Five different types of escape techniques, all kinds, densely packed, attacked Rukawa from all directions.

Rukawa leaped into the air and gave a disdainful sneer.

"You call this ninjutsu?! Now, I'll show you what real ninjutsu is!"

Rukawa formed hand seals, then opened his mouth and spat out a gigantic fireball.

—Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

However, the fireball's target was not the Konoha ninja below, but rather it shot straight into the night sky.

"Huh?! What's going on? Why is the attack being launched into the sky?"

A Konoha ninja asked in confusion.

And the next moment,

The pitch-black night sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and thunder began to rumble through the clouds.

Rukawa raised his right hand, lightning crackling in his palm.

Rumble...!

As if summoned by something, the lightning in the dark clouds burst forth.

In the next instant, countless bolts of lightning suddenly formed the head of a Qilin.

In an instant, night turned into day.

"What, what is this?! Is it a divine skill?! It can actually control the lightning in the sky for its own use!"

"What kind of monster are we fighting?!"

The group of Konoha ninja stared blankly at the terrifying lightning overhead.

Even before the attack landed, they already felt suffocated.

Swish! !

Rukawa swings his right arm down.

The next moment, as if receiving some command, the Qilin in the sky roared and charged out from the dark clouds.

—Lightning Release: Kirin!

"Quick! Defend together! We absolutely cannot let this spell reach the village!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, whose cheek was swollen and red from the beating, ignored the pain on his face and roared to remind everyone.

The Konoha ninjas, regaining their senses, formed hand seals and slammed their hands on the ground.

——Tudun·Tuliu City Wall!

With everyone working together, a huge earthen wall rose from the ground.

boom...!

The Qilin crashed into the earthen wall with a deafening roar.

Although they successfully defended against it, they also nearly depleted the chakra of all the Konoha ninjas.

As they watched Rukawa slowly fall from the sky, they finally felt fear.

Despite being a human, the sense of oppression he exerted on them was even stronger than that of the Nine-Tails back then.

"What exactly do you want?! Your sudden appearance in Konoha, are you trying to start a full-scale war with Konoha?"

Don't think that just because you have the upper hand now, you can take on the entire Hidden Leaf Village by yourself!

"Let me tell you, this is just the tip of the iceberg that Konoha has shown! Don't force me to die with you!"

"Sarutobi Hiruzen roared, his expression fierce but his inner strength dulled."

At this moment, he was already considering whether to use the "Corpse Demon Seal" to perish together with the guy in front of him.

Of course, this was only a last resort; he still wanted to make peace with Rukawa.

"What exactly is your purpose? Why attack Konoha without any reason? What has Konoha done to offend you?"

Or does Konoha have something you want? Or are you hired by another ninja village to cause trouble in Konoha?

"What exactly is the reason? Give me an explanation!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi loudly questioned.

They felt extremely aggrieved. When did Konoha have to compromise with an invader like this?

If Jiraiya and Tsunade were still in the village, and Minato hadn't died, this arrogant guy would still be running rampant in Konoha.

"They can't just come to Konoha and do evil just because they're strong!"

This is peacetime! What you're doing will land you on a joint wanted list by the five great ninja villages!

"At that time, there will be no place for you in the ninja world!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi warned sharply.

"I just want justice, justice for the Uchiha!"

Tonight, Danzo led a large number of Root ninjas to the outskirts of the Uchiha clan's territory. His purpose, needless to say, was to annihilate the Uchiha!

"Back then, the Uchiha and Senju joined forces to create Konoha. It's no exaggeration to say that the Uchiha were the true masters of Konoha!"

"But at this moment, the Uchiha clan is about to face annihilation..."

"I absolutely do not believe that Danzo, that bastard, was not acting on your orders, old man!"

Rukawa said indifferently, directly exposing Hiruzen Sarutobi's plan in front of everyone.

'Given their allegiance to the Uchiha, it seems this is indeed an outside help the Uchiha have brought in.'

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a slight unease, but his expression remained unchanged.

"So you were hired by the Uchiha. But I don't understand what you're talking about!"

Danzo's appearance on the outskirts of the Uchiha clan's territory was merely a pretense for the ninjas.

"The so-called extermination of the Uchiha clan is nothing but nonsense."

Now that almost all the village's ninjas are present, Hiruzen Sarutobi will absolutely not admit to the "Uchiha Clan Extermination Plan".

After all, he still had to maintain his image as a benevolent Hokage, and he couldn't commit such a brutal act as massacring the ninja clan.

He absolutely could not personally participate, so he could only trick Itachi into being the executioner, while he could simply sit back and enjoy the fruits of victory.

After a moment of contemplation, Hiruzen Sarutobi continued:

"Furthermore, although Elder Danzo's methods and style may be somewhat extreme..."

But his initial intention was all for the sake of Konoha, and I believe he would never harm a fellow villager!

"It's even less likely that you would carry out a so-called extermination of the entire clan. You are powerful, but you are far too naive..."

You're easily swayed by others; you've been deceived!

When Hiruzen Sarutobi said this, his eyes were fixed on Fugaku.

"Your Excellency has the ability and wants to uphold justice, which is a good thing, and I support you..."

But you must also have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. If you want to stand up for someone, you can't just believe one side of the story!

The third generation shook his head slightly, looking earnest and thoughtful.

"Extermination of the clan? Are you kidding me? I absolutely do not believe that Elder Danzo would do such a thing."

"This guy is indeed a muscle-bound, simple-minded brute. He believes whatever others say. He's so stupid."

"Elder Danzo has been quietly making sacrifices in the shadows for the sake of Konoha..."

How could an old man who dedicated his entire life to Konoha possibly harm someone from his own village!

“…”

Hiruzen Sarutobi's explanation was accepted by many Konoha ninja.

Everyone thought Rukawa was too stupid, easily deceived.

Fugaku's face was grim. He wanted to say something to point out the despicable acts between the Third Hokage and Danzo, but he didn't know what to say.

In terms of verbal skills, ten of them couldn't compare to that old fox, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and could only fume silently in their hearts.

"Ha! Old man, you really know how to spout nonsense!"

Rukawa gave a cold laugh.

"Your Excellency, please do not slander my noble character. Everything I have said is true, without the slightest falsehood!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's conclusion was decisive and resolute.

"You have no evidence, so don't make baseless accusations!"

He refused to believe that a muscle-bound brute who only knew how to fight could produce any evidence.

Therefore, at this moment, he felt fearless.

"You want evidence? Fine, I'll give you the evidence!"

Rukawa left those words behind, his figure vanished from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was holding someone in his hand.

It was Danzo, whose entire body was wrapped in bandages.

Danzo had now awakened. Having learned his lesson, he was now wiser in his dealings with Rukawa.

He didn't dare utter another word, but just stared at Rukawa with hatred in his eyes.

Tear! !

Rukawa swiftly and decisively ripped the bandages wrapped around Danzo's head.

He held Danzo's head in one hand, making him look up at the crowd.

Rukawa looked at the Third Hokage and questioned him sharply:

"Old man, look closely, what is this?"

At this moment, the bandages were removed, revealing the Sharingan in Danzo's right eye.

Although the pupils appear grayish-white, they are still recognizable at a glance as the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

"That's the Sharingan! Damn it, Danzo! Why does he have the Sharingan of our Uchiha clan?!"

"Damn it! That bastard must have attacked our people in secret, otherwise how would he have Sharingan!"

"That's actually the Mangekyou Sharingan! It's said that Shisui awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and then disappeared..."

Now, there's no doubt: Danzo is the murderer who killed Shisui.

“…”

The Uchiha clan members were filled with excitement, their crimson Sharingan eyes gleaming with an eerie light.

At this moment, they wished they could tear Danzo apart!

"Old man, you just kept saying that Danzo wouldn't attack ninjas from his own village..."

Then tell me, where did this guy's Sharingan come from?!

"Moreover, this is the Mangekyou Sharingan, the eye of Uchiha Shisui."

"Uchiha Shisui made great contributions to Konoha during the Third Shinobi World War and is a hero of Konoha."

"However, the hero of Konoha was cruelly poisoned by the village's higher-ups, his eyes were gouged out, and he died with his eyes wide open!"

"Is this what the Konoha leadership is all about? Making heroes bleed and weep!"

Rukawa stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said coldly:

"Right now, Danzo only has Shisui's Sharingan here. I have a lot of reason to suspect that the other eye is in your hands, you old man."

"Uchiha Shisui was murdered, and you old geezer might very well be one of the culprits!"

Rukawa questioned him sharply, his voice resounding throughout the area, ensuring that everyone present could hear him clearly.

His words, and the Sharingan clearly visible in Danzo's eyes, were nothing short of a slap in the face to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Just now, Hiruzen Sarutobi confidently assured Danzo that he wouldn't harm any ninja from his own village.

But the next moment, bloody evidence was laid out in front of everyone, and at that moment, everyone in the room was shocked.
