Facing the eloquence of Uchiha Yoru, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke indifferently with just one sentence, which immediately changed the expressions of everyone present.
"Since the Uchiha clan thinks that I am targeting the Uchiha clan, or even the Police Force, then I admit it! But all I do is for the safety of the village, after all, no Konoha ninja would want to experience the Night of the Nine Tails again!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen hit the nail on the head, and with one sentence, the blame of the Night of the Nine Tails couldn't be cleared, and Konoha, no matter how many Hokages change, would always be wary of the Uchiha clan.
Indeed, as soon as the Third Hokage brought up this topic, everyone's expression changed instantly.
However, Uchiha Yoru looked at everyone calmly, "The Uchiha clan has been secretly investigating the matter of the Night of the Nine Tails. I wonder if the Third Hokage has found out anything? Or how many spies have you planted in the Police Force!"
After two consecutive questions, Uchiha Yoru stared directly at the Third Hokage, and everyone's expressions became solemn.
Even Jiraiya noticed something was wrong and spoke in a lowered voice, "Tsunade, the Konoha can't afford turmoil now. The old man indeed went too far, but the village can't endure a civil war!"
Facing Jiraiya, Tsunade snorted disdainfully, "I know, the purpose of our return is to prevent a civil war. But for now, let's see what these old guys have done."
"I!" Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd. Under everyone's gaze, a figure with purple hair slowly raised an arm, coming into view.
Konoha's special Jōnin Uzuki Yūgao, currently a senior member of the Police Force, and of course, there are some not-so-good rumors about her.
However, this time, as Uzuki Yūgao stepped forward, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, frowned, deeply inhaled a puff of smoke, and a look of disappointment appeared in his eyes. Indeed, there was betrayal.
"I, Uzuki Yūgao, after graduation, was dispatched by the former Anbu leader, Sarutobi Umeko, to spy on Uchiha Yoru in the Police Force, investigating all his misconduct."
There was an uproar, as countless people looked at Uzuki Yūgao, who had just admitted her identity as a spy. It was known that spies were usually for outsiders, but this time, it was for their own people.
"Kurenai Yuhi, under the orders of the Third Hokage, approached Uchiha Yoru as a classmate, while also investigating the Police Force…"
As one after another stepped forward, everyone's look at the Third Hokage was no longer so simple. After all, monitoring fellow villagers was indeed a bit too much, and the timing of these two was just not right.
The surveillance that started years ago, in fact, seemed more like it was initially meant for Orochimaru.
Faced with all these accusations, Sarutobi Hiruzen deeply inhaled a puff of smoke, raised his head with cloudy eyes looking at Uchiha Yoru, showing a determined look. The Uchiha must not stay!
"Today! Taking advantage of the Jōnin meeting, I, as the Uchiha clan head, head of the Police Force, and a Konoha Jōnin, officially impeach the greedy and corrupt regime led by the Third Hokage!"
"Insolence!"
"How dare you!"
Uchiha Yoru suddenly changed the topic, and in that instant, the high-ranking officials of Konoha, including Homura Mitokado, Shimura Danzo, and Koharu Utatane, all glared angrily.
They devoted their lives to the Konoha, and now someone was impeaching them, wasn't this denying their entire lives?
Facing this public impeachment, Sarutobi Hiruzen simply smiled. In his eyes, it was because of the return of Jiraiya and Tsunade that the other party was forced into a corner.
"Of course, I have devoted my life to the village. If you want to impeach me, then please bring out the evidence."
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen, despite his old age, exuded a strong aura in the face of impeachment. His cloudy eyes showed a firm determination as he stared intently at Uchiha Yoru, as if questioning him.
"If not, Uchiha Yoru, as a Jonin, you are impeaching the Hokage at will to create chaos. Regardless of whether you are the head of the police department or the Uchiha clan leader, this is not a license for you to act recklessly!"
Facing the Hokage's lineage, Uchiha Yoru's face showed a cold smile, "Since we've come to this, you old folks always bring up the Nine-Tails matter."
"For many years, my Uchiha clan has been secretly investigating to clear this accusation."
At this point, Uchiha Yoru's figure suddenly flickered, causing Jiraiya in the Jonin meeting to glare in anger.
"How dare you!"
However, in the next moment, Jiraiya's expression darkened, and a green figure appeared in front of him - it was Might Guy.
Dressed in green, Might Guy stood right in front of him, with Sharingan-wielding Kakashi Hatake appearing behind him. The two of them, front and back, surrounded Jiraiya, shocking and infuriating him.
"Calm down, Lord Jiraiya!"
Kakashi's Mangekyo Sharingan spun wildly behind, while Might Guy in front looked resolute, ready to open the Eight Gates at any moment.
"My apologies, Lord Jiraiya."
At this moment, Jiraiya was almost stunned by anger. Had the village changed so much in just a few years he was away? Meanwhile, another scene caused all the Jonin to change their expressions drastically.
"Splurt!"
Blood splattered as two figures emerged. Uchiha Yoru, looking at everyone with a pair of crimson Mangekyo Sharingan, was slowly sheathing the Kusanagi Sword.
But in front of him was another figure - Uchiha Shisui, shockingly holding an eyeball with bloody fingers. His eyes were also crimson red with Mangekyo Sharingan!
"Ah!"
A scream echoed, instantly changing the expressions of all the Jonin in the meeting room. Numerous Jonin drew their weapons, and an armed coup was about to start!
However, with the sharp observation of the ninjas, everyone's expression changed the next moment, especially those on the side of the Third Hokage. Even the normally composed Hiruzen's face turned pale in an instant.
Seeing Shimura Danzo scream in agony, his arm and an eye were respectively chopped off and plucked by Uchiha Yoru and Shisui. Danzo's painful screams continued as his body stiffened, unable to move.
"Sealing Jutsu: Self-Cursing Seal"
"This is the Mangekyo Sharingan!" Uchiha Shisui, who had just plucked Danzo's eyeball, looked angrily at everyone, holding the bloody eyeball high and roaring with all his might.
It seemed like Uchiha Shisui was venting the frustration and injustice the Uchiha had endured over the years.
"Clang!"
However, in the next moment, the bandage-wrapped arm was exposed, the golden metallic handcuffs fell off, and as the bandages were unwound, a pale arm was revealed, along with those fierce crimson eyes.
"This!"
Such a shocking scene made numerous elite ninjas feel cold from head to toe, and many were even frightened, looking at the once-high-and-mighty Konoha F4.
"Danzo!" Upon witnessing this, Tsunade couldn't help but roar in anger, smashing the table in front of her with a punch, glaring furiously at Konoha's higher-ups officials.
"Tsunade!"
"Shut up, Jiraiya!" At this moment, Tsunade, furious and towering with anger, looked at everyone, her rage intensifying when she saw the arm in Uchiha Yoru's hand.
"Sarutobi, old man! I need an explanation now! Why are the Wood Release cells of my grandfather on Danzo!"
The powerful aura of the Sannin spread, especially Tsunade, who hadn't been idle over the years but had been training regularly, her surging and powerful chakra instantly becoming evident.
Uchiha Yoru, holding the disgusting arm, mocked: "Lord Jiraiya, do you dare to say all this is just an illusion? That this is all fake?"
"According to Uchiha's years of investigation, the mysterious man who appeared on the night of the Nine-Tails not only used the Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails but also possessed Wood Release cells. The Sharingan has been blamed on the Uchiha clan for so many years, so what about the Wood Release cells now!"
"The suspect who possesses both the Sharingan and Wood Release, and who is suspected of manipulating the Nine-Tails incident, seems to make our Third Hokage even more suspicious!"
As Uchiha Yoru's resounding voice fell in the meeting room, Uchiha clan members, with anger, opened their Sharingan and roared: "Clan head! Give the order! Even if it means the destruction of Konoha! Even if it leads to the extinction of the Uchiha, our clan will never abandon our pride!"
"Roar! For the Uchiha!"
Taking bloodline limits has always been a matter of life and death, and this scene, occurring at the hands of fellow villagers, especially the high-ranking ones, instantly broke the Uchiha clan's rationality.
"Lady Tsunade, as the Senju clan who founded the Konoha, I, as the Uchiha clan head, formally invite you to be a witness! The current Third Hokage no longer has the right to lead Konoha! Nor does the current Konoha higher-ups!"
As Uchiha Yoru's voice fell, the ninjas he brought with him moved in unison, each revealing their weapons.
A coup d'état!
Seeing this, Jiraiya showed a shocked expression. At this moment, he only felt coldness in his hands and feet, especially the other elite ninjas, each with panicked eyes, clearly showing that at this moment, the people's hearts were scattered.
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned pale, with cold sweat streaming down. His many years as a ninja made him think not to question Danzo first in such a dire situation, but instead to force himself to calm down.
Looking at the pale arm in her arm, Tsunade took a deep breath and shouted to everyone in a deep voice, "All ninjas of Konoha, listen up! The Anbu and Root are to stand by on the spot. Anyone who acts out of line will be executed without question as a traitor to the village!"
"At the same time, send a signal to seal off the entire village. All merchants, ninja, and summoning beasts are allowed to enter but not leave!"
Coup d'état! Seizure of power! That was the only thing on everyone's mind. However, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the longest-reigning Hokage, made the right decision on the spot.
"Danzo! You!"
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, angrily slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "Tsunade, you are now in charge of the Root. Jiraiya, you are responsible for the Anbu. Konoha must not fall into chaos! We must thoroughly investigate and find the real culprit!"
Shush!
Shimura Danzo was immediately restrained and sealed by the members of the Uchiha clan, and even the two advisors, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, were held hostage by the elite ninja of the Police Force.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Uchiha Yoru coldly said, "The Police Force is responsible for the village's security. I have enough reason to suspect that the village's higher-ups are plotting to usurp the bloodlines of other ninja clans in the village. This alone is enough to suggest that the three advisors are guilty of treason! I even suspect you, the Third Hokage!"
"Uchiha Yoru! Are you trying to cause more unrest in the village?"
At that moment, Jiraiya stepped forward and sternly said to Uchiha Yoru, "Do you really want to start a civil war within the village?"
However, faced with Jiraiya's threat, Uchiha Yoru just sneered, "If it weren't for the clues I've gathered over the years, what would have happened to me today, Lord Jiraiya?"
Faced with Uchiha Yoru's question, Jiraiya stiffened, and his gaze turned to Tsunade, whose face was even more livid.
"Lady Tsunade, what do you say?" Facing Uchiha Yoru, Tsunade coldly snorted, surveyed the crowd, and shouted, "The Police Force will take over the internal security of the village, and the Root will stand by. Anyone who acts out of line will be executed. The Anbu is to be fully prepared, now under the command of Jiraiya."
"At the same time, the village is to be put on the highest alert, and all ninja in the village are to stay at home. Anyone who causes chaos or disturbance will be killed!"
Indeed, a woman who could become the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, issued orders one after another with calm and appropriate measures, and now the three major military departments of the village were under their control.
However, Uchiha Yoru's eyes showed a cold light, and he shouted coldly, "The Nine-Tails incident was clearly framed on the Uchiha clan. Over the years, not only do we need to investigate, but we must investigate thoroughly! Anyone who hinders the Police Force's investigation is an enemy!"
"At the same time, I want to accuse the current Third Hokage!"
At this, Jiraiya's eyes widened in disbelief, as if to say, "Are you really making a big deal out of this?"
However, Uchiha Yoru just sneered. Since Sarutobi Hiruzen had taken action, he would strike like thunder. There's no mercy in political struggle; if there's a fight, it will be fought until one side is completely defeated.
"I even suspect that the so-called succession of the Third Hokage by Sarutobi Hiruzen upon his return from the Land of Lightning was all a lie! All of this is the ambition of these people!"
As Uchiha Yoru's voice echoed, more elite ninja were shocked by the revelations of the day, and even more so by the unexpected succession of events.
Even Jiraiya felt a chill and was shocked as he looked at Uchiha Yoru. Beside him were Uchiha Shisui with his Mangekyō Sharingan, and Kakashi Hatake, also with a Mangekyō in one eye. Damn it! What's going on? Is this what you meant by suppressing the Uchiha, old man?
Is this how you suppress them?
Shimura Danzo, holding so many Sharingan eyes and possessing Hashirama's cells, dared to show up in front of so many people! And he got discovered, damn it, now even the Uchihas are whiter than you guys.
Who dares to suspect the Uchiha clan of manipulating the Nine-Tails now?
The dark side of the ninja world, without a word, under the sudden turn of events, no one expected Uchiha Yoru to be so bold as to make a move in the conference room.
As a result, he was directly sealed! Even the so-called higher-ups of Konoha, now all the ninjas of Konoha are beginning to doubt, is this their high command?
