Hearing his words, Danzō slapped the table in a rage.
"How dare you be so disrespectful to me?"
"Are you planning to betray the village?"
Everyone present was shocked by this slap.
It seemed Lord Danzō was truly furious; the Uchiha clan was actually beginning to act so impulsively now.
This posture suggested the situation might evolve into a direct confrontation between the two sides.
Ryōsuke looked at Danzō's angry expression without a hint of fear.
The Mangekyō Sharingan in his eyes grew even more scarlet.
He felt that as long as he poured more chakra into his eyes, he could make the Susanoo evolve further, perhaps enough to give this guy a couple of hard punches.
And right now, even if he made a move against the other party, there was no reason to be timid.
With his current strength, there was likely no one in the entire Leaf Village who could be his match.
Even if all the clan heads before him were added together, they probably wouldn't be his opponents.
Not to mention, the dozen or so Sharingan on Danzō's arm were proof of his crimes.
Even if he killed Danzō right now, no one would be able to convict him.
No one would dare to seek justice for Danzō.
If anyone tried to make a scene, he would simply destroy them as well.
He looked at Danzō and spoke with an expression of utter disdain.
"What a big tone you have. Is disrespecting you, a Consultant Elder, equivalent to betraying Konoha? Those who don't know better might think you, a Consultant Elder, hold higher authority than Lord Third Hokage."
The expressions of everyone present changed. In truth, the power the Third Hokage had granted Danzō was indeed immense; he even handled some matters by bypassing Lord Third directly.
Hearing this, the Third Hokage's expression shifted.
Since when did this fellow Danzō have greater authority than him?
He was merely a consultant. If not for the need to keep him around to handle certain tasks, he could have taken him down simply based on the fact that Danzō had dared to make a move against him in the past.
Danzō was even more furious upon hearing these words.
He was actually trying to drive a wedge between him and the Third Hokage.
Looking at that pair of Sharingan, he felt a very real threat.
This guy actually wanted to make a move against him.
'Don't think that being in the Konoha base camp is as simple as defeating the Cloud Village.'
'The village has thousands of ninja.'
'No matter what, we can exterminate the Uchiha clan.'
'Moreover, there are only two of them here right now, and they are the leaders of the clan.'
'As long as these two are eliminated, the Uchiha clan will be headless.'
'The difficulty of strangling them will drop in a straight line.'
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and his heart grew increasingly ruthless. He looked at the Third Hokage.
"Third Hokage, and the two Advisors, you have all seen it. This member of the Uchiha clan looks down on the Konoha high command so lightly; this is already rebellion and treason. Join forces now to capture these two Uchiha clansmen!"
The two Advisors looked at the furious Danzō, surprised that he was asking them to join hands against the Uchiha clan right now.
Although they were once classmates with Danzō and were in the same squad when they were Genin, this action was too extreme.
Didn't he see the two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan the other side had already revealed?
There was even that person with super-strong Taijutsu; was this really the time to start a fight?
They had naturally seen Susanoo before.
When Uchiha Madara used Susanoo in the past, its power could split mountains and seas.
Even if the Susanoo developed by the person before them was smaller, if the young Uchiha Ryōsuke could activate Susanoo, then wouldn't Uchiha Fugaku be able to activate it as well?
At a glance, these were not opponents that could be easily taken down.
If they couldn't take these two down in a short time, the Uchiha clan members would arrive.
Then it would be a civil war for the entire village, and the whole village would be torn apart. They did not support such a risky move.
Even the Third Hokage spoke up to refuse.
"Danzō, calm down first. There is no need to take things to this extent."
"Uchiha Ryōsuke, you stop as well. After all, Danzō is also acting for the development of the village."
Now was not the time to fight; if a fight broke out, it would inevitably be a major battle.
Even he didn't dare say he would be able to survive such a battle unscathed.
The village's current combat power might not be able to compare with the Uchiha clan anymore.
It was a pity that his three disciples, who clearly possessed super-strong abilities, were all absent from the village.
The most talented one, Orochimaru, had defected from the village.
Jiraiya had also left to travel the world.
Tsunade had a rift with the high command and had even developed hemophobia.
He didn't know what the situation was like now.
To deal with the Uchiha clan, Jiraiya and Tsunade had to be recalled.
Only in this way could they deal with the Uchiha clan. They might even have to cooperate with a traitor like Orochimaru.
Otherwise, facing such a powerful Uchiha clan, what could the current high command use to deal with them?
Even if he was known as the strongest Hokage, facing that demon-god-like Susanoo... with his current strength...
It would probably be a bit difficult.
Hearing the Third Hokage's words, Danzō was speechless in his heart. Cowardly as always, missing the opportunity for battle.
Having such a good excuse, yet he refused to act against the Uchiha clan immediately.
Why did the Second Hokage choose such a person to become the Third Hokage back then?
If this continued, this clan would become even more dominant.
Then they wouldn't be able to suppress them at all, and the position of Hokage would inevitably belong to the Uchiha clan in the future.
He was so angry he wanted to rebuke the Third Hokage, but falling out with the Third Hokage now was even less advisable.
Ryōsuke also didn't want to make a move on Danzō immediately; he wanted to see what other content was in the complaint letters the other party had found.
Fugaku naturally knew everything happening in the room like the back of his hand, but he continued to calmly flip through the complaint letters.
He simply didn't care about Danzō's threats.
Ryōsuke had activated the Mangekyō Sharingan, so what was there to be afraid of?
Ryōsuke's Mangekyō Sharingan definitely hosted a terrifying Dōjutsu.
This was his guess; after all, Ryōsuke could be said to be a talent rarely seen in the Uchiha clan in a hundred years.
Although it manifested in Taijutsu, looking at it now, his talent for the Kekkei Genkai was still shocking.
After flipping to a specific complaint letter, he pulled it out.
"I found one here. This person named Chikada Akira. I recall he got drunk and caused a disturbance, going into a drunken rage and intending to hurt people intentionally."
"Unexpectedly, he was critically injured by the person he attacked. He actually has the face to come and complain? You should know that the Uchiha clan not pursuing his responsibility back then was already handling it very leniently."
"Danzō, do you dare use such a complaint letter to slander our Uchiha clan? It is truly shameful."
Shimura Danzō said indignantly, "What is the problem with this? The drunken troublemaker didn't cause harm to anyone else, but was beaten into critical condition. And you didn't punish the perpetrator?"
"Truly absurd. This was obviously excessive self-defense. He could have even chosen to run. If he had, would the man still have been critically injured?"
The other clans present fell silent.
This judgment seemed to have a problem, or perhaps no problem.
After all, the troublemaker was indeed beaten, but the victim didn't suffer any harm and instead injured the troublemaker.
Ryōsuke laughed loudly upon hearing this.
"Danzō, you are truly too shameless. To actually shield the perpetrator like this. You should know that when a drunkard starts fighting, they have no rationality whatsoever."
"Would everyone here choose to run away and not fight back when being attacked?"
"Besides, if you run, can you definitely get away?"
"I believe that all the Clan Heads here would choose to fight back with all their might when facing an attack, rather than run away."
"That is a human's instinctual reaction."
"Although the result now is that the perpetrator was injured, can you say the perpetrator wasn't wrong?"
"In the final analysis, isn't it all the perpetrator's fault? If he hadn't made a move, he wouldn't have been injured."
"If our Uchiha clan punished the victim instead, then our Uchiha clan would be protecting the perpetrator."
"Perhaps Danzō has a sickness in his brain to support protecting the perpetrator, but my Uchiha clan will absolutely not make such a choice."
Danzō spoke furiously, "This is all twisted logic."
This time, not many people echoed Danzō, regardless of the right or wrong of the issue.
Because this Uchiha Ryōsuke was too crazy; he even angrily cursed Danzō for having no brain.
These small families dared not contend with him.
