Hokage, Why Did You Betray Konoha

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is extremely important to the entire Konohagakure.

Therefore, regardless of the reason, Hiruzen Sarutobi could not possibly abandon the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Even more importantly, Hiruzen Sarutobi was well aware that the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan could control the Nine-Tails.

Once, Uchiha Madara controlled the Nine-Tails and attacked the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

Thus, Hiruzen Sarutobi absolutely could not let the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki fall into the hands of the Uchiha Clan.

If someone from the Uchiha Clan mastered the power of the Nine-Tails, it would be a disaster for him.

So, upon hearing Bai Ye's unhesitating refusal, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression became very serious.

"What did you say? Uchiha Bai Ye, don't forget your position..."

"You are merely the captain of the Security Force, and I am the Hokage of Konohagakure..."

"Hand over the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki immediately..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately used his authority as Hokage.

He wanted to use his Hokage status to suppress Bai Ye and get the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki back from him.

But unfortunately, this was useless against Bai Ye.

"I said, from now on, Kushina Uzumaki belongs to our Uchiha Clan..."

Bai Ye said confidently while holding Kushina.

"You... Uchiha Bai Ye, are you really going to betray Konohagakure!?"

"How dare you defy the Hokage's orders..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued to shout sternly, intending to first accuse Bai Ye of betraying Konohagakure.

However, unfortunately, before Hiruzen Sarutobi could finish speaking, Bai Ye interrupted him directly.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the Hokage, you failed to keep a close eye on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki..."

"You allowed Kushina to beat people up and destroy Konohagakure... You are the one betraying Konohagakure..."

"Since you are incapable of being the Hokage, then leave it to our Uchiha Clan..."

"Everything is for the Will of Fire..."

Bai Ye knew that in terms of political rhetoric, he was truly no match for Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi could easily twist black into white and use the Will of Fire as an excuse, making it impossible for anyone to fault him.

Therefore, Bai Ye didn't give Hiruzen Sarutobi a chance to finish his words.

You like using the Will of Fire, don't you? Then I will too.

Let's see what you can do about it.

Hearing Bai Ye's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turned even darker.

Everything is for the Will of Fire, wasn't that my line!?

You stole my words, what else can I say!

"Uchiha Bai Ye, put down the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki immediately..."

"This is your final ultimatum..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a dark tone.

"I said, Kushina Uzumaki now belongs to our Uchiha Clan..."

"No one can take Kushina Uzumaki away..."

Bai Ye said dismissively while looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Damn it, Anbu, listen up!..."

"Go and retrieve the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki immediately..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered the surrounding Anbu.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that Bai Ye possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan and was extremely powerful.

He would not easily clash with Bai Ye until he found a way to deal with the Mangekyo Sharingan.

But now, it was different. Bai Ye actually wanted to take the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki away.

This was something he absolutely could not tolerate.

Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want to clash with Bai Ye, he had to fight now.

Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, the surrounding Anbu drew their weapons in unison.

"What are you Anbu doing!?"

"How dare you attack the Security Force, are you trying to betray Konohagakure!?"

Bai Ye said to the Anbu with an unfriendly tone.

Meanwhile, the guards surrounding them also gripped their weapons tightly.

"Hmph, I'm the Hokage, and I decide whether someone is a rogue ninja or not..."

"Attack! Immediately retrieve the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki for me..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi no longer had the mood to put on a show and directly tore off his usual kind facade.

Now, he just wanted to immediately reclaim the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Yes... Attack..."

Upon hearing the order, the Anbu charged at Bai Ye without the slightest hesitation.

"It seems you truly intend to betray Konohagakure..."

"If that's the case, I will judge you with the Will of Fire..."

"Security Force, obey my command, eliminate all Anbu..."

Bai Ye also directly issued the order to attack.

"Yes..."

Hearing Bai Ye's command, the Uchiha Clan ninjas in the Security Force also drew their weapons without the slightest hesitation and attacked the Anbu.

Although the ninjas who could join the Anbu were all elite ninjas of Konohagakure, and their strength was formidable.

However, the Uchiha Clan ninjas in the Security Force were even stronger than them.

Especially the Uchiha Clan ninjas who had activated their Sharingan were not something the Anbu could easily contend with.

Relying on the powerful abilities of the Sharingan, the guards easily crushed the Anbu.

"This is the true power of the Uchiha!..."

Seeing the Uchiha Clan ninjas beating up the Anbu, Bai Ye couldn't help but think to himself.

The ninja world, in the end, was a world that valued strength above all else.

And in the ninja world, the simplest way to increase one's strength was through powerful bloodline limits.

Ninjas with bloodline limits could easily crush ordinary ninjas under equal combat power.

Even if there were a few exceptional ordinary ninjas who could rival bloodline limit ninjas through reckless training, they were still extremely rare.

Bai Ye truly couldn't understand why Konoha, which possessed powerful bloodline limit clans, didn't maintain good relationships with them.

Instead, it constantly targeted bloodline limit clans, fearing their strength would increase.

Ultimately, this led to Konoha's decline.

Konoha, once the greatest ninja village, was left with a generation gap.

It was directly destroyed by Nagato's Six Paths of Pain.

If it weren't for Naruto Uzumaki's Talk no Jutsu finally working, it would still be unknown whether Konohagakure would still exist.

"Damn it, damn Uchiha..."

"This can't go on. The battle must end immediately..."

Seeing his subordinates, the Anbu, being beaten up by the Uchiha Clan ninjas, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was extremely grim.

He knew very well that the longer this dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

Now, he had to immediately snatch the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki back from Bai Ye and end the battle.

"Shh..."

With that thought, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't hesitate. He pulled off his Hokage robe, revealing his well-built ninja attire.

When he heard that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki had gone berserk, he had already prepared for battle and put on his combat uniform.

However, what he didn't expect was that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina, had actually been subdued by Bai Ye.

But his preparations were not in vain. Now he had to act personally and snatch the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki from Bai Ye's arms.

"Whoosh..."

Before anyone could react, Hiruzen Sarutobi used a Body Flicker Technique, appearing before Bai Ye and reaching for Kushina Uzumaki in Bai Ye's arms.

He didn't care about sneak attacks anymore, nor did he care about his reputation.

Snatching back the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was the priority.
