"Just making use of trash. Since the Uchiha clan has rebelled, transplanting their Sharingan from their corpses into my body is a way of atoneing for their sins and contributing to the village."
Danzo sneered.
Human experimentation was strictly forbidden in Konoha. Orochimaru had defected from the village because his human experiments were discovered.
However, the Uchiha clan was already considered traitors, and he had gouged eyes from corpses. While he still couldn't escape punishment, his status wouldn't warrant too severe consequences.
With the help of his two advisors, Tsunade couldn't do anything to him.
Just like the Third Hokage couldn't do anything to him back then.
After the Uchiha massacre, he was relieved of his position as Hokage's assistant by the Third Hokage, and even his Root organization was forcibly disbanded.
But what happened later?
With the help of his two advisors, who wanted to counterbalance the Third Hokage, his Root organization was rebuilt, even stronger than before.
And then there was his collaboration with Orochimaru in conducting human experiments. They wanted to use the First Hokage's cells to create powerful Konoha ninja.
Later, the Third Hokage didn't pursue the matter too much, only taking away Yamato, the last surviving experimental subject.
"You!"
Tsunade's veins bulged on her face, her anger almost reaching its peak. Naruto also gritted his teeth, clearly furious at Danzo's act of digging up a corpse.
Fortunately, Shizune, Kakashi, Shikamaru, and Asuma were relatively rational and managed to restrain the two.
Given the reputation and power of the two advisors and Danzo in the village, acting without sufficient evidence would have unimaginable consequences.
Especially now that Konoha was facing an impending attack from the Akatsuki.
However, just when Danzo thought the situation was settled and that he could easily smooth things over by making some concessions, a voice suddenly rang out beside Shikamaru: "You were lying!"
"Who!"
Everyone was startled by the sudden voice. Everyone looked towards Shikamaru's side and saw Goku, who had appeared there unnoticed.
Actually, Goku had already teleported there when Danzo began recounting the truth about the Uchiha clan massacre.
However, because he maintained his normal Transparent World mode and didn't intentionally release his ki, no one noticed his presence.
After listening to Danzo's account, his intuition told him that Danzo wasn't telling the truth, so he directly used the Legilimency technique on Danzo.
Danzo's right eye and left arm had considerable spiritual energy, but it wasn't very compatible with Danzo's body.
Therefore, Goku easily broke through the barrier and saw the memory of the Uchiha clan massacre.
"Itachi Uchiha did tell you about the Uchiha clan's rebellion, but the Third Hokage advocated for a peaceful approach to appease the Uchiha clan and resolve the problem."
"You threatened Itachi Uchiha with Sasuke Uchiha's life, forcing him to cooperate with Akatsuki to exterminate the entire clan, and then infiltrated Akatsuki as a rogue ninja to gather intelligence for the village.
At the same time, you attacked Shisui Uchiha and stole one of his Mangekyou Sharingan.
Because his Mangekyou Sharingan possessed the strongest genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami, he wanted to use it to stop the Uchiha rebellion.
And you always wanted to destroy the Uchiha clan, not wanting him to ruin it."
At this point, Goku's tone was extremely angry; he felt Danzo was utterly wicked.
So he continued to delve deeper into Danzo's memories:
"You once attempted to assassinate the Third Hokage to obtain the title of Hokage.
You joined forces with Hanzo of the Salamander to destroy Akatsuki, a peace-loving organization in Amegakure, wanting to obtain the Rinnegan power of a certain Akatsuki member."
"Ultimately, the Akatsuki failed, leading to a shift within the organization, and a descent into extremism.
You and Orochimaru captured civilians and children for human experimentation.
You blackmailed the kind orphanage director, making Kabuto Yakushi a spy for you, and ultimately orchestrated Kabuto's accidental killing of the director, thus erasing his humanity and turning him into your tool.
During the Nine-Tails incident, you prevented the Anbu from participating in the battle in order to seize power.
To seize power, you secretly aided Orochimaru in launching the Konoha Crush plan.
You manipulated the Root ninja, erasing their humanity, training them into killing machines."
Goku grew increasingly angry as he watched, while Tsunade and the others found it increasingly unbelievable.
They knew Danzo's character and that he had undoubtedly done many terrible things in secret, but they never expected him to go this far.
Even if Danzo's reasons for doing these things were truly devoid of any personal feelings and were entirely for the benefit of Konoha, it was still unforgivable.
Today you can do so many inhuman and morally bankrupt things for the benefit of Konoha.
Then tomorrow you can sacrifice anyone in the village for the benefit of Konoha.
In other words, if the village has one hundred people, you can sacrifice forty-nine without hesitation to save the remaining fifty-one.
Regardless of whether the forty-nine people want to be sacrificed.
You could even have all one hundred people sacrificed, then save only yourself, because you believe you represent the legacy of Konoha, and that you can make Konoha shine again.
So, what do you truly care about in terms of Konoha's interests—the people of Konoha or the name of Konoha itself?
If everything can be forgiven simply by using the pretext of acting in Konoha's best interests, that's utterly ridiculous.
"Nonsense! Don't slander me! I've never done such things!"
Danzo, enraged, pointed at Goku and shouted, "Tell me, which village are you a spy from? Are you trying to incite internal strife in your village so you can seize the opportunity to annex Konoha?"
The two advisors immediately sided with Danzo:
"Princess Tsunade, don't listen to this brat's one-sided story. Danzo would never do such things. This brat has only been in Konoha for a day and has already caused so much trouble; there's definitely something fishy going on."
"You two too, you've cooperated with him a lot, you know most of these things, but you've only been helping him to limit the Hokage's power."
Goku looked at Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu; he could see many scenes of the three of them plotting in Danzo's mind.
"Insolence! How dare you even slander us! Tsunade, this is the person you recruited into Konoha? You've utterly disappointed us!"
The expressions on Mitokado Homura's and Utatane Koharu's faces also changed.
"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out by interrogation. Ibiki, take Lord Danzo down there and see for yourself!"
Compared to Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, she trusted the simple and kind-hearted Goku more.
"Ibiki, you mustn't be rude to Danzo!"
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu shouted angrily at Ibiki, who was walking towards Danzo. Ibiki's steps immediately hesitated.
"Ibiki!"
Tsunade's voice rang out again, and Ibiki's steps immediately became firm.
"Tsunade, although you are the Hokage, you cannot act arbitrarily. If the two advisors agree, the three of us have the right to remove you from your Hokage position!"
Danzo ignored Ibiki's approach, his tone indifferent.
If Tsunade were to completely turn against the two advisors now, it would actually be a good thing, because the two advisors would also completely side with him.
Then, the three of them could join forces to remove Tsunade from her Hokage position, and he could become the Sixth Hokage.
"Tsunade, if you disregard the overall situation and insist on interrogating Danzo, then there's no need to continue as Hokage!"
The two advisors had made up their minds.
If Tsunade tortured Danzo today, she'd dare torture them tomorrow; this kind of behavior absolutely couldn't continue.
Instantly, a dozen or so ninjas appeared around them to protect them.
"I won't? Fine, I won't! I've wanted to quit for a long time!"
Tsunade angrily punched the wall beside her, blasting a large hole in it.
She couldn't stand these old fogies anymore.
Just then, an angry Goku suddenly appeared in front of Danzo.
Then, without hesitation, he punched Danzo in the stomach.
The terrifying speed and immense power left Danzo no time to react; he was instantly obliterated.
"If you don't believe what I'm saying, then I also know a bit of martial arts!"
