"Hiruzen-sama, you must be kidding!"
"As the staunch guardians of the Will of Fire, the Sarutobi clan will never betray the village under any circumstances!"
At this moment, although Sarutobi Koji's posture in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen was still respectful, a strange indifference shone in his eyes, as if he was looking at a good-for-nothing loser with Alzheimer's disease.
What a joke!
Sarutobi Hiruzen, are you so stupid?
Constantly suppressing the desire to tremble in his body and suppressing the urge to yell, Sarutobi Koji turned his body slightly at this moment and exchanged a look with the tribesmen who also had strange eyes at this moment.
Check your eyes!
They are all people who don’t want to leave!
If we move the timeline forward two months, and with the power of Sarutobi Hiruzen in Konoha and the family, he can say these words about leaving Konoha...
Maybe, maybe, should, probably... there's a slight possibility... someone will actually follow...
But now after this series of changes...
What a joke!
It's not entirely because of Sarutobi Hiruzen's recent poor performance. After all, although Sarutobi Hiruzen was suppressed and humiliated by Uchiha Jhin, he still has a very high prestige in the family due to his years of accumulated power.
The most important point is also the simplest point, that is...
Benefit!
Thinking of the reason why he and his clan members clung to the front line and lived in bloody battles with Kumogakure ninjas every day, wasn't it just to protect the wealth that he and his clan members had accumulated over the years?
Perhaps this term was not taken seriously by the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan at the beginning.
But it wasn't until the time when the Sarutobi clan needed to move their clan, and when they were packing all kinds of luggage, belongings and some real estate, that they suddenly looked back and realized that they had unknowingly owned so many things that they couldn't break away from Konoha. industry.
Especially because during the relocation process of the clan, the assets that could have been owned by 'default' were stripped back to the ownership of the Hokage Building.
The Sarutobi clan, who had suffered heavy losses, naturally could not give up their only and huge 'legal' assets no matter what.
Um!
A huge asset that would make most of the ninja clan in the ninja world moved!
Especially after Uchiha Jhin blatantly took over the Land of Fire, this asset must have unimaginable growth potential in the future.
at this point.
From the rich people gathered from all over the Fire Country, it is not difficult to see that Konoha Village will become the de facto center of the Fire Country.
Once the war between Konoha and Kumogakure is fully victorious, Konoha will surely become the center of power in the entire ninja world in the future.
Even though they have suffered some losses due to moving away from their clan, they can foresee that their future will be even better.
but.
Once the Sarutobi clan chooses to leave Konoha, the most they can retain are some liquid assets, and some assets that are difficult to monetize cannot be sold in a short time.
It would be an unimaginable miracle to maintain one-tenth of the original wealth after leaving Konoha.
And after leaving Konoha!
Although the Sarutobi clan seems to be far away from the front line, they have also completely lost the protection of Konoha's tiger skin.
For the Sarutobi clan, which has always been protected by Hiruzen Sarutobi and has accumulated thousands of elite ninjas, no one knows the importance of safety to them better than them.
In the past few decades, the good life of "pampering" will turn into a difficult decision surrounded by wolves in the next moment. Following Hiruzen Sarutobi, the young "Ninja", he will work hard all over again.
Isn't this just a joke?
It's safe...
Just a local war with Kumogakure was enough for the Sarutobi ninjas to clearly realize that they could not protect their Sarutobi clan in the ninja world with just a nominal 'strongest Hokage'.
so!
Why?
The mistake made by Sarutobi Hiruzen will affect the entire Sarutobi clan!
Why should the conscientious Sarutobi clan pay for the past mistakes of Sarutobi Hiruzen!
I don’t know if it’s because Hiruzen Sarutobi has been in a high position for so long that he defaults to taking many things for granted.
but it is not the truth!
The ninjas of the Sarutobi clan are not fools. Naturally, they know that Uchiha Jhin's biggest target is Sarutobi Hiruzen who once oppressed Uchiha.
As for the Sarutobi clan...
Although there is no way to be certain about this, in the face of such powerful men, we can only have the last bit of luck!
And the character of the Uchiha clan should not be...
But just as Sarutobi Hiruzen and all the Sarutobi tribesmen fell into an awkward silence, Mitomon Hayata, who was not far from Sarutobi Koji, suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face. .
but……
As Sarutobi Koji and all the tribesmen looked at him with doubts, Mitomon Hayata smiled awkwardly, and then suddenly shouted loudly at the tribesmen behind him.
"The patriarch has an order!"
"All the Mitomon Clan are included, and they will all be incorporated into the forward troops under the Hokage. Anyone who follows Sarutobi Hiruzen and rebels against the village will be expelled from the Mitomon Clan immediately!"
Uh-huh!
If they heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's words earlier, the Mitomon clan and the Tensho clan could not hide their disappointment on their faces, and there was a sense of sadness that they had to be forced to defect.
So at this moment, Mitomon Hayata's words are like a glass of ice cream in summer, which is as refreshing as cooling your heart.
Although it was just a simple sentence, it conveyed an extremely crucial message.
That is, the Mitomon clan, who were originally brothers and sisters with them, were now accepted by the new Hokage for the first time!
He also said, "Those who rebel against the village along with Sarutobi will be immediately expelled from the Mitomon clan." Doesn't this express the complete break between the Mitomon clan and Sarutobi?
As for the reason for this.
Except for those bloodline ninja clans that are full of geniuses, those who have been able to practice to the level they are now, ordinary chunin and jounin, are naturally unique in intelligence analysis.
Therefore, it is not difficult to determine what Mitomon Yan did to make the Mitomon clan fully accepted by the village.
This also further proves their previous suspicions, that is, Uchiha Jhin, the fifth generation Hokage, is actually targeting Sarutobi Hiruzen personally, whether he is a member of the Sarutobi clan or the transfer clan, they all only want to target him. It's just a fish in the pond that has been affected.
"Clan leader..."
Seemingly because of Mitomon Shuta's actions, Takahiro Takahiro, who was waiting anxiously on the side, finally couldn't bear it any longer, and hurriedly stepped forward, looked at Koharu expectantly, and spoke.
"Should we also follow the Mitomon clan to evacuate..."
At this moment, Takakan Takakan couldn't care less about Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was looking extremely ugly. He didn't even want to hear any bad news from Takaharu Koharu. Expectations and 'unquestionable' eyes.
"this……"
Koharu Tanzania didn't know what this meant, but compared to Mito Kadoba who was always shrinking behind him, Koharu Tanzania always took advantage of his age and gender to charge forward.
now.
Even she regretted it as much as Mito Kadoen. Thinking about Uchiha Jin's character, she couldn't accept it, so at this moment she could only lower her head in silence.
This can't go on like this!
As the clan members gathered around him, Sarutobi Koji finally realized the seriousness of the problem. After exchanging glances with the clan members behind him, he solemnly came to Sarutobi Hiruzen again.
Snapped!
With his shiny forehead and the earth making a crisp sound, Sarutobi Koji knelt down in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen in an extremely standard "Dogita seat".
"Clan leader, the Sarutobi clan's ninja will never betray Konoha. For the sake of the Sarutobi clan's century-old reputation...you...can you..."
"Please Hokage-sama!"
…
I'm so sorry. Although the symptoms this time are not as severe as last December, I can't really type in that state. However, I was basically fine after getting up on Friday. I just feel a little uncomfortable after being off for a while. I will return to normal as soon as possible. Updated, thank you all for your support.
