What!
How could you do this!
I'm doing this all for Konoha, and I won't hesitate to bear the humiliation and bear the burden to preserve my strength!
The most important thing was to preserve the future of the Sarutobi clan and the clansmen whose blood was thicker than water standing in front of him at the moment, so he made such an extremely difficult decision against his will.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's rickety body suddenly trembled at this moment, and his eyes looking at the people in front of him were full of disbelief, as if the world had suddenly changed into the illusion that things were right and people were different.
Betrayed!
Completely betrayed by his tribesmen whom he had never had the slightest suspicion of before!
Maybe he was still immersed in the glory of the past and couldn't help himself, but after the cold water was poured down before, how could Sarutobi Hiruzen not see what the situation in front of him represented now.
Yes!
Although Koji Sarutobi talks nicely, his standard 'Toshita-za' posture is also extremely respectful, which perfectly reflects the results of the elite education of the Sarutobi clan.
But in front of this face that felt both familiar and unfamiliar to him, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart felt as if he had fallen into an abyss, and a deep feeling of powerlessness and sadness could not help but surge into his heart.
"Go and ask for Uchiha Jhin?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but smile, but this smile was uglier than crying.
"yes!"
Sarutobi Koji seemed to have completely 'attentioned' to Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression at this moment. Instead, he seemed to have heard this obvious question sentence as a statement context, and a hint of flattery suddenly appeared on his shiny face.
"We, the Sarutobi clan, have always dedicated ourselves to Konoha. Now we just have a slight misunderstanding with U...Hokage-sama. If Hiruzen-sama can explain it in words, the misunderstanding will definitely be resolved!"
The smile on Sarutobi Koji's face became more and more excited as he spoke, seeming to have full confidence in his wise decision.
certainly.
With an inexplicable and terrifying tremor, Sarutobi Koji finally seemed to realize that he seemed to be dancing on the tip of another knife at this moment.
However, due to the inherent impression accumulated over the years, Sarutobi Koji still felt an inexplicable sense of courage in his heart for this old man who had always protected his family and clan leader.
"The centuries-old reputation of the Sarutobi clan must not be destroyed in our hands. How could we choose to escape when Konoha is in the most critical moment!"
Sarutobi Koji's face was full of righteousness at this moment, as if he was ready to give his heart to Konoha at any time.
But the next moment.
"What's more!"
The awe-inspiring look on Sarutobi Koji's face instantly collapsed, and he moved closer to Sarutobi Hiruzen and continued to speak.
"With Uchiha's character... Hiruzen-sama may not have a chance in the future... So please bear with me for now and wait for the future..."
Sarutobi Koji's words were intermittent, but his slightly clenched fist made slight gestures in the direction of the Hokage's camp.
With such poor acting skills and a plan full of flaws, how could Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been in power for many years, be deceived so easily.
Nonsense!
It would be okay if the target of Sarutobi Koji's plan, which is full of mistakes, is Danzo, but what if the target is Uchiha Jin?
What a joke!
Ever since Hiruzen Sarutobi announced in public that he would lead the Sarutobi clan to evacuate, it can be said that there is no place for him in Konoha today.
Especially now that he is facing Uchiha Jhin!
After experiencing several confrontations during this period, Hiruzen Sarutobi had a somewhat clear idea of Uchiha Jhin's character traits.
Although the growth experience of this new Uchiha Shura is completely different from that of the original ninja Shura, Uchiha Jhin and Uchiha Madara have almost the same thing in common.
That's Uchiha!
Power first, confidence and arrogance!
Although Uchiha Jhin's behavior is completely different from Uchiha Madara's, the arrogance derived from blood and bone marrow is completely the same.
If it were any Kage of a Village in the ninja world, faced with the defection of a large ninja clan leader in the village, he would most likely choose to compromise if there was a chance of recovery.
But Uchiha Jin won't!
On the contrary, Uchiha Jin was looking forward to this situation extremely.
This extremely arrogant guy didn't take the Sarutobi clan seriously at all. He simply wanted to find an excuse to expel the Sarutobi clan, and then come back to settle the accounts after settling the matter of the Ninja World War.
so.
The words that asked Sarutobi Hiruzen to beg Uchiha Jhin were clearly meant to push him towards a dead end.
Only by waiting for the entire Konoha to experience a catastrophe and for Hiruzen Sarutobi to appear as a savior can he possibly be able to turn things around.
At the same time, it was only at that time that Hiruzen Sarutobi could arrogantly point at those high-ranking ninjas who had betrayed him and cursed.
You are all a bunch of blind bitches. In the end, you are not going to rely on me, the strongest Hokage, to take charge of the overall situation!
This was the only reason that allowed him to keep going, but this most beautiful plan in his ideals had not yet begun to be implemented. This completely unexpected change in front of him completely confused Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Are you still human?
And the one who felt the same as Sarutobi Hiruzen at this moment, and even added a hint of regret on top of it, was naturally Koharu who was also surrounded by his tribe at this moment.
The dusk is dim and the setting sun is like blood.
The autumn breeze with a hint of coolness blew slowly by, and the strong and healthy ninjas had three completely different feelings at this moment.
The uncontrollable joy naturally came from the Mitomon clan. While silently distancing themselves from the Sarutobi clan camp, they suppressed the urge to raise the corners of their mouths.
The most dignified one is naturally the Sarutobi clan, all members of the "Dogeza" clan at this moment. With such a tragic posture, it is difficult not to make people wonder if they are going to commit seppuku collectively.
The one with the most complex and intense emotions at this moment is the Tenden clan. After all, after having the classic reference of the Mitomon clan, they naturally place all their hopes on Tenden Koharu at this moment.
The Mitomon clan can betray, why can't we transfer to another clan? Why should we escape in embarrassment with a loser like Sarutobi Hiruzen!
But as the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the despair.
A group of uneasy and uneasy members of the transfer clan cast their extravagant gazes on their clan leader. However, transfer transfer Koharu, who understood that he had no way out, silently walked to Sarutobi Hiruzen and then lowered his head, trying to use Use silence to express your choice.
"Clan leader!"
A jounin from the transfer clan was a little unwilling to let out a low roar at the transfer Koharu, trying to find a way to save the situation from the other party.
But at this moment, the response to these sleeping clan members was still the silence of Xiaochun sleeping, staring at the ground, until...
Bang! Bang!
As two thick plumes of smoke dissipated, two fleeting figures instantly attracted everyone's attention. Everyone, who was already extremely nervous because of the situation, instantly became alert.
"Uchiha!"
Looking at the iconic flame ball fan badge, everyone in the audience became more and more nervous at this moment. Could it be that Uchiha chose to deal with them here.
This kind of crazy conjecture may be fanciful to others, but thinking of the Fifth Generation Hokage who has always been unpredictable, all the Sarutobi and the Tensho clan members couldn't help but secretly hold the kunai.
As for Yu Yuan and Tunan, who were standing proudly in front of everyone, there was no trace of panic on their faces at this moment. Instead, they glanced at the people in front of them with a kind of disdain and contempt.
"By the order of the Fifth Hokage, all personnel who defected with Sarutobi Hiruzen are ordered to evacuate a hundred miles from the Konoha camp before sunrise. Anyone who overstays their welcome will be shot to death!"
The murderous words seemed to chill the air, causing everyone present to tremble slightly.
Only Mitomon Hayata suddenly realized that his group seemed to have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. He immediately let go of the kunai he was secretly holding and walked forward eagerly.
"Master Hahara, under the order of the clan leader, shall we follow the two of you to the camp?"
Facing Mitomon Hayata's sudden change of expression, Uchiha Hahara showed a trace of obvious disgust on his face, but out of adherence to his own duties, he still said in a deep voice with some disgust at this moment.
"Konoha has no laws that implicate the clan members. Those who are unwilling to follow Hiruzen Sarutobi and rebel against the village should report to the forward troops immediately!"
"Yes! Yes! Let's leave now!"
Although Uchiha Hahara's words were extremely rude, Mitomon Hayata was a little ecstatic at this moment, and immediately called the clan members to prepare for their evacuation.
"Hunta!"
Facing the sudden scene, Sarutobi Koji, who originally felt that he still had a little time, immediately panicked.
At this moment, he couldn't care less about continuing to plead with Sarutobi Hiruzen to surrender to Uchiha Jin. When he saw the Mitomon clan beginning to mobilize for evacuation, a flash of light suddenly shot straight into the sky.
Not willing to follow Sarutobi Hiruzen to rebel against the village?
Sarutobi Koji felt that everything in front of him was beginning to slow down at this moment, and then quickly returned to its normal state, and his body involuntarily turned and knelt in the direction of Uchiha Hahara.
"I, Koji Sarutobi, am loyal to Konoha and will never follow anyone to betray Konoha!"
If Sarutobi Koji's gesture wasn't a bit wasteful at this moment, his words of righteousness and sacrifice of life for righteousness would have some credibility.
"this……"
The corners of Uchiha Hahara's mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he didn't react for a while.
Say it according to your heart.
Of course, Uchiha Hahara hopes that these people in front of him will get away as far as possible. He has followed Uchiha Jin to this moment and he is more confident than ever at this moment.
The Uchiha clan is invincible!
Aren't they just a few little ninjas...
After the great Uchiha Fifth Generation Hokage overwhelms the ninja world, it will not be easy to deal with these clowns.
The mission of Uchiha Hahara and Uchiha Tunan during this trip was to expel these unsightly guys as soon as possible and solidify the betrayal between the Sarutobi clan and the Tensho clan.
The main focus is just one, Uchiha is justified!
But what is the situation in front of him? Under Uchiha Hahara's stern face, his restless heart has already collapsed.
No one told him how to handle this situation!
Why don't you just get out of here and get out of here? Why do you think you are going to betray me in front of yourself now? Do you think I will believe you so easily?
It's just that although Uchiha Hahara wanted to kick Sarutobi Koji away in front of him, as a serious Uchiha tribesman, especially at this moment, he was also serving as the frontline commander's escort and messenger.
At this moment, Uchiha Hahara suddenly remembered the order he had just announced, which was to expel the guys who followed Sarutobi Hiruzen and Koharu who were sleeping with him.
But at this moment, Sarutobi Koji's attitude cannot be regarded as following Sarutobi Hiruzen...
thus.
Although Uchiha Hahara deeply despised Koji Sarutobi's cowardly attitude, out of respect for his own responsibilities, he still said it coldly at this moment.
"Report to the forward troops!"
"yes!"
There was an inexplicable surprise on Sarutobi Koji's face. Randomly had no intention of continuing to greet Sarutobi Hiruzen, and immediately called the tribesmen behind him to move in the direction of the forward troops.
"Hiruzen-sama, I'm sorry!"
A jounin of the Sarutobi clan looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitantly at this moment, but the next moment he turned around firmly and caught up with Koji Sarutobi.
As more and more Mito and Sarutobi tribesmen left, the Tenden clan and Tenden Koharu, who were now anxious, could no longer sit still.
"Sorry, Master Koharu!"
The speech of the transferred jonin seemed to be a signal, and immediately more than ten ninjas from the transferred clan followed in Sarutobi Koji's footsteps.
Tap~tap~tap~tap~
Following a series of panicked and hurried footsteps, the originally crowded playground suddenly became much emptier.
The only ones left at this moment were the slightly confused Uchiha Hahara and Uchiha Tunan, as well as Sarutobi Hiruzen and Koharu who had transferred to the dormitory, and there were only a few jounin left behind who were in the early single digits.
Um……
After all, he has been in a high position for so many years. Although the power in the past has been used to control talents from outside the clan, there are still some die-hard loyalists within the clan.
But feeling the desolation of being completely abandoned by most of the tribe made Sarutobi Hiruzen unable to feel happy at this moment.
Uh-huh!
After Uchiha Hahara reacted, he did not feel any pity for Sarutobi Hiruzen. Instead, he indifferently threw a kunai in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Please leave Konoha's camp immediately, you are not welcome in Uchiha's Konoha!"
"Uchiha's Konoha..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed miserably, and the frustration of such a complete defeat made his breathing a little uneasy at the moment.
He turned around and glanced at Xiaochun who was sleeping next to him, and a feeling of relief suddenly came to his heart!
"Haru-chan, it's good to have you!"
"Hiruzhan, I believe you can do it!"
Koharu's face was slightly stiff when he went to bed, but at this moment he still decisively took a step closer and supported Sarutobi Hiruzen who seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
Just when Koharu turned to bed and looked back at the departing tribesmen, she vaguely seemed to see the proud and shameless figure of Mito Kadoyan, but a flash of light flashed in her dead-fish-like presbyopic eyes. Deep regret.
I'm so stupid, really...
…
There are many reasons, but they are all excuses, and I can’t guarantee anything. I’m sorry to all readers...
