Chapter 47 We Need an Explanation

"I believe that Konoha Village will prosper under my leadership..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood on the high platform of the Hokage Building and talked to the villagers below, but his heart was not as calm as he appeared.

[The villager meeting is about to end, why hasn't that person made a move yet? Could it be that I am wrong? ]

Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but doubt himself, he suddenly sensed the southeast corner far away from the Hokage Building.

In order to facilitate the joint operation between the Anbu and the Root today, bursts of chakra were released one after another in the temporary base set up specially for the convenience of the joint operation between the Anbu and the Root today.

【coming! 】

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought,

Shimura Danzo must have brought the guy who dared to pretend to be him to the base.

Faced with the trap he had carefully laid out, the guy knew he couldn't escape.

Unwilling to give up, he fought against the ninjas from the Anbu and Root, intending to fight to the death...

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled confidently at the villagers below.

“Haha, villagers.

It seems that the guy who sneaked into the village and tried to frame me has been found.

Please wait a moment.

Wait for the Anbu to escort that guy to the venue,

I will go with you to witness the true face of the thief and see who he really is..."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

Villagers: (⊙o⊙)!!!

[Whose general is this? How dare he be so brave and dare to call the Hokage by his name?! ]

Many villagers had this idea, and they all turned their heads to look in the direction of the voice.

I saw a giant appear in the southeast at some point, and from the clothes on the giant, I could tell that he was a member of the Akimichi family.

"Yuichi?!"

The current head of the Akimichi clan, Akimichi Choza, shouted in surprise.

He recognized that the giant was one of the core members of their Akimichi clan, Akimichi Yuichi, who was taken away by the Anbu not long ago.

Judging from Akimichi Yuichi's current physical condition, he must have experienced a battle that was not easy.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

Akimichi Yuichi shouted out Sarutobi Hiruzen's name again, and at the same time he raised one of his big feet and stomped hard on the ground, picked up a piece of stone that had been shaken up, and threw it at Sarutobi Hiruzen with all his strength.

Although it was called a stone, its volume was larger than ten Sarutobi Hiruzen combined. With the support of Akimichi Yuichi's terrifying strength, it shot towards Sarutobi Hiruzen like a cannonball.

"Earth Escape*Earth Dragon Bomb!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned pale. He quickly formed a seal and summoned an earth dragon to catch the stone steadily, and then controlled the stone to slowly fall to an uninhabited place.

"Master Ding, your people attacked the village without any reason... I need a reasonable explanation for this."

Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head and looked at Akimichi Choza in the crowd, his eyes gloomy and vicious.

If the explanation given by Akimichi Choza cannot satisfy him... the Akimichi clan will become the history of Konoha, and the "Cho" in "Ino, Deer, and Cho" will never have a chance to rise.

"Everyone, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen convened a village meeting and asked the Anbu to select members of each family in Konoha and bring them here.

He wanted us to slander the patriarchs of our respective families and start a rebellion in the village!

We didn't want to be in cahoots with them, so they killed us, and we had no choice but to rise up in resistance!"

Just as Akimichi Yuichi was about to continue speaking, he was pushed and staggered by a huge force from behind.

"you shut up!

Wind Style*Vacuum Big Ball!"

Danzo quickly jumped out from behind Akimichi Yuichi, stood on Akimichi Yuichi's shoulder and shouted loudly in the direction of the Hokage.

“Fellow villagers, I am the Hokage’s assistant, Danzo Shimura.

You guys just listen to me first... cough!"

Snapped! ! !

Akimichi Yuichi slapped Danzo Shimura off his shoulder like he was slapping a fly.

"Right now, the Anbu controlled by Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Root controlled by Shimura Danzo are working together to strangle us!

Akimichi, Inuzuka, Nara, Yamanaka... all the tribesmen have died in the battle!

Please, clan leaders and villagers, please seek justice for us!!!"

After Akimichio shouted the last sentence with all his might, he turned around and threw himself into the battle with Shimura Danzo...

Villagers: Ah this...(???) !!!

The villagers all raised their heads and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was standing there in a daze.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: Σ(っ °Д °;)っ? ! !

Sarutobi Hiruzen never expected the plot to develop like this...

Hinata Hiashi, Akimichi Choza, Nara Shikaku... and other patriarchs of the Konoha ninja families looked at each other, then stood up and walked to the front of the crowd.

"Hokage-sama, we need an explanation!"

"Yes, if this explanation does not satisfy us... we have to think carefully about whether you are still qualified to sit in the position of Hokage..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was the Hokage, holding power firmly in his own hands, and secretly sent people to suppress the various families... They could tolerate all of this.

However, they coerced the clansmen of each family to slander these clan leaders for rebellion...

This has crossed the line. This is already uprooting the roots of their families!

……

Upon hearing that these clan leaders actually wanted to unite to remove him from the position of Hokage, the coldness in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes became even more intense.

But he never thought that before this, he had tried to use the same method to threaten Akimichi Dingzuo to give him an explanation.

Now this can only be said to be...

It’s retribution in this life, it just comes quickly.

"Don't worry, this should just be a misunderstanding... I will tell them all to stop right now."

After Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, he signaled a guard behind him to hurry over and convey his orders.

"Hmph~ No need."

Qiu Dao Ding Zuo snorted coldly.

By the time the guard arrived, they had no idea how many of their clansmen who were taken there had died at the hands of the Anbu and the Root...

Maybe the whole army was wiped out, and it is possible that the Anbu and Root dared to kill them all before the guards arrived.

"All the jonin of the Akimichi clan, follow me and perform the super multiplication technique. The goal is... to rescue Akimichi Yuichi and other trapped ninjas."

"Roar!"

The jonin of the Akimichi clan followed Akimichi Chojo out of the field. After a roar, they transformed into towering giants and rushed towards the southeast.

[Akimichi Dingzuo, it seems that your clan has not inherited my "Will of Fire"...]

Looking at the Akimichi clan who acted on their own without following the orders of him, the Hokage, although Sarutobi Hiruzen did not say anything, he had already sentenced the Akimichi clan to death in his heart.

……

The scene turns back to Naruto.

At this moment, Naruto had already escaped from the temporary base.

Now he has changed his appearance and slipped into the crowd below the Hokage Building during the chaos.

Now Naruto is waiting for Akimichi Choza and Shimura Danzo to bring both sides' troops here.

He quietly watched how Sarutobi Hiruzen would perform the scene that he had carefully prepared for him...
