Her network of connections is not what it used to be, and it's impossible for her to win over anyone. So, the only thing she can rely on is the Uchiha clan.
The Uchiha clan is an inherently evil clan. Tobirama-sensei was right. The Uchiha are indeed to be wary of, otherwise they can easily cause trouble. And now this has happened.
Danzo was extremely agitated and erupted in anger: "I don't care about her background! If she truly knew her origins, she wouldn't associate with the inherently evil Uchiha clan! What did Tobirama-sensei say? She completely ignored him, or she was being controlled. That brat Uchiha Hakuba controlled Tsunade, which is why she's become like this. She insists on changing Hokage; this is all part of the Uchiha's conspiracy..."
Danzo, who was getting more and more agitated, almost choked on his breath and had to pause to catch his breath before continuing, "Hiruzen, I've said it before, the Uchiha are a huge threat, especially that brat Uchiha Hakubaku, he should have been killed long ago."
"Didn't they kill him?"
Speaking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi got angry. His own son had been sacrificed, and he was being asked whether to kill him or not? It was because he made a rash decision to kill in a moment of anger that he had given away his son.
Enraged, Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "Don't forget, Danzo, it was your Root organization's incompetence that led to the failure. I haven't even settled the score with you for that yet, so you should be grateful!"
Danzo: "..."
No, how can you blame me?
You can't blame me just because your son died, can you?
As Hiruzen Sarutobi's best friend, he naturally knew the meaning behind Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, which was nothing more than blaming himself for harming Hiruzen Sarutobi.
But can we blame him for this?
No, absolutely not, you can't blame them!
"Hiruzen, now we have to deal with Tsunade's coup attempt. Since she wants you to step down, she will definitely make trouble tomorrow. The Uchiha clan will definitely cooperate, and a military confrontation is inevitable."
Mitokado Homura bluntly stated that there was no way out; their only option now was to annihilate the Uchiha clan. If Tsunade insisted on going down this path, then they would have no choice but to kill her.
The First Hokage had already stated that anyone who threatens the village will be spared, even if they are brothers, friends, or children, in order to protect the village. Therefore, it's not that Tsunade is incapable of being killed.
Because Tsunade has betrayed the Will of Fire, and for the sake of the Will of Fire, those who betray the Will of Fire should be eliminated.
"I already told you a few days ago, are you ready?" Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that there was no time to hesitate now, especially since he had given instructions two days ago, so were you all ready?
"They are already on standby."
Mitokado and Koharu immediately replied.
They all knew that the glory of their family was inseparable from their current positions, and how did they get these positions? Naturally, it was thanks to Hiruzen Sarutobi being the Hokage. But if Hiruzen Sarutobi were forced to step down, their current status and power would be gone. So, in order not to lose all of this, they had no choice but to fight back with force.
Alright, let's welcome tomorrow!
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, indicating his satisfaction. This meant that everything would be decided tomorrow, and that Konoha would ultimately be the winner.
As for Danzo?
That goes without saying.
Because he was the most nervous.
Without his protection, Danzo was doomed.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was well aware of this, so there was no need for further explanation.
Danzo was well aware of this. Even without Hiruzen Sarutobi saying anything, he had already mobilized all the elite troops of the Root organization to return after learning the outcome of the Battle of Kumogakure, all for the sake of saving his own life.
In retrospect, my decision was perfectly correct.
Otherwise, my life would be in danger.
……
The next day, morning.
The atmosphere in Konoha was noticeably different, filled with a palpable sense of impending doom, and the streets, which should have been bustling, were practically deserted.
On one hand, some of the troublemakers in Konoha noticed something was wrong and realized that the atmosphere in the village was not right, so they chose to stay at home.
On the other hand, the security department directly imposed martial law, which prevented some Konoha villagers from leaving even if they wanted to. This was because the security department was not to be trifled with; no matter how fierce the Konoha villagers were, they dared not offend the Uchiha clan ninjas.
Even if a few stubborn civilians tried to force their way in, the members of the garrison were following orders from above and simply pinned them to the ground and dragged them away, showing absolutely no mercy.
The mobilization of the entire Security Department signifies Bai Mu's reorganization of the Uchiha clan's vital armed forces. The Security Department has been transformed into his exclusive agency, with members of the White Flame Society joining, coupled with the transformation of the hawkish Uchiha faction.
The Uchiha clan believes in the supremacy of the strong. Given the power that Bai Mu has demonstrated, the hawkish Uchiha will only obey. Even if some are unwilling, they are only a small minority, and those who are unwilling will have to report to the Pure Land.
Simple, efficient, that makes perfect sense!
Chapter 79 Tsunade: Was it the Uchiha who rebelled? No, it was me!
Thanks to the sweeping reforms of the security department by Uchiha Natsumi, its execution and operational efficiency have been improved. Once deployed, it can quickly and accurately control most areas of the village, except for the area around the Hokage Building, and martial law has been imposed.
Inside the Hokage Building, Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, along with Konoha's high-ranking officials and clan leaders, were present, but the leaders of the Ino-Shika-Cho clans were not.
They were still on the front lines because they needed to guard against a potential counterattack from the Hidden Cloud Village. Even though everyone knew that the Hidden Cloud Village was no longer able to fight, Tsunade had already issued such an order, and after weighing the pros and cons, Nara Shikaku decided to accept the order.
The clan leaders of Konoha's various ninja clans sat solemnly in their respective positions, all having access to information about the situation on the front lines.
Tsunade, the princess of the Senju clan, one of the three legendary ninja of Konoha, and a disciple of the Third Hokage, is about to become the new Hokage.
Judging from the current atmosphere, it's clearly not an atmosphere for rewarding merit.
Is there going to be a coup?
The Aburame and Inuzuka clans were alright, but the smaller clans were really panicking, and some commoner Jonin were unwilling to get involved.
An ANBU member suddenly appeared, quickly approaching Hiruzen Sarutobi from behind and quietly reporting intelligence.
"The entire security force was mobilized and a blockade was imposed, which was called martial law."
Swarming out in full force?
Has Uchiha Hakubaku already taken control of the Security Department?
That secret group actually has such abilities. Aren't those young Uchiha just hot-headed, brainless idiots?
To be able to take control of the security force in such a short time, this group of people...
I underestimated them, I really underestimated them.
Hiruzen Sarutobi now regrets it.
Young people are not to be trifled with. I was really careless and was fooled by a group of young people. I thought it was just playing house, but I didn't expect it to be such a big threat.
"Hiruzen, what happened?" Danzo had been watching Hiruzen Sarutobi the whole time, and when he saw that Hiruzen's expression was unnatural, he immediately realized that something had changed.
"The Security Department has sealed off all parts of Konoha. The Uchiha clan is about to rebel!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said slowly, looking at everyone in the conference room with a serious expression.
rebel!
The Uchiha clan has rebelled?
Upon hearing this news, the clan leaders of various clans were in an uproar, especially those from smaller clans, who were completely panicked, as were some of the Jonin.
Konoha's current high-end combat power is severely lacking. The number of Jonin has been drastically reduced and is completely insufficient. So what should be done in this situation?
Since the Uchiha clan is going to rebel, it must be related to Uchiha Hakumu, who is a ruthless person who killed the Third Mizukage and the Fourth Raikage in succession.
Most importantly, they were able to defeat most of the three thousand elite Cloud Hidden Army soldiers; that's some kind of combat power...
Who can stop them? Them?
Just kidding!
The Jonin who stay behind in the village may not necessarily have the strength, and while the various ninja clans are not without strength, they are currently forced to send many of their elite members to the battlefield due to the war.
The most typical example is the three clans of pig, deer, and butterfly, where the clan leaders personally took to the field.
Now, even those attending the meetings are just representatives from within the clan.
Are you really going to go all in?
That's impossible; the clan chief hasn't spoken.
What can they do?
Furthermore, who was the Uchiha rebellion targeting? Everyone knows perfectly well that it was aimed at the Hokage faction, which was led by Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane.
Although we ninja clans are all members of Konoha, the real power lies with your Hokage faction. So what say do we have?
Furthermore, it's likely that it wasn't just the Uchiha who rebelled, but also Tsunade.
She even stood up and demanded that you, the third generation leader, step down.
So what can we do?
There is a conflict between you and your master.
We can't possibly get involved, can we?
What if you get away with it afterward? Wouldn't all of us involved become clowns?
"The Uchiha rebellion is now confirmed to be true, and the most important thing now is to suppress the rebellion, so you all cannot be soft-hearted now."
Danzo Shimura stood up and spoke with righteous indignation.
The inherently evil Uchiha clan must be dealt with, and you are all Konoha ninjas, so you should fight for Konoha and suppress the rebellion.
Danzo's despicable behavior has truly disgusted many ninja clans. The Uchiha clan is not well-liked, but Danzo is no better. Which of the ninja clans here hasn't been ravaged by Danzo?
What's most disgusting is that, under the guise of serving the village, they forcibly demanded manpower from various clans and drew elite ninjas from major clans. Such behavior is even more disgusting than that of the Uchiha clan.
After all, the Uchiha clan is arrogant, but at least they haven't done these things. If you can't afford to offend them, can't you just avoid them?
But Danzo is different; there's no way to hide from him.
Only the Hyuga clan could refuse this matter.
After all, they have their own patriarchal system.
Even if Danzo forced it, it would be useless.
The branch family's ninjas were useless; when their interests clashed with those of the main family, the main family simply used the Caged Bird Seal to eliminate them.
They wanted members of the main branch of the Hyuga clan, but the Hyuga clan wouldn't agree, and Danzo couldn't force them. Ordinary clan members were just useless and couldn't provide any help at all.
boom!
The conference room door was kicked open.
Tsunade appeared at the doorway, her face as cold as water, her eyes flashing with icy light as she looked at everyone present.
"Is it the Uchiha who rebelled? No, it should be me! Third Hokage, you are old. Occupying the Hokage position is of no benefit to anyone, and certainly not to Konoha. Moreover, this war has exposed your fatal weakness: your indecisiveness, poor command, and conservative approach have caused you to lose your ambition. Konoha should not have suffered such a huge loss. It is because of your hesitation that we are in this situation. So, will you step down with dignity, or with disgrace?"
