“If judged according to the regulations for the security detail, there is indeed no problem with ordinary people.”

"But this is the Third Hokage. It would be inappropriate to punish him according to the police force regulations."

Uchiha Ryosuke frowned. It seemed that opinions were still not unified enough. If opinions were not unified enough, then it would not be perfect.

Previously, it was thought that the fact that he died from drowning was enough to prove the Third Hokage's innocence.

But that was clearly not enough; he even went on to smear the Third Hokage with all sorts of accusations.

Although it severely damaged the Third Hokage's reputation and seriously harmed his image.

However, some clan leaders still stood up to oppose it.

It seems we need some high-ranking people to take the lead.

He looked at Hiashi Hyuga.

"What is the opinion of your Hyuga clan?"

Hiashi Hyuga was also somewhat uncertain.

I will never trust the Third Hokage again after the Kumogakure incident.

The subsequent espionage incidents made him even more vigilant, and he had to get to the bottom of things today.

"The Third Hokage, after our two clans were forced to fight against the Cloud Village army on the border, captured the Fourth Raikage. He personally admitted that our Konoha Village had high-ranking officials passing on military intelligence to them."

"I wonder if the Third Hokage was aware of this?"

The other clan leaders present were also very puzzled. They had sent these two clans to fight against the incredibly powerful Cloud Village. It seemed unlikely that they would win.

This is a major event for the village. Even if some people think that the Hyuga family caused the trouble, they still think that such a decision is too outrageous.

How could these two races bear such a heavy responsibility? The consequences of defeat would be dire.

Rumors circulated in the village that Kumogakure had given the Uchiha clan a large sum of compensation, which was so severe that it affected the village's development for decades.

From now on, he will probably never recover.

So what if Konoha Village is defeated, and Konoha Village has to pay a lot of compensation?

This large compensation means that their family will receive much less money from the village.

They looked at the Third Hokage with questioning eyes, wanting to see how he would explain the matter of spies.

Several clan leaders even asked the Third Hokage questions.

Did the Third Hokage know about this?

Chapter 196 Admit

The Third Hokage was startled, not expecting the Fourth Raikage to reveal this.

Damn it, of course he wouldn't admit to doing such a thing.

If he admits it, he will undoubtedly be sentenced to death, not just imprisoned.

He now sees a glimmer of hope, and there are even people pleading for him.

Even if I can't be Hokage anymore, it's good to be alive.

He immediately rejected the idea.

"I did not do such a thing. This was a conspiracy by the Fourth Raikage, whose purpose was to cause infighting in our village. This is a vicious trick commonly used in the ninja world."

"Furthermore, even if it were, it was probably done by Danzo, and I was unaware of it."

He shifted the blame to Danzo, probably because he was afraid they might have some evidence, but Danzo was the one who orchestrated this whole thing in the first place.

Hiashi Hyuga did not believe the Third Hokage's one-sided account, but instead looked at Ryosuke.

"Ryosuke, with the cooperation of the prisoners from Kumogakure, is there any progress on the spy operation?"

Ryosuke was also startled.

He hadn't expected this. His original intention to control Mabuyi wasn't to investigate espionage; it was purely out of personal interest.

It's clearly not the right time to try and bring down the Third Hokage through espionage.

But now is a good opportunity.

He looked at the three clan leaders: Pig, Deer, and Butterfly.

"Unfortunately, I didn't find any useful clues. So, did the Ino-Shika-Cho trio find any evidence that Danzo sent spies when they searched Danzo's laboratory?"

The three shook their heads.

"not at all."

Such spies can do this simply by passing on a message or a letter, making it difficult to leave any evidence.

Hiashi Hyuga was also disappointed, as they couldn't find it in Danzo's other laboratory either.

The Hokage breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that they hadn't found it; it was good that they hadn't found it.

Danzo was an experienced manipulator; how could he possibly leave behind evidence so easily?

Ryosuke was also a little disappointed, as this was the best evidence to bring down the Third Hokage. Suddenly, he also thought of it.

Their faces were all beaming with smiles.

"Isn't the Third Hokage right here? If you want to know whether the Third Hokage knows about spies, isn't that simple?"

"Wouldn't it be enough to just use mind-reading on the Third Hokage?"

The Third Hokage's expression suddenly changed drastically.

"You can't do that. I'm the Third Hokage."

Ryosuke said with a cold laugh.

"You're nothing more than a prisoner now."

"Although my Uchiha clan can also use the Sharingan to make you reveal your secrets, you will become an idiot or even die."

"My Uchiha clan is not an evil people, so please ask the clan head Yamanaka to use mind-reading on the Third Hokage."

Yamanaka Inoichi immediately agreed.

"it is good"

He might have hesitated before, but now that this has come to light, he has to get to the bottom of it.

Even the Third Hokage doing something like this would enrage him.

If not, then the Third Hokage's innocence will be cleared.

The Third Hokage's expression changed drastically; he was well aware of the Yamanaka clan's mind-reading abilities.

It is very likely that you will see the secrets in your heart clearly, and even other secrets may be revealed.

Then I would truly feel ashamed.

It can only stop the way.

"Mountain dweller, you can't do this. Have you forgotten how I helped your Ino-Shika-Cho family before? Without my support, where would you be today?"

He sighed.

The Hokage was well aware of the help the three clans had given them, but to unite with outsiders to attack their own people was still a major battle concerning the fate of the village.

This is a serious violation of the bottom line, and it is absolutely not allowed to be crossed.

"I apologize for offending the Third Hokage. If you are innocent, I will plead for leniency in your punishment."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage grew increasingly panicked as the mountain drew closer.

"Don't come near me, you ungrateful wretch."

Struggling to prevent the other party from casting spells.

Yamanaka was somewhat disappointed. Could it be that the Third Hokage had really betrayed them? Otherwise, why would he be so resistant? He was even more eager to know the truth.

"Please, the two members of the Uchiha clan, restrain the Third Hokage, otherwise I will not be able to find the Third Hokage's memories."

The two members of the Uchiha clan immediately restrained the Third Hokage's body, preventing him from struggling.

Unable to move his body, the Third Hokage watched as the hand drew ever closer from the mountain, and cried out in a hoarse voice.

"Don't try to read my mind. I admit that I sent the spy there."

The mountain's hand stopped, its eyes filled with disappointment, and even the clan heads who supported the Third Hokage looked disappointed.

Is this still their Hokage?

The image of a kind and protective villager has vanished, replaced by that of a despicable villain.

And the mountain dweller asked with even greater sorrow.

"Why do this?"

This is not just his question, but also the question of many others.

How could a village head do something so shameful?

The third generation replied helplessly.
