However, the normal flow of chakra within his body told him that all of this was real, the overwhelming stench of blood in the air was real, the sticky blood under his feet was real, and the corpse of his old friend of many years was real. All of this was real.
Danzo, the leader of Konoha's Root, along with his elite Root ninjas, were wiped out right in front of him, leaving no survivors!
As a Hokage who had fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the battlefield, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't feel disgusted, but the shock was too great. Sasuke, on the other hand, was genuinely starting to feel nauseous, especially after Danzo was cut in half and his contents were scattered all over the ground. Even when Itachi Uchiha massacred the Uchiha clan, it wasn't this exaggerated. At most, he would kill people, but he wouldn't cut them up.
Five years later, seeing such a dense, bloody, and even terrifying scene again, Sasuke felt a lump in his throat.
"vomit--"
He eventually couldn't hold it in and threw up.
"Do you know who you killed?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi finally came to his senses, stood up, and glared angrily at Li Yue.
"Just a piece of trash who is inherently evil."
Li Yue casually flicked her hand.
"He is an elder of our Konoha Village! You are making an enemy of the entire Konoha Village!"
The Third Hokage, who was good at compromising, finally erupted in anger. He took off his Hokage robe, revealing a suit of black armor underneath.
"What, are you saying you're going to attack me for his sake?"
Li Yue stood there casually.
"Sure, if you think you can do it, give it a try. However, if you fail, the consequences will befall your Sarutobi clan."
"Nani!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had already clasped his hands together and was about to make a move, suddenly stopped.
"Guess how long it will take me to wipe out the Sarutobi clan."
As Li Yue stomped her foot, the originally flat floor suddenly cracked open, and a large number of trees emerged from under the floor, instantly filling the entire classroom.
"This is Wood Release!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was shocked. Wood Release was too intimidating to people in the ninja world, especially to the people of Konoha, who grew up under the protection of Wood Release!
"Quickly! Evacuate everyone!"
Under Hiruzen Sarutobi's command, the Anbu ninjas quickly evacuated the classroom. After Hiruzen Sarutobi led the Anbu away, the huge trees burst open and destroyed the entire classroom, even destroying other classrooms in the school. The thick trees replaced the classrooms and occupied the entire school building. The Anbu who retreated to the playground stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the dense forest that had replaced the school building.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's performance was the most direct.
"Impossible! This level of Wood Release is impossible!"
"What do you think Wood Release is?"
Li Yue led a shocked Sasuke out of the woods.
"It's just a fusion of water and earth attributes; it's not even a bloodline limit."
With each step Li Yue took, a large tree would grow beside him, appearing so relaxed and carefree, which greatly impacted Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, this is an illusion! The First Hokage's Wood Release couldn't have been used so easily by someone else!"
"Hmph, you think Hashirama Senju is strong? It's simply because you're all too weak and trash!"
Li Yue raised her chin and looked down at Hiruzen Sarutobi with her nostrils.
"It's not just you guys, Madara Uchiha back then was just as weak and trashy. He only mastered a little bit of the power of the Sharingan and thought he was invincible. In the end, he actually lost to Hashirama Senju. What a piece of trash!"
Marada, far away in the Pure Land, suddenly felt a little annoyed. His beloved Hashira was doing nothing and no matter how much he called out to him in the chat group, he didn't reply to his messages.
"The bloodline limits that you trash are so proud of are nothing more than things I can create at will!"
As Li Yue spoke, he stomped his foot again, but this time no trees grew on the ground. Instead, a patch of ice spikes suddenly burst forth. The huge ice spikes were like a thick fence, starting from Li Yue and surrounding the entire school, including the Third Hokage and the Anbu behind him.
"Is this the Ice Release technique of the Minazuki clan?!"
As Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the giant ice spikes surrounding him and felt the cold air, a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
Not only that, the trees behind Li Yue quickly gathered together and continued to climb, and a huge wooden figure, fifty meters tall, appeared directly on the small school playground. Its enormous body could be seen by everyone in Konoha Village!
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi was completely at a loss. Wood Release: Wood Release, the legendary signature ninjutsu of the First Hokage who pacified the ninja world! Wood Release combined with Ice Release, unleashing such a massive bloodline limit, along with a terrifying genjutsu that was completely undetectable. Could he really defeat such an enemy?
If he fails, according to what they said, they will directly attack the Sarutobi clan. What if his impulsive act leads to the extermination of the Sarutobi clan? He cannot bear such responsibility!
But the other side killed Danzo, an elder of Konoha. If we don't do something about that...
"Think it over carefully, whether you choose Shimura Danzo or your Sarutobi clan."
As Li Yue spoke, she waved the arm she had cut off from Danzo at Hiruzen Sarutobi. Then, with a flick of her wrist, all the bandages wrapped around the arm came loose, revealing the arm beneath.
"This is!"
The Anbu members behind Hiruzen Sarutobi were all stunned.
"Why! Why does this arm have Sharingan eyes?!"
The question wasn't asked by Hiruzen Sarutobi, but by Sasuke, who was standing next to Li Yue.
"What you just dug out of that guy's eye was also a Sharingan, right? Why would his eye be a Sharingan?!"
As a member of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke immediately became excited upon seeing someone with the Sharingan.
When Hiruzen Sarutobi saw the smile on Li Yue's face, he was immediately horrified.
"The reason is simple: the useless and incompetent Uchiha clan was wiped out by that trash and Itachi Uchiha together!"
"What!!"
"What on earth is going on?! Wasn't he supposed to be an elder of Konoha Village?!"
Sasuke's bloodshot eyes glared intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi. If the Konoha elders were involved in the destruction of the Uchiha clan, then what about the Hokage?
Li Yue ignored Sasuke, who was so enraged that he activated his Sharingan, and instead smiled at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hiruzen Sarutobi understood Li Yue's meaning. Li Yue had already prepared the charges for him, and if he still didn't understand, then he was truly courting death.
"I understand."
The Third Hokage let out a long, helpless sigh.
"Sasuke...."
"Ok?"
Li Yue interrupted Hiruzen Sarutobi, who paused for a moment before speaking again.
“Clan Chief Otsutsuki, I will send people to investigate Shimura Danzo’s involvement in the Uchiha clan’s extermination, if the situation is true.”
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath.
"I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!"
79. Li Yue, the housekeeper, is seeking a spouse worldwide!
Hiruzen Sarutobi compromised. He wasn't confident he could defeat Li Yue, especially since Li Yue was inside Konoha and could easily unleash powerful, wide-range Wood Release and Ice Release techniques, as well as incredibly strong genjutsu that was completely undetectable. He dared not gamble, because if he failed, the Sarutobi clan might truly be doomed! He couldn't be a sinner against the Sarutobi clan!
Moreover, the massive ice wall made of ice spikes inside the school could not be concealed, and the giant wooden figure standing on the school playground was even more impossible to hide! Adding to the students who had been evacuated earlier, there was no way to stop this from happening.
Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi, in the name of the Third Hokage, announced the launch of a reinvestigation into the Uchiha clan massacre and released the results of the investigation the very next day.
"Danzo Shimura, an elder of Konoha Village, abused his power and committed malfeasance during his tenure due to jealousy of the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan. He framed the Uchiha clan and later joined forces with Itachi Uchiha to massacre them in order to seize their Sharingan."
"The Uchiha clan has suffered such a great calamity, which is a tragedy for the Uchiha clan and also a tragedy for Konoha. As the Third Hokage, I am to blame for failing to detect Shimura Danzo's intentions in time."
"In the name of Konoha, I will compensate the Uchiha clan, now the Otsutsuki clan. After I have completed the compensation to the Otsutsuki clan, I will resign and begin the election for a new Fifth Hokage."
In the plaza in front of the Hokage Building in Konoha Village, ninjas gathered, looking up at Hiruzen Sarutobi standing on the roof of the Hokage Building. After hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's announcement, a commotion erupted.
The massacre of the Uchiha clan was a major event five years ago. At the time, everyone thought it was an internal strife within the Uchiha clan, but unexpectedly, not only was there a traitor within the Uchiha clan, but the high-ranking officials of Konoha Village were also involved.
The Konoha high-ranking officials, whom they trusted deeply, actually chose to secretly plot against the Uchiha clan out of jealousy of their power.
This event had an immense impact on the Konoha ninjas, as Konoha had many ninjas skilled in secret techniques.
If the Konoha leadership can target the Uchiha clan, what about other clans or those who wield secret techniques? Wouldn't they also secretly target them? It's even possible they've already done so!
Hiruzen Sarutobi understood that announcing the matter of Danzo Shimura would directly cause distrust among the Konoha ninja. They might not say anything on the surface, but they would definitely start to doubt the higher-ups. Therefore, he chose to resign to minimize the impact of the matter.
After announcing the investigation results to the ninjas below, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Sasuke and Li Yue, who were also standing on the Hokage Building.
"Clan Chief Otsutsuki, I apologize to you for what Shimura Danzo did to the Uchiha clan. I will compensate the Otsutsuki clan according to the highest standards stipulated in Konoha regulations."
Sasuke glared at the old man with his head bowed before him, saying nothing but letting out a cold snort. Li Yue also remained silent, simply smiling as she looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
All of this was arranged by Li Yue.
Originally, Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to handle the matter discreetly, only reporting the investigation results to Sasuke to minimize the impact. However, Li Yue directly refused, leaving Hiruzen with no choice but to make the investigation results public. Although he shifted all the blame to Danzo Shimura and Root, as the Hokage, he could not remain completely uninvolved, especially given the crisis of trust among Konoha ninja towards the higher-ups. Helpless, he had no choice but to resign.
However, he would not give up like that. In choosing the Fifth Hokage, he would choose to bring his disciples back from outside and then select one of his disciples to become Hokage.
But this has no effect on Li Yue; all he needs to do is kill Shimura Danzo.
The most annoying people in Konoha are the Konoha F4. They've caused 100% of the trouble in Konoha, especially Shimura Danzo. Well, you can't say he's bad at it, he is indeed an elite Jonin, but his ability to cause trouble far exceeds his strength. Especially under the protection of Hiruzen Sarutobi, he uses the slogan of "for Konoha" and his status as an elder of Konoha to stir up trouble in the dark.
But Li Yue wasn't from Konoha, so he didn't care at all when he killed. He didn't care what happened to Konoha. All the ninjas in that village were just a bunch of mercenaries. He just wanted to have fun and didn't want to be disgusted by people like Shimura Danzo, so he just killed Shimura Danzo in one go and that was it.
As for Hiruzen Sarutobi wanting to avenge Danzo Shimura? It's simple: do you choose your beloved Danzo who is already dead, or do you choose the Sarutobi clan behind you?
The Uchiha clan was wiped out, so why can't your Sarutobi clan be wiped out?
Hiruzen Sarutobi's favorite thing to do is play with bonds, so the Sarutobi clan is naturally one of his bonds. Li Yue won't threaten the entire Hidden Leaf Village and then target the Sarutobi clan. In this way, Hiruzen Sarutobi won't think about fighting Li Yue to the death, and might even be willing to cooperate with Li Yue.
Now that Hiruzen Sarutobi had finished speaking, it was Li Yue's turn to speak.
Li Yue picked Sasuke up and walked past Hiruzen Sarutobi to the front, making sure all the ninjas in the plaza below could see him.
"Is that an orphan of the Uchiha clan?"
"It's Uchiha Sasuke, but who is the other person?"
"No, didn't the Hokage just say that the Uchiha clan no longer exists? They're now called the Otsutsuki clan."
What does "Otsutsuki clan" mean?
"I don't know, I've never heard of it."
The ninjas below began to whisper among themselves as they watched the two newcomers appear.
"Yakamashi!!!"
Li Yue unleashed her spiritual pressure, and everyone felt a heavy pressure. However, because Li Yue controlled her output, these people did not collapse to the ground. Nevertheless, the sudden heavy pressure successfully silenced everyone.
