Chapter 409 Danzo is here, speculation about the Yellow Flash
Chapter 409 Danzo has arrived, and the speculation surrounding the yellow flash.
"Rin? The Three-Tails Jinchuriki? How could it be you?!"
Looking at the beautiful face of the Anbu revealed after the tailed beast transformation was removed, the Third Hokage was dumbfounded and blurted out.
He could guess that the rampaging Three-Tails Jinchuriki was an enemy disguised as an Anbu, but he never expected that she was actually Tsunade's prospective disciple, Nohara Rin.
Just as shocked as the Third Hokage was young Kakashi, "Rin, how could she become the Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails! Could it be because of that time last time..."
"I'm sorry, Third Hokage. I have something I must do right now, and I'll explain later." Nohara Rin gave Kakashi a reassuring look, then hurriedly turned and staggered to go home.
The binding spell on her body hasn't been lifted yet. She may seem harmless now, but she's still a ticking time bomb. If Madara Uchiha activates the spell again, she could easily go berserk again!
Therefore, the most urgent task is to go home and find Ishikawa to find a way to break the binding spell that contains the power of the Six Paths.
"Wait, you can't leave."
No sooner said than a chilling voice suddenly rang out just as Nohara Rin turned around.
The next second, Danzo and his Root ninjas surrounded Nohara Rin.
"How could a Jonin of the Anbu become a Jinchuriki of Kirigakure? No matter your reason, for the sake of Konoha, I must imprison and supervise you." Danzo stared intently at Nohara Rin, speaking in a seemingly righteous tone.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to strengthen Root, and he absolutely couldn't miss it. Moreover, Rin was a disciple and grand-disciple of the Third Hokage; he had to use this opportunity to weaken the Hokage's influence!
"Detain and supervise?" With a whoosh, Kakashi, disregarding his weakened state, stood in front of Rin, glaring angrily.
With Obito missing, he absolutely will not stand idly by and let Rin be taken away by Root and suffer an accident!
"Kakashi, are you going to betray Konoha?" Danzo sneered, pointing a finger at Kakashi, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.
If this guy hadn't retrieved the Yellow Flash, this might have been his chance to become Hokage.
Even if that doesn't work, they can still take advantage of the situation to push Orochimaru to become the Fourth Hokage, completely breaking free from the constraints of the Third Hokage and becoming the Shadow of Konoha.
Kakashi was about to retort when the Third Hokage suddenly stepped forward. "Betray Konoha? Danzo, you're going a bit too far with that!"
"Sarutobi, you..."
"As the leader of Root, don't you think you've arrived too late? If you don't have a reasonable explanation, then I think there's no need for Root to continue existing!" The Third Hokage interrupted him sharply, his dissatisfaction reaching its peak.
If Minato hadn't appeared in time to stop the Tailed Beast Ball, Konoha would have suffered heavy losses! He might even have been killed on the spot.
Danzo didn't show up at that crucial moment, but now he's jumping out to reap the rewards—this is clearly targeting him, the Third Hokage!
He knew his old friend's thoughts better than anyone else...
"Hmph, we just escaped too. Someone is taking advantage of the chaos to collect Sharingan eyes, and the enemy is likely the mastermind behind this incident. I suspect that the Three-Tails Jinchuriki might know something..." Danzo said with a dark face, trying to shift the blame, but in his heart, a raging fire was burning.
Disband Root? That bastard Sarutobi, this was the team he had worked so hard to build.
Sure enough, he still needs to find a way to become Hokage!
Otherwise, no matter how much power one has, in front of the Hokage, one is nothing more than someone who can be easily destroyed.
"Collecting Sharingan? The mastermind behind it all!!" Upon hearing Danzo's explanation, the Third Hokage's expression turned solemn and his gaze became serious.
Regardless of whether Danzo was lying or not, the mastermind behind it all definitely exists! And Rin is the most likely person to know the inside story…
"And then there's that Uchiha Sasuke who suddenly appeared; his identity is even more suspicious. Who knows, he might be the mastermind behind tonight's events." Seeing the Third Hokage deep in thought, Danzo continued to fan the flames; he was determined to get those Mangekyou Sharingan!
How can he take those eyes without pushing the other side to the opposite side?
"I'm the mastermind? Do you want to die now, Danzo?" Just as Fugaku frowned and was about to say something, Sasuke's voice suddenly rang out, and he appeared instantly.
In an instant, those eerie, scarlet six-pointed star kaleidoscope eyes stared intently at Danzo, or more precisely, at his bandaged right eye.
Although he did not witness Danzo's death in person, he later learned about the events and Danzo's secrets from Jundo and others.
However, Shisui is still a child, so what's wrong with Danzo's right eye?
"Arrogant brat, don't think you can do whatever you want and disrespect your elders just because you have those eyes!" Danzo said resentfully, instinctively avoiding Sasuke's gaze as he stared at him with the Mangekyou Sharingan.
"Disrespectful to elders? Who do you think you are..." Sasuke chuckled coldly, dismissing me with disdain. "You have no right to speak to me in front of these eyes. Or rather, I don't even consider you worthy of my attention."
"You!!" Danzo was so angry he was about to explode, his eyes blazing with fury that they almost burst out of their sockets.
"Sarutobi, if this guy doesn't have a reasonable explanation and identity, for the sake of the village, I must capture him and interrogate him for information. After all, although he's an Uchiha, he's not a Konoha ninja." Suppressing his anger, Danzo turned his gaze to the Third Hokage and Fugaku and shouted.
"This……"
A glint flashed in the eyes of both the Third Hokage and Fugaku. They wanted to say something, but then, remembering the various doubts surrounding Sasuke, they immediately fell silent.
Admittedly, both the Third Generation and Fugaku valued a kaleidoscope genius, but in times of war, they had to be responsible for the villagers or their families.
If it were an enemy, the damage it would cause would be far more than just a little...
Danzo felt relieved upon seeing this, and then changed the subject to Nohara Rin, "Also, Nohara Rin, you just called his name. Did you know each other before? Or is he the mastermind behind it all?"
He didn't participate in the battle just now, but he witnessed the whole thing and was in complete control!
Instantly, both Rin and Sasuke's pupils contracted, which is indeed difficult to explain.
Sasuke, in particular, still thinks that it was his senior brother Ishikawa, not Nohara Rin.
"Third Hokage, if it's Rin, I can guarantee she'll be fine." Just as the atmosphere became tense and a little awkward, a flash of golden light suddenly appeared beside Kakashi, and Minato Namikaze appeared with a smile.
"As for finding the mastermind behind this? Lord Hokage, I wonder if you could entrust this matter entirely to me?"
"Is that so? Then I'll leave it to you, Minato." The Third Hokage paused slightly, then looked deeply at the confident and sunny Minato Namikaze before finally agreeing.
Ignoring Danzo's sinister and resentful gaze, Minato Namikaze nodded to the Third Hokage, then turned to Sasuke with a bright smile, "I believe you are not the mastermind behind it all, Fugaku's son!"
"What?!"
In an instant, Fugaku gasped, his face contorting in a series of emotions—a mixture of black and red, filled with shame and indignation…
What on earth is this guy talking about??
