The Weakest Hokage!
Chapter 99 The Weakest Hokage! (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
Feeling refreshed and invigorated! My blood is pumping!
It felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck him directly from the top of his head, causing the blood in his chest to surge and boil, and goosebumps to rise all over his body.
At this moment.
All eyes were fixed on the Hokage in the very center, his handsome figure the sole focus of the world's attention.
It is filled with the unique spirit, character and ambition of the Uchiha clan, and it is especially appealing to the ninjas who fought in the Fourth Shinobi World War, and especially to the elders who experienced the founding of Konoha at the end of the Warring States period in their childhood.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but feel an unprecedented shock.
These are the words that a leader of Konoha should truly say!
This is the real Hokage!
Hiruzen Sarutobi was equally shocked and horrified. More importantly, he seemed to see that terrifying figure, who was both godlike and demonic, once again.
"spot!"
This confusion and fear lasted only a moment before a calculating glint appeared in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes once more.
indeed!
Uchiha Jin's words were incredibly persuasive, and most people in the room felt their blood boil. Even Hiruzen Sarutobi himself had a moment of doubt.
Did I really do something wrong?
Do not!
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who has always upheld peace, would not be swayed by a few words.
"Uchiha Jin!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes narrowed slightly, and after taking a deep breath, he continued slowly.
"You are still too young and haven't experienced the hardships of war. Furthermore, matters between nations are not as simple as you imagine. Don't ruin our hard-won peace!"
Swish!
However, his response was a blood-red Susanoo sword that suddenly materialized and slashed down at the group of people including Hiruzen Sarutobi with unparalleled overwhelming force.
Call me Hokage-sama!
Amidst Uchiha Jin's resolute and arrogant shout, Hiruzen Sarutobi, mindful of the people behind him, had no choice but to forcefully withstand the attack head-on.
"Old buddy, hang in there!"
With the addition of Hiruzen Sarutobi's chakra, the Vajra Ruyi Staff, which was already as thick as a small tree, suddenly grew several times thicker and even stretched out to meet the blood-red longsword.
"Like an ant trying to shake a tree!"
Without a trace of pity or hesitation, Uchiha Jin continued to slash down without a second thought.
Rumble!
As the Vajra Ruyi Cudgel and the blood-red Susanoo sword clashed, they instantly became entangled with terrifying force, and an invisible shockwave rapidly spread outwards from the center.
Click!
Even the Vajra Staff, known as the "Indestructible Vajra Staff," could not withstand the unparalleled power of Susanoo, and after holding out for a short while, it quickly collapsed.
But it was precisely because of the brief time bought by the Vajra Staff that Hiruzen Sarutobi, along with the Anbu and Sarutobi clan members behind him, were now completely out of the range of the blood-red longsword's attack.
but……
"Ape Demon..."
The defeated Vajra Staff transformed back into the form of the Monkey Demon. Before it could even exchange a few more words with Hiruzen Sarutobi, it weakened and dissipated into dust under the protection of the summoning contract.
"Yu... what are you going to do first!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's twisted old face was filled with rage, as if he had never expected that King Uchiha would be so crazy as to dare to attack him at a time like this.
"What are you doing!"
Uchiha Jin sneered coldly, his contempt growing ever more unrestrained.
"Only the weak wail like you are now!"
"The suffering of war, the anxieties between nations—all of this is because of you, Hiruzen Sarutobi!"
"It is precisely because you, the former Third Hokage, were so incompetent and cowardly that we, the Uchiha and Senju clans, were so powerful when we founded Konoha. With the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha joining forces, which country would dare to act recklessly!"
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was both ashamed and furious. His face, which had already turned pale from the previous attack, flushed red again.
"Peace is the most important thing. War cannot bring true peace. Only mutual understanding can achieve true peace in the ninja world."
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had spoken of the Will of Fire for so many years, not only said this now, but he also used this idea to convince himself of everything in the past.
Whether it's exempting Konoha from war reparations for the Fourth Shinobi World War or continuously unifying the power of Konoha's ninja clans, it's all about sending a signal of peace to the ninja world.
Only this way... only this way...
Only in Konoha, with its inherent advantages in resources and talent, can I, Hiruzen Sarutobi, realize my vision of peace!
Hiruzen Sarutobi's theory of peace made many people in the room hesitate again, but Uchiha Jin continued to mock him with disdain.
"Idiot!"
Was the ninja world not peaceful when the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, was alive? And how did he ultimately quell the war-torn and suffering-filled Warring States period?
"In this world, might makes right. All of this is because of you, the former Third Hokage. With such meager strength, you dare to call yourself the strongest Hokage?"
Ha! Tui~
Uchiha Jin spat disdainfully at Hiruzen Sarutobi, then continued in a cold voice.
"It is because of your weak and easily bullied attitude that the other four nations think Konoha is easy to bully. It is because of your ridiculous remarks that Konoha's White Fang did not shine brightly on the battlefield, but was ultimately buried in the slander of a petty person like you!"
"Our Konoha is clearly far stronger than the other four nations, yet under your incompetent leadership, even the Land of Rain dares to provoke us. Is this your so-called path to peace?!"
"The strongest Hokage? Bah!"
As Uchiha Jin uttered his last words, the blood-red Susanoo sword once again materialized in his hand.
Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was frantically trying to dodge, the blood-red longsword did not swing down at him, but instead turned and shot towards the north.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
On the Hokage Rock, the most iconic symbol of Konoha, two powerful characters now appear on the face of Hiruzen Sarutobi's statue.
Weakest!
The two large characters branded on the statue of Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi seem to be branded on Hiruzen Sarutobi's soul, as if delivering a final verdict on the former Third Hokage.
"you……"
Seeing Uchiha Jin's blatant humiliation, Hiruzen Sarutobi was trembling with rage.
If Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu hadn't joined forces to hold him down, there might have been a real chance that he would have rushed up and perished together with the other party.
"You make it sound so easy for you, but do you know how many families in Konoha will be torn apart, lives lost, and spouses separated once war breaks out?"
Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi was completely at a disadvantage, Koharu Utatane quickly stepped forward to fill the gap, hoping to garner support from more families unwilling to start a conflict.
Hahahahahahaha...
The signature Uchiha laugh echoed throughout the arena once again, but this time, instead of feeling strange, everyone felt an urge to follow.
"That's why I said you're incompetent!"
