Tobirama pointed at Sora beside him.
"Don't forget, after you speak, there is a great being here capable of resurrection. He can revive Kagami, allowing Kagami to answer our questions directly."
Tobirama's sharp, blade-like gaze swept over Danzo's right eye and the many Sharingan embedded in his arm.
"Huuhh… Haah…"
Having roughly understood everything, Tobirama took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.
His expression turned grave, the pressure instantly intensifying to the maximum!
Then, Tobirama said calmly: "Danzo, if you are wrong, you must admit it. You are, after all, my student. Surely you possess at least that much integrity?"
Hearing Tobirama's words, Danzo fell silent.
After a moment, Danzo slowly let out a breath, his gaze becoming resolute!
Under the current circumstances, even if he tried to quibble, it would be useless.
With the First Hokage and Second Hokage both right before him, he had nothing left to hide!
Looking at it optimistically, if his actions could be exchanged for the resurrection of so many Hokages, Danzo didn't consider it a loss!
Moreover, Danzo truly valued his identity as a student of the Second Hokage. His admiration for the Second Hokage was something others could hardly comprehend!
It was precisely because he excessively idolized Tobirama and saw himself too strongly as Tobirama's successor that Danzo had become so twisted into his current state.
And now... he really had nothing more to say.
"Sensei... that's right, Kagami... I killed him!" Danzo said earnestly: "It was during a mission near the end of the First Great Ninja War!"
"Kagami was injured. While talking with me about arrangements for the Uchiha, his words revealed his desire to lift the restrictions on the Uchiha and enact reforms."
"Kagami could see it. Because you, Sensei, had died, and Hiruzen clearly wasn't someone who could perfectly execute your policies."
"Yet over so many years, your policies had been effective."
"So, although the fruit hadn't ripened to its sweetest point, harvesting and consuming it now could still achieve part of the goal!"
"Kagami believed that by partaking of the fruits of your ideological reform of the Uchiha now, liberating the Uchiha from the Military Police Force, placing some of the 'good' Uchiha within the village to change the villagers' perceptions!"
"This way, the Uchiha would gradually integrate into the village. That was Kagami's idea!"
As he spoke, Danzo's eyes turned sinister: "But unfortunately, Kagami's idea was too idealistic! And I... deeply despised the Uchiha! I had always thought about one day annihilating the entire Uchiha Clan!"
"So, that time, my wicked thoughts overcame my fear, and I directly ambushed Kagami, gouging out his Sharingan!"
"Is that so... I see..." Hearing Danzo's words, Tobirama let out a long sigh. Everything became clear now.
"People always think the Uchiha are the clan of hatred, while the Senju are the clan of love. Actually, that's not true. The Uchiha are the clan of love!"
"However, they place too much importance on this love, so much so that when they lose this love, it produces an intense stimulus in their brains. This stimulus awakens their Sharingan!"
"And while awakening the Sharingan certainly grants power, it also makes their minds unstable, one could even say extreme. That's why I always believed the Uchiha were an inherently evil clan!"
"Therefore, I assigned the Uchiha to the Military Police Force, using the Police Force as bait to imprison the entire Uchiha Clan within it!"
"The Police Force usually only maintains public order, so naturally, the Uchiha wouldn't suffer casualties, and their mental state would tend to stabilize!"
"This arrangement also had another layer of thought: if the Uchiha were the Police Force, their law enforcement would be very strict, with no room for favoritism or corruption. Naturally, conflicts with the villagers would arise."
"Over time, the conflict between the Uchiha and the village would deepen more and more! One day, they would bring about their own destruction!"
Looking at everyone's shocked gazes, Tobirama said plainly: "This indeed was a thought I once had. I do not deny it!"
"Of course, I was, after all, the Hokage. Assigning the Uchiha to the Police Force was also something I considered deeply. The Uchiha are proud, and they wouldn't bend the law for personal gain. They are natural candidates for law enforcers!"
"At the same time, with the Uchiha ostracized by the villagers, I, as Hokage, could get closer to the Uchiha more easily!"
"As for that earlier thought, I didn't rigidly implement it in practice, because I was, after all, the Hokage, the head of Konoha's big family."
"So I took Uchiha Kagami as my student. I planned to use Kagami as a bridge, gradually improving my relationship with the Uchiha, increasing the number of Uchiha who leaned towards the village and decreasing those who only cared about the clan!"
"This way, by the time of the Third, or even the Fourth Hokage, we could have an Uchiha become Hokage!"
"Once that happened, the Uchiha would be completely integrated into the village!"
"But unfortunately..." At this point, Tobirama shook his head.
"I made a mistake."
"A mistake everyone makes."
As he spoke, Tobirama revealed a bitter smile: "I died!"
"Ah, this..."
Hearing Tobirama's words, everyone was stunned!
