Who would have thought that a statement that once put them on a moral high ground would one day become an ironic joke? 

"Danzo, by the authority of the Hokage, I order you to remove the bandages on your head and arm." 

Tsunade hadn't come to the prison for idle chatter with Danzo. 

She needed to confirm whether everything Kazuki had said was true. 

Even though Danzo remained silent without refuting anything, some things needed to be seen with her own eyes. 

"Don't pull this nonsense!" 

Tsunade's words seemed to provoke Danzo, who roared angrily. 

"Tsunade, do you really think you would have become Hokage if the village hadn't been plagued with disasters? Do you think you deserve that seat?" 

"???" 

Tsunade was baffled. What did that mean? Did he think she *wanted* the job? 

She was forced into it! 

Great. Not only had Danzo gone mad, but now he was outright defying the Hokage's authority. 

"Ahem." 

Kazuki leaned closer to Tsunade and whispered. 

"Becoming Hokage has been Danzo's lifelong ambition. Anyone aiming for that position is his enemy. Oh, by the way, he once ordered an assassination attempt on the Third Hokage. The Third didn't even punish him for it." 

Wait, what?! 

You hid this from me too? 

Tsunade turned back in disbelief. Old man, you've gone too far this time. 

You let a lot of things slide, but Danzo trying to kill you?! 

Damn it, how much does this Kazuki even know about Danzo? 

Hearing this, the Third Hokage almost choked on the spot. 

Keeping that incident under wraps had been wise, but if it were exposed now, Danzo's crimes would multiply—punishable by death! 

Attempting to assassinate the Hokage wasn't just defiance—it was treason! 

"...How do you know all this?" 

An increasingly angry Danzo started doubting his life choices. 

"No wonder he kept targeting the Uchiha," Tsunade muttered. "He wanted to be Hokage, and for that, he needed power and influence." 

Many things that had puzzled Tsunade fell into place as Danzo's ambitions and actions were revealed. 

"Danzo, this is your last chance. Remove the bandages from your head and arm." 

Tsunade calmed herself, though her fiery gaze betrayed her rage. Seeing this change, the Third Hokage felt his heart sink. 

He'd rather deal with Tsunade's fiery outbursts than see her restrain her anger so coldly—it meant things were about to escalate. 

"Danzo, take off the bandages! Prove yourself!" 

The Third Hokage was desperate. But Danzo remained motionless, defiantly staring at the wall. 

His silence was a clear message. *Make me if you dare.* 

"Fine," Tsunade said, smiling coldly as her fiery gaze locked onto Danzo. 

"You won't obey the Hokage? Alright. Remove Danzo's bandages—use any means necessary. His life or death doesn't matter!" 

Since he refused to show respect, Tsunade saw no reason to show mercy. 

Under her command, the ANBU stepped forward. 

Kazuki and the Uchiha clan members retreated, giving the others space. 

Danzo had not only implanted Sharingan eyes to counteract Hashirama's cells but had also inscribed a Four Symbols Seal on himself—a self-destructive measure. 

Kazuki had no intention of getting caught in the fallout. 

Noticing Kazuki's signal, the Uchiha members followed suit, backing away to a safer distance. 

As the ANBU prepared to act, the Third Hokage yelled in frustration. 

"Danzo, I'm ordering you to remove those bandages!" 

Even now, the Third Hokage held onto hope that Danzo would comply and spare himself. 

"Even you're forcing me?" 

Danzo finally turned to look at the Third Hokage, his face filled with disdain. 

"Danzo," the Third Hokage said, taking a deep breath, "I order you to remove the bandages." 

Would he comply? 

Kazuki watched with interest from a distance. 

"Danzo, stop being so stubborn. Take off the bandages," added the two elder advisors, joining the Third Hokage in pleading. 

They knew the Third's goal was to save Danzo's life. If Danzo cooperated, there might still be room for negotiation. 

Finally, Danzo relented, loosening his grip on his staff. 

"Sarutobi, I told you that letting the Uchiha go unchecked would be your greatest regret!" 

Here we go again. 

Even now, you're fixated on the Uchiha?! 

The Third Hokage could've screamed in frustration. 

At last, Danzo placed his hand on his arm's bandages and began to remove them. 

As the bandages unraveled, the pale, corpse-like arm underneath was revealed, horrifying everyone present. On the hand's palm and back, two Sharingan eyes stared back at them. 

The Third Hokage clutched his chest, taking a step back in shock. 

The elder advisors' faces turned pale. 

"Unbelievable!" 

Tsunade laughed bitterly, her anger rising again. 

"This is the Hokage's trusted advisor? A so-called *pillar* of the village?" 

Even without the Uchiha massacre, Danzo had still managed to collect five Sharingan. 

Two on his hand, and three more embedded between his wrist and elbow. 

Enhanced by Hashirama's cells, Danzo's arm looked like a monstrous appendage. 

Once his arm was exposed, he moved to remove the bandages on his head. 

When they fell away, the three-tomoe Sharingan in Danzo's right eye socket was revealed. 

More disturbingly, as Danzo's eye spun, the Sharingan in his arm began to move in unison. 

"Horrifying!" 

Several of the shinobi near the cell instinctively backed away, overwhelmed by what they saw. 

The Uchiha's Sharingan, typically seen as powerful and captivating, looked nightmarish on Danzo, evoking only terror and disgust. 

"Damn it!" 

The Uchiha present were livid. 

"Lady Hokage, Danzo has used his position to steal the Sharingan from our clan—even desecrating the bodies of our fallen! Is the Uchiha not owed justice for this atrocity?!" 

Danzo had crossed an unforgivable line, and the Uchiha demanded retribution.
