The shadows

ch57

As Naruto predicted, it all happened a few days later. Shisui was sent on an emergency solo carrier mission to deliver a scroll and bring back the response as soon as possible. It was all to ensure he wouldn't be able to fight back.

Danzo picked the agents for this mission himself. He also wanted Naruto to be the one to deal the finishing blow. Of course, Naruto couldn't be more happy. The attack was coordinated perfectly. The first group of agents were to just wear Shisui down. Then Danzo would grab an eye before having Naruto kill Shisui and grab the other.

And it all went according to plan. Shisui was panting and bleeding from multiple wounds. He was being held immobilized by several agents. There was no escape. Danzo took it as his signal to enter the clearing, followed very close behind by Naruto.

Danzo gave an entire speech about the good of the village, he reached a hand to grab an eye, but mere centimeters away, he froze. Shisui, who had his eyes closed in a last-ditch effort to protect them, opened them again to see Danzo wrapped in crimson chains with multiple seals attached to them.

Suddenly the agents holding Shisui let go before moving away a safe distance. Shisui slowly raised up to see Naruto behind Danzo with chains coming out of his chest.

"What the hell?" was all Shisui could manage.

"I'm sorry for not warning you before, Shisui, but we couldn't let Danzo get away. I will explain everything. My clone already told Hokage-sama to call for an emergency meeting. We should head there." Naruto said.

His seals and chains were holding Danzo in such a way he couldn't even use a speck of chakra or make the slightest movements. There was no escape for the bastard this time.

They reached the meeting room soon enough. Shisui was on edge, but he trusted Naruto. Meanwhile, Naruto was the epitome of calmness. They opened the door, and there were various shocked reactions. Shisui immediately moved to stay to the side. The clan heads were all there, plus the Hokage, the sannin, and Itachi.

"I am sorry to call for everyone so late, but this matter simply could not wait," Naruto said.

"What is the meaning of this? Why are you treating a respectable elder in such a way?" Hiashi asked, irritated.

"I understand your frustration Hyuga-sama. In the next few minutes, everything will be revealed. We are here to set the appropriate punishment for Danzo Shimura. May I ask Orochimaru-sama to present the first set of evidence?" Naruto asked, and when Minato nodded, they moved forward.

It was evident that no one knew what was going to happen, but they had to act professionally. Orochimaru then unsealed a massive binder on the table, and it all started.

It was a long process. Orochimaru first provided all documents and evidence of Danzo's criminal actions in wars. Every shinobi he got killed to further his agenda, every illegal deal, and everything in between. By the end of it, the clan heads were solemn, but they were holding their tongues before all evidence was provided.

Then Tsunade moved forward. By using the birth certificates and documents Naruto provided, she provided evidence of all the children stolen from civilian and shinobi families and orphanages.

Then Orochimaru moved back again to tell them about all the illegal experimentations. Then Jiraiya told everyone about the seal put on agents' tongues and how they were all monitored so they could never utter a word about Danzo's actions.

So much more was revealed. Naruto wanted everyone to know of all the crimes committed in the name of Konoha. But finally, everything was revealed.

For once, no one wanted to argue or felt the urge to input their opinion; it was clear what needed to be done.
