Chapter 323 Dead End

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kadenen, and Koharu, who had gone to bed, did not speak. They looked at each other, and then they all smiled bitterly.

"Haha... do we still have a choice?" Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and said with a wry smile.

"How not?"

"What if you would rather lose yourselves, your family, and the lives of your tribe than to see me, an evil Uchiha, rise to power?"

"If this is the case, I can only help you and let you ask for mercy." Uchiha Xuan said with a half-smile.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other three were speechless upon hearing this. Are there any such stupid people in this world?

The older generation will die if they die, and the younger generation will have hope only if they live. If they all die, there will be no hope at all.

"You have been silent these past few years, are you just waiting for today?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice.

"That's right, I don't want to scheming or playing tricks with you anymore."

"In my opinion, the best strategy is to use force to suppress people and force to suppress people. Those who disobey will be physically destroyed."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed and he said, "Is it possible that you have been doing this both internally and externally since you came to power?"

"You are too radical and will push Konoha into the spotlight!"

"If you can still suppress the situation while you are still alive, once you die, Konoha will face an overwhelming counterattack and may very well be destroyed..."

Uchiha Gen glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Of course I won't play like this."

"Playing like this is to raise the easy difficulty to the difficult level yourself, unless there is really no choice."

"The so-called struggle is to unite the majority of people and attack a small group of people, whether it is internal or external."

Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Fortunately, the guy in front of him was not overwhelmed by the powerful power...

"I agree to make you the only candidate for the Fifth Hokage, and I also agree to your request to decide on your own time to take over."

"Three days later at nine o'clock in the morning, I will summon the entire Konoha Jonin meeting to make an announcement on the spot."

"But I will supervise you after you take over. If Konoha has the tendency to be led to destruction by you, I will kill you at all costs!"

After saying the cruel words, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and left.

Not in the mood to eat!

Mito Kaden and Koharu, who were sleeping in the dormitory, also stood up and left after hearing this, but after walking a few steps, they came back politely and said hello to Uchiha Gen.

There is no pretense of assisting the Hokage, and there is no arrogance, politeness, courtesy, and some respect and humility.

After the three of them left, Uchiha Gen murmured to himself: "I hope you will be honest and don't make any small moves, otherwise I will really go on a killing spree."

"There's only one chance."

Having said that, Uchiha Gen buried his head in cooking. A good table of food could not be wasted.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other three walked out of the Uchiha clan safely, the Konoha Anbu hiding in disguise also dispersed.

The three of them had no intention of filling their stomachs, and went directly to the Hokage's office. After careful inspection, the three of them started talking.

"Hiruzen, do you really plan to declare Gen Uchiha to be the sole candidate for the fifth generation?"

"Although there is no evidence, it's just intuition. I feel that Danzo's mysterious disappearance may be related to the deeply hidden Uchiha Gen..." Mito Kadoen said with a solemn expression.

Uchiha Gen: You guessed it right!

"Doesn't that further prove how terrifying Gen Uchiha is?"

"He really dares to do it!"

"This kind of unscrupulous and lawless behavior is much scarier than Fugaku."

"If you don't do what he wants, he will probably take action."

"Oh, it was better when Fugaku was the leader of the Uchiha clan. Why did he die suddenly?"

"Is the mysterious man harming Gen Uchiha, or helping him?"

When Xiaochun went to bed, his face was solemn at first, then regretful.

"Oh, what Koharu said makes sense. Gen Uchiha is not just a person who talks without practicing, he really dares to do it!"

"I don't want him to become Hokage at all, but what can I do?"

"The situation is stronger than the person!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was holding his pipe in his mouth, pressing his temples with his hands, sighing, and looking like he had a headache.

"His strength is indeed extremely terrifying, but are you, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Kushina, and Konoha's elite jounin really incapable of fighting?" Mito Kadoyan said with a look of reluctance.

"So what if you have the strength to fight?"

"If we cannot defeat Uchiha Gen, our family and tribe will definitely not survive."

"Even if you win the opponent by luck, can you keep him?"

"The opponent can fly, and he can also fly the thunder god's technique."

"If you let him run away, can't you imagine what consequences Konoha will face?"

"If you take ten thousand steps back, you can keep the other party and then kill the other party, but what will happen next?"

"After the war, Konoha was devastated and suffered heavy losses. Konoha's Kage-level combat power, core jounin, and ordinary ninjas still don't know how many can survive..."

"The Kazekage of Sand Hidden Village will definitely tear up the alliance and avenge her husband."

"Whenever Sunagakure moves, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure will all follow suit, even before Sunagakure."

"These ninja villages have been coveting the Fire Nation for a day or two, and they will never let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"When these big ninja villages move, how can those small ninja villages that look like hyenas remain indifferent?"

"The situation Konoha will face by then will be worse than the Third Ninja War, and the possibility of destroying the village is very high."

"If Konoha Village ceases to exist, what will happen to our families and tribesmen?"

"Yinjian of Uzumaki Village is not far away."

"Fighting Gen Uchiha, no matter what, it's a dead end."

"And Konoha must not be destroyed in my hands, never!"

Speaking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's usually amiable face suddenly turned ferocious and terrifying...

"For the sake of Konoha, for the sake of my family and tribe, we must swallow our anger and do what he wants."

"Don't make small moves. Once you make a choice, you must implement it resolutely. Duplicity is an extremely stupid decision."

"We may not be able to see the day when the clouds clear, but our descendants can still see it."

"Is it possible that Uchiha Gen can still live forever?"

"No matter how strong he is, he is still a mortal body, and he will die sooner or later..."

Mito Kadoyan and Koharu, who had gone to bed, looked at each other, and then they both sighed dejectedly: "Oh, this is the only way."

After a while, the two of them went to work listlessly and hungry.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was also hungry and had no appetite at all, so he forced himself to deal with government affairs.

Three days later, at 8:50 in the morning, all the Jounin of Konoha who had received the notice in advance rushed to the Hokage Building.

Except for the jounin who was on an important mission and could not make it back in time, no other jounin was absent.

These jounin include civilian jounin, family jounin, family patriarch, and high-level officials of Konoha, all of whom are the middle and upper-level of Konoha.

All the Jonin who entered the Hokage Building came to the large conference room and sat down. They followed the familiar ninjas around them in low voices to speculate and discuss. The large conference room was quite noisy.

Hinata Hizashi was also asking Uchiha Gen about the content of today's meeting. Uchiha Gen didn't answer directly, just smiled and said nothing.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and others did a very good job of keeping secrets. They didn't even tell their own family members, for fear that they would cause some trouble that they couldn't deal with before the matter was settled...

When the time comes, you won’t be able to harm others, but you will harm your own people.

At 8:59, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kadeni, and Koharu, who had moved to the dormitory, walked out expressionlessly from behind the stage, and the conference room quickly became quiet.

After being greeted and seated, Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Gen Uchiha with complicated eyes, and then spoke...
