Uzumaki Mito waited for a response for five minutes, and finally sighed deeply and said, "In the current situation, I want to kill you. Can you give any reason to object?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent and shook his head.

He couldn't answer Uzumaki Mito's questions, and naturally couldn't give any reasons to object to Uzumaki Mito's idea of ​​killing him.

In the past, Sarutobi Hiruzen was the Hokage and Uzumaki Mito was the Jinchuriki.

He is the overall interest of Konoha Village. For the sake of Konoha Village, Uzumaki Mito can only remain silent and swallow all the doubts and bitterness into his own stomach, and cannot even tell Uzumaki Kushina.

Now, Uzumaki Mito has already died once, is there anything else she needs to care about?

Even when facing Uzumaki Mito, Senju Hashirama could only say sorry and thank you for your hard work in shame, and he didn't dare to say anything like how he should spare the monkey for the sake of Konoha Village.

After Uzumaki Mito retreated, Uchiha You kicked Uchiha Fugaku away and stood in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But when he thought about it, he suddenly realized that the cruelest thing Sarutobi Hiruzen had done to the Uchiha clan had not happened yet.

Whether it was the matter of Uchiha Kagami or the matter of so many pairs of Sharingans, it was obviously done by Danzo Shimura, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's responsibility was at most poor supervision.

The Second Hokage has already said this, so there's no point in saying it again.

Uchiha You actually laughed. After all, he had prevented many tragedies.

Hinata Hizashi, Uchiha Shisui, and many other unlucky people who don’t even know about it, you all have to thank me.

He looked at Hatake Sakumo and said, "Well, Hatake-senpai, I don't think I have anything to say. It's your turn."

Hatake Sakumo is a very humble and polite person. He has been waiting quietly by the side for such a long time.

After hearing Uchiha You's words, he nodded gratefully and walked in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The honest middle-aged man asked, "Why are you targeting me?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said dryly: "I didn't expect you to die..."

Hatake Sakumo's fighting style is always to the point, and the same goes for his speaking.

He strengthened his tone again and asked, "Why?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen swallowed and moistened his throat before answering, "Like they said, your reputation is too high, too many people want you to be the Hokage, I...I have no choice."

Hatake Sakumo was almost choked with anger, and he couldn't help but raise his voice a lot. He questioned: "Third generation, you know me well."

"You should know that I have no intention of becoming a Hokage. I just want to be an excellent Konoha ninja and protect the Konoha Village well!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head, looked at the furious man, and replied: "Sakumo, when I stood up in front of the teacher, I didn't think about becoming a Hokage..."

"Just like there can't be two suns in the sky, there can't be two cores in Konoha Village."

Hatake Sakumo: "..."

"Then why did you resort to such despicable means to suppress Hatake-senpai?"

Uchiha You asked, "Issuing a false mission, personally creating a moral trap that would be wrong no matter what you do, and then framing him, this is too crude."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice seemed so unconfident. He tried hard to explain: "Sakumo is a flawless Konoha ninja. Danzo and I have tried many ways, but none of them worked. We can only use this method."

"I have no choice..."

Uchiha You shook his head repeatedly: "You are the Hokage, you have no idea what to do left and right, and the last solution you can come up with is to destroy the best Konoha ninja."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, you are a spy sent by another ninja village, right?"

Uchiha You couldn't say any more. Thinking of the kidnapping of Uzumaki Kushina and the kidnapping of Hinata which had not happened yet, he didn't want to say anything except sneering.

When the situation in Konoha Village was good, he wanted to suppress the outstanding ninjas of Konoha Village. When the situation in Konoha Village was bad, he wanted to sacrifice the ninjas of Konoha Village in exchange for peace.

It was obvious that the dire situation in Konoha Village was the inevitable consequence of him suppressing the outstanding ninjas in Konoha Village for his own power, but not only did he not take any responsibility, but he further pushed other innocent ninjas to death.

Under his leadership, the ninjas of Konoha Village were in a terrible state.

The best ninjas who win on the battlefield through unremitting efforts and become heroes of Konoha Village will be targeted by the Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura, and forced to go into exile or commit suicide.

The ordinary ninja performed his duties conscientiously and successfully prevented the enemy's conspiracy, but was forced to commit suicide by the Third Hokage just to appease the enemy.

No wonder all the smart people in the Nara family are so lazy.

Uchiha You felt that Sarutobi Hiruzen's actions and the starting point of his thinking made him feel damn familiar.

It was sickeningly familiar.

The more he thought about it, the more Uchiha Yu felt that Sarutobi Hiruzen deserved to die.

Moreover, among the people present, Uchiha Yu was not the only one who wanted Sarutobi Hiruzen to die.

Senju Hashirama hugged Uzumaki Mito and urged him in a light tone: "Tobirama, it's been long enough, make up your mind."

Hearing what Hashirama Senju said, Tobirama Senju was suddenly startled.

Hashirama Senju is a person who attaches great importance to family, friends and feelings. He is a little careless, a little naive, full of idealism, always believes in the kindness of human hearts, and wholeheartedly hopes for peace.

Senju Tobirama is a cold-tempered person who values ​​logic and purposefulness of behavior, rules and order. He has a relatively dark mind and believes that human nature is evil. He is always on guard against everyone.

But among the Senju brothers, the always smiling Senju Hashirama is the truly cruel and ruthless guy.

Because Hashirama Senju is a true idealist. For his ideals, he can sacrifice his life without hesitation, and he can also let others sacrifice their lives without hesitation.

During the establishment of Konoha Village, the number of people who died at the hands of Senju Hashirama was no less than that of Uchiha Madara.

Because Wood Release is the strongest field-clearing ninjutsu, Hashirama Senju should have killed the most people.

He will kill without hesitation anyone who dares to stand in the way of his ideals.

Even Uchiha Madara was killed by him once.

It was just a monkey, so of course he would crush it to death without hesitation.

On the contrary, it was Tobirama Senju who said so many harsh words and attacked Danzo without mercy, but he was not actually prepared to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Faced with Uchiha Yu's uncompromising and firm demand to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Although he knew it was difficult to resist the trend, he still subconsciously delayed time, hoping for a turnaround.

Perhaps more people will think that Sarutobi Hiruzen can survive and form a check and balance on Uchiha Yuu, causing him to change his mind.

Even if it's just to save the monkey's life, it would be good.

Unfortunately, a turning point did occur.

But it was Hashirama Senju who changed his mind and he also wanted to kill the monkey.

The first Hokage was the only one whose strength was on the same level as Uchiha Yu. Once the two of them had the same idea, there was no room for redemption.

Senju Tobirama was not a pretentious person. When he saw the last glimmer of hope disappear, a kunai from Tsunade accurately pierced into Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart.

As a teacher, Tobirama Senju gave Sarutobi Hiruzen the final care to end his pain in the shortest time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is dead.

His death was not painful, but it was also silent.

…

In any world, the bigger the fist, the greater the truth.

In the ninja world, having a big fist not only shows that there are enough ninjas, but also that the ninjas are strong.

The strength of a ninja is relative.

In fact, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen in the 45th year of Konoha was not weak, and he could firmly occupy the top two positions among the Five Kage.

But no matter how strong Sarutobi Hiruzen is, he cannot match Uchiha Yu's even more exaggerated strength.

When this guy had the strength to clear the Konoha Village dungeon alone, Sarutobi Hiruzen's policy of hostility and exclusion of the Uchiha clan came to a dead end.

He was not the strongest in Konoha Village, but he was stubbornly hostile to the strongest ninja. Sarutobi Hiruzen was unwilling to abdicate rationally, so his death was inevitable.

But the death of the Hokage in internal strife would cause great harm to Konoha Village, and it might even lead to the collapse of the morale of Konoha Village and its disintegration.

Originally in history, Orochimaru used his identity as a rebel ninja to complete this last step.

Then he could use the trick of "resurrection from the dead" to clear his identity and return to the ranks of Konoha ninja.

This process was so smooth that it would have been impossible without the tacit approval or even active promotion of the vast majority of ninjas.

But now, Uchiha You doesn't want to be labeled a traitor, he still wants to live comfortably in Konoha Village.

As the overall situation of Konoha Village today, his ideas must of course be respected.

After awakening the dead First Hokage and Second Hokage to discuss the matter, the two former Hokage endorsed Uchiha Yu's decision, and the Second Hokage personally took action to execute the Third Hokage, which was the best solution to Konoha Village's predicament.

What does it mean to put the overall situation first? This is what it means to put the overall situation first!

As long as Uchiha You is the overall situation, no matter how difficult his ideas are, everyone has to revolve around him and find ways to solve them.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's body gradually cooled down, and Mito Kado En was controlled by the ninjas of the Snake Unit.

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, announced that the Root was an illegal department and would be disbanded immediately.

Although there was another woman named Utane Koharu in the village, she was powerless to change the situation, and didn't even have the ability to cause any waves.

The era of the Third Hokage of Konoha Village has ended.

Uchiha You picked up the Hokage's hat from the ground, dusted it off, removed the dead branches and leaves, and then handed it to Orochimaru.

"Congratulations."

Orochimaru took it naturally and said with a smile: "Haha, what's there to congratulate?"

Uchiha Yuu: "Oh? You don't like being Hokage?"

"You know me, Yu-kun. Why would I like being a Hokage?"

"It's tiring, hard, and annoying. Except for those few years when I was a kid, I never thought about becoming a Hokage."

Orochimaru sighed, put the Hokage hat on his head, and looked gloomily at Nawaki who was chattering with Tsunade.

"I am just helping my students realize their dreams."

When Uchiha You heard what Orochimaru said, he was deeply moved. Orochimaru is really an excellent and responsible teacher.

Jiraiya is also an excellent teacher, but he is too irresponsible. He just runs away after teaching and doesn't care about anything afterwards.

If he had been half as responsible as Orochimaru, Akatsuki would have eventually become an important wing of Konoha Village, Namikaze Minato would not have committed suicide for love, and Uzumaki Naruto would not have had a miserable childhood.

So Uchiha You made the final decision. He said, "Even though you don't like being a Hokage, as a reward for helping you clear the way to becoming a Hokage, you still have to accept a disciple I recommend."

Orochimaru nodded and agreed: "Uchiha Kagami's grandson Uchiha Shisui, right? I promise you."

Uchiha You smiled with satisfaction: "He is a good child, but a little naive. Please take care of him."

Orochimaru smiled and said, "I will teach him well, but I can't guarantee that he can become the fifth generation."

"I understand, and I won't force you to do that." Uchiha You said, "All I want is a hope."

"With hope as the carrot, the difficulty of defeating the Uchiha clan can be reduced by more than half, which is much easier than me relying on brute force to crush them."

…

Uchiha You picked up the Hokage's hat and gave it to Orochimaru, and Orochimaru put on the hat himself. These two actions immediately became the focus of the whole audience.

This action has great symbolic significance.

The strongest violence in Konoha Village handed over the highest power of Konoha Village to the wisest leader of Konoha Village.

Perfect!

Especially the ninjas from the Snake Unit, their eyes were almost glowing.

As an army formed by Orochimaru himself, they are naturally Orochimaru's absolute confidants. They will return to Konoha Village from the Land of Hot Springs without hesitation at Orochimaru's command.

The relationship between them and Orochimaru is one of shared success and shared failure.

If Orochimaru had not become the Fourth Hokage, as Orochimaru's confidants, the fate of them and the Snake Force would have become unpredictable.

But if Orochimaru becomes the Fourth Hokage, the Snake Force will surely have the opportunity to flourish, and they will gain huge benefits.

…

The ninjas of the Tiger Unit were also delighted when they saw this scene.

Uchiha You had told them long ago that due to the previous reasons, the Uchiha clan had no hope in the spirit of the Fourth Hokage, and the Fifth and Sixth Hokage were the Uchiha clan's goals.

He would help in the competition for the Fourth Hokage in exchange for an Uchiha child becoming his disciple.

The Fourth Hokage's bamboo hat was inherited from the ninjas of the Uchiha clan, so there cannot be no Uchiha among the Hokage's disciples.

In the minds of the Uchiha clan's ninjas, Hokage is actually just an obsession.

As long as there is hope, it is enough for the Uchiha people who are proud in their bones.

…

When Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju saw this scene, they almost breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. As long as nothing unexpected happened, Konoha Village would be able to be stable for at least 20 years in the future.

"Brother, do you think that in 20 years, Orochimaru will become a power-hungry, cowardly bastard like his teacher?"

"Tobirama, let the things that happen 20 years later be solved by the Konoha ninjas 20 years later."

"There can't be a monster like Uchiha Yuu appearing in Konoha Village 20 years from now, right?"

“That’s hard to say.”

"well--"

…

Jiraiya's expression was solemn, yet filled with endless loss.

This time his position was particularly awkward. He came here following his teacher's orders and the prediction of the Great Toad Immortal and participated in an extremely difficult battle.

In the end, the successive Hokage came back to life, announced that their teacher had committed a crime, and the Second Hokage executed the Third Hokage.

Uchiha Yuu, whom he fought, became the hero of Konoha Village, his classmate Orochimaru became the designated Fourth Hokage, and Tsunade had the happy moment of family reunion.

But what did Jiraiya get?

Jiraiya was exhausted, received tragic information about his three disciples, received information about Konoha Village's disastrous defeat in the Rain Country, and even began to doubt the prophecy.

Because it was prophesied that what he did was for the entire ninja world, which must include making Konoha Village better.

Jiraiya works hard under the guidance of such prophecies, and his self-positioning is unified.

But now something is wrong.

It turns out that the goal of the Great Toad Sage's prophecy was to try to save Konoha Village and prevent the Third Hokage, who had already caused many tragedies, from continuing to create more tragedies.

This made Zilai confused.

Uchiha You is doing good things now, will he become a bad person in the future?

Or, in the eyes of the Great Toad Sage, the future Konoha Village will be a force that brings disaster to the ninja world?

Jiraiya was caught in an extreme contradiction, his mind was completely confused.

…

As for Tsunade, she was happy to see Uchiha Yu and Orochimaru being close.

After meeting Kato Dan and Nawaki, and after seeing her teacher die, especially since the kunai that caused his death came from her.

Tsunade's thoughts have become clear. Her resistance to Konoha Village no longer exists, and she wants to go back and live there.

The Hokage of Konoha Village is his classmate. He has the support of the strongest fighting force in the village. The political structure of the village is extremely stable and he doesn't have to worry about anything.

Tsunade is not short of money and does not need to be forced to carry out missions by life. She can gamble when she wants to, drink when she wants to, and sleep in when she wants to.

Half of the village is her property, the entire medical system is her disciples, and everyone in the village respects her when they see her.

If you are really bored, you can take on a mission or go to the hospital to play with the medical ninjas.

This kind of life is the most comfortable.

Kato Dan and Nawaki looked at Orochimaru with envy and said at the same time: "Orochimaru-senpai (teacher) is going to be the Hokage, that's great."

Then the two men looked at each other, and suddenly smiled at each other. The conflict between the younger brother and the brother-in-law was completely resolved.

Seeing this scene, Tsunade's heart softened, but tears flowed uncontrollably.

It was such a wonderful time, but it was so short.

But no matter what, the Third Hokage is no longer in existence, and next comes the era of the Fourth Hokage Orochimaru.

The future is full of hope.
