Chapter 209 : All-Out!!
"Hokage, how could this man be an assassin? He helped the Uchiha clan fend off Itachi's attack!"
Uchiha Shin stepped forward in a hurry, blocking Hiruzen Sarutobi. "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Genya had just gone through a fierce battle. If he had to face Hiruzen now, he could be in danger!
Thinking about it, Hiruzen must have noticed this too, which is why he wanted to force Genya to stay.
"Mistaken?" Hiruzen glanced at Uchiha Shin before turning back to Genya. "I do not make such mistakes. His figure, his attire, and that signature black flame all prove that he is the assassin who once slaughtered Konoha's shinobi!"
Hiruzen didn't outright say that the assassin specifically targeted the Sarutobi and Shimura clans, but at this moment, his killing intent was undeniable!
"Ninjutsu can be learned by anyone. You can't assume it's the same person just because of that!" Uchiha Shin tried to argue, attempting to deflect suspicion.
"Whether he is or isn't—I only need to ask once." Hiruzen's voice was cold as he fixed his sharp gaze on Genya. "Tell me, did you ever kill Konoha shinobi?"
"Konoha shinobi?" Genya chuckled as he looked at the enraged Danzo and Hiruzen. "No, I don't believe I have."
"But I did kill a few worthless members of the Sarutobi and Shimura clans."
The air instantly grew heavy.
