$ Chapter 52 Danzo Festival, Uchiha’s great day 2
Konoha Village, Memorial Square.
The wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
On this spring day, most of the villagers in Konoha Village were uniformly dressed in black and came here to respond to the Hokage's call to attend Danzo's funeral.
Sarutobi Hiruzen stood alone in front of the tombstone, glanced at everyone, and frowned.
He winked to the side, and an ANBU member immediately appeared next to him.
"What's going on? The number of people who came is wrong. There's a lot less... and why are they all men? Are there so few women in the village?"
"Hokage-sama, the Uchiha clan members...are not here."
"Huh? Didn't my subordinates inform them?"
"Notified, but didn't come."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression darkened, and then he shook his head: "Forget it, if you don't come, don't come..."
He knew the reason why Xia Yu didn't come. After all, Xia Yu knew the truth about Danzo.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to attack Danzo...
Halfway through the funeral ceremony, after everyone laid white flowers in front of Danzo's tombstone, Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed twice and prepared to tell everyone something.
But before he could speak.
Suddenly there were explosions in the sky not far away.
"Boom! Dang!"
"Bang! Crackling..."
Everyone heard the sound and looked around.
"What's the sound? Did Danzo fake the corpse? Or was the grave struck by lightning?"
"No, it's fireworks! Someone is setting off fireworks in the village!"
"Good fellow, who is so bold as to set off fireworks on Danzo-sama's memorial day?"
"Looking in this direction, it seems to be over there with the Uchiha clan..."
"I remember that Danzo-sama was pulled down by Xia Yu of the Uchiha clan. He chooses to set off fireworks at this time, tsk tsk..."
"Seize the bamboo shoots, seize the bamboo shoots!"
…
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned livid, and he immediately ordered the ANBU beside him: "Go and see what the Uchiha are doing?"
"yes!"
The ANBU acted with great vigor and resoluteness.
Within a few minutes, the ANBU members returned to Sarutobi Hiruzen's side.
"Lord Hokage, U...Uchiha Natsuyu...is holding a wedding..."
"Wedding? Didn't he have one a year ago?"
"Uh, Lord Hokage, this time... is the wedding of Xia Yu and his new wives..."
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was almost furious at this moment, Xia Yu really didn't give him face.
But Hiruzen Sarutobi knew how to play this little trick of hiding his emotions and anger clearly. He smiled slightly:
"Forget it, it doesn't matter. Maybe it just happened to happen. After Danzo's funeral is over, you can follow me to the Uchiha clan."
"Yes! Hokage-sama."
After the instructions, Hiruzen Sarutobi walked to the center: "Everyone, stop looking at the fireworks. Come, look at me. At the end of this funeral, I have a few words to say."
After hearing this, everyone looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"First of all, I am very grateful to everyone for coming here to attend Danzo's funeral. Let's talk about his achievements first. Danzo served as a soldier of our Konoha Village all his life. He is now 65 years old. This life can be considered a great success."
"Secondly, I will tell you about his sins. This is what you are most concerned about."
Hearing this, everyone craned their necks.
This is not gossip, but they really don't know what Danzo's crime is. How big of a crime would it take to force this strong man to commit suicide?
The clan heads of each family, including all the ninjas who participated in the battle between Xia Yu and Danzo that day, were also very curious. After all, it had been so long and Lord Hokage had not given a clear explanation on the matter.
It seems that breaking news is coming...
Sarutobi Hiruzen paused and continued:
"He has three crimes. One: two and a half years ago, Uchiha Shisui, the genius ninja of the Uchiha clan, was killed by Danzo and took off his Sharingan for his own use."
"???"
As soon as these words came out, there was deathly silence below.
However, before everyone could recover, Hiruzen Sarutobi's next words directly destroyed everyone's understanding of Danzo.
"Second crime: Danzo actively transplanted the cells of Konoha's first Hokage into himself."
"The third crime is also the most important crime: on the night of the Uchiha genocide a year and a half ago, Danzo was the real mastermind!"
"He coveted the power of the Uchiha Sharingan, and brainwashed the young and ignorant Uchiha Itachi to kill all his people. After that, Danzo took the Sharingan from the corpses of the Uchiha people and installed it on his own arm..."
"After all his crimes were exposed, Danzo committed suicide in the mental hospital early this morning because he could not bear the tremendous pressure, or perhaps because he felt guilty for the upbringing he received from his ancestors in the village..."
These words are like bombs, bombarding everyone's heart infinitely.
"Wait a minute...Uchiha Shisui was killed by Danzo??"
"How could Danzo do this! Shunshen Shisui made great contributions to Konoha during the Third Ninja War! As long as he hears his name, ninjas from other countries will have no choice but to flee! "
"By treating the hero of the village like this, Danzo isn't afraid of chilling our hearts!"
"How dare you have the nerve to transplant Hashirama-sama's cells? He is putting the ancestors in the dark again!"
"It turns out the rumor about Sharingan's arm is true!"
"He has committed so many crimes against Uchiha! No wonder Xia Yu wants to cause trouble for him!"
"If I were Xia Yu, believe it or not, I could peel off Danzo's skin!"
The people of Konoha Village cursed.
Although the ninjas with a certain status were also very indignant, they did not express their emotions in words, but looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen on the stage.
They were a little confused.
Generally, such scandals within the upper echelons are always digested internally, and big things are reduced to small things, and small things are reduced to nothing.
Not to mention such explosive news.
However, today, the Hokage actually broke it himself!
Obviously, he had tried his best to cover it up before, but now he has revealed everything!
Nara Shikaku looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's calm appearance. Although he was also shocked by these "truths", he would never have thought that the Hokage would make these public.
"Hokage... What's wrong with you? Why do I not understand all the things you have done recently..."
Nara Shikaku felt that the Hokage seemed to have become a different person.
"Haiyi, Dingzuo, I have a bad feeling. I'm afraid that Konoha will change soon..."
"Boom! Bang! Bang..."
The sky above the Uchiha clan is still ringing, echoing for a long time...
...
