Chapter 789 Time of Reckoning

"The Great Elder Toad approves of Naruto, so naturally I have nothing to say."

Jiraiya smiled bitterly and said: "Sarutobi-sensei, Advisor Shimura, Kakashi, no matter what Naruto's plan is, I will choose to form an alliance with the Youth Team."

Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head with a bitter look on his face.

Naruto's words stung his heart like a knife. Looking back on his experience as Hokage, Naruto's accusations were heartbreaking, but they were true!

For Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen has done too many helpless things. When the old man returns from his sleep at night, he can still see the ghosts of grievances surrounding him, crying out about the injustice of fate and asking why Sarutobi Hiruzen sacrificed innocent people.

What's wrong with the women and children of the Uchiha clan?

Take Uchiha Izumi, who was Uchiha Itachi's childhood sweetheart, for example. She was a beautiful and innocent little girl who only had a faint love for Itachi in her heart. Her lifelong wish was just to stay with Uchiha Itachi, but she was also on the verge of destroying her family. The night was brutally slaughtered.

Uchiha Itachi couldn't bring himself to kill his parents, so he asked the masked man to kill her on his behalf. He couldn't bear it at the last moment, so he held Uchiha Izumi and let her die in the arms of her lover, which was considered as comfort.

The once prosperous Senju clan died with only Tsunade left. This is actually very unreasonable. Although it is unreasonable for children to go to the battlefield in the Naruto world, it is also the fact that the Ninja Village has no choice but why do women also die? Empty?

Forcing orphans to go to the battlefield is cold-blooded and ruthless enough, but also forcing widowed mothers to go to the battlefield, this even destroys the bottom line of being a human being. It is obvious that there is no way for the Thousand Hands clan to survive!

All the crimes that distort human nature are covered up with "for the village". He seems to be a good old man with all-around skills and is praised by most people in the village. Who will the few innocent people who were sacrificed complain to?

Souls exist in the world of Naruto. When Naruto returned to his dreams at midnight, he had seen souls more than once. In the original plot, the souls of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Hayate Gekko both came to Naruto, scaring him to the point of peeing.

How could he be willing to accept the countless innocent souls who died because of Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision? How could he not come to Sarutobi Hiruzen at midnight and ask the Hokage if his conscience hurt when he sacrificed them?

Sarutobi Hiruzen also suspected that he had done something wrong, but he didn't know where he was wrong. This is the limitation of history. After all, he has studied ninjutsu all his life, his formal academic qualifications are too low, and he has not left Konoha to patrol the world. Having neither knowledge nor insight, he spent his whole life as a village sage in Konoha, doing things based on experience.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was an excellent old village chief and a so-called "village sage" cultural representative, but he was abandoned by the progress of the times.

In the new era, the more the rural sages hold on to feudal ideas, the more backward and reactionary they become. They only know how to maintain the feudal order and take the moral standards of the feudal era as the criterion. However, in the eyes of people in the new era, feudal ethics are barbaric and barbaric. Cruel and even downright stupid.

In the feudal era, the rural sages were advanced. However, once the times progressed, if they did not change their ideas, they would become representatives of backwardness, natural enemies of new fashions, and obstacles to productivity, and must be crushed by the wheels of history.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent, but Shimura Danzo refused to give up. He looked ferocious and gritted his teeth and said: "Crazy, crazy! The Hokage does not consider the village, and acts as the Hokage! What about the world, what moral ethics, this Does it have anything to do with the prosperity of Konoha? As long as Konoha is prosperous, it doesn't matter if everyone else dies! Jiraiya, you are no longer qualified to be Hokage, I... I should be Hokage, only me, only I am dedicated and sacrificed for Konoha!"

"It seems that Consultant Shimura hasn't figured out the situation yet. What you call sacrifice is just forcing others to sacrifice. How have you ever sacrificed yourself?"

Naruto looked at him coldly and said: "Now it is indeed your turn to sacrifice for Konoha, because one of the conditions for the alliance between the Junior Team and Konoha is that you must conduct an in-depth investigation to find out all the crimes you have committed over the years. What sins have you committed? Let us judge and liquidate them one by one! The youth team will never give up until your problem is found out! You who keep saying that you are willing to sacrifice for Konoha should not be willing to resist and let Konoha bury you with you, right?"

The agents of the Kingdom of Dragons provided intelligence to Naruto Sasuke. The intelligence showed that Danzo played a disgraceful role in several incidents in Konoha. However, the intelligence was also unclear. If you want to find out the details of Danzo's evil deeds, you must personally interrogated him and pried it out of his mouth.

Shimura Danzo's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "You... why are you investigating me and judging me?"

"Why not?"

Naruto lowered his face and said: "Sarutobi Hiruzen was afraid that infighting would weaken Konoha's strength so he tolerated you. How many Kage-level ninjas does Konoha have now? After forming an alliance with the youth team, they are even more powerful. You are one more person." More or less, the bunch of useless losers under your command may not be able to defeat my genin armed with scientific ninja tools. Is it necessary to keep you group of scourges who are not successful enough but are more likely to fail?"

Turning to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Naruto said coldly: "I can understand that leaders need one or two 'black hands who do bad things' to deal with difficult problems, but mature politicians will kill the donkey at the right time and use the black hands as scapegoats. It was launched to quell public outrage and then fostered new gangsters, but why did Shimura Danzo survive so long? Is it because he was lucky or is it because our Hokage of Konoha Village is politically immature? Are we used to being good guys? Treat cruel political struggles as a family Has the dispute been settled? Not only do I want to put Shimura Danzo on trial, I also want to hold you accountable and hold you accountable for your leadership responsibility for allowing Danzo to do evil during his tenure as Hokage!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head, and there was almost no room for his old face. This was due to the flaw in his character of being indecisive and womanly. His mentality was not right when he let Orochimaru go. It was obviously the paternalism of the feudal family and he tolerated Shimura. Danzo was extremely politically immature, and he tolerated and supported traitors but suffered the consequences.

In the original plot, he did die in the end due to the conspiracy of these two people.

He also felt aggrieved. He felt that his starting point was obviously for the villagers, without any selfish motives. He worked hard for Konoha without any credit but hard work. Why did he end up like this? He might as well have been killed by Orochimaru two years ago. You can also save the evening festival.

As for resistance, Sarutobi Hiruzen is too old. Like many retired leaders, after stepping down as Hokage, his tight strings were broken, his mental state and body deteriorated, his chakra volume decreased significantly, and his strength It has dropped by more than one level from two years ago. It has neither the strength nor the spirit to resist.

Sasuke stood up and said coldly: "Duanzo, I want to know what role you played on the night when Uchiha Itachi massacred the Uchiha clan! Naruto promised me to help me find out this secret. If you If you refuse to give me an explanation, let all the villagers of Konoha Village pay the price for this!"

"Danzo, it's time to settle the accounts of Medicine Master Nonou. I don't understand why the orphans in our orphanage have become insignificant victims for the sake of the village?"

Yakushi Kabuto also stood up and said bitterly: "We orphans are born as human beings without the protection of our parents. It is already pitiful. Why should we be treated as sacrifices and die in vain if we only eat two mouths of Konoha? Don't our parents care about Konoha?" Didn't he die fighting for Konoha? Aren't we afraid that the ninjas who go to the battlefield will be disappointed if the orphans are not properly taken care of? Dean Noonoyu and I can be considered as dedicated to Konoha and have done our duty as spies. But you want to be silenced because you know too much. You know more, why don’t you silence yourself?”

Danzo Shimura was stunned, his face was ashen, he took a few steps back and said in a panic: "You can't kill me, you can't kill me, I haven't become Hokage yet! I can't die! Everything I do is for Konoha. For Konoha! Why can't you understand my painstaking efforts?"

"So, please surrender obediently for Konoha."

Naruto sneered and said: "The threat of war from the Junior Team is very clear. If you don't surrender to Konoha, I will be buried with you. This is to treat others with their own way. Let you practice it." Konoha’s feat of sacrifice is complete!”
