Naruto: I wrote in my diary that I exposed the Otsutsuki's arrival.

Chapter 47, Danzo the 5.5th Hokage, is absolutely hilarious!

He had little respect for Danzo; everything he did was for the sake of the village.

He frowned even more when he saw what Kitahara Kaede had revealed about Danzo's deeds; they were far worse than he had imagined.

The target of his return to Konoha was none other than Danzo Shimura.

But when he saw Shimura Danzo transplant Hashirama cells and his hands covered in Sharingan eyes, he couldn't resist any longer.

Itachi Uchiha was praised by the Third Hokage for having the mindset of a Hokage at a young age. In other words, compared to other simple-minded people, Itachi Uchiha was able to see things from the perspective of a ruler and did not believe that there was no darkness in the village.

After all, this is a massive violent organization. No matter how much a militarized organization like Konoha emphasizes the Will of Fire on the surface, there are some things that will go against the Will of Fire.

Everything for the village.

This is the core of the Will of Fire, and it's what Itachi Uchiha believed the Will of Fire should look like.

However, Danzo's actions had already touched a nerve with Itachi Uchiha. Hashirama's cells and Sharingan involved the two major clans that founded Konoha.

To be realistic, the founding of Konoha was thanks to these two families, but where are they now?

The Senju clan vanished without a trace, and the Uchiha clan was wiped out overnight.

Danzo's actions filled Itachi with rage, but he quickly calmed down. He knew that getting angry was useless and wouldn't solve the problem.

However, the information revealed in the diary is extremely dangerous: why Konoha would allow Danzo to act as the 5th 5th Hokage is illogical.

The fourth generation was already at the level of the third generation's grand-disciple, let alone the fifth generation. It was even less likely to be Shimura Danzo. Moreover, does 5.5 mean that the sixth generation was originally supposed to succeed him?

If we calculate it this way, to what extent must Konoha have lost its talent that such an old relic could still receive everyone's recommendation when it comes to deciding on the Sixth Hokage?

In an instant, Itachi Uchiha felt that something was wrong.

Could this be related to Pain's invasion of Konoha from the Akatsuki?

He witnessed Pain destroying the entire Hidden Leaf Village with Shinra Tensei, and he almost couldn't sit still.

The village he sacrificed his entire family to protect was gone just like that?

Could Danzo becoming the 5.5th generation be related to this matter?

He didn't know much about the leader of Akatsuki, only that his name was Pain and that he possessed the Rinnegan, which was said to be possessed only by the Sage of Six Paths.

However, he knew nothing about the abilities of the Rinnegan. That short video didn't show much; it only proved that Pain could fly.

And that ninjutsu, Shinra Tensei.

What attribute is this ninjutsu? It looks like a wind attribute ninjutsu because it has no color, but it doesn't seem to be a wind attribute ninjutsu.

Because the attack characteristics of wind-attribute ninjutsu are cutting and storms.

However, the ninjutsu released by Pain did not have this characteristic; instead, it seemed to be some kind of force centered on his body.

The video is too short to provide enough information for analysis.

However, if that's the case, it would explain many things, such as why it suddenly jumped to the 5.5th generation. Perhaps the fifth generation also died in this battle.

Itachi Uchiha was very anxious, but he did not make any rash moves.

Although he had never fought Pain, he knew he was no match for him. The Akatsuki had so many S-rank rogue ninja, each starting at the Kage level.

Every one of them would be an unruly and highly skilled fighter outside, but within the Akatsuki organization, they are all completely submissive, which speaks volumes.

If we act rashly, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Especially given that the leader of the Akatsuki organization doesn't really trust him, he has to be careful in everything he does.

After all, in Shippuden, everyone had to conserve their chakra, unlike later on when they piloted Gundams and fought aliens, where they didn't need to worry about chakra at all.

However, before he can fully develop, he still needs to play it safe. After all, Danzo will be the 5.5th Hokage in the future. Although he only briefly served as acting Hokage, he escaped from the Five Kage Summit like a rat in a gutter. While the other four Kage were busy chasing and intercepting Sasuke, he was the only one who escaped. It's really laughable.

No Hokage in history has ever run away like this.

So back then, he was a step behind the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, in front of the Second Hokage. That step was a permanent disadvantage. How could someone who could only stir up trouble in the dark and treacherous hell become Hokage?

Having spent so much time crawling in the dark underground, you've probably forgotten your fighting instincts. That's why you were able to pull off such a memorable scene as stabbing Susanoo with a kunai. Dying at the hands of Uchiha Sasuke is probably the most dignified end you could have had.

Kakashi Hatake looked at the contents of the diary and still harbored a lot of resentment towards Danzo, but the amount of information contained in this passage was quite explosive.

Just as he had guessed, the reason Danzo was said to be the 5.5th Hokage was because he had served as Hokage, even if only briefly.

The reason he was only the 5.5th Hokage is probably because he died at the hands of Sasuke Uchiha not long after he became Hokage.

But according to general logic, even if someone has been Hokage for just one day, they are still Hokage. So what does it mean to be a half-generation Hokage?

There is only one possibility: he was stripped of his position as Hokage afterward.

The reason is probably easy to guess: the Hokage, representing Konoha, actually escaped from the Five Kage Summit.

Throughout the history of the ninja world, the Five Kage Summit period was basically during the early days of Konoha's establishment, when the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, established the order of the ninja world and distributed the nine tailed beasts.

The fact that five villages that had fought tooth and nail to the point of exhaustion could only mean that a greater crisis had arisen, or perhaps, as Kitahara Kaede mentioned, they were tired of fighting in the Fourth Shinobi World War and were therefore sitting down to negotiate.

Regardless of the reason, it would be extremely shameful for a Hokage to escape from the Five Kage Summit.

He must have done something very inappropriate at the Five Kage Summit. If it were someone else, they might not have done that, but based on Kakashi Hatake's understanding of Danzo, it is very likely.

That's the darkness of the ninja world.

"Die by my hand?" Uchiha Sasuke saw in the diary that Shimura Danzo had died by his hand.

Although he had vowed to kill Danzo to avenge the loss of his clan's Sharingan, he never expected to be told that he would succeed in the future.

He would personally avenge his people in the future.
