She couldn't even beat Yeyue Ziyun, so if she didn't agree, she would have no choice but to turn against him.
It would be very ugly if they turned against each other later, so Hashirama Senju compromised.
Ziyun also left, then entered the alternate dimension of the Door-Door Fruit, and followed Hashirama Senju and the others into Konoha.
Just kidding, how could I miss such an exciting event as criticizing Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Konoha High Command? Of course I'll watch the whole thing.
Soon, Hashirama Senju Tobirama Senju escorted the Konoha F4 back to Konoha.
The heads of all the major clans in Konoha had gathered in the Hokage's office as instructed by Jiraiya.
Konoha, Hokage's office.
All the major clans had arrived, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō, and the other four members of Konoha F4 were also present, though they were being escorted.
After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi did that in front of the First Hokage, so the First Hokage no longer trusted him at all.
The reason we summoned him today is to convict him and his partner.
"I'm sure everyone knows why we've gathered here today; it's about what Sarutobi and his partner have done to Konoha over the years."
Hashirama Senju sat in the seat of honor, even though he was now only in Impure World Reincarnation body, and many of his bodies had been shattered by Ziyun's Truth-Seeking Orb.
However, the heads of the various clans in Konoha still held the First Hokage in high esteem.
Beside Hashirama Senju stood Tobirama Senju, his expression solemn.
Who can blame them Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo were both trained by him?
After handing Konoha over to them, it ended up like this, and I bear a lot of responsibility for that.
"Everyone can speak freely without fear. Before I return to the Pure Land, we must punish their sins."
Hashirama Senju raised his eyes and looked around, noticing that none of the clan leaders dared to speak.
It seems that the current Konoha High Command has exerted such pressure on the clans.
This made Hashirama Senju even more dissatisfied, so he decided that he must determine the crimes of the current Konoha High Command before he returned to the Pure Land.
"Since the Lord First Hokage has said so, then I will boldly say it."
The first to stand up was Hyuga Hiashi of the Hyuga clan.
After all, he still remembered how the Third Hokage had voluntarily handed over Hinata Hyuga to Kumogakure.
To be honest, the Hyuga Clan also had conflicts with the Konoha High Command, but they weren't as powerful Uchiha Clan, so they could only tolerate it.
Hyuga Hiashi then revealed that the Konoha High Command had handed over their own daughter to the Kumogakure.
" Sarutobi, you really are a coward."
Tobirama Senju was furious when he heard this.
Tobirama Senju felt utterly blind that Konoha had stooped to surrendering its Kekkei Genkai sue for peace after his death.
Why were these few disciples chosen to be Konoha High Command?
Following the lead of the Hyuga clan leader, other major clans also began to criticize the Konoha High Command.
Don't underestimate these clan leaders. Although they may not be the strongest, they are deeply entrenched in Konoha and are aware of some things.
However, since the Konoha High Command was at its peak, they didn't dare to confront them directly.
With the First Hokage and Second Hokage backing them up, the Konoha F4 didn't dare say anything, so they boldly stepped forward.
And so, one by one, old stories were unearthed.
In fact, besides suppressing a few major clans, such as the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan, the Konoha High Command also suppressed other major clans.
For example, the Hatake Clan and the Kurama Clan.
However, these powerful clans were not as strong as the Senju Uchiha Clan, so after suppressing them to the point of complete decline, the Konoha High Command stopped.
Now, those who remained have brought up old stories.
"What? You're saying that Father's death was orchestrated by the Third Hokage and Danzo?"
Then, Kakashi Hatake, Elite Jonin from the crowd and also a member of the Anbu, stepped forward.
Just now, the head of the Hatake Clan revealed the true cause of Hatake Sakumo's death.
That means someone manipulated the fishing boat to deliberately frame and kill Hatake Sakumo.
Although Hatake Sakumo did not die after the Second Shinobi World War as depicted in the original story, he still died after the Third Shinobi World War, forced to commit suicide by the pressure of the media.
The Hatake chief was aware of this matter, but given the Hatake Clan's limited strength and the fact that only Hatake Sakumo a Kage Level shinobi, he knew that if they were to truly turn against each other, the consequences would be dire. Therefore, he could only tolerate it.
Now that the First Hokage is backing him up, he can finally speak his mind.
"That's right, Kakashi. The reason Sakumo was scorned by the villagers was because of the interference of the Konoha High Command. After all these years, we've finally avenged Sakumo."
With tears in his eyes, the Hatake chief looked up at the sky, as if to comfort the spirit of Hatake Sakumo.
"Father!"
Kakashi's eyes also welled up with tears. He never imagined that the person he had been serving all along was actually his father's killer.
Kakashi's worldview was crumbling, and he immediately drew his Ninja Blade, intending to stab the Konoha High Command to death.
" Kakashi, stop! Their crimes haven't been determined yet; they can't be executed so easily."
Jiraiya quickly stopped Kakashi.
"Hmph, Sarutobi, with so many accusations, what else do you want to say in your defense?"
Tobirama Senju Hiruzen Sarutobi, wishing he could chop him up with a single stroke.
Since Hiruzen Sarutobi was ultimately the one who made the choice, it can't be said that what he did had nothing to do with me.
His lifelong reputation was ultimately ruined by that bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi.
" Lord First, I acknowledge some things, but the vast majority of them were indeed unrelated to me; they were all done by Shimura Danzō."
Even as death loomed, Hiruzen Sarutobi continued to argue, attempting to shift all the blame onto Danzo.
" Sarutobi, you!"
Danzo was furious, staring intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Even at this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi was still trying to argue and shift all the blame onto himself, which infuriated Danzo.
"Hmph, Sarutobi, don't forget, I'm just a Hokage Advisor. Ultimately, the power is still in your hands!"
"To put it bluntly, what in Konoha don't you know? What could I possibly do that escapes your notice?"
"Although you didn't personally give those orders, can you honestly say you didn't hint at them to me? Since that's the case, I'm not taking the blame anymore. I've kept all the evidence from these past years. Someone, bring the evidence here!"
Danzo a cold shout, and the Root immediately appeared from the shadows.
So a huge pile of physical evidence was laid out in front of Hashirama Senju.
" Danzo, I never expected you to still have this kind of evidence. I trusted you so much!"
Seeing so much physical evidence, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt despair.
Now he was speechless and unable to defend himself. He never expected Danzo to be so cunning, even keeping evidence from more than a decade ago.
"Hmph, if you're heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless too. If we're going to die, we'll die together."
Danzo snorted coldly; he had already given up on himself.
"This evidence is crystal clear, Sarutobi, you've really done a great job."
Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju reviewed this evidence, and it did indeed prove some things.
Especially after seeing that the Senju Clan had been ruined by the Konoha High Command, and that Senju Nawaki had been killed by the Konoha High Command ' faulty intelligence, the two Hokage were filled with rage.
How could someone as wise as myself entrust the village to such a scoundrel?
"In that case, Sarutobi, in the name of the First Hokage, I hereby strip you of your position as the Third Hokage. Of course, the positions of the other three are also stripped away."
"As for punishment, you four are sentenced to life imprisonment. You are S-rank prisoners of Konoha! Suppress them."
Hashirama Senju then announced the crimes of Hiruzen Sarutobi and others.
"They weren't executed? It doesn't really matter anyway; actually, letting them die like this would be too good for them."
Seeing this, Ziyun whispered from within the alternate dimension.
Whether the Konoha F4 live or die is no longer of any consequence to the overall situation; in fact, sentencing them to life imprisonment would be better.
After all, they were so greedy for power and fame that they wouldn't know how the world would judge them after they died.
But living every moment, feeling the hatred and resentment of the common people and various clans of Konoha, such an ending is more suitable for them.
Upon hearing this, the Konoha F4, led by Hiruzen Sarutobi, trembled all over. Life imprisonment was worse than death itself.
They were quickly thrown into prison.
"Brother, here's the question: Sarutobi has been stripped of his Hokage as Sarutobi, so who will be the next Hokage?"
After doing all this, Tobirama Senju asked curiously.
With Hiruzen Sarutobi gone, the question remains: who in Konoha can succeed him as Hokage?
"I already have someone in mind, Jiraiya is a good choice."
Hashirama Senju laughed.
He could sense that this Jiraiya was very strong, at least stronger than Hiruzen Sarutobi. Moreover, Jiraiya had also learned Sage Mode, making him arguably the strongest fighter among the living in Konoha.
" Jiraiya? From my observation, that kid's strength is indeed impressive, extremely formidable..."
