At this time, it was almost eleven o'clock, and both Danzo and the three elders were all resting at home.
"What happened?" Danzo, who was lying in the bedroom and had not yet fallen asleep, walked out of the house wearing simple pajamas after being reported by the serving tribesman.
"There are people in the family who are using their power for personal gain. In the name of me and the family, they help others operate illegally and collect benefits." Kizaru looked directly at Danzo with a faint smile on his face.
Hearing Kizaru's words, Danzo's expression turned cold, "Just kill him!"
"Clan leader, please forgive me! I was just confused for a moment!" Shimura Shigenobu, whose life was at stake, knelt on the ground in panic and kowtowed to Danzo.
Ji Chong, who stood next to Shigenobu, was just an ordinary businessman. He had never seen such a posture before. He also knelt down and kowtowed.
"Everyone, get up!" As Kizaru said slowly, the ground where the two of them were kneeling seemed to be alive, forcibly supporting the two of them.
"The laws we have formulated for the Kingdom of Light have basically taken shape and are ready for trial operation at any time. Why not use these two people as testing stones!" Kizaru suggested to Danzo.
"No!" Danzo quickly tried to dissuade him.
Under the leadership of Kizaru, the Shimura clan has finally established a positive and excellent family image.
Reputation and reputation are difficult to build but easy to destroy.
Now that the Kingdom of Light has just been established, as the Fourth Hokage and the leader of the Kingdom of Light, Kizaru and the family behind him need a positive image.
"Kizaru, if this beast is handed over to the village for public trial, someone might take the opportunity to cause trouble." For Kizaru's consideration, Danzo sincerely advised.
"The patriarch is right. Now that the Kingdom of Light has just been established, the situation has not yet stabilized. We must act carefully and not give others an excuse!"
The speaker was the elder who had just walked to the gate of the courtyard. This old man was much older than when Kizaru first entered the ninja school.
The elderly elder, leaning on a cane, had wrinkles and age spots on his face.
Walking into the courtyard tremblingly, the elder walked up to Shigenobu's side, raised his cane, and struck it down hard.
"Shameful beasts, aren't the monthly benefits that the family gives you enough? Why do you do such a thing?" the elder said with hatred.
"I was confused for a moment too!" Chongxin lowered his head in shame, pretending to admit his mistake.
"Little Kizaru, how about we deal with it within the family this time? I promise, we can definitely interrogate all the scandals he has done!" The elder walked up to Kizaru and made a gesture of request.
Faced with the persuasion of the two elders, the Great Elder and Danzo, Kizaru did not hesitate at all. He said very firmly: "What this guy did is a rare thing for the Shimura clan and the newly established Kingdom of Light."
Opportunity! I will take this opportunity to implement the new law, start cleaning out the borers within the family, and gradually expand to the entire Konoha and the entire Kingdom of Light!"
"Is this too radical?" Even Danzo, a former radical, felt that Kizaru's idea this time might cause too much trouble and end badly!
"Little Kizaru, now that the Kingdom of Light has just been established, let's do it step by step!" Now that the situation is great, the elder is worried that Kizaru's new ideas may make the whole situation chaotic.
"Don't worry, I'm sure this time!" Kizaru said with great confidence.
Seeing Kizaru's attitude being so firm, the Great Elder and Danzo couldn't help but look at Shigenobu, that bastard, fiercely!
If this guy hadn't done such a stupid thing, how could Kizaru have taken advantage of this opportunity to clean up his family and the entire country.
"What are you going to do?" Since he couldn't stop Kizaru, Danzo could only try his best to support Kizaru's actions.
"Send it to the interrogation department early tomorrow morning!" Kizaru said calmly.
"Tonight I will let the root ninjas take good care of them!" Danzo said to Kizaru first, then looked at Shigenobu, and said coldly with a hint of meaning in his words, "You can repent to me here tonight!
Don’t think about dying to apologize!”
Kizaru couldn't understand the profound meaning of Danzo's words. He looked at his uncle and said helplessly: "Uncle! Isn't it too much to do this in front of me?"
"It's getting late, I should go back and rest first." Danzo, who felt a little embarrassed after being directly pointed out by Kizaru, turned around and walked into the house.
"Great Elder, it's time for you, old man, to rest." After watching Danzo enter the house, Kizaru looked at the Great Elder with a smile.
"Hahaha! Then I won't disturb you." The great elder smiled and walked towards the door of the courtyard.
At this time, the other two elders had just arrived. When they saw the elder who was about to leave, they couldn't help but stop.
"Brother, has the matter been resolved?" the second elder asked with concern.
"Little Huang Yuan has his own arrangements, let's not cause any trouble." The elder looked at the two of them and motioned them to leave with him.
The second elder and the third elder were both men who had matured with age. They just looked at the elder and left together without saying anything more.
The elder left and Danzo returned to the house. Kizaru, Shigenobu, and Yoshimitsu were left in the yard.
Kizaru put his hands in his pockets, looked down at the two people in front of him, and finally gave them a chance, "If you explain everything clearly, it will barely count as surrender, and the punishment can be a little lighter."
"Kizaru-sama, under the new law, are the penalties for bribery and corruption severe?" Shigenobu looked at Kizaru cautiously, with a faint hope in his heart.
After all, after listening to the punishment imposed on him by the clan leader and elders, Shigenobu suddenly felt that maybe the new method Kizaru said could save his life.
"Then it depends on your amount and attitude!" Kizaru said expressionlessly.
Hearing Kizaru's words and facing the gaze of the Fourth Hokage, Shigenobu, as a ninja, knew that once he entered the interrogation department, the secrets in his mind would definitely not be kept.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! For the sake of his own life, and in order to slightly reduce the punishment, Shigenobu hesitated for a while and then looked up at Kizaru again.
"Kizaru-sama, I am willing to confess all my criminal experiences!" Shigenobu raised his voice, showing a look of resignation.
"Lord Hokage, I am also willing to explain!" Yoshimitsu quickly followed.
"Very good! Speak slowly and I will listen carefully." Kizaru walked to the stone bench in the yard, sat on it, and crossed his legs.
Looking at each other, the two followed him and stood respectfully beside Kizaru.
Soon, the two men explained in detail how they had bribed the school teacher to obtain admission qualifications for Jichong's son.
"Is this the only thing?" Kizaru looked at the two people beside him and asked with a smile.
"One more thing, through my own connections, I got Jichong the qualification to open a ninja shop. In order to repay me, he gave me a 30% dividend." Chongxin explained honestly.
"Yes!" Ji Chong was confused by Shigento's confession. He didn't understand why his partner suddenly became so honest.
"Is there more?" Kizaru continued to ask.
"There is nothing between me and Jichong." Shigenobu replied honestly.
"Hokage-sama, there really is none!" Yoshimitsu said quickly.
Smiling and nodding, Kizaru looked at Shigenobu and continued to ask: "Keep talking!"
"I, I. Ever since you became Hokage, in order to make money, I have often done things for others under the banner of my family. From now on." Shigenobu explained everything he had done in detail.
Listening to Shigenobu's story, Kizaru realized that this guy was also a talent! He was simply a talented player who built a dynamic organization.
"So as of today, how many tribesmen and grassroots officials from various departments in the village have you attracted in total?" Kizaru asked.
Chongxin calculated in his mind and answered uncertainly: "There should be sixty or seventy people!"
"Is there a specific list?" Kizaru asked.
"Yes! I hid it at home!" Chongxin replied.
Kizaru nodded, stood up from the stone bench, and said to Shigenobu: "Lead the way!"
"Yes!" He replied quickly, and Chongxin respectfully walked in front to lead the way.
——
The next morning, at around eight o'clock, under the arrangement of Kizaru, fifteen members of the Shimura clan, including Shigenobu, went to the interrogation department honestly under the supervision of the root ninjas.
Kizaru's high-profile internal cleanup not only frightened the Shimura clan, but also other ninja clans and officials from various departments.
The Fourth Hokage is so merciless! When facing the fifteen clan members who made mistakes, he will deal with them all without any mercy!
Such behavior is a trend and a benchmark in front of others!
After sending fifteen tribesmen to the interrogation department, Kizaru did not stop. He arranged for ANBU ninjas to take the list given by Shigenobu to arrest those low-level officials who had had beneficial dealings with Shigenobu.
The wave caused by Kizaru was so quiet that Senju Tobirama was immediately alarmed.
"Kizaru, what are your plans this time?"
Look! What is the best tool man? Senshou Tobirama's performance explains it all.
"I'm going to take the opportunity to conduct a major internal cleanup!" Kizaru didn't hide anything and directly told Tobirama what he was thinking.
"Don't make it too big, otherwise there may be insufficient manpower!" Tobirama calculated the manpower currently at the village's disposal and made a suggestion.
"It won't be too big! This time is a warning to all ninjas to do their own internal self-examination!" Kizaru said knowingly.
"I understand. After the results of this arrest and interrogation are announced, I will hold a study meeting to let others study and examine themselves!" Tobirama said calmly.
After hearing Tobirama's arrangement, Kizaru showed a satisfied smile.
Just when Kizaru was conducting internal self-examination using his own family as a benchmark, Uchiha Madara, who left Konoha Village and returned to the base, was also undergoing internal cleaning.
Of course, there is only one target for Uchiha Madara's interrogation and purge, and that is Black Zetsu!
Time returned to early morning, when Uchiha Madara returned to the base angrily, he immediately called Black Zetsu.
"Master Madara, what do you want from me?" Hei Jue walked into the empty hall with his head lowered and looked very respectful.
Looking at Black Zetsu's appearance, Uchiha Madara used to feel that this guy was an extension of his own consciousness, very loyal and capable.
But now, after listening to Kizaru's story, Uchiha Madara looked at Black Zetsu in front of him and felt sick!
"Black Zetsu, let me ask you a question, how were you born?" Uchiha Madara asked coldly.
Hearing Uchiha Madara's question, Black Zetsu instinctively had a bad premonition in his heart. He knew that he might have been exposed.
Thinking of Uchiha Madara going out to Konoha to watch the founding ceremony of the Kingdom of Light, Black Zetsu immediately locked onto his target.
Kizaru! That guy definitely betrayed him. Sure enough, outsiders are not worthy of trust!
"Madara-sama, I don't understand your question. Am I not your creation?" Black Zetsu continued to act while thinking about the escape route in his mind.
If faced with the old age spots in the past, Black Zetsu would have been 100% sure to escape, but now that Uchiha Madara has returned to his youth and regained the Rinnegan Eye, his strength can be said to be at the top of the ninja world.
"Really?" Uchiha Madara held up his chin, his scrutinizing gaze mixed with strong murderous intent and anger.
"Since you don't want to say it, then I'll come and see for myself!"
After saying that, Uchiha Madara guessed that Black Zetsu wanted to sneak underground and escape, so he directly used Dewawa Tomb and Border Prison to control his invisible clone and strike first.
After using his clone to control Black Zetsu, Uchiha Madara stretched out his right hand and used the power of the Rinnegan to suck Black Zetsu into his hand.
"Don't struggle pointlessly. I promised Kizaru of Konoha that I would spare your life." Uchiha Madara said coldly.
Hearing Uchiha Madara's words, Kuroko couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what Kizaru wanted to do while betraying him and saving his life at the same time.
"No need for illusion. I admit that I was not created by you! On the contrary, your whole life has been part of the conspiracy planned by me." Black Zetsu looked at Uchiha Madara and showed a smile, which seemed to be a little sarcastic.
"Don't challenge my bottom line, Black Zetsu! Your life is still in my hands!" Uchiha Madara's terrifying and powerful momentum leaked out in an instant, forming a substantial pressure that affected the stone slabs under his feet and the surrounding areas.
The wall is cracked.
"The power you have now is all obtained by my guidance! Without my help, you will always be a loser who cannot defeat Senju Hashirama!" Black Zetsu continued.
"Do you really want to die?" Uchiha Madara asked coldly.
"Then just kill me!" Hei Jue showed an expression of "accepting his fate".
Looking at the Black Zetsu in his hand, Uchiha Madara quickly understood what he was talking about and said with a mocking look on his face: "You want to fake your death to escape, right? Kizaru told me all your abilities!"
Black Zetsu secretly scolded Kizaru for being a bastard, but on the surface he still pretended to be indifferent.
"My plan has failed! If Kizaru doesn't die, I will have no hope of resurrecting my mother! I can't complete my mission, what's the point of living?" Hei Jue showed a sad smile.
Not wanting to watch Black Zetsu's performance anymore, Uchiha Madara decisively made a seal with one hand and directly sealed Black Zetsu on the scroll prepared in advance.
After doing all this, Uchiha Madara looked towards the passage on the side of the hall, "Come out! Orochimaru!"
"Excuse me, Madara-senpai!" Orochimaru stretched out his snake-like tongue and licked around his lips.
"If I guess correctly! You are a spy arranged by Kizaru." Uchiha Madara looked at Orochimaru and said calmly.
"What a difficult question to answer!" Orochimaru said, warning himself in his heart.
I don’t know if it’s due to relapse or a simple fever. My throat is inflamed and my fever reaches 40 degrees. Maomao really pushed through this chapter! I hope I can recover a little after some sleep!
