Haha, the real devil can pry open the mouths of the dead.
In the dungeon.
The place was filled with wailing sounds and the smell of blood.
Almost all the high-ranking members of the Elders' families have participated in something that harmed Konoha, so the work of the interrogation team has never stopped, and every loss recovered is meaningful.
The faces of the members of the Mountain Clan were ashen. The intensive task of probing the target's thoughts in a short period of time put a lot of pressure on them.
But in order to get closer to Hokage, these are necessary efforts.
I still envy those ruthless people who do physical interrogation next door. They really have a good appetite for using these methods day and night.
Two former Konoha elders were imprisoned in such a place.
It was impossible to fall asleep listening to the screams and curses.
After learning that Sarutobi Hiruzen had defected, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En immediately confessed a lot of things in an attempt to gain leniency.
However, in this area isolated from the outside world, their thinking has not kept up with the rapid changes in Konoha, nor do they understand the methods of the new Hokage, and they still feel that there is still a chance.
Just hand over some of the illegal gains made over the years and then change the shadow you support. It's a power struggle.
The two elders reflected on their mistakes and were willing to accept the drama of publicly accusing the Third Hokage.
As for the worst outcome, it is nothing more than returning to the ordinary class and struggling. What else can it be?
These people also understand this simple truth.
That is, we are all from the same class, and protecting ourselves and others is protecting tomorrow...
But after learning that the new Hokage will have a public trial, he can no longer calm down.
The public trial means killing them. At this moment, the so-called demeanor of an elder is immediately thrown aside.
Political life and the like are all artificially created empty words. Most people are more afraid of having their real lives ended.
How wonderful it is to be alive.
"I want to see Kakashi, I want to see the Hokage, I have made great contributions to Konoha!!!"
"We didn't do anything about Hatake Sakumo. It was Hiruzen and Danzo who did it."
"We are willing to donate all our family property, just to let us meet the Hokage..."
The two elders howled for a long time but still no one helped them pass on the message.
Are you kidding? There is no ninja in Konoha who has not made contributions to the village.
Furthermore, it is ridiculous to say that one can do evil in the village just because he has made meritorious contributions. The new will of fire strongly refutes this idea.
The value of these two Konoha elders has been greatly reduced after the interrogation. They couldn't even carry out a decent big conspiracy. It really makes people feel... is that it?
When the Anbu and Noah passed by, they didn't even glance at this place.
But the situation was different for the other person, Danzo Shimura, who was held in solitary confinement.
A separate secret dungeon, various seals and chains, and lots of traps.
During this period, they captured several diehard members of the Root by revealing their places of detention, and of course, they also eliminated some assassins sent by other families to silence them.
This is the appearance and ability that a villain leader should have.
It's a pity that he went crazy.
Even after learning that they were going to be dragged to the square for a public trial, there was still no response.
He has been like this ever since the day he and Sarutobi Hiruzen failed in their escape and were hunted down again. He is unable to take care of himself and his mind is like a stagnant pool of water.
He was so dirty and smelly that he just lay there and refused to say anything during the interrogation.
The interrogation squad of the Anbu was not very civilized, otherwise those two cockroaches wouldn't have suffered so easily.
But the physical pain seemed to be completely unable to enter the heart of this disabled person. He just treated his body as a piece of rotten meat and let it rot.
The brain is unable to steal information due to the control of the root dark force and various seals, so it can only be left here helplessly.
Even in order to ensure that the other party did not die, someone had to be found to heal and clean the wound.
Until the day the Hokage's secretary arrived.
"You guys go out first, I'm going to chat with an old friend."
"Yes."
Noah brought a chair and sat opposite Danzo.
He really looked like a vegetative person. There was no chakra fluctuation or thought fluctuation in his senses, and even his specialty, malicious perception, was empty.
Mental breakdown? I don't believe it.
"Introduce myself, the Hokage's secretary. Your name...is not important."
It wasn't the first time the two had fought, but the other party was unaware of his existence.
One of the biggest crises when I first came to Naruto World was brought by this guy, and now I can finally see the legendary Naruto face to face.
The man who was behind most of the conspiracies of Naruto, the founder of the "You Regret, I'm Hokage" strategy, and the inventor of the generation Hokage.
This will be the last time we fight. A lot of the root's information is in his brain, and some means are needed to make him hand it over.
There is also some surplus value that needs to be squeezed out, otherwise it will not conform to the principle of making the best use of things.
Since he has collapsed mentally, he should just regroup. Yin-attributed chakra began to quietly spread throughout the cell, suggesting that the power of hypnosis and guidance was emitted in the weakest form.
"No need to wait, Sarutobi Hiruzen won't come back."
Danzo still had that blank expression on his face, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"In fact, you are not suitable to be Hokage. Because your heart is not black enough or white enough.
People who cannot step into the sunlight will not be recognized by everyone, and they are naturally unsuitable for the position of Hokage.
Even if you use all possible conspiracy means to succeed, you will be overthrown or even assassinated.
Hokage...Whether you are a good person or a hypocritical person, you have to be more resourceful than a bad person."
Danzo remained silent, but his mental fluctuations began to fluctuate slightly.
Chapter 118 What if...
If someone from the interrogation class said something about him, he would naturally not be moved, but this person... his identity is different, and to some extent, he represents the one in the Hokage Building.
Is this showing off?
At this time, the Hokage's secretary showed a cruel expression.
He said something that a normal Anbu or normal Konoha ninja would not or dared to say.
"Why do you think the Nidaime didn't choose you? Was it really just because Sarutobi Hiruzen was half a step faster than you?"
……
These malicious words tore apart certain emotions and restored the focus of Danzo's confused pupils.
How dare a mere fifth generation who came to power illegitimately question the decision of Mr. Tobirama?
The hoarse voice echoed in the dungeon.
"I admit that at that moment, Hiruzen's courage was indeed greater than mine, and the teacher's choice was not wrong."
But at that time, his heart was still filled with resentment.
And what does this little brat Kakashi know about inheritance? He is just a despicable thief.
The Hokage's secretary gave an amused smile, and then... a Sharingan appeared in his eye socket.
The rapid rotation of the three magatama directly covered all vision, and the Yin attribute that had been emanating from the periphery for a long time also began to invade along with the Sharingan.
Oh no, it’s an illusion!
How could it be a Sharingan? Kakashi's secretary is from the Uchiha clan? Why is there only one?
Although he was surprised, he was not panicked. After all, there were various versions of the seal in his mind.
As long as you say something you shouldn't say in an involuntary situation, your entire brain or memory will explode.
It's really despised that he's still playing this kind of trick now...
"We are surrounded. The number of enemies is..."
Familiar woods, familiar scenes, familiar people.
Senju Tobirama, with a cold aura but a pale face, is planning tactics, and surrounding him are the young Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kado En, Utane Koharu, Uchiha Kagami, Akimichi Tofu, and his younger self.
The elderly Danzo stood aside like an outsider or a ghost, watching the development of the plot.
"Being a bait? You'll definitely die... Who'll go?"
Ah~~ What a familiar conversation. It was really useless for Qufeng to say this at that time.
The elderly Tuan Zang looked at the scene in front of him with an expressionless face.
During the battle at the Hokage Building, Shisui had already used the same illusion, and another one would not be able to affect his mind.
It's just that you're always one step slower, haha.
What's more, this person's illusion skills aren't as high as that of the evil kid, and the game is played from a third-person perspective, which makes the experience completely uninvolved.
"Let me be the one."
As expected, the illusion is... What? !!!
The first person to say this was...Shimura Danzo!!!
The young Danzo uttered these words with determination at this moment, and took half a step ahead of the young Hiruzen.
Even though he knew it was an illusion, the elderly Danzo felt a long-lost tension while standing in the void. This dream-like scene appeared countless times in the middle of the night.
But what exactly does it mean to be cast into the opponent's illusion? At the same time, my heart begins to be unconsciously immersed in it.
Here's another 'what if'...
Sure enough, the friends around him all looked at him in shock. No one could have expected that their friend would be so brave.
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had always been in competition with him, patted him on the shoulder and said that he was awesome.
Although Hiruzen later expressed his willingness to be a bait, his performance was naturally much inferior as he was half a step late.
The following plot was no different, and every word spoken by my companions was engraved in my heart.
It was in this place that Tobirama-sensei spoke those predetermined sentences.
"You are all the young people who will protect the village in the future..."
"One day that moment will come, and then you can choose to give up your life."
Suddenly the Second Hokage stood up, and the elderly Danzo clenched his fists tightly.
This time I said it first!!!
"Monkey, you must protect the people in the village who admire and trust you. I didn't expect that at the last moment you learned to think steadily. This is the best quality of a Hokage."
Nani?
Teacher, what are you talking about? What does it mean to think carefully?
The shadow of the elderly Danzo stood aside, at a loss. He even lost control and wanted to grab Teacher Tobirama and question him, why did you give such a reason when I stood up first?
This... this... this illusion is too despicable!!!
The voice-over came from the sky, and Noah's cold voice sounded like the devil's whisper.
"Don't understand? Then try it again."
Time goes back to that decisive moment.
This time it was the young Hiruzen who stepped forward first, while the young Danzo stayed where he was, feeling upset.
And Mr. Tobirama's decision is.
"You did hesitate when making the decision. You must recognize your own mistakes and not lose your rationality."
Then stood up.
