Flip-Flopping
Just when everyone's pressure had reached its peak, Torifu Akimichi broke the silence, speaking directly, "Uchiha Qingcheng, we have already witnessed your strength. I also feel it's inappropriate for you to demand that Hiruzen Sarutobi a letter of repentance, after all, he is the Hokage."
Then Torifu Akimichi spoke up again, saying, "I won't let you change it to anything else. I will stand on a fair and impartial footing and will not favor either side. What do you think?"
The Third Hokage had just braced himself, but looking at Qingcheng's more than five hundred shadow clones, and each of them possessing the Mangekyō Sharingan Shadow Clone, he was momentarily uncertain about his chances.
The Third Hokage thought to himself, "Can the Reaper Death Seal take this guy away? And what kind of eyes does Uchiha Yongcheng's Super Invincible Sharingan like?"
So, the tone immediately shifted, Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a serious expression, "Danzo the matter of Qingcheng-kun, I have indeed been very negligent, but issuing a letter of self-reproach will plunge Konoha into turmoil. Other ninja villages are watching Konoha, and we cannot afford to lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of a small matter."
Mitokado Homura immediately objected, "Qingcheng Chief Aoki, your strength is indeed impressive, but the ninjas of Konoha are not afraid of the enemy."
Mitokado Homura, intending to seize the initiative, said directly to Hiruzen Sarutobi, "Third Hokage, why don't you fight him and let him see the Sarutobi Clan's Fire Release?"
Utatane Koharu Homura, seeing Homura's escalating anger, spoke up directly, "Don't you think Konoha is chaotic enough already? What will happen if we lose?"
Mitokado Homura immediately shut up. The Third Hokage was also caught in a dilemma by Homura's words. He definitely couldn't win in a fight, and negotiating would only result in further losses. It was a real headache.
Qingcheng saw that these people were basically intimidated by him. He hadn't originally intended for the Third Hokage to write a letter of repentance; he was only thinking about the issue of compensation.
The Third Hokage was the most useless Hokage to begin with, throwing the various ninja of Konoha into chaos, and now he's suppressing the Hyuga Clan, fearing Hyuga Clan them.
"Once someone signs a letter of self-reproach, it means they admit their incompetence and that they've ruined the village. Those Konoha villagers, like trolls, will definitely start cursing the Sarutobi Clan from now on."
The Third Hokage spent decades cultivating himself into the image of Konoha's strongest Hokage, the most benevolent Konoha ninja bear, the Professor of Ninjutsu, and many other titles. Yet, after a mere confession, he was still condemned and cursed even in death.
However, in negotiations, you have to put the greatest pressure on the other party, make them feel the greatest sense of oppression, so that you can get the most out of them.
Therefore, Uchiha Qingcheng didn't speak. Instead, he crossed his arms, looking arrogantly at Hiruzen Sarutobi, Mitokado Homura, and the others.
Meanwhile, Qingyu's Shadow Clone were getting agitated, shouting, "Main body, let's fight them! Let's wipe them all out, you become Hokage, and let Uchiha Yongcheng be the Pot Kage!"
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others were all astonished, thinking to themselves, "He's really too arrogant; he actually wants to seize the village."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was also quite angry, his face filled with rage. He thought to himself, "The position of Hokage definitely cannot be given to the Evil Uchiha clan. The Future Hokage can be anyone, but it will absolutely not be Uchiha Clan."
However, when Hiruzen Sarutobi saw Uchiha Qingcheng's aloof and gloomy face, he instantly felt a surge of pressure.
Then the Third Hokage said with a serious expression, "If Qingcheng-kun wants to become Hokage."
Mitokado Homura was also visibly surprised, inwardly cursing, "If this Evil Uchiha becomes Hokage, I'm afraid I won't even be able to become a senior advisor to Konoha. I must object."
Therefore, Mitokado Homura immediately spoke up, saying, "Hiruzen is right. Uchiha Qingcheng, if you want to become Hokage, you must gain the village's approval."
Utatane Koharu immediately chimed in, "Qingcheng-kun, your actions have tarnished your path to Hokage. Stop it now!"
Meanwhile, Qingcheng's Shadow Clone started to get agitated again, shouting, "Shouldn't the main body fight them? Call Father out and have Uchiha Yongcheng wipe out all these beasts!"
The group of Anbu Ninja, having been called beasts for what felt like the umpteenth time today, all wore expressions of anger. But looking at the powerful Qingcheng, they thought to themselves, "Can we really win a war against the Uchiha Clan like this?"
One of Qingcheng's Shadow Clone was still shouting and cursing, "The real body, hurry up and call for reinforcements! Kill the Third Hokage!"
These words immediately created a Yakumi atmosphere in the Hokage's Office, with Hiruzen Sarutobi even preparing to Hand Seals to summon Enma to fight.
Just then, the massive Susanoo swung its giant sword down at the shouting Shadow Clone. With several loud bangs, a large number of Shadow Clone vanished.
Everyone looked on in bewilderment as they watched Uchiha Qingcheng's main body utterly destroy his Shadow Clone, especially his golden giant sword, which even cleaved half of the Hokage Building in two.
Qingcheng directly rebuked these Shadow Clones, saying, "You've all overstepped your bounds. I am the original body. The Third Hokage was right; to become Hokage, you must gain the approval of the villagers."
The Hokage's high-ranking officials were all dumbfounded, thinking to themselves, "They were just shouting for war, and now they're killing Shadow Clone. The Uchiha Clan really are all lunatics."
The Third Hokage breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "On the first day I missed Danzo, if Danzo were here, how could Uchiha Qingcheng dare to be so arrogant?"
Then the Third Hokage thought to himself, "Danzo, you spent all your time hunting eagles, and in the end, you got pecked blind by one."
All the Anbu Ninja breathed a sigh of relief. They had all seen Aiji collapse to the ground and remain unable to get up. Everyone was beginning to fear those crimson Sharingan.
Uchiha Qingcheng said with a serious expression, "Third Hokage, I was presumptuous just now, but all of this is because of your targeting of the Uchiha Clan, making my Uchiha Clan feel unsafe in Konoha. In particular, Shimura Danzō Danzo actually gouged out our Uchiha Clan's eyes and used them as experimental subjects."
Qingcheng said angrily, "This is simply unforgivable. I have already sent a message to Uchiha Yongcheng, asking my father to cast Danzo into the Animal Path so that he can be an animal for all eternity, and to also put a Sharingan on Danzo's buttocks."
The Konoha High Command all began to feel apprehensive. Mitokado Homura said with a shocked expression, "Can a dead person be reborn into the Animal Path? This is terrifying! I just opposed him; what if he holds a grudge?"
The Third Hokage stroked his beard and said with a serious expression, "What kind of security do you need, Qingcheng-kun? Young people are often impulsive, and I was like that when I was young too."
Qingcheng produced a document signed by the Second Hokage stating that the Uchiha Clan was responsible for controlling the Konoha Police Force, possessed dominance over Konoha, and could make arrangements independently.
The Third Hokage looked at the document signed by Tobirama and said with a puzzled expression, "Qingcheng-kun, you want the village to acknowledge the authenticity of this document again, right?"
Qingcheng nodded and said with a serious expression, "That's how it is."
Hiruzen Sarutobi took the document, wrote his name on it, and then took a stamp from the shattered desk and stamped it on.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had to find something for this guy to do, to stop him from causing trouble Tenten, especially those Sharingan, which put a lot of pressure on Hiruzen Sarutobi."
Qingcheng, holding the document, said with a smile, "Third Hokage, I'm sorry, I overstepped my bounds just now. The broken table will be deducted from my salary."
The group of Anbu Ninja and a number of Konoha High Command were all astonished upon hearing Qingcheng's words.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, in particular, had a resentful expression on his face, but inwardly he cursed, "That Evil Uchiha, Danzo should have wiped them all out!"
However, the three Hokage, being seasoned actors, quickly regained their composure.
The Third Hokage, with a kind expression, said sincerely, "Qingcheng-kun, these are all misunderstandings. In the future, you must remain calm when encountering problems. I am an experienced person and will not hold grudges over such trivial matters."
Qingcheng then spoke up with a serious expression, "Danzo huge sum of money from the village and directly persecuted our Uchiha Clan. You must also compensate him. Just give us the amount of money you Uchiha Clan supporting Root!"
Upon hearing this, Mitokado Homura immediately wanted to object, but seeing Qingcheng's scarlet Sharingan, he immediately said, "Let's discuss this further among the Konoha High Command. What do you think?"
Uchiha Qingcheng's face darkened instantly, and he shouted angrily, "If you hadn't provided Root with such a huge sum of money, would Danzo have been able to persecute the village's ninja clans like this? If not, I'll have Uchiha Yongcheng it from you!"
After saying that, Uchiha Qingcheng pulled out Three-pronged Kunai and shouted fiercely, "Rin, Bing, Dousha, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Uchiha Yongcheng, heed my command! Go to the Sarutobi Clan tonight to collect the money!"
Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage trembled with anger, but considering the situation just now, he instantly compromised, appearing as if he had aged several years. He said with a serious expression, "That should be it, and that makes perfect sense. These are all matters for Konoha, and we don't need to trouble those who have passed away. How about the day after tomorrow? I'll have someone send it to you then."
