Questioning the Third Hokage

The clansmen behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, looking at Qingcheng's enormous Chakra reserves and powerful aura, were all filled with astonishment. They exclaimed in shock, "How can this Uchiha Clan have so much Chakra? It's even more than the Senju Clan!"

Seeing Qingcheng's sudden outburst, which was so much stronger than the Third Hokage, Shouhon Yihan excitedly said, "You Sarutobi scum, you think you can tear my mouth apart? With the Fifth Hokage here today, I think it's your Sarutobi Clan that will face the judgment of the righteous Police Force!"

Sarutobi Aiki was also filled with surprise. Looking at Qingcheng's aura, which had increased significantly since last time, he thought to himself, "This Uchiha Clan is simply inhuman. In just one month, his strength has increased to another level. It's truly the heavens' will to destroy my Sarutobi Clan."

Sarutobi Shirauo stared wide-eyed at Qingcheng's massive Chakra reserves, then exclaimed in shock, "This Evil Uchiha Qingcheng, how come he gets stronger every time we meet? It's terrifying!"

Seeing that his aura and Chakra were no match for Uchiha Qingcheng, the Third Hokage said with a solemn expression, "Uchiha Qingcheng, do you really want to fight me? Although I am old, I am not a pushover to be manipulated by you."

Qingcheng laughed heartily, then said sternly, "If you were a tough nut to crack, you wouldn't be so weak and incompetent. Let me ask you, how did Hyuga Hiashi die?"

Qingcheng then prepared to torture Hiruzen Sarutobi, forcing him to evaluate for himself the things that had brought shame upon Konoha.

Seeing Aokiji's stern face, Qingcheng Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed again and said awkwardly, "He was forced to his death by the Hidden Cloud Village. I do bear some responsibility for this."

The members of the Sarutobi Clan looked embarrassed upon hearing the Third Hokage's words and asked, "What's going on? What does this have to do with the Third Hokage? Wasn't it Danzo forced Hizashi Hyuga?"

All the members of the Police Force shouted, "What do you mean by having some responsibility? You, as Hokage, couldn't even protect the villagers. You used their lives to exchange for the village's peace. It's utterly hypocritical!"

Hearing these accusations, the Third Hokage's face turned pale again, and he looked utterly remorseful.

Qingcheng said with a serious face, "You clearly knew about Danzo's actions, yet you deliberately let him go and pressure Danzo Hizashi Hyuga. You pretended not to know anything and continued to play the role of a kind and benevolent Third Hokage. And all of this was done according to your wishes because Danzo took the blame for you."

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, the Third Hokage's face filled with panic, as if someone had exposed his innermost thoughts. His pale old face grew even more solemn.

Upon hearing Qingcheng's question, the clansmen behind Hiruzen Sarutobi retorted, "That was Danzo's own choice. What does it have to do with the Third Hokage? Uchiha Qingcheng, don't try to twist the facts. The Third Hokage's achievements are not for you to discuss."

Hearing the support from his clansmen behind him, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a warmth in his heart, and thought to himself, "It's always the people from my own clan who are reliable. Outsiders can't be depended on in crucial moments."

Then the Third Hokage spoke up again, "I am indeed to blame for Hizashi's actions, but Konoha was economically depressed at that time and could not support us in fighting the Hidden Cloud Village. Therefore, sacrificing Hyuga Hiashi can bring peace to all of Konoha. I think you would do the same!"

Looking at the stern-faced Third Hokage, Qingcheng shouted sharply, "I will never do what you did, using the lives of the villagers as a bargaining chip for peace. This is just your incompetence and weakness. If it were me, I would lead all the ninja of Konoha to wage war against the Hidden Cloud Village, until they are terrified and surrender!"

The Third Hokage, seeing Qingcheng's crazed expression, said directly, "Your idea is dangerous. Konoha cannot afford your extravagance. You may be right, I am not a qualified Hokage, but your crazy idea will harm the village."

Upon hearing the Third Hokage's weak words, the members of the Police Force shouted, "If it were the Fifth Hokage, he would have already crushed the Hidden Cloud Village! We'd be profiting and issuing tickets there right now! The cowardly and incompetent Third Hokage, step down and let Minister Qingcheng take over!"

Shouhon Yihan immediately chimed in, "You Evil Hiruzen Sarutobi, you're no longer fit to be Hokage. You should step down and let someone more capable take your place. The Fifth Hokage will lead Konoha to a higher level. The new Konoha can no longer tolerate a product of the old era like you. Surrender, Hiruzen Sarutobi!"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately rebuked, "You greedy bastards, willingly serving as dogs for the Uchiha Clan! I will punish you!"

Another Sarutobi Clansmen shouted, "You Konoha Village parasites have no right to judge the Third Hokage!"

Immediately, the Police Force personnel and the Sarutobi Clansmen started arguing again, and some of the Police Force even drew their Shuriken, preparing to throw Explosive Tag at the Sarutobi Clan.

Meanwhile, the Sarutobi Clan ninjas drew their weapons, and some even began Hand Seals Sarutobi Clansmen, preparing to unleash Ninjutsu to attack the Police Force.

The battlefield situation immediately became tense, with both sides preparing to attack.

Shouhon Yihan also activated the Shadow Clone Jutsu, creating more than a dozen Shadow Clone, each holding Shuriken and Explosive Tag, poised to throw them, awaiting Qingcheng's command.

The Third Hokage looked at the Police Force members, who numbered over a hundred more than the Sarutobi Clan. Moreover, all the Police Force members were armed with Explosive Tag and Shuriken; some were even using Shadow Clone Jutsu to increase the number of throwers.

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought to himself, "That Evil Uchiha robbed so many Sarutobi Clansmen's ninja tool shops, and now they're using that equipment against us. It's infuriating!"

Looking at the furious Third Hokage, Qingcheng questioned again, "Back then, Uchiha Shisui reported to you that he was going to stop the Uchiha Clan's coup. He even told you about the Kotoamatsukami Dōjutsu and planned to use Kotoamatsukami to control Uchiha Fugaku, thereby stopping the coup."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a serious expression, "Uchiha Shisui was a kind-hearted Uchiha Clan. His heart was full of love for the village, unlike you."

Qingcheng then questioned, "Then why did you kill Shisui? He was clearly Kagami Uchiha's grandson, and he shared the same master as you. If you hadn't betrayed Shisui to Danzo, he wouldn't have suffered persecution at Danzo."

At this point, Qingcheng cursed again, "Hiruzen Sarutobi, you beast in human form, I'll jump up and fuck your mother! If you hadn't let Danzo persecute and suppress the Uchiha Clan, would the Uchiha Clan have staged a coup?"
