Even the once-dominant Senju clan has gradually disappeared from the village.
This is no longer the old era dominated by powerful families; it's a new era where the will of the people must be respected!
"This is no longer the era of war!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's trembling gaze gradually stabilized, and his voice regained its strength.
We cannot ignore the overall situation of Konoha simply for the sake of the Uchiha clan's rise and fall!
"I ask you, who would want to go back to the era when even fresh graduates had to rush to the battlefield?"
"Tell me, who would be willing to restart the Fourth Shinobi World War!"
"If I can sacrifice myself to end the war, I can create a safe haven for future generations."
"So,"
My answer is: Yes.
The white-haired old man's voice was not loud, and even had a hint of hoarseness from the passage of time.
But these words were like an invisible scathing tool, easily piercing through everyone's doubts and seeping into everyone's soul, making everyone present feel his burden and his painstaking efforts.
"Making that decision, saying those words."
"I'm actually heartbroken too."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice began to fade, and the surrounding atmosphere became heavy.
"I will forever follow the will of the Hokage!"
Suddenly, a fervent call rang out, emanating from an undercover agent kneeling on the ground.
He was an orphan.
An orphan who lost his parents due to war, he joined the Dark Division without hesitation or reservation after demonstrating his initial strength.
"Clan Chief Huang, if you still have any grievances, you can speak them here, and I am willing to apologize."
"Lord Danzo, this is why I refused to fight. It is perfectly normal for differing opinions to arise during discussions. If you have any further questions, I am willing to continue to answer them here."
Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his aged face, his eyes filled with sincerity.
First, apologize and adopt a humble attitude, then explain the current situation in an orderly manner before shifting the blame.
Such actions and words may have resulted in the loss of support from some powerful families.
However, it should be noted that the majority of the ninjas in Konoha Village who truly constitute the majority of the population and are always at the forefront of the battle are mostly civilians.
Such an act of severing limbs for the greater good is to save more people!
And they will support the Third Hokage!
"Ah."
'Grand and imposing.'
Huang Xin, who stood with his back to him, remained unmoved. After letting out a disdainful snort, he walked away on his own.
If Shisui's death hadn't been so closely related to this white-haired old man, and if the tragedy of the night of the massacre hadn't been so inextricably linked to him, he might have been moved by it, and even respected the old man like Might Guy or Naruto Uzumaki.
However, with his God-like perspective, he knew even more.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was already used to being the one wielding a sword, could have used himself like he used Itachi Uchiha, or restrained himself like he restrained Danzo Shimura, treating him as a simple weapon and letting him personally deal with the troubles originating from Kumogakure.
But the other party did not.
That sentence, "Take your own life," was utterly devoid of any trace of heartache or helplessness.
Some felt a sense of relief, while others simply felt a sense of relief.
The kind-looking old man had begun to fear him and was eager to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Ara's lack of explanation and Shimura Danzo's silence made the whole situation delicate again.
Even the Hyuga clan chief and the Yamanaka clan chief, who had previously shown signs of anger and anxiety, have both regained their composure.
After all, ignoring the process, the result is good.
Xi, who belongs to Kumogakure, cannot be easily taken back; he will become a valuable bargaining chip for Konoha.
Ara was able to remain uninvolved, unlike the Kumogakure who turned on him in the Hinata incident.
This time, forced by the rapidly deteriorating situation, they took the lead in bowing their heads and admitting that the mistake lay with themselves, thus losing any reason to continue their unreasonable arguments.
However, not everyone showed any signs of letting their guard down.
Jiraiya's brow remained furrowed.
On the surface, such an end to the war is undoubtedly the best-case scenario.
but,
[Little Jiraiya, your fate, and the fate of Konoha, will be inextricably linked to him.]
The Great Toad Sage's prophecy echoed in his mind once again.
This incident has clearly severed the connection between Uchiha Ara, and even the Uchiha clan, and Konoha.
Thinking of this, Jiraiya suddenly reached out his hand, wanting to call out to the boy in his sight and have a proper conversation with him.
But in the end, his outstretched hand fell down without leaving a trace.
Orochimaru, who defected, and Tsunade, who left and never returned, even they had more or less grievances against Konoha and this old man. How could they possibly persuade others?
Just as the Great Toad Sage said, let nature take its course.
"and many more!"
However, while Jiraiya was able to hold his temper, some people could no longer suppress the restlessness in their hearts.
Danzo Shimura squinted and whispered, his single eye radiating a cold and dangerous aura.
The attempt to entice Uchiha Ara to join the Root organization failed.
Trying to leverage this situation to project an image of strength towards the outside world has failed!
He has already failed far too many times today.
Even so, there is one thing that must be settled.
Furthermore, he believed that Hiruzen Sarutobi was on the same side as him on this point.
Before you leave, don't you have anything else you want to say or explain?
"Uchiha Ara".
Just as Huang stepped out of the door intending to leave, he was met with a persistent questioning from behind.
Upon hearing this, the young man stopped and turned to the side, his cold gaze already falling on the speaker.
"Ok?"
He responded with a cold snort.
But then, as if remembering something, he quipped:
"Oh, is it about you inviting me downstairs to join Root, and then helping me fake my own suicide to avoid Cloud Village's demands?"
"I refused, so what business do you have with me now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes fell on the old man wrapped in bandages.
"Danzo? You!"
Koharu, the girl in the tsuya, was utterly shocked and even cried out in surprise. The same was true for Ero, the girl next to her.
They knew nothing about this operation.
"Lord Danzo, you have a brilliant plan and a clever scheme."
Yamanaka Inoichi's voice was filled with dissatisfaction.
That day, that night.
He hasn't forgotten Shan Zhongfeng's attitude at all!
He truly never imagined that his people would undergo such a dramatic transformation after entering the Roots.
[He gave up his name, his family, his future—all for the sake of loyalty to Shimura Danzo!]
This is the root!
However, Danzo ignored such questions, since he had long since accepted the label that existed on him.
Darkness, evil—all the negative words applied to him did not cause him to even flinch.
"Are you really not going to give a proper explanation about the Eight-Tails' rampage in Kumogakure?!"
What secrets are hidden in your eyes?
Danzo Shimura laid his cards on the table.
They even used sensitive adjectives like "the chaos of the eight tails."
Logically speaking, ordinary Sharingan cannot control tailed beasts, but Mangekyou Sharingan can!
Moreover, after Kotoamatsukami proved ineffective, he began to reflect on himself and began to wonder if Uchiha Ara had also acquired the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Even if he doesn't belong to the Uchiha clan, some possibilities can be guessed, such as only the Mangekyou Sharingan can counter the Mangekyou Sharingan, and Kotoamatsukami being useless against the Mangekyou Sharingan.
However, this kid's eyes are a bit special, so they don't show any signs of a kaleidoscope!
And such words are very effective.
Everyone, including Hiruzen Sarutobi, turned their attention to Ara Uchiha.
Because the methods used in the Cloud Village incident are far too similar to those used in the Nine-Tails' rampage!
"Oh, Lord Danzo, do you want to know the secret of my eyes?"
"can."
Faced with the hesitant and questioning gazes of the crowd, Huang casually accepted the answer, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"In exchange, take off the bandages on your body and let me see what kind of power you were using to bewitch me!"
"A power that even the Sharingan couldn't completely resist!"
