This Danzo Is Weird!

Amidst Ao's terrified gaze, Danzo's palm, like a dreadful shadow, plunged straight into his eye.

With a scream of agony, a pale eyeball was forcibly gouged out.

Blood streamed continuously from Ao's eye as he writhed on the ground in excruciating pain.

Behind him, Terumi Mei's eyes were wide with fury, but her chakra had been sealed, her limbs bound, and her mouth gagged—rendering her completely helpless.

At this moment, this proud woman finally understood what true despair felt like!

It wasn't just her—both Minato and Fugaku felt a twitch in their eyelids.

Though they had anticipated that Danzo would reclaim the Byakugan from Ao, they hadn't expected such a violent and direct method…

As expected, this brutal act immediately stirred unrest among the Konoha shinobi.

Danzo, in his hoarse yet authoritative voice, declared sternly:

"During the previous battle, Kirigakure stole the Byakugan from the Hyuga Clan and took the lives of our comrades!"

"Now, I have brought this Byakugan back!"

"I want to send a message—to them, to the entire shinobi world: Whoever dares to lay a hand on Konoha must pay the price!"

"A heavy price!"

"Those who offend Konoha shall be eradicated, no matter how far they are!"

Danzo's words echoed throughout the entire harbor, igniting the Will of Fire in every Konoha shinobi present!

Under his leadership, their pride as the strongest shinobi village erupted in full force!

"Lord Danzo is mighty!"

"Those who offend Konoha shall be eradicated!"

"Those who offend Konoha shall be eradicated!!!"

The thunderous war cries roared like a storm, causing the two Kirigakure shinobi nearby to turn pale.

Danzo simply stood there, yet at this moment, he seemed like an insurmountable mountain.

At the same time, a system notification rang in his ears.

In just a short moment, he had already harvested 500 skill points.

It had to be said—rousing speeches were indeed an excellent tool for farming skill points.

If even ordinary shinobi were this riled up, the Hyuga Clan members present were even more emotional.

After all, the Hyuga had always regarded this stolen Byakugan as a stain on their clan's honor.

Now that Danzo had avenged them, no amount of gratitude would be enough.

Several Hyuga members immediately dropped to their knees, bowing deeply before Danzo.

If not for the presence of the Third Hokage, they might have already draped him in a yellow robe, ready to declare him their leader.

Tears welled in Hyuga Hizashi's eyes as he solemnly accepted the long-lost Byakugan from Danzo's hands.

"Thank you, Lord Danzo!"

As Hizashi's heartfelt gratitude resonated, another notification chimed in Danzo's mind.

"Detected Hyuga Hizashi's deep gratitude. Skill Points +1."

"Extracting skill package..."

"Congratulations! You have obtained Skill Package: [Byakugan (A)] ×1."

"The host may freely choose where to implant the Byakugan (it cannot overlap with existing eyes)."

Danzo did not immediately decide on the Byakugan's placement. Instead, he first helped Hizashi to his feet.

Then, considerately, he called for medical-nin to properly preserve the eyeball as swiftly as possible.

Only after ensuring everything was in order, amidst the deafening cheers of the Konoha shinobi, did he slowly return to his command tent, where he oversaw the war efforts.

Although Kirigakure Has Surrendered, Konoha's War Is Far from Over

As the commander, Danzo still had numerous matters to handle.

How many troops should remain on the southern front to guard against a possible Kirigakure resurgence and oversee the prisoners?

How many should be sent to reinforce the western front?

How should he strategically deploy his forces and assign key roles to powerful fighters like Minato and Fugaku?

How should he distribute battle contributions among the clan shinobi to ensure they receive proper rewards?

Especially the last point—this wasn't something that could be settled with a few simple words.

These clan shinobi were willing to fight and even lay down their lives for the village, but in return, the village had to ensure they were adequately compensated and honored for their sacrifices.

Soon, Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Fugaku, Hyuga Hizashi, and several other clan representatives gathered in Danzo's command tent once again.

"With the southern front secured and our forces well-equipped, our next strategic target will be Sunagakure on the western front."

Danzo made his stance clear right away.

Not only had he forced Kirigakure into surrender, but he was also determined to strike at Sunagakure, eliminating two major threats in one go!

Hearing this, the gathered shinobi became visibly excited.

As warriors, what did they desire the most?

It was the chance to achieve military merit, gain wealth, grow stronger, and rise to the pinnacle of life!

Why had they previously been hesitant, afraid of battle, and lacking morale?

Because of poor leadership.

The saying "A foolish general dooms an entire army" wasn't just empty words.

A prime example was Mitokado Homura.

Under his command, Konoha's forces suffered repeated defeats, retreating over a hundred kilometers, nearly ceding the entire southern region of the Land of Fire.

With such a disastrous track record, how could anyone expect the shinobi to maintain morale?

Imagine if the Hokage suddenly replaced Danzo with Mitokado Homura again—would these shinobi still be eager for war?

They'd probably rush to petition the Hokage, claiming they were too exhausted to fight and needed to return to the village for "recovery."

At the end of the day, they didn't love war.

They loved winning wars under Danzo's leadership!

War meant death, but victory meant profit.

Especially after witnessing the massive merits earned by the Hyuga and Uchiha Clans, the other clans couldn't help but feel tempted.

They wanted to follow Danzo to the western front and claim their own share of glory.

Seeing the eagerness in their eyes, Danzo's gaze gleamed with satisfaction.

"Additionally, I have signed a treaty with Kirigakure. They have agreed to join us in attacking Sunagakure, trading the heads of Suna shinobi for their captured prisoners."

With that, Danzo casually tossed the contract onto the table.

That seemingly weightless piece of paper felt as heavy as a mountain in the eyes of the gathered shinobi.

Minato and Fugaku, already aware of the deal's terms, didn't need to read it again.

The others, however, scrambled to analyze the agreement.

Eventually, they all came to the same conclusion—

Victory was assured!

Danzo had completely outmaneuvered his opponents!

Kirigakure would have to fight desperately to recover their prisoners, significantly reducing the pressure on Konoha.

This meant that participating in this battle wasn't just a sure win—it also ensured that losses could be kept within an acceptable range.

More importantly, if the counteroffensive succeeded, they might even invade the Land of Wind's interior, securing even greater rewards and prestige!

This was an unprecedented opportunity!

Before Danzo could even ask for volunteers, the high-ranking clan representatives immediately stood up and declared in unison:

"We are ready to follow Lord Danzo's command!"
