The Hokage's Sword Is So Efficient at Striking His Own People

Seeing the situation before him, Hiruzen Sarutobi reacted quickly, immediately changing his tone.

"Who is it!? How dare you damage Konohagakure..."

"Anyone who dares to damage Konohagakure is unforgivable..."

"Captain Bai Ye, where are the rogue ninja you mentioned..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a look of grief and indignation.

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's suddenly changed expression, Bai Ye couldn't help but admire him.

As expected of a master schemer who could become Hokage, this ability to lie with a straight face was something ordinary people couldn't learn.

"It's these three..."

Bai Ye pointed at the three members of the Sarutobi Clan and said.

"Bastards, how dare you betray Konohagakure..."

"The entire Sarutobi Clan will be shamed because of you..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi berated the three.

"Hokage-sama, we..."

The three were about to speak, but Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted them directly.

"Shut up..."

"In my capacity as the Third Hokage, I declare you rogue ninja..."

"Konohagakure will judge you..."

Fearing they would reveal information detrimental to him, Hiruzen Sarutobi gave them no chance to speak and directly declared them rogue ninja.

"Good... Hokage-sama, you speak very well!..."

"Since that's the case, the opportunity to execute the three of them now falls to Hokage-sama..."

Bai Ye handed a Ninja Sword to Hiruzen Sarutobi and said with a smile.

"This... execute them!..."

Seeing the Ninja Sword Bai Ye handed over, Hiruzen Sarutobi was momentarily stunned and didn't react.

In Hiruzen Sarutobi's plan, he would first define the three people before him as rogue ninja and control the situation.

Then, he would have the Anbu take them away.

Whether to release them or deal with them would then be his decision.

However, what Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't expect was that Bai Ye would hand him a knife.

Asking him to execute them on the spot, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't react for a moment.

"What's wrong!? Hokage-sama!?..."

"Aren't rogue ninja supposed to be killed without mercy!?..."

"Does Hokage-sama have other ideas!?..."

Bai Ye looked at the stunned Hiruzen Sarutobi and said threateningly.

Bai Ye's intention was very clear: he was forcing Hiruzen Sarutobi to personally kill the three people before him.

Obviously, Hiruzen Sarutobi understood this.

If he didn't kill the three people before him, Bai Ye wouldn't easily let this matter go.

"Hoo... You're right!..."

"Rogue ninja should be killed without mercy..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath, took the Ninja Sword from Bai Ye's hand, and looked towards the three members of the Sarutobi Clan.

The three members of the Sarutobi Clan became flustered upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words.

"Hokage-sama, don't kill us..."

"Hokage-sama, we all acted according to your orders..."

"..."

The three were about to speak, but Hiruzen Sarutobi gave them no chance to retort, and his Ninja Sword swung down.

"Pfft... Pfft... Pfft..."

Blood splattered, and the three fell to the ground.

"Good... Hokage-sama's swordsmanship is excellent..."

"So decisive when killing your own people..."

Bai Ye said mockingly, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed not to have heard Bai Ye's taunt and instead looked towards Hatake Sakumo.

"Sakumo, are you alright! Don't mind the rumors in the village, the village is always by your side..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a kind smile.

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew very well that Hatake Sakumo, as the head of the Anbu, was very important to the entire Konohagakure.

He had to quickly change his image in front of Hatake Sakumo.

"Pfft... hahaha..."

As Hiruzen Sarutobi was putting on a show, Bai Ye suddenly burst into laughter.

"Damn it, Uchiha Byakuya..."

Hearing Bai Ye's laughter, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turned ashen, his eyes glaring at Bai Ye in anger.

"Don't mind me, you continue! ...Continue your performance! ..."

Bai Ye said carelessly.

"Hoo... Sakumo, the Anbu still needs you..."

"I don't know when you'll be able to manage the Anbu again. The Anbu can't lose you as its leader..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and continued to look kindly at Hatake Sakumo as he asked.

"I'm sorry, Lord Hokage! ..."

"I feel I'm not capable enough. Please give the position of Anbu captain to someone else! ..."

Hatake Sakumo said with a very calm expression.

After this incident, Hatake Sakumo had completely lost hope in Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He had diligently led the Anbu and protected the Hokage, only to be met with a conspiracy.

Why should he continue to be the Anbu captain? Was he looking for death!?

"Is that so! Then you should rest well! ..."

"Whenever you want to come back, the Anbu captain position will always be here for you..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi maintained his kind demeanor, not showing any anger at Hatake Sakumo's refusal, still looking as benevolent as ever.

After refusing Hiruzen Sarutobi, Hatake Sakumo looked towards Bai Ye again.

"Captain Bai Ye, I wonder if your invitation from earlier still stands..."

"Of course it stands... What!? You want to join our Security Force!? ..."

Bai Ye asked, looking at Hatake Sakumo.

"Yes... Please take care of me in the future, Captain Bai Ye..."

Hatake Sakumo said, looking at Bai Ye.

Hatake Sakumo knew very well that he had already offended Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't said anything, he might deal with him in the future.

While Hatake Sakumo was not afraid of death, he couldn't stop worrying about his son, Hatake Kakashi.

And in the entire Konohagakure, the only ones who could oppose the Hokage were the Uchiha Clan.

Now, he had no other choice but to join the Security Force.

Hearing that Hatake Sakumo wanted to join the Security Force, Uchiha En and the others were extremely excited.

"Really!? Konoha White Fang has joined our Security Force..."

"Haha, this is too great..."

"Konoha White Fang, don't worry! Our Security Force has no messy conspiracies..."

"That's right! Our Security Force's duty is to protect Konohagakure, to protect the Will of Fire..."

"..."

The members of the Uchiha Clan couldn't help but say.

"Damn it! Let's go..."

Seeing his Anbu captain join the Security Force, Hiruzen Sarutobi was filled with anger.

However, he couldn't do anything about it now.

"Haha, goodbye, Lord Hokage..."

"Oh, right, Lord Hokage, you'd better keep an eye on your Sarutobi Clan..."

"If your Sarutobi Clan has any more rogue ninja, our Security Force won't be polite..."

Bai Ye continued to provoke Hiruzen Sarutobi, who looked furious.

"Hmph..."

Hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi snorted angrily and quickly left with the Anbu.

His scheme this time was a complete failure, a case of trying to steal a chicken and ending up losing the rice.

Not only did he fail to tarnish Hatake Sakumo's reputation, but he actually pushed Hatake Sakumo into the Uchiha Clan's Security Force.

It was all Uchiha Byakuya's fault. If it weren't for him, his plan wouldn't have failed.

Now Hiruzen Sarutobi was so furious he was grinding his teeth at Byakuya.
