In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 167 The Old Monkey Faces Condemnation from the People of Konoha

Chiya continued, "I might as well go all the way and wipe out the families of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura. That would be a way of comforting the many who died in the Nine-Tails' attack."

"What I didn't expect this time was that, in order to leave a good name for himself before and after his death, he actually stood by and watched his own disciple launch this farce of the Konoha Collapse Plan. It's really tragic."

At this point, Chiya pointed at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said, "Take a good look. This is your Third Hokage. See what kind of scoundrel this wicked old man really is."

After listening to Chiya's words, the First Hokage sighed helplessly, then looked at the Third Hokage again, his eyes filled with disappointment. "Monkey, is all of this true?"

"First Hokage, please let me explain." Upon hearing this, a hint of guilt flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes. He wanted to refute, but his words seemed so pale and powerless.

Although Chiya's statement that he tacitly agreed to Danzo releasing the Nine-Tails was false, it is true that the Sarutobi clan is a parasite on Konoha.

Seeing the Third Hokage's guilty look, the First Hokage grew even more disappointed. He turned to the Second Hokage and sighed, "Tobirama, you've misjudged him."

"Brother, this brat is a rogue ninja, don't trust him." The Second Hokage chose to defend the Third Hokage.

Although he no longer believed in the Third Hokage, the Third Hokage was still the Hokage of Konoha.

As a symbol of Konoha, he would uphold these beliefs even if they were true.

"Then how do you explain Danzo? The Sharingan on his arm and my cells don't seem fake. Tobirama, how many times have I told you not to underestimate the Uchiha?" The First Hokage, known for his bold and forthright personality, said sternly.

"Alright, brother, now is not the time to talk about this."

Tobirama Senju interrupted Hashirama, his gaze returning to Senya, his eyes flashing with undisguised killing intent. "Kid, I don't care what your reasons are. But as a Konoha ninja, you defected from the village. Now you're telling us all this just to excuse your defection?"

"No, I never intended to exonerate myself; I simply wanted to give everyone the truth." Qianye smiled, grasping the Mirror Flower Water Moon in her right hand, and whispered, "Shatter, Mirror Flower Water Moon."

Suddenly, the images in the eyes of Hiruzen Sarutobi, the First Hokage, and the Second Hokage shattered instantly, like mirrors. Including Kakashi and Might Guy, the area around the Four Purple Flame Formation was now densely packed with ninjas.

Outside the dome where the Four Purple Flame Array was located, a large number of people had gathered.

These are all villagers who came specifically to watch the Chunin Exams.

Almost everyone had a photo of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura celebrating together.

Those who had lost loved ones because of the Nine-Tails' attack were filled with rage, some even shouting in uncontrollable fury, "First Hokage, Second Hokage, kill Hiruzen Sarutobi, that demon, and avenge our families! And don't let that Shimura Danzo get away with it either!"

Once there's a first one, there will be a second.

The public, who had previously revered the three generations, suddenly became lenient.

Suddenly, the entire audience erupted in shouts of abuse.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who always valued his reputation above all else, felt as if the sky had fallen.

With a deafening roar, as if struck by lightning.

He was unsteady on his feet and almost collapsed to the ground.

Are these still the same Konoha citizens who used to worship and love him? Why does he look so much like a demon seeking death?

"Alright, First Hokage, Second Hokage, the rest of the battle is in your hands. Orochimaru, I've finished speaking. Now, begin your epic battle." Chiya turned to Orochimaru.

At this moment, only Orochimaru was under the control of the Mirror Flower Water Moon, so he was unaware of the Four Purple Flame Formation, or that the dome was surrounded by people.

In his understanding, there were only five people, including himself and the Sound Four, who heard Chiyo talking to the three Hokage.

Upon hearing Chiya's words, Orochimaru extended his thick, long snake head, licked his lips, and a sinister smile appeared on his face. "Chiya-kun really has a twisted sense of humor. This old man is about to die, and you still can't resist bringing up his shortcomings. Well then, let's begin."

As he spoke, Orochimaru took out two kunai with inscribed talismans from his waist and embedded them into the back of the heads of the two Hokage, who immediately erased the killers' consciousness.

"Then I'll be going now." Qianye smiled faintly, summoned a crow, and once again released Mirror Flower Water Moon in front of everyone.

"Damn it, where do you think you're going? For the sake of Konoha, I'm going to make sure you stay here forever."

Seeing that Chiyo wanted to leave, and that he was completely disgraced and had nothing left to lose, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly formed hand seals.

Without hesitation, he unleashed the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique.

Unlike the original story, he went through a fierce battle with the first and second generations.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi was in peak physical and chakra condition.

As Chuck finished forming the hand seals with Hiruzen Sarutobi and clasped his hands together, a huge phantom of the Grim Reaper suddenly appeared behind him.

"seal."

With a fierce shout, Hiruzen Sarutobi unleashed a phantom of death claws that hovered behind him, piercing through Hiruzen's back and then releasing from his chest. Using his body as a medium, it lunged at Chiya.

Only the caster and the target of the spell can see the phantom of Death.

Before Orochimaru and everyone else in the arena could react, the once incredibly powerful 'Chiya' slowly collapsed, his eyes dimmed, and he completely lost his life.

"Is this the ninjutsu that Lord Chiya spoke of, a suicidal attack? It's indeed dangerous." Seeing 'Chiya' fall, Yekura's face did not show any worry, only her brows furrowed slightly.

Because she knew that her Lord Chiya would not die from a move of this magnitude.

After seeing that he had sealed away 'Chiya's' soul, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally revealed a gleeful smile on his hideous old face, and he laughed maniacally, "Haha. Dead, this damned traitor is finally dead, dead by my hand."

"What...what exactly happened? What did the Third Hokage do just now? How could he kill Senya?" Orochimaru broke out in a cold sweat.

Then, recalling Chiya's illusion technique, Orochimaru forced a smile and feigned composure, saying, "Chiya-kun really loves to joke, isn't he? Playing dead again."

"No need to shout anymore, Orochimaru. No matter how powerful this kid's genjutsu is, he won't survive, because his soul has already been sealed by me."

However, before he could finish speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice rang out from the other end.

"What does this mean?" Orochimaru was shocked. He had never heard of a ninjutsu that could seal a soul.
