Chapter 38

You dare to talk to me about qualifications!

Chapter 38 You dare to talk to me about qualifications!

Habit is a terrifying force!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's nearly twenty-year rule over Konoha had made these ninjas and clans, whose professions and bloodlines were imbued with servility, accustomed to accepting the commands of the Third Hokage.

no way!

Even during Minato Namikaze's reign, the F4 members like Hiruzen Sarutobi still interfered and gave orders, and there was even the absurd existence of the Third Hokage's direct ANBU. As a result, it didn't have much influence on the many ninja clans of Konoha.

Furthermore, during Minato Namikaze's short Hokage career, which lasted only a little over a year, he spent most of his time trying to get his wife pregnant...

He was both young and short-lived; in reality, he was just a puppet under Hiruzen Sarutobi's command. Let alone the glorious image of the Hokage.

So until now, no one has ever questioned why Hiruzen Sarutobi is still able to hold the position of Hokage.

There is no suitable heir?

Jiraiya didn't want to become Hokage? Tsunade left the village.

This is what they call a reason? It's utterly disregarding the many powerful ninja clans and elite families of Konoha!

Perhaps this is the power of habit!

Uchiha Jin's disdainful gaze slowly swept over the shocked faces of the crowd, and his contempt for them reached its peak.

Laughable ninjas, despicable bloodline...

Since you cannot rid yourselves of this servile nature in your blood, then let the noble souls from the land of China rule, or...

destroy!

"You brat from the Uchiha clan, how dare you slander the Hokage! Does the Uchiha clan intend to commit treason?!"

Among everyone, it was Koharu Utatane who was the first to realize what was happening, and only her shrewish nature was suitable for handling such a situation.

however.

Uchiha Jin wouldn't tolerate such a senior jerk. A ninja isn't such a weak and incompetent fellow.

Sharingan - Suppression!

Using his powerful Sharingan eye energy to force Koharu Utatane back, Uchiha Jin stood tall and proud, roaring angrily at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, fought to the very last moment to protect Konoha, ultimately dying from exhaustion!"

"The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, sacrificed himself on the battlefield to cover the retreat of his subordinates for the future of Konoha!"

"The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, fought a bloody battle to protect the village from the invading enemies, and even used his life and soul to seal away the Nine-Tailed Fox that was ravaging Konoha!"

"And you! Hiruzen Sarutobi!"

At this point, Uchiha Jin stepped forward, pointed at Hiruzen Sarutobi's nose, and began to curse.

"Only you, the Third Hokage, caused countless young ninjas to sacrifice themselves on the battlefield due to your poor command of the great war, and in the end, you even willingly gave up the hard-won victory of Konoha!"

The sharp retorts echoed throughout the venue, instantly startling everyone present, who all looked towards Uchiha Jin with expressions of horror.

Uchiha Jin stared directly at Hiruzen Sarutobi with undisguised battle intent in his eyes, as if he were hurling a series of silent mocking remarks at his opponent.

It's a situation where everything is destroyed in the process!

Staring into those eyes filled with madness and fighting spirit, even the seasoned politician Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned. He never expected that Uchiha Jin would be so bold.

He wasn't afraid...

I'm not afraid!

After a series of tests, Uchiha Jin finally confirmed Hiruzen Sarutobi's politician mindset, and his confidence had now increased to 70%.

thus……

I have nothing to worry about now!

"Our Uchiha clan fought alone against the Land of Water, while the Konoha ninja clans fought valiantly against the other three nations. It was only through countless hardships that we finally achieved victory in the Third Shinobi World War, at the cost of immeasurable resources, wealth, and even the blood and lives of countless clansmen!"

Uchiha Jin was in high spirits at this moment. With almost all the clan leaders of Konoha present, he stepped on Shimura Danzo and pointed at Sarutobi Hiruzen, cursing angrily.

"As a result of your ridiculous weakness, we have lost our eligibility for war reparations. What do you take the lives of our people for?!"

"If I had been born a few years earlier, you wouldn't have just abdicated; this is blatant betrayal of the village!"

"you!"

As Uchiha Jin spoke, he became more and more agitated, taking steps closer to Hiruzen Sarutobi. His tone grew increasingly impassioned and sharp, as if he were facing an irreconcilable enemy.

"You f***ing! Were! Removed! From! Office!"

His words, spoken slowly and forcefully, stunned the entire audience, leaving the many ordinary ninjas and clan leaders present in awe for a brief moment.

That's right!

According to the records, Hiruzen Sarutobi did indeed step down voluntarily, but how could they not know that it was due to pressure from the Daimyo and the Konoha ninja high command that he was merely giving this "strongest Hokage" some face on the surface?

But at this moment, Uchiha Jin's words completely tore away that fig leaf, revealing to the public the secret that Sarutobi Hiruzen least wanted to be known.

"Uchiha Jin, what exactly are you trying to do?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was truly enraged at this moment. He was in a situation where his dark side had been exposed and he was powerless to refute it. Even with his years of self-control, he was starting to lose his temper.

But he can't make a move!

Although what Uchiha Jin said was harsh, every word he said was true. If he refuted it now, he would only find himself in an even more awkward situation.

"I admit that there were some mistakes in the decisions made during the Third Shinobi World War, but that's all in the past, and my current position as acting Hokage is recognized by everyone in the village!"

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi could only quickly summarize his remarks and avoid the unfavorable context.

"What happened in the past is irrelevant to today. I just want to ask you, Uchiha, whether you're going to release them or not, and whether I, Hiruzen Sarutobi, have the authority to deal with these 'suspects'!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. Even though he believed in the "art of compromise," he still needed to use tough methods to protect his interests.

"If it were the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, or if today's events didn't involve that bastard Danzo, then I, the Uchiha, would have no doubts whatsoever!"

"But you!"

"Once a member of the Second Hokage's Shadow Guard, they failed to complete their mission to protect the Hokage!"

Uchiha Jin stomped hard on Danzo's face again, and then roared at Hiruzen Sarutobi once more.

"Later, when the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was attacked, you, Hiruzen Sarutobi, once again failed to protect him, allowing the young and promising Hokage to unleash such a life-threatening ninjutsu!"

"And that bastard Danzo obstructed my Uchiha clan's rescue of the Fourth Hokage, yet all we did was dismiss him and permanently confine him!"

"And what's even worse today is that they let this guy show up here out of the blue!"

"You're asking me now if you're qualified?"

"Qualifications, ha~"

Uchiha Jin's cold smile remained, but at this moment he actually released the eye power that was suppressing Danzo, and then launched a powerful and heavy shot.

Bang!

As Danzo, the "Pot Shadow," rolled to Hiruzen Sarutobi's feet, Uchiha Jin's disdainful words rang out once more.

"You fucking dare to talk to me about qualifications!"
