NOVEL NEXT Chapter 23
Before the Hokage could speak, the advisor standing behind him, Mito Kado En, spoke first and said coldly;
"Since you have no evidence that you have ever been controlled by an illusion, how can we believe what you say?"
Itachi said with a gloomy look on his face;
"I can continue to be monitored by you, but please give me a chance to reveal important information."
But Utane Koharu snorted and said;
"Don't you understand? Itachi, for us, there are only two choices: believe you or not believe you and anything you say."
"Because if you tell even a little lie to most of the true information, it will lead to disastrous consequences in our judgment."
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say anything. He knew that what Utatane Koharu said was indeed the truth, but he tried his best to make himself believe Uchiha Itachi.
The old man's turbid eyes stared at the young man whose hands were tied to the back of the chair. Under his deliberate order just now, the Anbu's supervision of him was only at the formal level. If Itachi wanted, he could get away at any time and fight his way out.
But the young man did not choose to do so, but conveyed the information to him.
The figure of Danzo appeared in his mind for no reason. What would the man who used to be his advisor say if he was present?
Yes, if it was according to the temperament of that old friend, he would definitely persuade him;
"What if these seemingly docile actions before were also part of tonight's conspiracy?"
The person who always thinks the worst of people's hearts will definitely say this.
Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly wanted to meet his opponent and old friend. For some reason, the other party's appearance and tone that he usually didn't like in his memory brought a trace of nostalgia like a time filter in the heart of the third generation.
But no matter how familiar he was with that man, he was not Shimura Danzo after all, and he was unwilling to think of human nature in the worst direction like Danzo.
"I understand."
The Third Hokage opened his eyes and looked directly into Itachi's eyes.
"Then please tell us all the information that Itachi-kun knows."
"Hokage!"
The two consultants next to him said hurriedly;
"Be careful, he is trying to mislead your judgment by hiding lies in the truth..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his right hand to stop him from speaking.
He only said a few words to silence the two advisors.
"Itachi, I choose to believe you."
Uchiha Itachi lowered his originally stern face, like a child who had done something bad to his parents, and did not dare to raise his head to see his elders.
Seeing his expression, the experienced 3rd Hokage believed Itachi a little more in his heart. If Uchiha Itachi had looked at him directly in the eyes with a clear conscience just now, he would have had some doubts.
The gloomy young man spoke with difficulty;
"yes...Uchiha Haruno, she was also deeply involved in this coup tonight. I originally wanted to inform the Hokage of the news that the Uchiha clan was about to launch a coup in advance, but on the way here, I was chased by Uchiha Haruno."
"I wanted to deal with her first, but failed. I was caught in her illusion."
"You? Uchiha Itachi, you were caught in her illusion? How is that possible? Aren't you the first young genius of the Uchiha clan?"
The two consultants said angrily.
"she...Awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan."
In this changed time and space, because he did not have the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Itachi did not, as in history, contact Uchiha Obito only after receiving the order to wipe out the Uchiha clan, and the two of them launched the action. The Uchiha Itachi of this time and space must pass on the information, he alone is unable to stop the progress of the entire Uchiha clan.
Only a low exclamation was heard from the room, and the one who exposed the shock was not the frowning Third Hokage, nor the two advisors with gloomy faces, but the member of the Hyuga clan Anbu who was still waiting for the Hokage's order in the room.
He was in his heart He couldn't believe what he heard.
You know, Uchiha Haruno was most famous for the speed at which she awakened the Three Magatama Sharingan.
She was not like Itachi in the original work. Although they were both confirmed to have the Mangekyō Sharingan at a similar age, Itachi was, after all, a super genius who had been fighting on the battlefield since he was a few years old, among the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Haruno's genius was only reflected in the age when she opened the Three Magatama Sharingan, and she had no clear record of battle to the outside world.
At this time, the hearts of the Third Hokage and his two advisors were not as calm as they appeared. Instead, they also set off a storm.
"Two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan, is this the confidence of the Uchiha clan's coup?"
Utatane Koharu murmured
"Not good!"
She seemed to have suddenly realized something.
"So Shimura Danzo is in danger!"
Just now, someone had conveyed the news that Nara Shikaku had asked the Shiranui Genma trio and a Root member in the war room to intercept Uchiha Haruno who was chasing Shimura Danzo.
When they saw it just now, they thought that either Shimura Danzo was seriously injured in the previous battle, or the girl from the Uchiha clan had no practical experience and was a little too arrogant, so they even blamed Shikaku.
Uh, yes, you read it right, blame, will these two consultants die if they don't disgust the ninjas in the village all day long?
They blamed Nara Shikaku for investing too luxurious three special jonin and a Root member to intercept the girl. It would be great if they invested such a force in the front battlefield which was obviously more threatening. However
, in the blink of an eye, they heard this news, whether it was true or false, it made their hearts beat wildly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen reacted one step faster than them. He immediately turned around and shouted to his direct Anbu
"Go, tell Nara Shikaku this news immediately!"
A cold sweat slid down his forehead covered with age spots. He warned himself in his heart that this was impossible, and even hoped that he would subjectively doubt Uchiha Itachi's loyalty.
According to the legend of that clan, doesn't it say that one must witness the death of the person you love most in order to gain the cursed power under the stimulation of great pain?
But the eldest lady of the Uchiha family has never heard of her losing any relatives since she was born, and she has never even been on the battlefield. How could she awaken such a power?
The ominous feeling in his heart became more and more difficult to suppress, and Sarutobi Hiruzen began to doubt his intuition.
