I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

"You, you, you're making false accusations!"

Sarutobi Shinga's voice trembled.

He still doesn't believe it, he still questions it.

but.

"That's enough, don't say any more."

"Letting Orochimaru go and causing a series of subsequent disasters is a sin I committed in the past."

"I will neither evade nor deny this."

Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted his clansmen's explanations, and his scattered gaze focused on Ara, meeting his crimson eyes.

"After the Chunin Exams are over, I will resign from my position as Hokage as an apology."

He spoke solemnly, emphasizing each word.

Chapter 500 The Right to Forgiveness, Kakashi's Shattered Beliefs

The hidden past was exposed in public.

The tragic and unjust deaths of Konoha ninjas, the indifferent Third Hokage, and Orochimaru who calmly left and caused countless tragedies in the future.

This should have been a secret that caused a huge uproar, but it doesn't seem to have achieved the desired effect in such a context.

Of course, upon hearing this news and receiving confirmation from the person involved, most of the Konoha ninja present were filled with anger.

And it was an uncontrollable rage!

After all, it wasn't just limited to the day Orochimaru escaped. Before and after that, a large portion of the ninjas who sacrificed themselves in the human experiments he conducted to satisfy his personal desires, and in the efforts of Konoha to bring him to justice, were their comrades, compatriots, and even relatives!

However, when they saw the Third Hokage's suddenly dejected spirit, and saw his pale hair revealed when he took off the hat that symbolized the Hokage out of self-reproach.

Among the Konoha ninja present, he couldn't bear to criticize or question them.

Ultimately, that incident happened a very long time ago, and everyone has long since buried the pain of that time deep in their hearts.

Moreover, the person who must have been most heartbroken at that time was probably the Third Hokage, since both Orochimaru and the other Konoha ninjas were equally dear to him.

"Third Hokage, please don't blame yourself too much."

"After all, Orochimaru was your proudest and most satisfied disciple, and he has long since transcended the scope of a disciple."

"He himself made great contributions to Konoha and the entire Land of Fire during the Second Shinobi World War. He was even bestowed the title of Konoha's Legendary Sannin by the demigod Hanzo of the Salamander, which further enhanced Konoha's reputation."

Such achievements cannot be easily erased.

"Tell me, who could bear to kill such an outstanding disciple?"

Some Konoha ninjas were the first to step out of this shocking past and voice their opinions.

Although the text does not directly address whether letting Orochimaru escape was a mistake or a right thing to do.

However, his intention to protect it was evident in his words.

"Yes, everyone here is a pillar of the village."

"They have all led teams to some extent, or had students or juniors who were with them day and night."

"If they suddenly commit heinous crimes, can you guarantee that they will be executed immediately?"

Following such a passionate question, echoes of agreement immediately arose.

Furthermore, no clan insignia could be found on their ninja attire, clearly indicating that they were ninjas from an ordinary commoner lineage.

For these people, the third generation ultimately holds a glorious significance that is difficult to eradicate and difficult to erase.

Even if mistakes are made, as long as they are not truly heinous or things that would be condemned, they can mostly be forgiven.

Subsequently, such voices and excuses rose and fell like waves.

This past incident seems to further confirm the Third Hokage's reputation for being gentle and kind-hearted.

Orochimaru's crimes seem to be offset by his merits and demerits at the same time.

After all, being listed as an S-rank fugitive rogue ninja by Konoha and subsequently executed by the forces of the entire ninja world was the price he had to pay.

It was at this moment that Huang finally understood something.

This land is no longer the place where the so-called "leaf dances in the air, and fire burns eternally" once existed.

Instead, it is a completely corrupted Konoha that embodies the strongest Hokage in history, Hiruzen Sarutobi!

Amid such a wave,

He watched as the Third Hokage wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, his lips trembling as if he were saying something to the followers behind him;

Sarutobi Shinga cast a hateful and provocative glance at him, as if he wanted to devour him alive!

but,

However, he felt no anger or rage.

Because, indeed, there is nothing wrong with it.

Just like how the Uchiha clan no longer mentions its former clan head, Fugaku Uchiha, and has completely implemented its own will.

It would be strange if Konoha, which had been dominated and managed by Hiruzen Sarutobi for most of his life, didn't hear any voices of support when the Third Hokage was in trouble.

Furthermore, everything related to Konoha became irrelevant at this moment.

Just wait quietly for that grand day to arrive.

Thinking of this, Huang parted his lips slightly, intending to drive away these noisy fellows from different paths.

But at that moment, Uchiha Rinka, standing behind Yu Zhi, suddenly spoke up:

"When your comrades are wantonly killed by a traitor, you, as the Hokage, not only watch helplessly but also allow the traitor to leave unscathed."

"Such behavior can actually be forgiven, pardoned, and justified."

"Ah."

"Is it because too much time has passed that you, the older generation who are used to peace and tranquility, have forgotten what courage is, or is it simply because the bystander is the third generation that you have no way to blame him?"

"Can you really still be considered ninjas?"

His voice and gaze were filled with deep contempt and disdain.

Because this attitude of indifference and disregard for the death of one's companions is all too clear!

Do not,

It wasn't just him, but also his companions and the entire clan.

This attitude is exactly the same as that night of blood and fire.

That night, countless clansmen called out the name of their clan leader, their cries of help filled with fear, their helplessness with terror, and their final curses of resentment.

However, that person never appeared!

He allowed his eldest son to commit indiscriminate killings and rampages in the clan's territory.

Such memories are so deeply ingrained, they are etched into his very soul, an indelible hatred!

Even afterward, Konoha responded, stating that Fugaku and his wife also died at the hands of that traitor Itachi.

But he didn't believe it.

No one in the clan believed it!

Because it was Konoha that gave the conclusion, and the Third Hokage used the lame excuse that the deceased was already dead to forbid them from performing an autopsy, and even more so to forbid them from using their Sharingan to personally examine the eyes of the sinner's parents.

That is enough to explain the problem.

It was that bastard clan leader who chose his own offspring when his people needed him most!

How is this behavior any different from the dark history exposed by the Third Hokage?

"Or do you all think that other people's lives don't matter?"

Uchiha Rinho's voice was unusually suppressed, and he didn't care at all about the identity of the Konoha ninjas in his field of vision.

He only knew that such behavior disgusted him.

Extremely disgusting!

I have so much emotion I have to express!!

Being struck by such blunt words made the expressions on the faces of these Konoha ninjas somewhat unpleasant, after all, they were the seniors of these youngsters.

"This matter involves a lot of complex issues, and the reasons behind it are not something you little guys can just casually discuss."

"When you grow up and have your own students, you will understand."

A Konoha ninja lowered his voice, trying to deflect such accusations.

But the response was a cold, indifferent question:

"is it?"

"Will you understand when you grow up?"

"Isn't a ninja's duty to obey orders?"

"Wasn't that order from decades ago to capture Orochimaru, who has committed countless crimes?"

"Sandaime."

It's Kakashi Hatake.

At this moment, he looked at the white-haired old man in his field of vision with extreme restraint and indifference.

This feeling is like looking at a stranger.

tonight,

He could understand why the Third Hokage led his people to invade the Uchiha clan's territory in order to demand an explanation for letting Orochimaru go.

He could understand why the Konoha ninja around him showed their support for the Third Hokage when he was questioned.

Even the fact that the Third Hokage personally released Orochi in the past is something he can understand.

but,
