Either you're incompetent, or you did it on purpose.
They knew Danzo would do this.
But they still indulged it.
So you're wrong!
With Hiruzen Sarutobi's reply, he was already in a hopeless situation, unable to refute the statement, unable to label anyone, unable to fight back, and unable to argue.
The others started discussing: "Although we won the Second Shinobi World War, there were a lot of problems afterward, and more importantly, White Fang died."
"Yes, we did offer our support back then, but we were still targeted in return. It was as if we ninja clans were heinous criminals. If it weren't for the Uchiha clan standing up for us, we probably would have been their target. Just think about how big the Senju clan was, and what happened to them afterward?"
"Yes, that's worth mentioning. And when it comes to ninja clans, they're not? Their approach is indeed very hypocritical. Just because we're ninja clans, we should be targeted, but their ninja clans shouldn't be targeted?"
"That's right, that's how it is."
You can't deny what you did, can you?
These trivial matters are all problems that arose during your reign. Moreover, if you say you want to inherit the will of the second generation and integrate the ninja clan into the village, then why don't your ninja clan do the same?
Instead, they frequently target us, trying to weaken our ninja clan's strength, and even causing Danzo to constantly recruit young members of the clan under the guise of Konoha and the Will of Fire.
The key issue is that they're targeting talented young people. Doesn't this kind of double standard seem disgusting? Why should we be the ones to sacrifice, and why should it be considered a matter of course?
But you guys don't have to. You shout about the Will of Fire, and then we just send you to your deaths one by one, while you reap the benefits. If you had continued to go to the battlefield, we wouldn't have had to be so suspicious. It's all your own fault, and it was Hiruzen Sarutobi who brought it upon himself. You can't blame anyone else.
"Three generations, commit suicide."
Tsunade sighed, still intending to give Hiruzen Sarutobi some face, even just a little bit, since his suicide would at least preserve his dignity.
Suicide?
I would not choose this option.
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi was unwilling, especially since he had already realized that Bai Mu's words were ultimately aimed at one thing: the greater good and legitimacy.
How can the impact of a coup be minimized?
To ruin their reputation, to burden them with sins, and more importantly, to make him, the Hokage, so from himself to Shimura Danzo, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu, it was all for this one purpose.
In that case, death is not a relief at all, but rather the beginning of a nightmare.
But I am unwilling. I want to fight for Konoha, even if it means dying in battle, I can accept it.
After Hiruzen Sarutobi realized this, he realized that if he committed suicide or died at Tsunade's hands, it would only allow Hakubaki to succeed.
A traitor is a traitor after all. If you want to whitewash the impact of the coup, then I will refuse.
In short, you killed the Hokage and the village's leaders; these are all your evil deeds.
It wasn't just me who was wrong; you were wrong too, and you're guilty...
"Uchiha Hakumu, there's no point in saying more. In this coup, no one is a winner. And even if there is a winner, that person will definitely not be you."
As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi threw out a shuriken, his hands rapidly forming hand seals as he whispered, "Ninja Art: Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"
Facing the incoming shuriken, Haku Mu's Susanoo easily blocked them, and Tsunade knew what Hiruzen Sarutobi meant when she saw him rushing towards Haku Mu.
He wanted to die, and in the hands of a shepherd.
However, this had no effect on Bai Mu. I can only say that you're overthinking it, old man. Tsunade was powerless to do anything about it.
She knew she couldn't stop him, so she wouldn't waste her time. Besides, it was Hiruzen Sarutobi's own choice, and Tsunade had no reason to stop him.
He was, after all, a great ninja. Since he was willing to end it all in his own way, Tsunade should respect his wishes and let him leave in peace.
As for what happens next?
That's not something he can worry about.
Anyway, Konoha will definitely be fine. She can't possibly say she can't govern Konoha well. As for Bai Mu, he's taking a bit too big a step, but given his power...
Even if my great-grandfather and Madara Uchiha teamed up, they probably wouldn't be able to win, so why should I worry about so much?
Furthermore, while the power in Konoha may seem to be in my hands, it is actually in his.
So what should I consider?
What the hell are you thinking about!
"What else?"
Bai Mu's Susanoo burst into flames, melting all the incoming 1.6-meter swords, and he calmly said, "I gave Danzo a chance, and naturally I will give you a chance too."
"I don't need it."
Hiruzen Sarutobi had already prepared for the fact that the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique wouldn't work. He knew very well that given the power Bai Mu had displayed, it was reasonable for it not to work; it would have been unreasonable for it to work.
Of course, Hiruzen Sarutobi would never give up. Even though he had reached his limit, his belief supported him to continue fighting.
"Fire Release: Great Flame Technique!"
A fierce flame erupted from Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth, instantly engulfing Hakubaki's Susanoo. However, he underestimated the flames on the outer layer of Susanoo.
The Sarutobi clan's prized fire-style technique was completely ineffective, as if it were absorbed by the flames, instead fueling the flames on Susanoo's body, making them burn even more intensely.
Chapter 98 Going to Hell? Where does that confidence come from?
Fire Release techniques are clearly ineffective.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was surprised that Hakuba possessed such a technique. He had heard that the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye techniques were incredibly diverse, so this was very likely the opponent's unknown eye technique.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the sudden burst of flames from Susanoo and its ability to absorb flames, so this must be the opponent's eye technique.
Since Fire Release is not working, let's try Water Release.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"
Can you do it?
Let's give it a try.
But Hiruzen Sarutobi was destined to be disappointed.
Although the water dragon rushed to the front of White Bear's Susanoo, the outer flames evaporated it completely, clearly indicating that it could not break through this layer of flames.
I don't know if it's because of the special nature of the flames, or because my Water Release technique is currently not powerful enough. If it were the Second Hokage, it would be different. I believe that with his Water Release skills, dealing with Bai Mu's strange eye technique would be no problem at all.
I may not be able to do it, but I believe my teacher can.
This was Hiruzen Sarutobi's idea.
But thinking about these things now is useless.
We must continue the fight.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bomb!"
Although he didn't know why Bai Mu hadn't made a move, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't care less. Instead, he quickly formed hand seals and unleashed a Water Release ninjutsu once more.
Two water dragons emerged instantly, intertwined, and rushed towards Bai Mu, opening their blood-red maws. Just as they were about to hit their target, the two dragons exploded.
A large amount of water fell, washing over Susanoo, as if trying to drown and extinguish the flames.
However, the water that flowed down did absolutely nothing to help.
The flames continued to burn fiercely, and there was no way to extinguish them.
Bai Mu watched Hiruzen Sarutobi continue forming hand seals and said quietly, "Your attacks can't even break through my Susanoo, so why do you still think that continuous attacks will be effective?"
"Whether it's useful or not, as the Third Hokage of Konoha, I must stand firm in my position. Even though I've done many wrong things, your thinking is too extreme and does no good for Konoha. I can't ignore Konoha's interests, and for Konoha's sake, I'm willing to go to hell with you!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and said with a serious expression.
Bai Mu's ideas are extreme, and his actions are ruthless. This means that the four ninja clans led by Sarutobi will be wiped out, and even the ANBU ninjas will be killed by Bai Mu.
If this would jeopardize the foundation of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi certainly wouldn't allow it. As for how it would jeopardize it, don't ask; the answer is simply that it would.
"Hmph, how ridiculous." Bai Mu didn't bother to say anything about such a statement; he could just treat it as a joke.
Go to hell?
I really don't know where that confidence comes from.
Danzo is the Four Symbols Seal, and you are the Reaper Death Seal... Wait, have you learned it? Bai Mu was a little unsure, had this guy learned it?
It originated from the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan, but considering the existence of Mito Uzumaki and the presence of a master of forbidden techniques like Tobirama Senju, he knew that it was impossible for Konoha not to leave such a trump card for this forbidden sealing technique.
So, it's unlikely that Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, was unaware of this, and that he dared to say it was because of this trump card.
But you're still naive, because you can't use that kind of technique.
Even if you use it, it won't work.
Because the moment Hiruzen Sarutobi chose to attack Hakubaki, his death was already inevitable, and there was no way he could have used any forbidden techniques like the Reaper Death Seal.
"Whether it's laughable or not, you'll soon find out," Hiruzen Sarutobi said confidently.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's performance made the Uchiha clan members uneasy, but these were all hawks and doves. The members of the White Flame Society, for example, had unconditional trust in Bai Mu.
Uchiha Mina, Uchiha Natsumi, and others did a good job of cultivating the ideology of the White Flame Society members, so these young Uchiha members who belonged to the White Flame Society were completely different from those so-called hawks and doves of the Uchiha clan.
"That old bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi still has ninjutsu? Is it a forbidden technique?" The Uchiha clan members were already calling Hiruzen Sarutobi by his name, and they all expressed their unease about it.
After all, he is a ninjutsu professor. Although he doesn't seem to be doing well now, with huge chakra consumption and ineffective ninjutsu, can we still trust him?
No.
The clan members, especially the Eighth Hokage of the Uchiha clan, were very uneasy about this, fearing that Bai Mu would be tricked, which would be a loss, a major loss for the Uchiha clan.
As for the Hyuga, Nara, and other ninja clans, as well as the commoner ninjas led by Yuhi Shinku, none of them chose to take action, but instead remained silent.
Although many people are willing to support the Hokage, the problem is that their strength is insufficient, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's supporters have all disappeared. Almost all of them are either dead or injured and have lost their fighting ability. So what can they do?
The loyalists of the Anbu were almost gone, and the remaining Anbu members were unwilling to fight anymore. Almost all the Sarutobi clan ninjas who participated in the war were wiped out, and the rest had already surrendered. So there was no one left to support Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he could only rely on himself.
Outside the Hokage Building, Bai Mu and Hiruzen Sarutobi are locked in a standoff, while the others are mostly watching silently.
"I don't know, but I'll trust Lord Bai Mu."
Uchiha Natsumi's answer was simple: just believe it, there's no need to think so much. Saying these things now is just putting pressure on yourselves.
Honestly, there's no need for that.
Hiashi Hyuga whispered, "The power of the Uchiha is terrifying."
