Chapter 112 - 112 : Danzo, I am Hokage

.

---

The current Uchiha clan is indeed a growing threat to the village.

If what Danzo said is true... then there's something deeper at play here.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, felt a pounding headache.

He had been careless.

No, he had been too merciful.

If he had listened to Danzo during the war and weakened the Uchiha clan back then, things wouldn't be so troublesome now.

But now, the Uchiha had gained the trust of both the villagers and many shinobi in Konoha. If they made a move against them too suddenly, it would provoke backlash. The people would resist it.

A more comprehensive strategy was needed.

Hiruzen turned his gaze toward Danzo, his long-time advisor and political rival.

"Danzo... You had two of your men summon Uchiha Mikoto, the current head of the Uchiha clan. Are you sure that was a wise decision?"

Danzo scoffed. "Hiruzen, don't play dumb with me."

Hiruzen narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"

"You already know what I mean."

Hiruzen sighed, taking a deep breath before responding. "You mean the Mangekyō Sharingan."

"Yes."

Uchiha Mikoto had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan during the war. Danzo had confirmed it, but so had Hiruzen. As much as he hated to admit it, Danzo was right. The power of that eye had been displayed on the battlefield.

Sending those two men to summon her was just an excuse—Danzo wanted to verify her power firsthand. And now that they hadn't returned, there was no doubt left.

Mikoto had indeed awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

The realization made Hiruzen's shoulders tense.

Homura and Koharu, his other advisors, were visibly shocked.

"What?! You both knew about this and didn't inform us?!" Homura demanded.

"This is major news!" Koharu added.

The Sharingan had the ability to control tailed beasts. Uchiha Madara was proof of that. He had once bent the Nine-Tails to his will and fought the First Hokage, Hashirama, in the legendary battle at the Valley of the End.

Had it not been for Hashirama's strength, Konoha might have never survived.

Now, another Mangekyō Sharingan had appeared.

Was another Madara rising within the Uchiha clan?

The thought sent a chill down Hiruzen's spine.

The Third Shinobi War had ended more quickly than expected.

Was it truly because Konoha had grown so strong?

Or was there something else at play?

Hiruzen thought of Kushina Uzumaki—"The Red-Hot Habanero."

Her name had been everywhere in war reports. The woman had left a trail of bodies behind her, earning fame and fear alike. And as the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki, she was already dangerous enough.

But there was something odd...

The reports about the Third Raikage's final battle.

The story claimed he had fought 20,000 Rock shinobi alone.

But that wasn't true.

He wasn't alone.

He had a partner.

A man with the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Another one.

That meant Mikoto wasn't the only Uchiha with the Mangekyō.

If there were two Uchiha at Kage-level power...

That was an immediate threat to the stability of the village.

Hiruzen looked up.

Danzo, Homura, and Koharu were watching him. Waiting for his decision.

"Hiruzen," Danzo said coldly. "It's up to you to decide how to handle the Uchiha."

The village's foundation could not be allowed to crumble in their hands.

Hiruzen clenched his fists.

If the Uchiha could not be controlled...

Then they had to be eliminated.

Now was the perfect opportunity to test their loyalty.

If Mikoto refused to prove her loyalty, then action would have to be taken.

"Danzo," Hiruzen said, his voice firm. "Tomorrow, I will summon Mikoto to the outer chamber of the village. The four of us will witness her loyalty firsthand."

Danzo smirked.

That location was more than just a meeting place.

It was where he had once backed Itachi into a corner and forced him to choose between his family and the village.

It was also where he had taken Shisui's eye.

The Uchiha's graveyard.

And if Mikoto refused to comply, the ANBU and Root forces would be lying in wait.

Danzo's smirk widened. "This is the Hiruzen I know."

Gone was the merciful old man.

The Third Hokage had returned to being a cold, calculating leader.

Elsewhere in the village, Kushina Uzumaki stood before Tsunade with an amused grin.

Next to her was a man with sharp, scarlet eyes and a cocky smirk.

Kurama.

Tsunade raised an eyebrow. She took a slow step forward, studying him. Her golden eyes locked onto his vertical pupils, and her lips curled into a smirk.

"Oh my god. What kind of man has eyes like that?"

Kurama flashed his teeth. A row of sharp canines.

Tsunade's smirk faltered.

Everyone else had one or two prominent fangs.

This guy had a whole row.

Good grief.

This was Kushina's boyfriend?

Tsunade had to admit, he had a certain presence to him.

Still, ordinary men weren't good enough for her reckless student. If Kushina had chosen this guy, there had to be something more to him.

And as Kushina's teacher, Tsunade wasn't about to let her student get swept away so easily.

She had to test him.

She had to see what this man was really made of.

At the same time, a small flicker of envy stirred in her chest.

She was nearly thirty years old.

She had never even held a man's hand, and here her student was, head over heels for some cocky bastard.

Tsunade scowled.

Damn it. Was she really that old?

Not that she was lacking in appeal—her body was flawless.

But where the hell was her prince charming?

Kushina, meanwhile, leaned in and whispered something in Tsunade's ear.

Tsunade froze.

Her golden eyes widened in shock.

Kushina pulled away, smiling smugly.

Tsunade stared at Kurama in disbelief.

According to Kushina, everything had been planned by him.

The battles, the movements, the strategies... all of it.

This man had orchestrated it all.

Tsunade was floored.

She had to admit, she was impressed.

But strategy and intelligence weren't enough.

This was the shinobi world.

Strength was everything.

Tsunade crossed her arms. "Hey, brat. I hear you've managed to 'conquer' my Kushina."

Kurama tilted his head. "Oh? What about it?"

His tone was so casual, so dismissive.

Tsunade twitched.

This little bastard—!

She felt anger bubbling up.

"You think you can just take her away?" Tsunade smirked. "If you want to snatch Kushina, you're going to have to get past me first."

Kurama's grin widened.

"Oh?"

He took a single step forward, the air around him growing heavy.

Tsunade's smirk faded slightly.

Now this was getting interesting.
