Chapter 420 Returning The Sharingan

Leaving the Hokage Tower, Kanpū, Shisui and Kakashi galloped all the way, and soon left the village.

"Orochimaru escaped from the village's underground waterway, so why did we leave the village directly?" Kakashi asked with a frown.

"The underground waterway's paths are tangled and complicated. It is difficult for us to track to Orochimaru as we are not familiar with the terrain."

Kanpū said, "So we should directly go to Orochimaru's secret laboratory outside the village!"

Kanpū previously noted the addresses of two Orochimaru's laboratories, one in the village and one outside the village. According to the distance, the one who came to report to Minato should be the Anbu searching the laboratory in the village, and in this laboratory, the Anbu did not find the Sharingan!

In other words, the Sharingan is very likely to be hidden by Orochimaru in the laboratory outside the village. With Orochimaru's desire for Sharingan, even if he defected, he will definitely go and retrieve this pair of Sharingan!

Of course, it's also possible that Orochimaru, with his cautiousness, will directly keep the Sharingan close to his body. If this is the case, then they would go there in vain, but for now, Kanpū can only gamble.

After leaving the village, the cold wind wrapped with slapped the faces of the three, and further away, the snow field, snow forest, and snow mountain were connected into one piece, covered in silver, as if entering a world of ice and snow.

...

In the conference room of the Hokage Tower, facing the torture of Fugaku's hoarse soul, Koharu's expression became more and more ugly, as if a layer of black wax had been smeared under the wrinkles of her face, showing an indescribable haze and silence.

"No matter what reason you have, it is a fact that you concealed an important information! I suspect that you want to take this opportunity to frame a high-level advisor!" Koharu said emotionally.

"I said, I just want to know where Advisor Danzo's Sharingan comes from?!" Fugaku glared at Koharu, with murderous intent boiling in his chest.

"Does this have anything to do with you concealing the information? Or do you think we won't track down the source of Danzo's 3-Tomoe Sharingan after telling this information? Fugaku, do you treat us as fool?!"

Koharu was originally dissatisfied with the Uchiha Clan, so now that she has the opportunity, why don't she punish them to death?

"You…"

Fugaku's face was flushed with anger and he felt uncomfortable all over after being slandered by her!

At this time, he feels that his Sharingan is about to break through to Mangekyo!

"Yondaime, what do you think of this matter?" Koharu looked towards Minato.

Minato frowned slightly, and said: "There is no personal enmity between Clan Head Fugaku and Advisor Danzo, and there is no such thing like framing, so I believe that Clan Head Fugaku just wants to know where Advisor Danzo's Sharingan comes from!"

Koharu opened her mouth and tried to speak, but she swallowed the words again. She couldn't say that Danzo had targeted the Uchiha Clan several times, so they had grudges and grievances, right?

Koharu is not stupid, so she can only shut up.

Minato looked at Danzo: "I want to know too."

At this time, Danzo had restrained his flamboyant acting skills. He recovered his composure, and said: "As I said just now, this Sharingan was given to me by Orochimaru, but he didn't tell me the origin of this Sharingan at all."

"Is Advisor Danzo trying to put all the blame on Orochimaru?" Minato asked in a deep voice.

"Put all the blame?"

Danzo showed a confused look and said, "The disappearance of village's Shinobi has been confirmed to be Orochimaru's work, and it has nothing to do with me! As for my Sharingan, humph! There's nothing wrong, I just transplanted the Sharingan gifted by Orochimaru, so what? Yondaime, isn't your disciple Kakashi also transplanted the Sharingan of S-Rank Missing-nin, Uchiha Obito? Since neither you nor Sandaime has asked Kakashi for this, then why are you trying to blame me?"

"When Kakashi transplanted the Sharingan, Obito is still the Shinobi of the village!" Hiruzen raised his head and retorted sharply.

"When I transplanted Orochimaru's Sharingan, he was also one of Konoha's Sannin!" Danzo responded with a sneer.

"Obito belongs to the Uchiha Clan, but Orochimaru is not. How could you not know where his Sharingan came from?" Hiruzen slapped the table and roared.

"It's a pity, Sandaime, I really don't know!"

Danzo shook his head slightly, his eyes flickered, "Although I do doubt what Orochimaru has done, but when I thought that he was the direct disciple of Sandaime, I couldn't help but choose to trust him, Sandaime, it's all because of you!"

"Danzo!"

Hiruzen stood up angrily and glared at him, "You bastard!!"

Orochimaru's actions have made Hiruzen heartbroken, however, Danzo's shameless appearance at this moment made him even more furious!

While pushing all the blame on Orochimaru's head, he also hinted that Danzo was fooled because of him. He felt that Danzo was too shameless!

However, he has no evidence to prove the collusion between Orochimaru and Danzo, and Orochimaru is not present, so he couldn't testify about Danzo!

Hiruzen exploded with anger when he thought of this.

Minato listened to Hiruzen and Danzo's question and answers, and his azure eyes were full of solemnity and fear: 'As expected of Danzo, he is indeed very difficult to deal with!'

After pondering for a while, Minato asked slowly: "Since Advisor Danzo has no contact with Orochimaru, how do you know about Orochimaru's secret laboratory? And also the missing Shinobi's corpses in his laboratory?"

Danzo's mind spun quickly, and he said: "Because the transplantation of Sharingan needs surgery, and the first transplant operation was done in a laboratory outside the village. The next day, my Sharingan seemed to be showing rejection, so the urgent treatment was carried out in the laboratory in the village. This is why I know where Orochimaru's secret laboratory is! As for the missing Shinobi's corpses, hehehehe, I just made reasonable guesses based on your troubles, and I didn't know this in advance."

Minato then asked again: "Why did Orochimaru give Sharingan to you?"

"I didn't know at first, but now, I understand!"

Danzo said with a smile, "It's because Orochimaru used the village's Shinobi to conduct human experiments and he knew Anbu was pursuing the matter, so he deliberately gave me the Sharingan's transplantation in an attempt to use me to divert your attention! Yondaime, it's really dangerous, you almost let Orochimaru succeed. Now, hehehehe, hahahahahahaha…"

Along with Danzo's laughter, Minato fell silent.

'The reason is impeccable!'

'In this way, Danzo successfully dumped all the blames to Orochimaru, and unless we caught Orochimaru and asked Orochimaru to testify against Danzo, we would not be able to move Danzo with the information that Anbu currently has!'

At this moment, Shikaku started speaking: "Hokage-sama, Anbu found a lot of research data on human experiment in Orochimaru's laboratory, so there may be some clues on it."

'If Danzo really colluded with Orochimaru, there may be unexpected harvest in the research materials that Anbu found.'

This thought flashed through Minato's mind, and he immediately remembered Wood Release youngster!

And Danzo's laughter came to an abrupt end. After all, he and Orochimaru had many exchanges of human experiments, such as using Hashirama's cells to create Wood Release Shinobi, Kinoe, or using Kinoe's cells to be cultivated and transplanted.

Although Danzo didn't leave any traces behind, if Orochimaru writes down something so stubbornly, wouldn't this give Minato a reason to attack him?

Danzo's heartbeat began to mess up again.

"Eagle, immediately investigate all the research materials left by Orochimaru thoroughly!"

Minato began to order, "In addition… declare Orochimaru as Konoha's Missing-nin, rank S!"

"Yes!" Eagle responded and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute…"

In view of the potential threats in those research materials, Danzo took a deep breath and began to show his goodwill, "Yondaime, I can send the Root to help you hunt down Orochimaru!"

"No, leave Orochimaru's matters to Anbu!" Minato resolutely refused.

"Although Orochimaru is not the village's higher-up, he still has a lot of secrets. Once he leaves the Land of Fire alive, it will definitely pose a huge threat to the village!"

Danzo did not give up, "Yondaime, please be cautious!"

"Please don't interfere with this matter, Advisor Danzo!" Minato still refused, his tone is resolute and decisive.

Although Danzo was not taken down this time, at least one Orochimaru was found, and with those research materials, maybe… no, he can definitely captured Danzo's tail, otherwise, why would Danzo suddenly showed his goodwill?

"If that's the case, then I'll take my leave first!" Danzo concealed his anger, got up and left.

"Wait!"

At this time, Fugaku suddenly stood up and called Danzo.

Danzo paused, turned his head slightly, and snorted: "Does Clan Head Fugaku have any advice?"

Fugaku said coldly: "Advisor Danzo, please return the Uchiha Clan's Kekkei Genkai to me!"

Danzo's expression sank: "This is Orochimaru…"

"Orochimaru also snatched the Sharingan from our clan! And he is now S-Rank Missing-nin, so please return my clan's Kekkei Genkai!" Fugaku did not retreat at all.

"Then Kakashi…"

Danzo turned around and was about to give an example when he was rudely interrupted by Fugaku again, "I agree with Kakashi owning Sharingan, but I don't agree with you!!"

"You!!!"

Danzo was furious, and the veins in his forehead were completely shown, 'I am a Konoha's high level advisor, the leader of the Root's, and also has high position and authority, and you say that I'm not as good as a Kakashi?'

Danzo only feels that his face has been tarnished, his personality has been insulted, and his dignity has been trampled on!

"Since this is what Clan Head Fugaku wanted, I also ask Advisor Danzo to respect his request and return the Uchiha Clan's Kekkei Genkai." Minato said lightly.

Koharu and Homura frowned slightly, but they didn't say anything.

"Okay! Very good!!"

Danzo held back his anger and stretched out his trembling left hand. He gritted his teeth, and after hesitating for three seconds, he took off his right eye roughly. When it was taken off, the pain hit, and Danzo threw the Sharingan directly on the table with a low growl!

Snapped!

With a soft sound, the bloodshot Sharingan burst instantly.

Fugaku's face remained unchanged. He is not angry at all and he didn't feel that it is a pity. It's because he insists on getting the Sharingan back just because he wanted to disgust Danzo!

That's all!!

Danzo covered his bleeding right eye socket with his left hand, snorted coldly and slammed the door away.

...

In the depths of a dense forest outside Konoha.

Kanpū's group of three shuttled through the white snow forest at high speed. They found a lot of snow footprints on the branches of some towering giant trees. Kanpū guessed that they were left by the Anbu's Shinobi in the Orochimaru laboratory.

Following the footprints on the snow, the three people quickly arrived at the entrance of an underground laboratory built under a tree hole.

The underground entrance has been violently destroyed, and there are a large number of snake corpses nearby. At the same time, there is a strong smell of blood wafting from the entrance.

"Orochimaru seems to have arrived." Shisui took out a kunai, and the black pupils under the mask had already turned into 3-Tomoe Sharingan.

On the way here, Kanpū told Shisui and Kakashi about what happened in the conference room today, so they all knew about Orochimaru changing from Konoha's Sannin to Konoha's Missing-nin!

"Be careful."

Kanpū said, then he used Hardening Technique on himself for physical defense, then activated Extraordinary Strength, took out the Kusanagi Sword, and then followed Shisui and Kakashi into the underground laboratory step by step.
