Crossover Anime: Collecting Treasures from All Worlds Starting with Type-Moon

Senju Momoka's voice was very cold. It seemed that the injury to Nawaki had aroused her strong dissatisfaction. If the person who injured him was a ninja from an enemy village, then so be it. She, Senju Momoka, would never say another word in defense of Nawaki.

But the absurd thing is that he was actually beaten by his own people?

"And now he's actually been injured by his so-called own people, while you, Shimura Danzo, are still here distorting the truth and spreading rumors. Sarutobi Hiruzen, are you blind to have found such a person to be your Hokage assistant?"

Not only Shimura Danzo, but Senju Momoka has also vented her anger on Sarutobi Hiruzen. She has seen all of Sarutobi Hiruzen's policies to weaken the Senju clan over the years, and now that she has the opportunity, she is determined to retaliate.

"That's not the case, the truth of this matter is still...々々."

Danzo Shimura suppressed his immense anger at being publicly humiliated and tried to defend himself, but before he could finish speaking, he was met with a barrage of attacks from Momoka Senju.

"Did I tell you to speak? You think you're so great, Shimura Danzo! Even if Hashirama or Tobirama were here, they wouldn't interrupt me. Who do you think you are to dare to interrupt me?"

Momoka Senju's words completely swept away the last vestiges of dignity that Danzo Shimura had already lost, leaving him utterly speechless.

Senju Momoka's seniority is too high.

She was originally Hashirama's older sister, and compared to her, Danzo Shimura could only be considered a grandson or even younger. She survived from the Warring States period to the present day thanks to the powerful bloodline of the Senju clan.

She's right. If Hashirama or Tobirama wouldn't dare interrupt her here, who does Danzo Shimura think he is?

"Senior Momoka, Nawaki..."

Seeing the stalemate, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew it was time for him to step in, so he tentatively asked Momoka Senju if she should call Nawaki over to examine his injuries.

"Hiruzen, don't you believe what I'm saying?"

Senju Momoka narrowed her eyes, seemingly quite displeased. Of course, she wasn't there to support Uchiha Aki; she was simply there to reclaim the dignity of the Senju clan.

How glorious the Senju clan was back then! But now even some Tom, Dick, or Harry can bully them. The clan's heir, Hashirama Senju, was casually beaten by "his own people"?

"Haha, that's not what I meant. So, Danzo, what else do you have to say?"

"The reason I am so certain about this is because of the information passed down to me by the Aburame clan. If the information I received is indeed wrong, then I am willing to be punished."

Danzo glanced at Shigin Aburame across from him. Sure enough, the usually calm Danzo could no longer maintain his composure. Regardless of whether Danzo's so-called "information" actually existed, his behavior was clearly an attempt to shift the blame!

This person is so vicious!

Shigin Aburame now realizes how foolish it was to choose to cooperate with Danzo. He contributed a large number of talented members of the Aburame clan to Root, only to be abandoned in return.

"Aburame Shigin, do you have anything else to say?"

With Hiruzen Sarutobi's stern words, the pressure has now shifted to Shigin Aburame.

"I..."

After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke with some difficulty.

"I didn't. It was my poor vetting that led to the loss of incorrect information. I apologize to the Senju clan leader and everyone in Team 10."

After speaking, he stood up with some difficulty and bowed deeply in the direction of Sakumo and Momoka.

"...Heh, Chief Aburame has quite the spirit, it's admirable. But to be honest, we can't entirely blame Chief Aburame for this, right? After all, there are so many people in the clan, it's impossible for him to control them all, that's not very realistic."

Shen Qiu said without a smile.

"However, since the head of the Aburame clan has already apologized, if I remember correctly, you must be very familiar with two of the four Root members who attacked us."

Everyone present held their breath, wondering when this young boy had completely taken control of the game.

"Besides Hyuga Kiyokawa, there was another person who used a technique called 'Magical Illusion: Control of the Five Senses' on me. If I remember correctly, this is a bloodline ninjutsu, which only people from your Kurama clan can use."

At this moment, Kurama Hachisei could no longer sit still.

"Lord Hiruzen, we were also at fault in this matter, please punish us..."

Now that things have come to this point, everyone understands that Shen Qiu (and Li Zhao) are determined to fight Shimura Danzo to the death.

"To be honest, the reason this situation has arisen is because Lord Danzo has failed to properly manage his subordinates. It seems that it's not that I want to steal credit, but rather that your subordinates want to steal credit, or perhaps... what about you, Lord Danzo?"

Shen Qiu had a bright smile on his face, but Danzo couldn't smile at all when he saw Shen Qiu's smiling face. What kind of cunning young man was hiding behind that smile!

"This was entirely the work of my subordinates, and I was completely kept in the dark!" Danzo seemed somewhat embarrassed and angry. His immediate priority was to protect himself before he could think about anything else.

The phrase "trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead" perfectly describes his situation.

Chapter 144: Ruthless Strike - Punishing Danzo

"Alright, now I'll announce the outcome of this matter!"

After Hiruzen Sarutobi cleared his throat, the once chaotic scene quieted down. In this political struggle, Danzo Shimura suffered a crushing defeat, while the Hokage's faction emerged victorious.

From today onwards, all families will likely need to carefully examine their relationship with the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. This man, in his prime and a master of politics, is clearly beyond their control.

The powerful clans are probably going to have a tough time in the future. Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but miss Konoha when the Senju brothers were around. Back then, these clans had a lot of influence in Konoha.

Instead of the current situation where everything is decided by Hiruzen Sarutobi alone, and they don't even have a chance to interject under normal circumstances.

The dominance and influence of powerful clans in Konoha has always been an almost unsolvable problem. To some extent, it can be said that Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was born a commoner, has always wanted to solve this problem, but it is just too difficult.

The best approach remains to divide and suppress, and discuss it later.

"Higashi no Hibari".

Hiruzen Sarutobi's first target was the Hyuga clan. Although he knew that colluding with Danzo Shimura was something the branch family had done, he wanted to send a warning to the Hyuga clan.

"My subordinate is here."

Hyuga Hito sighed softly to himself, while Hyuga Kiyobayashi, standing behind him, had a blank look in his eyes, seemingly still reeling from Danzo's crushing defeat.

"Hyuga Kiyoshi's son, Hyuga Kiyokawa, acted without authorization and injured Senju Nawaki, a fellow Konoha ninja. He should have been punished as a traitor, but considering that the Hyuga clan knew little about the matter, he will be given a lighter punishment. However—"

Hiruzen Sarutobi abruptly changed the subject.

"Although it's a lenient punishment, necessary penalties are still unavoidable. Hyuga Kiyobayashi, the head of the branch family, should no longer serve as the head of the branch family. Let's choose a new one. I heard you have two sons. According to the rules of your Hyuga family, the second son should be incorporated into the branch family, right?"

“That’s right,” Hyuga Hiyori said respectfully.

"Then let your second son, named Hizashi, succeed as clan leader. Although he is still young, it won't cause any major problems."

After hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Kiyoshi Hyuga felt a blur before his eyes. His position as the head of the branch clan had been taken away so easily.

And it was taken away by a mere child?

If it weren't for the fact that the Hyuga clan generally has high mental strength, Hyuga Kiyoshi would probably have fainted by now. Over the years, he has been suppressing dissidents and forming cliques within the branch family, committing all sorts of evil deeds.

If he were to lose his position as clan leader now, his future would definitely be bleak!

Thinking of this, Hyuga Kiyoshi felt a sense of disorientation. Hyuga Kiyokawa had joined Root at his suggestion, and he had originally thought that Kiyokawa would be able to grow quickly and accumulate more strength for him. He never expected that Kiyokawa would end up like this.

All of this was simply because he had provoked the boy who was only eleven or twelve years old.

"In addition, there is a fine of fifty million taels of silver. Do you have any objections?"

"No."

Hyuga Hitoshi gave a wry smile. What Sarutobi Hiruzen did could be said to have set a precedent: the Hokage could control the replacement of the Hyuga branch clan leader. Once this precedent was set, there would be precedents to follow.

Although the fine of 50 million taels of silver seems like a lot, it is a barely acceptable amount for the Hyuga clan.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's question about whether he had any objections was merely a polite inquiry; if he dared to have any objections, he would be ungrateful.

"Alright, then the Aburame clan and the Kurama clan..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, as if he had already prepared his speech, quickly announced the punishments for several major clans. Some were fined silver, while others had their territories relocated to the outskirts of Konoha—the Aburame clan.

It can be said that these large families closely associated with Shimura Danzo suffered heavy losses, and even those families that had been flirting with him still suffered significant financial losses.

"Finally, regarding the punishment for the Hokage's assistance to Danzo Shimura."

After much dawdling, Shen Qiu finally got to the main event. He dropped the nonchalant expression that had been on his face. Now was the real punishment phase.

Danzo Shimura wielded far too much power.

Every ninja in Root can be considered an elite Jonin-level ninja. Every year, a considerable number of the geniuses and high achievers who graduate from the Ninja Academy are poached by Danzo Shimura.

But the capabilities of the roots go far beyond these.

In addition to the direct members of Root, Danzo also recruited a considerable number of wandering ninjas to serve as peripheral members of Root. At the same time, Root also had its own complete intelligence department, interrogation department, and so on.

In some ways, the current Root organization is even more powerful than the Dark Organization. Danzo can get first-hand intelligence on any movements of the major countries.

It's even much faster than Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi noticed the increasingly powerful Root organization growing stronger, but he was helpless to stop it. Thirteen years ago, he returned to Konoha with the dying wish of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and was preparing to succeed him as Hokage, but he was met with a lot of doubt.

. ..... ....

"Why not live and die with the Second Hokage?"

Why would the Second Hokage choose an ordinary ninja without even a bloodline limit to succeed him as Hokage?

"You say the Second Hokage chose you to be Hokage, then you should provide evidence. Otherwise, how can you prove it?"

Such rumors spread wildly within Konoha Village, and people vented all their anger over the death of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, on him.

Therefore, he needs an armed force that can handle some of the "dirty stuff" for him.

The root was thus born.

Some say that the birth of Root was essentially a reflection of Hiruzen Sarutobi's inadequacy, because he was unable to resolve the issues under the cover of darkness, so he chose to let someone else take on the responsibility.
