What!
How could you do this!
I am doing this all for Konoha, and I will endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden to preserve my strength!
The most important thing is to preserve the future of the Sarutobi Clan and the clansmen whose blood is thicker than water standing in front of him at this moment, so he made such an extremely difficult decision against his will.
Sarutobi Hiruzen At this moment, his rickety body suddenly trembled, and his eyes looking at the people in front of him were full of disbelief, as if the world had suddenly changed into the illusion that things are right and people are different.
Betrayed!
Completely betrayed by his tribesmen whom he had never had any doubt about before!
Maybe I was still immersed in the glory of the past and couldn't help myself, but after the cold water was poured down earlier, how could Sarutobi Hiruzen not see what the situation in front of me represents now.
Yes!
Although Sarutobi Koji talks nicely, his standard "Toshita-za" posture is also extremely respectful, which perfectly reflects the results of the Sarutobi Clan's elite education.
But in front of this face that felt both familiar and unfamiliar to him, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart felt as if it had fallen into an abyss, and a deep feeling of powerlessness and sadness could not help but surge into his heart.
"Go and ask for Uchiha Jin?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but smile, but this smile was uglier than crying.
"Yes!"
Sarutobi Koji seemed to be completely 'attention' to Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression at this moment. Instead, he seemed to interpret this obvious interrogative sentence as a statement context, and a hint of flattery suddenly appeared on his shiny face.
"I, Sarutobi Clan, have always dedicated myself to Konoha. Now I just have some misunderstandings with Yu...Lord Hokage. If Lord Hiruzen can explain it, the misunderstanding will definitely be resolved!"
Sarutobi Koji smiled more and more excitedly as he spoke, seeming to have full confidence in his wise decision.
Of course.
With an inexplicable and terrifying tremor, Sarutobi Koji finally seemed to realize that he seemed to be dancing on the tip of another knife at this moment.
However, due to the inherent impression accumulated over the years, Sarutobi Koji still felt a sense of courage in his heart for this old man who had always protected the family and the patriarch.
"Sarutobi Clan's century-old reputation must not be destroyed in our hands. How could we choose to escape when Konoha is in the most critical moment!"
Sarutobi Koji's face was full of righteousness at this moment, as if he was ready to give his heart to Konoha at any time.
But the next moment.
"What's more!"
The awe-inspiring look on Sarutobi Koji's face instantly collapsed, and he moved closer to Sarutobi Hiruzen in a flattering manner and continued to speak.
"With Uchiha's character...Hiruzen, you may not have a chance in the future... so please bear with me for the time being, and I will wait for you in the future..."
Sarutobi Koji's words were intermittent, but his slightly clenched fist made slight gestures in the direction of Hokage's camp.
With such poor acting skills and a plan full of flaws, how could Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been in power for many years, be fooled so easily?
Nonsense!
For a plan like Sarutobi Koji that is full of mistakes, it would be okay if the target object is Danzo, but what if the target is changed to Uchiha Jin?
What a joke!
Ever since Sarutobi Hiruzen announced in public that he would lead Sarutobi Clan to evacuate, it can be said that Konoha now has no place for him.
Especially what we have to face now is Uchiha Jin!
After experiencing several confrontations during this period, Sarutobi Hiruzen had a somewhat clear idea of Uchiha Jin's personality.
Although the new Shura of Uchiha has a completely different growth experience from the original Asura of the Ninja World, Uchiha Jin and Uchiha Madara have almost the same thing in common.
That is Uchiha!
Power first, confidence and arrogance!
Although Uchiha Jin's behavior is completely different from Uchiha Madara's, the arrogance derived from blood and bone marrow is completely the same.
If it were Ninja World, any one of the village's shadows, faced with the defection of a large-scale ninja clan leader in the village, would most likely choose to compromise if there was a chance of recovery.
But Uchiha Jin won't!
On the contrary, Uchiha Jin is looking forward to this situation extremely.
This extremely arrogant guy didn't take Sarutobi Clan seriously at all. He just wanted to find an excuse to expel Sarutobi Clan, and after settling the matter of the Ninja World war, he would go back to settle the accounts.
So.
These words that asked Sarutobi Hiruzen to beg Uchiha Jin were clearly trying to push him to a dead end.
Only by waiting for the entire Konoha to experience a catastrophe, and for Sarutobi Hiruzen to appear as a savior again, can it be possible to turn things around.
At the same time, it was only at that time that Sarutobi Hiruzen could arrogantly point at the high-ranking ninjas who had betrayed him and cursed them.
You are all a bunch of blind bitches. In the end, you are not going to rely on me, the strongest Hokage, to take charge of the overall situation!
This was the only reason that allowed him to keep going, but the most beautiful plan in his ideals had not yet been implemented. The completely unexpected change in front of him left Sarutobi Hiruzen completely confused.
Are you still human?
And the one who had the same feeling as Sarutobi Hiruzen at this moment, and even added a hint of regret on top of it, was naturally Utatane Koharu who was also surrounded by tribesmen at this moment.
The dusk is dim and the setting sun is like blood.
The autumn breeze with a hint of coolness blew slowly by, and the strong and healthy ninjas had three completely different feelings at this moment.
The uncontrollable joy naturally comes from the Mitokado Clan. While silently distancing himself from the Sarutobi Clan camp, he suppresses the urge to raise the corners of his mouth.
The most solemn person is naturally Sarutobi Clan, who is all in "Tugeza" at this moment. With such a tragic posture, it is difficult not to make people wonder if they are going to commit seppuku collectively.
But the one with the most complex and intense emotions at the moment was Utatane Clan. After all, after having the classic reference Mitokado Clan, they naturally placed all their hopes on Utatane Koharu.
Mitokado Clan can betray, why can't we Utatane Clan, why should we escape in embarrassment with Sarutobi Hiruzen, a loser!
But as the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the despair.
All the anxious Utatane Clan clan members cast their extravagant eyes on their family leader, but Utatane Koharu, who knew that he had no way out, silently walked to Sarutobi Hiruzen's side and then lowered his head, trying to express his choice with silence.
"Clan leader!"
One of the Utatane Clan's jonin growled at Utatane Koharu with some reluctance, trying to find some room for him to save the situation.
But at this moment, the response to these Utatane Clan people was still just the silence of Utatane Koharu staring at the ground, until...
Bang! Bang!
As two thick plumes of smoke dissipated, the two silhouettes of Body Flicker Technique arrived instantly attracted everyone's attention, and everyone who was already extremely nervous about the situation immediately became on guard.
"Uchiha!"
Looking at the iconic Flame Fan badge, everyone in the audience became more and more nervous. Could it be that Uchiha chose to deal with them here.
This kind of crazy conjecture may be fanciful to others, but thinking of the Fifth Hokage who has always been unexpected, all the Sarutobi and Utatane Clan clan members couldn't help but secretly hold on to Kunai.
At this moment, Habara and Tunan, who were standing proudly in front of everyone, did not have the slightest trace of panic on their faces. Instead, they glanced at the people in front of them with a kind of disdain and contempt.
"Under the order of Fifth Hokage, all personnel who defected with Sarutobi Hiruzen are ordered to evacuate hundreds of miles from the Konoha camp before sunrise. Anyone who overstays will be shot to death!"
The murderous words seemed to chill the air a bit, causing everyone present to tremble slightly.
Only Mitokado Hayata suddenly realized that his group seemed to have abandoned the secrets and turned to the light. He immediately let go of Kunai, who was secretly holding it, and walked forward eagerly.
"Master Habara, under the order of the clan leader, shall we follow you two to the camp?"
Facing the sudden change in Mitokado Hayata's face, Uchiha Habara showed a trace of obvious disgust on his face, but out of adherence to his own duties, he still said in a deep voice with some disgust at this moment.
"Konoha has no laws that implicate the tribe. Those who are unwilling to follow Sarutobi Hiruzen to rebel against the village should report to the forward troops immediately!"
"Yes! Yes! Let's leave now!"
Although Uchiha Habara's words were extremely rude, at this moment Mitokado Hayata was a little ecstatic and immediately called the clan members to prepare for their evacuation.
"Hunta!"
Facing the sudden scene, Sarutobi Koji, who originally felt that he still had some time, immediately panicked.
At this moment, he couldn't care less about continuing to plead with Sarutobi Hiruzen to surrender to Uchiha Jin. When he saw Mitokado Clan starting to mobilize for evacuation, a flash of light shot straight into the sky.
Unwilling to follow Sarutobi Hiruzen to rebel against the village?
Sarutobi Koji felt that everything in front of him was beginning to slow down at this moment, and then quickly returned to its normal state, and his body involuntarily turned around and knelt in the direction of Uchiha Habara.
"I, Sarutobi Koji, am loyal to Konoha with every passing day, and I will never follow anyone to betray Konoha!"
If Sarutobi Koji's gesture wasn't a bit wasteful at this moment, his righteous words of sacrificing his life for righteousness would have some credibility.
"This..."
Uchiha Habara couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and he didn't react for a while.
Say it according to your heart.
Uchiha Habara certainly hopes that these people in front of him will move as far away as possible. Having followed Uchiha Jin to where he is now, he is more confident than ever before.
Uchiha Clan is invincible!
Aren't they just a few little ninjas...
After Uchiha, the great Fifth Hokage, suppresses Ninja World, it will not be easy to deal with these clowns.
The mission of Uchiha Habara and Uchiha Tonan on this trip is to expel these unsightly guys as soon as possible and put the betrayal of the Sarutobi Clan and Utatane Clan to bed.
The main one is just one, Uchiha is justifiable!
But what is happening now? Under Uchiha Habara's stern face, a restless heart has already collapsed.
No one told him how to handle this situation!
Why don't you just get out of here and get out? Why do you think you are going to betray me in front of yourself now? Do you think I will believe you so easily?
It's just that although Uchiha Habara wants to kick Sarutobi Koji away in front of him, as a serious Uchiha tribesman, especially at this moment, he is also responsible for the duties of the frontline commander's escort and messenger.
At this moment, Uchiha Habara suddenly remembered the order he had just issued, which was to expel the guys who followed Sarutobi Hiruzen and Utatane Koharu.
But at this moment, Sarutobi Koji's attitude cannot be regarded as following Sarutobi Hiruzen...
Therefore.
Although Uchiha Habara despises Sarutobi Koji's cowardly attitude, out of respect for his own responsibilities, he still said it coldly at this moment.
"Report to the forward troops!"
"Yes!"
There was an inexplicable surprise on Sarutobi Koji's face. Randomly had no intention of continuing to greet Sarutobi Hiruzen, and immediately called the tribesmen behind him to move in the direction of the forward troops.
"Master Hiruzen, I'm sorry!"
A jonin of the Sarutobi Clan looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen hesitantly at this moment, but the next moment he turned around firmly and caught up with Sarutobi Koji.
As more and more Mito Clan and Sarutobi people left, Utatane Clan, who was in a state of anxiety with Utatane Koharu, could no longer sit still.
"Sorry, Master Koharu!"
This Utatane Clan jounin's speech seemed to be a signal, and immediately more than ten Utatane Clan ninjas followed Sarutobi Koji's footsteps.
Tap~tap~tap~tap~
Accompanied by panicked and hurried footsteps, the originally crowded playground suddenly became much emptyer.
The only ones left at this moment were the slightly confused Uchiha Habara and Uchiha Tonan, as well as Sarutobi Hiruzen and Utatane Koharu, as well as a few jounin who were in the early single digits behind them.
Well...
After all, he has been in a high position for so many years. Although the power in the past has been used to control talents from outside the clan, there are still some die-hard loyalists within the clan.
But feeling the sadness of being completely abandoned by most of the tribe makes Sarutobi Hiruzen unable to feel happy at this moment.
Whoosh!
After Uchiha Habara reacted, he did not feel any pity for Sarutobi Hiruzen. Instead, he indifferently threw a Kunai in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Please leave Konoha's camp immediately. You are not welcome in Konoha of Uchiha!"
"Konoha of Uchiha..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed miserably, and the sense of frustration from such a complete defeat made his breathing a little unsmooth at the moment.
I turned around and glanced at Utatane Koharu beside me, and a feeling of relief suddenly came to my heart!
"Haru-chan, it's good to have you!"
"Hiruzen, I believe you can do it!"
Utatane Koharu's face was slightly stiff, but at this moment he still took a decisive step closer and supported Sarutobi Hiruzen, who seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
But when Utatane Koharu looked back at the Utatane Clan tribesmen who were leaving in the distance, he vaguely seemed to see the proud and shameless figure of Mitokado Homura, but a trace of deep regret flashed through her dead fish-like eyes.
I'm so stupid, really...
