Reborn in Naruto As Madara's Grandson

Chapter 118: 116. Politics of the Village Part-2

A/N:- I will post the Hyuga part 3 at a later date. There will be a plot in future where it will fit in perfectly. So, wait for few more days.

---------------------------

Bam...

Hiruzen slams his palm on the table and snaps at Koharu and Homura.

"Is it true, Koharu! Homura?"

"We...we... it's not like what you think, Hiruzen. It is...

Bam...

Hiruzen slaps his palm on the table.

"Just answer my question. Is it true or not?"

Homura sighs and replies.

"Yes, it is true. But Hiruzen we dedicated 50 years of our lives to the village, we can't just..."

Bam...

"No buts. I don't want to hear any excuse from you two. I was a fool to trust both of you. I never expected in all these years... both of you and Danzo played me like a fiddle.

What expression would Sensei show when he learns about this matter? Both of you are a disgrace to Sensei's legacy. His students crushed his dream for a perfect village."

Sigh...

Hiruzen slumps down in his chair.

"Hiruzen, we can explain. It is not like how you think. Give us a chance to explain ourselves."

Koharu tries to protest.

"There is nothing left to explain. You two get out of my sight. I don't want to see your face anymore." Hiruzen waves his hand.

A few Anbu surrounds Koharu and Homura. One of them escort them out of the room,

"Please!"

Koharu and Homura silently walk towards the exit.

"Wait, a sec!"

A loud voice interrupts them.

"Since you have already learned of this matter, there is no harm in knowing more."

Izuna passes another scroll to Hiruzen.

"Hokage-sama, this scroll contains the information of all plots orchestrated by Danzo outside the village. Please have a look at it and decide yourself."

Hiruzen picks up the scroll with shaking hands while Izuna starts to narrate the incident.

"Let me start with the Second Shinobi War. Danzo collaborated with Hanzo of the Amegakure. He started a slaughter in Amegakure and killed many innocent civilians. He disguised his Root members as the shinobi of other villages and fanned the flames of war. It was him who was responsible for the death of many elite shinobis of Konoha."

Izuna throws another scroll towards Hiruzen.

"This is a proof of collaboration with Hanzo. I dug it out from his Root."

Izuna stares at various other clan leaders as he continues.

"I have an interesting piece of news for all of you. I don't know if you will like it or not."

"What is it... Izuna-kun?" Shikaku calmly asks him.

"I would also like to hear it." Shibi Aburame slowly opens his mouth.

Hmm... Hmm...

Choza Akimichi nods his head in agreement.

"Just spit it out, brat! Don't test our patience." Kurama clan leader gnashes his teeth.

Izuna frowns and stares at Kurama clan elder before turning away.

Kurama clan elder feels a chill running down his spine. The temperature around him drops and his blood starts to freeze. He anxiously rubs his hands to warm himself up.

'What's going on? Why am I the only one who is feeling so cold?'

"I won't waste your time. All of you must be aware of the fact that many talented ninjas of your clan either died in war or mysteriously disappeared."

Hmm...

They nod their head in agreement.

"So, what you mean to say is, all of it is related to Danzo, one way or another," Shikaku concludes.

"It's not related. It's him to be exact. Almost eighty percent of the time, he will either deploy his Root Anbus to get rid of them or will recruit them in his Root and will brainwash them to only serve himself."

Izuna throws a scroll containing the list of missing Ninjas towards Shikaku. Shikaku catches the scroll and skims through it. A frown appears on his face.

He passes the scroll to Yamanaka clan leader. One by one all of them read the content of the scroll and their expression turns ugly.

"What's the meaning of this, Hokage-sama?" Various clan leaders slam their hands on the table. The table crumbles under their strike.

"Wait... wait! It's not over yet. Let me finish my statement."

Izuna calms them down.

"So where was I? Ah! Yes... yes... after the Second Ninja war, Danzo wasn't satisfied with the result of the war. So, he cooked another scheme."

"What scheme?" all of them question him.

"Danzo would reveal the information of many important missions of the village to enemy villages through his spies deployed all over other nations.

He wanted to weaken the power of clans through this while strengthening his Root.

He schemed against my parents and almost got them killed. I even suspect he relayed information related to your mission to Kumogakure, Sakumo-san."

"What? It was Danzo who did it." Sakumo gnashes his teeth.

"Not only this, he even spread rumours about your failure in the village which almost lead you to commit suicide." Izuna continues.

Sigh...

Sakumo sighs and looks gratefully at Izuna.

"Now moving on, seeing all of his tricks and schemes fail; Danzo decided to use extreme methods. He joined hands with Orochimaru and conducted various experiments on human test subjects.

All of you must be aware of the information regarding missing persons spread in Konoha. Danzo quickly suppressed the rumours with his Root."

Izuna throws another scroll at them.

"What? You mean to say that Danzo was behind all of that. How evil could a person be to commit such heinous crimes? He conducted experiments on the very villagers he swore to protect.

Danzo is not a human, he is a demon in disguise. I have started to lose trust in the village. Our clan joined the village in hopes of finding a safe haven, but we never expected it to be the den of the devil.

Now, I have second thoughts about staying in this place."

Many clan leaders start to openly show their distrust and scorn for the deeds of the village elders.

Sigh...

Hiruzen took a deep breath. All of his hairs turns grey in an instant. He instantly aged ten of years as he weakly stares at the expression of various clan leaders.

'I have failed you, Sensei. I have failed you. Your dream to create a safe haven for young children is shattering right before my eyes. I can't see this happen before my eyes.

All of your hard work, blood and sweat are tainted in my hands.'

Izuna looks at their reaction and nods his head.

'I have successfully created a turmoil in their state of mind. Now it is time to raise the position of Uchiha clan in their heart and gain sympathy from all of them.'

"CALM DOWN EVERYONE!... Calm down..."

Izuna raises his voice to get their attention.

"The worst is yet to come. All of you must have wondered what was beneath the bandaged arm of Danzo at one point or another?"

"Yes!" All of them nod their head in agreement.

Swish...

Izuna takes out a shrivelled white arm from a scroll. There are many closed eyes on the arm.

"This is..."

All of them frown as they scrutinize the arm.

"It is the right arm of Danzo. And for your information, this arm is made from Hashirama cells synthesized by Orochimaru."

Izuna drops another bomb on them.

"WHAT? Hashirama cells... you mean the cells of the first Hokage."

"Yes, the cells of First Hokage. Danzo pilfered the grave of the First Hokage and synthesized his cells in the laboratory.

Now you might be wondering, what's the deal with all those closed eyes."

Izuna slowly opens one of the eyes to show the white sclera of the eye.

Fugaku frown as he notices the eye. He activates his Sharingan and closely stares at them.

'These are... these are Sharingans. But all of them are blind with no vision, it seems to be the effect of forbidden jutsu Izanagi.

Danzo that bastard! How many Uchiha clansmen did he murder to acquire so many Sharingans?'

Hiashi Hyuga activates his Byakugan to observe them.

"All of these eyes, they have different chakra colours. And from the look of it, this chakra colour matches with Uchihas. I have observed their chakra various times and I can't forget it this easily." He reveals the fact.

"What? You mean to say that all of these eyes were stolen from the Uchiha clan." Inoichi exclaims in surprise.

"Yes, Danzo head hunted our Uchiha clan members, and he murdered many Uchiha clan members to construct this arm. Paired with Hashirama cells, he was almost unstoppable."

Izuna takes out a small flask from his pocket. There is an eye inside the flask as it is floating in a solution.

"These eyes..." Fugaku looks at Izuna.

"These are the eyes of my ancestor Kagami Uchiha. Danzo pilfered them from his grave and replaced his right eye with them.

Not only this, he even manipulated the village using the power of these eyes. He even disgraced my ancestor through the sinister use of his power."

Hiruzen falls from his chair as he listens to this.

"Oh! My friend Kagami. I have even sinned against you and your descendants. I don't know how will I ever be able to make for it.

You sacrificed your life to preserve mine and yet here am I soiling your legacy."

"This is not the end yet."
