The other four clan heads were also conflicted deep down. If they followed the Police Force regulations, taking a life indeed required paying with one's life.
But were the village regulations truly applicable to the Third Hokage?
Using Police Force regulations to judge the Kage, the leader of the village, would be a first in the ninja world.
Ryōsuke spoke up at this moment.
"Actually, why not hand the Third Hokage over to all the Clan Heads of Konoha for judgment?"
"The other four clan heads must have made discoveries in Danzō's laboratory. Just organize that into a file, and then our Uchiha Clan will convene a Clan Head level meeting to put the Third Hokage on trial."
"I believe the village won't have any objections to this."
In Danzō's laboratory, there must surely be very evil things.
Although those things belonged to Danzō, that didn't mean they couldn't splash this dirty water onto the Third Hokage.
Furthermore, the Third Hokage bore responsibility himself.
If such matters were exposed, it would be enough to change the impression the villagers and ninjas had of the Third Hokage, making such a trial symbolize justice.
The Third Hokage was startled when he heard this.
'You can't do this?'
In Danzō's laboratory, there was equipment from the human experiments Danzō had conducted, as well as various tools.
After he had taken Danzō's subordinates and laboratory into his own possession, he had also discovered shocking things inside, even Senju Nawaki's internal organs.
He hadn't expected Danzō to dare lay a hand on that person; he was truly a madman.
If this matter were exposed, he, the Third Hokage, would hardly be able to absolve himself of the blame, and his reputation would be completely ruined because of Danzō.
The Third Hokage's reaction piqued Ryōsuke's interest slightly.
"The Third Hokage is so nervous; are there some good things in Danzō's Root base?"
"Four clan heads, did you discover anything?"
The four clan heads were all somewhat helpless. Human experimentation obviously violated the village's rules.
If such news leaked out, the entire village would likely panic, and they, the ninjas, would be scolded.
The Yamanaka Clan Head spoke frankly.
"We did indeed find some inhumane things. I'm afraid these things really cannot be leaked."
"If they are leaked, the whole village will be terrified, and the credit and prestige of the ninjas will drop to the lowest point."
Nara Shikaku didn't even dare to mention the matter regarding Senju Nawaki.
The impact of such a thing was even more vile, potentially making the Leaf Village a disgrace among the Five Great Ninja Villages.
He hadn't expected such shameful things to happen within the village.
One had to know that the entire village relied on the protection of the two Hokage, Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama.
Yet, the descendant of the hero who protected the entire Leaf Village was actually killed with the connivance of the inheriting Hokage.
And it was the only direct descendant; committing such an act was simply devoid of humanity.
Hearing the Yamanaka Clan Head say this, Ryōsuke became even more interested.
This was good. How could they not make full use of something that struck at the Third Hokage?
If these things were exposed, then a Clan Head level meeting to judge the Third Hokage would face no objections.
It could completely minimize the negative impact, or even reduce it to nothing.
He spoke up.
"Even so, we cannot cover up the truth just because it affects the village. We must correct ourselves before we can make changes."
"Alright, you four families and the Hyūga family organize the data found in Danzō's base, and we will convene a Clan Head level meeting the day after tomorrow."
"Also, announce today's events publicly. Don't let those villagers speculate groundlessly and affect the stability of the village."
Fugaku was very happy in his heart. Convening a Clan Head level meeting to judge the Third Hokage.
This time, the Third was likely going to be completely ruined.
Looking at what the four clan heads had just said, it was clear.
The secrets hidden inside the Root base were shocking.
Once leaked, even if it struck at the prestige of the ninjas, it would strike the Third Hokage first. The Uchiha Clan could just slowly improve things afterward.
Moreover, it wasn't even necessary; since the villagers already feared the Uchiha Clan, there probably wouldn't be anyone daring to cause trouble.
The four clan heads were also left speechless.
The Uchiha Clan was dead set on completely destroying the Third Hokage.
They didn't dare to oppose it either.
The Third Hokage's face was ashen iron; he couldn't speak, his heart had gone completely cold, and a lifetime of fame was about to be destroyed.
Afterward, Fugaku sent people to notify the various clan heads to convene the meeting.
He also informed the villagers of the reason for the village-wide search and the truth about the Third Hokage killing the Anbu, Shisui.
This news instantly spread throughout the village.
The villagers simply couldn't believe it.
The always kind and wise Third Hokage had actually done such a thing.
"Did you hear? The Third Hokage actually killed his own Anbu member, Uchiha Shisui."
"How is that possible? Is Shisui really dead?"
"How is it impossible? The search was to find Shisui's corpse. I saw the Ino-Shika-Chō Police Force members bringing Shisui's body back to the Police Force branch myself."
"This is really serious. I don't know what kind of punishment the Third Hokage will receive. After all, he is the highest-ranking person in the village."
