Uchiha Yato's rapid-fire exchange with Hiruzen Sarutobi just now had not been meaningless.
In fact, he had had a clear purpose and strategy.
Through this method, Uchiha Yato had tried to guide Hiruzen Sarutobi into the rhythm he had set.
No matter how perfect Hiruzen Sarutobi's answers were, or how clear-headed he was while answering the questions,
as long as Uchiha Yato remained in control as the questioner, Hiruzen Sarutobi would eventually reveal some flaw or slip.
Because even the smartest person, after answering thousands of questions in succession, could hardly avoid giving an answer that skirted the edge of ambiguity at least once.
And that ambiguous answer was precisely what Uchiha Yato wanted to show Tobirama Senju.
Once a seed of doubt took root in someone's mind, it was difficult to erase or dispel.
Since Uchiha Yato had already decided to make Konoha's situation even worse, he intended to take things to the extreme.
His goal was not merely to expose Hiruzen Sarutobi's flaws, but to drain all of Konoha's resources.
That way, Konoha would fall into an unprecedented predicament, which was exactly the outcome Uchiha Yato wanted.
After all, a village could be rebuilt after it was lost, but losing the support of Tobirama Senju and Hashirama Senju meant losing immeasurable assistance.
Moreover, there were quite a few enemies of Konoha here. They would further embellish the story Uchiha Yato had told today.
Especially stories passed from mouth to mouth—Uchiha Yato believed deeply in the power of public opinion.
He could guarantee that after this, Konoha's popular support and unity would plummet to rock bottom.
Of course, by then, Uchiha Yato would have already left this world with the Uchiha Clan and those he cared about.
Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to drag Uchiha Yato down with him
