The "Kotoamatsukami" that had been planted beforehand was activated.
Danzo slightly raised his head and finally spoke, his face as cold as ice as he looked down at the bald man:
Do I need to explain my actions to you?
The bald man sneered, coaxing, "So, you're admitting it?"
"What difference does it make whether you admit it or not?"
Danzo's face was grim, and he said indifferently:
"A natural disaster, a war, how many innocent people will die? Have you ever hated heaven or earth?"
"I'm just conducting some experiments on a few people, so what?"
Beneath that relaxed tone lay a shockingly cold reality.
After a brief moment of shock, the bald man suddenly erupted, pointing at Danzo and shouting loudly to the surroundings:
Did everyone hear that?!
"He admitted it! He admitted it himself! He used villagers as live subjects for experiments, and he acted like it was perfectly normal!"
In an instant, the crowd's anger was completely ignited.
Previously, there might have been room to refute the accusations made by the Uchiha, but now Danzo himself has confessed!
He is a demon whose hands are stained with the blood of Konoha people!
"Utterly despicable! Such a person should be executed immediately!"
How can you say such things so lightly! So many innocent lives were lost!
"No one noticed all these years; who knows how many people he harmed!"
Shouts of condemnation rose and fell, and the public's emotions reached a fever pitch.
Hiruzen Sarutobi hurriedly dispatched his ANBU to quell the public's anger.
However, with hundreds or even thousands of people gathered at the scene, relying on only a few dozen secret agents would undoubtedly be a drop in the ocean.
Chapter 135 The Gradual Changes
Moreover, these secret agents are also flesh-and-blood people.
Knowing that Danzo had committed such a cruel crime, some of the ANBU were also filled with anger, but they would not join the crowds condemning Danzo.
But that won't stop these people from seeking justice.
Sweating profusely, Hiruzen Sarutobi, seeing the situation spiraling out of control, glared angrily at Danzo.
"Danzo! What nonsense are you spouting?!"
"Now I can't protect you either!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi roared angrily, "What kind of audacity has Danzo had to openly admit these things?"
The fact that this matter has already sparked such strong public outrage within a small circle is unimaginable; it's hard to imagine the shock it will cause if it spreads throughout Konoha tomorrow.
At that time, tens of thousands of ninjas and civilians from Konoha will likely flock to the Hokage Building to demand an explanation.
At this thought, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a chill run down his spine.
He was completely dragged into the mire by Danzo.
However, Danzo remained unmoved, merely glancing indifferently at Hiruzen Sarutobi:
"Hiruzen, what's the panic? They're just a few civilians; their deaths are no big deal."
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened: "You…"
You're still saying things like that!
Hiruzen Sarutobi was utterly shocked, retreating repeatedly as if he were seeing Danzo's true colors for the first time.
If you fucking want to die, don't drag me down with you!
Is this something that can be discussed openly?
"Could it be that he's been affected by an illusion?"
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Hiruzen Sarutobi, and he formed a plan in his mind.
"Illusion solution!"
He slammed his hand on Danzo's back, intending to disrupt the potential chakra manipulation.
However, all efforts seemed to have been in vain. Danzo was not controlled by any illusions; his actions stemmed entirely from his own heart.
"He's gone mad, Danzo has gone insane..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi muttered to himself, but his eyes inadvertently glanced at Itachi Uchiha, and...
Uchiha Shisui's figure!
"Other gods!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened suddenly as memories flooded back.
If illusion control could still be detected...
But the influence of Kotoamatsukami was silent and imperceptible!
Ordinary people simply cannot tell whether someone has been affected by the Kotoamatsukami eye technique!
"Uchiha Itachi..." Hiruzen Sarutobi gritted his teeth, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
They actually used such methods!
Uchiha Itachi simply smiled calmly.
The methods they used were just that—methods. They merely used Kotoamatsukami to make Danzo reveal the truth himself.
There was absolutely no embellishment.
"Brilliant, you've won."
Hiruzen Sarutobi moved his lips silently, his deep gaze lingering on the two of them for a moment.
Things have come to this point, and the overall situation is irreversible.
Looking back on everything that happened tonight, they felt as if they had been drawn step by step into the game by the Uchiha clan.
The interconnected events caught him off guard.
"you flatter me"
Uchiha Itachi bowed slightly, his attitude extremely humble.
However, given his appearance, as if he had emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, this scene conveyed absolutely no sense of humility.
Instead, it evokes a sense of 'no matter what methods you use, I will overcome them with my own strength'.
"retreat!"
At Hiruzen Sarutobi's command, all the Anbu swiftly assembled around him, then resolutely departed without looking back.
Only Danzo was left behind, all alone in the same place.
Danzo is beyond saving. If we forcibly preserve him, we risk dragging him down with him in the public outrage.
Since things have come to this, the only option is to let go.
If Danzo's sacrifice can quell all this, then this death will have meaning.
"Ah, Danzo."
"No one can save you from the sins you've committed."
Hiruzen Sarutobi leaped rapidly between the trees and quickly disappeared into the night sky.
"The Hokage is gone, so can we...?"
In the crowd, someone hesitated before speaking, making a chopping motion with his hand.
"Of course! Even the Hokage has given up on him, so why should we care!"
"Go! Teach him a lesson! That despicable Danzo!"
His words stirred up a huge wave of emotions, and the crowd instantly stopped hesitating and surged toward Danzo like a tide!
Despite the surging crowd, Danzo remained unusually calm, arrogantly surveying his surroundings.
"What do you want? I am an elder of Konoha, all of you step back!"
These words ignited the crowd's anger even further.
"What kind of bullshit elder is this!"
A heavy kick landed on his face, distorting Danzo's features and sending him flying.
The crowd immediately swarmed forward, surrounding Danzo completely.
"Let me stomp on it!"
