Faced with Uchiha Yoru's eloquent arguments, Hiruzen Sarutobi calmly uttered only one sentence, which immediately caused everyone present to change their expressions drastically.

"Since the Uchiha Clan Head elders believe I am targeting the Uchiha Clan, or even the Konoha Military Police Force clan, then I admit it! But all of this is for the safety of the village. After all, I don't think any Konoha Ninja wants to experience the Nine-Tails Night again!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi struck at the heart of the matter, stating that the crime of the Nine-Tails Night could not be cleared up in a single day, Konoha would remain wary and cautious of the Uchiha Clan no matter how many Hokage were replaced.

Sure enough, as soon as the Third Hokage brought up this topic, everyone's expression changed instantly.

However, Uchiha Yoru calmly looked at everyone, "The Uchiha Clan has been secretly investigating the Nine-Tails Night incident. I wonder if the Third Hokage has found anything? Or how many Spy have you planted in the Konoha Military Police Force?"

With two consecutive questions, Uchiha Yoru stared intently at the Third Hokage, and everyone's expressions immediately turned serious.

Even Jiraiya noticed something was amiss and lowered his voice, saying, "Tsunade, Konoha can't withstand any more turmoil. The old man has indeed gone too far, but the village cannot endure civil war!"

Facing Jiraiya, Tsunade scoffed disdainfully, "I know, our purpose in returning is to stop the civil war, but let's see what these old guys have done first."

"Me!" Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd. Under everyone's gaze, a purple-haired figure slowly appeared in their sight, raising his arm high.

Konoha's Special Jonin Uzuki Yugao, is currently a high-ranking member of the Konoha Military Police Force, though there are some unpleasant rumors surrounding her.

However, this time, when Uzuki Yugao stepped forward, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, couldn't help but frown, take a deep drag of his cigarette, and a look of disappointment involuntarily appeared in his eyes. As expected, they had betrayed him.

"My Uzuki Yugao. After graduation, I was assigned by former Anbu Captain Ume Sarutobi to work as Spy for Uchiha Yoru in the Konoha Military Police Force, investigating all of Uchiha Yoru's violations."

An uproar erupted as countless people stared at Uzuki Yugao, who had stepped forward, and immediately admitted to being Spy. It's well known that Spy usually target outsiders, but this time they were targeting their own people.

"Yūhi Kurenai, acting on the orders of the Third Hokage, approached Uchiha Yoru posing as a classmate, while simultaneously investigating the Konoha Military Police Force..."

As one figure after another stepped forward, everyone's expressions as they looked at the Third were no longer so innocent. After all, monitoring fellow villagers was indeed going too far, and the timing of their actions was completely off.

The surveillance began several years ago; in other words, in terms of time, it was more accurate to say that they were monitoring Orochimaru.

Faced with all these accusations, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag of his cigarette, raised his head, and looked at Uchiha Yoru with his cloudy eyes. His expression was resolute: the Uchiha could not be allowed to live!

"Today! Taking advantage of the Jonin Meeting, in my capacity as the Uchiha Clan Head, the Konoha Military Police Force chief, and Konoha Jonin, I formally impeach the Third and his corrupt regime!"

"Presumptuous!"

"How dare you!"

Uchiha Yoru suddenly changed the subject, and in that instant, three Shimura Danzō Konoha High Command, Mitokado Homura Danzo, and Utatane Koharu, glared angrily at him.

They dedicated their lives to Konoha, and now someone is impeaching them. Isn't that negating their entire lives?

Faced with this public impeachment, Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled calmly. In his eyes, it was Jiraiya and Tsunade's return that had driven the other side to desperation.

"I have naturally dedicated my life to the village. If you wish to impeach me, then please produce the evidence."

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi was old at this moment, he gradually exuded a powerful aura in the face of impeachment, and his cloudy eyes revealed a firm look as he stared straight at Uchiha Yoru as if questioning him.

"Otherwise, Uchiha Yoru, Jōnin are arbitrarily impeaching the Hokage with the intention of creating chaos. Regardless of your status as the head of the Konoha Military Police Force or the head of the Uchiha Clan Head, these are not grounds for you to act recklessly!"

Facing the Hokage Faction, Uchiha Yoru sneered, "Since we've come this far, aren't you old fogies always bringing up the Nine-Tails?"

"For so many years, my Uchiha Clan has been secretly investigating to clear our names of this crime."

As he said this, Uchiha Yoru's figure suddenly flashed, and in an instant Jiraiya couldn't help but glare angrily at the Jonin Meeting.

"Presumptuous!"

However, the next moment, Jiraiya's face darkened, for a green figure had appeared in front of him—it was Might Guy.

At this moment, Might Guy, dressed in green, blocked his way, while Hatake Kakashi Sharingan, stood behind him. The two of them attacked from the front and back, which shocked Jiraiya and made him even angrier.

"Lord Jiraiya, please calm down!"

Behind Hatake Kakashi revealed his Sharingan, which, amidst its frenzied spinning, transformed into a Mangekyo Sharingan right before everyone's eyes. Meanwhile, Might Guy, standing directly in front of him, had a resolute expression and a determined look in his eyes, clearly indicating that he would open the Eight Gates at the slightest provocation.

"Lord Jiraiya, I apologize for my intrusion."

Jiraiya was almost stunned with anger at this moment. He had only been gone for a few years, and the village had changed so much?

However, the scene on the other side caused all the Jōnin to change color.

"Pfft!"

Amidst the splattering blood, two figures emerged. Uchiha Yoru, his eyes gleaming with a crimson Mangekyou Mangekyo, glanced sideways at everyone, his Kusanagi Sword slowly sheathing itself.

However, there was another figure directly in front of him, none other than Uchiha Shisui. Shockingly, he had extracted an eyeball from his two bloodied fingers. More importantly, his eyes were now bloodshot, Mangekyō Sharingan!

"Ah!"

A scream rang out, instantly causing all the Jōnin in the Jonin Meeting room to change their expressions drastically. Countless Jōnin drew their weapons, and an Armed Coup was about to begin!

However, thanks to the ninjas' keen observation, everyone's expression changed drastically the next moment, especially the Third Hokage's side. One of them stared at the scene with a pale face, and even the usually composed Hiruzen Sarutobi turned deathly pale in an instant.

As Shimura Danzō sat upright, he screamed as one of his arms and one of his eyes were cut off and plucked out by Uchiha Yoru and Shisui, respectively. Despite his agonizing screams, his body remained stiff and unable to move.

Sealing Jutsu: Self-Exerting Curse Binding Seal

"This is the Mangekyō Sharingan!" After swiftly removing Shimura Danzō's eyeball, Uchiha Shisui glared angrily at everyone, raising the bloodied eyeball high in his hand and roaring hoarsely.

It was as if at this moment Uchiha Shisui was venting the pent-up frustration of the Uchiha having suffered so many years of injustice.

"Clang!"

However, the next moment, the bandaged arm was revealed, the golden metal shackles were removed, and as the bandages were untied, a pale white arm and those hideous Red Eye were exposed.

"This!"

This shocking scene sent chills down the spines of countless Jōnin, and even many ninjas stared in horror at the once-powerful Konoha F4.

"Danzo!" Tsunade couldn't help but roar when she witnessed it all. In her anger, she smashed the table in front of her with a punch and glared at the Konoha High Command.

"Tsunade!"

"Shut up! Jiraiya!" Tsunade was furious as she glared at everyone, and her anger intensified when she saw the arm in Uchiha Yoru's hand.

"Old Sarutobi! I need an explanation! Why are my grandfather's Wood Style Cells in Danzo?!"

The powerful aura emanating from the Sannin, especially Tsunade who hadn't become decadent in recent years but instead had undergone regular training, caused her surging and powerful Chakra to instantly emerge.

Uchiha Yoru, who was holding that disgusting arm, sneered, "Lord Jiraiya, do you dare say that all of this is Genjutsu? Is it all fake?"

"Based on Uchiha clan's investigations over the years, the mysterious person who appeared on the Nine-Tails Night not only manipulated the Nine-Tails using the Sharingan, but also possessed Wood Style Cells. The Sharingan has been a scapegoat for the Uchiha Clan for so many years, so what about the Wood Style Cells now!"

"A suspect who possesses both the Sharingan and Wood Release, and who can manipulate the Nine-Tails' Rampage, seems to have a stronger suspicion on our Third Hokage!"

As Uchiha Yoru's voice rang out powerfully, the Uchiha Clan in the Jonin Meeting room angrily opened their Sharingan and roared, "Clan Leader! Give the order! Even if Konoha is devastated! Even if the Uchiha is wiped out, the Uchiha Clan will never abandon its pride!"

"Hooray! For the Uchiha!"

Stealing Kekkei Genkai is already a matter of life and death, and this scene was even witnessed by someone from the same village, and a high-ranking one at that. In an instant, the rationality of the Uchiha Clan was completely shattered.

"Lady Tsunade, as the founder of Konoha, I, as the head of the Uchiha Clan Head Senju Clan, formally invite you to be my witness! The current Third Hokage is no longer qualified to lead Konoha! And the current Konoha High Command is even less qualified!"

As Uchiha Yoru's voice fell to the ground, the ninjas he had summoned instantly sprang into action, each brandishing their bladed weapons.

Coup!

Upon witnessing this moment, Jiraiya was shocked. He felt his hands and feet turn cold, especially seeing the panicked looks in the eyes of the other Jōnin. It was clear that their morale had collapsed.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat. His years of experience Shinobi Hero meant that in this desperate situation, his first thought was not to question Danzo, but to force himself to calm down.

Looking at the pale arm in her hand, Tsunade took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice to everyone, "All Konoha ninja, listen up! Anbu and Root, stand by! Anyone who makes a move will be executed without exception as a traitor to the village!"

"Send a signal simultaneously: Konoha is under complete lockdown! All merchants, ninjas, Summoning Beast are allowed to enter but not leave!"

Coup! Seizure of power!

That was the only thing on everyone's mind. However, Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the longest-serving Hokage, made the right decision immediately.

Danzo! You!

The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi his fist on the table in fury, his eyes blazing with rage, and roared, "Tsunade, you're now in charge of Root, Jiraiya, you're in charge of Anbu! Konoha absolutely cannot afford any trouble! You must thoroughly investigate and find the real culprit!"

Swish!

Shimura Danzō sealed and imprisoned by members of the Uchiha, and even advisors Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were Jōnin from the Konoha Military Police Force.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Uchiha Yoru coldly retorted, "The Konoha Military Police Force is responsible for the village's security. Now I have sufficient reason to suspect that the village's higher-ups have arbitrarily seized the Kekkei Genkai of a fellow villager. This alone is enough to prove that the three advisors are suspected of betraying the village! I'm even starting to suspect you, Third Hokage!"

"Uchiha Yoru! Aren't you worried about the village already being in turmoil enough?"

At that moment Jiraiya hurriedly stepped forward, staring intently at Uchiha Yoru, and said in a low, deep voice, "Are you really going to wait until the village civil war breaks out before you give up?!"

However, in the face of Jiraiya's threat, Uchiha Yoru sneered contemptuously, "If it weren't for the clues I've gathered over the years of investigation, what would my fate be today, Lord Jiraiya?"

Faced with Uchiha Yoru's questioning, Jiraiya's expression stiffened. He couldn't help but look at Tsunade face was now even more ashen.

"Lady Tsunade, how is it!" Facing Uchiha Yoru, Tsunade gave a cold snort, looked around at everyone, and directly shouted in a deep voice, "The Konoha Military Police Force is responsible for taking over the security of the village. Root members, stand by on Root spot. Anyone who moves without authorization will be killed without exception! Anbu, be on high alert. Jiraiya is Jiraiya in charge."

"At the same time, the village is on high alert, and all ninjas within the village are on standby at home. Anyone who causes chaos or disturbance will be killed!"

As expected of a woman destined to become the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade's calm and collected decrees were perfectly timed, and the three major military branches are now under the control of the three of them.

However, a cold glint appeared in Uchiha Yoru's eyes as he coldly shouted, "The Nine-Tails' Rampage was clearly a frame-up against the Uchiha Clan! After all these years, we must not only investigate, but investigate to the very end! Anyone who dares to obstruct the Konoha Military Police Force's investigation is an enemy!"

"At the same time, I also want to sue the current Third Hokage!"

"You!" Jiraiya's eyes widened, as if to say, "You really think things aren't serious enough?"

However, Uchiha Yoru sneered. Since Hiruzen Sarutobi had chosen to make a move, he would also strike back with lightning speed. There was no room for mercy in political struggles. If they were going to fight, they would fight until the other side was completely exhausted.

"I now even suspect that the whole thing about Hiruzen Sarutobi becoming the Third Hokage after returning from the Land of Lightning was a lie! It was all just the ambition of these people!"

As Uchiha Yoru's voice echoed, many Jōnin still shocked that so many Mangekyo had broken out today, not to mention the numerous Mangekyou Sharingan users.

Even Jiraiya stared at Uchiha Yoru in shock, his hands and feet turning ice-cold. Beside him stood Uchiha Shisui Mangekyo, and Hatake Kakashi, who also had a single Mangekyo. Damn it! What happened? Old man, is this what you meant by "suppressing the Uchiha"?

That's it? You press it like this?

Shimura Danzō brought all those Sharingan and Wood Style Cells up here in front of so many people! And he was discovered! Damn it, now the Uchiha even whiter than all of you.

Who would dare say that the Uchiha Clan is suspected of manipulating the Nine-Tails?

The so-called Dark Lord of the Shinobi World remained silent. Under this sudden turn of events, no one expected Uchiha Yoru to be so bold as to make a move in the conference room.

The result was that they were directly sealed away! Even the so-called Konoha High Command, and now the entire Konoha Ninja, are beginning to doubt whether this is truly their leadership.

I tried my best to write each chapter well, and I thank all my brothers for their support.
