I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke up at the opportune moment.

Compared to Orochimaru's infiltration and the unknown harm he caused, such excessive words and actions are insignificant.

But at this moment, it is possible to temporarily shift attention and criticism away from oneself.

"Sasuke."

"Orochimaru, who was let in because of the ANBU's poor surveillance, is using Sasuke to threaten me."

"Although I don't acknowledge that guy's Uchiha clan affiliation."

"But after he awakened the Sharingan, he could only die at the hands of someone else after I took back his eyes."

Ignoring such preaching, Ara directly fabricated a reason to respond to Sarutobi Shinga's question.

"Just for a pair of eyes, you actually abandoned that dangerous individual and fled the village?"

"Don't you have any sense of the bigger picture at all?!"

"Do you know how much damage your actions will cause to Konoha?"

"And you believe everything that guy says?"

Are you a three-year-old?!

Upon hearing this answer, the Jonin of the Sarutobi clan could no longer contain his emotions and roared out.

It's unclear whether they were genuinely indignant about the bigger picture or attempting to place all the blame on the former.

Even if what Orochimaru said is true.

"Then, as ninjas of Konoha, we should be prepared to dedicate everything to Konoha!"

Sarutobi Shinga continued to follow, completely unaware of Kakashi Hatake's increasingly strange expression.

Indeed, there is no point in refuting what the other party said in terms of principle.

However, this should not have come from the mouth of such a senior, nor from this peaceful environment.

The so-called younger generation is the future that they, as teachers, team leaders, and seniors, are supposed to protect. It is far from their turn to sacrifice themselves to ensure the comfort of the older generation.

But has Orochimaru set his sights on Sasuke Uchiha?

He began to feel uneasy.

Hiruzen Sarutobi also remained silent, as keeping quiet was the best option at this moment.

"is it?"

"Do you think so too, Third Generation?"

"If it is Konohamaru who is being used as a threat by Orochimaru."

Would you also choose to sacrifice it?

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to deliberately avoid the topic, but Ara wouldn't allow it.

He went straight to the point.

The most important reason for mentioning Sarutobi Konohamaru was also to warn the other party.

After all, today, this old man was planning to use Izumi and Kurama Yakumo to threaten him!

"Stop trying to confuse the public and defend your crimes, Uchiha Arashi!"

"What we're talking about now is the matter of letting Orochimaru escape."

"And the potential consequences!"

Sarutobi Shinga's face twisted in disbelief. This inherently evil bastard dared to repeatedly show disrespect to their clan leader and the village's leader!

If he could, he really wanted to throw him into the torture chamber.

Little did they know, this was exactly what Huang was waiting for.

"They have said several times that I let Orochimaru escape, and that my actions will bring unpredictable trouble to Konoha."

"Then, that's what I wanted to ask you."

"Do you truly know the past, and the real source of evil in this matter?"

Ara's gaze swept past Sarutobi Shinga, who was somewhat stunned, and landed on the white-haired old man who was gradually stabilizing his posture and expression.

“I saw it all with my own eyes just now.”

"Everything from the past."

The boy raised his right hand and pointed to his right eye in the air, a sardonic sarcasm playing on his lips.

Chapter 499 I will resign from the position of Hokage as an apology.

The root cause of cholera

Everything from the past.

Gazing at Uchiha Ara's confident and wicked expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt uneasy.

Connecting the two people's words, he immediately thought of something that happened a long, long time ago and had long been buried in his heart.

If it weren't for Sarutobi Shinga's question, "Why did you let Orochimaru escape?", he might have kept this secret sealed in his heart for the rest of his life, never to see the light of day again.

The process and outcome of that matter were already predetermined and could not be changed.

The only people who knew the truth were himself, Orochimaru, and Enma.

As for the other witnesses, they all died that day.

but!

But importantly, back then, there was no such person as Ara, and even Kakashi Hatake was just a teenager.

So how could this kid possibly know about what happened that day?

He must be trying to provoke me, hoping I'll reveal a weakness.

Hiruzen Sarutobi forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and the panicked look on his face gradually calmed down under the influence of this inner strength.

Yes,

The Sharingan does indeed have the ability to see into people's hearts and read through other people's memories.

However, how could a normal person willingly hand over their memories and past?

You should know that once you do this, it means you will have no secrets left!

All the entanglements, all the flaws, and all the things that are cherished will be known to others.

For a ninja in particular, such exposure is fatal, and it can cause irreversible damage to their comrades, their family, and the forces behind them.

Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not believe that a cunning and treacherous person like Orochimaru would reveal all his secrets to the other party.

Furthermore, judging from the situation presented so far, the two sides are in a stalemate.

That unworthy disciple did not come alone, and he did not show any signs of being completely suppressed, captured, or having his memories forcibly searched.

The double proof helped Hiruzen Sarutobi regain his composure.

The temporary silence was to prevent himself from making a slip of the tongue under the Sharingan's entrapment.

"What are you trying to do now, spread rumors and mislead the public!"

"Is this the style of the Uchiha clan—constantly trying to shirk responsibility?"

Sarutobi Shinga clearly couldn't understand what the evil Uchiha Ara was saying.

However, the other party's confident and assertive attitude somewhat caused his resolve to waver.

Similarly, he is not some complete idiot who doesn't know how to read between the lines or sense the atmosphere.

The fact that his own Hokage didn't offer any explanation naturally stirred a strange and subtle feeling within him.

However, rather than the fact that the opponent was from the evil Uchiha clan, whom he himself harbored an inescapable loathing for, Sarutobi Shinga naturally believed in the Third Hokage unconditionally, believing that he simply did not want to lower himself to argue with such a shameless junior.

And the most important conclusion is that their clan leader, their Hokage, is glorious and wholeheartedly devoted to Konoha!

It is the faith of the Sarutobi clan.

It is the faith of the entire Hidden Leaf Village!

They're not some infamous Uchiha clan that can be compared to them!

"So, you're unwilling to take the initiative to explain or reveal what happened in the past?"

"Your Excellency, Third Generation."

Ignoring Sarutobi Shinga's rebuke, Ara stared intently at the white-haired old man and continued to press him with words, showing no sign of backing down.

Because of his past leniency, which left behind trouble, he now wants to shift all the blame onto him and the Uchiha clan behind him.

how can that be!

You must understand, he's not like Shimura Danzo, who would willingly become a shadowy figure beneath Konoha!

Such persistent questioning caused a dark cloud to rise again in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, which had just regained their composure, and even made his firm will begin to waver.

Did this guy really see that scene?

But it’s impossible!

Even if we take a step back and assume that Ara truly overpowered Orochimaru in terms of strength and was able to glimpse a corner of his memories.

It could even be said that Orochimaru voluntarily exposed his own memories and past to the former!

However, objectively speaking, this still does not hold true.

The most important argument is that there isn't enough time.

That event, buried in the river of time, happened decades ago. The recollection of memories can only proceed slowly from the end to the beginning, or by inserting a relatively recent point in time and then continuing to search forward and backward. It is impossible to directly trace back to such a distant past.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for him to have paid attention to that matter in such a short period of time!

Furthermore, rummaging through the vast sea of ​​memories in Orochimaru's mind must require immense mental effort.

Yu Zhi did not show any signs of excessive mental energy depletion on his face.

Therefore, in conclusion, it was all just him bluffing!
