Revitalize Uchiha, start with crazy childbirth

"Hokage-sama, the Uchiha clan...are not present."

"Huh? Didn't the people under your command inform them?"

“I notified him, but he didn’t come.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face darkened, and then he shook his head: "Forget it, if you don't want to come, then don't come..."

He knew why Xia Yu didn't come, after all, Xia Yu knew the truth about Danzo.

Otherwise, he would not have attacked Danzo...

The funeral ceremony was halfway through, after everyone had laid white flowers in front of Danzo's tombstone, Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed twice and prepared to tell everyone something.

But before he could speak.

Suddenly, there were loud explosions in the sky not far away.

"Bang! Ding!"

"Bang! Crackling..."

Everyone heard the sound and looked around.

"What's that sound? Did Danzo come back to life? Or was the grave struck by lightning?"

"No, it's fireworks! Someone is setting off fireworks in the village!"

"Good fellow, who is so bold as to set off fireworks on the anniversary of Danzo-sama's death?"

"Looking in this direction, it seems to be the Uchiha clan's territory..."

"I remember that Lord Danzo was brought down by Xia Yu of the Uchiha clan. Setting off fireworks at this time, tsk tsk..."

"Grab the bamboo shoots, grab the bamboo shoots!"

……

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned pale, and he immediately ordered the Anbu beside him: "Go and see what the Uchiha is doing?"

"Yes!"

The Anbu's actions were indeed swift and decisive.

Within a few minutes, the Anbu members returned to Sarutobi Hiruzen's side.

"Hokage-sama, Uchiha Xia Yu is holding a wedding..."

"A wedding? Didn't he have one a year ago?"

"Uh, Lord Hokage, this time... it's the wedding of Xia Yu and his newly-hired wives..."

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was almost furious at this moment. Xia Yu really didn't give him face.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen was very good at this little trick of not showing his emotions on his face. He smiled slightly:

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. Maybe it just happened that the dates coincided. After Danzo's funeral is over, you can follow me to the Uchiha clan's territory."

"Yes! Hokage-sama."

After giving the instructions, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked to the center and said, "Everyone, stop looking at the fireworks. Come, look at me. I have a few words to say at the end of this funeral."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for coming here to attend Danzo's funeral. Let me start with his achievements. Danzo has fought for our Konoha Village his entire life. He is now 65 years old. This life can be considered glorious."

"Secondly, I will tell you about his sins, which is what you are most concerned about."

Hearing this, everyone stretched their necks.

This is not gossip, but they really don't know what Danzo's crime is. How great a crime must have been to force this strong man to commit suicide?

The heads of each family, including all the ninjas who participated in the battle between Xia Yu and Danzo that day, were also very curious. After all, such a long time had passed and the Hokage had not given a clear explanation of the matter.

Looks like explosive news is coming...

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused and continued:

"He has three crimes. The first is that two and a half years ago, Uchiha Shisui, a genius ninja of the Uchiha clan, was murdered by Danzo, who took his Sharingan and used it for himself."

"???"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a dead silence below.

However, before everyone could come to their senses, Sarutobi Hiruzen's next words directly destroyed everyone's perception of Danzo.

"The second crime: Danzo took the initiative to transplant the cells of our Konoha's first Hokage into himself."

"The third crime, and the most important one: Danzo was the real mastermind on the night of the Uchiha clan extermination a year and a half ago!"

"He coveted the power of the Uchiha Sharingan, brainwashed the young and ignorant Uchiha Itachi to kill all the tribe members, and then Danzo took the Sharingan from the corpse of the Uchiha tribe member and installed it on his own arm..."

"After all his crimes were exposed, Danzo could not bear the tremendous pressure, or perhaps he felt guilty about the upbringing of his ancestors in the village, so he committed suicide in a mental hospital early this morning..."

These words were like bombs, bombarding everyone's heart endlessly.

"Wait wait wait... Uchiha Shisui was killed by Danzo??"

"How could Danzo have the heart to do that? Shunshin Shisui made great contributions to our Konoha during the Third Ninja World War! As long as the ninjas from other countries heard his name, they would just run away!"

"Danzo, aren't you afraid that you'll chill our hearts by treating the village's hero like this?"

"How dare he transplant Hashirama-sama's cells? He is bringing discredit to our ancestors again!"

"It turns out the rumor about the Sharingan arm is true!"

"He committed so many crimes against the Uchiha! No wonder Xia Yu wanted to trouble him!"

"If I were Xia Yu, believe it or not, I could skin Danzo alive!"

The people of Konoha Village cursed.

Although the ninjas of a certain status were also very indignant, they did not express their emotions through words, but instead looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen on the stage.

They were a little confused.

Generally, such scandals within high-level positions are always dealt with internally, with big matters becoming small and small matters disappearing into nothing.

What’s more, it is such explosive news.

However, today, Hokage himself revealed it!

He had tried his best to cover it up before, but now he has revealed everything!

Nara Shikaku looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's calm appearance. Although he was also shocked by these "truths", he would never have thought that the Hokage would make them public.

"Hokage-sama...what's wrong with you? I don't understand what you've been doing lately..."

Nara Shikaku vaguely felt that the Hokage seemed to have become a different person.

"Haiyi, Dingzuo, I have a bad feeling. I'm afraid that Konoha will change soon..."

"Boom! Bang! Ding..."

The sky above the Uchiha clan was still ringing, echoing for a long time...

……

Chapter 53: Sarutobi Hiruzen's profound "Confession of Sins"

Looking at the cursing sounds coming from the audience, some heroes even started to insult Konoha's high-ranking officials with dirty words. Faced with these extreme behaviors, Sarutobi Hiruzen just smiled slightly and was not at all panicked.

The ANBU member next to him said worriedly: "Hokage, please say a few nice words to calm the people, otherwise I'm afraid the villagers will lose trust in the Konoha high-level officials."

"It's okay..." Sarutobi Hiruzen replied softly, "Let them vent their emotions. After all, the top management was at fault first, and this is the punishment they deserve."

"…Okay, I understand, Hokage-sama." The Anbu member had no choice but to retreat.

......

From the audience, ugly insults were heard non-stop, almost cursing Danzo's entire family and his dissatisfaction with the top management.

These harsh curses continuously reached Sarutobi Hiruzen's ears. In fact, he was very reluctant to listen, but at this moment he felt extremely relaxed.

Because the "Danzo" case has finally come to an end.

He managed to escape perfectly from all the guilt.

He really didn't know the cause of Uchiha Shisui's death.

He indeed had no idea about Hashirama's cells.

But he knew about the Uchiha clan's extermination.

But now, because Danzo is dead and there is no evidence, Sarutobi Hiruzen can naturally put the blame for the Uchiha clan's genocide on Danzo, while he himself can protect himself and still keep a good reputation.

The origin of this good reputation is the "Confession of Sins" he is about to perform...

Sarutobi Hiruzen on the stage waved his hands at the chaotic crowd, signaling for everyone to be quiet, and then said with a face full of guilt and self-blame:

"Danzo is my senior advisor. He committed so many crimes right under my nose, but I didn't notice it. Sigh... In fact, I am the one who is truly unforgivable..."

"If I had discovered Danzo's plot and actions earlier, perhaps Shisui wouldn't have died, Hashirama-sama's cells wouldn't have been contaminated, and the Uchiha clan wouldn't have been exterminated."

"When I heard your scolding just now, I felt like I had something stuck in my throat, like a thorn in my back, and I felt like I was sitting on pins and needles..."

"What you said is right, and what you scolded is also right.

"This is Danzo's fault, but it's even more my fault as the Hokage..."

"As the Third Hokage, I have gathered everyone here today to sincerely apologize to you and to ensure that this will never happen again!"

"As long as I am in power, I will never allow an evil official like Danzo to appear in Konoha's upper echelons again!"

"But the prerequisite is that I can still be the Hokage, alas..."

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

His son Asuma Sarutobi quickly asked, "Hokage-sama, what do you mean by that?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, tears of regret flowing from his cloudy eyes:

"As the head of a village, how can I still have the dignity to sit in the position of Hokage when the management is so poor? Today, I am going to take the initiative to give up my position as a punishment for this."

"this......!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.

Whether it was curses or voices of blame, they all disappeared.

Soon, everyone reacted and knelt on the ground, vying to persuade:

"Hokage-sama, you want to abdicate? This is impossible!"

"The village still needs you! No one else has your strength!"

"Yes, yes! That was all done by that old thief Danzo! What does it have to do with you, Hokage? You don't have to do this!"

"Hokage-sama, you are so kind. There is no other person in the village who is as kind and capable as you!"

"We were scolding Danzo just now, not targeting you, Hokage-sama. We hope you can quickly take back what you just said. We beg you!"

Listening to everyone's persuasion, Sarutobi Hiruzen cried uncontrollably. He lifted his sleeves to wipe away the tears that could not be stopped from flowing from the corners of his eyes:

"You...you really want me to still be the Hokage?"

"certainly!!!"

Everyone responded in unison, their voices resounding through the sky, comparable to the fireworks not far away.

"Well... well, since you still trust me, I will stay in this position for a few more days. Please believe me, incidents like this will never happen again from now on..."

"We believe you! Hokage-sama!"

"Well... thank you all for your trust." Sarutobi Hiruzen bowed deeply to everyone.

The ninjas in the audience were fine, but the villagers were so moved that they burst into tears after seeing the Hokage's actions.

"Our Hokage is so great! There is no other good person like you in the world. Konoha Village cannot live without you..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his body and announced his second decision:

"Because of Danzo, the Uchiha clan suffered such a huge blow. For this reason, I decided to give the Uchiha clan generous compensation..."

"Although no matter how much compensation is made, it cannot make up for the trauma suffered by the Uchiha clan, alas... this is my way of atonement for Danzo on behalf of the Konoha high-level officials."

"I will announce the specific compensation content tomorrow. I hope you can see with your sharp eyes that I and the senior management are repentant..."
