Bai Ye had to admire Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't a particularly strong Hokage, his skill at persecuting people was truly top-notch.
He had managed to turn a powerhouse like Hatake Sakumo into this state.

The once Konoha White Fang had now become the Konoha White Idiot.
"What did you say!..."
Upon hearing Bai Ye's dismissive words, Hatake Sakumo immediately became enraged.
All traces of his decadence were swept away, and he glared at Bai Ye like a sharp dagger.
[Ding, Hatake Sakumo's anger detected, +100 Negative Energy, Taijutsu +2...]
"Now that's more like the Konoha White Fang!..."
"So, how about it? Want to join our Security Force..."
Bai Ye said, looking at Hatake Sakumo as if he were a completely different person.
"Me, join the Security Force!? How is that possible!..."
"I'm the head of Konoha's Anbu... I can't possibly join the Security Force..."
Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Hatake Sakumo refused without hesitation.
Hatake Sakumo had also heard about the things Bai Ye had been up to recently.
Especially Bai Ye's declaration regarding the Security Force.
Things the Hokage doesn't dare to manage, our Security Force will manage...
This had shocked him immensely.
He hadn't expected the Uchiha Clan to be so bold these days, not even showing respect to the Hokage.
However, Hatake Sakumo still had no intention of joining the Security Force.
He was the head of the Anbu, a loyalist of the Hokage faction, how could he possibly join the Security Force?
"Heh heh, they call you an idiot, and you really are one..."
"You follow Hiruzen Sarutobi like a loyal dog, but that old geezer doesn't see you as one of his own..."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have targeted you..."
Bai Ye said to Hatake Sakumo with great disdain.
"Targeted me!? What are you talking about!?..."
"How could the Hokage-sama target me..."
"You better leave immediately, or I won't be polite..."
Hatake Sakumo said furiously.
Even though the entire Konohagakure was filled with rumors about him, he remained deeply loyal to Konoha and the Hokage.
"Heh heh... Not polite? I'd like to see how you, you idiot, are going to be impolite to me..."
Bai Ye said fearlessly.
Just as the two were at each other's throats, a small child walked in.
"Father..."
"Kakashi, come here quickly..."
Seeing the newcomer, Hatake Sakumo quickly pulled the child behind him.
"This is your son, Hatake Kakashi, right? A fine young lad..."
"You wouldn't want your son to be in danger in the future, would you!..."
Bai Ye said to Hatake Sakumo with ill intentions, looking at Hatake Kakashi.
"You... What do you want!?..."
"If you dare to lay a hand on Hatake Kakashi, I will not forgive you..."
Upon hearing that Bai Ye intended to threaten him with Hatake Kakashi, Hatake Sakumo became enraged.
[Ding, Hatake Sakumo's anger detected, +500 Negative Energy, Taijutsu +30...]
"Haha, you should worry about yourself first..."
Facing Hatake Sakumo's words, Bai Ye appeared completely unconcerned.
"Yan, how's the investigation going..."
"Lord Bai Ye, the investigation is complete. These people are all from the Sarutobi Clan..."
"Excellent, then what are you waiting for!? Arrest them immediately..."
Byakuya said directly.
Before coming to find Hatake Sakumo, Byakuya had dispatched members of the Security Force to investigate the people spreading rumors.
As expected, he didn't know until he investigated, and he was shocked when he did.
These people spreading rumors were all from the Sarutobi Clan.
"It's... you guys, come with me!..."
Hearing Byakuya's words, Uchiha En immediately took a few members of the Uchiha Clan and left.
"What!? Aren't you going to clean your room!?..."
"Many people will be coming soon..."
Looking at the messy room, Byakuya said to Hatake Sakumo.
"Uchiha Byakuya, what exactly do you want to do!..."
Hatake Sakumo looked at Byakuya and said with a frown.
"Hatake Sakumo, I feel you are quite good..."
"I don't want you to die in a conspiracy!..."
Byakuya said to Hatake Sakumo.
"Huh!? What do you mean!?..."
Hearing Byakuya's words, Hatake Sakumo was still very confused.
He had indeed had suicidal thoughts just now.
But what did that have to do with a conspiracy?
"You'll know soon..."
Byakuya said to Hatake Sakumo.
Uchiha En, along with members of the Security Force, rushed directly into the Sarutobi Clan's encampment and found their target this time.
"Sarutobi Otake, Sarutobi Kawaizu, Sarutobi Ōmō, right!..."
Uchiha En asked the three Sarutobi Clan ninjas before him.
"That's right, it's us..."
"What do you want!?..."
Seeing Uchiha En and the others, the three asked in confusion.
"Very good, it's you we're looking for..."
"Take them away immediately..."
Uchiha En waved his hand, and the Security Force members immediately rushed forward and apprehended the three.
"Damn it, who are you people!? How dare you come to our Sarutobi Clan to cause trouble!..."
"Stop them, don't let them go..."
"You Security Force are too presumptuous, actually coming to our Sarutobi Clan to arrest people..."
"..."
The Sarutobi Clan members naturally wouldn't just watch Uchiha En take their people away.
One by one, Sarutobi Clan ninjas blocked Uchiha En's path.
"Hmph, the Security Force is on official business, whoever dares to obstruct will be killed without mercy..."
Uchiha En gave the order, and all the Security Force members drew their Ninja Swords in unison, pointing them at the obstructing Sarutobi Clan ninjas.
"This..."
Seeing Uchiha En and the others draw their Ninja Swords without hesitation, looking ready to fight at any moment.
These obstructing Sarutobi Clan ninjas were somewhat fearful.
They knew that the Security Force had been very arrogant recently.
They even dared to attack Konoha Elder Shimura Danzō, let alone ordinary ninjas like them.
They had no doubt that if they continued to obstruct, the Security Force would attack them without hesitation.
"Let's go..."
Seeing these intimidated Sarutobi Clan ninjas, Uchiha En immediately grabbed the people and left Hiruzen Sarutobi's residence in a grand manner.
The Sarutobi Clan ninjas looked at each other as they watched the Security Force leave, none daring to stop them.
"What should we do now!..."
"Report to the Third Hokage immediately..."
"The Security Force came to our Sarutobi Clan to arrest people..."
"..."
With no other options, the Sarutobi Clan ninja could only report what had happened here to the Hokage.
"What!? What did you say!?..."
"The Security Force arrested members of our Sarutobi Clan..."
Upon hearing that his clansmen had been arrested, Hiruzen Sarutobi was furious.
"Yes, Third [Hokage]..."
"The Security Force arrested Sarutobi Otake, Sarutobi Kawaizu, and Sarutobi Ōmō..."
The Sarutobi Clan member said immediately.
"Wait!? Those three!?..."
Hearing the names of these three, Hiruzen Sarutobi was alarmed.
Others might not know their situation, but as the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi was very clear.
These three were the ones he had secretly ordered to spread rumors about Hatake Sakumo.
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know why the Security Force had arrested them.
He knew it couldn't be anything good.
"Anbu squad, follow me immediately!..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately led an Anbu squad in pursuit.
