After my triumphs and defeats, I created multiple aliases across countless worlds.

But what Byakuya did was kill the Hokage's assistant.

"If he's going to target me and Tsunade, I can't just sit here and wait to die! I'm not like you, Third Hokage!"

Byakuya said bluntly, "If it weren't for Hiruzen Sarutobi's indulgence over the years..."

Danzo could never be that arrogant.

Ultimately, isn't all of this blamed on Hiruzen Sarutobi?

At this point, he still has the nerve to ask himself if he knows what he's doing?!

If he doesn't know what he's doing, then who does?!

"But even if I wouldn't say anything about killing an entire village's Hokage's assistant, your identity is too sensitive..."

A member of the Uchiha clan assassinated the village's Hokage's assistant.

In short, given this situation, the other ninja clans cannot simply stand by and watch.

Of course, the Third Generation could also block the news, but the Root organization couldn't possibly say that it was impossible for no one to know anything about it.

"Don't worry, I will leave Konoha."

"what?"

"I said I would leave, and nominally I would become a rogue ninja and leave Konoha. I will take responsibility for this. After that, Tsunade will become a Kage. Kage do not need to bear responsibility or darkness. Kage must be in the light. Isn't this what you and Danzo did before?!"

What the hell!

I've wanted to leave Konoha for a long time.

Seeing the shocked look in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, Byakuya felt quite pleased.

The reason I say this is simply to make myself sound more noble and to make the sacrifices seem greater.

Then, before leaving, take a share of the benefits from Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Since I'm going to leave anyway, I might as well make myself look like someone who had to leave because I was wronged and had to do it to protect the Hokage!

ahem...

Thinking about it this way, I really am too evil!?

Chapter 91 - Hiruzen Sarutobi: This kid's understanding of the Will of Fire is higher than mine!

Bai Ye, that child... truly inherited the Will of Fire...

And not just a little bit!!

Hiruzen Sarutobi also harbored high admiration for Byakuya at this moment. Was he another child like Itachi and Shisui?!

They were willing to go to such lengths for the newly appointed Hokage.

Will of Fire!!!

Looking at the Third Generation's eyes, Bai Ye felt a strange sensation.

Is it because his old best friend died that he's planning to find a new one?

"Ahem, even though that's what I say, I won't let you suffer like this!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent for a moment, then coughed lightly, preparing himself to take the blame for Byakuya.

Ultimately, I already have a stain on my record.

There is no need to sacrifice a child who has already inherited the Will of Fire.

The fact that he could think this way shows that he has a high level of awareness and understanding; there is no need for Bai Ye to leave Konoha.

Hiruzen Sarutobi has already made up his mind.

He claimed to have discovered Danzo's secret hideout, where horrifying experiments were being conducted.

As the Hokage, he was prepared to capture Danzo, but Danzo chose to end his life by committing suicide.

Although I feel somewhat sorry for my old friend, having to take the blame for Danzo's death.

But... in essence, wasn't that what he did?

It's just that these things have been made public.

Although Danzo's reputation was sacrificed, the Third Hokage believed it was well worth it to save a child who had inherited the Will of Fire.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ye immediately became anxious.

No!? Are you alright?

Are you out of your mind?

That's your best friend, how could you just give up on him like that?

In Byakuya's view, his proposal seemed to preserve Danzo's reputation, allowing him to leave Konoha as a rogue ninja while also protecting the reputation of the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade.

Having swallowed all your grievances and left like this, shouldn't you, as the Hokage, give yourself some compensation?

Bai Ye was already planning to leave, so naturally she didn't feel wronged.

But if Hiruzen Sarutobi is planning to leave me here, wouldn't that be doing more harm than good?

Therefore, he could no longer allow Hiruzen Sarutobi to perform at his best.

With a grim face, Byakuya looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a 'serious' expression and said, "No! Right now, someone needs to take the blame. It's not just about the matter between Danzo and Tsunade, but also about the matter between Konoha and the Uchiha clan."

This time I killed Danzo, so you can have Tsunade arrange for the Uchiha to have no connection with him. This will ease tensions between the two sides and benefit the relationship between the Uchiha and Konoha in the future.

"It's just a matter of sacrificing myself, but everyone else benefits, so I think it's worth it!"

The more Bai Ye talked, the more he felt it was true, and he even started to believe it himself!

Since that's already been said, I believe Hiruzen Sarutobi has no reason to let me stay any longer, right?

"Child, your understanding of the Will of Fire is even greater than mine!"

If Byakuya had appeared years earlier, the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha would not have been so tense.

hateful!

This child perfectly inherited the Will of Fire, yet he has to leave Konoha because of something like this.

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt increasingly distressed as he thought about it; he felt he had let Byakuya down so badly.

From initially advising himself to resolve the issues between the Uchiha clan and Konoha, to searching for Tsunade, and finally choosing to shoulder everything for the sake of Konoha and Tsunade!

He was simply... Hiruzen Sarutobi was devastated.

"Well, we can talk about the Will of Fire later. Before you leave, give me some money, and then give me some secret techniques. My life will be uncertain from now on, and I don't know what will happen, so... Hokage... how strong is your Will of Fire?"

"what?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was still indulging in self-pity.

He even felt guilty about what happened.

Then Bai Ye suddenly said something like, "What do you mean by 'the Will of Fire can be discussed later'? What's with the money and secret technique I'm giving you?"

So, do you want money and secret techniques, or are you some kind of inheritor of the Will of Fire?

For a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't even know what to say.

"You know I left home when I was young. Can you bear to see me like this?"

Silence fell as Hiruzen Sarutobi took a drag of his cigarette, pondering what to do. In the end, he compromised.

After all, Bai Ye was right; no one wanted to defect.

The Uchiha clan issue is now largely resolved.

Therefore, Bai Ye had no reason to defect.

That's why she chose to leave; she couldn't let Bai Ye down.

"Okay, I got it. I'll take you to see the Book of Sealing later."

In just this short period of time, Bai Ye has already read the Book of Sealing three times.

Hiruzen Sarutobi decided to let him see everything.

Currently, apart from certain specific ninjutsu, there seems to be no need to hide anything.

The Impure World Reincarnation and the Undead Reincarnation would definitely not be shown to Byakuya.

His own disciple, Orochimaru, went astray because of these two techniques.

Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already decided that these two techniques would never be used against him again.

"Then you should say goodbye to your family first, and I will announce this later."

Sitting at the base, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not leave immediately.

He wanted to stay here for a while longer.

"it is good."
