Chapter 116: The Truth Revealed
"Danzo, today I will kill you!"
The cold words gradually echoed.
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help shuddering and looked at Naruto.
Naruto held a black Zanpakutō, like a Shinigami, staring coldly at Danzo as he walked toward him step by step.
The killing intent in his eyes was undeniable. Very strong.
When Danzo saw this, he couldn't help being startled and took a few steps back.
But soon Danzo steadied himself, frowned, snorted coldly, and shouted angrily:
"Uzumaki Naruto! You have committed unforgivable crimes. Do you still want to kill an elder of Konoha?"
"Don't forget, you grew up in Konoha Village. Konoha raised you."
Danzo tried to use morality to trap Naruto, hoping to make him stop and not do anything worse.
But he didn't expect that when Naruto heard his words, the killing intent in Naruto's eyes grew even stronger. His grip on the Zanpakutō tightened.
Then Naruto stared at Danzo coldly, took a few deep breaths, and sneered:
"Konoha raised me?"
"Old man, aren't you ashamed to say that? Do you have no shame at all?"
Danzo felt no shame at all. Instead, he frowned and spoke coldly with righteous words:
"Hmph, what do you mean? Weren't you raised by Konoha? You were born in Konoha, and now you treat an elder of Konoha like this. Do you have no humanity? Are you worthy of Konoha's upbringing? I suggest you turn yourself in and confess your crimes. Repent. Otherwise, all ninja will despise you."
Before Danzo finished speaking, Naruto swung the Zanpakutō in his hand through the air.
The sharp blade cut through the air, bringing a whistling sound.
Hearing the sharp noise, Danzo was startled, froze for a moment, and quickly closed his mouth.
Then Naruto gritted his teeth in anger:
"Humanity? You're the one without humanity, you Konoha elder."
"Your so-called upbringing was to imprison me. To watch me all day long. To never let me have the slightest freedom."
"Your upbringing was to brainwash me into a living weapon. To make me your tool."
"Your upbringing was to let the people of Konoha abuse and beat me. Not only did you not stop them, but you called me a demon fox."
"Your upbringing was to direct the village's hatred toward me. To hide the truth."
"Your upbringing was to let an innocent child suffer so much injustice."
"Is that what you call raising and nurturing from Konoha? How ridiculous. How absurd."
"Why don't you try this kind of upbringing on yourself, you old monster? Come and experience thirteen years of darkness."
As he spoke, Naruto's anger poured out uncontrollably.
The killing intent in his eyes was so intense it seemed ready to explode. Everyone felt the cold murderous intent and couldn't help feeling as if they were standing in an ice cave.
At the same time, after hearing what Naruto said, they began to understand why Naruto had destroyed Konoha and why he hated it so much.
Anyone who suffered through all that would become as crazy as Naruto.
Then everyone couldn't help frowning and looking at Danzo with dark expressions. They didn't approve of Konoha's methods.
After hearing Naruto's words, Danzo also frowned deeply.
He hadn't expected Naruto to know so much. He had underestimated Naruto's hatred for Konoha.
Then Danzo snorted coldly but couldn't accept anything Naruto said.
In his eyes, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was just a tool for the village.
Then Danzo slammed his cane down hard. The wooden exterior shattered instantly, revealing a slender samurai sword inside.
Danzo gripped the samurai sword and said coldly:
"The reason Konoha did this was for the good of the village. Since you're so rebellious, I'll kill you here myself. Eliminate any future threat."
It seemed Danzo also knew that today's battle was unavoidable.
Naruto would never let him go.
Seeing Danzo preparing to fight, Naruto snorted coldly, holding his Zanpakutō ready to strike at any moment.
After drawing his samurai sword, Danzo didn't rush to attack. Instead, he shouted at everyone around him:
"Everyone, you've seen it. This Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is a traitor. Not only did he kill Konoha's Third Hokage, but now he's trying to kill a Konoha elder. This man has lost his humanity and cannot be controlled. Why don't you join me in killing him before he brings more disaster to the ninja world?"
But this time, no one responded to Danzo.
Both the Tsuchikage and Raikage frowned and didn't express their opinions lightly.
Putting aside who was right or wrong, the strength Naruto had just shown made them think twice.
More importantly, Danzo's methods disgusted them as well.
Seeing everyone silent, heads lowered and hesitating, with no one answering him, Danzo froze for a moment.
Then Danzo glared at everyone's faces with a dark expression and said:
"Have you forgotten that this man just declared war on the ninja world? We must unite now and kill him."
Hearing Danzo's words, everyone began to hesitate about helping Danzo.
Just as everyone was hesitating, Uchiha Obito, who had been watching the whole time, suddenly spoke.
Uchiha Obito sneered, his scarlet Sharingan looking at Danzo with disdain, and said contemptuously:
"Unite? Those words sound strange coming from Konoha's Danzo."
"By the way, have you ever wondered why we knew the time and place of the Five Kage Summit so accurately?"
After hearing Uchiha Obito's words, the Raikage, Tsuchikage, and Kazekage Gaara were stunned. They looked at Uchiha Obito suspiciously.
That was right. It had always been a mystery to them how he could appear here.
Although the Five Kage Summit was known throughout the ninja world, only the five great nations really knew when the meeting would start.
Other smaller countries only knew Konoha would host it, but not when it would begin.
Yet Uchiha Obito had appeared right as the meeting started. It was very puzzling. How did Akatsuki know?
Naruto knowing was understandable. They already knew from Terumi Mei that Naruto was with her. No surprise there. Terumi Mei must have told Naruto.
But Akatsuki—how did they know so clearly?
"What do you mean?" Onoki asked, frowning.
Uchiha Obito smiled, looked at Danzo meaningfully, and slowly sneered:
"Because someone deliberately sent us the information."
"And the person who told us this news was a Root ninja from Konoha. Isn't that right, Danzo?"
"A Root ninja. One of yours, Danzo."
