Faced with such an opponent, any ninja below the rank of Chunin would definitely suffer countless casualties.

"Hiruzen, I'm here."

Danzo, leaning on his cane, came down to Hiruzen Sarutobi and said.

Upon seeing Danzo, the ninjas below began to discuss the matter animatedly.

"Why is Lord Danzo here?"

That's exactly what I meant!

What surprised the ninjas even more was Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi's attitude towards Danzo.

"Danzo's presence undoubtedly gives me more confidence in tonight's operation." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled when he saw Danzo appear.

This scene left the ninjas below completely astonished.

"I'm not seeing things, am I? Lord Danzo and the Hokage have a close relationship?"

In the line, someone rubbed their eyes to make sure they hadn't misjudged.

Someone said, "Isn't it said that Lord Danzo and the Hokage have always been at odds?"

"I think that if Lord Danzo and the Hokage put aside their past grievances, Konoha will surely turn the tide and not only defeat the Hyuga clan, but also overcome the meteorite crisis," someone else said.

"Hiruzen, my Root troops will also be assisting the main force in this operation," Danzo said calmly.

“Thank you, Danzo.” Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.

The ninjas below were all surprised to see that Danzo was actually willing to send Root's ANBU into battle.

"It seems that Lord Danzo still cares about Konoha."

"Isn't that obvious!? Lord Danzo has always had Konoha in his heart."

The Konoha ninjas' impression of Shimura Danzo improved slightly, but the fact that Root was disbanded by Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi was selectively ignored.

Danzo then added, "Furthermore... the Hyuga Genji of the Hyuga clan also has his heart set on Konoha, and he is here now wanting to contribute to Konoha's actions against the Hyuga."

"Hyuga Genji?"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Then let him come up!"

As soon as the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, spoke, one of the people in the group slowly stepped forward and came to Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi's side.

When the ninjas below looked up, they saw that this person had a pair of white pupils on his face. This person was none other than the Hyuga Genji, who had severed ties with his clan.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Genji Hyuga and said, "It was a difficult choice for you to stand on Konoha's side."

"But please believe me, this is the right choice."

As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi patted Genji Hyuga on the shoulder.

Genji Hyuga immediately knelt down and swore allegiance, saying, "Yes, Hokage-sama, I will do everything in my power for Konoha."

Chapter 101 Hinata’s end

"Okay, then let's rejoin the team."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and nodded, saying, "We need to hurry and act before the Hyuga clan reacts."

"Yes."

Genji Hyuga stood up stiffly and walked towards the ranks below.

Upon returning to his unit, Genji was greeted with warm welcomes from the ninjas, who praised his actions of betraying the Hyuga and siding with Konoha.

"To realize one's mistakes and return to the right path is the greatest virtue."

"It seems the Hyuga clan isn't all scoundrels! There are still people loyal to Konoha!"

"You're not siding with your clan, you've chosen our side. Genji, your resolve is truly admirable!!"

Genji ignored the words of these Konoha ninjas and simply returned to his seat, standing there blankly.

On the field, after thinking for a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Danzo Shimura and said, "Danzo, why don't you go to the back and help Koharu and Homura?"

"Alright, it's up to you now, Hiruzen. Leave the rear to me." Danzo obeyed Hiruzen Sarutobi's order without hesitation.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Thank you for everything you've done for Konoha, Danzo."

"It's my duty, no need to be polite."

Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice behind him, Danzo turned and walked in the opposite direction from the group. However, what no one saw was a strange smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.

After Danzo left, Hiruzen Sarutobi announced the Hyuga clan's crimes in front of everyone: "The Hyuga clan attempted to defect from Konoha! They do not consider themselves part of Konoha, and now they want to defect and leave Konoha regardless of the crisis Konoha is facing."

"Do you think we can tolerate such a traitor defecting from Konoha?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his fist and shouted at the group of ninjas below.

"No!! No!!! No!!!"

The ninjas below shouted in unison.

"Alright! Tonight we will make the Hyuga clan pay the price for what they have done!!" Hiruzen Sarutobi roared to the sky.

"Make the Hyuga clan pay the price for their betrayal!!"

The ninjas below became excited and raised their arms in celebration.

Before arriving, these Konoha ninjas already knew about the Hyuga clan's crimes. Upon arrival, and further incited by Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, they became incredibly excited, as if they'd been injected with adrenaline. They wanted to kill the Hyuga clan members to prove their loyalty to Konoha.

"Heading towards the Hyuga clan's territory!!"

Then, under Hiruzen Sarutobi's command, the massive army quickly turned around, the rear guard becoming the front guard, and headed towards the Hyuga clan's territory.

Genji Hyuga was mixed in with this huge group, and like these Konoha ninjas, he wielded his sword against the Hyuga clan.

Genji was filled with immense grief, but he could only endure it.

Isn't the essence of being a ninja to learn to endure everything?

...

...

Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office.

"How could Konoha do such a thing!"

Tsunade grabbed the collars of the two ANBU members blocking her way and shouted angrily, "Get out of my way! I need to stop this from happening!"

"Lady Tsunade, our orders are that you are not allowed to leave the Hokage Building." The two Anbu members were at a loss for words. They were also following orders; how could they let Tsunade go?

"Is this what those two old guys wanted?" Tsunade sneered.

"This is not only the opinion of the two advisors and elders, but also the opinion of the Hokage."

"The Hokage ordered us to take good care of Lady Tsunade and not to leave here until the matter of the Hyuga clan is resolved," the two Anbu members added.

After hearing what the Anbu said, Tsunade frowned. "Is this what the teacher wants?"

"Yes! Yes! It's the Hokage's idea."

The two secret agents immediately nodded, and the other secret agents behind them echoed in agreement.

"Lady Tsunade, this is what the Hokage means."

"The Hokage does not want Lady Tsunade to get involved in the Hyuga clan's affairs. The Hyuga clan deserves their fate."

Tsunade listened to the ANBU's explanation, and anger welled up inside her. "You..."

Just as she was about to get angry, the door was opened and two people walked into the room.

The visitors were none other than Jonin Kakashi and Jonin Might Guy.

After Kakashi entered, he said, "Lady Tsunade, please release them! They were acting on the Hokage's orders."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade released her grip, and the two ANBU members collapsed to the ground.

Kakashi then looked at the Anbu members and said, "You guys go out and keep watch!"

Several members of the secret service looked at their captain, who nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you two. I'll take my leave."

The captain of the dark forces led his men to the gate, opened it, and went outside. They would wait outside.

After the Anbu left the room, Kakashi sighed and said to Tsunade, "Don't waste your energy, Lady Tsunade. The Hokage gave us a strict order not to leave here."

"Kakashi, the Hyuga clan is a member of Konoha. They have served the village since my grandfather's time. How could the village... possibly harm them?" Tsunade patted her chest, desperately trying to explain to the two of them.

Kakashi's expression was slightly helpless. "I know Lady Tsunade doesn't want to see this happen, and neither do I. But this is the village's decision."

Tsunade shook her head. "No, I can't stay here. I'm going to stop them right now."

As she spoke, Tsunade walked toward the door.

Just as she was about to open the door, a figure blocked her way.

"Lady Tsunade, you can't go out."

The man in the green bodysuit gave Tsunade a thumbs up, revealing a set of pearly white teeth.

Tsunade recognized the man in front of her. His name was Might Guy, one of the village's few elite Jonin. However, his clothing and behavior were somewhat strange, and he looked unremarkable.

"Get out of the way."
