Chapter 37 The End of Danzo
Chapter 37 The End of Danzo
The Konoha ninjas who returned from the front, the ninjas oppressed by him, Orochimaru, the Uchiha clan...
Danzo had never taken them seriously in the past. Even Orochimaru, whose prestige was about to surpass that of the Third Hokage, was just a junior who could be used in his eyes.
With just a little bit of strategy, Orochimaru could be brought to ruin, or even die at the hands of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
But what Danzo never expected was that Orochimaru would actually take the initiative to step forward and connect these three unrelated people together.
[Fubuki: It looks like... Orochimaru won? ]
[Grayhara Ai: As expected.]
[Kobayashi: Ninjas are awesome! Did you see that? The pineapple-headed ninja poked a needle into the bandaged man's shadow and froze him!]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Oh my god, how did Orochimaru do it? Ino-Shika-cho, Aburame, Uchiha... were all convinced by him? ]
[Borsalino: Well, it was a very interesting coup. On the surface, the target was the one-eyed bandaged man, but in fact, it was aimed at the Hokage.]
[Kobayashi: What? A coup? Are you kidding, Borsalino-san?]
[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng's thigh: Damn, is Orochimaru going to take this opportunity to overthrow the Third Hokage and become the Hokage himself? ]
In the live broadcast, Danzo's diehard followers faced dozens of Uchiha clan members who had activated three magatama, but they were all under control in just a few minutes.
Unless there is a big gap in strength.
Otherwise, it would not be easy to defeat the Uchiha clan's ninjas in a one-on-one battle, not to mention that Danzo's diehard followers are not as many in number as the Uchiha clan's.
Danzo, who tried to resist, was soon captured. The angry ninjas almost beat him to death. On the contrary, the Uchiha clan, who were the most easily emotional, were relatively restrained.
"Shimura Danzo, as the leader of the Root, attacked and killed fellow ninjas, assassinated the Hokage, and coerced fellow ninjas to join the Root..."
In front of countless ninjas and villagers, Orochimaru began to announce Danzo's crimes, and each item he mentioned drew exclamations and curses.
Especially those ninjas who were forced by Danzo to join the Root came forward to tell their stories, showing everyone the curse marks on the roots of their tongues, completely nailing Danzo to the pillar of shame for harming ninjas from his fellow village.
From beginning to end, the Third Hokage could only stand aside with a grim expression.
To repeat, if it happened in private, no matter what crimes Danzo committed, as long as he, the Hokage, did not nod his head, no matter who came, no one could do anything to Danzo.
But the bad thing about Orochimaru is that he made all this public!
Moreover, when the Konoha ninjas returned triumphantly and were in high spirits, they learned that such a cancer was hidden in the village.
The ninjas who had just retreated from the battlefield would not care about Danzo's identity. If the village could not give them a satisfactory answer, these people would definitely not mind taking action themselves to seek justice.
"Sandaime, we can't let Orochimaru continue talking, otherwise Danzo will no longer be able to live as a human being!"
Konoha's advisor Utane Koharu came behind the Third Hokage and spoke worriedly.
"Danzo certainly made a lot of mistakes, but he also made even more contributions, and that bastard Orochimaru never said a word about it!"
Mitokado En, who was also a consultant of Konoha, was very angry. What he hated was not Danzo who committed numerous crimes, but Orochimaru who had coerced everyone to try Danzo.
Even if Danzo deserves to die, it is not something a junior like him can decide. Now that Orochimaru can judge Danzo, can he also judge other advisory elders in the future?
"Orochimaru……"
The third Hokage was in a complicated mood. He was angry that Danzo had committed so many heinous crimes behind his back, and he was also annoyed that Orochimaru had taken the initiative to publicly try Danzo without asking him. But as a Hokage, he could not do anything at this moment. Even if he wanted to join the trial, he would be questioned why he did not stop Danzo before.
[Xiao Lin: Hey, hey, hey! Look at the corner, those bad old guys are whispering to each other, are they planning something?]
[Graybara Ai: Humph, it seems that the so-called high-ranking officials of Konoha Village are not that clean. They have probably done a lot of things that Danzo did, otherwise they wouldn't be so panicked.]
[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng's thighs: Isn't that Orochimaru very dangerous? The current Orochimaru may not be able to defeat the third generation! ]
[Fubuki: Really, you're so old, why don't you just retire? ]
[Borsalino: Wait, why should I retire when I’m older? I… ahem, I mean if he’s healthy, he can continue to shine in his position.]
[Kobayashi: Speaking of which, Borsalino-san seems to be an admiral of the navy. He should be quite old~]
[Grayhara Ai: So the person we usually chat with is actually an old man in his sixties or seventies? ]
[Fubuki: That's a really bad guy...]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng’s thigh: Not really... Mr. Kizaru should be considered a middle-aged man, right? ]
[Borsalino: ...Wait, why are you suddenly coming to me? And what do you mean by middle-aged? I am the famous undefeated admiral of the navy! ]
[Grayhara Ai: Middle-aged man? A middle-aged man like Maori Kogoro? ]
After saying that, Haibara Ai uploaded two pictures, one of which was of Kogoro Mouri, who was drunk and was mistaken for a pervert when he was chatting up a beautiful woman, with a slap mark on his face.
The person who took these two photos must be very short and have a grudge against Kogoro Mouri. He managed to perfectly display the greasy and vulgarity unique to middle-aged people like Kogoro Mouri.
[Fubuki: It looks so disgusting...]
[Kobayashi: Well, he looks a lot like our section chief~]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Ah, this... Although they look completely different, they do have similarities in a certain sense...]
[Borsalino: Slander! This is blatant slander! How could I be so ugly!]
In an effort to save his image, Borsalino quickly climbed up from the oversized sofa and picked up the clothes that had been thrown on the carpet and put them on.
"Video-Dial-Mushi...Video-Dial-Mushi...I remember putting it in the drawer..."
Borsalino opened a drawer that had not been used for who knows how long and searched for the things that had been placed in it before.
"Um...what are you looking for?"
Nami, awakened by Borsalino's noise, sat up dazedly, wearing only an oversized Justice windbreaker. Her beautiful body full of youthful charm was clearly visible from Borsalino's perspective.
Borsalino, who hadn't eaten enough yet, almost couldn't help but pounce on him when he saw this scene.
The hungry wolf-like gaze frightened Nami so much that she quickly tightened her windbreaker, as if the windbreaker could protect her.
