Utatane Koharu saw everyone's hesitation and immediately seized the opportunity.
"You all think clearly!"
"Hiruzen has made mistakes. He can be held accountable, his power can be restricted, and he can be made accountable to all ethnic groups."
"Removing Hokage is no small matter."
"Konoha has just experienced the disappearance of Yaonai, and the Kumogakure war has just ended. Countries outside are watching us. Once Hokage is dismissed at this time, Konoha will immediately fall into turmoil."
Mitokado Homura also said in a deep voice, "Hokage Position Once there is a vacancy, who will decide the candidates for the fifth generation? Land of Fire Daimyo How to explain it? ANBU, Barrier Team, border defense, and dispatch of various ethnic groups, who will take over?"
"Ren, you don't have to care about these things, but Konoha can't care about them."
The expressions of several Jonin were shaken again.
They hate Danzo and agree with Ren's accusation. But if they really want to pull Third Hokage down from that position with one vote, the weight in many people's hands is too heavy.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sat there, not defending himself.
He knows very well that the more he talks now, the more ugly it will become.
He looked at the hesitant Jonin, saw the pain in their eyes, and saw their disappointment in him.
This look made him more uncomfortable than Ren's question.
Ren glanced at everyone, his tone was not urging, but it was more oppressive than urging.
"You can continue to hesitate."
"But I said it first."
"Danzo must disappear completely from the Konoha power system, and Root must be banned."
"If Hiruzen Sarutobi continues to sit in the position of Hokage, all the recognition today will become empty words."
"Whether you want a Third Hokage who will continue to cover up the old ministry and delay reforms, or a Konoha who can start over, choose for yourself."
In the conference room, many people lowered their heads.
No one dares to say that Ren is alarmist.
Because Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo are too deeply involved.
As long as the third generation is still sitting in the position of Hokage, it will be difficult to truly separate the ANBU, Root old people, and Hokage factions.
At this time, Hizashi Hyuga, who had been silent, stood up.
He is not the head of the Hyuga Main House family, but he is a very special person in Konoha Jonin.
In the past, he had always respected the third generation and recognized Will of Fire. He was even unwilling to conflict directly with Hokage Building on many village affairs.
Many people did not expect that he would be the first to express his stance.
Hizashi Hyuga slowly raised his head, Byakugan was not turned on, but the sound was very stable.
"The third generation of adults once protected Konoha. I will not deny this."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at him, his eyes moving slightly.
Hizashi Hyuga continued, "Three Shinobi World wars, the village can survive, and the achievements of three generations of adults cannot be erased with just one impeachment."
"Therefore, I do not support the complete dismissal of the Third Generation as a sinner, nor do I support writing off all his achievements over the years."
Utatane Koharu had just had a glimmer of hope on his face, but Hizashi Hyuga suppressed it at the next sentence.
"But I support the Third Generation's abdication."
Everyone in the conference room looked at him.
The sound of Hizashi Hyuga is heavier.
"Konoha There have indeed been too many problems over the years."
"Hinata Hyuga was almost kidnapped by Kumogakure, Hyuga clan swallowed the humiliation, Yaonai was taken away again by Konoha, Root and Kumogakure are unclearly involved, and Danzo also hides Sharingan and Hashirama's Cells of Kagami Uchiha."
"These things cannot be covered up with just one sentence for the sake of the village."
"If the third generation continues to sit on Hokage Position, the ninjas in the village will not feel at ease, Uchiha will not feel at ease, and Hyuga will not feel at ease either."
He looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, his tone still showed respect, but he did not give in.
"Third generation sir, please abdicate your throne and make way for someone worthy of your honour."
"Preserve your achievements in protecting Konoha, and also give Konoha a chance to get over these mistakes."
These words seemed to give a step forward to all those who were hesitant.
This is not to completely deny the third generation.
It's not about nailing Hiruzen Sarutobi as a sinner.
Rather, it admits that he has merit but also admits that he is no longer fit to continue to govern.
Shikaku Nara slowly exhaled, raised his head and said, "I agree with Hizashi's opinion."
"The words impeachment and recall carry too much weight and can easily cause divisions in the village."
"However, Third's continued power has indeed been unable to calm the concerns of all ethnic groups, nor can it promote the liquidation of Root."
"I support Third's resignation and Konoha's re-election of Fifth Hokage."
Inoichi Yamanaka was silent for a moment and nodded.
"Yamanaka Clan supports Third's abdication."
Choza Akimichi glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi and spoke in a low voice.
"Akimichi clan also supports."
Hyuga Hiashi then spoke, with a colder tone than Hizashi.
"Hyuga clan supports Third's abdication and demands a re-investigation into the kidnapping of Hinata by Kumogakure."
Inuzuka Clan's Jonin gritted his teeth and finally bowed his head.
"Inuzuka Clan... Support the re-election of Fifth Hokage."
"Aburame Clan supports."
"Nara clan supports."
"Yamanaka Clan supports."
"Akimichi clan supports."
"Hyuga clan supports."
One voice after another sounded.
Those Jonin who were still hesitant at first saw Major Clans expressing their stance one after another, and finally understood that the general trend has changed.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's past achievements are still there, but the foundation for his continued rule has been completely cut off by Ren's sword.
Utatane Koharu's face turned pale and his voice trembled.
"You... you really want to force Hiruzen to abdicate at this time?"
Mitokado Homura also clenched his fists, but could not find any words that could turn the situation around.
Because it's not just Uchiha.
Hyuga, Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi, Inuzuka, Aburame have all expressed their stance.
Even if the old departments of Sarutobi clan and Hokage are unwilling, they cannot stop this general trend.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was sitting on the main seat, his face was ashen, and the pipe in his hand was almost split.
He wanted to refute.
I want to say that I can still hold on to Konoha.
I want to say that Ren put the problem very clearly.
But he looked at Danzo half-kneeling on the ground, looked at the heavy and determined expressions of Clan Leader of all races, and in the end could not utter a single word.
He no longer had the strength to reply.
Ren looked at this scene without showing a winner's smile, but said coldly, "Since Jonin Class and the representatives of all ethnic groups have reached an agreement, the result is very clear."
"Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, will resign with immediate effect."
"Konoha re-elects Fifth Hokage."
Utatane Koharu still wanted to speak, but Ren's eyes directly pressed on her.
"In addition, I put forward the final conditions."
"First, after Hiruzen Sarutobi leaves office, ANBU may not be transferred in any form, and the old ministry shall not be used to interfere in Hokage Building's government affairs."
"Second, Root is immediately banned. All Root members are lifted from the personal command system of Danzo and accepted for joint review."
"Third, from now on, Konoha will no longer be allowed to have a private dark organization like Root."
"ANBU can only obey the jurisdiction of the official Hokage and can no longer become a knife in the hands of Elders Council, Hokage's old department or any individual."
"Fourth, Danzo is submitted to Uchiha Military Police Force and Konoha Interrogation Department for joint review. All evidence involving Uchiha Kekkei Genkai, Yaonai's disappearance, Orochimaru human experimentation and Hashirama's Cells will be disclosed to representatives of all ethnic groups."
After suppressing these few items, many people in the conference room breathed a little heavier.
