Chapter 89 - GATHERING OF THE LEADERS (Part-4)

"DANZO...!!!!!!.." everyone heard a voice ,filled with hatred and killing intent ,every shinobi went into fight-mode otger than the kages as they stepped forward while drawing their weapons and taking different stances.

Sasuke appeared in the middle of the table pointing his sword at Danzo who was just sitting their calmly.

"What is the meaning of this Ichizu-san.???" asked Danzo with his 'eyes' narrowed towards Sasuke.

"Hokage what is the meaning of this...???"

"Does this kid know what he had just done...???"

Many started to complain whereas the shinobi accompanying the Kages looked like they would attack Sasuke if he decided to make a move on anyone.

"What is the meaning of this Sasuke???" asked Ichizu in a deep voice while faking anger as he raised his chakra levels drastically.

Unlike Jiraiya's Nature-energy which was wild and free ,Ichizu's energy was more like the water in a Dam ,calm and still as long as the Dam holds on.....but once it broke. All hell would break loose.

Due to the nature of Ichizu chakra the room was still intact but the heaviness in the surrounding increase many times over.

Everyone was shocked by the power and control displayed by the Great-elder of Konoha. Even Top-Kage level shinobi couldn't achieve this.

"Oni-san he was the one responsible for the *Uchiha clans massacre*..." said Sasuke seemingly unaffected by the pressure released by Ichizu.

Suddenly the air froze.....Seemingly endless Killing intent very quietly permeated the surrounding as everyone except Nikasu and Sasuke shivered and broke into cold sweat.

"I don't understand what you are saying Sasuke. Explain yourself....." said Ichizu in a voice devoid of any emotion as he thought 'My acting would probably fool everyone here into believing that I didn't know this previously.'

"He...." before he could continue a voice interrupted him and made it's way to the ears of all the shinobi present.

"Why don't you just see what happened." said a man wearing black-clothes and a fox mask but after seeing his eyes, a deep chill went down everyone's spine as Ao dazely muttered "Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan."

Before anyone could react they heard him speak once again "*Kotoamatsukami*....".

The scene around them changed to when Shisui got his left eye stolen by Danzo while he gave his other eye to Itachi before committing suicide ,enabling Itachi to unlock his M.S, how Danzo talked we Itachi and persuaded him to kill his whole clan and save Sasuke's life, how Itachi struggled with his choice and how he ultimately decided to kill his clan and save Sasuke's life. How he found Masked-man and teamed up with him to kill his clan.

How he made his way to the Uchiha compound and slaughtered his kin ,encountered Fugaku while killing others. He made his way into his own house only to find Mikoto and Fugaku sitting on the floor on their knees with their back facing Itachi as Fugaku said that he didn't wanted to fight his own son and asked Itachi to take care of himself.

How Itachi trembled violently with his hands shaking as he held his sword and tears poured down his face. How he raised his trembling sword only to be fiercely kicked in the ribs by someone and fly crashing inside the pond.

Due to crashing in the pond ,his tears were washed away some blood leaked out of the corner of his house.

How he escaped from the village and be recruited be the Masked-man under the threat of Sasuke's life.

And how the man with the Fox mask snatched the M.S of Shisui from Itachi....these memories were deeply engraved inside everyone's memories allowing Ichizu to not only fix Itachi's image in the other villages eyes but also forgive him for what he had done. Killing Danzo was a bonus.

The illusion ended as there was deadly silence inside the room, everyone had sad expressions while some emotional individuals were crying.

"YOU!!!!....." before Jiraiya could finish what he wanted to say he heard a voice "Is it true Danzo???." it contained no anger ,no murderous intent ,only the silence made it dangerous.

Danzo didn't reply to Ichizu and just stayed quite ,Mei called out "Ao...!!". Ao ,understanding her intentions activated his *Byakkugan* to check on Danzo.

Ao's eyes widened as his back was drenched in cold sweat not due to Danzo possessing Shisui's M.S but because he could feel Ichizu focusing on his words even with his eyes closed.

"It is true...." it took all his will power to answer the question due to the invisible pressure emitting from Ichizu.

"Why????...." asked Ichizu confusing everyone around him as they expected him to suddenly attack Danzo.....but he instead asked 'Why'.

"Why did you asked Itachi to kill the newborns...??? The village killing the a_d_u_l_ts is understandable, the village killing teenager is understandable ,but why the young ones.....they didn't have the capabilities to retaliate and but some investment they would have devoted themselves to the village so tell me why kill everyone.???"

Realization dawn upon everyone ,Yes....what Ichizu stated was indeed correct newborns and kids and newborn and kids after all. Their minds can be easily influenced with a little effort.

"I didn't wanted another Madara to be born...." stated Danzo in a flat tone.

"Another Madara....Another Madara, the same words as the second Hokage...." Ichizu gritted his teeth and opened his eyes with his M.S activated and he emotionlessly stated "Every single Elder who was responsible for this shall be executed so will be you...."

"You can't...." just as Danzo was saying he was interrupted by another voice "He can....I support his decision, every single Elder who was responsible for this shall be executed."

"Oni-san I will be the one to kill him no one else..." said Sasuke with hatred.

Ichizu glanced towards Sasuke as his pattern started to rotate at a high speed as he replied "Very well I shall give you a change."
