The Fight Begins

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was filled with surprise and a hint of panic. He thought to himself, "Could it be that I will lose to the Uchiha Clan in the end? No matter what, I will never give the Hokage position to the Uchiha Clan."

Utatane Koharu, seeing Homura's helpless expression, asked in surprise, "Homura, what happened to you? What did that Evil Uchiha do to you?"

Mitokado Homura sighed, looking embarrassed, and said, "My grandson went to school and was cornered and beaten by other students. They even drew a turtle on his face and said his grandfather was an evil advisor to Konoha."

Mitokado Homura sighed again, and continued, "When I woke up this morning, I saw a large group of villagers who were going to ransack my house. They even threw excrement at my doorstep, cursed me to die a horrible death, and wished that all my sons would be born without an anus."

Upon hearing this, Utatane Koharu looked surprised and said seriously, "It must be this Uchiha Clan who did this. He wants to force us to surrender. He can't wait to become the Fifth Hokage. We can't surrender to the Uchiha Clan."

Mitokado Homura sighed again, looking panicked, and said, "Those villagers are calling me a hothead again, saying I'm aiding and abetting Hiruzen's evil deeds, and that I deserve to be struck by lightning. They even said I'm pimping for Hiruzen and that I'll get my comeuppance. I don't dare go out now. I had to sneak around to the Hokage Building today."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face filled with anger, and he slammed his fist on the table again, making another loud thud in the Hokage's Office.

A large group of Anbu Ninja, hearing the noise from the Hokage's Office, all looked troubled and said in a panic, "Our jobs Anbu Ninja aren't easy anymore. We'll be arrested by the Police Force as soon as we go out on the street."

Some of the Anbu Ninja complained, "Yeah, the pay is so low, not even enough to cover the fines imposed by the Police Force. I'm also considering working there. There's no salary cap there; if you're ruthless enough, you can earn a hundred million a month. Plus, there are lots of Ninjutsu to learn. Unlike here, where you need rank and contribution points."

Another masked Anbu Ninja said with envy, "If I had known this would happen, I would have resigned from the beginning. I wouldn't have been unable to pay the fine and had my house raided by the Police Force."

Another ninja wearing a tiger mask said helplessly, "How could those Police Force personnel know our details? And they catch us every time, just waiting for us to go out on the streets and hand over the fines. All my savings have been stolen by the Police Force personnel."

Another Anbu Ninja said with envy, "Captain Owl and Minister Qingcheng have a good relationship. He can look at 'Icha Icha Paradise' on the street without any problems. And those guys from the Police Force don't arrest Might Guy. He can walk upside down on the street, and the Police Force members don't care."

An Anbu Ninja knew the inside story spoke up directly, "Last time, the Police Force arrested Might Guy, but that Uchiha Qingcheng ordered Might Guy released, and almost made him pay with a set of weighted ninja tools."

An Anbu Ninja wearing a hyena mask immediately remarked, "This Might Guy is really strange. He has a watermelon-shaped haircut and often goes to the Anbu to challenge Captain Owl. His record is twenty-one losses and nineteen wins."

A Sarutobi Clan's Anbu Ninja remarked, "This Might Guy is even more wicked than Uchiha Qingcheng; they're both outcasts of Konoha."

Seeing this, the other Anbu Ninja scattered and kept their distance from the Sarutobi Clan Anbu Ninja.

Meanwhile, roars echoed from the Hokage's Office as Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted, "This Evil Uchiha! I won't let you push your luck any further! I'm going to war with you! I'm going to drive you all out of Konoha!"

Meanwhile, Utatane Koharu, watching the enraged Hiruzen Sarutobi, thought to herself, "We Konoha High Command have lost all the games we had an easy time with, and we've never won a game where we were behind. In the worst games, Uchiha Qingcheng would jump up and curse at us. I don't even dare to hear those curses a second time. He didn't even spare a seventy-year-old woman like me."

Thinking of this, Utatane Koharu couldn't help but sigh again, her face full of bitterness. She slowly said, "Let's wait for Tsunade and the others to come back! If we continue fighting the Uchiha Clan, I don't know how badly we'll lose."

Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage's face was filled with anger and resentment. He then said solemnly, "If he dares to act recklessly again and harm the village, I will definitely use the Fourth Hokage's technique to take this Evil Uchiha away."

Seeing this, Mitokado Homura said helplessly, "Hiruzen, if you take Uchiha Qingcheng away, that's fine. But if you don't, I'm afraid Konoha will explode and the whole village will be destroyed. That Evil Uchiha is capable of anything. Aren't you afraid the Sarutobi Clan will be wiped out?"

Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage thought of his young grandson Konohamaru, who was not even a year old, and his son Asuma, who would also become victims of the war.

The Third Hokage then relented, saying with a weary expression, "You're right. We should plan this carefully. This is the most crucial time for Konoha Homura now. I hope you can stay and help me; the village can't do without you."

Just then, another group of villagers appeared outside the Hokage's building. These villagers were all holding long banners that read, "The Evil Hiruzen Sarutobi, get out of Konoha!"

Immediately, a villager pulled out a megaphone and shouted, "Evil Hiruzen Sarutobi, you're a monster! You even dared to lay a hand on your own daughter-in-law! That Konohamaru Sarutobi is actually your own son! You bastard, get out of Konoha!"

Immediately, led by Fujikawa, the villagers, filled with righteous indignation, began hurling insults at the Hokage Building. Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, Sarutobi Sasuke Sarutobi's father, was dragged out and verbally abused by the villagers.

Some villagers even cursed him directly, "Hiruzen Sarutobi, you're not human! You allowed Danzo to conduct human experiments, and you even let Danzo kidnap children and pimp for you! You're a living beast!"

Some of the female ninjas directly shouted, "Hiruzen Sarutobi, you pervert! You peep at us while we bathe Tenten, and you even molest three-year-old girls! Get out of Konoha! Our village doesn't want a pervert like you as Hokage!"

The group that was cursing Hiruzen Sarutobi consisted partly of villagers and partly of the Little Black Brigade. Because they had the support of the Police Force, they didn't hold back when they cursed him.

In the past, if so many people had gathered on the street, Danzo would have Danzo all long ago. But now that Root is gone, the Anbu Ninja don't dare to interfere, because if they leave the Hokage Building, they'll be surrounded by the Police Force.

Fujikawa was still a little nervous, thinking to himself, "This is my first time teaming Hiruzen Sarutobi. What should I be careful about? Is he Anbu Ninja?"

Another guy with Anbu Ninja, they're members of the Sarutobi Clan. They're the ones who would actually fight, but we have the Police Force behind us."
