Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Izanagi, The Honesty Pill And The 100% Slingshot
The Uchiha clan, witnessing what Sako had done, couldn't help but feel secretly relieved.
They had fully accepted her as the second youngest—well, the second daughter of the Uchiha family!
As the saying goes, "Without comparison, there is no harm."
Compared to Itachi, Sako was not only more talented but also more beloved by the Uchiha clan.
"I will not allow anyone to harm my people."
That line sounded so familiar!
"Mangekyō Sharingan? Another Uchiha Itachi? I should never have left you alive!"
Danzo's body was engulfed in Amaterasu flames, yet his expression remained surprisingly calm. He stared at Sako with fear in his left eye and bitterly spoke, his tone laced with regret.
"Danzo, you bastard!"
Hearing Danzo's words, Fugaku's joy from reconnecting with his lost family turned into an overwhelming fury. His scarlet Sharingan activated, and he shouted loudly.
But Danzo smiled coldly, his figure slowly fading into an illusion, vanishing beneath the flames of Amaterasu.
It didn't seem like he was actually being burned by Amaterasu!
"What?"
"Impossible…"
"That's…!"
Fugaku and some of the Uchiha elites exclaimed in shock, recognizing what had happened.
The next moment, Danzo's figure reappeared, materializing in front of everyone again, only this time, he was standing beside Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Izanagi!" Fugaku shouted. "Danzo, how do you know Uchiha's forbidden technique?"
"Izanagi?" Both Orochimaru and Sako exchanged puzzled glances, their curiosity piqued. They were both stunned to see Danzo alive and unharmed, suspecting what might be happening.
"Izanagi is the ultimate forbidden technique of the Uchiha clan," Fugaku explained, glaring at Danzo with murderous intent. "It's a perfect pupil technique. It allows the user to turn all unfavorable factors—including death or injury—into a dream for a short period of time. It can also turn the favorable actions of the attacker into reality. It's a terrifying technique that lets the user manipulate the boundary between reality and illusion, making them nearly invincible."
Sako's eyes widened in surprise. "What? Such a technique exists?"
She frowned, her pretty face filled with concern. "But if such a technique exists, how could Uchiha have been exterminated? Is there a cost to using it?"
"That's right!" Fugaku nodded gravely. "Such power comes at a terrible price. The eye that uses Izanagi will permanently lose its light and can never be opened again. That's why it's listed as a forbidden technique by the Uchiha clan. Danzo, I'm curious to know why you, not an Uchiha, are using Izanagi. If I'm not mistaken, the eye you hide under the bandage should be one of my Uchiha Sharingan!"
Fugaku's gaze was locked on Danzo's right eye, his suspicion growing.
"Danzo, is what Fugaku said true?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked in disbelief as he turned to look at his old friend.
In his understanding, Danzo's right eye should have been blind.
"Sarutobi, now is not the time for such questions," Danzo responded sharply, looking sideways at Fugaku and Orochimaru. He quickly changed the subject. "Our priority should be to deal with Orochimaru and the Uchiha."
Sarutobi paused, clearly realizing the gravity of the situation.
"Master Third Hokage…"
Fugaku took advantage of the moment and asked loudly, "Do you think Konoha can still hold us Uchiha back? It was this way before, and it's still this way now!"
This statement was meant to make Sako fully understand the situation—the true attitude of Konoha's leadership toward the Uchiha clan.
It was also a tactic to stall for time.
In Fugaku's mind, Izanagi had a time limit. If they could delay for a few minutes, Danzo's Izanagi would be useless!
Meanwhile, in the distance, inside Kurama (the Nine-Tails), Naruto was communicating with Shukaku (the One-Tail) in a friendly manner.
Naruto, watching the entire scene unfold through the sight-seeing phantom device, smirked.
"The time has finally come."
He looked at Doraemon, who was enjoying a meal beside him.
"Doraemon, give me the honesty pill and the 100% slingshot."
Naruto glanced at Danzo and Sarutobi, excitement in his eyes.
In front of Doraemon, there was a pile of delicious dorayaki.
"Okay, alright.
Gudoo...
Honesty pill, time limit: 12 hours, 500 crash points.
...
100% slingshot, time limit: one day, 500 collapse points."
While eating, Doraemon pulled out two items and handed them to Naruto.
12 hours? That's more than enough!
Naruto grinned, peeking at the real-time video feed from the Chūnin Exam venue. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he took the slingshot and joked.
"Let's do this."
Naruto loaded the honesty pill as ammunition, placed it on the 100% slingshot, aimed at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was about to speak, and fired directly.
Chūnin Exam venue
Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to speak, trying to calm Fugaku down, when suddenly, he felt something in his mouth. It quickly melted.
Before he could react, his words were completely changed as they came out.
"How could Konoha not tolerate the Uchiha?
As long as the Uchiha obey, they will always be Konoha's Uchiha."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's words stunned everyone present.
"What's going on here?"
Fugaku was also a little stunned by Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.
Is he treating the Uchiha like dogs?
Sarutobi Hiruzen himself looked confused. Why did he say what was in his heart?
Indeed, that was what he thought. As long as the Uchiha obeyed Konoha's commands, he would tolerate everything about them.
"Sarutobi, the Uchiha cannot stay!
They are the source of evil…"
Danzo didn't show Sarutobi any respect and spoke directly.
Under the gauze wrapped around Danzo's right eye, the light of the Distinguished Heavenly Gods flickered.
It was Naruto's fault that he was so rigid now. Otherwise, Danzo's character would have never allowed him to be so inflexible.
"Now this is getting interesting!
Then, you should join the fun too..."
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, his snake-like pupils flashing with excitement. He formed a hand sign, releasing the consciousness of the First and Second Hokage.
The pupils of the First and Second Hokage glowed at the same time, and they regained their consciousness.
However, their bodies remained immobile, controlled by Orochimaru.
"Sarutobi, Danzo, Uchiha?
What's going on now?" the First and Second Hokage wondered in unison, observing the tense situation.
"Danzo, you're wrong!
Uchiha has people who yearn for peace too.
People like Kagami, Shisui, Itachi, and Fugaku.
As long as we control it well, the Uchiha can be Konoha's sharpest weapon."
Sarutobi Hiruzen once again clarified his views and policies.
These words shocked everyone present!
It was the first time they had ever heard such words so openly from the Third Hokage.
"Good control?
Have you forgotten what the teacher said?
The Uchiha are a family of evil.
The Sharingan is a tool that amplifies their emotions.
As long as the Uchiha exist, Konoha will never know peace."
Danzo glared at Sarutobi Hiruzen, unwilling to be outdone, and shared his thoughts.
The Second Hokage, who had just regained consciousness, instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot!
These two were his carefully trained disciples?
"Tobirama, I told you before.
You're too biased against the Uchiha!
Look at Monkey and Xiaozang, what kind of teaching did you give them!!!"
The First Hokage turned to look at his younger brother, Tobirama. The aura around him became tangible as he reprimanded him sternly.
Tobirama...
"You… what do you think of me, Uchiha?
Didn't the Uchiha help build Konoha?
And now, coincidentally, both the First and Second Hokage are here.
Let me ask you both!
In your eyes, are the Uchiha just tools to be used?
Is the Will of Fire just a lie to deceive the public and the Uchiha?"
Seeing that something was off with the Third Hokage and Danzo today, Fugaku immediately seized the opportunity to question them.
At the same time, he signaled his subordinates to descend and break the illusion in the auditorium.
He was determined to ruin the Hokage family!
