Hostile to the Uchiha? Don't regret relocating your entire clan!

Hearing the complaints from Shimura Danzo and the other two, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed: "It's too late to say anything now. These letters are everywhere in Konoha. The villagers have already seen them. Even if we forcibly collect them, it won't make a difference."

Upon hearing this, Danzo Shimura coldly replied, "Then tell me what to do!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Danzo Shimura and the other two, and said in a deep voice, "Someone has to step forward and take responsibility now."

"Danzo, since your reputation is already ruined, just be the bad guy."

When Shimura Danzo heard that he was being blamed, he immediately became unhappy: "Hiruzen, can you please stop making me take the blame for everything that happens?"

"Now that the village has become like this, you, as the Hokage, bear the greatest responsibility."

"If you ask me, you should just step down and hand over the reins to a more capable person."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said earnestly, "Danzo, I'm doing this all for your sake."

"Think about it, with your current reputation, even if I step down, will people still elect you as Hokage?"

Danzo Shimura paused for a moment, then lowered his voice: "Even if you don't abdicate, you can't make me take the blame."

“Then take the money,” Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly. “The villagers will complain and be dissatisfied, but in the end, it’s because they have no money in their pockets and no food in their bowls.”

"As long as you come up with enough money, you won't have to take the blame for this."

“That won’t do,” Shimura Danzo immediately refused.

He needs to keep his money to recruit soldiers and fund various experiments, how can he give it to those villagers of Konoha?

That would cost so much!

"Then you'll take the blame."

Danzo Shimura pursed his lips, but did not continue to protest.

His Root now has a child who has mastered the power of Wood Release, and success is imminent, so his money absolutely cannot be wasted.

So what if his reputation is a bit bad? As long as he has enough power, the position of Hokage will be his sooner or later.

Seeing Shimura Danzo remain silent, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his gaze to Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura: "You two will take some money from the clan to help with the emergency, and you can also salvage some of your reputation."

"Where there's life, there's hope. Money can be made anytime. Let's appease people first."

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's arrangement, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane could only agree with tears in their eyes.

To satisfy everyone, they'll probably have to spend a lot of money this time.

It's all the Uchiha's fault. Those inherently evil guys only cause trouble for us.

It's their fault for not being ruthless enough back then, which led to this disaster.

When the opportunity arises in the future, they will never make the same mistake again. They will make sure that the name of the Uchiha clan is completely wiped out, just like the Senju clan!

While Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others were discussing the matter, an ANBU member appeared in the office.

"Lord Hokage, the villagers outside have already gathered and will probably surround the Hokage Building soon. Should you gentlemen take cover for a while?"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others looked out the window.

Not far from the Hokage Building, a large number of Konoha villagers had gathered and were marching towards the Hokage Building in a grand procession.

"Third Hokage, we've fought two wars, so why is it that the Third Raikage is always the one leading the charge, while you always hide in the village?"

"So many young lives have been lost in these two wars, yet you are all unharmed. We want the Hokage to personally explain to everyone what the so-called Will of Fire truly is!"

"And... was the Uchiha clan really forced to leave the village because they couldn't stand being suppressed by you?"

"What exactly happened with Sakumo Hatake? Why did those bastards from Kumogakure say that you manipulated public opinion and made Sakumo Hatake a scapegoat?"

Chapter 77 The Bloodline Limit Ninja Has Arrived?

The angry villagers of Konoha surrounded the Hokage Building.

The thank-you letter written by the ninjas of Kumogakure helped them understand the course of the battle between Kumogakure and the Allied Shinobi Forces.

This made them even more dissatisfied with Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others.

The Third Raikage led the village's Kage-level ninja in a fierce charge against a 10,000-strong Allied Shinobi Forces, risking his life to protect the village's ninjas. Meanwhile, their Third Hokage remained in the village and never went to the battlefield.

Almost all of the four thousand ninja sent out were killed, and even Orochimaru had his arm severed, but the commander-in-chief, Danzo Shimura, returned to the village unharmed.

They keep spouting slogans like "Where the leaves dance, the fire will never die. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and allow new leaves to sprout," but the reality is that the new generation is constantly dying out, while the older generation of ninjas are still alive and well.

Who is protecting whom?

Seeing the angry villagers, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to go to the roof of the Hokage Building.

Having been in power for so many years, he is all too aware of the power of public opinion.

If the public's anger is not quelled today, the public opinion will escalate, and he, as Hokage, will be in danger.

"Everyone, please be quiet. If you have any requests, you can tell me. As the Hokage, I will never shirk my responsibilities."

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice, the previously noisy crowd fell silent for a brief moment.

Immediately afterwards, someone shouted: "Third Hokage, is it because you're unhappy that Sakumo Hatake defected from the village and made him a scapegoat?"

"And the Uchiha clan, have you and those three advisors been embezzling their assets all along?"

"Why don't you go to the battlefield and kill the enemy? Aren't you the strongest Hokage?"

Hearing the villagers' questions, Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his hands and pressed them down.

Once the crowd quieted down, he spoke in a deep voice: "I am also very saddened by what happened to Sakumo, but there were signs that the Uchiha clan had defected. It was because he, as the head of the Anbu, did not report any information to me that the village was completely unaware."

"In the recent war with Kumogakure, Sakumo Hatake showed no mercy in killing his comrades in the village. He must have been in cahoots with the Uchiha clan long ago. The reason he didn't defect to the village with them was probably just to stay and pass on intelligence for the Uchiha clan."

"This was indeed my fault. If I had realized Sakumo Hatake's ambition sooner, I would never have let him go!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi positioned himself on a high vantage point, pointing fingers at Sakumo Hatake and directly accusing him of betraying the village and defecting to the enemy.

Immediately afterward, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke again: "And the Uchiha clan..."

"They've always been unruly and do things their own way. They enjoy the privilege of not having to go out on dangerous missions, yet they bully others in the village... You all know that, right?"

"Moreover, the so-called embezzlement of the Uchiha clan's assets is utter nonsense. It's just a tactic by the Hidden Cloud Village to divide us from within."

After saying that, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed: "As for the defeat in the war, I am even more heartbroken than everyone else."

"Those who died were all children I watched grow up!"

"To give everyone an explanation..." Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his hand and waved it, and Danzo Shimura was escorted to the front of the stage by two Anbu members. "This is my old teammate of many years, and also the village's Hokage advisor."

"Today, he is willing to atone with his death!"

Upon hearing this, Danzo Shimura looked up at Hiruzen Sarutobi, somewhat bewildered.

Dude, don't add your own drama! When you made me take the blame, you didn't say I'd have to die again!

Before he could speak, the ANBU raised their long swords and chopped off Shimura Danzo's head.

After doing all this, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately said, "Advisors Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado just said that they will provide money and food from the clan to compensate everyone for their losses."

"The village will also step in to help everyone get through this difficult time."

"I assure you all that I will make sure you live a life no worse than it was before the Uchiha clan defected from the village!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was full of confidence.

After killing the daimyo, he took control of the entire Land of Fire.

With the combined efforts of the entire nation, it wouldn't be particularly difficult for the people of Konoha Village to achieve the same level of comfortable living as before.

As for the others outside Konoha Village, they'll just have to endure the hardship for now.

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's assurance, the previously angry Konoha villagers immediately showed joy on their faces.

They stopped clamoring for the Uchiha clan to return to the village, and they stopped demanding Hiruzen Sarutobi step down.

With money and food, everything is negotiable.

After everyone dispersed, Hiruzen Sarutobi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

This level has finally passed.

Although it requires sacrificing some benefits, it's all worth it to preserve one's reputation and power.

Danzo Shimura emerged from the shadows, giving Hiruzen Sarutobi a resentful look: "Hiruzen, you've cut me down in public now, how am I supposed to run for Hokage after this?"

"I'll just give you a different identity from now on, since hardly anyone knows you anyway."

After saying this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Uchiha Yuzuru, you'll go blind one day, won't you? I'll be waiting!"

In the distance, Uchiha Yuzuru stood on the Hokage Rock of Senju Tobirama, raised his hands and stretched.

This outcome was within his expectations.

But haste makes waste; the real show is just beginning.

He will make these ungrateful Konoha villagers repent for their actions in despair, and he will also cause Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and others to be abandoned by their followers and ruined in disgrace.

He wants to reclaim everything that originally belonged to the Uchiha clan, and slaughter the Sarutobi, Shimura, Mitokado, and Utatane clans just like the Uchiha clan in the original story.

That day is not far away.

Uchiha Yuzuru snorted coldly and immediately activated Kamui, disappearing from the spot.

Uchiha Yuzuru had just returned when he was pulled into the Raikage's office by Ezra.

Inside the office, the Third Raikage, Sakumo Hatake, Fugaku Uchiha, Makoto Azabu, and Tsuchida were all present.

Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru, they asked curiously, "Yuzuru, how was the thank-you letter? What were the expressions of those Konoha bastards after they saw it?"

Seeing the expectant expressions on their faces, Uchiha Yuzuru recounted the whole story of how the villagers of Konoha were furious and impotent.

After hearing this, the Third Raikage and the others burst into laughter.

"That's really interesting. This is the kind of thing you should do to deal with bastards like that."

"Seeing them suffer and regret their lives getting worse is more satisfying than killing them."

"I wonder if Hiruzen Sarutobi will be on the battlefield next time. I've been wanting to test my skills against the strongest Hokage for a long time."

Hearing the laughter and chatter of the crowd, Uchiha Yuzuru waved his hand and said, "Alright, Third Hokage, you didn't call me here just to hear this gossip, did you?"

The Third Raikage nodded and smiled, "Yuzuru, I have some good news to tell you."

"The Sand Village has agreed to your request. They have already sent a bloodline limit ninja to our Cloud Village."

Chapter 78 Who did Sunagakure send this to?

After the Third Raikage finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.

Back in the day, their village went to great lengths to cheat and swindle in order to obtain a bloodline limit ninja.

This cost many elite ninjas their lives.

But in the end, all that effort yielded no results.

Now, after they told Sunagakure about their request, the village immediately agreed.

That's the advantage of being powerful.

If it weren't for Yuzuru Uchiha's immense power, things would never have progressed so smoothly.

First, they acquired the Uchiha clan, and then they acquired the Blood Pond clan.

Now they've obtained another bloodline limit ninja from Sunagakure.

The Third Raikage had a premonition that their Hidden Cloud Village would never lack bloodline limits again.

"Third Hokage, where is that ninja now? I'd like to go and take a look."

A smile appeared on Uchiha Yuzuru's face.

An image of a ninja with a smooth, beautiful back unconsciously appeared in his mind.

It should be Yekura, right?

After all, Sunagakure can't just send Rasa over, can it?

"I've assigned that ninja to your Uchiha clan. She should be with Kushina Uzumaki now."

"Okay, I see."

Uchiha Yuzuru turned and left the Raikage's office.
