Chapter 28: Chapter 28: The Birth of the Fifth Crazy Laughing Maniac (Part 1)
Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan!
This was a dōjutsu that could only be awakened by transplanting another person's Mangekyo Sharingan.
And the success rate was not 100%.
It could only be said that the closer the blood relationship between the two people, the higher the success rate.
The only person currently possessing the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was Uchiha Madara.
In the original Naruto story, Uchiha Sasuke was added to the list.
The eyes of an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan wielder wouldn't suffer from the side effect of blindness, and the impact on the user's body would also be reduced.
At the same time, it could manifest a Perfect Susanoo.
The ocular power would also be greatly enhanced.
It was considered the perfect Sharingan.
As for the Rinnegan, it was already on another level, fundamentally different from the Sharingan.
In terms of blood relation, Itsuki and Shisui were brothers.
Both of them had the Mangekyo Sharingan!
They met the conditions for the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
If Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Sasuke could succeed, Itsuki didn't believe he would be so unlucky.
He was kind and beautiful, so he would definitely succeed.
...
Hokage's Office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was dark as he stared at Danzo.
"Danzo, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Danzo said coldly, "Hiruzen, everything I do is for the sake of Konoha."
The Third Hokage said coldly, "Who would believe that?"
"Would Fugaku Uchiha believe it? Would Hiashi Hyuga believe it? Would Shikaku Nara believe it?"
"Or..."
"Would I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, believe it?"
Damn it, just listen to what you're saying. Even Choza Akimichi wouldn't believe it.
Danzo stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said in a chilling voice, "You don't believe me?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "..."
I have to admit, Danzo, this attack of yours caught me off guard.
How could he have overlooked the advantage of being thick-skinned?
At this time...
Saying he believed Danzo would make him look like an idiot!
Saying he didn't believe Danzo... Did he want to abandon Danzo?
Within the Uchiha clan, although Shisui and Itsuki had lost their Sharingan, the power Itsuki displayed still shocked him.
Shisui's strength was definitely not weak either.
Moreover, the Third Hokage wasn't sure where the two pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan were.
If they were in Itsuki's hands, then he would definitely have to rely on Danzo to counter the Uchiha.
If they were in Danzo's hands... Damn, this bastard would definitely become unstoppable and wouldn't show any mercy towards him. That Kotoamatsukami might even be used on him.
For the sake of Konoha, Danzo dared to slaughter the entire ninja world.
Hiruzen Sarutobi believed him too much!
He was definitely capable of doing it!
The Third Hokage realized with a blank expression that he was in danger.
In front of him were the Uchiha, and behind him was Danzo. He was caught in the middle.
If he wasn't careful, the situation had become like this!
He sighed deeply and said, "Danzo, the most crucial thing now is to find out the whereabouts of the Mangekyo Sharingan. Two pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan, including Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan with Kotoamatsukami. Do you want to experience it yourself?"
Danzo's face turned cold.
Who would want to be someone else's puppet?
Especially someone like Danzo with great ambitions.
The ninja world was still waiting for him to save it!
"So, stay calm and don't act rashly!"
The Third Hokage said coldly, "You led the Root ninjas to attack Uchiha Itsuki, which put us in a very passive position. During this time, you must remain silent."
Danzo didn't say anything and chose to acquiesce.
Because of this attack on Uchiha Itsuki, under the anger of Fugaku Uchiha and to appease the dissatisfaction of other ninjas, the Third Hokage removed Danzo from his position as Hokage's advisor.
At the same time, he ordered Danzo not to leave his residence and to quietly reflect on his actions.
Such punishment was neither painful nor itchy.
Who knew that at this time, Setsuna, the old lion, opened his mouth wide and asked the Third Hokage for a large sum of money, under the guise of "appeasing Itsuki."
A nominal Hokage advisor and a meaningless house arrest could not satisfy the Uchiha.
The Third Hokage had no choice but to accept it with a pinched nose.
Seventy percent of this money came from the Root's budget, and the remaining thirty percent was deducted from the Anbu's budget.
Unsurprisingly, both the Anbu and the Root wouldn't be able to expand for the next two years.
This was a heavy blow to the Root.
After all, not only did the attack on Uchiha Itsuki fail, but they also lost more than ten skilled members.
The twelve Root members who attacked Itsuki, plus the few Root members who protected Danzo.
These people were elites even within the Root.
The overall strength of the Root was directly reduced by one-third.
With such a large deduction from their budget, Danzo was truly hurt to the core.
So, he turned his cold gaze towards Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.
Koharu and Mitokado: "..."
The two looked pitifully at the Third Hokage.
The Third Hokage remained silent.
What did you two need so much money for?
Now that the Uchiha had become a problem and Danzo was needed to deal with them, what use were you two besides paying?
Counting on you two to deal with the Uchiha?
Hehe!
Make the Uchiha laugh to death?
Seeing the Third Hokage's attitude, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado felt their hearts sink.
They usually didn't get much, and now that something had happened, they were actually being asked to share the burden.
What were they gaining from this?
However, looking at Danzo's fierce expression, they accepted it.
So, out of the seventy percent that the Root had to pay, Koharu and Mitokado each contributed twenty percent, meaning the Root only paid thirty percent, the same as the Anbu.
A world where everyone was hurt emerged.
...
At this moment, the Uchiha clan was also not peaceful.
Fugaku Uchiha knelt in his room, like a statue.
He had maintained this posture since returning from the hospital.
After a while.
A middle-aged Uchiha walked in and whispered, "It's confirmed, Elder Uchiha Setsuna went to Kurenai Yuhi's house."
Kurenai Yuhi, a Chunin, wasn't worth the attention of the Uchiha clan leader.
Even if she was the daughter of Kurenai Yuhi.
However.
There was an extra person in that ordinary house.
Uchiha Itsuki!
"How come I didn't know that Uchiha Itsuki and Uchiha Setsuna were in contact?"
Fugaku's voice was cold.
He was very concerned about the movements of the Jonin within the clan.
Especially Uchiha Setsuna.
He had experienced the era of Madara Uchiha and was the most restless person in the Uchiha clan.
He had been suppressed several times, but he remained tenacious.
He jumped up again and again!
Uchiha Itsuki's usual actions could only be described as mischievous and playful.
But!
Who dared to ignore him?
The youngest Jonin of the Uchiha clan.
This title alone was enough to attract attention.
He was also the grandson of Uchiha Kagami. Within the Uchiha clan, there were quite a few people who owed Kagami favors.
Those people wouldn't obey Itsuki, but they were more tolerant towards him.
Moreover!
Itsuki had messed with Danzo several times, forcing Danzo to chase him with a kitchen knife.
In the end, Itsuki was unharmed.
You say Danzo was tolerant?
Including Hiruzen Sarutobi, who didn't want to kill him?
Because of these things, Fugaku had started paying attention to Itsuki a long time ago.
Today, Itsuki's performance was even more surprising.
He mercilessly swept away more than ten Root members with an iron-blooded approach.
And Danzo could only swallow this silent grievance.
Even Fugaku couldn't help but admire him secretly.
But!
Why was he in contact with Setsuna?
Fugaku's brows furrowed deeply.
