talk?

Neither side is likely to negotiate.

When Hiashi Hyuga said that, nobody took it seriously and ignored it completely.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced around, observing everyone's reactions. Clearly, no one took Hiashi Hyuga's words seriously, but the problem was that no one was willing to take a clear side.

But if that's the case, then I'm not very confident.

Without Tsunade leading the charge, Konoha could still fight the Uchiha clan with its overall strength. However, with Tsunade involved, it would be impossible to keep the major ninja clans firmly committed to their positions.

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi first sighed, and then tried to calm Tsunade down by retreating.

"Tsunade, are you still going to hold onto Danzo? I will deal with him, but as for the Hokage position, I really must step down."

Thus, I dealt with Danzo.

I will also step down from the position of Hokage.

But you can't get involved with that evil Uchiha, Bai Mu.

"Hiruzen!"

However, Danzo became anxious upon hearing this and roared without thinking, "Didn't we agree to kill the Uchiha?"

Why did you change your mind again? What are you trying to do? I don't understand!

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "..."

You are really stupid.

Don't you understand what I mean?

Damn it, Danzo, he's so stupid.

"Third Hokage, stop with this nonsense. Danzo must die, and all of you old folks must step down. Konoha needs to enter a new era. We can't let you bunch of rotten old fogies continue to wreak havoc on Konoha."

"Konoha was founded by my great-grandfather and Madara Uchiha, and it also contains the hard work of my great-grandfather. I cannot let this village perish because of you. If you continue to do what you are doing, Konoha will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later."

Tsunade, of course, did not believe this. Even at this point, she was still thinking about sowing discord between herself and Bai Mu. The problem is, you have no idea that I have already established a close relationship with him. I have already boarded this guy's pirate ship. How can I escape now?

Third Hokage, you've been rendered obsolete by the times.

After today, Konoha will usher in a new chapter, and with your stubbornness, you can only make an undignified exit. This is your end!

"Absurd, Tsunade, you're talking nonsense." Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and the others were extremely agitated. Tsunade's statement completely erased their existence.

Hiruzen Sarutobi will lead Konoha to its destruction; isn't that referring to his entire group?

After all, whether it's Danzo, the Hokage, assisting them, or these two advisors, they all exist based on Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage. If Hiruzen Sarutobi becomes the blade of destruction of Konoha, then what are they?

"Haha, Hiruzen, did you see that? Tsunade has gone mad." Danzo was actually gloating at this moment. You raised such a good disciple, and this is the kind of thing you produced?

She's openly opposing you, and she's even belittling your achievements as Hokage over the past decades. So, can you tolerate this?

Hiruzen, you should set an example!

"Tsunade, you've gone mad. To bring up a sinner like Madara Uchiha, you're simply insane." Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his chest, and looked at Tsunade with a cold gaze, speaking in a chilling tone.

crazy.

Really crazy.

Even Madara Uchiha was brought up.

Tsunade, you have truly betrayed the Will of Fire, betrayed the ideals of the First and Second Hokage. Today I am truly going to clean house, and all of this is to preserve the foundation of Konoha.

As soon as Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, Bai Mu immediately retorted: "Alright, Third Hokage, Konoha was founded on the foundation of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. Without them, where would Konoha be? And what has become of the two great clans that founded Konoha? Third Hokage, Konoha under your rule is truly thriving. The Uchiha clan is suspected and suppressed, and the Senju clan is reduced to just Tsunade. Tell me, who is responsible for this mess?"

Chapter 82 The Shadow Guard is back, the Hokage is dead, is this reasonable?

Without the Senju and Uchiha clans, how could Konoha have been established?

It can be said that the emergence of ninja villages was due to Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha's pursuit of peace; otherwise, where would the system of one village per country come from?

Furthermore, the peace of the ninja world was plunged into even greater war because of the peace that Hashirama Senju pursued.

During the Warring States period, battles were fought between clans, but with the establishment of ninja villages, they became battles between villages and rivalries between major powers.

War is far more brutal, and even more people die.

Danzo snorted coldly and immediately launched into a tirade: "Uchiha Hakumoku, you're utterly insolent! Do you think you're invincible just because you have the Mangekyou Sharingan? It's uncertain whether your eyes can even withstand the strain, so what are you being so arrogant about? It's laughable! Furthermore, the actions of your Uchiha clan are nothing short of an open betrayal of Konoha. If everyone acted like you Uchiha, would the village still be a village? Wouldn't it just become a tool for some of you?"

"Danzo, are you introducing yourself? Isn't the village now controlled by you old fogies, making it a mess? Don't you have any shame when you say that? You can't believe you say such things. Danzo, your skin is really thick."

Bai Mu smiled faintly, and his Sharingan slowly emerged. The three tomoe rotated leisurely, emitting an eerie aura. The terrifying power of his eyes put immense pressure on everyone present.

"Uchiha Hakumu, you're spouting nonsense."

Mitomon En and Utatane Koharu couldn't accept it and immediately retorted angrily, strongly stating that Shiramaki was slandering them and making baseless accusations.

Danzo, on the contrary, remained calm. At this point, there was no need to argue anymore; they had already broken off all pretense of civility. Moreover, all the major ninja clans were present, even if some clan leaders, such as the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, were absent.

But so what?

Tsunade, being stubborn, had already denounced them as the culprits who were trying to destroy Konoha. Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi was indecisive, he couldn't tolerate his achievements over the years being portrayed as worthless.

That's impossible!

This touches on Hiruzen Sarutobi's bottom line, so Danzo is now very calm. There's no way he can back down anymore; it's a life-or-death struggle.

Today, either they die, or the Uchiha clan and Tsunade die; there is no other possibility.

You want to play, huh?

Okay, take your time.

Bai Mu smiled calmly and said coldly, "To be honest, I don't quite understand. You are the Second Hokage's Shadow Guard, right? So how come you, as members of the Shadow Guard, came back alive, while the Hokage you were protecting died, and yet some of you are able to succeed as Hokage? Isn't that a joke? You are the Shadow Guard, and your duty is to protect the Hokage, but the Hokage died, and you are completely unharmed. Instead, you are all in high positions. Isn't that absurd?"

After these questions were raised, the expressions on the faces of the various ninja clan leaders and representatives present were quite interesting, as they all pondered the underlying meaning, whether it was true or false.

Bai Mu continued to smile, looking at everyone and asking, "Gentlemen, have you never had any doubts?"

Without waiting for a response, Bai Mu turned to Tsunade and said in a deep voice, "Lady Tsunade, don't you think this is very strange? Ever since Hiruzen Sarutobi became the Third Hokage, their Second Hokage's Shadow Guard has always held the reins of power in the village, but Uchiha Kagami died mysteriously, and Akimichi Torifu hid in the clan's territory and didn't come out. There's something wrong with this no matter how you look at it."

The Shadow Guard consisted of six people, but after returning, Hiruzen Sarutobi became the Hokage, Danzo Shimura was his right-hand man and assistant to the Hokage, and Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane were advisors.

So what happened to Uchiha Kagami?

He died inexplicably and very young. Akimichi Torifu had a weak presence and gradually faded out of the village's upper echelons. Isn't all of this strange?

Hiruzen Sarutobi was both shocked and panicked. He really didn't expect Bai Mu to pull this stunt at this time. Who said that all members of the Uchiha clan were brainless?

They're actually resorting to underhanded tactics?

Logically speaking, shouldn't the Uchiha clan resolve this issue directly through force?

Some things can't stand scrutiny, but Hiruzen Sarutobi knew he couldn't panic, so after calming himself down, he immediately rebuked, "Uchiha Hakumoku, don't try to change the subject. There's nothing wrong with this. The Second Hokage sacrificed himself to cover for us. It was for the future of Konoha."

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu quickly chimed in, "That's right, Hiruzen is right. Besides, Lady Mito testified for us at the time. What you're saying is completely untrue. You're slandering us and spreading rumors..."

Then, Mitokado Ero added, "Kagami died of illness, what does that have to do with us? And what's wrong with Torifu being in poor health and retiring to the second line?"

One died of illness, and the other was in poor health and needed to rest. So, what do these things have to do with us?

Danzo angrily retorted, "What the hell are you talking to him about? He dares to question something like this? I think he's disrespecting the Second Hokage. Tobirama-sensei was right. The inherently evil Uchiha clan is truly up to no good. Now they even dare to question the Second Hokage's decisions. Tell me, what else wouldn't they dare to do?"

Some things shouldn't be explored too deeply.

For example, there's the issue of the mirror. The eye is in my possession, and if it gets exposed, it'll be hard to explain. So now we need to deal with the Uchiha clan and pin the blame for the rebellion on them.

Only in this way can we get all the major ninja clans to join forces with us to fight against the Uchiha clan!

At this moment, the various ninja clans are wavering.

I thought it was going to be a normal meeting, but now...

Normal my foot, it's like a coup d'état has begun.

Sigh, Tsunade and the Uchiha clan joined forces to force the Third Hokage and other high-ranking officials to resign. Of course, the high-ranking officials, led by the Third Hokage, were unwilling to surrender easily. So this is a life-or-death struggle. But can we outsiders get involved?

What if I make the wrong choice and end up on the wrong side?

The various clans are unsure how to proceed, so they all intend to remain neutral and observe the situation. However, the Ninja 0.1 clan has remained silent, while some commoner Jonin are willing to step forward.

However, he stepped forward not for any particular reason, but for the sake of the village's peace. He did not want the deadly battle between the two sides to cause the village to be destroyed and lose a large number of elites.

A middle-aged man wearing a ninja hat, a black tight-fitting combat uniform, and a green Jonin chainmail stood up and first gestured to Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade, and Hakubaki to show his goodwill.

Then he spoke, "Hokage-sama, Tsunade-sama, Hakubaki-chou, I am Yuhi Shinku, an ordinary Jonin, and a special instructor in charge of genjutsu for Chunin and Genin. My status is naturally insignificant to you, but as a Konoha Jonin and a member of Konoha, I hope to resolve this peacefully. There is no need to escalate to this point."

Chapter 83 Betrayal? You're unhappy now that you've really betrayed me!

"What are you, a mere ordinary Jonin? And you even dare to speak up for the Uchiha's rebellion, so you're going to side with the Uchiha, is that what you mean?"

Danzo dislikes anyone speaking up for the Uchiha clan, and Kurenai Yuhi has undoubtedly broken that taboo, which greatly angers him.

Although Yuhi Shinku was just an ordinary Jonin, she was not without status. As a genjutsu instructor responsible for guiding genjutsu for Chunin and Genin, she certainly held a position and was considered one of the representatives of commoner ninjas.

After all, there are very few Jonin who come from commoner backgrounds and have decent strength, and Kurenai Yuhi is one of the best.

Hiruzen Sarutobi certainly couldn't let Danzo blindly criticize Kurenai Yuhi, as this would backfire and cause civilian ninjas to defect, which would affect our encirclement and suppression of the Uchiha clan.

Danzo, I told you long ago, you're a brainless idiot!

"Enough, Danzo! Shinku's actions were also for Konoha's sake, so shut up!" Hiruzen Sarutobi cursed Danzo inwardly, calling him a complete idiot who had no idea of ​​his good intentions.

Furthermore, if your words lead to the deaths of 18 civilian Jonin members of the Uchiha clan, can you, Danzo, bear that responsibility?

Danzo, unconvinced, confronted Hiruzen Sarutobi, angrily shouting, "Hiruzen, what's wrong with you? They don't know the evil of the Uchiha clan. Tobirama-sensei repeatedly warned us not to let the inherently evil Madara Uchiha steal the Hokage position. Now they've chosen to rebel and seize the Hokage position through a coup. Are you going to condone their evil deeds?"

Did I say it wouldn't be resolved?

Don't push those who were originally on our side to the Uchiha's side. Don't forget that while Uchiha Hakumo may not have much influence, Tsunade's influence is undeniable. Even if it's not as strong as before, she still has the great merit of defeating Kirigakure and Kumogakure, so no one can ignore her.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't without options. Even if the major ninja clans were unwilling to intervene, he had accumulated considerable support for the Will of Fire after years in power.

Especially among ordinary ninjas, there are many such supporters, so I am not worried about not having enough ninjas. Moreover, we also have ninjas from our own clans, as well as the Anbu directly commanded by the Hokage.

In terms of sheer numbers of ninjas, Hiruzen Sarutobi is second to none. Moreover, he also possesses a secret private army from the Sarutobi clan, which is undoubtedly his biggest trump card.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi could accept defeat, but he didn't want the Sarutobi clan to disappear completely, so his hesitation was reasonable. He couldn't possibly bet everything he had on it.

He really couldn't afford to gamble such a huge amount.
