Chapter 177: Suppressing the Ninja Clan, the Thousand Hands Destroyed!

"So this is the truth behind Hatake Sakumo's suicide?"

"I didn't expect the Third Hokage to be such a beast in human form!"

"Come to think of it, what happened to Lord Sakumo at that time seemed really strange... The villagers seemed to have no idea that he was surrounded at the door of his house and thrown rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves inside."

"I wonder how a strong man like Hatake Sakumo could suddenly commit suicide. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to bear it."

"You may not know that when the news of Hatake Sakumo's death came out, almost all the ninjas from our hostile village celebrated happily for a day."

"Damn Sarutobi Hiruzen, are you doing this to the village and to us?!"

Listening to the indignant shouts of the people around them, Nohara Rin, Yuhi Kurenai, and Might Guy couldn't help but look at Hatake Kakashi on the side.

Hatake Kakashi clenched his fists tightly and lowered his head.

The memory that had never seen the light of day reappeared in his mind.

He was still young at the time, and was also influenced by the outside world and had a big fight with his father.

He even once warned himself that his father's death was just to atone for his sins.

But now...

So it turns out that all this is just a conspiracy?

Just because his father's authority threatened the rule of the Hokage, the other party pushed his father into hell!

Damn Sarutobi Hiruzen!

"Humph! Sarutobi Hiruzen is really disgusting. He is simply embarrassing all of us 'kages'!"

"That's right, if you feel threatened, you should try to do better. Playing conspiracies and tricks is really shameful."

"No wonder all kinds of things always happen to those strong people who grew up in Konoha. They either leave the village or become rebels. It turns out that Sarutobi Hiruzen is behind it."

"Disgusting!"

Onoki and Ai were all very disdainful of what Sarutobi Hiruzen did.

As a "kage", you must have the capacity of a "kage".

If you don't even have the capacity to tolerate others, it would be strange if the village can get better.

But they couldn't help but feel a little jealous at the same time.

Konoha was able to win the Ninja World War under the rule of such a guy. This foundation is really enviable!

Watching things gradually develop as he expected, Uchiha Mirai's mouth drew a smile.

He arranged so much just for this moment.

Although with his strength, he could have directly pushed Konoha F4, but doing so would be a bit too uncomfortable.

Why should the Uchiha clan, as the founder of Konoha, bear the name of a coup?

The Uchiha should take over the power of the village in an upright manner!

And after Sarutobi Hiruzen died, it would be meaningless even if his affairs were made public.

Killing is easy, but destroying the heart is not easy.

He wants Sarutobi Hiruzen, who has always cherished his reputation, to experience the taste of being ruined while he is alive!

————

"Sakumo is like this, and so are Jiraiya and Tsunade who left the village."

"Teacher, if you can be more tolerant of strong people like Sakumo, then Konoha will not fall to the point where you can only conduct human experiments to resist the enemy's attack, right?"

"Persecuting the strong in the village is the second crime!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the sneering Orochimaru as if he was falling into an ice cave, and could only desperately shake his head to deny: "Even if Sakumo is not dead, personal strength alone can still not change anything."

"Of course." Orochimaru continued, "But what if the forces of the ninjas who were suppressed or even exterminated by you are also united?"

"Is there no effect?!"

Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju looked at Orochimaru looking at them, and they were a little confused for a while: "Orochimaru, look at what we are doing, keep talking."

Orochimaru said lightly: "Because the first clan to be exterminated was the Senju clan."

"What?!"

Hashirama Senju opened his mouth blankly.

The Senju clan was exterminated?

Impossible!

As the most powerful ninja clan in the ninja world, who has the strength to wipe out the Senju clan?

And Monkey is Tobirama's disciple, how could he attack the Senju clan?

Senju Tobirama frowned and said in a deep voice: "Orochimaru, when I was in power, I implemented a policy to encourage the members of the Senju clan to give up the Senju surname and integrate into Konoha."

"Isn't this what you want to talk about?"

Orochimaru shook his head: "If it was just the loss of the Senju surname, I certainly wouldn't bring it up separately."

"The Senju clan really no longer exists!"

After hearing Orochimaru's answer, Senju Tobirama couldn't sit still and stood up and said: "Orochimaru, explain it clearly!"

"The story has to start from your death..." Orochimaru organized his words.

"After Sarutobi Hiruzen came to power, he began to suppress the ninja clans in Konoha in order to consolidate his power."

"The first to bear the brunt was the Senju clan."

"Due to the policies of the second generation, many Senju clan members gave up their surnames and became civilians in the village, but the foundation of the Senju clan was still there, and many important positions in the village were still held by the Senju clan members."

"In order to eliminate hidden dangers and grasp the power of Konoha more quickly, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to use the policies of the second generation to send the already divided Senju clan ninjas to various battlefields."

"The Senju ninjas who had been fighting on the front line suffered heavy casualties, and the number of clan members began to decrease sharply."

"Even though they were willing to fight for Konoha, some ninjas of the Senju clan began to be dissatisfied and wanted to rest for a while."

"It's a pity that giving up their surnames means that it is difficult to unite as before. No matter how reluctant they are, they cannot disobey the orders of the Hokage."

"After experiencing continuous bloody battles, the Senju clan still cannot escape the fate of being exterminated."

"Even the few old-generation Senju who survived, in order to survive, never mentioned their identities. After two or three generations, their descendants have long forgotten their own life experiences."

"Lost their surnames, lost their heritage, and constantly intermarried with outsiders to dilute their bloodline..."

"Today, the Senju clan has completely become history."

After a pause, Orochimaru continued: "Except for the Senju clan , the Uchiha clan also became the target of suppression. "

"Not only did the clan land move to the edge of the village, but the Uchiha clan was completely squeezed out of the core power layer."

"During the Third Ninja World War, the decision was made to send the Uchiha clan to the battlefield of the Hidden Mist Village."

"The Uchiha clan's best fire escape was restrained by the Hidden Mist Village's best water escape, and the Sharingan would also be hindered by the Hidden Mist technique. Anyone with a little common sense knows this."

"Teacher, what is the real intention of your decision?"

Orochimaru did not give Sarutobi Hiruzen a chance to answer, and continued: "In addition to the two great families who jointly founded Konoha, the Hyuga clan, the Aburame clan, the Kurama clan... have all been suppressed to varying degrees, and many ninja clans have never recovered since then."

"If all these ninja clans are at their peak, why would Konoha be afraid of attacks from other ninja villages with its strength?"

Orochimaru's words made everyone fall into deep thought.

Many Konoha ninjas thought about it carefully and suddenly realized...

It turned out that Konoha had lost so many powerful forces without realizing it!

Ninjas from other ninja villages also suddenly realized it.

No wonder some ninja clans that used to have many talents gradually disappeared. It turned out that they were stabbed in the back by their own people.

Especially the Senju clan...

As the most powerful ninja clan in the ninja world, it was not destroyed by the enemy, but died under the conspiracy of their own people. It was really sad.

Everyone focused their attention on Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju in the barrier.

These two were once the patriarchs of the Senju clan and were also one of the founders of Konoha. What kind of reaction would they have after knowing this?
