Soon after, Kakashi and Danzō entered the classroom one after the other.
Kakashi was slightly puzzled by Danzo's sudden appearance. 'What's he doing here? Did he come for Makoto? But Lord Third has already taken him as a disciple....'
"Lord Danzo," Kakashi greeted respectfully, but Danzo remained silent.
As he stepped further into the classroom, his cold gaze swept over the four students. His eyes lingered on Sasuke first, then shifted to Naruto before finally settling on Makoto. He didn't even spare a single glance at Sakura.
At the same time, the chat group erupted with messages.
[Uchiha Izuna: Brother, did you sense it too?]
On the duel grounds, Izuna's expression was grave as he looked at his elder brother, while Madara's eyes burned with murderous intent.
[Uchiha Madara: THAT BASTARD!]
[Senju Hashirama: Madara, what's wrong? What did you see? Hurry up and tell us!]
[Senju Tobirama: Damn it, can you guys stop being mysterious and just explain already?]
[Uchiha Izuna: Tobirama, both of those people have Sharingan!]
[Senju Tobirama: What?! That's impossible! They're not from the Uchiha clan. Where the hell did they get Sharingan from?]
[Uchiha Madara: Sakumo's son has a Sharingan hidden under his covered eye. And that old man who walked in after him, he has one too. More importantly, his entire arm is covered in Sharingan!]
[Senju Hashirama: I didn't mention it earlier because I thought I might have sensed it wrong. But now that I think about it, it's not just the aura of Sharingan, I can slightly feel my chakra signature on that arm!]
[Senju Tobirama: Did he perhaps transplant my brother's cells into his body? If that is the case, he should have tried to awaken the wood style!]
[Namikaze Minato: Lord First's cells and Sharingan? Is that even possible?]
[Hatake Sakumo: How could my son have a Sharingan?]
[Uchiha Izuna: Since when did our clan's prized Sharingan become so easy to obtain? Did these people murder our clansmen? Wait… the clan's massacre!!!]
[Makoto Ito: Hold on! Kakashi's Sharingan was given to him by his close friend, a member of your clan. Before he died, he entrusted Kakashi with one of his eyes.]
[Namikaze Minato: Yes, I know about that. But what about Danzo?]
[Makoto Ito: As for Danzo, the eyes he possesses were taken from the Uchiha clan. After the clan's extermination, he decided it would be a waste to leave them behind, so he collected the Sharingan and embedded them into his arm. He also infused it with Grandpa First's cells to sustain and enhance its power. He even tried to awaken the wood style but miserably failed]
[Senju Tobirama: So, my guess was true. This bastard! I even considered making him Hokage once! What kind of people did I take as students? Not a single one of them turned out to be sane!]
[Senju Hashirama: I know my cells are strong, but why are people treating them like some commodity? Wait a minute! Did they… dig up my grave?!]
[Namikaze Minato: I always knew Danzo wasn't a good person, but this… this is still shocking!]
[Hyūga Hizashi: Good grief. I really don't even want to imagine what the underside of that arm looks like… Just thinking about it gives me chills.]
Meanwhile, Makoto hadn't expected Danzo to suddenly appear at the Academy. 'Did he come here for me?'
[Makoto Ito: Everyone, that one-eyed monster is here for me!]
[If he tries anything, I might have no choice but to leave the village and become a rogue ninja. I hope you guys won't blame me!]
[Senju Tobirama: Kid, calm down.]
[Senju Hashirama: Yeah, don't panic. Let's see what he does first. If he tries anything, we won't just sit back and watch.]
At this moment, Hashirama was already prepared to transfer all his power and resurrect himself and he was genuinely curious to see how Hiruzen and Danzo had been running the village.
[Uchiha Madara: I fully support your rebellion. Every time a true genius rises, these old fools get anxious and suppress them. If it weren't for them, the village could have become far stronger!]
[Uchiha Madara: Just think about how many geniuses they've ruined! Shisui, Itachi, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru and Minato! These old bastards are still alive while the most promising talents either meet tragic ends or are forced down miserable paths!]
Danzo stood still, his lone eye locked onto Makoto. "You must be Ito Makoto."
Makoto scratched his head with a confused look on his face. "I'm Makoto, yeah. But who are you, you middle-aged, wretched-looking old man with one eye? And what's with the bandage on your arm?"
Kakashi's lips twitched speechlessly at Makoto's words, but he quickly regained his composure.
He knew firsthand just how ruthless Danzo could be, especially given his time in Anbu.
Makoto's words were practically asking for trouble. Without hesitation, Kakashi stepped in front of Makoto, shielding him from Danzo's piercing gaze.
"Lord Danzo, he's just a child. His words were out of line. Please forgive him," Kakashi said.
Then, turning to Makoto with a stern expression, he added, "This is Shimura Danzo, one of the village elders. You need to show some respect and cut the nonsense."
Hearing his words, Naruto muttered under his breath, "If someone that ugly can become an elder, does that mean I can become Hokage since I'm better looking than him?"
Both Kakashi and Danzo heard his remark. Danzo remained expressionless while Kakashi shot Naruto a sharp glare and a deep sense of unease settled in his heart.
Danzō had no morals, no ethics, and no hesitation when it came to eliminating those he deemed obstacles.
And right now, he was staring at a group of exceptionally talented students.
Naruto, his teacher's son.
Sasuke, the brother of his friend.
Makoto, the unofficial disciple of the Third Hokage.
If Danzo made a move, Kakashi would have no choice but to intervene.
At this moment, even Kakashi seemed to have completely filtered out Sakura!
