Ryōsuke smiled and said, "If Lord Danzō thinks my logic is twisted, then naturally you support the idea that when attacked, one shouldn't fight back, and choosing to run away is the correct course of action."
"Then I'll put my harsh words out here: from now on, every time I meet Lord Danzō, I will attack. If Danzō chooses to flee, does that mean you'll have to stay far away from me in the future?"
"Only if Danzō chooses to go that far are you qualified to question the judgment of my Uchiha Clan."
Hearing this, Danzō was furious. "You dare attack me? That is treason against the village!"
Ryōsuke spoke slowly. "I was merely giving an example. I didn't expect Lord Danzō to take it seriously. Can you not handle a joke? To actually falsely accuse my Uchiha Clan of treason again at a Clan Head meeting... does Lord Danzō understand the punishment for treason?"
Danzō snorted coldly. "Some things cannot be joked about."
"The Uchiha Clan has betrayed the village and should be exterminated."
Danzō threw out these harsh words; he was truly feeling too stifled today. The opponent was so arrogant, yet he couldn't refute him. If it were the Uchiha Clan of the past, they would never have dared to target him like this. When had he ever been this frustrated?
Ryōsuke laughed loudly. "Well said, Lord Danzō. Indeed, some words shouldn't be spoken carelessly."
"Since Danzō thinks our Uchiha Clan is betraying the village, then please produce the evidence. Right now, immediately."
The Mangekyō Sharingan in his pupils bloomed with crimson light. If the other party couldn't produce evidence, he was going to make his move.
And it was impossible for the other party to produce it. Because the Uchiha Clan had never been traitors.
Hearing this, Danzō froze for a moment. Did one even need to ask for evidence?
A sneer appeared on his face. "Is it not true that your Uchiha Clan intends to usurp the position of Hokage?"
"What else does your clan have to say?"
Even the other clans knew of the Uchiha Clan's ambition.
Ryōsuke laughed uproariously. "Danzō, I have to say, you really are an idiot."
"Who told you that seeking the position of Hokage counts as treason?"
"A ninja who doesn't want to be Hokage isn't a good ninja."
"Without such ambition, how can one protect the village?"
Everyone present looked at Uchiha Ryōsuke. They didn't expect this man to openly express his desire to seize the position of Hokage.
It sounded quite reasonable.
However, for the Third Hokage, these words left a very bad taste in his mouth. This was clearly an attempt to drive him out of office.
Shimura Danzō sneered. "Wanting to usurp the Hokage seat... if not treason, then what is it?"
In his eyes, this clan wanting to lay a finger on the Hokage seat was a sin.
Ryōsuke didn't want to waste any more words with this guy.
"Everyone heard Danzō's words. Such ignorance."
"My Uchiha Clan wants to seize the Hokage seat only to better protect the village."
"Just for this, we are slandered as traitors, and he even wants to plunge my Uchiha Clan into a situation of eternal damnation."
"Does the Leaf Village still have laws?"
"Oh, my Uchiha Clan is the law of the Leaf Village."
"I sentence Shimura Danzō to death."
Chakra surged from his body, and the exoskeleton expanded again, growing a skull and a skeletal torso.
Everyone present turned pale with shock, and the Third Hokage, seeing the situation, immediately tried to stop it. "What are you doing? Stop at once!"
Uchiha Ryōsuke laughed loudly. "This guy falsely accused my Uchiha Clan; he truly deserves to die."
At the same time, he controlled the giant fist of Susanoo to smash toward Shimura Danzō.
Danzō had been on high alert the moment Uchiha Ryōsuke unleashed such a massive Susanoo. He moved one step ahead, breaking through the window and escaping.
Since it was his first time using Susanoo in this form, Ryōsuke used a bit too much force and couldn't control it immediately. He smashed right through the wall, destroying it.
However, this worked out perfectly. He used the large hole to chase directly after him. He absolutely could not let this guy get away this time.
The figures of the two men vanished from the meeting hall just like that.
Everyone present was dumbfounded, their expressions changing drastically. A member of the Uchiha Clan had actually publicly sentenced Danzō to death and then executed the sentence on the spot.
This? How did he dare?
The Third Hokage was also dumbfounded. This guy actually wanted to execute Danzō right in front of him, the Hokage. Where was his dignity supposed to go?
He immediately looked at Fugaku. "Clan Head Fugaku, stop Uchiha Ryōsuke from committing murder immediately!"
Fugaku spoke helplessly. "I'm afraid I don't have the ability to stop Ryōsuke."
"Moreover, Uchiha Ryōsuke is currently the spokesperson for the Uchiha Clan, which naturally makes him the spokesperson for the Leaf Village Military Police Force."
"Danzō kept slandering the Uchiha Clan as traitors; he dug his own grave."
The Third Hokage looked furious. "Your Uchiha Clan is truly too bold. If you dare to kill Danzō, then you are guilty of treason!"
Fugaku retorted with a question of his own. "Just now, when Danzō falsely accused our Uchiha Clan of treason, why didn't I see the Third Hokage come out and say a word of justice?"
"You must know that treason is a grave crime. Since Danzō slandered our Uchiha Clan like that, shouldn't he receive the same punishment?"
The Third Hokage was exasperated. "You Uchiha acting like this... if not treason, then what is it?"
