This is a complete divestment of the power base of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo.
Without ANBU's old power, without Root's dark organization, Danzo can no longer be secretly protected by Hokage Building.
Shikaku Nara nodded and said, "These are necessary conditions, otherwise the abdication will be just a superficial move."
Inoichi Yamanaka also said, "Root must be reviewed, especially the members' spiritual seals and mission records."
Hyuga Hiashi said coldly, "Hyuga requested to participate in the relevant review, at least the part involving the plundering of Kumogakure and Kekkei Genkai can no longer be handled by Hokage Building alone."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face became darker, but he still did not speak.
Ren glanced at him for the last time.
"Third, I did not completely remove all your reputation, nor did I let Konoha convict you of a crime on the spot."
"This is the dignity Hizashi gives you, and it is also the last leeway Konoha all the tribes give you."
"Stop using it to cover up Danzo."
After saying that, Ren turned around and left.
He did not listen to Utatane Koharu's angry rebuke, nor did he pay attention to the livid look on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face, nor did he continue to vent his victory in the conference room.
For him, today's goal has been achieved.
Danzo was deposed, Root was banned, Hiruzen Sarutobi was forced to leave the core of Hokage power, and ANBU power must be regained in the hands of future Fifth Hokage.
Yaonai's account of being kidnapped will not end just because the third generation abdicated.
But the two most core people have been pulled down from the Konoha power center.
What Ren really wants to do is never get on Hokage Position.
What he wants is for Uchiha to no longer be manipulated, and for Hokage Building and Root to no longer be treated as chess pieces that can be sacrificed at will.
What he wants is for the Uchiha Clan to grow stronger and have its own force, trade routes, resources and dignity.
Hokage Office's door closed behind him.
The people in the conference room have not yet recovered from this power shock, but Konoha has begun to be completely ignited by another incident.
The news that Uchiha defeated Kumogakure spread.
It's not hearsay.
It's not a vague battle report.
Instead, the news of Land of Lightning and Kumogakure's unconditional surrender spread to the entire Konoha from the mouths of Hokage Building, Military Police Force, spies from all races, and border ninjas.
The first thing to explode was the ninja circle.
Ninja Academy teachers, Patrol Chunin, ANBU peripheral members, and young Jonin from all ethnic groups are all discussing this war.
"Kumogakure really surrendered?"
"It's not a truce, it's an unconditional surrender!"
"Daimyo of the Land of Lightning and Raikage have both signed. I heard that the compensation is so high that it's scary!"
"Six hundred and seventy-eight billion taels!"
"How much?"
"Six hundred and seventy-eight billion taels, cash silver, minerals, Chakra Metal, ninja materials, and military supplies are all taken into account, and Konoha is not allowed to be withheld, it all belongs to Uchiha."
When this number was announced, many ninjas were speechless.
When they perform an A-level mission, their reward ranges from a few hundred thousand taels to a million taels.
Even if it is S-Rank Mission, it is only a few million to tens of millions of taels.
What is the concept of six hundred and seventy-eight billion taels?
That's not mission reward.
That is the war reparations piled up from the national treasury, mines, military supplies and future trade routes after a country's backbone was broken.
Konoha The civilians on the street soon found out.
In the tea shop, several businessmen gathered around the table, their voices unable to contain their excitement.
"Uchiha will do business tax-free in Land of Lightning from now on?"
"I heard that not only is it tax-free, Land of Lightning cannot be blocked, and Kumogakure ninjas cannot accept missions against Uchiha."
"Then Uchiha caravan is going to make a fortune?"
"Getting rich? This is called getting rich? This is directly piercing a country's trade routes!"
"Who would have dared to think before that a Konoha ninja could force one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages to bow?"
The lady who sells dumplings on the street stopped her hands when she heard this and murmured, "Uchiha is so strong?"
Next to him, Patrol Chunin smiled bitterly.
"It's not that he's strong, he's that he's ridiculously strong."
"Ren Clan Leader is on the battlefield of Land of Lightning, fighting against Fourth Raikage and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer B alone."
"That is the strongest combination of Kumogakure."
"As a result, Raikage was beaten until he couldn't stand up, and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was also severely injured."
"Later Two-Tails Jinchuriki also joined the war. Two-Tails and Eight-Tails together Tailed Beast Transformation were suppressed by Ren Clan Leader's Mangekyo pupil power."
As soon as these words came out, all the civilians around him were dumbfounded.
Tailed Beasts, in the hearts of ordinary people is a disaster.
The scars of Nine-Tails' Attack are still in the memory of many people in Konoha. When Tailed Beasts is mentioned, many people's first reaction is fear.
But now, what they heard was that Uchiha Ren not only defeated Raikage, but also controlled Eight-Tails and Two-Tails one after another, allowing those ferocious Tailed Beasts to destroy Kumogakure's Chakra Cannon in turn.
"Tailed Beasts can also be controlled?"
"Sharingan can't cast Genjutsu? But that's Tailed Beasts!"
"Mangekyō Sharingan, I heard it's not an ordinary Sharingan."
"Uchiha Ren's eyes can't even hold Eight-Tails and Two-Tails."
The more the news spreads, the more detailed it becomes, and the more it spreads, the more terrifying it becomes.
Some people say that Ren relied on Mangekyo to suppress Eight-Tails's consciousness, causing Killer B to completely lose resistance.
Some people say that Two-Tails's Tailed Beast Bomb bombed into the mountains behind Kumogakure, blowing the Chakra Cannon position into ruins.
Some people say that Fourth Raikage's strongest Lightning Release Armor was punched to pieces by Ren, and his chest was sunken. In the end, he had to be supported by elder Kumogakure to sign the surrender treaty.
Some people say that after Uchiha Shrine dozens of disciples line up, everyone can exert their Near-Kage Level combat power. Fire Release, Lightning Release, and Genjutsu spread out, tearing open the Kumogakure defense line.
The more he spoke, the more Konoha became boiling.
Uchiha District Outside, many villagers looked at the area that they had deliberately avoided from a distance, and their eyes were completely different.
In the past, when they looked at Uchiha, they were wary, disgusted, and felt that Military Police Force was arrogant and difficult to deal with.
Now when they look at Uchiha, they are shocked, fearful, and finally realize that this ninja who was pinned down by Hokage Building on the edge of the village can actually crush one of Five Great Shinobi Villages with the power of his clan.
The shock in the ninja circle was even greater.
"I heard that Uchiha now has four pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan."
"Ren, Shisui, Fugaku, Itachi."
"How old is Itachi?"
"Eleven years old."
"Eleven-year-old Mangekyo? Is this still a human being?"
"Shisui was originally Body Flicker Shisui, Fugaku has been hiding it all these years, not to mention Ren, Kumogakure was just kneeled down."
"That is to say, Uchiha now has at least four Kage Level combat forces."
"Not at least, for sure."
"No wonder they can win Kumogakure."
"One ninja clan has four Kage Level, plus Temple Formation, Military Police Force elites, as well as Land of Lightning compensation and trade routes, who will dare to mess with Uchiha in the future?"
This discussion has not stopped.
From the Ninja Academy to the market, from various ethnic groups to the ANBU station, from outside Hokage Building to the surrounding areas of Uchiha District, everyone is talking about the Land of Lightning battlefield.
Talk about Ren's solo battle against Fourth Raikage and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.
Talk about Mangekyō Sharingan's strong defeat of Raikage.
Talk about Eight-Tails and Two-Tails being forced to bow their heads under the power of their eyes.
Talk about the unconditional surrender of Kumogakure and Land of Lightning.
Talking about 678 billion taels of war reparations.
It is also said that Uchiha now has four Mangekyō Sharingan holders, all of whom have the combat power of Kage Level. This is also the core reason why Uchiha can completely defeat Kumogakure.
