"Master Hiruzen, you must be kidding!"
"Sarutobi Clan, as the staunch guardian of Will of Fire, will never betray the village under any circumstances!"
At this moment, although Sarutobi Koji's posture in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen was still respectful, a strange indifference shone in his eyes, as if he was looking at a useless loser with Alzheimer's disease.
What a joke!
Sarutobi Hiruzen Are you so stupid?
Constantly suppressing the desire to tremble in his body and suppressing the urge to yell, Sarutobi Koji turned his body slightly at this moment and exchanged a look with the tribesmen who had the same strange eyes at this moment.
Check your eyes!
They are all people who don't want to leave!
If we move the timeline forward two months, with the power of Sarutobi Hiruzen in Konoha and his family, he could say this about leaving Konoha...
Maybe, maybe, should, probably... there's a little bit of a possibility... someone will actually follow...
But now after this series of changes...
What a joke!
It's not entirely because of Sarutobi Hiruzen's recent poor performance. After all, although Sarutobi Hiruzen was severely suppressed and humiliated by Uchiha Jin, he still has a very high prestige within the family due to his years of accumulation of power.
The most important point is also the simplest point, that is...
Benefits!
Thinking of the reason why you and your clan members stick to the front line and live in bloody battles with Kumogakure ninjas every day, isn't it just to protect the wealth that you and your clan members have accumulated over the years?
Maybe this vocabulary was not taken seriously by the ninjas of the Sarutobi Clan at the beginning.
But it wasn't until Sarutobi Clan needed to move their clan, and when they were packing all kinds of luggage, belongings and some real estate, they suddenly looked back and realized that they had unknowingly owned so many properties that were completely inseparable from Konoha.
Especially because during the relocation process of the tribe, the assets that could have been 'default' owned were stripped back to the ownership of Hokage Building.
The Sarutobi people, who have suffered heavy losses, naturally cannot give up their only and huge 'legal' assets no matter what.
Hmm!
A huge asset that is enough to make most of Ninja World's ninjas moved!
Especially after Uchiha Jin blatantly acquired Land of Fire, this asset will definitely have unimaginable growth potential in the future.
This point.
From the rich people gathered from all over the Fire Country, it is not difficult to see that Konoha Village will become the de facto center of the Fire Country.
And once this war between Konoha and Kumogakure achieves a complete victory, Konoha will surely become the center of power of the entire Ninja World in the future.
Even though they have suffered some losses due to moving away from their clan, they can foresee that their future will be even better.
But.
Once Sarutobi Clan chooses to leave Konoha, the most they can retain are some liquid assets, and some assets that are difficult to liquidate cannot be sold in a short time.
It is a miracle that is hard to hope for if your wealth can be maintained at one-tenth of its original value after leaving Konoha.
And after leaving Konoha!
Although Sarutobi Clan seems to be far away from the front line, he has completely lost the protection of Konoha's tiger skin.
For the Sarutobi Clan, who has been protected by Sarutobi Hiruzen and has accumulated thousands of elite ninjas, no one knows the importance of safety to them better than them.
In the past few decades, the good life of "pampering and leisure" will fall into the difficult decision of being surrounded by wolves in the next moment. Follow Sarutobi Hiruzen, the young "Ninja Hero", to work hard all over again.
Isn't this just a joke?
It's safe...
Just a regional war with Kumogakure was enough for the Sarutobi ninjas to clearly realize that the nominal "strongest Hokage" alone could not protect them Sarutobi Clan in Ninja World.
So!
Why?
The mistake Sarutobi Hiruzen made will affect their entire Sarutobi Clan!
Why does the conscientious Sarutobi Clan have to pay for the past mistakes of Sarutobi Hiruzen!
I don't know if it's because Sarutobi Hiruzen has been in a high position for so long that he assumes that many things should be taken for granted.
But this is not the case!
Sarutobi Clan's ninja is not a fool. Naturally, he knows that Uchiha Jin's biggest target is Sarutobi Hiruzen who once oppressed Uchiha.
As for the Sarutobi Clan...
Although there is no way to be certain about this, in the face of such powerful men, one can only have the last bit of luck!
And Uchiha Clan's character shouldn't be...
But just when Sarutobi Hiruzen and all the Sarutobi tribesmen fell into an awkward silence, Mitokado Hayata, who was not far from Sarutobi Koji, suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face.
But...
As Sarutobi Koji and all the tribesmen looked at him with doubts, Mitokado Hayata smiled awkwardly, and then suddenly shouted loudly at the tribesmen behind him.
"The patriarch has an order!"
"Mitokado Clan has all of them, and they will all be incorporated into the vanguard force under Lord Hokage. Anyone who follows Sarutobi Hiruzen to rebel against the village will be expelled from the Mitokado Clan immediately!"
Whoosh!
If I heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's words before, Mitokado Clan and Utatane Clan could not hide their disappointment on their faces, and there was a sense of sadness that they had to be coerced into defecting.
So at this moment, Mitokado Hayata's words are like a glass of ice cream in Natsuhi, which is as refreshing as cooling your heart.
Although it was just a simple sentence, it conveyed an extremely crucial piece of information.
That was Mitokado Clan, who was originally a close friend of theirs, but now he was accepted by the new Hokage for the first time!
He also said, "Those who rebel against the village with Sarutobi Hiruzen will be immediately expelled from the Mitokado Clan." Doesn't this mean that Mitokado Clan and Sarutobi will completely break up on the same day?
As for the reason for this.
Except for those bloodline ninja clans that are full of geniuses, those who have been able to practice to the level they are today, these ordinary Chunin jounin, are naturally unique in intelligence analysis.
Therefore, it is not difficult to determine what Mitokado Homura did to make Mitokado Clan fully accepted by the village.
This also further proves their previous suspicion, that is, Uchiha Jin, Fifth Hokage, is really targeting Sarutobi Hiruzen. Whether they are Sarutobi Clan or Utatane Clan, they are just fish in the pond.
"Clan leader..."
Seemingly because of Mitokado Hayata's actions, Utatane Clan Longkuan, who was waiting anxiously aside, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and quickly stepped forward and looked at Utatane Koharu expectantly and said.
"Should we also follow Mitokado Clan to evacuate..."
At this moment, Utatane Clan Longkuan couldn't care less about Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had an extremely ugly face. He didn't even want to hear any bad news from Utatane Koharu. He secretly gathered all the Utatane Clan clansmen and gave them eyes full of expectations and 'undoubted'.
"This..."
Utatane Koharu is not sure what this means, but compared to Mitokado Homura who has always been hiding behind him, Utatane Koharu has always taken advantage of his age and gender to charge forward.
At this moment.
Even she regretted it as much as Mitokado Homura. It was impossible for Uchiha Jin's character to accept it, so at this moment she could only lower her head in silence.
This can't go on like this!
As the Utatane Clan tribesmen gathered around, Sarutobi Koji finally realized the seriousness of the problem. After exchanging glances with the tribesmen behind him, he solemnly came to Sarutobi Hiruzen again.
Snap!
Accompanied by the bright forehead and the clear sound of the earth, Sarutobi Koji knelt down in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen in an extremely standard "earth seat".
"Clan leader, Sarutobi Clan's ninja will never betray Konoha. For the sake of the Sarutobi Clan's century-old reputation... you... can you..."
"Please Lord Hokage!"
