Chapter 67: This Little Brat Can Actually Sense the Will of Fire in Me? (1/2)

"..."

From the depths of his heart, the Third Hokage felt a surge of powerlessness.

The issue with Wakaho... couldn't be said to be unrelated to the current situation; on the contrary, it was quite crucial. It vividly illustrated the meaning of "children should stay out of adult matters."

But the Third Hokage certainly wouldn't say that.

He looked at Orochimaru with some confusion, his gaze questioning: Disciple, what are you up to?

Orochimaru maintained his smile, shrugged, and gestured with his eyes towards the two-kilometer distance where there was still a Five-Tails.

Teacher, I tried my best, but this child is too impulsive. We can't just leave him with the Five-Tails, can we? It might launch a Tailed Beast Bomb...

Fugaku naturally couldn't say anything too harsh to Wakaho, but the question was indeed a bit awkward.

In fact, given the current tense situation, any topic related to Danzo was somewhat awkward for the Uchiha clan.

Fortunately...

There was still someone at the scene who could speak up.

"Of course not, little Wakaho," Sakumo appeared.

Sakumo had "disappeared" on the spot after severing Danzo's left arm, and now he finally emerged again.

He looked at the closed-eyed Danzo with a mischievous expression and said, "The eyes you saw do indeed come from the Uchiha clan, but Elder Danzo is obviously not an Uchiha. His Sharingan was transplanted..."

"As for how Elder Danzo got his eyes... you might have to ask him personally."

Previously, Sakumo had drawn his sword, not for himself.

This kid Wakaho had risked his life to block the Five-Tails Jinchuuriki and completed the mission he couldn't accomplish. Sakumo remembered this favor.

So when he discovered Danzo was trying to seal the Five-Tails, Sakumo made up his mind.

This strike was for the Uchiha clan.

Although it might come at a great cost later, and might not even save the Five-Tails for the Uchiha, Sakumo didn't regret it... Moreover, Sakumo wasn't just going to "plead guilty." He couldn't let Danzo off for the dirty deeds he did.

Unexpectedly, Wakaho accidentally uncovered Danzo's secret of hiding Sharingan...

Now this was getting interesting.

Sakumo stood his ground, guarding Danzo closely.

As long as the Uchiha didn't act impulsively and ruin this favorable situation, Danzo might not be able to leave unscathed today.

Sakumo's current mood was: I've got Danzo cornered, not even the Third Hokage can save him, I tell you!

'Hmm, Sakumo is now the big villain.'

After hearing Sakumo's words, Wakaho made a quick decision.

"So Elder Danzo really isn't one of us Uchiha!?"

Wakaho exclaimed, "But I clearly sensed a very strong Will of Fire in him!"

"Hmm!?"

Danzo finally opened his eyes, but still only one eye.

His sharp gaze fixed on Wakaho, with disdain as the underlying tone, but the main emotion was shock.

What is this brat talking about?

Sensing the Third Hokage's gaze, Danzo closed his eyes again, refusing to respond.

But in his heart, there was a bit of doubt.

This little brat... can actually sense the Will of Fire in me?

"Wakaho-kun..." Orochimaru patted Wakaho's shoulder, "Isn't it possible that what you sensed was actually the Will of Fire from Elder Danzo's transplanted Sharingan?"
