The Nara clan are all intelligent people!

They must have had thorough discussions before making that decision!

It's unlikely that this was a decision made casually!

[Ye Cang: We've had thorough discussions?]

Haha! That's really laughable.

Human life is alive, but medicine is dead!

Isn't it obvious which of the two is more important?

Why bother with those unnecessary negotiations?

[Loquat Juzo: That's why I said you're thinking too simply!]

Think about it carefully. Given the circumstances at the time, if the Nara clan had donated all of their family's medicinal herbs to the ninja village...

Therefore, the Nara clan, who make a living by trading medicinal herbs, will inevitably fall into an economic crisis!

And once a family falls into an economic crisis!

What awaits them is likely the decline or even annihilation of their entire tribe!

But if we don't contribute the medicinal herbs!

Therefore, the greatest loss for the Nara clan was only the lives of a few clan members.

If I had to do a risk assessment between these two, I would choose the latter!

At least compared to the fate of the entire tribe!

Even sacrificing a few members of the tribe would be worthwhile!

[Yakura: ...]

Upon hearing what Juzo Biwa said, Yokura was completely stunned.

She really wanted to refute the other party's unreasonable reasoning!

But when the words reached my lips, I suddenly couldn't say them!

Because he suddenly felt that what Juzo Biwa said seemed to make a lot of sense!

Compared to the fate of the entire family.

Sacrificing a few members of the tribe doesn't seem like such a bad thing!

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi also spoke.

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: That Juzo Biwa is right. Sacrificing the individual for the greater good is something that must be chosen in some political situations!]

The Nara clan has always been the strategist family of my Konoha Village!

Their understanding of politics is also extremely thorough!

It's not impossible that they could come up with this method of sacrificing the individual for the greater good to appease us old folks!

[Yakura: Oh? Judging from the Third Hokage's tone, you seem quite adept at this so-called 'sacrifice' method?]

Hiruzen Sarutobi: That's right, to be honest, I used to use this method of 'sacrifice' quite often back in the day to protect Konoha!

However... those I sacrificed back then were all ninjas from Konoha Village, not members of my Sarutobi clan!

The most representative victim among them was Captain Sakumo of the Hatake clan!

[Sakumo Hatake: ???]

[Yakura: Third Hokage, you're truly cunning. This kind of 'sacrifice' of yours should be entirely beneficial to your Sarutobi clan, right?]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Absolutely, otherwise what would be the point of me being Hokage?]

Chapter 471 Uchiha Shisui: Who is Ma Chao? (Begging for full subscription)

[Tobirama Senju: You traitor, how dare you say such things!]

When Tobirama Senju saw Hiruzen Sarutobi talking about the foolish things he did back then with such pride, he was furious!

They will stop at nothing to persecute the ninjas of their own village!

How dare they say that?

Hiruzen Sarutobi: Tobirama-sensei, don't get angry!

I... uh, I mean, all I did back then was for the good of the village!

There was no intention to harm Captain Sakumo!

[Tobirama Senju: For the sake of the village? Sakumo is the Captain-Commander of the Anbu in Konoha. Judging from his previous self-descriptions, his strength should be no less than mine!]

You killed him using insidious and despicable means, depriving Konoha of a Kage-level ninja who could intimidate other ninja villages!

Is this what you call doing it for the good of the village?

Tobirama Senju grew angrier the more he spoke.

What Hiruzen Sarutobi just said was clearly just sophistry!

Other ninja villages treat Kage-level ninjas like treasures.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi did the opposite!

It's one thing if they don't treat Sakumo Hatake, whose strength far surpasses that of an ordinary Kage, like a treasure.

They even wanted to exhaust all means and methods to kill him.

This caused a significant drop in the overall fighting strength of Konoha Village!

This can be called 'for the good of the village'?

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Tobirama-sensei, you may not know this, but Sakumo's reputation in Konoha was extremely high back then!]

If we don't suppress him!

If this continues, it will definitely affect the management of our Konoha village!

[Shimura Danzo: Sarutobi is right. Sakumo's management of our Konoha's leadership back then did have an impact!]

Some villagers even privately regarded him as the next Hokage!

It gives us the feeling that if the next Hokage isn't Sakumo, the villagers will rebel!

This is not an exaggeration; it was simply the reality at the time!

Seeing that Tobirama Senju suddenly brought up the cause of Sakumo Hatake's death.

Danzo Shimura, who had participated in the matter back then, finally couldn't help but step forward.

He really wanted to see Hiruzen Sarutobi make a fool of himself.

But this matter also concerns his own reputation.

Therefore, he had no choice but to step forward!

Faced with two veteran actors delivering a powerful performance simultaneously, Sakumo Hatake found himself struggling to keep up!

In terms of acting skills, he is definitely no match for these two veteran actors who are award-winning!

So, he could only reply silently.

[Sakumo Hatake: Tobirama-sama, I didn't know why those villagers suddenly supported me back then!]

However, judging from what happened later, I think those villagers were instigated by the Third Hokage and others, which is why they did what they did!

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Sakumo, stop talking nonsense. When did I incite the villagers to support you?]

If I truly wanted to support someone, I would choose to support Danzo rather than someone like you who has absolutely no connection to me!

[Shimura Danzo: Sarutobi, while I find your words quite pleasing, something feels a little off...]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Danzo, stop nitpicking. Now is not the time for us to criticize each other. We should unite and fight together against the common enemy!]

[Shimura Danzo: Hmm, you're right, Sakumo, what makes you think that the villagers who jumped out to support you were instigated by us old guys?]

Everything needs evidence. Do you have any evidence?

[Sakumo Hatake: I have no evidence!]

[Shimura Danzo: No evidence? Then what are you talking about?]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Exactly! Why were you so confident when you had no evidence? You made me worry for nothing!]

[Shimura Danzo: Sarutobi, watch your mouth! We didn't do anything! What are you worrying about?]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Cough cough~ It's been a long time since I've acted, and now that I'm suddenly back to acting, it feels a little strange...]

[Shimura Danzo:...]

[Tobirama Senju: ???]

[Uchiha Izuna: My goodness! These two, going back and forth, have actually spilled all their guilty consciences! They're really something else!]

[Uchiha Fugaku: Looks like even the best actor has his off days!]

[Uchiha Shisui: Danzo, you old thief, traitor, dog, prepare to die...]

[Uchiha Fugaku: Shisui, you've already said those things before. You're more of a show-off than Ma Chao. You should just shut up!]

[Uchiha Shisui: Clan leader, who is Ma Chao?]

【Uchiha Fugaku: A character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of the Five Generals of Shu. His cursing tone and vocabulary are similar to the cursing you use on Danzo!】

What? You haven't read that book?

[Uchiha Shisui: No, but I've read *Dream of the Red Chamber*. The relationship between Ah Bin and Bai Jie in the book is very complicated and tragic, with many indescribable scenes that are captivating!]

[Uchiha Fugaku: Is that so? Then let's talk sometime!]

[Uchiha Shisui: Sorry, the book isn't with me. I borrowed it from Kakashi-senpai!]

[Uchiha Fugaku: Damn! It's that old pervert Kakashi again?]

[Sakumo Hatake: ...]

Chapter 472 The Great Tonic: Deer Penis! (Begging for full subscription)

"These are the medicinal herbs accumulated by our Nara clan over generations. This is only a part of them; only the clan heads of each generation have the authority to know about the rest, and I don't know where they are stored at the moment!"

Just as those dead ninjas in the live stream were arguing about whether the Nara clan had ever harbored ambitions in the past.

Nara Shikamaru, who was outside, spoke again and said something that shocked everyone!

Tobirama Senju: Holy crap, the Nara clan is toxic!

The medicinal herbs in this warehouse are only a portion of the total?

When did their family become so wealthy?

[Uchiha Izuna: It seems these clans that stayed hidden away during the Warring States period were all incredibly wealthy!]

Kondo Mune: Actually, I should have thought of this earlier. During the Warring States period, everyone was fighting and vying for resources, and we don't know how much they consumed.

Meanwhile, clans like the Nara clan, which are unassuming and do not contend with the world, quietly develop and secretly grow!

We are consuming, they are developing!

With this balance of power, the Nara clan was able to accumulate a large amount of resources!

That's a perfectly normal thing!

[Hozuki Gengetsu: Bandaged old ghost is right. If we had known that playing it safe and developing our strength would be so comfortable, our Hozuki clan would have also gone into hiding in the mountains during the Great War of the Myriad Races, and never bothered with worldly affairs again!]

[Yagura Karatachi: But Second Hokage, the reputation of your Hozuki clan was also earned during the Great War of All Races!]

If I hadn't participated in that great war of all races!

Your Hozuki clan can't possibly be on equal footing with the Hyuga and Uzumaki clans!

[Hozuki Gengetsu: So what if we can stand on equal footing with the Hyuga and Uzumaki clans? In the end, we still have to bow down to the Uchiha and Senju clans.]
