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

Chapter 376 Orochimaru's "Possession by Thousand Nights"

"Ah, that's right." Orochimaru glanced at the Fourth Hokage with some surprise, and continued, "Because Chiya is in a relationship with a girl from the Uchiha clan, she often appears in Uchiha clan territory."

"And so, he and a ninja from the Uchiha clan named Uchiha Itachi became spies for the Uchiha clan, keeping an eye on each other."

"Then, after experiencing a series of events, the Uchiha clan finally reached that point: a coup."

The second-generation scoffed, "Stubborn fool. Truly a born evil race."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke frowned, and then heard Hashirama across from him say, "Tobirama, how many times have I told you not to treat the Uchiha with this attitude?"

"I'm speaking to this young man, so please shut up, brother." Tobirama arrogantly turned his head away and crossed his arms.

However, when facing the Uchiha clan, he never listened to Hashirama.

"Heh, so-called innate evil, wasn't it all forced out of you, Second Hokage?" Orochimaru patted Sasuke on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down, and continued, "The policies you left for posterity are nothing but trouble."

"For example, when you set up the Konoha Police Force, law enforcers are easily hated. But you, in order to drive the Uchiha clan out of Konoha and into a corner, put the Konoha Police Force and the prison together."

"This is why, after the Uchiha clan gained power, they became unable to recognize their own identity amidst the hatred of the villagers, and their relationship with the village became ambiguous."

"It was better when you were alive, but after you died, at least you knew how to give a good treat after a bad beating."

"But since your death, the Third Hokage you chose and your other disciple Danzo have only inherited your policy of suppression."

"A heavy blow was dealt to the Uchiha. Second Hokage, it was your policies and your two disciples that drove the Uchiha to the brink of destruction."

Orochimaru recounted what he had discussed with Chiya about the Uchiha clan massacre.

"Tobirama, how many times have I told you not to underestimate the Uchiha?" Hashirama rebuked his younger brother sternly after hearing Orochimaru's words.

Tobirama defended himself, saying, "I was just trying to prevent the next Madara from appearing. Although the monkey and Danzo's methods were a bit extreme, they weren't wrong."

"Second Hokage." The Third Hokage looked deeply moved.

"Are you really not wrong?" Orochimaru chuckled, as if possessed by Chiya, and began to list Hiruzen Sarutobi's faults one by one. "After the Second Shinobi World War ended, because White Fang made great contributions, he had a very high reputation in Konoha, and there were even calls for him to become the Fourth Hokage."

"Our Third Hokage just let his old friend Danzo, who also wanted to become the Fourth Hokage, set a trap."

"Under the pretext of carrying out an S-rank mission, they presented White Fang with a choice: save his comrades and abandon the mission, or carry out the mission and sacrifice his comrades' lives."

"Regardless of the reason, Danzo would use the power of public opinion to attack White Fang afterward."

"White Fang chose his allies, and then he was condemned. In the end, even the ally he rescued stood up to condemn him. Then White Fang's worldview shattered."

"He lost hope in the village, so he chose to commit suicide."

"Our Third Hokage didn't intervene at all. Rather, it was the outcome he was happy to see. However, neither he nor Danzo probably expected that fighting White Fang would lead to their deaths."

"How ironic, isn't it? A ninja who made great contributions in the Second Shinobi World War didn't die on the battlefield, but died in the darkness of the village."

"If White Fang hadn't died, with him as a deterrent, Konoha might not have lost so many people in the Third Shinobi World War."

Even Orochimaru himself found it hard to believe when he said those words.

Although he was dissatisfied with the three generations of old men, he still had some feelings for them. When did he become so fond of standing up for others?

Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Tobirama was immediately enraged and questioned the Third Hokage, "Monkey, is what Orochimaru said true?"

It's true that he doesn't trust the Uchiha clan, but that doesn't mean he truly doesn't trust or care for his comrades.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to cover the rear alone when facing the Golden Horn and Silver Horn, and then died on the battlefield.

If what Orochimaru said is true, then the Third Hokage's actions inadvertently crossed his bottom line.

Let alone the second generation, even the first and fourth generations couldn't stand it anymore.

Hashirama said sternly, "Monkey, you have disappointed me greatly."

Minato was filled with self-blame and guilt. "No wonder Naruto's childhood was so miserable, he couldn't even solve the most basic problem of food and clothing. I misjudged you, Third Hokage."

"Second Hokage, First Hokage, I am Minato." Hiruzen Sarutobi felt extremely ashamed under the gaze of the three.

Orochimaru continued, "White Fang was just the first, and he will certainly not be the last. After him, there are countless others, such as Hizashi of the Hyuga clan, and even Minato's child, Naruto Uzumaki, was in my, the Third Hokage's, scheme. It's just that none of them are known to anyone."

"Until the last person appeared, yes, it was Fujiwara Chiya."

"This is someone who has never appeared before and will never appear again. Without bloodline or the guidance of a master, he started from humble beginnings and, without anyone knowing, possessed strength surpassing the Five Kage of the present day."

"At the same time, he was also the first person to see through the true nature of the ninja world. Unlike Madara's extreme despair in the face of the ninja world, he sought the Infinite Tsukuyomi."

"He knows everything and understands everything. But by nature he's rather lazy and doesn't like trouble."

"I knew that the moment I first saw him in the Akatsuki."

"Barring unforeseen circumstances, he will never make any changes."

"Until I, Sarutobi-sensei, and Danzo, naively thought they were in control of everything."

"On one hand, under the pretext of protecting Itachi's younger brother, Sasuke, he ordered Itachi to join forces with Chiya to slaughter the Uchiha clan, who were about to stage a coup, and then killed Chiya and his girlfriend afterwards. On the other hand, under the pretext of protecting Chiya's girlfriend, he ordered Chiya to join forces with Itachi to wipe out the Uchiha clan, and then killed Itachi afterwards."

"Little did they know, their tricks might work against ordinary ninjas, but they're far from effective against a ninja of Chiya's caliber."

"He won't be bound by the village."

That night, Chiya decided to go all the way and slaughtered the Sarutobi and Shimura clans.

"Tsk tsk, Danzo is alright, he didn't put his heart and soul into the Shimura family, but this directly caused our Sarutobi-sensei's years of hard work to go to waste."

"You should know that even during the Nine-Tails' rampage, in such a critical moment, he did not allow any Sarutobi clan ninjas to participate in the battle."

"Even Chiya was shocked at the time. He never expected that a small Sarutobi clan, after experiencing the three Shinobi World Wars, would not only not suffer heavy losses like other clans, but would actually be able to produce thousands of ninjas."

"As expected of Sarutobi-sensei, he burned Konoha to provide nourishment for the Sarutobi clan."

Hiruzen Sarutobi roared in fury, "Nonsense! The Nine-Tails' rampage! My clan's ninjas waiting in battle were clearly all killed by this mysterious person! That's not true!"

Before he could finish speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi regretted it. Wasn't this a tacit admission that he really hadn't sent any Sarutobi clan ninjas to participate in the war?

The phrase "ready for battle" alone says it all.
