Chapter 145 Tsunade: Danzo, you old dog, you deserve to die! [First Update]
Back then, whether it was Konoha's White Fang, the Legendary Sannin, or the Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze, they were all already Kage-level ninjas at that age, and their names were already known throughout the ninja world.
In other words, Konoha has a complete gap in its young, top-tier fighters.
Although the level of Jonin is not bad, in her eyes, the level of Jonin can be cultivated step by step. As long as you find a genius and invest resources, it is not difficult to cultivate him to the level of Jonin.
However, reaching the Kage level requires talent!
Therefore, every Kage-level ninja is very important to the village, but Konoha is now in complete disarray.
Not to mention the Akatsuki leader mentioned in Kitahara Kaede's diary, who destroyed the entire Hidden Leaf Village with a single move.
That kind of terrifying existence, even her great-grandfather, who was known as the God of Ninjas, probably couldn't have done it back then, right?
"Uchiha brats," Tsunade muttered to herself.
She had heard Danzo constantly mutter about the Uchiha being inherently evil.
However, on this issue, she inherited the attitude of her great-grandfather, Hashirama Senju, and had no prejudice against the Uchiha clan.
The fact that both Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha were able to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan shocked her, highlighting the exceptional quality of the Fugaku Uchiha bloodline.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Fugaku Uchiha had also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. This was no surprise; it was quite normal.
However, what followed made her eyes widen in anger.
She saw that during the process of Sasuke Uchiha defeating Danzo Shimura, Danzo first displayed a full set of Sharingan eyes, something that could only be obtained by killing countless members of the Uchiha clan.
"Disturbing the dead, using the dead as experimental tools, Danzo!" Tsunade was furious, and then something even more infuriating happened.
Danzo Shimura actually modified his entire arm, incorporating cells from his great-grandfather, Hashirama Senju.
No wonder the whole arm looks weird.
The Senju and Uchiha clans, two powerful clans, serve you. How could your fortune be small?
"Ugh, that damned old dog Danzo!"
Tsunade finally snapped out of her rage; the thought of having the Sharingan from the Uchiha clan attached to her hand was already disgusting to her.
However, what truly broke her defenses was Danzo Shimura's transplantation of Hashirama Senju's cells, which directly shattered her defenses.
Although she wasn't completely unaware beforehand, and although she left Konoha because she couldn't stand these dark sides and because of her emotional trauma, she still completely lost her composure when she witnessed this scene firsthand.
This completely contradicts the Will of Fire that she was taught by the three Hokage since childhood.
"That old dog Danzo, good riddance!"
When Tsunade saw that Uchiha Sasuke had killed Danzo, and that Danzo had been so angry that he had only managed to seal one bridge, she felt incredibly relieved.
It's as refreshing as drinking a cold soda on a hot summer day.
It's good that she died; it even made her more accepting of Sasuke Uchiha's betrayal of the village.
After all, if you think about it carefully, she's now only one wanted poster away from betraying the village.
The three legendary ninjas are basically all like this, the only difference being that one of them has a wanted poster, while the other two don't and are just wandering around aimlessly.
Tsunade slapped the water's surface and couldn't help but laugh, her large breasts barely visible as they drifted with the current.
Then she noticed something: Kitahara Kaede's diary mentioned a name, Uzumaki Kaori, the unlucky girl who was stabbed by Uchiha Sasuke.
She didn't care much about anything else, but she was still somewhat concerned about the Uzumaki clan, because the Uzumaki and Senju clans were considered brother clans, and it was said that they actually shared the same ancestor.
Intermarriage between the two clans is also common. For example, her grandmother was a princess of the Uzumaki clan who later married into the Senju clan. Later, when Konoha was established and needed Jinchuriki, her grandmother became the first Jinchuriki.
The second-generation Jinchuriki was also Kushina Uzumaki from the Uzumaki clan.
It wasn't until the third Jinchuriki, who is now Naruto Uzumaki.
They are mostly members of the Uzumaki clan.
The Uzumaki clan members are born with enormous chakra reserves and excellent physical abilities, making them natural candidates for Jinchūriki (golden boy) positions.
However, the destruction of Uzushio Village was too rapid back then, and even the people of Konoha did not have time to rescue them. They only managed to bring Kushina Uzumaki back to Konoha, and now there are still scattered clansmen wandering in the ninja world.
For example, Jiraiya once mentioned to her that he had taken on several disciples in Amegakure, one of whom, Nagato Uzumaki, was a member of the Uzumaki clan.
This couldn't help but make her sigh.
The Uchiha clan, the Senju clan, the Uzumaki clan—weren't they all renowned and powerful clans during the Warring States period?
Where are they now?
The swallows that once graced the halls of the Wang and Xie families now fly into the homes of ordinary people.
After calming herself down, Tsunade continued reading.
Boruto Uzumaki, Sarada Uchiha?
It seems they are descendants of those two brats.
Tsunade thought about it and realized it. Normally, given her status and rank, she shouldn't have cared about those two brats. However, Kitahara Kaede had mentioned them in her diary early on, saying that they were the future saviors.
Ordinary people are one thing, but since he is a savior, everything is completely different.
Immediately, she saw how Orochimaru coveted Sasuke Uchiha's body, and how Sasuke Uchiha then killed him.
Seeing her former friend end up like this, dying at the hands of a mere brat, she still felt a pang of sadness.
However, upon seeing how Orochimaru launched the Konoha Collapse Plan, her first reaction was to be furious.
"Orochimaru, how dare you!"
Tsunade was so angry that her chest shook.
However, after witnessing how the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, fought a bloody battle with Orochimaru before gloriously dying, he realized that...
Even though she ultimately failed to defeat Orochimaru and only managed to take away his hands, Tsunade felt that the old man had nothing to criticize in this battle.
"The old man is getting old after all."
Tsunade sighed.
Although she still harbored resentment towards the higher-ups of Konoha, after witnessing how the Third Hokage devoted himself to Konoha until his death, compared to Danzo's disgusting nature, she suddenly felt that the old man was actually alright.
At least it wasn't as disgusting and filthy as I had imagined.
However, she was also deeply moved, as seeing the old man show signs of aging was a very impactful experience for her.
After all, when she left Konoha, the Third Hokage was just entering his late middle age and old age. Although he showed some signs of old age, he was still a formidable ninja hero who dominated the ninja world.
But when she saw the Third Hokage again, he was an old man who looked very old and even had to control the number of shadow clones he created.
She had been calling him "old man" just like Jiraiya, but at this moment, she truly acknowledged that he had really grown old.
Death is a serious matter, and even though she harbored a lot of resentment, seeing him protecting Konoha until his last moment softened her heart.
Then, Tsunade read on and saw how Danzo had taken Kotoamatsukami from Shisui Uchiha, and how he ultimately gave his other Mangekyou Sharingan to Itachi Uchiha in despair.
Driven by the death of his friend, Itachi Uchiha awakened his Sharingan.
"No, this is not right."
Tsunade immediately realized that something was wrong.
This was different from the rumors she had heard before. Although she was not in the village back then, she, like Orochimaru and Jiraiya, had subordinates of considerable importance in the village. As one of the Legendary Sannin, she was also the highest-ranking person in charge of Konoha's medical department. How could she not have spies in Konoha?
Based on reports from informants at the time, many people speculated that Itachi Uchiha might have killed Shisui Uchiha.
Back then, this claim was widely circulated, and not only within the Uchiha clan, but also outside of it, many people believed it.
However, it has now been revealed that Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan did not awaken after he killed Shisui Uchiha; on the contrary, it was awakened after he witnessed Shisui's death.
The real reason for Uchiha Shisui's death was Danzo.
"Danzo, Danzo, you're everywhere! No wonder Kitahara Kaede said that if there's any major incident in the ninja world and we can't find the mastermind, we can just say it was you who did it," Tsunade couldn't help but say.
Danzo is indeed a bastard who deserves to be blamed. If you said he didn't do it, who would believe you?
Judging from the video revealed by Kitahara Kaede, the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village was already quite intense back then, and the Uchiha clan even went so far as to rebel. If it were in the past, she would definitely have strongly criticized the Uchiha clan for trying to betray the village.
However, she no longer had such strong emotions. The Uchiha clan had considered saving themselves and had no way to do so, but their last chance was ruined by Shimura Danzo.
Considering Shimura Danzo's constant talk about the evil Uchiha clan, she even began to wonder whether Shimura Danzo's actions before Uchiha Shisui was about to use Kotoamatsukami on Uchiha Fugaku were out of genuine fear of Shisui using Kotoamatsukami on him, or fear that Shisui had actually altered Uchiha Fugaku's will, causing the Uchiha clan to ultimately abandon their rebellion plan.
Based on her understanding of Shimura Danzo, it was probably the latter.
Therefore, the Uchiha clan could actually have been saved, but Danzo Shimura personally extinguished that possibility.
Itachi Uchiha's role in this seems very suspicious. Judging from his performance in the video, Itachi Uchiha is not such a cold-blooded and heartless person. He is not the psychopathic killer who decided to kill his entire clan in order to test his own strength, as rumored.
It was probably done on orders from the higher-ups in Konoha.
This aligns with her understanding that even if Itachi had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he couldn't possibly have killed all the Uchiha clan ninjas without alerting anyone.
