Tsunade's pupils contracted slightly.
"There's such a thing?"
"The document is genuine."
Inoichi said, "The Nara, Hyuga, Yamanaka, Akimichi, and other clans have all examined it. The sealing patterns, paper material, signature marks—they all match."
"Ren formally impeached the Third under the authority of a founding shinobi clan."
"He first stated that when Kumogakure kidnapped an Uchiha child, Konoha had not dared to hold Kumogakure accountable and had instead wanted to sacrifice Itachi Uchiha for peace."
"He also stated that Kushina, Hinata Hyuga, and Yaonai had all been targeted by outside enemies within Konoha, proving that the Hokage Building could not even protect the village's children."
Tsunade's expression changed bit by bit.
Inoichi did not stop.
"He also listed the Third's failures in office."
"The Senju clan's reputation has faded away, while the Hyuga clan had to swallow their humiliation after being bullied by Kumogakure."
"Hatake Sakumo, the White Fang, had rendered outstanding service in battle, yet was driven to suicide by public opinion."
"Among the Three Legendary Ninja, Orochimaru defected, you left the village for many years, and Lord Jiraiya has spent his life wandering outside."
"The Uchiha were relocated, monitored, and suppressed, nearly driven to the brink of rebellion."
"Root grew too powerful, ANBU failed in its oversight, human experimentation ran rampant, and Danzo treated both First Hokage Cells and Kagami Uchiha's Sharingan as tools."
"Ren concluded by saying that Danzo was the evil everyone could see, while the Third was the source of all the chaos."
Tsunade remained silent for a long time.
The wind blew through the courtyard, stirring the golden hair across her forehead.
She did not immediately curse anyone, nor did she immediately defend Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Because every matter Inoichi had mentioned was like a needle piercing the deepest parts of her memory.
