As an outsider, he knew better than anyone the prejudice that Shimura Danzo held against the Uchiha clan.
His gaze was fixed on Uchiha Izuna appearing on the screen, a complex expression on his face.
Danzo misunderstood Tobirama's will and believed that all Uchiha were evil...
In this dream world controlled by the Uchiha, he's probably not going to have an easy time!
……
on the screen.
Danzo stood blankly in the center of the training ground, his mind in turmoil, unable to calm down for a long time.
A moment later, Danzo came to his senses and abruptly turned his gaze to Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was standing to the side.
The young Sarutobi stood blankly not far away, his chest heaving, and his face still showing signs of pain. Clearly, the kick he had just received had caused him considerable injury.
Danzo's gaze was fixed on his young nemesis, his eyes burning with uncontrollable rage and his heart filled with resentment.
OK!
You bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi!
Danzo's face contorted slightly with excitement.
If Hashirama Senju becomes Hokage, you will become Tobirama's disciple.
Madara Uchiha became Hokage, and you became Izuna Uchiha's disciple?!
Do you even have any principles?
What about the Will of Fire that you believe in?
Only your Will of Fire as Hokage is the Will of Fire, right?
Where do you put Tobirama-sensei?!
Hiruzen Sarutobi, you're a complete opportunist and a total scoundrel!
All these years I've believed your lies, actually thinking you inherited the teacher's will and did all the dirty and hard work for you!
Danzo gritted his teeth in fury, his breathing becoming disordered due to extreme anger.
Hiruzen Sarutobi still stared at Danzo with a bewildered expression, completely unable to understand why his former comrade, with whom he had a fairly good relationship, had suddenly become such a different person.
For a moment, they stood frozen in place, at a loss for what to do.
Danzo's brutal beating had already made him suffer greatly.
Despite the excruciating pain, Hiruzen Sarutobi instinctively reached out a hand to grab Danzo, anxiously asking, "Danzo... I don't know what I did to upset you."
"If I do anything wrong, you can just tell me... cough!"
Danzo, enraged, laughed and slapped away Hiruzen Sarutobi's outstretched hand: "Don't touch me with your filthy hands!"
His roar echoed across the empty training ground, startling several birds in the distant treetops into flight.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand froze in mid-air.
"Dan... Danzo...?"
"Hiruzen Sarutobi!" Danzo's eyes practically spit fire. "You traitor! You lackey! I, Shimura Danzo, would never stoop to your level!"
This hysterical outburst completely stunned the young Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He stood there blankly, his mind a jumbled mess.
Let me think...
What did I do wrong that made Danzo hate and despise me so much?
Hiruzen Sarutobi scratched his head, thinking hard for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
On the contrary, the spot where Danzo had just kicked her was still throbbing with pain, and these words were like a knife twisting in her heart.
No matter how good Hiruzen Sarutobi's personality is, he is still just a teenager at this moment.
Feeling wronged, shocked, and slightly angry like a monkey...
A mix of complex emotions surged within him, but he stubbornly pursed his lips, trying to hold back the tears welling up in his eyes.
……
There was an uproar in the audience.
Orochimaru chuckled and remarked with interest, "Lord Danzo certainly had a lot of guts in the dream world!"
Tsunade's eyebrows shot up in anger: "Danzo's words are going too far!"
[Ding! Tsunade's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
Jiraiya frowned and said in a deep voice, "Exactly! How can you talk about an old man like that? No matter how wrong it is, there's no need to say such things!"
Even Jiraiya, who was usually carefree and nonchalant, lost his smile and frowned, clearly furious at Danzo's outrageous behavior.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turned ashen, and he trembled slightly with rage.
As the person who knew Danzo best, he could naturally guess what Danzo was thinking.
Danzo was clearly in the wrong first, but now he's turning around and taking all the blame on me!
He has some grievances but doesn't dare to confront them in real life, so he comes to the dream world to bully a little kid!
Hiruzen Sarutobi grew increasingly disappointed and angry.
The thought of how he had previously worried about Danzo's situation in this dream world filled Hiruzen Sarutobi with both anger and chills, a knot of resentment clenching in his chest. "That idiot..."
He truly couldn't understand how his former comrade-in-arms could have become so extreme and stubborn.
……
on the screen.
"Danzo! Shut up!" A deep, authoritative voice suddenly came from the side. Uchiha Izuna strode forward, his sharp gaze sweeping between the two disciples. "Danzo, apologize to Hiruzen immediately! You are both my students, my comrades-in-arms. How could you say such vicious and hurtful things?!"
Uchiha Izuna spoke sternly, his handsome face filled with disappointment and displeasure.
He stared at Danzo with an imposing aura.
"...I am also...his disciple?!" These words exploded in Danzo's mind like a thunderbolt!
No...not possible!
Danzo's pupils suddenly contracted, his worldview shattered, and he felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head.
He stared in disbelief, his mind filled with only one voice screaming wildly.
How could I...
I, Shimura Danzo, am a person who bears the true Will of Fire. How could I possibly be a disciple of the Uchiha clan, who is born evil?!
That's absolutely impossible!!
In Danzo's eyes, the Uchiha clan was inherently extremely evil and a hidden danger that Konoha had to eliminate.
Should we have him recognize an Uchiha as his teacher?
Absolutely ridiculous!
Seeing Danzo's extremely abnormal expression, Uchiha Izuna frowned even more deeply.
He gave Danzo a deep look, then suddenly his pupils narrowed and a crimson light flashed.
Unexpectedly, Uchiha Izuna Reizen made his move and suddenly activated his three-tomoe Sharingan!
With three tomoe spinning rapidly in his crimson eyes, Uchiha Izuna stared at Danzo, carefully examining the flow of chakra around him and his mental state.
Danzo felt a chill run down his spine as he was stared intently into those terrifying eyes that seemed to see right through people. He held his breath, and large beads of sweat slowly slid down his forehead.
A moment later, the bloodshot color in Uchiha Izuna's eyes faded, but the shock in his eyes deepened.
He slowly lowered his stance, his gaze towards Danzo filled with confusion and worry. He muttered to himself, "Strange... The chakra pathways are clear, and there are no signs of external interference on the mental level... It's not someone else using a transformation technique to disguise themselves."
“Teacher…” Seeing his teacher suddenly staring at Danzo in silence, as if checking something, the young Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn’t help but call out, “Danzo, is he… under a genjutsu?”
He looked at his friend with concern, for Danzo's actions today were far too abnormal.
“No.” Uchiha Izuna shook his head, suppressing his doubts and not pursuing the matter further.
He withdrew his gaze, his expression softening slightly, and said, "Danzo, your behavior today is very unusual. Tell me, what exactly happened to you?"
The tense atmosphere on the training ground had eased, leaving only Uchiha Izuna's calm voice echoing in the empty space.
Upon hearing Izuna's question, Danzo opened his mouth, but didn't know where to begin.
On one hand, there was his real past experiences, and on the other hand, there was this inexplicable and absurd dream. The two clashed violently in his mind, disturbing his peace of mind.
Danzo knew perfectly well that all of this was nothing but an absurd dream, but the people in the dream were unaware of it.
After a long while, he pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.
Uchiha Izuna frowned and waited for a moment, but Danzo remained silent.
The young Hiruzen Sarutobi stood to the side, opening his mouth but not knowing what to say. The atmosphere suddenly froze, and the surroundings were so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Seeing that Danzo remained stubbornly silent, Uchiha Izuna sighed and did not press the matter further.
He turned to Hiruzen Sarutobi and instructed, "Hiruzen, go find the medical team to treat your injuries. I'll talk to Danzo."
The young Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated for a moment, but still obediently nodded: "...Yes, teacher."
He clutched his still aching chest and turned to leave the training field as instructed.
Before leaving, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but look back at Danzo, his face full of worry and reluctance.
But his figure quickly disappeared into the distance.
On the spacious training ground, only Uchiha Izuna and Danzo, whose body was tense, remained.
The air around them seemed to freeze, with only a few fallen leaves being swept up by the breeze and drifting slowly between the two.
Danzo tensed up warily, his eyes fixed on the terrifying Uchiha powerhouse before him, extremely cautious, unsure of what the other would do next.
However, to Danzo's surprise, Izuna Uchiha did not continue to press him for answers, nor did he show any anger or disappointment.
Instead, he slowly approached Danzo, his expression softening, and then reached out to pat the messy tuft of hair on Danzo's head.
The gestures even revealed a hint of elder's love and intimacy!
