Things the Hokage Wouldn't Manage, That We Security Force Will

As Bai Ye was beating Danzo soundly, Konoha ninjas who received the emergency summons signal arrived one after another from afar.

Seeing the fight here, all the Konoha ninjas were completely bewildered.

"What's going on?..."

"Who is the Uchiha Clan fighting?!..."

"Is this really an attack?!..."

"Why does it look like the Uchiha Clan has the upper hand..."

"Who are these people?! Wearing masks, are they Anbu?!..."

"Anbu attacking the Uchiha Clan?!..."

"..."

These Konoha ninjas couldn't help but be confused.

Because the members of the Root Organization hid in the shadows, even when they acted, their identities were concealed.

Therefore, not many people knew about the existence of Root within Konohagakure.

"Konoha ninjas, I am Konoha Elder Danzo!..."

"Attack the Uchiha Clan immediately, the Uchiha Clan has betrayed Konohagakure..."

Danzo, who was being chased by Bai Ye and fleeing in disarray, looked at the Konoha ninjas around him and shouted loudly.

"Hmph, it is you who betrayed Konohagakure..."

"You dare bring people to attack the Security Force? By the Will of Fire, eliminate these rogue ninjas..."

Bai Ye continued to grip his Ninja Sword and attack Danzo.

Hearing the words of Bai Ye and Danzo, the surrounding Konoha ninjas became even more bewildered.

Now, they also couldn't figure out what was happening here.

On one side was the Uchiha Clan, representing the Security Force.

On the other side was Shimura Danzō, representing the Konoha higher-ups.

They didn't know who to listen to.

So, these Konoha ninjas all stopped in place, and no one moved.

Neither the Uchiha Clan nor Shimura Danzō were people they could afford to offend.

In fact, some who wanted to join the fight were stopped by their companions.

Just then, Hiruzen Sarutobi also arrived with the Anbu.

Seeing the fierce battle here, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also very surprised.

What was Danzo up to?

Didn't he bring people to rescue someone?! Why was he engaging in a fierce battle with the Uchiha Clan?

And he looked so pathetic, being chased.

But no matter what, the fighting couldn't continue.

"Everyone, stop!..."

Upon seeing the arrival of Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, the Uchiha Clan ninjas and the Root Organization ninjas all stopped fighting.

However, Bai Ye still had no intention of stopping.

Instead, he launched an even fiercer attack towards Shimura Danzō.

Before Danzō could react, Bai Ye caught up to him and swung his Ninja Sword fiercely at Danzō.

"Riiip!... Ah..."

With a tearing sound and a scream, Shimura Danzō's right arm was directly severed.

Immediately after, Bai Ye delivered a powerful kick.

The severely injured Shimura Danzō was sent flying backward, landing right in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"How dare you! Uchiha Byakuya, what are you doing?!..."

Seeing that Bai Ye completely disregarded his orders and instead severely injured Danzō, Hiruzen Sarutobi roared in anger.

[Ding, sensed Hiruzen Sarutobi's anger, +500 Negative Energy, obtained Fire Style - Fire Dragon Flame Bullet...]

As Hiruzen Sarutobi raged, the surrounding Anbu also charged forward, gripping their weapons and looking at Bai Ye warily.

"Hmph, Third Hokage, this is the question I should be asking you..."

"I am executing a rogue ninja, and yet the Hokage intends to harbor a rogue ninja..."

"Does the Hokage intend to betray Konohagakure!? Betray the Will of Fire!?..."

Bai Ye looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and questioned him loudly.

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi nearly choked on his breath.

Betraying the village, betraying the Will of Fire, wasn't that exactly what he himself was about to say!?

You've said my words, what am I supposed to say now!

"Danzō is not a rogue ninja, he's a Konoha elder!..."

"You dare attack a Konoha elder!..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued speaking.

"What Konoha elder? Since when did Konohagakure have this thing!..."

"We in the Uchiha Clan know nothing about any Konoha elder. I only know this guy led people to attack the Uchiha Clan!..."

"Anyone who dares attack the people of Konoha is a rogue ninja!..."

Bai Ye flicked the blood from his Ninja Sword and continued walking towards Danzō.

"Enough... Uchiha Byakuya!..."

"Do you know what you're doing!?..."

Just then, the other two Konoha elders, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, also arrived and immediately confronted Bai Ye.

"We are Konoha elders, what do you Security Force members amount to..."

"How dare you act so presumptuously in front of us..."

But faced with the imposing duo, Bai Ye didn't get angry; instead, he burst into laughter.

"Heh heh, you ask me what the Security Force amounts to!..."

"I'll tell you right now..."

"Those the Hokage dares not arrest, our Security Force will arrest..."

"Those the Hokage dares not kill, our Security Force will kill..."

"In short, matters the Hokage can manage, our Security Force will manage, and matters the Hokage cannot manage, our Security Force will manage even more..."

"With the Will of Fire, we protect Konohagakure..."

"Anyone who dares to destroy Konoha will die..."

"Even if it's the Hokage, if he dares to violate the Will of Fire, our Security Force will arrest him..."

"This... is the Uchiha Security Force..."

Bai Ye's domineering voice spread rapidly in all directions.

Arrogant, extremely arrogant.

He didn't even seem to care about the Hokage.

Everyone present heard Bai Ye's words and was shocked.

As for the Uchiha Clan members, hearing Bai Ye's words made their blood boil, and their faces were filled with excitement.

Look, listen! What a domineering declaration.

This is the Uchiha Clan.

Only Lord Bai Ye can lead our Uchiha Clan to rise.

"Damn it, Uchiha Byakuya!..."

Unlike the Uchiha Clan's excitement, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō, and the others had extremely grim expressions.

What was this!? This was simply disregarding him, the Hokage, and the Konoha higher-ups.

How could they not be enraged.

[Ding, sensed Hiruzen Sarutobi's anger, +700 Negative Energy, Taijutsu +30...]

[Ding, sensed Shimura Danzō's anger, +800 Negative Energy, Genjutsu +32...]

[Ding, sensed Utatane Koharu's anger, +900 Negative Energy, Ninjutsu +35...]

[Ding, sensed Mitokado Homura's anger, +1000 Negative Energy, Chakra +40...]

"Hokage-sama! Are you satisfied with my answer now!?..."

Bai Ye said as he looked at the enraged Hokage and the others.

Seeing Bai Ye's demeanor, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others clenched their fists tightly.

They wished they could kill Bai Ye right now.

However, they also knew very well that they couldn't make a move at this moment.

Not to mention Bai Ye's immense strength, there were also many Uchiha Clan ninjas watching covetously.

If they really made a move, the losses would outweigh the gains.

This was also the reason why Bai Ye dared to be so arrogant.

Byakuya was certain Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't dare make a move, nor would he.

Since he knew Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't make a move, what was Byakuya afraid of?

Byakuya was practically slapping the face of Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, in front of everyone.

This kind of blatant provocation earned Byakuya a large amount of Negative Energy.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and returned to his usual kindly demeanor.

"Uchiha Byakuya, what you said is very good!..."

"With the Security Force here, I can rest assured about Konohagakure's safety..."

"However, Danzo is an elder of Konohagakure!..."

"If he made a mistake, the Anbu will handle him..."

"I wonder if your Security Force can hand Danzo over to our Anbu..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, looking at Byakuya.

"The Hokage wants to personally deal with this traitor!? No problem..."

"However, our Uchiha Clan's compound was attacked and suffered heavy losses, what should be done about that..."

Byakuya asked, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
