Starting Out With Indra's Chakra

Hiruzen Sarutobi roared. If Uchiha Liu Feng brought down those two swords, at least dozens of Konoha Ninja would be killed or wounded.

More importantly, if Uchiha Liu Feng truly caused casualties, they would have no choice but to declare him a Rogue Ninja.

Although Uchiha Liu Feng had already crossed Hiruzen Sarutobi's bottom line, at this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi could not allow him to become a Rogue Ninja.

Liu Feng paid no heed to Hiruzen Sarutobi's roar. Did saying stop mean he had to stop?

Suddenly, Liu Feng's pupils contracted slightly. The sword in his right hand stopped mid-swing, but the one in his left hand still came down.

More than a dozen ninjas were instantly killed.

"Why did you stop? I thought you would kill me too."

Tsunade stood there with her head lowered. The Susanoo Sword hovered above her head, yet she seemed not to notice it—or perhaps she simply did not care.

"Tsunade, I consider you a friend. I hope you do not stand in my way. Otherwise, I will act against you as well."

Liu Feng spoke calmly.

"Why? With such a great enemy before us, why are you still fighting among yourselves? Why?"

Tsunade's voice carried a sob. To be honest, this was the first time Liu Feng had seen this side of her.

"Why? Yeah, I also do not know why some idiots insist on provoking me when they know I do not have the best temper."

Liu Feng had wanted to complete the mission as well, but what was with Danzo's sarcastic nonsense? Was he deliberately trying to provoke him?

Someone else might have endured it, but Liu Feng would not. He was already this strong, so why should he put up with it?

"Uchiha Liu Feng, your crimes are unforgivable."

Looking at the Konoha Ninja killed by Uchiha Liu Feng, the anger in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes could no longer be restrained.

"Think this through. You still have room to turn back. Once you make a move, I truly will have no choice but to kill you."

Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who could no longer hold himself back from acting, Liu Feng spoke in a low voice.

A drizzling rain began to fall from the sky. The dark, gloomy heavens showed not a trace of sunlight, as though all light had been shut out, leaving only darkness.

"You win, Uchiha Liu Feng."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's hunched body looked so aged, as though he had grown several years older in an instant.

Uchiha Liu Feng had killed more than a dozen Konoha Ninja, committing an unforgivable crime. Yet Hiruzen Sarutobi ultimately held back and stopped the Konoha Ninja who wanted to attack Uchiha Liu Feng.

It was all for Konoha. If they completely fell out with Uchiha Liu Feng, Konoha would have no chance left. It might even be destroyed by the Three Ninja Villages Allied Forces.

"I knew you would surrender. Really, why did it have to come to this? Do you know those thirteen ninjas died for nothing? You caused their deaths."

Liu Feng dispelled Susanoo and walked over to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Uchiha Liu Feng, you are twisting right and wrong. These people died by your hand. Do you think everyone is blind?"

Jiraiya rushed over furiously.

"But it was also because of you. If you had surrendered earlier, would they have died? No, they would not have. They all died for Danzo."

Liu Feng gave Jiraiya a cold glance, then walked past him toward Danzo.

"Danzo, Danzo. Hiruzen Sarutobi has abandoned you for Konoha. Even if I kill you in front of everyone now, no one will avenge you. How do you feel about that?"

Liu Feng, who had worn a cold expression moments ago, suddenly smiled and asked Danzo with narrowed eyes.

In many people's eyes, Liu Feng seemed like a demon. Hatred? No, they were afraid of him.

Danzo said nothing. He merely stared fixedly at Uchiha Liu Feng. He would not surrender without a fight. In fact, he was considering how to kill Uchiha Liu Feng in a single blow.

"Stop with those little tricks. You are not qualified to kill me."

"But do not worry, I will not kill you either. Konoha still needs a pile of dog shit like you. Otherwise, who would keep Hiruzen Sarutobi in check?"

Liu Feng did not even bother hiding it, saying it directly in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi and all the Konoha Ninja around them.

"Still, you may live, but the Shimura Clan must die. Just think of them as dying in your place. I am sure you are willing, since you do not have much affection anyway."

He comforted Danzo, telling him that he would not die and did not need to be so nervous.

"Third Hokage, with the war so tense right now, the ninjas of the Shimura Clan, along with their elderly, weak, women, and children, should all come to the battlefield and contribute to Konoha."

"Dying for Konoha would be their honor. Without their burning sacrifice, how could Konoha's descendants grow? Do you not agree?"

Liu Feng spoke those demonic words with a gentle smile.

"Do you not think that is too cruel?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around and looked at the terrifying Uchiha Liu Feng.

"Cruel? What does sacrificing one clan for Konoha amount to? Stop pretending to be a good person. Did you not join forces to bring down the Senju Clan? Even the strongest clan of the past was exterminated."

"I think you are even more ruthless than I am. So is it not laughable for you to speak to me about cruelty? I think I still need to learn from you."

Liu Feng wore an expression of sincere admiration.

After all, even Liu Feng might not have been able to wipe out his own teacher's clan. He truly still had a long way to go.

"Uchiha... Liu Feng, is what you said... true?"

Tsunade looked at Liu Feng with a trembling voice.

Such a massive Senju Clan had simply vanished. It was impossible for Tsunade not to have doubts. The flourishing Senju Clan had withered away during peacetime.

And in this Ninja World War, even the few remaining clan members had died on the battlefield. Now, only she and Nawaki remained of the Senju Clan.

"Tsunade, do not listen to him..."

"I am saying, is that not perfectly normal? When Hiruzen Sarutobi became Hokage, the Senju Clan was the first to oppose it. Once he secured his position, was it not only natural for him to eliminate dissidents?"

"No, putting it that way would tarnish the Hokage's image. It should be called removing unstable elements for Konoha's stability. Sacrificing for Konoha's prosperity and development—the Senju Clan was truly great."

After interrupting Hiruzen Sarutobi, Liu Feng spoke in a joking tone.

It sounded like he was joking, but was it truly a joke?

Liu Feng had actually investigated the Senju Clan's affairs, simply to satisfy his curiosity. After all, the Senju Clan had silently declined, and he naturally wanted to know the inside story.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi became Hokage, powerful members of the Senju Clan began dying in various accidents. Many had been carrying out secret missions assigned by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

On the surface, he had heavily relied on the Senju Clan, handing dangerous missions to its members. That flourishing Wood Style Senju Clan had vanished just like that.

"Uchiha Liu Feng."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Liu Feng. He wished he could kill Uchiha Liu Feng immediately and stop him from revealing anything else.

After all, he and Danzo had done quite a few shameful things. That was also why he tolerated Danzo.

After becoming Hokage, all the dirty work that could not see the light of day had been handled by Danzo.

"Do not get so worked up. I was only joking. The atmosphere was not very good just now, so I made a joke to liven things up. How could our Hokage possibly do something so despicable?"

Liu Feng waved his hand and laughed.

Some of the ninjas who heard Liu Feng's words relaxed. How could their Hokage possibly do such a thing?

However, some ninjas still harbored doubts. Naturally, they were smart enough to say nothing.

Especially the Clan Heads of the Major Clans. Each of them looked at their noses and minds, all old foxes.

When the Senju Clan declined, they had been the first to suspect something. But the Senju Clan's decline was also a good thing, since it had been a true behemoth back then.

The other clans had all lived under the Senju Clan's suppression. Its destruction was something every clan was happy to see.

"Three days from now, I want every member of the Shimura Clan, regardless of age or gender. Even a dog must come to the battlefield. Otherwise, you understand the consequences."

Liu Feng did not want to waste any more words. He left directly, and the Uchiha Clan Members who had arrived nearby followed him away.

"Disperse."

Hiruzen Sarutobi did not want to say anything either. He knew that after this incident, he would inevitably be questioned, and his prestige would surely fall to rock bottom.

But there was no other way. For Konoha's sake, he had to tolerate Uchiha Liu Feng.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi still had the Anbu pass down a gag order. Although quite a few Konoha Ninja had gathered around, some at the back had not heard anything at all.

Those who had heard could be made to keep quiet if possible. As for those who could not, it was enough as long as they behaved themselves.

"Tsunade, why are you still standing there? You do not really believe what Uchiha Liu Feng just said, do you?" Jiraiya called out to Tsunade, who stood motionless.

"There are some things I must ask about clearly." Tsunade gave Jiraiya a cold glance, then went to find Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Jiraiya wanted to say something else, but Orochimaru pulled him back. If Jiraiya tried to persuade her now, he might get beaten to death.

"Young Master, after this war ends, I am afraid we will become Hiruzen Sarutobi's primary target."

Uchiha No spoke to Liu Feng with concern. He was worried about the future.

They had completely humiliated Hiruzen Sarutobi and nearly broken with Konoha. Once the war ended, Hiruzen Sarutobi would definitely deal with them.

"What are you worried about? Even if we had not done this, the Uchiha family would still be a thorn in their side."

Liu Feng waved his hand indifferently. In truth, he had long considered the future.

He had two choices. The first was to overthrow Hiruzen Sarutobi and become Konoha's new Hokage. This choice was relatively difficult.

Dealing with Hiruzen Sarutobi would be easy, but becoming Hokage and controlling Konoha would not be. The Uchiha family itself had conflicts with Konoha's Major Clans.

Even the Civilian Ninja disliked Uchiha Clan Members. The ordinary civilians included, none of them held any goodwill toward the Uchiha family.

Under such circumstances, even if he dealt with Hiruzen Sarutobi, he might not become Hokage. Instead, all of Konoha might unite against him.
