Situation Escalates And Danzo Makes Trouble

The situation escalated, the villagers got scared and the Uchihas panicked.

"F*ck Iroh, why did you do that?"

"I..."

Iroh, the Uchiha, who stabbed the Anbu was dazed. He did not understand why he did such an impulse thing. The idea just violently came to his mind and then he just stabbed.

'Illusion? But I have two-tomoe Sharingan and my chakra is stable. There is no sign of any illusion.'

Iroh looked up and observed his surroundings carefully.

Yami who looks very young and is acting very scared was, of course, not suspected.

Iroh found no clues, took a deep breath, and calmed down a bit. He has to think about how to act in this situation now. Anbu will be here soon and he and his group will get surrounded.

He needs help:

"Quick Tianha, call more Uchiha guards!"

Uchiha Tianha also reacted immediately when he heard this, running out of the bar with maximum speed, straight to the Uchiha guard station. Ninjas are very fast, especially elite Chunin like Tianha and he arrived there in a short while.

"Come fast, Help! Iroh stabbed an Anbu, come to Sing and Drink bar now!"

The guards on duty followed instantly, when they arrived at the bar, Sarutobi Hiruzen with a large group of Anbu was already standing there.

Uchiha Fugaku, the current clan patriarch has also appeared, standing in front of the Hokage with a worried look on his face, talking to Sarutobi:

"Lord Hokage, our clansmen are not that impulsive, someone must have used illusion to influence him."

Sarutobi also thought of this possibility, he does not want the conflict between him and the Uchiha clan to erupt yet.

He gave a command to the Anbu near him:

"Go check if there are any signs of illusions."

"Yes, Sir!"

The Anbu immediately got to work and carefully tested any chakra influence in the bar, but found nothing.

"Sir, there is no sign of any kind of illusion or even chakra reaction!"

Sarutobis and Uchiha Fugaku's faces darkened when they heard that.

'This is very troublesome. Danzo is still in the preparation period, what we need is not civil war, instead, it's a clean genocide.

Where even is that guy Danzo? I am surprised that he is not the first person to appear if it comes to Uchiha.'

Sarutobi is thinking deeply, about what to do now.

He cannot diffuse the situation cleanly, because too many people have seen, what happened. If he does not deal with this situation fairly, his image as a kind-hearted Hokage will suffer.

On the other hand, if he punishes the Uchiha clan too strongly, the already tense situation may erupt into something uncontrollable. He has to find a delicate balance, but it's impossible to do so without any negative impact.

Uchiha Fugaku was also deeply worried:

'This is bad. At this time such a thing happened. No! I have to stop it from escalating further. Itachi is already in Anbu, with his information and Shisuis strength, the Coup may really succeed.'

Uchiha Fugaku actually does not want to stage a coup, but the Konoha high-level has forced him to a corner. The clansmen are sick of all the persecution and it is getting harder and harder to hold them down.

That is why he sent his son to Anbu so that he can provide them with information.

Of course, Fugaku never expected, that from all people, it was his son who decided to wield the butcher knife and cleanly slaughter them off in the end. As a father, if he cannot even trust his son, then he is really a failure.

While they were thinking, a man with bandages on his head and arm with a cold look in his eye arrived.

Behind him were a large number of masked root members.

In their eyes was no emotion, only ruthless obedience.

"Uchiha clan, are you trying to rebel? Attacking and killing an Anbu in public, are you already so lawless?"

Danzo was persecuting the Uchiha with righteousness on the outside, but in his mind, he was delighted:

'Finally, all the little tricks I did paid off. Both Uchiha and Sarutobi will be damaged by this incident, although it is not enough to get Hiruzen down from the throne, it will still hurt his image Hahaha.

Hiruzen, Hiruzen, you have today too. Sure enough teacher, I should have been Hokage.'

Both Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Fugaku are trying to calm down the situation, but Danzo is the opposite.

The reason he was so late here, is because he sent his Root members to spread what happened here to every corner of Konoha.

This is also the situation Yami has hoped for when he executed this plan. Danzo, as the legendary 'Darkness of Konoha' how could he let such an opportunity go.

Sarutobi Hiruzen became mad when he saw the face of his old teammate, of course, he knew what that guy has in his mind:

"Danzo, don't talk nonsense. The situation is under control, it was an accident, they were drunk and impulsive. The perpetrator will be punished accordingly, this is not your place to go wild."

How could Danzo listen to what Sarutobi has to say? He has been held down by Hiruzen for too long. His dream to be Hokage was trampled ruthlessly on by Sarutobi.

After the Nine-tails incident when the fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze died, Danzo finally had hope.

He had hope, that after all these years in darkness, he could finally come to light and lead Konoha to prosperity, but when he had high hopes, Sarutobi shamelessly became Hokage again.

That day, any and all affection as friends Danzo may have had with Sarutobi died, together with his hopes.

Danzo is not reconciled, just because he hesitated for a few seconds when his teacher called them before his death, he failed to become Hokage and started a life full of humiliation. At least in Danzos view, this is the case.
