Inside the camp.
The ninjas of Konoha were dumbfounded.
Their vice commander, who normally didn't care about anything, suddenly showed the commander's wounded body, directly stating: "I left him in a coma. From now on, I will be the commander. Who agrees and who opposes..."
This was too audacious! Many people instinctively wanted to say something, to rebuke this act of rebellion.
But.....
"That's the Sharingan, right?"
"It is indeed the Sharingan."
"There are so many, and they are all three-tomoe Sharingan. Where did Danzo find so many eyes?"
"Have you forgotten about the Uchiha clan massacre..."
"It seems like you're the one who forgot. I remember that after the Uchiha clan massacre, none of their bodies were buried.
They were all directly incinerated. At that time, there were still many people who regretted it because they wanted to investigate the bodies with secret techniques."
"It's a pity that they were incinerated directly. It would have been great if we could use them as materials."
"I didn't forget. You're just too foolish. It's because they were incinerated that there are so many eyes appearing on Danzo..."
That's right! It's because the bodies of the Uchiha clan were incinerated that there are so many eyes appearing on Danzo. Complete incineration makes it easier for Raiz ninjas to steal the eyes.
"But I remember that the incineration of the bodies was arranged by the Third Hokage and entrusted to the ANBU." A Jonin subconsciously said. But after he finished speaking, he suddenly realized it himself. The Third Hokage probably knew about this! In other words, it was a collaboration between the Third Hokage and Danzo?
Several members of the ninja clans around him had angry expressions. Even some civilian ninjas had a trace of anger on their faces.
The ninjas of his own village were killed by a traitor ninja, and it was later claimed that their bodies were cremated, but in reality, were they taken by the village leader to obtain research materials?
Who could tolerate this! Although their strength was weak and they didn't have any kekkei genkai, they generally wouldn't encounter such a situation. But they were still ninjas of Konoha!
If Danzo could do such things to the Uchiha clan, one of the two major clans in Konoha, then what he could do to them would be even more excessive!
"It's not just the Sharingan of our Uchiha clan. Take a closer look at Danzo's shoulder." Natsuo coldly reminded from the side.
Shoulder? Everyone was stunned and looked over. There was a pale face, eyes tightly closed, and the nose and mouth only had a few outlines, as if it were a face filled with plastic, very strange. But it's strange, this face seems somewhat familiar... Wait!
"First Hokage!" The older generation of ninjas reacted and exclaimed: "It's the face of the First Hokage!"
The crowd instantly exploded.
"Yes, it is definitely the face of the First Hokage."
"Yes, it really does look like the face on Hokage Rock."
"But why does Danzo's shoulder have the appearance of the First Hokage?"
"Could it be..."
The people trembled and immediately noticed the Sharingan embedded in the arm, which led them to a certain realization. Danzo, he transplanted the cells of the First Hokage into his own body!
Well, many ninjas actually didn't know how terrifying the cells of the First Hokage were in terms of erosion. Just a few cells could spontaneously form the face of the First Hokage.
Subconsciously, they thought that Danzo had dug out the face of the First Hokage and pressed it onto his own arm!
They were instantly filled with anger and shouted enraged.
"Danzo, how dare he treat the great First Hokage like this!"
That's the First Hokage! Although the expression 'The First Hokage is indecisive, Uchiha Madara is decisive' has been circulating recently and has somewhat reduced the prestige of the First Hokage; and increased the impression of Uchiha Madara. But, no matter what, he is the founder of Konoha, who gathered countless shinobi!
The First Hokage still holds unparalleled prestige in the hearts of the Konoha shinobi. And now...
Danzo actually laid his hands on the head of the First Hokage? How could he do such a thing?! He's so audacious!
"How could his audacity not be great? Do you still remember what happened at the Root's laboratory a year ago? There were plenty of materials there as well." Someone coldly spoke, revealing the events that were sealed by the Third Hokage.
"He dares to attack Konoha's top ninja clans. Why wouldn't he dare to bully the declining Senju and Uchiha?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd fell silent. But in the eyes of each person, flames of anger flickered.
On the other hand, Shikaku reflected for a moment and looked at Natsuo curiously. "Vice Commander, are you saying that Danzo, along with Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fu, the two Elite Jonin from Root, attacked you?"
"May I ask how you managed to kill them?"
"It's simple." Natsuo's answer was straightforward. "Just with my own eyes."
Only at this moment did all the ninjas present notice Natsuo's pupils that were different from the Sharingan.
"I will personally return to Konoha and inform the Hokage about Danzo's matter." Natsuo's voice was calm, his gaze focused. "And now, all of you will follow my orders. Are there any objections?"
His voice turned cold, the chilling power of the Mangekyo Sharingan was completely released, making it difficult for everyone to breathe, even just by looking at it, they could feel an incomparable pressure.
This cold and arrogant appearance is completely different from his previous appearance.
"Are you finally going to stop hiding your strength..." Ameyuri, who had been living quietly in the camp, her belly growing bigger and bigger, sighed softly, feeling a thousand emotions. She has been married to Natsuo for so long and has been familiar with Natsuo's strength from the beginning.
And now, Natsuo is finally no longer hiding. He recklessly unleashes his eye power without any concern, and the chilling aura makes all the ninjas feel like they've entered hell, unable to help but tremble.
"We have no objections." Shikaku is the first to speak: "According to the system, it should be Natsuo-sama who takes over the camp."
"That's right, I'm willing to follow Natsuo-sama's orders!"
"Danzo is already dead, someone must take control of the military power to stop Kirigakure's attack, I also support it!"
Everyone speaks up one after another, although it's chaotic, no one rashly opposes.
The most formidable weapon of a ninja is strength. When it's difficult for you to even speak under the opponent's pressure, no matter what the opponent says, it's best to obediently listen.
"Very well." Natsuo smiles slightly, and the pressure on everyone suddenly dissipates: "Then I will first arrange the defense, and then go back to Konoha to solve the problem with Danzo."
After these words are spoken, everyone looks at each other, hesitating.
"Do you really have to go back to Konoha first, Natsuo-sama?" Nara Shikaku's mouth twitches, and in the end, he can't help but speak: "With Danzo's death, we also have some concerns. Is it appropriate for Natsuo-sama to leave his position and go back to Konoha?"
It's not just inappropriate, it's extremely inappropriate! Where can you find someone who becomes the leader, takes on dangerous missions, and then just returns to the village like nothing happened? We are currently at war with Kirigakure!
Although it's not a full-scale battle, we have small skirmishes every three days and major battles every five days. What do we do without a leader?
"It's okay, I'm just going to report to the Fifth Hokage and I'll be back soon." Natsuo smiled faintly. "And if you really encounter enemy attacks, it's okay. Just retreat and give up some territory."
"Anyway, when I come back, I will reclaim everything from Kirigakure..."
Everyone wanted to argue, but they didn't know how to speak up.
Natsuo ignored them and went straight into his room. His wives had already started packing.
Ameyuri silently walked over.
"Did anything happen at the campsite?" Natsuo asked without turning his head.
"No." Ameyuri calmly replied. "Danzo only targeted you. It seems he didn't pay attention to me."
"After all, he doesn't know you." Natsuo shook his head and chuckled. "Your reputation isn't that great. He has seen you with his own eyes."
Hearing this, Ameyuri became quite angry.
Natsuo smiled slightly. In reality, he had made sure that Danzo didn't recognize her before bringing her to the battlefield. Otherwise, even if she stubbornly followed him, Natsuo would not have allowed her to come. After all, she was pregnant, and just traveling long distances is already a risk, even more so if Danzo knew who she was.
"But why do you insist on going to Konoha?" Ameyuri curiously asked. "Even someone like me, who doesn't have much power, can see that a newly appointed leader should not leave their troops and return to the village."
"Aren't you worried about losing your leadership?"
Natsuo smiled. "If Tsunade hadn't specifically asked me to support the battlefield against Kirigakure, I wouldn't bother coming with leadership or without leadership."
"Sometimes power is much more important than authority."
Ameyuri agreed with this. She was also the type of person who didn't care much about authority in Kirigakure. Although she had some subordinates, they were there to assist her with troublesome matters. She only wanted to rely on her own sword to control her own destiny.
After thinking for a moment, Ameyuri asked: "But you don't have to return to the village, do you?"
"Do you have a special purpose?"
"Yes." Natsuo smiled slightly, nodded, and looked towards the direction of Konoha.
"You know, for Danzo to successfully transplant the Sharingan along with the First Hokage's cells required enormous funding, many experimental materials, equipment and test subjects. And it is impossible that he did it alone, it is most likely that the Hokage's other advisors supported him."
"So once the news of what Danzo has done is sent back to Konoha, what do you think all the people involved will do?"
Ameyuri responded: "They'll probably try to eliminate anything that links them to Danzo."
"Yes, they will try to do that. But now that Tsunade has regained most of Konoha's power, she won't allow them to do that. Plus this also involves the Senju clan, so it will be much more ruthless."
"That's why this time I'm coming back to warn those old guys that they better hide in their burrows and not provoke me or they'll end up like Danzo."
Natsuo's goal was simple. First he was returning to Konoha to leave the children who were born to the Snake Princess, and second he was to control the consequences that may occur after Danzo's death.
