Qingshu crossed his arms and leaned against a locust tree on the side of the road, listening to the uniform slogans in the distance.
Orochimaru, who was next to him, noticed with sharp eyes the first few people who shouted.
"Did you arrange it?"
"That's right."
Qingshu shrugged and said with a smile, "If there is no one to take the lead, they would not dare to shout like this."
"It's just a bunch of rabble."
Orochimaru withdrew his eyes and shook his head slightly, "It's of no use. If the teacher is cruel, just a few large ninjutsu can solve it."
"But he didn't dare." Haruki spread his hands, "As long as he takes action, Konoha will almost be divided, and his position as Hokage will be over."
"After all, it's just not strong enough."
Orochimaru snorted lightly. Although he didn't like Senju Hashirama very much, if Hiruzen Sarutobi had such strength as the god of the ninja world, how could he reach this point.
"What you say is true, but no matter how strong a person is, if he is not restrained, what is the difference between him and a wild beast?"
Qingshu pointed at the crowd of people in front of him and said, "You said they are a mob. Even if you are right, if someone takes the lead, they can burst out with unprecedented energy."
Orochimaru raised his head and glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo on the Hokage Building. Their expressions were ugly.
Unless he is strong enough to blow up an entire planet with one punch, why wouldn't he be afraid of such a scene?
"They think about too many things."
Orochimaru hit the nail on the head and said, "If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be so hesitant."
"So you are Orochimaru, and they are not." Haruki said with a smile.
After all, he is a guy who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, and he has no mercy in killing his masters. On the contrary, Sarutobi Hiruzen was too hesitant towards him and missed the best opportunity to kill him.
Orochimaru turned to look at him.
This sentence really struck a chord with him.
He turned around, with his back to Qingshu, and said, "I've finished watching the fun, you can handle the rest by yourself."
"Huh?" Qingshu was a little surprised, "This is only the halfway point, the most exciting part is at the end."
"The ending has already been decided, it's not interesting."
Orochimaru's figure gradually faded away, and finally disappeared.
"Tsk, you're not interesting at all."
Qingshu tilted his head and looked at the scene in the distance with a half-smile.
…
"Hiruzen, you know me. I don't need to go to war over a bookstore."
Danzo Shimura took a deep breath and said seriously and sincerely:
"Besides, my methods cannot be so simple and crude. This is just my subordinates' own decision. I am willing to leave these people to you. I can beat or kill them all at your discretion."
He did not hesitate to sell Wu Tai and others.
Even if these people were doing it for him, they had put themselves in such an embarrassing situation. Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't let him down, they would have no chance of surviving.
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned immediately. Although he knew his character, he didn't like this kind of behavior.
If it had been anyone else, he might have been blacklisted directly.
But Shimura Danzo was within his expectations.
"Why stop the publication of today's newspaper?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Ohgi Satoshi who was kneeling. Today's matter may not be that simple, he must figure it out.
He couldn't bear it if he was frightened like this again.
Shimura Danzo heard that his tone had softened, and immediately understood what his good friend was thinking, and also understood that he might not have read today's newspaper.
"It's not a big deal. I have a secret laboratory in the Konoha Torment Chamber, and it was also affected this time. I was worried that the "Konoha Daily News" would leak the secret, but I didn't expect Buta to openly disobey my order and use
Forced Damakichi by force."
He regained his composure.
"I don't think Damuzhi has the ability to incite these tens of thousands of villagers. There must be an undisclosed conspiracy behind this. Please leave it to me to deal with the root cause."
"That's enough! Danzo!"
When Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that instead of reflecting on himself, he was climbing up the pole, he couldn't help but angrily yelled, "Butai and others behave like this all because of your poor discipline!"
"..."
Danzo Shimura disagreed in his heart, but he stopped speaking.
Sarutobi Hiruzen jumped downstairs, helped Okichi up, patted his shoulder, and formed a seal with one hand to heal his injuries with streams of green chakra.
"Don't worry, I will punish Wu Tai and the others severely and give you an explanation!"
"Thank you, Hokage-sama!"
Omuzhi looked grateful and even had tears in his eyes.
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled. Could it be that he was being too preoccupied? From the look on his face, he seemed to be sincere and not fake in any way.
"Okay, it's okay. The village will pay double compensation for the losses suffered by your Konoha Bookstore today."
He stopped inputting chakra and said with a kind face.
"Thank you, Hokage-sama!"
Okichi was so excited that he quickly raised his hands and shouted, "Hokage-sama is wise! Long live Hokage-sama!"
The moment Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, the streets burst into cheers.
He was in a trance.
Listening to his compliments, he waved in response.
It doesn't seem to be a bad thing. After this trouble at the root, my prestige has grown even further.
After a dozen seconds, a noise appeared in the boiling atmosphere.
"Hokage-sama, I, Hinata and Tsukasa, want to sue Shimura Danzo, please let the Hokage make the decision!"
The sound suddenly became quiet, and Hinata and Tsukasa appeared in front of everyone on the dead street.
Sarutobi Hiruzen suppressed the sudden uneasiness in his heart and asked, "Hyuuga Clan Leader, what did you just say?"
Danzo Shimura was slightly startled, recalling that he had never had any conflicts with the Hyuga family.
He sneered and asked, "Hyuuga clan leader, do you know what it is to slander the Hokage's assistant out of thin air?"
"No need to remind me, I will know."
Hinata and Tsukasa looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a serious look on their faces, and their hearts were hardened. Now that this moment has come, they must not regret it.
He knelt down directly and blocked the honor and dignity of the Hyuga family. He wanted to make this matter final.
"Hokage-sama, please make the decision for me. The forty members of my Hyuga family who were missing previously were kidnapped by Danzo Shimura, an old thief, and used for human experiments on wood release!"
"You fart!"
Danzo Shimura was anxious.
There is still room for change in the human body experiment of wood escape, but if the Hinata family is included, this guy will kill him.
"You and I have both seen their corpses with our own eyes, how could they be used by me for experiments? Besides, I have stopped Mu Dun's experiments after the last time, so there is no way I can do it!"
"Why are you so angry, Danzo-sama?"
Hinata and Tsukasa showed murderous intent on their faces, and said coldly, "Hyugasha."
After the voice fell, Hinata Sha appeared.
Following his figure, the crowd suddenly exclaimed and stared at his branch-covered arms.
"……impossible!"
Shimura Danzo was so frightened that he took two steps back and yelled, "This is absolutely impossible!"
