I might be a fake Ultraman.

Minato Namikaze looked at Kakashi Hatake in shock.

"Kakashi, are you crying?"

Kakashi Hatake then realized what was happening. He touched his cheek and found that he had been crying without even noticing.

The Leaf Village that her father loved so deeply, and the Will of Fire he embodied, were seen by the higher-ups as nothing more than a laughable act of perseverance?

He himself was merely used as a tool.

Kakashi Hatake's Sharingan spun wildly, as if he were about to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Kushina Uzumaki and Rin Nohara also ran out from the group and came to Kakashi Hatake's side, looking at him with concern.

Danzo Shimura did not stop; he continued to output damage.

"Hiruzen, you are still weak."

"Because of your weakness, you dare not let others be stronger than you, and you don't even allow my roots to grow strong."

"Because of your weakness, you have been enriching yourself, expanding your clan, and training your own ninjas outside of Konoha."

"Because of your weakness, you allowed the Senju lineage, which could threaten your position, to persecute you, and even allowed me to murder Senju Nawaki, the successor of the Senju clan."

"They also exposed the location of Tsunade's lover, Kato Dan, to the enemy, causing his death in order to force Tsunade to leave and completely undermine the cohesion of the Senju clan."

"As for the Uzumaki clan, who had an alliance with Konoha, we watched them perish without doing anything."

"Because the Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan have been on good terms for generations, the Uzumaki clan may become an aid to the Senju clan in regaining the Hokage's authority."

"Both the teacher and Lady Mito are foolish and blind, thinking that the Will of Fire alone can make their successors follow their ideas, but they have ignored the temptation of power."

"The Will of Fire, it really is the most laughable thing!"

"But they are indeed very useful as tools for us to enslave ordinary ninjas..."

"Shut up, you're spouting nonsense!" Hiruzen Sarutobi was truly exasperated.

He hinted at some things, but hesitated and did not make a decision.

In the end, it was all done by other high-ranking officials and Danzo Shimura.

The persecution of Senju Nawaki and Kato Dan, and the annihilation of the Uzumaki clan, had nothing to do with him.

Moreover, the disintegration of the Senju clan was due to many factors.

It wasn't just because the First Hokage dispersed the Senju clan to Konoha, but also because the Second Hokage began experimenting with Wood Release techniques, that the number of Senju ninjas decreased dramatically.

Most importantly, although they did conduct Wood Release experiments, the volunteers were all chosen with their own consent.

Moreover, he stopped the experiment after it failed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to explain, but he also had to deal with Shinnosuke Sarutobi's attack.

The main problem is that Hiruzen Sarutobi's explanation is completely useless.

Shimura Danzo sneered, "These things were the result of discussions between the four of us, and then I personally carried them out. How could they be fake?"

Danzo Shimura was already a piece of shit, and now whoever he sticks to becomes unclean.

Even if evidence is presented, it will be suspected of being forged.

When Kushina Uzumaki heard that the destruction of the Uzumaki clan was related to Hiruzen Sarutobi, she immediately believed it and was about to explode.

Recalling the destruction of the Uzumaki clan, recalling his own experiences over the years, recalling Kakashi's tragic fate...

"Kushina, calm down!" Minato Namikaze hurriedly abandoned Kakashi Hatake and hugged Kushina Uzumaki, using love to temporarily soothe her.

Kakashi Hatake silently stood up on his own.

Fortunately, Rin Nohara quickly took Kakashi Hatake's hand, offering him warmth.

"Danzo, what exactly are you trying to do? Why are you stirring up trouble here?" Mitokado Homura shouted.

"Why should I explain my actions to you?" Shimura Danzo said, crossing his arms and completely disregarding the others.

He acted as if he were holding a mop covered in excrement, as if Lu Bu had been reincarnated and become the greatest in the world.

"Don't even mention the Hyuga clan. After I've dealt with you all, I will ascend to the position of Hokage with absolute power. None of you can resist me!"

"I am the strongest Hokage!"

Yu Nu Zhiwei knew it was time for her to speak.

"Could it be that something has happened to the Hyuga clan?"

"Not only the Hyuga clan, but also those ninjas and clans that allied with the Hyuga clan have not appeared."

"Could it be that everything behind this is the result of infighting at the highest levels?"

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Shut up, Madam Yu! Do you know what you're saying?" Tsurugi Koharu shouted.

Aburame Shiki said, "I just don't want me and the ninjas in my clan to become victims of the power struggles within the upper echelons."

"He did not die on the battlefield, but was killed by the ambition of others. He was not even qualified to be buried in the Heroes' Cemetery."

"Both laughable and pathetic."

Aburame Shiki's words were recognized by many ninjas.

Even the ninjas from the Sarutobi, Utatane, and Mitomon clans looked at the three of them with strange eyes, but due to their clan's circumstances, they could only remain standing there.

Other ninjas and commoner ninjas have all distanced themselves from the ninjas of the three clans.

The reason why Shiki Aburame's words are so effective is naturally because those familiar with the Aburame clan of ninjas know this.

Although the Aburame clan may not have a high profile, they are the most trustworthy. They may not talk much, but they never lie and are best at seeing through the essence of a problem.

If the Nara clan is considered to be intelligent...

So, the Aburame clan are generally considered to be honest people.

If honest people say you have a problem, then you probably really aren't clean.

But at this point, some people had a different opinion.

Fugaku Uchiha led his clansmen in an attack on Danzo Shimura.

"You dare to enslave our Uchiha clan? You mere Shimura Danzo, how dare you?"

"Let me show you the might of the Uchiha clan!"

"Under our watchful eyes, all your ambitions have no chance of success!"

It must be said that the Uchiha clan's actions were quite abrupt, and this had nothing to do with them.

But considering the Uchiha clan's arrogant nature, their political acumen, and their desire for the Hokage position...

It seems like there's nothing wrong with them doing this.

If you bring the Uchiha clan along, you're likely to suffer a lot.

If you don't include the Uchiha clan in your group, you might still suffer the same fate.

Danzo Shimura sneered at the approaching Uchiha clan.

"Let me show you the results achieved through the efforts of countless fellow village ninjas and Senju clan ninjas!"

Danzo Shimura clasped his hands together.

"Wooden Release: The birth of the tree world!"

Large swathes of trees burst forth from the ground, instantly covering the Uchiha clan ninjas.

The ninjas who witnessed this scene stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

The account given by Danzo Shimura seems even more credible.

The results are all here, so why do you still say you didn't persecute the Senju clan?
The Nine-Tails, who had just been urging Kushina to come out, suddenly fell silent, because it sensed that this Wood Release technique was in no way inferior to Hashirama Senju's. (End of Chapter)
