What If 11: I’ll take care of Uchiha Sasuke
The Uchiha clan was wiped out, and although Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the Hokage, bore the primary responsibility, the one who truly fanned the flames was Danzo Shimura. It was his obstinacy and underhanded actions that pushed the situation to such an extent, forcing Hiruzen to agree to his proposal to eradicate the Uchiha clan.
The person who caused this outcome was Danzo.
Thus, the one who should bear the bitter consequences was also Danzo.
Faced with the aggressive questioning from everyone, Danzo remained unperturbed, showing no hint of panic or negativity.
In fact, he struggled to suppress the corners of his mouth from curling into a smile. He could hardly hold back his laughter.
This situation...
He loved it.
This was the scenario he had always dreamed of achieving.
Konoha had fallen into a crisis, one triggered by that fool Hiruzen Sarutobi. Though Danzo himself was the mastermind, in the eyes of others, the Third Hokage would shoulder the heaviest blame.
