Mitokado Homura also stood up.
"Konoha is not the Uchiha clan association."
"There are strict conditions for the appointment and removal of Hokage, which requires confirmation from multiple parties including Elders Council, Jonin Class, Major Clans, Land of Fire and Daimyo."
"Even if there is to be impeachment, there must be enough signatures, formal procedures, and corresponding qualifications."
Utatane Koharu stared at Ren with a sharp voice.
"Uchiha Clan is just the Konoha family, why should they unilaterally initiate impeachment?"
"You are not qualified!"
Many Jonin looked at Ren subconsciously.
This is indeed the key.
No matter how strong the Ninja clan is, they can't remove Hokage with just one word.
Otherwise Konoha would have been in chaos long ago.
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not speak, but his eyes also fell on Ren.
Ren faced all the doubts, but his expression did not waver at all.
"Qualification?"
He raised his hand and took out a document wrapped in an old-style cover from his arms.
The cover has turned yellow and the edges have been worn away by time, but it is extremely well preserved.
Ren Put the paperwork in the center of the long table.
"See for yourself."
Shikaku Nara was the closest and reached out to take it.
He unfolded the document and looked at the first line, and his expression changed.
Inoichi Yamanaka leaned over and his eyes suddenly froze.
After Hyuga Hiashi took it, Byakugan shrank slightly.
Choza Akimichi looked at the mark at the end of the document and his throat rolled.
"This is..."
The document quickly spread around the conference room.
Everyone who saw the content had their expressions change uncontrollably.
The paper material, the seals Pattern, Konoha's seals from the founding period, and the family rights clauses jointly agreed upon by Senju and Uchiha all match.
More importantly, there are two personal signatures at the end of the document.
First Hokage, Hashirama.
Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's fingers froze slightly when he took the document.
As he looked at the content above, the wrinkles on his face seemed to suddenly become much deeper.
This document is not a forgery.
It's also impossible to forge.
The seal type above is First Konoha's special seal for internal affairs documents, which was later signed and confirmed by Second Hokage personally.
The content of the document is clearly written.
When Konoha was founded, Hashirama felt guilty for the split between Madara Uchiha and Konoha. In order to prevent Hokage's power from completely deviating from the original intention of the village in the future, Uchiha Clan was given the authority to impeach Hokage under extreme circumstances.
The subsequent Senju clan also enjoys the same rights.
It's just that this authority has been dusty for a long time and has long been forgotten by everyone.
When the document was returned to Hiruzen Sarutobi, no one on both sides of the long table dared to speak easily.
That was not an ordinary family scroll, nor was it a family rule written by Uchiha for himself to read, but an old covenant of internal affairs left over from Konoha's founding period.
The signature of Hashirama is at the front, the supplementary signature of Tobirama Senju is at the back, the seal Pattern, the paper material, and the seal format are all consistent with the early documents of Konoha.
Shikaku Nara felt his forehead tense up, Inoichi Yamanaka's expression also changed, and even Choza Akimichi, who had always been calm, stared at the document for a long time.
No one expected that Uchiha Clan would actually hold such a thing in his hand.
Ren stood on the side of the long table with a calm tone.
"This document was not produced temporarily by me for today's impeachment."
"After I succeeded Clan Leader, I checked Naka Shrine and the clan's old library, and when sorting out the family's ancient books, I accidentally discovered that it was sealed deep in the old volume."
"I didn't use it at that time because Konoha wasn't bad enough that I had to activate the Creation Village Old Testament."
When he said this, his eyes swept over Hiruzen Sarutobi, Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, and then landed on Danzo who was half kneeling on the ground with Chakra sealed.
"But now, the traces of Sharingan, Hashirama's Cells of Danzo, human experiments, and Kumogakure's kidnapping of Yaonai are all here."
"This Old Testament can be used as the legal basis for impeaching Hokage."
Mitokado Homura stood up suddenly, staring at Ren behind the lenses.
"Uchiha Ren, stop talking so loudly!"
"You took out this Old Testament that has been dusty for many years, and then proposed to remove Hiruzen in public. Do you really think that everyone can't see your purpose?"
"Uchiha just defeated Kumogakure and forced Land of Lightning to sign a surrender treaty. Now you want to impeach Hokage. Don't you just want to use your military exploits to force the palace and pave the way for you to get involved in Hokage Position?"
As soon as these words came out, many Jonin's nerves became tense.
They are afraid of the darkness torn from Danzo, and they also admit that Hiruzen Sarutobi has failed in his supervision. However, if Ren's real purpose is to pull Third Hokage down and then let Uchiha take over Konoha, then the nature of this matter will completely change.
A Uchiha Clan Head who had just knelt down Kumogakure, a man who controlled Uchiha Shrine, Military Police Force, business routes and Land of Lightning compensation, if he really wants to fight for Hokage Position, the whole Konoha cannot be ignored.
Ren looked at Mitokado Homura, but his voice didn't waver at all.
"Mitokado Homura, let me speak clearly in front of Konoha Major Clans Clan Leader, Jonin Class, Hokage and Elders Council."
"I, Uchiha Ren, have no intention of competing for Hokage Position."
"I will not support anyone Uchiha Clan to fight for Hokage Position after this impeachment."
"Today's matter only concerns whether Hiruzen Sarutobi is still qualified to continue sitting in Hokage's position, and does not involve Uchiha's seizure of power."
He raised his hand and pressed it on the table, speaking so solemnly that everyone could hear him clearly.
"This sentence is witnessed by everyone present."
In the conference room, the suspicion that had been pressing down on everyone's minds was abruptly lifted by this sentence.
Shikaku Nara raised his head and looked at Ren again.
Inoichi Yamanaka let out a breath, and Choza Akimichi's tense palms relaxed a little.
Hyuga Hiashi looked at Ren with more complicated eyes.
Many Jonin couldn't help but have an idea in their minds.
If Ren really wants to fight, he may not be ineligible.
After he took over Uchiha, he just turned a ninja clan who was watched by Hokage Building, rejected by the villagers, and feared by all clans into a behemoth that can suppress Kumogakure by one clan.
Uchiha Shrine's strength skyrocketed in his hands, and Nanami, Tekka, Itachi and others were transformed one by one.
He himself defeated Fourth Raikage head-on, suppressed Eight-Tails and Two-Tails, and forced Land of Lightning and Kumogakure to surrender unconditionally.
Such a record, placed in any ninja village, is enough to become a capital to compete for the highest power.
But he chose to express his position in public, saying that he would not fight, nor would he promote Uchiha.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face finally regained some composure.
He looked at Ren, then at the Old Testament of Creation Village on the table, and spoke slowly.
"Since you have produced the documents confirmed by First and the second generation, and also stated in public that you have no intention to fight for Hokage Position, then according to the Old Testament, you can state the reasons for impeachment."
"Konoha all races and Jonin Class are here."
"If you want to impeach me, just explain the reasons clearly."
Ren nodded.
"Okay."
He did not turn over the scroll or produce new evidence, he just looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said word by word,
"First thing, let me mention the kidnapping of Uchiha by Kumogakure."
"At that time, Kumogakure Delegation committed a crime in Konoha and kidnapped Uchiha's child. After the incident was exposed, Kumogakure not only did not plead guilty, but instead threatened Konoha with a strong stance."
"And Konoha Leadership's first reaction at that time was not to hold Kumogakure accountable, not to protect fellow villagers, not to defend Konoha Ninja's dignity."
"What you are discussing is to hand over Itachi Uchiha."
"Use a Uchiha child in exchange for Kumogakure concessions in exchange for the so-called peace."
