Being humiliated in public, Shimura Danzo's face turned gloomy.

He made silent gestures with his hands behind his back, signaling his men around him to wait for an opportunity to take action.

But his face didn't show any sign of it: "Who are you?"

Although he asked this, Shimura Danzo knew it very well in his mind.

Who else would care about Uchiha's affairs? Naturally, it would be the new forces that Uchiha joined.

However, such a small country in a remote area is not enough to attract the attention of Danzo Shimura.

On the contrary, he was very dissatisfied with Sarutobi Hiruzen who did not want to conflict with the Pure Country.

He always believed that if he had been the one to inherit the position of Hokage, he would have done a better job than Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Madara frowned impatiently: "Is this Konoha's explanation?"

As expected, one cannot be nice to these people from Konoha.

However, before Madara could make a move, the surrounding Anbu attacked first.

"Stop!" Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had hurried over from outside the crowd, hurriedly stopped it.

However, although these ninjas who took action were dressed as Anbu, they were actually the subordinates trained by Danzo Shimura - the Root.

They only obeyed Danzo Shimura and did not follow Sarutobi Hiruzen's orders at all.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen also brought ANBU with him, it was obvious that they were unable to stop all the Roots.

"Danzo, tell your men to stop!" Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted in a stern voice.

Shimura Danzo ignored his words and said, "Continue, clean up the traitors for Konoha."

Shimura Danzo had done many things like executing first and reporting later. His ambition had been nurtured by Sarutobi Hiruzen's repeated indulgence.

"Oh?" Madara looked at the two ninjas who rushed towards him without knowing the consequences and decided to let them get the punishment they deserved.

In an instant, accompanied by two almost synchronized sounds of broken bones, the two ninjas fell limply to the ground, no longer alive.

When Uchiha Fugaku and his men had almost defeated the Root, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally controlled Shimura Danzo's men.

"Stop, please listen to me first." Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again to calm the chaotic scene.

Madara glanced at him but didn't say anything to order the Uchiha to stop.

They are the ones who are looking for trouble, and they are also the ones who want to get things done perfunctorily. How can such a good thing happen?

"I am the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen. There is a misunderstanding here. Please listen to my explanation for the guests of the Ryuukakure."

To be honest, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to conflict with other ninja villages unless it was necessary.

It is best to try to resolve matters that can be discussed openly and peacefully.

Qinghe patted Lin who was hesitant to speak beside him and said, "Don't force yourself."

Lin has lived in Konoha since she was a child and has never been treated unfairly. It can even be said that she has a harmonious relationship with Konoha.

For her, Konoha is her childhood, her hometown, and a place with many beautiful memories.

She didn't need to force herself to make a decision. If she didn't want to hurt Konoha, she didn't have to show up. She wasn't the only one who could charge into battle in the Land of Clear Sky.

"Stop for a moment." The person who called for a stop was not Madara, but Haruka.

She walked to Madara's side, then looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen across from him: "Hokage-sama, Konoha's way of welcoming guests is truly eye-opening."

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw Uchiha stop and secretly rejoiced for a moment, but he was really angry with Shimura Danzo in his heart.

It is understandable that Danzo may mess around in Konoha on a daily basis, but he should not extend his hands to other ninja villages.

In short, it means bullying foreigners, and in serious cases, it means provoking a national war.

If Konoha takes the lead in bullying small countries, the other four big countries will follow suit.

Weak countries will perish due to aggression, and when the desires of big countries become difficult to satisfy, they will attack other big countries.

Does Danzo Shimura, who is not in the right mind, want to make the world fall into war again? !

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought to himself that this time, he must remove Danzo Shimura from the management team no matter what.

However, he will not slap his own people in the face in front of outsiders for the time being.

So no matter how angry he was, he had to clean up the mess for Shimura Danzo.

"This is a misunderstanding. Danzo lives in seclusion and doesn't know that there are no Uchiha left in Konoha."

"I apologize to the Hidden Village for his impulsiveness. However..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen changed the subject: "You guys are making a big fuss in Konoha, it's a bit too much."

"Of course, it was Konoha that was disrespectful first, so your anger is understandable."

"As an apology, I will revoke all of Danzo's rights. Now can you please let go of my Konoha ninja?"

"Konoha has prepared accommodation for everyone from the Ryuguku Village. Please move over to discuss the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two villages."

A slap in the face and a sweet date in return? Qinghe sneered.

She smiled and said, "How the power of Konoha changes is your internal affairs. What does it have to do with Qing Kingdom?"

"However you want to clean up the internal pests, the pros and cons have nothing to do with us. I don't see the sincerity of Konoha's apology."

"Konoha attacked our Vice Minister of Defense and our noble Daimyo. Everyone present witnessed it."

"If this is the explanation given by Konoha, can I think that..."

The curve of Qinghe's mouth remained unchanged, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Is this Konoha's oppression of the Qing Kingdom, intended to start a national war on behalf of the Fire Kingdom?"

"If the situation is as I said, facing Konoha's invasion, in order to defend national dignity and world peace, we will fight back with all our strength."

During the Chunin Exams, there were not only people from Konoha on the streets, but also ninjas sent from other countries.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen had not come up with a reasonable solution, what happened today would have spread to all countries immediately.

[Konoha oppresses the envoys of a small country, launches a national war on behalf of the Fire Nation, and announces the start of the Fourth Ninja World War.]

It is so just that other nations unite to destroy the Fire Nation for the sake of world peace.

Madara raised his hand, motioning for the Uchiha to continue.

They are just declaring a war, they are not afraid, they are doing this to resist the invasion, they have to fight back.

Uchiha Fugaku received the instruction and without hesitation, he struck at the root under his feet.

Immediately, other Uchiha also took action one after another.

The smell of blood spread, and the crowd gathered in a commotion, with discussions rising one after another.

"What should I do? There will be another war..."

"No, we have to flee to other countries quickly..."

"What the hell, Hokage-sama, you don't really think that, do you?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's head was about to explode. How could there be such an aggressive child?

With just a few words, Konoha was labeled a war criminal.

Ninjas from other countries hiding in the crowd are already getting ready to make a move, and things are getting a little out of control.

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke out again to stop him: "Please stop! Konoha has no such intention!"

There is no intention to invade, let alone start a national war!

"I will give Qing Kingdom a satisfactory explanation."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little reluctant, but he had to make a decision: "Shimura Danzo openly attacked his foreign envoy and provoked a conflict between the two countries."

"Konoha will take him into custody and deal with him at a later date according to his crimes."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen! You are confused!" Danzo Shimura, who had been pretending to be dead, could no longer pretend.

"You are just a tiny country. Why should Konoha bow down to you? You are so indecisive. You are unworthy of being appointed!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his voice to suppress Shimura Danzo's scolding: "Danzo, I was too indulgent to you before. You were blinded by power after all!"

He had always known that Danzo was unhappy with his teacher for passing the position of Hokage to him.

He also always believed that he did not meet his teacher's expectations.

So, he allowed them to seize power and wanted to govern the village together with them.

He allowed Danzo Shimura to establish the Root, guarding Konoha in the open and in secret.

But power is tempting, and roots that are never exposed to the sun will eventually rot.

The friendship between his comrades made him compromise again and again until today when he had no way out.

"Someone come here." Sarutobi Hiruzen said ruthlessly: "Capture Shimura Danzo!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Madara. Konoha had already shown its sincerity. If they didn't accept it, the Pure Land would be the one at fault.

But the Uchiha did not stop, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was unsure. Could they really want to take this opportunity to start a war?

Madara looked down at Haruwa, waiting for her to respond.

Sarutobi Hiruzen finally figured out who was in charge, so he turned his gaze to Haruka: "Can we ask them to stop?"

Qinghe chuckled and said, "I am a weak woman, how can I have the right to speak?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that the other party was still not satisfied.

When she broke into Konoha to steal the Nine-Tails, she was not weak at all. As for her not having a say, it is nonsense.

It's just that she felt that Konoha's sincerity was not enough.

But he couldn't give in any more. If he continued to give in, Konoha would only be ridiculed.

"Please rest assured, Konoha will definitely..." Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "We will definitely deal with him thoroughly."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen!" Danzo Shimura, who was being held down, began to struggle.

Seeing that things were about to become a foregone conclusion, he couldn't help but plan for himself in his mind.

He also has a secret weapon, but there are so many Uchiha here, and it is uncertain how many of them have opened the Sharingan.

He only has one chance, and he must control the person who can break the situation.

He secretly observed the scene. The person with the highest martial power and the right to speak should be the young man named Madara.

But the little girl seems to have more say.

Is it the person who controls the highest military power, or the person who controls the highest voice?
