Writing a Diary in the Shinobi World, and the Kunoichi Are Shocked

Chapter 50: 050 The Danzo That Provoked Public Fury



"Danzo Shimura..."

One of the police force members stepped forward, his eyes wide with fury.

"How dare you commit such an act!"

The Uchiha and Hyuga clans were both renowned in the ninja world for their eye-based kekkei genkai.

Yet, their circumstances were entirely different.

For the Hyuga clan's branch members, marked by the caged bird seal, death on the battlefield would trigger the seal to release chakra, completely destroying the optic nerves of their eyes.

This was their way of protecting their Byakugan and the lives of their branch members.

On the other hand, the Uchiha clan, with their Sharingan, had no such mechanism as the caged bird seal. Yet, across the entire ninja world, the only known person openly transplanted with a Sharingan was Kakashi Hatake.

The reason was simple.

The power of the Uchiha clan far surpassed that of the Hyuga clan.

And their stance was much more uncompromising.

Anyone who transplanted a Sharingan from an Uchiha ninja was deemed a target for elimination by the entire Uchiha clan.

No one was willing to offend the strongest clan in the ninja world for eyes they couldn't even fully control.

So, where did the Sharingan on Danzo's arm come from? The answer was painfully obvious.

Faced with the gaze of a dozen Sharingan, even the insidious and ruthless Danzo, for the first time in his life, felt genuine fear.

"Wait a moment!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi finally arrived at the scene, immediately shouting to stop the confrontation.

He glanced at Danzo's right arm, his face showing a look of helplessness.

To say that Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the Hokage, was completely unaware of Root's secret hunting of Uchiha ninjas over the years would be to greatly underestimate him.

But on one hand, the village needed the power of Root to handle matters that couldn't see the light of day.

On the other hand, reducing the Uchiha clan's influence to a certain extent was beneficial for the village's stability.

It was for these reasons that Hiruzen Sarutobi had chosen to turn a blind eye.

But now, that approach was clearly no longer viable.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Night Star directly slashed open the bandages on Danzo's body, revealing the dark secrets hidden in his right arm to all.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face grew heavy, and he let out a long sigh.

Seeing his expression, Night Star maintained an impassive face but silently noted it in his mind.

[As I thought.]

[Once Danzo's transplantation of the Sharingan is exposed, Hiruzen Sarutobi will not choose to protect him.]

[The fundamental positions of these two people are entirely different.]

[Danzo thrives on internal chaos within Konoha, which would make it easier for him to seize the Hokage position in the future.]

[In contrast, Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the current Hokage, prioritizes maintaining the village's stability to safeguard his power.]

[If he defends Danzo now, he'll be courting disaster.]

[My task is to make this fire burn even brighter.]

After noting this internally, Night Star placed his longsword against Danzo's neck, looked toward Hiruzen Sarutobi, and said calmly:

"Hokage-sama, Elder Danzo seizing and hoarding the Sharingan of our Uchiha clan is an unforgivable crime."

Without giving Hiruzen Sarutobi any chance to respond, Night Star shifted his gaze to the surrounding crowd and spoke slowly:

"So tell me, today it's the Sharingan of our Uchiha clan. Tomorrow, will it be the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan?"

"And the day after? The secret techniques of the Yamanaka, Nara, Aburame, Inuzuka, and Akimichi clans?"

"Or even your personal wealth?"

This statement from Night Star instantly turned the villagers and ninjas, who had been watching from the sidelines, into Danzo's opposition.

He was entirely correct.

The Sharingan, as a kekkei genkai, was the foundation of a ninja's identity.

If Danzo would go to such lengths for the Sharingan's power, committing unspeakable acts in secret, what about the other kekkei genkai clans and noble families practicing secret techniques within the village?

If they stood by now, today's Uchiha might become their own fate in the future.

Shikaku Nara, Choza Akimichi, and Inoichi Yamanaka, the heads of the Ino–Shika–Cho trio, all had visibly heavier expressions after hearing Night Star is words.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, who might have been inclined to protect Danzo, found himself at a loss for words.

After all, he wasn't just the Third Hokage of Konoha; he was also the leader of the Sarutobi clan, another noble family directly named by Night Star.

At this moment, Fugaku Uchiha walked up to Night Star, tugged at his sleeve, and said in a low voice:

"Let it go. Escalating this will bring no benefit to us."

Upon hearing this, the police force members frowned without waiting for Night Star is response.

"Clan leader, they've already stepped all over us, and you want to let it go?"

"How can we let it go? Today, we must force this old man to explain the origin of these Sharingan!"

...

Seeing that Fugaku still wanted to intervene, Night Star smiled and uttered a shocking statement:

"Clan leader, could it be that you have some unspeakable connection with this old dog?"
