Helping each other with countless me.

Chapter 78 Good and fun-loving

In the night.

The Red Flame Army, led by Sarutobi Shinnosuke, approached the Uchiha residence silently.

Soon, the Uchiha clan was included from the four corners of east, south, west and north.

"hidden."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke gave orders through the headset, and then the Red Flame Army in the four corners hid themselves through earth escape. The biggest advantage of the Sarutobi clan lies here. They are born with five types of chakra, but generally speaking, the strongest is fire, and the other one is more random. He is earth, and his younger brother, who is not even two years old, is wind.

"The only thing I can leave for you is this Red Flame Army."

Hiding quietly, Sarutobi Shinnosuke couldn't help but recall his father's words in his heart.

To be honest, he has been with his father for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen his father open his heart to him, but in a way that is completely opposite to what he had taught in the past. He used to be so selfless, even when he secretly established the Red Flame Army, he never doubted his father. After all, his father could not be as powerful as the first generation, and needed a ninja army to clear obstacles for him.

But until just now, he realized that Ren Xiong also had selfish motives.
But
He didn't accept it.

He loves his father very much
He also knew that this was a way for his father to express his love.
However, this would leave a stain on Ninjago.
That's right, misappropriating funds and establishing the Red Flame Army was for the purpose of centralizing power in Hokage. This was not a stain. As long as his father disbanded the Red Flame Army afterwards, no family would be able to say "no". After all, putting Konoha first was the absolutely correct concept of Konoha. No matter what they thought in their hearts, no one could object to it on the surface.
However, if this army is not disbanded and remains in our hands, then it is nothing but a cover-up.
So, he decided to sacrifice himself.
First, you say that my father was selfish and he even sacrificed his eldest son. May I ask, where was his selfishness?

Second, without him, his father would most likely not keep the Red Flame Army, because no one would be suitable to lead it. As long as the Red Flame Army was disbanded, his father would still be the most perfect.——
"Sir Setsuna, my people are here."

At the Uchiha residence, through earth escape, Black Zetsu summoned seven ninjas possessed by White Zetsu at once, and they were all Jonin.

He had calculated this number carefully, which could both demonstrate the strength of the black market traders and prevent the major powers from being overly wary of them. The major powers were arrogant and would allow you to master certain secret techniques as long as you did targeted research. But if the power in your hands was too strong, they would set their sights on you. Rain Ninja was a lesson learned.

"No wonder you guys are so well-informed."

Uchiha Setsuna looked at these ninjas, and his Mangekyō Sharingan captured the traces of them coming out of the soil, proving that these were all top-notch earth escape masters.
"Are Sarutobi Hiruzen's men in place?"

"Ah."

Black Zetsu nodded.

"We have completely surrounded your Uchiha clan from four directions, and Uchiha Fugaku has also led most of the Uchiha clan with combat power to prepare."

"Ah"

Uchiha Setsuna sighed slowly.

"Then let's get started. I will expose Sarutobi Hiruzen's true identity."

"Mangekyo Sharingan: Open!!"

In an instant, a strange wave of vibrations spread to almost the entire Konoha, and even further away.
As two lines of blood and tears flowed down.
Uchiha Setsuna also disappeared like a bubble
“This is the power of a mother.”

Black Zetsu watched this scene quietly, with a flash of nostalgia in his eyes. Every Mangekyō Sharingan's pupil technique was unreasonably strong, but, in the final analysis, they all came from the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan.
Then, he slowly sank into the ground, and disappeared into the Uchiha residence with the seven ninjas possessed by White Zetsu.
"where is this place?"

"what's the situation?"

"Am I dreaming?"

"Why can't I move?"

In Konoha Square, the ninjas opened their eyes one after another, only to find themselves imprisoned in the same place.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen."

After a long time, a voice sounded in this world that seemed real but also seemed a little illusory. It was Uchiha Setsuna, the only person who could move freely here, because he was the only one who had entered here with his true self.

"Uchiha Setsuna"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uchiha Setsuna's eyes and immediately understood what had happened. It was obvious that this was the Mangekyō Sharingan that the Second Generation feared, and everything here should be some kind of ability of it.
"You really took this path after all."

"Stop pretending to be noble."

Uchiha Setsuna slowly walked out of the crowd, jumped lightly, came to the stage, and stood not far from Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"You released me because you wanted me to do this, right? Contact all the families that intend to rebel against you, and then eliminate me before the real rebellion comes, in order to shock them and complete your plan." "So you heard my conversation with the Minister of Torture?"

"It's more than just torture of the minister"

"So, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke slowly.

"I say, Konoha is a place of four wars. To the east are the Mist Ninja, to the north are the Cloud Ninja, to the southwest are the Sand Ninja, and to the northwest are the Rock Ninja. In the absence of strong men like the Shodaime and the Nidaime, the Hokage centralization theory I proposed is the best system that can protect Konoha and the interests of each of your ninja families to the greatest extent, isn't it?"

“Have you firmly implemented this policy?”

Uchiha Setsuna seemed to have forgotten what he was going to say. After being asked back by Sarutobi Hiruzen, he suddenly roared in anger.

"You haven't forgotten what you said to your son, have you?"

"of course not."

Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled.

"My eldest son, Shinnosuke, said that he hoped I would disband the Red Flame Army. I told him that the Red Flame Army cannot be disbanded because the centralized power system of the Hokage has touched the interests of many families. I need to leave a way for my son to protect himself. After all, one day, I will also be old. I... so I said."

"Yes!"

Uchiha Setsuna nodded again. He vaguely felt that Sarutobi Hiruzen had missed something, but it didn't seem to be a big deal because he admitted the most important point.

"Then, let me ask you, regardless of whether what I did was right or wrong, does this indirectly prove that my policy is not to exterminate all ninja families? You have to know, Nidaime, the legacy left by my teacher is to make sure that Konoha no longer has any so-called ninja families, but to disband them all like the Senju clan and join the civilian population."

"Om~~~"

Below, although some of the Konoha ninjas still didn't understand how they got here, they had already understood the reason from the conversation between the two, especially those ninja families who had secretly colluded with Uchiha Setsuna. While they were sweating profusely, they couldn't help but feel that Sarutobi Hiruzen's words seemed to make sense.
"But if you do this, who can guarantee that in the future only your Sarutobi clan will continue to grow stronger, while other ninja clans will slowly wither away?"

Uchiha Setsuna glanced at the ninjas underground, and was furious when he saw their fence-sitter expressions.

"Otherwise, why don't you disband the Red Flame Army?"

"Then, Uchiha Setsuna."

The only moving part of Sarutobi Hiruzen's body was his eyes, which were directed at Uchiha Setsuna.

"Is there a possibility that I said that on purpose? Although I cannot guess what ability your Mangekyō Sharingan has, I do know that its birth is always based on certain factors. For example, you, Uchiha Setsuna, when the Second Hokage was alive, he had seen through you very well. You are a self-righteous person who always wants to prove that you are right. Then, the ability of your Mangekyō Sharingan is most likely related to this."

"So, when I learned from Kagami's descendant, Uchiha Hu, that you had the Mangekyō Sharingan, I made corresponding preparations. For example, those words were actually meant for you. No, to be more precise, they were meant for the black market dealer. After all, you were deserted by everyone, so the most likely partner would be that black market dealer who was good at lurking and hiding."

"Look, now that you've jumped out, and in this way, every word we say can be heard and seen by all ninjas. They can tell whether I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, really have any selfish motives!"

"How do you know???"

Uchiha Setsuna was full of surprise. Whether it was Sarutobi Hiruzen figuring out the ability of his eyes or the black market vendors, he couldn't figure out how this old man could do all this.
"No, that's not right!"

Uchiha Setsuna suddenly thought of something, as if he had found a life-saving straw.

"How do you prove that those words were deliberately said to the black market dealers, rather than the excuses you are making now?"

"In my Konoha Hokage's office, there is a written Hokage Order. Is that enough? I believe you also know that in order to prevent forgery, each Hokage Order will have a special anti-counterfeiting mark. Without me, the Hokage, present, no one can write a Hokage Order. And now I am controlled by you here. If what I said is false, then the Hokage Order should not exist, right?"

"I do not believe!!"

Uchiha Setsuna flew directly to the tallest building in Konoha, the Hokage Building. Between the virtual and real transitions, he actually came to the Hokage's office, opened the drawer, and took out the Hokage Order.
"He is now looking at the Hokage Order in front of the old man."

Uzumaki Kushina, who was also controlled at the scene, could still communicate with Li Zhongren through Kagura's mind eye, so Li Zhongren knew everything that happened at the scene clearly.
"This is really... both a nerd and a playful person."

Listening to the live report from Uzumaki Kushina, Li Zhongren couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Of course, we have to sigh that a ninja is a ninja. Under such circumstances, he managed to find a way to survive.
