by the cursed seal.

3. 20 hours of high-intensity training per day, including:

a. Endless assassination drills: Before graduation, trainees need to ambush each other, and serious injuries are common.

b. Poison Resistance Test: Trainees will be forced to ingest a deadly poison and must prepare their own antidote; failure results in death.

c. Survival by starvation: surviving for a week without food, relying solely on stealing or eating the corpses of companions.

4. Once a trainee is eliminated, he will become a test subject for Root Human Experimentation, with a mortality rate of nearly 100%.

Crime 2: To steal the Konoha clan's bloodline limit, he captured Konoha villagers for human experimentation. To steal the Uchiha clan's Sharingan and forbidden techniques, he attacked and killed several Uchiha clan Jonin.

Evidence: Shimura Danzo's right arm was transplanted with Hashirama cells and several three-tomoe Sharingan eyes, and there was also a three-tomoe Sharingan eye under the bandage on his right eye.

Crime 3: Instigating war. During World War II, the arrogant Shimura Danzo went to Amegakure and provoked Hanzo of the Salamander. As a result, Hanzo slashed his right arm and blinded his right eye. Seeing that the Konoha elders were so weak, Hanzo launched a war against Konoha, resulting in the deaths of thousands of Konoha ninja.

Thousands of Konoha villagers, witnessing Shimura Danzo's heinous crimes, shouted, "Shimura Danzo deserves to die! Kill him! Kill him!"

The villagers' emotions had been stirred up.

Uchiha Mitsumine suddenly raised his voice, which echoed throughout the entire plaza: "Do you know why Shimura Danzo committed so many evil deeds, yet no one dared to expose him? Because the one who protected him was none other than the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi!"

After saying that, the tip of his long sword pointed directly at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The square erupted in chaos, and Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

Several ninja clan leaders in the crowd exchanged meaningful glances.

Hiruzen Sarutobi forced himself to remain calm and shouted, "Absurd! When have I ever protected Danzo? I have no knowledge of his actions."

Uchiha Mitsunori sneered, "The official name of Root is the Anbu Training Department, and the Anbu is a department directly under the Hokage. Root's funding was also approved by you, the Hokage, and now you're telling us you know nothing about Root!"

He grabbed Danzo's bloodied severed arm, displaying the part with the Sharingan eyes to everyone: "Where did these eyes come from? And where did this arm with the transplanted Hashirama cells come from?!"

An elderly woman with white hair suddenly rushed out of the crowd, her trembling finger almost poking Hiruzen Sarutobi's face: "The day my grandson was taken away, I clearly saw it was the Anbu who took him away!"

An old farmer wearing a straw hat trembled as he took the flyer, his cloudy tears dripping onto the paper: "My grandson... he said he went to participate in the Dark Guard selection... but he never came back... so he's gone..."

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching cry erupted from the crowd: "That's my son, Ryota! His name is on the list!"

When reading the passage about "surviving by eating the corpses of his companions," a burly man suddenly threw the kitchen knife in his hand onto the high platform, deeply plunging it into Shimura Danzo's thigh.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips trembled as he looked around, seeing only angry and treacherous eyes.

Even the most loyal members of the secret service laid down their weapons at this moment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice suddenly sounded much older: "I...don't...know these things..."

Despite the pain, Shimura Danzo suddenly grinned and laughed: "Evil Uchiha! This has nothing to do with Sarutobi! Everything I've done is for Konoha!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Mitsunori unleashed a fierce killing intent, forcefully swinging his long sword, which cut through the air with a whistling sound.

Danzo Shimura's head flew high into the air, blood gushing from his neck.

His eyes were filled with disbelief; he was actually... going to die...
