In Konoha, you get one evolution point every day.

This document detailing Danzo's crimes was confiscated in full view of everyone.

Tsunade stood on the execution platform.

"Prepare for execution."

Danzo Shimura's eyes widened.

The Shimura members, upon hearing this, said with some surprise:

"Lord Fourth Hokage, wasn't the execution scheduled for two hours later?"

Tsunade glanced at her coldly.

"Didn't you hear me? That's an order!"

At this moment, Tsunade's face no longer had the friendly expression she wore during the live broadcast. Instead, the only thing visible on her face was the calm demeanor of someone declaring a fact, a ruthlessness that only politicians possess.

Everyone who saw Tsunade like this felt a chill run down their spines: at this moment, no one thought that Tsunade was a pushover Hokage or anything like that.

This kind of pressure is far more intense than that brought by the three great ninjas.

"Perhaps we all underestimated Tsunade."

Nara Shikao did not participate, but sent his son and clansmen to express the Nara clan's sincerity.

Yamanaka Inokichi and Akimichi Choyou nodded; their actions were in line with Nara Shikao's.

The broadcast dialogue rang out clearly from various instruments. A Chunin named Utatane, who had run over with a radio, relayed everything Tsunade had just said to the members of the "coup d'état".

"Gentlemen, we have no chance to back down now."

"Lin Fan is no pushover, and Tsunade... is no different!"

Koharu's voice echoed in everyone's ears. Under this heavy pressure, those who had initially thought of backing down and pretending nothing had happened gritted their teeth and agreed.

"The elder is right, our Inuzuka clan has no way out!"

"We Aburame women are one of them!"

"We, the Hyuga clan, will do everything in our power!"

"..."

The commotion from the coup plotters was accompanied by another voice coming from the radio.

"Tsunade, could I speak with Danzo alone?"

Upon hearing this voice, everyone was greatly encouraged.

This...it's actually the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi!

On the execution platform.

Just as Tsunade gave the order, two Shimura members slowly raised their execution swords, and Shimura Danzo's eyes widened.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped up the stairs unhurriedly to the execution platform, a simple white cloak bearing the word "Justice" draped over his back.

He came and sat down on the execution platform.

"Tsunade, could I speak with Danzo alone?"

This time, his voice no longer carried the absolute authority it had when he was Hokage, nor did it possess the decisive and efficient aura of someone who had risen to a high position.

Yes, it was just a small request from an ordinary elderly person to a younger generation.

Tsunade fell silent for a moment.

The two Shimura members who were about to carry out the execution stopped their knives.

Danzo Shimura cried out to Hiruzen Sarutobi for help.

"call."

Tsunade exhaled a breath of stale air, the coldness on her face softening slightly. She removed the headset and microphone:

"You have ten minutes."

"Thanks."

At this point, communications on the execution platform were cut off.

Koharu, who was in the "coup d'état" area, breathed a sigh of relief:

"Hiruzen, he's buying us time."

"Everyone, stop hesitating."

"Once Danzo dies, we will have no name left."

"Let's make the most of this time... and set off!"

The coup plotters let out a low growl and began to move.

......

On the execution platform.

The towel in Danzo's mouth was removed.

"Hiruzen, save me!"

This is the first sentence of Danzo Shimura.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat disappointed; he had thought that Danzo might say something at the last moment.

"Danzo, this is no longer something I can change."

Upon hearing this, Shimura Danzo's eyes widened in shock. Kneeling on the execution platform, he stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi's profile: "Hiruzen... you..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat cross-legged on the execution platform, his white cloak billowing in the wind behind him.

The word "justice" caught Danzo's eye.

Danzo opened his mouth, paused for three seconds, and then smiled with relief:

"So that's how it is... You joined them."

Danzo turned his gaze away with a sense of relief, looking down at the village from the execution platform—time seemed to pull the two of them back to their childhood, to the scene of sitting on the Hokage Rock.

......

Below the execution platform, on three chairs, Jiraiya yawned, Orochimaru rested his chin on his hand, and Lin Fan teased the rabbit on his shoulder with a blade of grass.

At that moment, the voice above them announced the execution of Danzo, which was Tsunade's. Orochimaru, upon hearing this, grinned at Lin Fan:

"I really don't understand. They'd most likely back down after you announced their guilt, so why push them?"

Lin Fan paused slightly as he teased the rabbit, and Jiraiya looked over.

Lin Fan glanced at Orochimaru.

"There will be no winners, only a bunch of actors."

......

After the sounds from the execution platform faded, all the official team leaders began signaling to their team members, and all the Konoha ninjas became alert.

According to Lin Fan, the moment the sound from the execution platform ceased was the start of the "war".

"Look! What's that!"

As the first sound rang out, one after another, people followed the sound and spotted the "coup d'état" group, appearing from outside the yellow line.

"So they really came?" Kiyohiko Uzuki leaned against a chimney wall, his arms crossed. Less than a minute after the first person noticed, visibly smaller than locusts, like thousands upon thousands of fleas, began to dart across the eaves.

—The dormitory-switching group, 150 people.

—The Mitomon clan, 130 people.

—The Sarutobi clan, 122 members.

—The Inuzuka clan, 57 members.

—The Oil Women Clan, 25 people.

—The Inoue clan, 12 people.

——......

—The Hyuga clan, 127 people.

—The Uchiha clan, 573 people.

total.

The "coup plotters" – 1512 people.

......

Below the execution platform, Orochimaru said, "Aren't there a bit too many people?"

Upon seeing those densely packed figures, even as they walked across the floor, he could sense from a great distance that a Konoha army capable of waging war was approaching him.

When a group of people move, the chakra they carry seems to be a powerful aura gathered together.

The dark clouds in the sky are also getting closer because of this powerful force.

A dark mass of people. Standing on the rooftop and looking up, all that could be seen was more than four figures of Konoha ninjas constantly approaching.

"Captain." A Konoha ninja nervously gripped the kunai in his hand. Even though they knew this was not a drill, it was still inevitable to feel nervous when facing a group of "their own people".

With her medium-length black hair tied in a single ponytail, Umino Ikkaku said to her subordinate, "Don't be nervous."

The ninja sword was drawn, making a crisp sound.

"It's nothing special."

"No matter what."

"We must all defend... our own territory."

As Unno Ikkaku finished speaking, the footsteps in front of him stopped abruptly—the Inuzuka clan's troops had arrived at the entrance of the street.

The head of the Inuzuka clan, Inuzuka Keihei, stood at the front of the crowd, with a group of Inuzuka ninjas dressed in Inuzuka uniforms behind him.

Keihei Inuzuka looked up and saw a corner of Umino's body in front of the crowd opposite him. He then glanced at the dozens of Konoha ninja behind him.

"It's one cent."

"I never imagined we would become enemies."

Umino Ikkaku raises his ninja sword:

"If we retreat now, we are not yet enemies."

Keihei Inuzuka sighed, raised his hand, and said:

"In that case, let's wait until everything is over before discussing it further."

"Let's do it!"

Upon hearing this, the Inuzuka clan's troops let out a low growl and charged forward.

Meanwhile, Umino Ikkaku raised his hand and waved it forward, and dozens of Konoha ninja rushed forward.
