Chapter 833 I, Danzo, Have a Clear Conscience!!

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen intended to cover it up, as Kakashi and his party returned to the village, what happened to Kakashi's team was inevitably spread.

Obviously, such a serious threat to the genius of the clan cannot be made small or small.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen fails to handle this matter, it is likely to cause a serious crisis of trust in the village. After all, even the son of the head of the Uchiha clan, the first family of Konoha, can be easily framed, let alone other ninja clans in the village.

It is precisely because of this that Sarutobi Hiruzen has been busy with this matter in the past few days, and even visited Uchiha Fugaku in person.

Originally, Uchiha Fugaku was very angry about this matter and was determined to make a big fuss about it, but after listening to his son's advice, especially after learning that his son had opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, he changed his mind.

If it was only him and Zhi who knew that Itachi had opened the Mangekyō, then he would definitely continue to make a fuss, at least to gain enough benefits for the family, Itachi, Zhi and the others, but Kakashi also knew that Itachi had opened the Mangekyō.

And with Kakashi's character, he didn't want to see the village fall into chaos. The other party concealed this matter for him, Uchiha, and he had to remember this favor.

However, after this battle, for Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Fugaku was already in a state of determination. He even began to investigate which woman in the clan was close to Kakashi's age, and planned to make Kakashi a member of Uchiha in this way.

... Are you kidding?

You know, more than a month ago, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Izumi were both in the state of not opening their eyes, but after the graduation assessment led by Kakashi, Izumi opened the first magatama and Itachi directly opened the second magatama.

Although this mission was full of risks and crises, after Itachi returned, he jumped from two magatama to Mangekyō.

If he was still a little skeptical before, now he is 100% sure that Kakashi will definitely help them Uchiha open their eyes.

He does not ask Kakashi to let their clan have a few more pairs of Mangekyō, but only hopes to increase the chances of his clan members opening their eyes without side effects, and to have dozens or even hundreds of three magatama...

When the family's strength is really great, even if they Uchiha do not want to be Hokage, those people in the village will ask them to be Hokage.

——Whoever gets Kakashi gets the world!!!

However, although he promised to remain restrained, in the meeting with Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha Fugaku still put forward several conditions as compensation for this incident.

This includes strengthening the security of the Uchiha clan in Konoha Village, thoroughly investigating and severely punishing the mastermind behind the scenes, and ensuring that there will be no similar conspiracies against the Uchiha clan in the future.

Originally, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought that the village would bleed heavily this time, and the Uchiha might even ask to move the clan land back from the edge to the center of the village. As a result, he did not expect to get such an answer. He was stunned for a moment.

"Don't look at me like that. If it weren't for the request of Zhi and Itachi, I would never let it go this time."

Looking away, Uchiha Fugaku snorted.

"They are both the most outstanding geniuses in Uchiha, but geniuses who have not grown up are most likely to be envied and die young. I don't want there to be another similar incident."

"Uchiha Zhi... Don't worry, I promise you."

Recalling the figure of a girl in his mind, he sighed and nodded solemnly.

"I will definitely investigate this matter to the end. As for the mastermind, no matter who he is, he will be punished accordingly."

When he said this, a cold light flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

He deliberately did not go to Danzo these days, hoping that the other party would take the initiative to come to him to confess everything, but the other party did not move, which really annoyed him.

In the past, he could pretend not to see the other party's petty thefts, but this time, the other party undoubtedly touched his bottom line.

——In order to become Hokage, the other party has begun to be crazy.

…………………………………………

After politely sending Uchiha Fugaku away, Sarutobi Hiruzen returned to the Hokage's office and smoked a dry pipe while sending the Anbu to summon Danzo.

In the past few days, he did not do nothing.

In the secret investigation of the Root by the Anbu, there are many shocking things. If you don't check, you won't know. If you check, you will be shocked. If he hadn't made up his mind this time, he would never know that Danzo had hidden so many things from him.

... Perhaps, it's time to give his former friend a good beating.

About half an hour later, Shimura Danzo came to his office with a cane and a bandage on his face.

After clearing out the left and right, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up and looked coldly at his former friend in front of him.

"Don't you think you should give me an explanation about what happened to Kakashi's team?"

Listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's questioning, Shimura Danzo's eyes flashed a little bit of subtle gloom, but on the surface, he remained calm, as if he was not surprised by Sarutobi Hiruzen's questioning.

"Why, Hokage, are you doubting me? I, Shimura Danzo, am devoted to the village, how could I do such a thing?"

Faced with Danzo's reply, Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the pipe in his hand on the table, and his voice sounded low and powerful as tobacco and sparks flew everywhere.

"Danzo, you and I have known each other for many years. I am not completely unaware of your methods. This incident, whether from the thoroughness of the plan or the degree of understanding of the Uchiha clan, it is hard to believe that you have nothing to do with it."

"Hokage, are you blinded by your emotions? Let alone whether I have this motive, just based on a few rumors, it is too hasty to conclude that it was me who did it, isn't it?"

Sneering in his mouth, Danzo looked up at the other party.

"I admit that I did have ulterior motives in arranging Jia into that team, but I am not crazy enough to do such a thing. It is too arrogant to want to punish me based on a few words and a few speculations."

"Speculation? What if I have substantial evidence?"

Looking at Shimura Danzo who was still unrepentant at this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions.

"The Anbu's investigation into the Root has already found something. I have a lot of evidence in my hand to prove that you are indeed involved in this matter. At this point, are you still hiding it from me?"

"If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext for it."

With a cold snort, Shimura Danzo simply closed his eyes.

"Ask yourself, everything I did was for the village. Unless my brain was stuck in the door, I would not make such an irrational arrangement. If you really have evidence, then show it to me."

"...I, Danzo, have a clear conscience!!"
