"This is power that surpasses yours," Ziyun laughed, having defeated the First Hokage and Second Hokage brothers on his first use of the Ten-Tails Chakra.
It looks pretty impressive.
"Damn it, it seems we can't escape the fate of Konoha's destruction after all. But as the Fourth Raikage, you have no martial ethics. You abducted the Uzumaki Clan and Senju clans and imprisoned them in Kumogakure. You even Tsunade as your wife."
"You even colluded with the Uchiha Clan to attempt a coup in Konoha. I will never forgive you."
Knowing he was powerless to Rotation, Hashirama Senju said bitterly to Ziyun.
"Hmm? You're saying I abducted the Uzumaki Clan and Senju Clan to Kumogakure? And I forcibly took Tsunade? Looks like you've been deceived."
Ziyun was taken aback by Hashirama Senju's words, then realized that Hashirama Senju had definitely been deceived.
As for who lied to him, it's easy to guess: it was Hiruzen Sarutobi and other Konoha High Command.
After all, the Konoha High Command has done a lot of despicable things over the years, including suppressing the Senju Clan and Uzumaki Clan, and cruelly killing Hashirama Senju's grandson Senju Nawaki.
If Hashirama Senju were to learn these truths, the Konoha High Command would be in serious trouble.
Thinking about this, Ziyun felt that it was pointless to simply let Hashirama Senju return to the Pure Land Konoha. He should let him know what his younger brother Tobirama Senju.
Let's see what Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju; that would be more interesting.
"What do you mean? Who tricked me?"
With only half a body and one eye remaining, Hashirama Senju stared at Ziyun with that single eye, his gaze filled with anger.
"What do you think? The Senju Clan and Uzumaki Clan both joined Kumogakure voluntarily, and I didn't steal Tsunade. It's all a lie."
Ziyun explained.
"Impossible! Why would the Senju Clan and Uzumaki Clan join Kumogakure? They're from Konoha!"
Hashirama Senju immediately denied it, stating that he did not believe Ziyun.
"It's simple. It's because the Konoha High Command wanted to wipe them out. The Uzumaki Clan and Senju Clan were almost destroyed. If I hadn't intervened, those two clans would probably not exist now."
"Faced with this situation, their only chance of survival is to join the Kumogakure."
Ziyun said calmly, while observing Hashirama Senju's reaction.
"Why would the Konoha High Command want to exterminate the Senju Clan and Uzumaki Clan? Both clans are allies of Konoha; they had absolutely no reason to destroy them. Your lies are so blatant; stop talking."
Hashirama Senju felt he couldn't listen to this anymore.
The Senju Clan Members —they were his own people, who followed him in conquering the world, and that's how Konoha came to be.
He and his younger brother Tobirama Senju were the First Hokage and the Second Hokage, respectively, and made great contributions to Konoha.
It can be said that without the Senju Clan, there would be no Konoha.
The Senju Clan symbolizes the glory of Konoha.
What reasons did the Konoha High Command have for persecuting the Senju Clan?
Therefore, Hashirama Senju felt that Ziyun's lies were of very low quality.
"It's very simple. The Uzumaki Clan possesses powerful Sealing Jutsu, and after being refused by the Konoha High Command, they decided to eliminate them."
"As for the Senju Clan, they were wiped out because they had too many powerful members and too much influence, which destabilized the power of the Konoha High Command..."
Ziyun explained again.
"Impossible! Stop talking! I won't believe you."
Hashirama Senju felt he couldn't possibly trust the Fourth Raikage.
What he said was utter nonsense.
" Fourth Raikage, don't try to mislead us with your lies. We won't believe your nonsense."
Tobirama Senju, who was impaled on the ground, also roared angrily.
"Since you don't want to believe it, then I'll have them tell you themselves." Ziyun was somewhat speechless, but these reactions were within his expectations.
After all, given Hashirama Senju's intelligence and naiveté, he certainly wouldn't believe that anyone could be as shameless as the Konoha High Command.
Although we could kill Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju right now, it would be too boring to just kill them directly.
Ziyun still wanted to see how Hashirama Senju would react after learning what the Konoha High Command had done; that would be more interesting.
"This is bad, retreat immediately!"
At the same time, seeing the First Hokage and Second Hokage defeated by Ziyun, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a surge of shock.
Even the God of Shinobi was no match for Yeyue Ziyun. Konoha was utterly defeated, and after this war, they would probably lose everything.
But none of that matters anymore. The more crucial question is: what if my actions are exposed?
After all, he had told such lies to the First Hokage and Teacher Tobirama, and Hiruzen Sarutobi dared not imagine the consequences if he were exposed.
Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately ordered the Konoha Ninja to retreat.
"Want to leave? Not so easy."
Having used the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Ziyun's Observation Haki and sensory abilities have reached an incredibly terrifying level.
While Hiruzen Sarutobi merely entertained a thought, Ziyun immediately began to act.
He instantly appeared before the Konoha High Command, then brought Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō, Utatane Koharu, and Homura Mitokado before Hashirama Senju.
Of the four, two were Kage Level experts and the other two were Quasi-Kage Level experts, but they were powerless to resist Ziyun and could only let him capture Ziyun.
Before they could even react, they were standing in front of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, who was impaled on the ground by black rods.
" Fourth Raikage, what exactly do you want?"
Seeing that Ziyun had kidnapped them and brought them before the First Hokage, the Konoha F4 all panicked.
"Speak, why did the Uzumaki Clan and Senju Clan join Kumogakure, and what did you do to the Uchiha Clan?"
"My Kumogakure will not take the blame for you."
Ziyun looked at the Konoha F4 and said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned, his knees buckled and he almost knelt down, but he managed to hold back.
Danzo, however, stepped forward even before Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Hmph, Yeyue Ziyun, the victor is king, the loser is villain. You're right no matter what you say, but don't you know why the Uzumaki Clan and Senju Clan joined Kumogakure? This is all part of Kumogakure's conspiracy!"
"You're dreaming if you think we'll take the blame for you."
Danzo was the first to realize what was happening, so he decided to deny everything to the death.
After all, once he was captured by Ziyun, all he wanted was to die.
If they die here, they will at least still be high-ranking members of Konoha and will be regarded as heroes who sacrificed their lives for the village.
But if things were exposed, he would be forever scorned by Konoha. After weighing the options, Danzo quickly made his choice.
"You don't want to admit it, huh? Then I'll just have to kill you."
Ziyun unleashed his full power, startling the Konoha F4, but none of them were willing to tell the truth.
After all, in their current situation, death would be better than life.
" Fourth Raikage, there's no need for further explanation. The victor is king, the loser is villain. Today, your Kumogakure Hashirama Senju won the war, and I, Hashirama Senju, am willing to accept defeat. But if you think this will absolve you of your actions against the Konoha, I advise you not to waste your energy."
Hashirama Senju also roared angrily.
He felt that Ziyun was insulting him. She had done such terrible things to Konoha, but in the end, she refused to admit it and tried to shift all the blame onto the Konoha High Command.
Do I really think I'm brainless?
Ziyun really wanted to tell Hashirama Senju, "You really have no brains."
"Since that's the case, then you can all go to hell. I'll take the blame."
Ziyun felt she couldn't explain it clearly, so she prepared to take action.
" Lord Raikage, please don't act rashly. I know the whole truth!"
Just then, a figure that had been lurking in the shadows suddenly spoke up and then appeared in front of everyone, shocking the Konoha F4 present!
That's right, Minato Namikaze has appeared!
" Minato, are you Minato?"
Upon seeing the familiar face and voice of the person who appeared, along with his signature blond hair, the Konoha F4 were all shocked.
Minato Namikaze, wasn't he dead? How come he suddenly reappeared?
"I'm sorry, but due to some special circumstances, I faked my death at the time."
Minato Namikaze stared directly at the Konoha F4 present, his tone somewhat indifferent.
During his years of infiltrating Konoha, he witnessed firsthand how his son, Naruto Uzumaki, was treated by the Konoha High Command.
It's fair to say that Naruto was treated entirely as a tool, rather than as the son of the Fourth Hokage, the son of a hero.
Naruto's childhood was too unhappy, and as his father Minato Namikaze could not tolerate it.
Therefore, he no longer had much affection for the Konoha High Command.
"Who is he, Sarutobi?"
Both Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju were puzzled upon seeing Minato Namikaze, as they had never met him before.
" Lord First Hokage, Second Hokage, I am the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. I had to fake my death because of the Nine-Tails' Attack."
