Crossover Anime: Plundering the Heavens and Building a Dimensional Empire

Page 77

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression immediately changed.

Tsunade's understanding is entirely due to you, you evil Uchiha! How could you have influenced Tsunade so much? It's all because of you that we are in this situation today.

I know you're no ordinary Uchiha. Judging from your attempt to ruin my reputation, I know you're an extremely cunning and treacherous Uchiha.

You are different from those arrogant and conceited Uchiha. You are too scheming and extremely cunning, just like... yes, the Second Hokage, Tobirama-sensei!

Your style of doing things is quite similar to his.

"Bai Mu, you've gone too far," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a stern face.

extreme?

Am I being extreme?

Good grief, your actions prove that I am not wrong, not that I am wrong in any particular way.

Bai Mu sneered, "Then let me ask you, did you even go to the battlefield during the Second Shinobi World War? We won't delve into whether there were any inside stories surrounding the Second Hokage's death in the First Shinobi World War—we don't know for sure anyway—but as members of the Shadow Guard, your failure to fulfill your duties was a mistake in itself. And during the Second Shinobi World War, you members of the Shadow Guard seemed to have no intention of proving yourselves; you just hid in the rear, claiming to be commanding the battle. What kind of nonsense is that?"

The curses were too dirty.

This is a big problem for Hiruzen Sarutobi.

That's not how it should be understood. There's absolutely nothing wrong with us commanding the operation; it's our duty. Is it wrong for me to be in charge at the central command?

Bai Mu didn't care what you said, he just kept talking.

"Since then, you haven't been on the battlefield. Danzo is alright, he's just disgusting people with his Root clan. I just don't know if he's stealing the eyes of Uchiha clan members who died in battle, or if he's doing something shady."

Stealing the Sharingan.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi really couldn't hold back anymore. Danzo wouldn't go that far; he wouldn't personally get involved. This was unfair to him.

"Nonsense, Uchiha Hakubaku, you evil brat, you're just slandering me." Danzo, who had just been resurrected, immediately flew into a rage upon hearing this.

slander.

That's pure slander.

Danzo firmly rejected this explanation.

But Bai Mu completely ignored this clown. In reality, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura had no way out and could not possibly win a fight.

Most importantly, the old set of fixed phrases were no longer useful. The Konoha ninja clans basically sided with Tsunade and chose Tsunade's side.

With the power you currently possess, Hiruzen Sarutobi, how can you possibly contend against the forces led by the Uchiha clan, along with Tsunade, other major ninja clans, and some commoner ninjas?

You can't beat them, right?

That's right. Now that the ninja clans no longer have their support, they could have used the village's power to suppress the Uchiha. But now that the major ninja clans have chosen Tsunade and sided with her, it means that Hiruzen Sarutobi has been abandoned.

So what if he's Naruto?

It's no longer working.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is now in dire straits. It's no longer a question of whether he will live or die, but rather about his reputation after death. He can't possibly go to the Pure Land bearing the reputation of being a sinner of Konoha, can he?

If that were the case, he, as Hokage, would be a disgrace in Konoha's history. But Hiruzen Sarutobi did not want to be disgraced. He still wanted to maintain his glorious image: "I am the longest-serving Hokage. I led Konoha to glory and won the Fourth Shinobi World War."

I am the absolute winner, P!

After Tobirama's death, I took up the mantle of Konoha during the First Shinobi World War. It was during my leadership that I worked hard to integrate Konoha's resources and balance the power of the various ninja clans, laying a favorable foundation for victory in the Second Shinobi World War.

Without my prior arrangements, victory in the Second Shinobi World War would not have been so easy. Moreover, I was the one who trained Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade; they were all my disciples.

Needless to say, I rely heavily on White Fang. In addition, there are the contributions of the various ninja clans. Without my prior planning, how could these ninja clans have so easily sent their elites to the battlefield?

It was my efforts that led to the victory in the Second Shinobi World War. You evil Uchiha brat, don't even think about erasing my contribution!

"Bai Mu, no matter what grievances you have, you shouldn't have taken it this far. Your rise to power through a coup will only influence future generations. This kind of behavior will be imitated by others. You really shouldn't have done this."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was filled with anger, but he was truly helpless. After much thought, he could only make a fuss about a coup. He thought that their actions would affect future generations.

What should we do if people follow suit in the future?

Don't you think this is setting a bad example? Your actions are even worse than mine.

Who would do something like that? What village would have such a situation? A coup is the most extreme thing to do, and we shouldn't do that.

Bai Mu wasn't buying it. He immediately gave him an example, a very familiar one at that.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, just give me a break. What's with this 'imitate' stuff? There's no such thing. Didn't Kinkaku and Ginkaku of Kumogakure do the same thing before? They killed the Second Raikage and our Second Hokage. You haven't forgotten, have you?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face darkened, while Danzo was filled with impotent rage, roaring, "Bullshit! Second Hokage, it's not your place to talk like that. You have no right to say such things."

Bai Mu didn't care about Danzo's opinion, and instead revealed a mocking smile: "That's right, if it weren't for you guys being a burden, how could the Second Hokage have died? Although I have some issues with Tobirama Senju, after all, that guy is quite hypocritical."

"Hey, hey, hey, you can talk about them, but why are you talking about my great-grandfather?" Tsunade frowned slightly, rolling her eyes to express her displeasure.

Chapter 95 Danzo: I don't believe that woman Tsunade can tolerate this. Watch me turn the tide!

What?

Where did my second grandfather apply double standards?

Bai Mu, don't go too far with your words.

We're in a coup right now, so let's resolve this as quickly as possible. Why drag my great-uncle into this? I don't think you can just mess around like this to ruin the reputation of the Third Hokage and Danzo.

Of course, Danzo's reputation was already utterly ruined.

Hiruzen Sarutobi actually had both merits and demerits.

You can't just deny everything and assume that everything you say is wrong, right?

He is the Third Hokage, the current Hokage of the village. Even if he was forced to step down, it can't all be considered a mistake. Otherwise, it would be wrong to say that any of his achievements and political accomplishments during his tenure were wrong.

If that's the case, then what about the ninjas who were active during this period?

"Is the Second Hokage alright?"

Bai Mu looked at Tsunade and asked her with a smile.

Tsunade:"……"

I'm not even sure if there's a problem now.

Judging from your criticism of the Third Hokage, who knows what you've prepared for the Second Hokage? I'm definitely getting nervous...

Hmm, do you want me to answer?

This is a difficult question to answer.

If you say no, what if Bai Mu really finds something wrong with you? Wouldn't that ruin your own second grandfather's reputation? But if you say yes... well, that still won't work.

Alright, I'll stay silent.

Tsunade decided to remain silent.

You can't force me to speak if I don't want to, can you?

Bai Mu ignored this, saying that whether you speak or not, he would continue talking, mainly because Senju Tobirama had given him the opportunity.

His own actions are the epitome of double standards.

The most prominent example of this is found in Naruto.

"The position of First Hokage was initially only open to Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. Hashirama was willing to let Madara become Hokage, but Tobirama Senju stepped in to stop him, saying that the Hokage position must be elected by the people. Moreover, Hashirama was the most popular choice within the village at the time, and even within the Uchiha clan, there was little support for Madara. He couldn't even protect his own clan's core support base, so it can only be said that Madara was a complete failure."

Regarding this issue, Bai Mu not only exposed Tobirama Senju's double standards, but also pointed out that Madara Uchiha himself had a lot of problems. If you can't even manage your own clan's core base, then don't even talk about vying for the Hokage position.

Of course, Madara Uchiha didn't care, but both within the Uchiha clan and within the village, there was absolute distrust of him.

Therefore, this is what disappointed Madara Uchiha. The village he had worked so hard to build had, in the end, left him with nowhere to live.

More importantly, he was secretly guided by Black Zetsu to see the stone tablet at the Naga Shrine, which led Madara Uchiha to make the decision to leave Konoha.

"Bai Mu, Lord Ban shouldn't be blamed."

Bai Mu's words displeased some of the old guard within the Uchiha clan, especially the hawks who blindly worshipped Madara Uchiha.

You only mentioned Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage, so why include Madara Uchiha in the whole thing? The way you're talking makes it clear you don't respect Madara at all...

No, are all young people this arrogant these days?

In response, Bai Mu shrugged and sneered, "Me, accusing him?"

Have it?

Nothing.

After a pause, Bai Mu continued, "I only said he was no good, and what you're saying is useless. When he left, did anyone from the Uchiha clan follow him? Especially those old bastards with waterlogged brains, led by Uchiha Setsuna, why didn't they go with Uchiha Madara back then?"

answer me!

When Madara Uchiha left, why didn't you old men follow him? Now you're all shouting "Madara-sama" at him? Madara my foot!

If Madara Uchiha found out, he would just berate you bunch of cowards.

What Uchiha Setsuna, what Uchiha Madara's will successor? There are quite a few old men like that among your group of hawks, but when asked why they didn't follow along back then, they all start stammering.

It was precisely because of dissatisfaction with Tobirama Senju's policies that he regretted it, and in order to fight against Tobirama Senju, he had no choice but to raise the banner of Madara Uchiha.

There's no other way; if you don't have the strength yourself, you have to borrow someone else's help.

Who is the most powerful person in the Uchiha clan? Isn't it Madara Uchiha? So this is why they need Madara Uchiha's name to attract people and supporters.

Otherwise, how can the clansmen provide support?

Forget it, he's a coward at heart. He has no ability but tries to intimidate people by waving a big flag. What do you think he can do? Don't kid me, really don't kid me.

The hawkish elders of the Uchiha clan immediately fell silent.

Of course, they weren't without their own reasons. For example, they said that we were young back then and had no choice. How old were we then? We were too young to walk.

But these words of explanation were simply impossible to utter, so these stubborn old folks could only respond in silence.

The Uchiha's group of hawkish old fogies had nothing to say, but Danzo had something to say. He believed that Hakumoku was courting death, and that it was one thing to criticize him or Hiruzen.

Talking about the Second Hokage?

That means you're just asking for trouble.

I refuse to believe that woman Tsunade can tolerate this. Watch me turn the tide!

Danzo immediately seized on this and launched into a long speech: "How dare you, a born evil Uchiha, speak of the Second Hokage? You're just stirring up trouble..."
