With that, Chiho stood in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi, pointed at his nose, and said:

"Danzo is hateful! But the most hateful one is you, Third Hokage!"

You have allowed Danzo to act recklessly and disregarded the contributions of our Uchiha clan to Konoha.

Indecisive and hesitant in doing things!

Before the Fourth Hokage was seriously injured and fell into a coma, he had almost reached a reconciliation with our Uchiha clan. They had already shown you a clear path, so why did you turn a blind eye?

He holds the position of Hokage, yet he doesn't do what a Hokage should do.

What right do you have to stay in this position?!

Faced with the Cloud Village's aggressive actions, you allowed the Hyuga branch family's Jonin, Hizashi, to die unjustly. You're afraid of war, but isn't the Cloud Village afraid too?

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed. Danzo hadn't been saved yet, and now the fire had spread to him. Faced with Chiho's accusation, he didn't refute it, but instead said with a look of shame, "Chiho, you're right. These are all my faults as the Third Hokage. It's my dereliction of duty."

"Chiho, what right do you have to criticize the Third Generation like that!"

“Three generations of elders have dedicated decades to the village; you have no right to speak of him like that.”

"The affairs of our Hyuga clan are none of the Uchiha clan's business."

The Jonin from the Third Hokage's faction all spoke up in rebuttal, and even the Jonin from the Hyuga clan couldn't help but speak up.

“That’s true. Your Hyuga clan are all cowards. It really shouldn’t be mentioned.” Chiho nodded.

"What did you say?!" The Hyuga clan ninjas glared angrily.

At this moment, "Uchiha Issei" said loudly: "Everyone, you may not know the inside story yet, right? The Cloud Village World Group went to Konoha under the pretext of deepening the alliance, but their leader sneaked into the Hyuga clan leader's mansion in the middle of the night and attempted to kidnap Hinata. As a result, he was killed on the spot by Hiashi."

However, the ninjas of Kumogakure turned the tables and threatened war, demanding that Konoha hand over Hiashi.

The Hyuga clan and our Third Hokage compromised with the Kumogakure, whose strength was inferior to ours, because they were afraid of war, and sent Hiashi's twin brother, Hizashi, to die in his place.

"A village like this has long lost the Will of Fire!"

The Jonin, unaware of the situation, looked astonished.

"what?!"

"Hizashi died like this?"

"Is that so?"

Even if this is an internal matter of the Hyuga clan, it is still a matter of Konoha. Doing this is truly disheartening!

Hizashi was a member of the Hyuga branch family, but he was also a Jonin of Konoha!

No wonder Uchiha Issei made sarcastic remarks about the Will of Fire.

"I regret what happened to Hijiri. The village can no longer endure war." Hiruzen Sarutobi's face showed even deeper remorse.

"Everyone, since the Uchiha clan has already broken ties with the higher-ups today, let's go all the way," Chiho said. "The Third Hokage! He is no longer fit to be Hokage!"

As soon as Chiho finished speaking, a Jonin from the crowd retorted, "The Third Hokage wasn't qualified to be Hokage, so do you think you are? Your Uchiha clan has been coveting the Hokage position for quite some time now!"

"Why are they not qualified? Anyone who is recognized can become Hokage. This is the will of the First Hokage and one of the core elements of the Will of Fire. But have you seen the reality?"

Even wanting to become Hokage is a covetous thought, so you all know that unless you're a member of the Senju clan, you have absolutely no chance of becoming Hokage, right?!

Chiho countered with a question.

"Uchiha Issei continued, "After the battle with Iwagakure, the Third Hokage resigned, and who succeeded him? The Fourth Hokage!"

Our Uchiha clan has no objection to him becoming Hokage, because the Fourth Hokage was known for his fairness.

But don't forget, the reason why the Fourth Hokage became Hokage from a commoner was not only because of his character and strength, but most importantly because he was the grand-disciple of the Third Hokage and a disciple of Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin.

Even if the third generation were to abdicate again now, who would be the successor?

They'll probably choose from Jiraiya, Tsunade, or their disciples, right?

Do the rest of us have a chance?

No!

This is the essence of the succession of the Hokage position!

To become Hokage, you don't need everyone's approval; you need to join the Hokage's faction and gain the Hokage's approval!

Uchiha Issei's words resonated with many ninjas.

Many people did not support Minato Namikaze when he first took office, but he was able to become Hokage thanks to the strong support of the Third Hokage.

Apart from Minato Namikaze, there weren't many people qualified to be Hokage in terms of seniority, battle achievements, and strength, but you could definitely find a few from other ninja clans. The reason why Minato Namikaze successfully rose to the position was exactly as Uchiha Issei said.

"After all that talk, isn't it just that your Uchiha clan wants more power?" This time, someone still objected, but the vast majority remained silent.

"You underestimate the ambition of the Uchiha clan!" Chiho said coldly. "Back then, the Uchiha and Senju clans joined hands to establish Konoha in order to create a peaceful and harmonious family. Now, the nature of that family has changed."

We, the Uchiha clan, can't outmaneuver you in political games!

Therefore, we, the Uchiha clan, will not be entertaining you any longer!

"In my capacity as the head of the Uchiha clan, I hereby declare the Uchiha clan's withdrawal from the Konoha Ninja Alliance!"

As soon as Chiho finished speaking, everyone was shocked and panicked.

"what?!"

"Leave Konoha?"

"Did I hear that right?"

"It can't be that bad, can it?"

"Chiho, calm down."

"If there's any conflict, let's sit down and talk it over calmly. It doesn't have to escalate like this!"

Konoha has nearly 20,000 regular ninjas, and even after the Third Shinobi World War, the number of ninjas has remained at around 10,000.

However, the vast majority of them are genin and chunin.

There are only four or five hundred Jonin, a high-level combat force, and the Uchiha clan alone accounts for about one-tenth of the Jonin combat force.

Moreover, the Uchiha clan produces a constant stream of geniuses in each generation.

Konoha can suppress the Uchiha, can exclude the Uchiha, but it absolutely cannot do without the Uchiha.

The Uchiha clan's defection from Konoha was a devastating blow to the village.

Thousands of Uchiha clan members and over a hundred Uchiha ninjas, whether they establish their own ninja village or join another, will become Konoha's rivals.

With this shift in power, Konoha absolutely cannot afford it.

Even the clan leaders of the various ninja clans who had been watching coldly were now panicked.

Without the Uchiha clan, what will happen in the next Shinobi World War?

Konoha can live without the Third Hokage and Danzo, but it absolutely cannot live without the Uchiha clan!

[215. Chapter 211 The Uchiha's Victory (Part 4)]

"Leave Konoha!"

"Let's establish our own ninja village!"

"Don't stay in Konoha and suffer any more!"

With the atmosphere reaching this point, the emotions of many Uchiha clan members also rose.

So Konoha insists on playing political games with the Uchiha clan, right?

We can't win, so let's just quit!

"The Uchiha clan simply wants more political power. Is it really necessary to escalate this to this point? We can discuss the conditions gradually. It won't come to the point of them leaving Konoha."

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, the two Hokage advisors, arrived late. Upon hearing Chiho's decision to lead the Uchiha clan to break away from Konoha, they immediately backed down and attempted to sow discord among the Uchiha clan members.

“From the founding of the village, the Uchiha have been a part of Konoha. Even if you are the clan leader, Chiho, you can't represent the will of all the Uchiha, can you?”

"If the Uchiha leave Konoha, where can they go? Establishing a new ninja village is no easy task. A country that can accommodate a ninja clan of the size of the Uchiha is certainly not a small country."

"Furthermore, establishing a ninja village requires substantial financial support, which is not something the Uchiha clan is good at."

"If the Uchiha clan wanted to join another village, their situation would probably not be as good as it is in Konoha."

"Indeed, with the strength of the Uchiha clan, joining other villages might not be difficult, but would they really be treated fairly?"

"In each of the Shinobi World Wars, other villages have formed a deep-seated hatred with Konoha, and the hatred between the Uchiha clan and other villages is not something that can be easily resolved."

"The Uchiha clan is strong, but you have hundreds or thousands of clan members behind you. They are not ninjas, they are just ordinary people. Have you ever thought about whether they are willing to leave Konoha, where generations have lived?"

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado's back-and-forth conversation gradually calmed the previously agitated Uchiha clan members down.

Indeed, as the two said, the Uchiha would encounter many troubles if they left Konoha.

However, compared to being mistreated in Konoha, the younger generation of Uchiha are more willing to try to fight for themselves, while the older generation feel that they can use today's events to fight for the rights that the Uchiha clan deserves. If they can stay in Konoha, they naturally don't want to leave.

Because their roots are in Konoha, they consider this place their home.

"Chiho, I think we should discuss the idea of ​​leaving Konoha more carefully?"

Fugaku came up to Chiho and couldn't help but step forward to offer some advice.

The incident involving Shisui was a trigger that completely ignited the rage of the Uchiha clan.

However, Fugaku felt that after calm reflection, leaving Konoha was not the best option. If there was anything to talk about, it would be better to sit down and discuss it.

Upon hearing this, Issei (Baiyu)'s face darkened. He wondered whether Fugaku Uchiha was considering the bigger picture or simply lacked any ability to negotiate.

Even if the Uchiha clan ultimately doesn't leave Konoha, they still need to appear resolute now. Otherwise, given the nature of Konoha's higher-ups, how could they possibly grant the Uchiha the rights they deserve?

Even before others have given their consent, they immediately show hesitation after just a little persuasion, instantly revealing their hand to others. This is not the behavior of someone who is about to do something big.

Based on Issei's (Baiyu's) understanding of the current Konoha leadership, if the Uchiha continue to stay in Konoha, they will be played to death sooner or later.

There are very few people in the Uchiha clan who are politically astute.

Moreover, Yicheng (Baiyu) has been planning and scheming for so long, how could he let someone disrupt things just when he was about to reap the rewards?

Since Fugaku Uchiha is wavering, let's just kick him out!
