After hearing these words, the color on the Shimura Clan's clan leader's face completely disappeared.
He suddenly fell to his knees with a plop and hugged Hiruzen Sarutobi's thighs with both hands.
"Lord Hiruzen, please save Shimura Clan!"
"This assassination was just the initiative of Danzo and a few diehard elements."
"Shimura Clan Most people are not participating!"
"We are willing to hand over resources and accept Punishment, just to preserve the family inheritance!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned.
"You get up first."
Shimura Clan patriarch hugged him tighter.
"If you don't agree, I won't get up!"
"We are willing to compensate for the crime committed by Danzo."
"We are also willing to personally arrest the clan members who participated in the operation."
"As long as we can keep Shimura Clan, we are willing to do anything!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked down at the Shimura clan leader who was kneeling on the ground, his expression constantly changing.
He didn't want to get involved in the Shimura Clan's mess anymore.
But the other party kept holding his leg and refused to let go.
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura also looked at him.
Both of them also understood that if Shimura Clan was completely destroyed by Fang Xu, it might be their turn next.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was silent for a moment and finally spoke.
"I can intervene."
Shimura Clan leader suddenly raised his head.
"Really?"
"But you must obey the instructions completely."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked down at him.
"We cannot harbor diehards, we cannot continue to defend Danzo, and we cannot take any actions without authorization."
Shimura Clan leader nodded repeatedly.
"I promise!"
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura looked at each other and finally made a decision.
"We will also act in unison."
"Save your respective families first, and then consider other things."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.
He quickly formulated a corresponding solution.
"First, the families of the Sarutobi Clan, Utatane Koharu, and the family of Mitokado Homura must publicly declare their rejection of Shimura Danzō and distance themselves from his crimes."
"Second, each family must give up some of the benefits they obtained by relying on power in the past."
"The third and most important point is."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the Shimura Clan patriarch.
"Shimura Clan must immediately arrest everyone in the clan who supports Shimura Danzō, as well as the most loyal diehard members of Danzo."
"All of them are being imprisoned and awaiting the return of Tsunade and his entourage for execution."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice fell, and the living room became completely quiet.
Shimura Clan leader lowered his head, his expression extremely ugly.
90% property, 90% resources, 90% power.
This is almost equivalent to handing over all the wealth that Shimura Clan has accumulated over decades.
But he also knew in his heart that now was no longer the time for bargaining.
Shimura Danzō takes Root to assassinate Tsunade and Fang Xu.
As long as Fang Xu is willing, the entire Shimura Clan can be uprooted by him.
"Ninety percent, that's too much."
Shimura Clan leader gritted his teeth and spoke.
"We are willing to hand over all our frivolous wealth, and we are also willing to give up some of our properties and positions, but 90% of our resources and power will completely make the family lose its foothold."
His voice is very low.
When he said these words, the muscles in his face kept twitching.
Those industries, Ninja Tools, job channels and family positions are all things Shimura Clan has accumulated over decades.
After handing over 90%, even if Shimura Clan can continue to exist, it will fall from Konoha's top ninja family to an ordinary family.
Hiruzen Sarutobi put down the teacup in his hand.
"If foreign objects are gone, they can be accumulated again."
He looked at the Shimura Clan leader, and his tone did not loosen at all.
"As long as the people are still there, the inheritance is still there, and the ninjas are still there, Shimura Clan will have a chance to rise again."
Hiruzen Sarutobi Pause for a moment.
"But if Fang Xu and Tsunade are not satisfied, Shimura Clan won't even have a chance to accumulate again."
After saying these words, the Shimura Clan patriarch's body visibly froze.
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura also did not speak.
They know very well that what Hiruzen Sarutobi said is true.
With Fang Xu's current strength, there is no need to worry about the ninja clan Pokémon League.
Tsunade is about to become Fourth Hokage.
Once Fang Xu decides to liquidate, Shimura Clan has no possibility of resistance.
Shimura Clan patriarch closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.
"I accept."
These three short words seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth.
He opened his eyes, his face was full of pain.
"Ninety percent of the property, resources and family power, I will arrange for someone to sort out the list and hand them all over to Lady Tsunade."
"I just hope that Lord Fang Xu and Lady Tsunade can leave Shimura Clan a way to survive."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly.
"As long as you complete the disposal as required, they will not kill them all."
Shimura Clan Patriarch breathed a sigh of relief.
But before he could sit down, he spoke again.
"One more thing."
"Say."
"Shimura Danzō has been operating within the clan for many years and has a lot of diehard members."
Shimura Clan Patriarch's face became even more ugly.
"I can order their arrest, but it will be difficult to accomplish it in a short time with the Shimura Clan's manpower alone."
"If the news leaks out in advance, Danzo's diehard elements are likely to flee Konoha or even fight to the death."
He looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"I hope Sarutobi Clan, Utatane Family and Mitokado Family can allocate manpower to assist Shimura Clan in arresting these people."
Utatane Koharu's fingers lightly tapped the table.
Of course she didn't want to.
But now the four families are tied together.
If Shimura Clan cannot hand over the answer sheet as soon as possible, Fang Xu is likely to be the next target of liquidation.
"Okay."
Utatane Koharu nodded.
"The arrest of Danzo diehards is also a statement of attitude to Tsunade and Fang Xu."
Mitokado Homura pushed up his glasses.
"We will mobilize the best members of the family to cooperate with the Shimura Clan."
Hiruzen Sarutobi also nodded.
"The sooner this is done, the better."
"Tsunade and Fang Xu have not returned Konoha."
"We must complete all the arrangements before they come back."
Shimura Clan Patriarch stood up immediately.
"Then start now."
Several people quickly left the living room.
The ninjas of the four major families quickly gathered.
Sarutobi Clan called in Elite Jonin and a large number of Chunin, Utatane Family and Mitokado Family also sent out ninjas who are good at sensing, tracking and blocking.
Shimura Clan provides the family list and residential distribution.
In less than half an hour, the locations of all targets were determined.
"There are three Danzo diehards in that house in the East District."
A Shimura ninja reported in a low voice.
"One of them is Jonin, and the other two are responsible for contacting external Intelligence."
Sarutobi Clan's Elite Jonin raised his hand.
"Seal the surrounding area first."
Several ninjas dispersed at the same time.
They didn't make much noise and completely surrounded the house.
The Shimura ninjas in the hospital fluctuated from Frisk to Chakra and rushed out of the room immediately.
"Who?"
As soon as he pulled out Short Sword, three Kunai pinned his sleeve.
