I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

No, even disregarding all other factors, this applies to most residents and ninjas of Konoha as well.

"What do you want from me?"

Huang, who pushed open the door, showed no manners whatsoever. He went straight to the point and asked questions, his voice devoid of any respect or emotion.

At the same time, his face furrowed slightly.

For him, who doesn't smoke, the room full of white smoke was somewhat repulsive.

"Oh, sorry."

"I've been smoking tobacco for half my life, and some habits are hard to break."

Upon hearing the question, the third-generation leader looked up from the case file.

He didn't scold the visitor for being impolite or lacking manners. Instead, noticing the boy's slightly furrowed brow, he immediately explained apologetically, extinguishing the wisps of smoke rising from his pipe.

Huang did not answer, still looking at the old man in his field of vision with a cold and distant expression, and was not moved in the slightest by the other party's words and actions.

If he could, he really wanted to end the life of the mastermind behind the scenes who caused Shisui to die unwillingly and led his entire family to fall into such a state.

But he can't.

He himself could bear the guilt of disrespect, disrespect, or even assassinating his own Hokage, but he was unwilling to let his family bear such guilt as well.

Therefore, he will choose the best time.

The time to restore the truth from five years ago.

Then they can settle their scores.

During this brief moment of silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally saw through the visitor's thoughts and recognized the irreparable chasm between the two of them.

After letting out a soft sigh, he then stated the purpose of summoning the other party:

"Some of the forces that cooperate with us in the surrounding area want to see you during the Chunin Exams."

"I remember that you, Clan Chief Ara, haven't participated in the Chunin promotion exam yet, have you?"

"So I want you to participate in this assessment and win the final competition."

The old man recounted the events in detail, without embellishment.

This may also be the first time he has assigned a task to a boy in his field of vision without any ulterior motives.

"what?"

Upon hearing this mission, a blatant hint of contempt suddenly appeared on Arana's usually calm and icy face.

"Is the Third Hokage truly old?"

"Or do you want me to eliminate all the participants in the second round of the exam, thus securing victory in the Chunin Exams ahead of time?"

"What a boring mission."

"Find someone else."

As he spoke, Huang turned to leave.

Ultimately, Yu Zhi still carries the blood of the Uchiha clan and possesses his own pride.

Participating in such a trial is as boring as putting a lion into a sheep pen.

While it must be admitted that there are indeed some rams among them with great potential to grow horns, they are still just a bunch of lambs.

"of course not."

"I want you to compete normally and win the championship in the third individual competition."

"This is very important for the future development of Konoha."

Hearing such a bloody description, Hiruzen Sarutobi showed no anger, but instead patiently spoke to the boy who was about to turn away.

"Not interested in."

Huang continued walking towards the door.

Seeing this, the white-haired Third Hokage had no other choice. The Uchiha clan's stubbornness was as deep-rooted as their pride; once they made up their minds, it was almost impossible to persuade them to change.

So, before the man left, he changed the subject.

"I want to have a serious talk with you."

"I do not want to see the Uchiha clan and Konoha clash again."

"This is not good for either side."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice was filled with sincerity.

"Konoha?"

Upon hearing this, Ara, who had already stepped out of the Hokage's office, suddenly stopped and picked out a very meaningful word.

"No, this is a problem between me, my people, and your lineage."

He continued, his voice filled with coldness and menace.

Chapter 468 Declaration of War, and Can Children Be Innocent?

Looking into the boy's cold eyes, she sensed the irreconcilable conflict between them.

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a sudden dizziness, and a strange, bitter feeling surged up from the depths of his heart.

Regarding Uchiha Ara and his clan, perhaps his past self could have found a better way to handle the situation and find a better balance.

But he did not choose to do so. Instead, he acted on his political instincts, treating him and his clan as tools to be used and then discarded, tools to prevent future troubles!

This has led to the current irreparable situation.

After all, in the very very beginning,

The message read through the Yamanaka clan's 'mind-reading' technique is: Uchiha Ara has always deeply loved the village and also felt uncomfortable with the radical actions of some other clan members.

That intelligence is absolutely correct.

After all, Uchiha Ara, who was in a deep coma, was simply unable to actively interfere with the invading intentions of the several mountain clan elites.

Moreover, even now, the other party's general will may not have changed.

Because what he mentioned was still the grudges between his own lineage, rather than involving the entire Leaf Village.

[As expected of a junior member of the Uchiha clan.]

[His likes and dislikes are clearly defined, and the boundaries he has drawn remain as clear as ever.]

Looking at the boy's young yet resolute face, a sense of peace, completely different from before, welled up in the Third Hokage's heart.

He believed in the Uchiha clan's adherence to their promises, which preserved most of Konoha's strength and ensured that they would have reserves even if they needed to deal with future disasters.

Danzo had already left, and Koharu and Monjo were also sent away by him.

Then he will have to bear all the sins he committed.

"I understand."

"The Wilderness Clan Chief is indeed different from his predecessors."

Having calmed his mind, Hiruzen Sarutobi softly praised, "This approach, this restrained nature, is indeed different from our ancestors who were determined to rebel."

"But those children are innocent."

"They knew nothing and did nothing."

"If Chief Huang is still dissatisfied or angry about some things in the past, then please take out all your emotions on me."

"I am willing to apologize and take full responsibility."

Then the third generation continued to supplement his plans according to his own mind. Coupled with his aged appearance, he easily gave people a pitiful look of old age, making it impossible for people to be cruel and force or blame him.

However, he did not mention any specific matters, merely using vague words like dissatisfaction and anger to summarize what had happened.

Just as he suspected, how much Uchiha Ara actually knew about the truth of the events five years ago remained an open question.

And there is a high probability that they know nothing about it!

After all, all the Root members who participated in that operation had been silenced, and the true mastermind behind the operation, Danzo Shimura, had left the village long ago. In addition, there were two old friends whom he had previously alienated, as well as Itachi Uchiha, who was known as a rogue ninja and whose whereabouts were uncertain.

He is now the only one in the entire village who knows the secrets of the past.

Of course, he would never choose to expose it himself and deliberately make the situation worse.

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a little calmer.

The peace of Konoha that can be achieved by sacrificing oneself is probably achievable.

but,

This apology, neither too harsh nor too mild, even placing himself in a position of being wronged, only intensified the anger in Huang's eyes, and a dark, windmill-like shape was directly imprinted on his scarlet pupils.

"Oh?"

"So, children can be innocent too?"

He stared coldly at the old man in his field of vision, and words of indifference slipped out of his mouth.

If children can be considered innocent, then what about the souls of those who perished within their clan?

You should know that the path that Uncle Yashiro and the others risked their lives to create that night could not protect all the children and families in the clan!

That bastard with white eyes received orders to leave no one alive except for Uchiha Sasuke!

These, these

How should I put it?

How should the matter be settled?

The mere thought of such hypocritical remarks fueled Huang's uncontrollable rage.

Long, long ago, he had peered into Uchiha Naki's memories.

Of course, it only concerns memories of five years ago, of the night of the genocide.

He wanted to remember the pain of that night forever, to remember the despair and helplessness of his people.

Those images, those memories, while spurring him to become stronger, also made him vow in his heart to make all those who inflicted them feel the same way!
