Hiruzen Sarutobi Had Already Committed Suicide Out of Fear of Punishment

The Shadow Clone of Qingcheng, seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi was dead, Shadow Clone shouted with disdain, "Hiruzen Sarutobi is such an idiot! We gave you a chance to seal him, to let you improve your record, and all you did was seal a tree!"

Another group of Shadow Clone mocked, "This Evil Hiruzen Sarutobi is only fit to seal some flowers and plants, not us shadow Shadow Clone. The Fourth Hokage's record is that he at least sealed half of the Nine-Tails."

Immediately, a large group of Shadow Clone began mocking Hiruzen Sarutobi. These Shadow Clone didn't hold back in their ridicule, and it was indeed quite funny. A large group of Shadow Clone stood in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi, clamoring for him to hurry up and seal him away!

The reason why Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated to seal it was because there were too many Shadow Clones, making it impossible to find Qingcheng's true form.

The Third Hokage still had reservations. Back then, Minato was forced to use this technique only when the Nine-Tails attacked the village. He himself was only facing Uchiha Qingcheng and was also forced to use this technique. If he hadn't taken Qingcheng away, he would have been even more humiliated.

In the end, Hiruzen Sarutobi realized that he seemed to have only taken a small tree with him, and even in his death, he appeared to be in a fit of rage.

What Qingcheng found most amusing was that even Hiruzen Sarutobi suffered from the Multiple Shadow Clone, unable to distinguish which was his true form.

Qingcheng thought to himself, "Let the Third Hokage experience the hardships the Uchiha Clan has endured, and let him know just how cunning his Teacher Tobirama, truly is."

Meanwhile, Shouhon Yihan was still adding charges against Hiruzen Sarutobi. Danzo now had twenty-eight charges against him, and on top of Danzo's, they were also adding charges against the Third Hokage.

Then, another charge was added against the Third Hokage: "He deliberately oppressed Danzo, forcing him to Danzo crimes, thus unleashing Danzo's full potential for evil."

Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi had one more crime than Danzo, reaching a total of twenty-nine.

After Shouhon Yihan finished writing, he handed the list of Hiruzen Sarutobi's crimes directly to Uchiha Qingcheng, and said with a fawning expression, "Fifth Hokage, do you think this is appropriate?"

Qingcheng took a look, then said with a serious expression, "Let me add one more thing: Hiruzen Sarutobi was corrupt, embezzled public funds for lavish meals and entertainment, and vigorously promoted the Konoha Crush Plan, embezzling up to 100 billion Ryo."

Upon hearing this, Shouhon Yihan said with a serious expression, "Understood, Fifth Hokage. I will arrange for the Third Hokage to be appointed immediately. This morning at seven o'clock, I will place the announcement in every corner of the village so that all the Konoha will know just how evil the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, truly is."

Qingcheng nodded directly, saying with an appreciative look, "You and Fujikawa should discuss it! He's the head of the Publicity Department, and he could already write a million-word reflection on Hiruzen Sarutobi."

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, Fujikawa replied respectfully, "Understood, Fifth Hokage. I will definitely smear the Third Hokage severely and add forty charges against him, including his status as a pedophile, which can also be added to the list of charges."

Qingcheng nodded, quite satisfied, and said, "Fujikawa, you make the arrangements! This publicity task will be handled by your Publicity Department. Remember to emphasize that it was I who saved the collapsing Konoha from the brink of collapse."

Upon hearing this, Fujikawa replied respectfully, "Your subordinate understands."

Shouhon Yihan then said with a fawning expression, "Fifth Hokage, please go to the Hokage Building as soon as possible. The village still needs you to oversee things. We also need to hold a village-wide meeting to let everyone know that the Daimyo has appointed you as the Fifth Hokage, and we need to hold the Hokage coronation ceremony as soon as possible."

Qingcheng glanced at the time. The coup had started at four o'clock and succeeded at 5:10, taking seventy minutes in total.

Qingcheng then said with a serious expression, "Summon Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu out here and tell them what to do."

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Fu said with a serious expression, "I'll show Utatane Kohana Mitokado Homura her nude photos right now, as a warning to others, to intimidate some of the Utatane Koharu."

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng was taken aback again, and said with a puzzled look, "Are you wondering about Mitokado Homura? Just show it to Utatane Koharu?"

Just then, Qingcheng's Shadow Clone returned, carrying Hiruzen Sarutobi. One of the Shadow Clone shouted, "Hiruzen Sarutobi has committed suicide out of guilt. Is there any room for the real body to act?"

Qingcheng glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi 'Hiruzen Sarutobi corpse again and noticed several handprints on his pale face, clearly indicating he had been beaten.

Qingcheng said with great disdain, "You guys are still whipping Hiruzen Sarutobi! He's already dead, his soul is inside the Death God's belly, and you still slap him a few times!"

Qingcheng then said to Shouhon Yihan, "Although the Evil Hiruzen Sarutobi was heinous, he was still a Hokage. Send his body to the Uchiha One-Dragon Company and have Yunye perform a ritual for him. Even though his soul is still in the stomach of the Death God, the Third Hokage will surely feel our goodwill. The expenses will be covered by the Police Force. Let's give Hiruzen Sarutobi a proper burial."

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, a large Police Force shouted, "Understood, Lord Fifth Generation, we will take care of it immediately."

Immediately afterwards, a large group of Police Force personnel, carrying the body of the Third Hokage, went to Yunye to have it buried.

Qingcheng thought for a moment, "Should we hold a memorial service or something, get donations from the villagers, and also get some money from the various ninja clans? We can make another profit that way."

Seeing Qingcheng's excited expression, Shouhon Yihan immediately guessed Qingcheng thoughts and said, "Fifth Hokage, it would be best not to include the Third Hokage's corpse in the offering; it would beautify Hiruzen Sarutobi."

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng immediately understood the meaning and then said with a serious expression, "I'm just considering whether it's feasible."

Qingcheng blinked again, and said with a serious expression, "Next month, Kurenai Yuhi and I will hold our wedding. We must make sure all the ninja clans attend. We'll arrange seating for them based on the amount of money they give as gifts."

Upon hearing this, Shouhon Yihan said with an embarrassed expression, "It can indeed be done. For those guys who don't come to give a gift, just accuse them of Danzo with Danzo, and our Police Force will go and raid their homes."

Just then, some members of the Police Force found the Sarutobi Clan's storeroom in the ruins; all the stored items inside had been reduced to ashes.

Upon learning this, Qingcheng was heartbroken and thought to himself, "I should have known better than to use so many Explosive Tag; this is a huge loss."

Qingcheng called out again, "Come with me to the Hokage Building to prepare to take over Hokage."

Immediately afterwards, a large group of Police Force personnel followed Qingcheng and marched in a grand procession towards the Hokage Building.
