Everyone was startled and quickly looked around. Sure enough, they saw Luo Wei not far away.

At this moment, Luo Wei was only a dozen meters away from this group of people, and could hypnotize them at any time.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group were on tenterhooks.

"Who are you?"

After waiting a few seconds, Hiruzen Sarutobi, seeing that Luo Wei hadn't made a move, mustered up his courage and asked a question.

Luo Wei said, "I am the master of Konoha Village."

"What a joke, Konoha Village has never had a master."

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately retorted that even the Hokage was merely the leader of Konoha Village, not its master.

Luo Wei nodded, "You're right, but just because it didn't exist before doesn't mean it doesn't exist now."

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately realized, "You want Konoha Village?"

"Yes."

"impossible!"

Luo Wei laughed and said lightly, "Perhaps you've misunderstood something. I'm not here today to discuss anything with you, but to inform you that from this moment on, I am the master of Konoha."

Without hesitation, Hiruzen Sarutobi replied, "I refuse."

"Unfortunately, you have neither the right nor the ability to refuse."

Luo Wei said calmly, and at the same time, he activated the hypnosis without hesitation.

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to form hand seals, he collapsed to the ground with a thud and fell fast asleep.

Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, Hyuga Hiashi, Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, Yamanaka Inoichi, and others followed in the footsteps of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Before he could even finish making the hand seals, he collapsed to the ground with a thud and fell fast asleep.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Hiruzen Sarutobi woke up from his sleep.

I slept very well.

He hadn't had such a good night's sleep in a long time.

So when he woke up, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt refreshed and even his old and tired body felt a little lighter.

But the next second, his memories of the time before he lost consciousness came flooding back like a tidal wave.

In an instant, Hiruzen Sarutobi was startled and quickly jumped up from the ground. Looking around, he found himself back in his office in the Hokage Building.

In the huge office, apart from himself, all the high-ranking officials of Konoha and the heads of the major ninja clans were gathered here.

Even Danzo, the leader of Root, was brought here.

Like themselves, they had just woken up from a deep sleep and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Then, everyone looked towards the back of the Hokage's desk.

Luo Wei sat in the Hokage's seat, looking at them with a half-smile.

“`々I'm awake.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, "Who exactly are you?"

(Good Zhao Good) "Luo Wei, the master of Konoha Village, is also the master of the ninja world."

Luo Wei smiled slightly and asked, "Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said firmly, "Konoha only has leaders, not masters."

"That's in the past. Just now, times have changed. Former Hokage, from this moment on, Konoha is mine, and I am the master of Konoha."

When Luo Wei said these words, he had a matter-of-fact expression on his face, which made many people unhappy.

However, due to the hypnosis incident, no one present dared to make any rash moves.

Only the stubborn Danzo wanted to take action against Luo Wei. He had coveted Konoha for so many years, how could he easily hand it over to an outsider, no matter how powerful that outsider was?

If he can't defeat this enemy head-on, wouldn't he at least launch a sneak attack?

Danzo put his right hand behind his back, made a hand seal, and prepared to release a ninjutsu to ambush Luo Wei.

04. Kneeling, loyalty

Danzo's little tricks couldn't escape Luo Wei's notice, but Luo Wei didn't stop him. Instead, he looked at Danzo with a smile.

When Danzo saw Luo Wei's gaze fall on him, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

But now that things had come to this, he had no intention of stopping and quickly formed hand seals.

But just as Danzo was about to unleash his ninjutsu, a sharp pain shot through his heart, piercing his entire body, pulling and churning every nerve in his body.

"Aaaaaaaaaa..."

Danzo couldn't help but let out a hysterical scream, then collapsed to the ground with a thud, his body convulsing.

This scene caused everyone present to change their expressions.

Luo Wei glanced at everyone with a half-smile. "The reason I woke you all up is naturally because I have ways to control you. I believe each of you is familiar with the Caged Bird Technique."

Upon hearing this, everyone present twitched involuntarily and subconsciously looked at each other's foreheads.

Their foreheads were smooth and shiny, without a single ugly mark.

“No need to look anymore.” Luo Wei waved his hand and said, “The mark I placed on you is more powerful than that of a caged bird, and it is placed on the 420th position of your heart.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi subconsciously pulled open his clothes, but his chest remained completely bare.

Luo Wei calmly said, "I already said it's the heart, not the chest. If you want to see the mark I left, you have to cut open your chest and see your own heart."

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others remained silent.

Luo Wei continued, "Actually, it's not just you, but all the ninja clans in Konoha, including Yamanaka, Nara, Akimichi, Hyuga, Aburame, Shimura, Inuzuka, Sarutobi, and so on."

“I have planted the same mark on every clan with a name and surname.”

"Of course, the other Jonin are no exception."

"Your lives and deaths are all in my hands."

"If you don't want to live anymore, you can tell me anytime, and I will wipe out your entire clan, just like you wiped out the Uchiha clan."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

Nara Shikaku said, "My lord, please don't misunderstand, and don't act impulsively. We can discuss this matter."

"It's not a discussion, and I'm too lazy to discuss it with you."

Luo Wei calmly said, "I have already made myself very clear. From now on, I am the master of Konoha. I will rule Konoha from now on. My words are orders. You just need to carry them out."

Nara Shikaku glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen but didn't say anything.

"There's no need to look at him. From the moment I arrived in Konoha, Konoha had nothing to do with him anymore. Now, the life and death of everyone in the Sarutobi clan are in my hands."

“He wouldn’t dare to provoke me unless he wanted to exterminate the Uchiha clan like they did.”

"You agree, don't you, former Hokage?"

Faced with Luo Wei's casual teasing, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face twitched, but he dared not refute Luo Wei's words, because he did not know whether these words were true or false.

What if it's true? What if all the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan have been captured by the other side?

If he refutes now, wouldn't he really be following in the footsteps of the Uchiha clan?

Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi can only remain silent now.

Luo Wei said to Nara Shikaku, "Nara Shikaku, you are a smart man. Now tell me your choice: continue to resist and be killed by me, or kneel down and offer your loyalty to me."

"I'll give you only three seconds to think it over, three, two..."

Before Luo Wei could finish speaking, Nara Shikaku knelt down with a thud. There was no way around it; Luo Wei was simply too powerful, and the entire Hidden Leaf Village was easily controlled by him.

If we don't surrender now, are we really going to have to play a game of elimination with our entire family wiped out?

The smarter a person is, the less willing they are to follow in the footsteps of the Uchiha clan.

"My lord, from this day forward, I pledge my loyalty to you on behalf of the Nara clan."

Luo Wei nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza, "I've heard that the Ino-Shika-Cho trio always stick together, are you two going to kneel too?"

Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Inui exchanged a glance and then knelt down with a thud.

He decided to pledge his loyalty to Loewy.

Luo Wei's gaze shifted to Hyuga Hiashi, "And you, Hyuga clan leader, will you continue to resist stubbornly, or..."

Before Luo Wei could finish speaking, Hyuga Hiashi knelt down with a thud, saying, "The Hyuga clan has long hoped for a wise ruler like you to govern Konoha."

Luo Wei suddenly realized, "I see. It seems your clan hasn't been doing so well since Hiruzen Sarutobi's announcement. Is it because of your brother's situation?"

Hiashi Hyuga said decisively, "Ever since that incident, the Hyuga clan has become estranged from Hiruzen Sarutobi. If Hiruzen Sarutobi weren't the Hokage, the Hyuga would have already settled scores with him."

His brother's death was a source of immense heartache for him.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't been of such a high status, he would have been made to pay the price no matter what.

Luo Wei turned to look at Hiruzen Sarutobi, "It seems you're not a popular Hokage."

Hiruzen Sarutobi coldly said, "If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext. I believe I have a clear conscience before Konoha."

Luo Wei gave him a half-smile and said, "I do believe that, but unfortunately, you're too incompetent."

"Under your rule, Konoha experienced two Shinobi World Wars. We were victorious, but the losses were severe. Hatake Sakumo committed suicide, Orochimaru defected, Tsunade left, and Jiraiya remained distant from Konoha."

"The Uchiha clan was wiped out, and Naruto Uzumaki lived a life worse than a dog. The Hyuga clan's problems were clearly the fault of Kumogakure, but you insist on making the Hyuga clan take the blame."

"Look at what you've done. Under your rule, the once mighty Konoha has declined in strength."

"Now, we're almost facing a talent shortage."

"But what's interesting is that the Sarutobi clan has thrived and lived a very fulfilling life with your help. I just checked, and there are probably more than three thousand ninjas in your Sarutobi clan."

Luo Wei paused here and looked at Hyuga Hiashi.

"Hyuga leader, how many ninjas does your Hyuga clan have?"

Hiashi Hyuga said, "More than a thousand people."

Luo Wei sighed, "You guys are no good either. You're not even as good as the Sarutobi clan. You still have the nerve to call yourselves the number one clan in Konoha."

Hiashi Hyuga stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi in disbelief, speechless.

If he remembered correctly, when the Sarutobi clan joined Konoha, it was just a small ninja clan.

There were probably a few hundred people.

Not to mention the Uchiha and Senju clans, they are far inferior even to their own ninja clans.

It has now grown to more than three thousand people.

That's ridiculously exaggerated.

Is this really the Hokage I know? Just how much did he embezzle to allow the Sarutobi clan to grow to its current size?

05. The Agent Tobirama Senju

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face twitched. He hadn't expected that Luo Wei knew so much about the Sarutobi clan, and even revealed it publicly.

At this point, he couldn't hold back anymore.

I always feel that other people's gazes toward my goals have taken on a deeper meaning.

It was as if I were watching an unprecedented corrupt official.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to speak up in his defense, "I admit that I did provide some conveniences to the Sarutobi clan, but the Sarutobi clan has developed to where it is today entirely through its own efforts."

"I have not shown any favoritism towards the Sarutobi clan."

"Really? I don't believe it."

Luo Wei sneered, turned to look at Nara Shikaku, and asked, "You are the head of Konoha. Tell me, where did the wealth accumulated by the Senju clan go after their demise?"

"Were they all confiscated and used for the benefit of Konoha?"
