I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

Hearing his explanation, a smile flashed across Bai Ye's lips. If he didn't explain, Bai Ye would find it rather boring.

"Third Hokage, don't you find this ridiculous? Everyone knows what Naruto's life is like. You say there's no abuse? Do you mean you send Naruto money every now and then? Does he have enough money to buy anything? It's all expired milk and instant noodles. Look at Naruto's height, he's the shortest in the whole village, and this is the Uzumaki clan!"

"Also, how did you force White Fang to his death? Why were Senju Nawaki's internal organs emptied after he died? Don't tell me Tsunade agreed to you doing this. And why did Konoha remain indifferent when the Uzumaki clan, who were allies of Konoha, were wiped out?"

"Furthermore, Danzo has done so much, why did you still allow him to continue serving as Hokage's assistant? You even let Orochimaru go back then, didn't you? Why are you so hypocritical in how you treat them and us? Don't you have any idea why the Sannin all left?"

"And your Uchiha clan extermination plan, wasn't it all about finding that traitor Itachi Uchiha to be your inside man? Today's betrayal was also something I deliberately leaked to him. Just as I guessed, he would tell you the information. Initially, you wanted to use Itachi to wipe out the Uchiha clan, and then have Itachi defect so that you wouldn't have to bear any infamy and could still destroy the Uchiha, right?"

"And then there are your four families. The Sarutobi and Shimura families were originally considered medium-sized families, while the Mitomon and Utatane families weren't even small families. But look at your four families now, they've become so wealthy. You must have abused your power for personal gain over the years, haven't you? Didn't you swallow up our Uchiha clan's territory back then?"

"And your good-for-nothing son, Hiruzen Sarutobi, wasn't he a rogue ninja for leaving the village without saying goodbye? He was utterly despicable!"

Byakuya listed all of Hiruzen Sarutobi's sins one by one.

He knew very well just how many disgusting things these people had done by abusing their power.

As Bai Ye listed these points one by one, many people felt a chill run down their spines.

“My father did indeed die from rumors. At the time, that teammate abandoned the mission. I remember that teammate didn’t say anything at the time, but later he suddenly spread rumors that the mission failed because of my father. It was all my father’s fault.”

Kakashi lowered his head and murmured something. He had actually contacted that person before.

But they didn't get any information out of him, and not long after, that person died during the mission.

He didn't understand why his teammate, who was initially grateful to his father, suddenly turned against him after a while.

Looking back now, perhaps it's true what Byakuya said: Danzo orchestrated his father's death, and Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't stop him. And all these years, he's been working for his father's killer.

For a moment, Kakashi couldn't help but feel a little complicated.

Regarding the issue of the rope tree, there does seem to be such a saying.

Shikaku said in a low voice, "I've actually heard about this before."

Moreover, at that time everyone was quite puzzled. All the internal organs of a corpse had been removed. What was the purpose of this?

"We Hyuga have never forgotten about Hizashi. In fact, we always demanded war, but the Third Hokage kept avoiding the topic, saying that Konoha's strength was insufficient. But at that time, it wasn't just us; the Uchiha were also willing to fight. No one wanted to compromise. When we were at a stalemate, Hizashi chose to commit suicide and surrender himself. To be honest, I never understood it. We were being overwhelmed by the enemy, so why did we have to tolerate it? Konoha didn't have much strength, but didn't Kumogakure suffer heavy losses in the Third Shinobi World War?"

At that time, many people were actually inclined to go to war. Although the Uchiha and Hyuga did not get along, neither of them were cowards.

When someone is taking advantage of you and defecating on you, who would be willing to put up with it?

To avoid putting Hiashi in a difficult position, Hiashi also chose to commit suicide.

"Regarding Orochimaru, I did indeed watch him leave right before my eyes."

"Asuma, I remember he had a conflict with the Hokage and left in a fit of anger, right? But people who leave the village without a word, violating the rules, are usually labeled as rogue ninja."

Even Tsunade and Jiraiya said they wanted to leave before they did, even if Hiruzen Sarutobi disagreed, they had still said they wanted to leave.

But Asuma was much more capable than them. He ran away overnight. If it were any other ninja village, or if his father wasn't the Hokage, he would have been a rogue ninja long ago. How could he still be the Guardian Twelve at this time?

"We could have gone to rescue the Vortex Clan back then. Their distress call came a long time ago, and they've been holding on. If we had gone, although they would still have suffered heavy losses, we could have saved quite a few!"

"Indeed, these clans are doing much better than ours now. We fought tooth and nail on the battlefield, while they only needed to handle logistics and rarely sent out their elite troops. Although we don't get along with the Uchiha, the Uchiha did send out a lot of elite ninjas on the battlefield!"

"I think it's better to let the children go. Many of our people died in the war when they were only about ten years old. Too many children died during that period, and they were not suited to go to the battlefield at that time!"

"They actually let their own clan wipe out the entire clan? That's too ruthless!"

As these events were confirmed one by one, everyone discovered something truly astonishing: Bai Ye hadn't fabricated the story.

Moreover, these are things that are simply beyond human capability to do.

Although they all disliked the Uchiha clan, none of them ever considered wiping out the Uchiha clan!

"Heh, it's all because of you inherently evil Uchiha! If it weren't for you Uchiha, Konoha wouldn't be like this. It was Madara Uchiha who came back and killed the First Hokage; otherwise, Konoha wouldn't be where it is now!"

Danzo said sternly, "If it weren't for the Uchiha clan, how could this have happened?"

After saying this, a glimmer of hope flashed through Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart.

He couldn't find any reason to refute what she just said.

But he was unwilling to give up just like that.

Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi has many problems, does that mean the Uchiha clan is completely without fault?

"Speaking of this, we really need to think about what your teacher, the Second Hokage, did. If I remember correctly, the First Hokage was Hashirama Senju. Originally, Hashirama Senju intended to give the Hokage position to Madara Uchiha."

However, most people in the village thought Hashirama was better, and Madara thought so too. As a result, Hashirama became the First Hokage. Hashirama had told Madara that he would make him the Second Hokage.

During the second generation, Tobirama Senju suddenly said that the village's Kage should be chosen by everyone, not designated, and as a result, Madara was not chosen.

The results of it? "

At this point, Bai Ye suddenly burst into wild laughter, then suppressed his aura and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, saying, "Were you chosen by everyone or by Tobirama Senju? He's just as hypocritical as you. When Madara wanted to become Hokage, he chose to vote, but when you wanted to become Hokage, he chose to appoint you. You learned your double standards from him, didn't you?"

The Second Hokage was actually quite hypocritical. He didn't want Madara to become Hokage, so he held a vote and then directly appointed Hiruzen Sarutobi as Hokage.

"That's right! Wasn't it us who helped you become Hokage back then, Hiruzen Sarutobi?"

"Indeed, if it weren't for us back then, you would never have been recognized by Konoha!"

When Bai Ye said this, the others also agreed.

If it weren't for them, Hiruzen Sarutobi would never have been able to rise to power. Looking back now, Madara's actions back then seem understandable.

What kind of business is this, where none of the promises made have been kept?!

"Everyone, today is the day for the Uchiha clan to settle scores with these four. Hiruzen Sarutobi, come on! Don't even think about living. Let me give you a dignified death!"

P.S.: Should we implement a bonus chapter rule?

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 75 Danzo, Hiruzen Sarutobi is killed!

Bai Ye said all this simply to claim a moral high ground.

Even though many families actually know some of the inside story, today's goal is not only to completely ruin the reputations of Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, but also to kill these four people completely.

"I will step down after this incident with Byakuya. I don't want to see Konoha in turmoil, nor do I want to personally kill anyone in Konoha!"

After hearing Byakuya's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked much older after saying those words.

He himself knew that after this incident, he could no longer remain in the position of Hokage.

"You're wrong for three generations. It's not you who killed me, but me who killed all of you. And you don't actually think this farce will end with your abdication, do you?"

"And Hokage always dies in battle. The First Hokage did, the Second Hokage did, the Fourth Hokage did, and what about you, Third Hokage? You've done so many wrong things, and you're just going to cowardly wait to die with a single sentence? Don't make me look down on you, Third Hokage!"

Byakuya spoke calmly, a statement that clearly put Hiruzen Sarutobi in a very difficult position.

Just as Byakuya said, all the Kage died in battle, as did most of the Kage from other ninja villages. If he chose to live on, he knew that his reputation would be completely ruined.

They don't even dare to look at death.

"I understand, Bai Ye."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and then summoned Enma, preparing to unleash his strongest form to deal with Byakuya.

If he wins today, he will abdicate and kill Byakuya, but he will not touch the Uchiha clan again.

But if he loses today, then he will be a Kage who dies in battle. Although there are many flaws before his death, he is just like all other Kage, and he died in battle, not because he was afraid of death!

"Sarutobi, let me help you. It's been so long since we fought together!"

Danzo, you

Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated, seeing Danzo's condition, it seemed he wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.

Does he really want to do this?

"Don't worry, I'm not dead yet!"

"Count us in!"

Koharu Utatane and Ero Mitokado were also well aware of this.

This time, Byakuya will definitely not let them go. Rather than waiting to die, they might as well go with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Four against one? Then let me take you all out in one go!"

Bai Ye crossed his arms and looked down at the four of them with a disdainful gaze.

Would you be brave just once before you die?!

Perhaps it was because so many people were watching.

"Take all your men and retreat!"

Byakuya waved his hand, signaling the Uchiha clan members to retreat, as the upcoming battle might affect them.

"Chieftain, are you really going to fight four of them by yourself?"

"Four? If they have ten, I'll fight all ten!"

"."

Got it.

The clan leader started showing off.

Uchiha Setsuna and Uchiha Jin exchanged a glance, but didn't say anything more, and directly ordered the Uchiha clansmen to retreat.

Seeing this, other families also gave up their spots to them.

This is just a conflict between the Uchiha clan and Hiruzen Sarutobi, and it has nothing to do with them. If Byakuya wins, they will side with the Uchiha clan in this matter. If Hiruzen Sarutobi wins, although they may not be able to trust each other as much in the future, he can step down and a new Hokage can be elected.

They don't care who is Hokage, whoever wins is Hokage!

"Byakuya, the only mistake I ever made in my life was not fighting alongside Uchiha sooner!"

"What a load of nonsense, you old fogies!"

Byakuya slashed directly at Danzo, who didn't even try to dodge. After Byakuya pierced his heart, Danzo grabbed Byakuya's arm tightly and cried out, "Sarutobi, run!"

Even if Bai Ye found out, since Bai Ye came to him of his own accord, he couldn't possibly seal Bai Ye away without using the Inner Four Symbols Seal.

As he watched Bai Ye being captured, a glint of wild joy flashed in his eyes.

"Danzo."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened, his heart filled with sorrow. If he had listened to Danzo back then, would the ending have been different?
