Seeing the Third Elder of the Uchiha clan commit suicide, Utatane Koharu was somewhat panicked. Just now, when the Third Elder was not dead yet, she still had some confidence, thinking that Namikaze Minato would not dare to casually execute her.
But now that the other party has committed suicide, she is the only one left, isolated and helpless. In order to seek justice, she might also be executed. In the face of death, no one can remain calm, their hearts are filled with panic.
"Minato, you can't kill me, he found me first, it was his idea."
Utatane Koharu immediately pushed all the blame onto the Third Elder of the Uchiha clan, anyway, he was dead without evidence.
Uchiha Fugaku, who was originally planning to leave, heard this and sat down again. Although the Third Elder did indeed betray him, after all, the other party was also a person from the Uchiha clan. He did not allow the Third Elder to bear such a stain after his death.
If the crime of being the mastermind falls on the Third Elder, then their Uchiha clan will have no way to survive in the village in the future.
"Do you have any evidence to prove that he instigated it?"
Uchiha Fugaku stared closely at Utatane Koharu's eyes and said. Utatane Koharu originally wanted to be tough, but when she noticed Fugaku's eyes, she didn't know why, but she suddenly became a little scared.
"Yes, he is the mastermind."
Utatane Koharu's heart was a little panicked under Fugaku's gaze, but she still held back her trembling body and said.
But the people present were either Anbu ninjas or Hokage, each of them had terrifying observation skills, and naturally saw that the other party was lying.
"You're lying."
Fugaku's voice suddenly rose, and the sudden increase in volume directly startled the other party.
"No, I'm not lying."
Utatane Koharu was sweating profusely. As long as she kept her mouth shut, she didn't believe that Minato would forcibly pin the crime of being the mastermind on her.
"You should know that the Yamanaka clan has a method to retrieve information from corpses, and I can also use Genjutsu to make you tell the truth. Hokage-sama, you don't mind if I use Genjutsu on her, do you?"
Hearing this, Utatane Koharu was completely panicked.
"I am an elder of Konohagakure, you can't do this."
Utatane Koharu said in a panic.
"When you did this series of things, you were no longer an elder of Konohagakure."
This sentence was said by Namikaze Minato.
"Patriarch Fugaku, please do as you wish, I just need to know the truth."
"No, Minato, stop him quickly, you can't let him do this."
Utatane Koharu shouted in panic.
But Minato did not reply, and Fugaku also activated his Three Tomoe Sharingan, staring closely at Utatane Koharu.
Knowing that she couldn't avoid the risk of Genjutsu, Utatane Koharu immediately closed her eyes.
"Open her eyes for me."
Minato gave orders to the Anbu on both sides of Utatane Koharu.
"Don't, you can't do this, I am an elder of Konohagakure."
Just as the two Anbu were preparing to forcibly do it, suddenly, a voice came from outside the secret room.
"Wait a minute."
The door of the secret room was suddenly opened, and the Third Hokage led Mito Homura and Shimura Danzo in.
"Third Hokage, what do you mean by this?"
Minato stared closely at the face of the Third Hokage and said.
"Minato, even if Koharu is wrong, she is still an elder of Konohagakure. Even if she has no merit, she has worked hard. You can't treat her like this."
The Third Hokage also stared at the Fourth Hokage's face and said.
"Hiruzen, save me, save me."
The arrival of Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to give Utatane Koharu a lifeline, and she shouted urgently.
"Third Hokage, if I let her go, how should I explain to the deceased ninja?"
Minato directly questioned the Third Hokage.
"This..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was somewhat speechless.
"Minato, Koharu has made it very clear that the mastermind is a person from the Uchiha clan."
At this time, Danzo, who was behind the Third Hokage, suddenly spoke.
"Danzo-sama, how can you just rely on one side of the story and put the blame on my clan?"
Uchiha Fugaku clenched his fists and angrily questioned Shimura Danzo.
He didn't expect Danzo to be so obviously biased.
"What kind of people are you Uchiha clan, don't you know yet? Uchiha Fugaku?"
"Alright."
At this time, Namikaze Minato suddenly spoke, interrupting the two who wanted to continue arguing.
"Okay, Third Hokage, then I'll give you a face, I can not use Genjutsu on her, but from today, she will not be a ninja of Konohagakure, and I can't see her in Konohagakure in the future."
"Hiruzen, I can't leave Konohagakure, Konohagakure still needs me."
As soon as Minato's words fell, Utatane Koharu hurriedly said.
"Okay, I promise you."
This sentence was said by the Third Hokage.
"No, Hiruzen, you can't make such a decision."
"If you still want to live, then shut up."
The Third Hokage Hiruzen directly suppressed his anger and said to Utatane Koharu.
Hearing the reprimand of the Third Hokage, Utatane Koharu was taken aback, and then immediately calmed down. She also understood her current situation and had no bargaining power at all.
"Then Fourth Hokage, I'll take Koharu away."
"Please."
Then, the Third Hokage and a few others took Utatane Koharu and swaggered away from here.
"Hokage-sama, are you really going to let her go like this?"
Fugaku stared closely at Minato, as if to say, if you don't give me an explanation for this matter, then I will definitely not let it go easily.
"Our Uchiha clan people are already dead, even if the Third Elder deserves to die, there is still an ordinary clan member."
"Don't worry, I won't let her see tomorrow's sun."
Minato squinted his eyes, staring at the direction where the Third Hokage and others were leaving, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.
The Third Hokage's behavior this time was tantamount to a coup, bringing all the powerful elders of Konohagakure, even if Utatane Koharu was pardoned, it directly touched Minato's authority.
Hearing Minato's words, Fugaku's expression was slightly stunned. This was the first time he had seen Minato in this state.
"Kakashi, call Satoru over, I have something to give him."
"Yes, teacher."
And Utatane Koharu, who walked out of the secret room, followed behind the Third Hokage all the time.
"Hiruzen, do I really have to leave Konohagakure?"
In Utatane Koharu's eyes, a touch of hope was revealed, hoping to hear an answer that would satisfy her.
"If you want to die, then stay in Konohagakure village."
Instantly, Utatane Koharu fell silent, then she noticed Shimura Danzo who had been by her side, and immediately gritted her teeth.
"Danzo, did you betray me? Otherwise, why did Minato find out so quickly?"
"Hmph, stupid, you underestimate Minato too much, after all, he is the one who sits in the Hokage position."
