"Enough, Danzo. I am the Hokage, and the decision is mine." Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and then warned Danzo Shimura in a serious tone.
"Hiruzen, you will regret this."
"Remember, I am the Hokage!"
Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly engaged in a dramatic exchange, leaving everyone present speechless. Didn't they realize the occasion? What were they thinking, suddenly acting so crazy? It's insane!
Seeing this, Tsunade's lips twitched involuntarily; she really couldn't bear it any longer. Just as she was about to speak, Bai Mu spoke first.
He opened his arms and burst into wild laughter: "You all say that we Uchiha have betrayed us, but how can it be considered true if we don't actually do it? Of course, in your eyes we are betraying you, but in my eyes we are overthrowing the decay of Konoha and establishing a new Konoha, not the decaying Konoha controlled by you old fogies!"
"Hiruzen, you saw it, this guy has already admitted it, what else is there to say now? Let's do it." Danzo snorted heavily, his eyes filled with hatred as he stared at Bai Mu.
admitted.
Since they've already admitted it, what's there to hesitate about?
Kill them, just wipe out the Uchiha clan. Even Tsunade is no exception. She chose to cooperate with the Uchiha clan. Even if she is the granddaughter of the First and Second Hokage, she cannot be allowed to live.
Of course, you can choose not to kill him, but you should lock him up.
Danzo's intention was clear: he had to act swiftly and decisively to wipe out the Uchiha clan. Meanwhile, Root ninjas had begun to appear, though there were only three of them, all of whom were Jonin.
After all, although the conference room is large, it's impossible to imagine it accommodating so many people. However, the people outside must have already gathered, and their numbers must be considerable.
Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that the situation was beyond repair, but he needed to know Tsunade's attitude to see if it was truly irreversible, so he asked again.
"Tsunade, have you truly chosen to betray the First and Second Hokage and cooperate with the Uchiha?"
Tsunade said in a deep voice, "Third Hokage, you must remember one thing: you cannot represent the Will of Fire. Moreover, regarding my great-grandfather's matter, I am very curious whether it is really as you say. After all, the Shadow Guard is supposed to protect the Hokage, but the Hokage is dead. As Uchiha Hakumoku said, there are many suspicious points behind this matter..."
Before Tsunade could finish speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted her, "Tsunade, I am your teacher. After decades, am I not as good as Uchiha Hakubaki? Has he known you for even a few days or a month? I have been teaching you for twenty years, and I am not as good as Uchiha Hakubaki in the time he has known you? You believe him, but not me, and not Lady Mito?"
"If we were lying, with Lady Mito's abilities, there's no way she wouldn't have discovered it. So, would she support us?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi made it clear that if we were lying, Mito Uzumaki would not support us, so Tsunade, don't be misled.
These words sparked a discussion among the crowd, primarily among the ninja clan members.
Of course, Kurenai Yuhi looked at Tsunade. He still hoped that the problem could be resolved peacefully, and that if there was no real coup d'état in chapter 563, it would only lead to internal strife in Konoha.
Once the village falls into internal strife, no matter who wins, the village will suffer the most. As a Jonin of the village, Yuhi Shinku does not want this to happen.
Tsunade remained silent, but then looked at Bai Mu, as if to say, "You handle this."
After all, you were the one who proposed it, and now that they've refuted it, what do you suggest we do?
Bai Mu sneered, "Third Hokage, what you're saying is useless. The fact is, the Second Hokage died, you survived, and then you, Hiruzen Sarutobi, became Hokage. The status of those around you rose sharply after you became Hokage, and your clan also experienced rapid development."
He paused, then looked at Mitomon Homura and Utatane Koharu, and said coldly, "Especially the Mitomon and Utatane families, which were originally just ordinary small families, have grown and expanded because of their advisory positions. Over the years, how much have they embezzled? They've become incredibly wealthy, haven't they?"
Don't tell me these things, I'll just present the facts to you.
Over the years, has your family experienced rapid growth? What has enabled this? Isn't it simply due to the change in your social status?
Hokage, Hokage's assistant, Hokage's advisor—the four of you have firmly grasped power in Konoha. But how has Konoha developed over the years, and how have your respective clans fared?
Chapter 84 If you can't even treat everyone fairly, what kind of Hokage are you!
"You are so slanderous!"
Koharu, who was turning over a new room, was unusually angry.
How can you spread such rumors? It's complete nonsense.
"That's right, Hiruzen, that guy has gone mad. We can't forget the Second Hokage's teachings, we must deal with the evil Uchiha!"
Mitokado Homura followed closely behind, urging Sarutobi Hiruzen to act now, as they could no longer wait.
"Hiruzen, En and Koharu are right. We can't let the Uchiha clan run rampant like this. Uchiha Hakubaki is smearing us. We must deal with him."
Danzo stood behind three Root ninjas, under their protection, and made a suggestion to Hiruzen Sarutobi in a very serious tone. He genuinely hoped to resolve the Uchiha clan issue here.
"It seems there's no way to salvage this situation, Tsunade. Let me tell you, a coup isn't that easy. I'm not so old that I can't move. Don't think I'm no good."
Hiruzen Sarutobi removed his divine robe, revealing his combat uniform underneath, which was already the answer.
Tsunade took a deep look at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had already entered a battle stance, and then said softly, "Alright, in that case, might makes right, just like my great-grandfather. Only by defeating Madara Uchiha can one have a voice."
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone disappeared from the meeting room.
Once again, everyone arrived outside the Hokage Building, which was now filled with ninjas, including Uchiha, Anbu, Root, and others.
Of course, the most important thing is the Allied Shinobi Forces led by the Sarutobi clan, which includes the Shimura, Mitokado, and Utatane clans.
All the elite troops were deployed.
The Hyuga, Inuzuka, Aburame, and other ninja clans could all see that the Sarutobi clan and the other three clans had mobilized their elite ninjas, numbering at least several hundred. And these hundreds of ninjas were not cannon fodder, but the elite of the elite.
Among them, there are at least a hundred Jonin, more than two hundred Special Jonin, and nearly five hundred Chunin, but the main force among them should be the Sarutobi clan.
The Shimura clan was already badly ravaged by Danzo, so they didn't have many elite ninjas. The Mito and Utatane clans combined had more elite ninjas than the Shimura clan, but compared to the Sarutobi clan, they were completely outmatched.
Of course, these 800-plus elite ninjas only include the ninjas of the four clans, including Sarutobi, and do not include the ninjas of the Anbu or Danzo's Root elite force.
In terms of sheer numbers of ninjas, the Uchiha clan certainly couldn't compete. However, the elite members of the Uchiha clan had also arrived here, led by Uchiha Natsumi himself, with the White Flame Society and the Security Department as the main forces.
In addition, Uchiha Mina and others are also here. The main force of the Uchiha clan on the front line of Kirigakure has long since returned. Although they are still outnumbered, their strength is different.
These are all elites who have fought their way back from the battlefield, and their aura is on a completely different level. Don't be fooled by the large number of people on Hiruzen Sarutobi's side; the only ones who can truly fight are the elites from the Anbu, Root, and the Sarutobi clan.
The other three clans are mostly incompetent; they're only good for putting on a show. So, it's clear that Hiruzen Sarutobi still needs to rely on other ninja clans and get them to clearly choose sides.
If they support it, the situation will be completely different, but the White Shepherd point is still difficult to handle.
Hopefully his eyesight is failing, to the point of near blindness, otherwise it will be very difficult to deal with.
If only Jiraiya and Orochimaru were here.
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi has already sent someone to make contact.
Especially Orochimaru's side, but...
Too much water can't quench a fire nearby. Orochimaru didn't have time to lead his army back. Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that he could only rely on the forces he had at hand to kill the Uchiha clan.
The inherently evil Uchiha clan poses a truly immense threat.
"Lord Hokage, is there really no way to salvage this?" Yuhi Shinku stepped forward and asked Hiruzen Sarutobi once more, hoping there was still a chance to turn things around.
"No."
Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that since they had already torn off all pretense of civility, there was no need to be polite anymore. He looked at Bai Mu with a furious expression and said coldly, "It is the Uchiha clan that doesn't know what's good for them, and I have already done my best."
Is it really my choice to do this?
No, it's the Uchiha clan that's gone too far.
They're going to rebel, they're going to instigate a rebellion, and as the Hokage, I have to stop it from happening, so you can't blame me.
For Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade's choice disappointed him, and Hakuba's relentless pressure put him under immense pressure. Now that everything was out in the open, there was no need to put on an act anymore.
The Uchiha clan must die.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, you're such a hypocrite."
The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha was furious, glaring fiercely at Hiruzen Sarutobi, wishing he could devour the old man alive. He hated Hiruzen Sarutobi and his superiors to the core.
If it weren't for you, my Uchiha clan wouldn't have to live such a difficult life.
Danzo's petty actions were all tolerated by you, the Hokage.
If you can't even treat everyone fairly, what kind of Hokage are you?
"Insolence, Uchiha Eighth Hokage! You should be on the front lines. Your presence here proves that the Uchiha clan has been plotting this for a long time..."
Without thinking, Xiaochun blurted out a sentence when she turned to the dormitory.
But before Xiaochun could finish speaking, her voice abruptly stopped.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others felt strange, and then looked at Koharu Utatane. After seeing her clearly, they felt a chill.
Koharu Utatane's body had been pierced by a golden longsword, which was clearly not an ordinary sword, but a longsword in energy form.
Uchiha's Susanoo!
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura immediately understood. Following the direction of the longsword, they saw that it was indeed Shiramaki's Susanoo that had pierced through Koharu Utatane's body with the longsword.
Did they suddenly make their move?
That was incredibly daring, but more importantly, it was too fast; it was completely invisible.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was solemn, and his eyes revealed an unprecedented sense of apprehension. The speed at which Susanoo materialized and then killed Koharu was astonishing.
Most importantly, Bai Mu's use of Susanoo is undoubtedly extremely proficient, which means... yes, he has used it a lot.
This means that his eyes are probably not going to hold up.
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi was surprised and wary, he also felt that Bai Mu's eyes were nearing their limit and that he couldn't possibly withstand using the Mangekyou Sharingan so many times.
The side effects are obvious. The Second Hokage's research on the Uchiha clan is definitely not wrong.
".Koharu!"
Mitokado Homura cried out in panic, his voice sharp and tinged with fear. He was truly terrified as he looked at Koharu Utatane, who had been suddenly killed.
"Oh, and you're one of those who slipped through the net. Go join her too! Don't worry, one by one. Your destination is to report to the Pure Land."
A sinister smile flashed across Bai Mu's face, but his movements were anything but slow. His left arm, the half-body Susanoo, controlled a golden energy sword and cleaved it in half at the waist.
Koharu Utatane's body still hung on the longsword on her right arm, while the other advisor, Homura Mitokado, was killed in a single blow by Shiramaki.
Chapter 85 Third Generation, you really are hypocritical.
One is chillingly cold, the other is cut in half.
They all died in different ways, but what they had in common was that they all died very quickly.
After Bai Mu completed the double kill, he dispelled the longsword of Susanoo, but the half-body Susanoo was still maintained. Moreover, it was not a skeleton, but a half-body Susanoo made of bones, flesh, and armor. It seemed as if a demon god had descended to earth. This was Bai Mu's Susanoo, which was only half-body.
Danzo looked at his two dead friends with a gloomy expression. It wasn't that he was very sad, but he felt that Bai Mu was ruthless and had no martial ethics, launching a sudden sneak attack.
Before the war even started, our side had already lost two important figures. Even if we couldn't count on them too much, they were still combatants, and to have them killed so quickly...
The blow to our own morale is immeasurable!
