Hokage: Unable to persuade Madara, I chose to build my own ninja village.

Chapter 102 Three Strikes Shatter Allies' Bonds, Commander, I'm a Konoha Person!

With the urgent order from Senju Tobirama.

The ANBU ninjas immediately sprang into action.

As the saying goes.

A strong wind reveals the strength of the grass, and a rugged terrain reveals the loyalty of a minister.

Tobirama Senju also wanted to use this emergency operation to test his prestige and status in the village.

The dozens of ANBU ninjas stationed in the village on duty resolutely obeyed his orders. Upon receiving the message, they did not hesitate and immediately rushed over.

These dozens of Anbu ninjas are all jonin and special jonin, there is not even a chunin. If the current Hokage is not a non-human ninja like Senju Hashirama, he can control such an armed force to carry out a surprise attack and overthrow the regime of Konoha within a few hours. This is enough power to change the dynasty of a ninja village.

Upon receiving the news, the disciples rushed over without hesitation.

A slight smile appeared on Tobirama Senju's lips.

He was very satisfied with the test results this time.

of course

There are also some minor flaws.

"Put it away!"

"Who gave you permission to take out your shuriken and kunai? And... you, Danzo! You even took out explosive tags!"

Tobirama Senju looked at the fully armed Anbu ninjas, who held high-quality kunai and shuriken. Danzo Shimura had even prepared explosive tags... Loyalty!

"But, teacher, didn't your orders say that there were rioters gathering in Konoha, deliberately causing trouble, and even planning to storm the Hokage Building?"

"Those are villagers who have been misled. Our goal this time is to punish those who have been misled, to cure the disease and save the people, and to educate those who have been misled so that they will turn back from the brink!"

"Give me wooden batons to disperse the crowd, and send all the troublemakers to the secret service for a few days for ideological education, so they can reflect on their mistakes!"

Tobirama Senju swiftly characterized the incident as Konoha villagers being misled by bad people, questioning the Hokage's governing abilities, and even attempting to storm the Hokage Building.

That's absolutely outrageous!

Konoha is a legitimate military organization.

It's just disguised as a village.

The villagers' behavior would be intolerable to any military organization.

But the villagers were innocent after all. Tobirama Senju knew very well that someone was behind this. He had worked hard to build this village, and the villagers were part of it. They had just been misled and used as pawns. Naturally, he would not hurt them severely.

So this operation is to disperse the crowd and capture the villagers who want to cause trouble. We have to make a mental deal with them and punish them a little bit. Let them suffer a little physical pain. Anyway, there are medical ninjas in the village, so nothing serious will happen!

But one thing must be made clear to these villagers who want to cause trouble: the village's decisions are not something they can question. Whether they understand them or not, they must still comply!

"Yes, Lord Tobirama!"

A unified voice rang out.

Subsequently

Tobirama Senju, accompanied by his disciples and ANBU ninjas who had been fitted with wooden batons, arrived at the location where the villagers had gathered and were causing trouble.

Several teahouses and snack stalls are located in this area, and there is also a public training ground nearby. Villagers like to stroll around here when they have nothing to do. This is the place in Konoha where rumors are most easily spread and villagers' emotions are stirred up.

"The Hokage's incompetence in governance is a disgrace to Konoha. Look at the Akatsuki next door, how impressive they are! They fight wars without hesitation for the sake of their village's ninjas. Why is Konoha so quiet until now?"

"I heard that the Hokage doesn't participate in the management of the village; he's always been his younger brother."

"Hmph, no wonder they're so weak and incompetent."

"It would be better to let the Uchiha do it. If this continues, I'm planning to lead a group to protest at the Hokage Building. The village's orders are just too embarrassing for Konoha."

"There's no time like the present. Why don't you..."

Tobirama Senju looked at the hundreds of villagers gathered before him, his ears filled with their complaints. His face remained expressionless. These villagers, who had been misled, were dangerous. If one of them, without any sense, raised his arm and shouted, they might actually be able to incite them to protest at the Hokage Building.

So he waved his hand.

The Anbu ninjas lurking around received the signal and immediately scattered to surround the area. A small number of Anbu ninjas continued to lurk around, trying to catch the mastermind behind the scenes and ensure that no one escaped.

The ANBU ninjas quickly surrounded and approached the group of bewitched villagers.

"Who gave you permission to gather here and spread rumors and cause trouble!"

"Come on, all of you, come with me to the secret service for questioning!"

The villagers panicked when they saw dozens of masked ninjas in black combat suits. Even a fool would know that these menacing ninjas were coming for them.

The "Anbu" that the Anbu ninjas were talking about was something they had never even heard of.

Is there such a place in the village?

If they go, they probably won't come back!

Run! ! !

"You still dare to run?!"

The villagers' escape only fueled the ANBU ninjas' excitement.

They are all staunch supporters of the Senju clan behind Tobirama Senju.

What is the Uchiha clan?

You foolish villagers dare to slander the Hokage and Tobirama!

Do you want to die?

"The ANBU ninja actively integrated themselves with the villagers!"

"Three blows shatter our alliance! Sir, I am a Konoha citizen!"

"One blow to the leg to prevent the villagers from escaping, two blows to the mouth to prevent them from begging for mercy, and three blows to the head to prevent them from thinking!"

Danzo Shimura muttered to himself as he swung the wooden stick in his hand with great force.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty villagers had been captured. All of them were beaten and fled in terror, lying on the ground howling in pain.

"Danzo, you went a bit too far. Lord Tobirama only instructed us to give them a light punishment as a warning, how could you beat them up like this?"

Danzo Shimura was enjoying the thrill of striking six times in a second, the afterimages of his staff flashing as he swung them. He desperately hoped that Lord Tobirama would see his loyalty, and then he heard Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice beside him.

"Enough, Hiruzen! I, Shimura Danzo, am deeply indebted to Lord Tobirama. I made a grave mistake in the past, and the hundreds of millions of ryo I lost were enough to sell me out. I still can't repay that debt. But even so, Lord Tobirama showed leniency and took me as his disciple. I can never repay such a debt of gratitude!"

"You heard those villagers' dangerous remarks just now. They dared to question the Hokage and Tobirama! If we don't teach them a lesson this time, they won't learn their lesson."

Danzo Shimura never forgot the kindness of Tobirama Senju. Tobirama had covered his deficit of hundreds of millions of ryo, and then Tobirama even took him as a disciple. How could he ever repay such kindness?

The only way to prove one's loyalty is through concrete actions!

"You'll regret this!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head.

Although he was also swinging his staff, it was only once per second. Hiruzen Sarutobi felt that Danzo was going too far. Although these villagers were at fault, they didn't deserve to be beaten like this, even with medical ninjas to cover for them.

"Hmph, aren't you disloyal!"

"Don't forget that you, Hiruzen Sarutobi, also owed Tobirama a debt of gratitude."

Danzo Shimura said with a pursed lip.

The speed of his hands increased once again.

In the blink of an eye, two more villagers were knocked to the ground by Shimura Danzo. Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed. He couldn't bear the stigma of disloyalty, so he had no choice but to speed up his swings.

The remaining ANBU ninjas were also striving to demonstrate their loyalty, actively capturing villagers who wanted to cause trouble. The villagers fled in all directions, causing the surrounding teahouses and snack stalls to be completely overturned.

The villagers, who were powerless to even kill a chicken, were naturally powerless against the ferocious ANBU ninjas. If they obediently covered their heads and squatted on the ground, they could avoid being hit by a few blows. However, if they resisted arrest or even tried to fight back, their fate would be six blows per second.

The noise and cries rose and fell.

quickly

All the villagers who tried to cause trouble here were arrested.

"Teacher, all these thugs have been arrested and brought back to their posts!"

With a smile on his face, Shimura Danzo couldn't wait to show his loyalty to Senju Tobirama, as all the thugs present had already been arrested.

"Danzo, these are villagers of Konoha. Don't say anything that could undermine unity. Lock them all up in the Anbu. If they're injured, immediately arrange for medical ninjas to treat them. Then, give them a pep talk. Tonight, I want to see some of their letters of repentance!"

Tobirama Senju corrected Danzo Shimura's mistake and continued issuing commands. Danzo nodded, thinking that his teacher was too kind-hearted; these thugs and villagers had only suffered minor injuries and would recover after some rest.

Lord Tobirama even arranged for precious medical ninjas to treat them, and it's estimated that the villagers wouldn't even have to pay for the consultations. Medical ninjas are extremely rare, and even ordinary chunin and genin who are injured on missions don't receive such free treatment!

A public opinion storm was quelled by powerful forces and temporarily subsided.

News of the Konoha Unlimited Fighting Tournament inevitably spread. After all, it was a massive brawl involving hundreds of people, and it was impossible to keep it a secret. There were even villagers watching the spectacle from the sidelines outside the stage of the brawl.

The sight of hundreds of villagers being captured by ninjas truly horrified the villagers who were watching.

They were terrified of being the next to be arrested, so they all behaved themselves timidly.

The teahouse owners were also taken away by the ANBU ninjas for investigation.

It was only that evening.

The owners of all the restaurants, teahouses, and other establishments in the village uniformly hung signs in their shops that read "Do not discuss village affairs," fearing that a talkative villager might gossip in their establishment and cause them to suffer an undeserved disaster, or even be taken away by the village's ninjas.

evening.

Unaware of this, Hashirama Senju strolled through the streets of Konoha as usual. He noticed that there were far fewer villagers than usual, and a sign he had never seen before appeared in the restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the street: "Do not discuss village affairs."

even.

Villagers walking on the road would greet him warmly on ordinary days.

Today, only a few villagers were forced to greet him when they bumped into him; most villagers deliberately avoided Hashirama Senju.

Ninjas and ordinary people are practically two different kinds of beings. Hashirama Senju always led the way in treating the villagers with courtesy and gentleness. Although the Uchiha were unruly and had a bad attitude when patrolling, they really had no interest in trying to show off in front of ordinary villagers, unless the villagers actually violated the village rules.

Several years have passed.

Konoha uses the gentleness of the strong.

And the village's rules—"Konoha ninjas are forbidden from using ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, or other violent means against villagers; violators will be severely punished!"

This made the villagers briefly forget how they should treat the ninja.

Today, the ANBU ninjas' powerful wielding of wooden sticks served as a reminder to them of their identity and status once again.

After all, ninjas are not of the same class as the villagers. On weekdays, ninjas can live in peace and gentleness with the villagers, and as a vulnerable group, the villagers can even receive preferential treatment. However, once they cross the red line set by the village and violate the will of the Nine Thousand Year Old Shadow Hokage, they will be punished with an iron fist, and there will be no room for reason.

As for whether it would violate the principle—"Konoha ninjas are prohibited from using ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, or other violent means against villagers; violators will be severely punished!"

Sorry, but it's not possible in principle.

But the principles are now in Tobirama Senju's hands.

"What's going on? The atmosphere in the village is so strange today."

Why do the villagers seem so afraid of me today?

Hashirama Senju was slow to react, but he quickly realized the change in the atmosphere in the village. So he immediately stopped a villager who avoided him whenever he met him, wanting to find out what had happened in the village.

"Lord Hokage, please don't hit me!!"

"Don't let the ninjas take me away for investigation!"

"I was wrong!"

"I shouldn't have gone to the teahouse the day before yesterday to speak ill of you!"

"I was wrong!!"

The villagers who had been grabbed by Hashirama Senju were so frightened that they were speechless.

Not only him, but all the villagers who had previously attended the gathering and spoken ill of Hashirama Senju were now filled with unease, fearing that a ninja would suddenly break into their homes and take them away.

Obviously.

The villagers who were pulled away by Hashirama Senju had previously participated in the rally, where they not only expressed their dissatisfaction with the village but also verbally attacked Hashirama Senju, which is only human nature.

People who are too nice are easily targeted and end up with a gun pointed at them!

They all knew that Hashirama was a kind-hearted person, and this image had been maintained for so long that even ordinary villagers dared to say a few bad things about him behind his back.

But now the iron fist has already come crashing down.

Naturally, the villager was scared to death.

He now deeply regrets his past disrespect towards the Hokage, and even more so, he regrets that such a major incident has occurred in the village, and that he was supposed to go out to buy things in the evening, only to be caught red-handed by the Hokage.

"What are you talking about?!"

Why would I hit you?

"I won't send ninjas to arrest you for investigation!"
