"You are not allowed to insult Lord Danzō! If you continue like this, we will take action!"
Seeing that Lord Danzō was being pushed into a corner, unable to refute a single word, the leading Root subordinate finally panicked and spoke up first.
"Waaah—Root is going to beat someone up now! Bullying a five- or six-year-old child like me from a position of power!"
Ning Feng immediately put on a pitiful, frightened act, curling up into a small ball as if terrified.
Given Ning Feng's young age, his appearance was already innocent and adorable. Once he pretended to be weak like this, he looked even more harmless, his face full of childish innocence.
Seeing this, the surrounding people immediately stepped forward, positioning themselves in front of Ning Feng and shielding him behind them.
"Hmph! A dignified Konoha high-ranking official trying to hurt a child—aren't you afraid of becoming a laughingstock if this gets out!?"
Several Konoha villagers stood up righteously as they spoke.
The Root member who had been about to make a move finally realized he might have caused serious trouble. He froze on the spot, unsure whether to strike or hold back.
"That's enough. Step back."
Danzō shot Ning Feng a vicious look. Only now did he truly understand just how terrifying this little brat was.
And judging by the surroundings, the crowd of onlookers was growing larger and larger. If this wasn't handled properly, Hiruzen Sarutobi would have every excuse to force him out of power.
On the surface, Ning Feng seemed to be merely causing a scene, but in reality, he was extraordinarily difficult to deal with.
After the Root member retreated, Danzō quickly put on a placating smile and spoke to Ning Feng in a gentle tone:
"Little one, you must have been misled by someone, right?"
"These things you're talking about—I, Danzō, have not done a single one of them. Someone must be slandering me. Yes, that must be it."
Seeing Danzō trying to shift the blame, Ning Feng tilted his head and said in an innocent voice:
"But Lord Danzō, isn't your secret base clearly conducting Sharingan experiments?"
In the original story, Danzō had more than once carried out Sharingan experiments in secret facilities jointly established with Orochimaru.
In any case—first scare Danzō stiff, then talk!
"How is that possible!? How could my secret base be conducting Sharingan experiments!?"
Danzō reflexively denied it—but the moment the words left his mouth, he realized he had misspoken.
"A Konoha high-ranking official… actually has a secret base!?"
"I told you before—this Shimura Danzō is no good. Sure enough, he really does have his own secret base!"
"A man like this is one of Konoha's leaders? Are the village elders blind!?"
In an instant, the Konoha villagers erupted into heated discussion. No one had expected Danzō to possess a secret base.
Even an idiot could tell—when a high-ranking official has a secret base, it's hard not to suspect something shady.
Just as Danzō was about to speak again and struggle to explain himself, several figures in Konoha Military Police uniforms rushed over from the distance.
They were members of the Uchiha clan.
The one at the front was none other than Fugaku Uchiha.
"Lord Danzō, someone has just reported that you are suspected of harming Konoha's interests, and even of having connections with the rogue ninja Orochimaru. Please come with us."
As he spoke, Fugaku cast a deep look at Ning Feng.
In truth, the Uchiha clan had long found Danzō unbearable and wished to eliminate him. However, Danzō's power ran deep, and as a high-ranking official, he could influence many of Konoha's decisions regarding the Uchiha clan.
That was why the Uchiha had endured him all this time.
Now that Ning Feng had caused such a commotion in public, giving the Uchiha clan a perfect pretext, they naturally seized the opportunity to give Danzō a lesson—especially as the Military Police.
Of course, Fugaku's position alone wasn't enough to truly arrest Danzō, but that didn't stop him from making a move.
"Uchiha Fugaku, are you sure you want to arrest me!?"
Danzō frowned deeply. All he wanted was to recruit Ning Feng—and maybe take his Sharingan for some research.
Yet this brat had actually drawn in Fugaku and the rest!?
And judging from Fugaku's posture, this was clearly a case of protecting the cub—afraid he'd arrive even a moment too late.
"I dare anyone to move!"
At that moment, one of Danzō's subordinates suddenly shouted harshly, pulling out kunai and shuriken.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
In an instant, not only Fugaku, but all the Uchiha clan members beside him activated their crimson Sharingan—many with two tomoe, some even with three.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
More sharp whistling sounds followed as even more Uchiha clan members arrived, their Sharingan blazing.
At the front were Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi.
It was clear that these Uchiha frequently glanced toward Ning Feng, their gazes filled with gratitude.
For years—ever since the end of the Third Shinobi World War—the Uchiha clan had been increasingly ostracized by Konoha. Many village ninja even avoided interacting with them.
Yet the Uchiha remained loyal and hardworking.
But what had all their sacrifices earned them in the end?
Nothing but suspicion, exclusion, and distrust.
And the chief culprit behind all of this was none other than the power-hungry Shimura Danzō.
Ning Feng's words just now weren't only spoken on behalf of the Uchiha clan—they were also an outlet for all the anger the clan had suppressed for so long.
Only now did Itachi and Shisui realize something astonishing:
The Uchiha clan had never been this united before.
And all of it was because of one person—Uchiha Feng.
"So troublesome…"
Danzō felt the situation spiraling out of control, his cold gaze inevitably landing on Ning Feng.
This was the first time he had ever seen the Uchiha clan so completely united.
Fugaku looked coldly at Danzō and raised a hand, blocking Danzō's line of sight toward Ning Feng.
"Oh, one more thing, Lord Danzō. If you dare lay a hand on Uchiha Feng, the Uchiha clan will hunt you down without end."
"Even if it costs us every last member."
Itachi said nothing. He simply stepped forward, his three-tomoe Sharingan locking onto Danzō with icy intent—clearly saying: If you do it, I will chase you to the ends of the earth.
As for Shisui, he slowly drew the blade at his waist.
"That's right. Even if we are forced into exile as rogue ninja, we will still hunt you down—if you dare harm even a single hair on Uchiha Feng's head."
