Ignite the fire from the pirates

The roar outside just now once again shattered his inner luck and expected offline.

The previous roar was directed at the Shimura clan, but now it has reached the point of annihilation.

Then, will the next group of people that the villagers ask to hold accountable the Sarutobi clan also be asked to be wiped out?

As the eldest son of the Third Hokage, he knew exactly what the current situation was like for Sarutobi.

This was the first time that the village held a public trial of a senior official. All the crimes he had committed were uncovered one by one, and even those test subjects who had not yet died were rescued.

All the evidence of crimes was made public, and someone had to bear the anger of the villagers, someone had to become an outlet for those who made up the majority of the civilian population.

Danzo Shimura might not be enough. If the Shimura clan is filled in and it is still not enough, then the next one will definitely be his father.

If that’s not enough…

He couldn't imagine what the outcome would be.

The identity of the previous Hokage is nothing in the face of the angry people.

As long as the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze wanted, it would probably be a very pleasing thing for the Sarutobi clan to be pushed forward to extinguish the anger of the people.

By then... no matter whether it is Ino-Shika-Chou or other ninja clans, it goes without saying that they will all just stand by and watch.

In this situation, as long as you open your mouth, you may be filled in.

“Panicking doesn’t solve anything.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen cleaned up the remains of the pipe on the table slowly and methodically, but his hands were shaking slightly.

After a while, he sat down again and said, "In the ideology class at the Ninja School yesterday, the teacher talked about the Root human experiment incident. At the same time... there are also the problems of me, the Third Hokage, and the thoughts of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze."

Upon hearing this, his eldest son was stunned.

Can this also be taught in a classroom at a ninja school?

The Hokage Building didn't intervene?

It has been an unspoken rule from ancient times to the present to respect the names of respected people.

"Ah……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's laughter was a little stiff: "Very surprised, huh? As the person involved, I am sitting in the audience, and I am more surprised than you are now."

"He even seemed to understand many things better than me, the person in power at the time... He judged by deeds rather than by heart, and explained his thoughts and ideas through his actions. This method even made me see myself more clearly."

Ignoring his eldest son's doubts and confusion, Sarutobi Hiruzen left the study.

But within a few days, what was taught in the ideology class seemed to be an epiphany for me.

What I thought in the past was for the sake of the village seemed so ridiculous after being analyzed one by one.

Just as you said, do you really not know about the human experiments?

Whether it is the reagents and instruments needed for cell research, or the missing ninjas, and the scientific research assistants needed by the Root.

None of these things appear out of thin air.

So many clues pointed to the root, but because there was no real solid evidence, I did not ask or consider further investigation.

With a laissez-faire attitude, I may not be without the intention of agreeing.

The research on primary cells was allowed by the village at the beginning, but the test subjects had to be voluntary at that time.

However, the primary generation cells were so aggressive that none of the test subjects survived, so the research on primary generation cells was eventually terminated.

"Because conflicts between the five major ninja villages occur frequently, the intervals between the several ninja world wars are getting shorter and shorter. The tailed beasts that the first Hokage distributed to each ninja village were originally intended to form a mutual deterrent, but eventually became weapons of war."

"From the perspective of the Third Hokage at the time, once the research on the first generation of cells made progress, the benefits to Konoha would be huge."

The teacher's words in class echoed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind.

"At best, we can replicate a ninja god like the first Hokage. With absolute power, Konoha will once again become the initiator of the Five Kage Talks, and will be able to end the war again with absolute dominance and bring world peace."

"Of course, the peace here has been verified before. Peace formed in a short period of time through the use of force is difficult to maintain."

"But making Konoha glorious again is inevitable."

"And at the very least... the experiment with the first generation's cells was successful. Even if the test subject does not have the same power as the first generation, the Wood Release can clearly restrain the tailed beasts."

"That is to say... under Wood Release, the role of the tailed beasts in the conflict between Konoha and the various villages will be suppressed. From a strategic point of view, having or not having the tailed beasts is two different situations."

"So... the Third Hokage who was in office at the time also wanted the First Hokage's cell research to succeed."

In the courtyard, listening to the slogans outside, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his hands.

The gentleman said that those who are involved are often confused.

But after being enlightened, he saw his true thoughts at that time.

Danzo is not a concern. A guy who has been hiding in the darkness all his life, a guy who is unpopular because of the Root's withdrawal of various ninja clans... has no chance of becoming Hokage.

It is precisely because of this that I let so many things go.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly walked out of the courtyard.

It was not because he had a change of heart, but because he was not alone. Behind him were not only his son, daughter-in-law and newborn grandson, but also the entire Sarutobi clan.

……

Under Shadow Rock.

A man with a broken arm, disheveled appearance, gloomy and ferocious eyes was brought to the center.

For a moment, the villagers who had gathered here from all over Konoha were in an uproar.

Curses were heard everywhere, and the neat slogans that had just been heard disappeared in the chaos.

"That guy is Danzo?"

"Uncle Huo Mu's family was harmed by this guy, and Yan..."

"The Akimichi clan also has it?"

"The Multiplication Technique is also a Yang-attribute Chakra secret technique. A few years ago, three families in the clan disappeared in the war. Two of the children are still alive and are currently in the hospital."

"This damn bastard!"

"Kill the old dog!"

"You must pay the price for harming your fellow villagers!"

"Liquidation! Liquidation of the Shimura clan!"

"And Sarutobi Hiruzen! What was he doing at that time?"

"He betrayed our trust in him and protected this old dog just because of our past friendship!"

……

Far away outside the crowd.

Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Inoichi stood on the water tank and could only stay there after signaling to the Anbu responsible for guarding the surrounding area.

"You're not going to the torture department's record report?"

"Ibiki Morino will be in charge. It's not appropriate for me to be in charge of the intelligence department here."

The two were silent for a while.

Akimichi Choza clenched his hands, then whispered, "I really didn't expect this day to come. At that time, I had already been persuaded by Shikaku to give up."

Yamanaka Inichi sighed.

There are some things that even the Hokage can guess, not to mention them.

The management of the roots is extremely strict, but whether it is the researchers' food and clothing, or all the materials needed for the experiments, some clues are bound to be missed.

The patriarchs of the Ino, Shikaku, and Chou tribes were obviously aware of this, but Nara Shikaku persuaded Chojo to stop at the very beginning.

The three tribes have been one since before the Warring States Period. In a situation where all will suffer if one suffers, Shikaku naturally gave his answer.

This answer made Akimichi Choza, who had originally wanted to go to the Hokage building to cause a scene, finally give up and remain silent.

"Mr.'s arrival has changed everything."

Yamanaka Hiro paused, then lowered his voice: "In the Ninja School class yesterday, the teacher used this incident as an example to analyze various aspects of this incident to the fourth-year students."

Akimichi Choza looked puzzled. "So the Third Generation was also mentioned by the teacher? I remember that the Third Generation seemed to have been attending classes at the Ninja School recently, right?"

Yamanaka Hai smiled.

"Not only that... When the class was being taught, Sandai was sitting in the last row listening, and the teacher even asked him to answer some questions."

Qiu Daodingzuo's gaze was still focused on the position under the Shadow Rock.

"I'm not as smart as Shikaku and you, but I've always felt that the wisdom of the third generation is not much worse than Shikaku."

Upon hearing this, Shan Zhonghai was stunned.

Yes, could it be that the three generations that were pointed out by the gentleman yesterday have also made their choice?

No, it should be said that person has made a choice.

Otherwise, as the previous Hokage, why did he go to the Ninja School to attend classes on time these days?

Yesterday, she was asked a question, but she did not refuse to answer it because of her status. Instead, she gave the gentleman enough face.

So what does Lu Jiu think?

For the Ino, Shika and Chou clans, canceling the friendship witness procedure with the Sarutobi clan was already an offense.

The Sarutobi clan cannot rise again, at least not within the next twenty years, and the third generation cannot be in power again, otherwise Ino-Shika-Chou will become a joke.

"Dingzuo."

"Ok?"

"Help me connect with my tribe."

Ding Zuo thought about it and shook his head slightly: "Lu Jiu didn't explain."

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Haiyi frowned and thought for a moment, but finally gave up his plan.

Shikaku is the Hokage's assistant. With the wisdom of the Nara clan and the bond of Ino-Shika-Cho's shared success, he must be aware of the current developments of events.

Since there is no explanation, adding unnecessary details may have the opposite effect.

……

On the other side, Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga clan, was standing with Hyuga Hizashi who was in charge of vigilance.

"I'm afraid even the first Hokage-sama didn't have such a momentum when the village was founded and he was appointed Hokage."

Hinata Hiashi looked towards the direction of Shadow Rock in the distance. The already mad Shimura Danzo lowered his head. One of his arms was broken, and he looked like a dog that had lost its home.

The masked Hyuga Hiashi replied: "You shouldn't be here."

Hearing this, Rizu said in a deep voice: "You don't even want to call me brother?"

Hiashi: "When an ANBU is on a mission, you shouldn't reveal your identity even if it's someone you know. Doing so is enough for the security forces to hold you accountable."

The two brothers looked at each other and refused to give an inch.

After a while, the two of them finished.

Hinata Hiashi whispered, "I have two daughters. Hanabi is very talented, and so is Hinata."

Hiashi: "If she is very talented, Hinata should study in the clan instead of going to the ninja school."

This made Hyuga Hiashi sigh.

"That girl is much stronger than me. She made a choice that I could never make. Hinata thought I didn't notice, but for a Hyuuga, she was a little too immature to hide it."

"The use of the curse three years ago may have been the turning point for him to make up his mind. That child was too kind, so he didn't want Hanabi to suffer the same pain in the future."

Hinata Hizashi clasped his hands.

"What exactly do you want to say?"

Hinata Hiashi replied: "I was thinking about the past a long time ago. At that time, you and I were not like we are now. You always yelled that you would protect me, your brother."

Hinata Hiashi smiled when he said this.

Likewise, Hyuga Hizashi's expression softened, albeit a little oddly.

"Before Hinata was three years old, Neji also worked hard to train with the goal of protecting Hinata. He... loved Hinata very much."
