Chapter 348 Taking an Unconventional Approach
Chapter 348 Taking an Unconventional Approach
Hiruzen Sarutobi's side was clearly prepared, with members of the Sarutobi clan and the Anbu.
The Utatane clan, the Mitomon clan, and the Shimura clan continued to gather behind Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Chiyo also restrained the enraged Tsunade and said in a low voice, "I told you, brute force won't work."
Tsunade exhaled and glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya with the look of someone staring at dead men.
Seeing the shadowy figures of the Sarutobi clan behind Hiruzen Sarutobi caused her a pang of pain.
If the Senju clan still existed, there would probably be this many people.
The Sarutobi clan deserves to die!
As the fire at the Hokage Building grew stronger, more and more villagers and ninjas were drawn to it.
Nobody knew what was going on.
However, it is clear that the Third Hokage and Tsunade have clashed, and are even currently in a standoff.
Hiruzen Sarutobi asked coldly, "Tsunade, are you going to fight me over something that has absolutely no evidence?"
Tsunade stared coldly at Hiruzen Sarutobi: "No need for further words. I only regret that my second grandfather misjudged people."
"You heartless bastard became the Hokage of Konoha."
Upon hearing Tsunade's words, the onlookers began to whisper among themselves.
"What's going on? Why are they fighting?"
"Isn't that Lady Tsunade?"
"There are also many people on the Third Hokage's side."
"What does Lady Tsunade mean?"
This was exactly the effect Chiyo wanted. He beckoned behind him, and Fugaku pulled out a megaphone and handed it to Chiyo.
The scene looks somewhat out of place, but a loudspeaker is just a very common thing.
Qianyao turned on the loudspeaker and spoke to the villagers:
"We, Uchiha Chiyo and Akimichi Torifu, in the name of advisors and elders, have abolished Hiruzen Sarutobi's position as Hokage."
"Whoosh..."
Qianyao's words immediately caused an uproar among the villagers.
Because Hiruzen Sarutobi was very good at putting on a show, most villagers thought he was a good Hokage.
Knowing what the villagers' reaction was likely, Qianyao continued:
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Hatake, Sakumo Hatake, Nawaki, the heir of the Senju clan, and Dan Kato."
"The plan was to exterminate the Senju clan and destroy the Uchiha clan."
"He embezzled the Fourth Hokage's assets and seized the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki..."
When Chiyo was shouting into the loudspeaker, the Third Hokage didn't even stand there to watch.
Instead, they sent out secret agents to drive away the ordinary villagers.
After all, Qianyao was very powerful. He was holding a megaphone and shouting, and no one could take it from him.
The villagers' impression of the Dark Guard was limited to murderers and executioners, and they were all terrified.
Not daring to listen any longer, he fled in terror.
These ANBU members showed no reaction whatsoever to Senyou's decision to dismiss Sarutobi Hokage, and continued to obey him.
But that's exactly the effect Qianyao wanted.
Although it was a bit dangerous for everyone to come out of the Hokage Building, the elders shouldn't have died because of that.
Instead, they all stood around.
After all the people were driven away, Qianyao did not repeat what he had said before.
Instead, he changed the subject: "All the elders, as you have all seen."
"Our Konoha Anbu has been completely controlled by the Third Hokage."
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, who should have been suspended from duty and under investigation, still retains absolute control over the Anbu."
The higher-ups in Konoha are essentially a group that maintains the operation of Konoha.
When someone breaks the rules, they will inevitably be targeted by everyone.
The elders present understood the implied meaning, and one of them immediately stepped forward.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, you should be investigated now!"
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, remove your shadow hat immediately!"
"Koharu Utatane, you're the Hokage's assistant; you should know the rules of Konoha!"
"Mitomon Homura, Shimura Miyasuke (Shimura Clan Head), are you also going to collude with Sarutobi Hiruzen?"
These elders didn't have much involvement with the Third Hokage; they were just minor figures in the past.
After all, Sarutobi had been Hokage for three or four decades, and their positions were nearing their end.
But things are different now. Anyone with eyes can see that the power structure of Konoha's upper echelons is about to be reshuffled.
They followed Uchiha Chiyo; even if they couldn't gain power, they could always get some benefits.
Now is the time to step forward and serve as a loyal minister to the new emperor; it won't be a loss.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, on the other hand, was naturally not going to be outdone.
Koharu Utatane snorted and fell over: "Who knows if Danzo, summoned using an evil forbidden technique, is real or fake?"
"Your evidence is completely unreliable."
Mitokado Homura also said, "Uchiha Chiyo, your methods of framing the Third Hokage are far too low-level."
Shimura Miyasuke chimed in, "If the Third Hokage accepts your investigation, who knows how many charges you'll fabricate?"
Then the two elders started blaming each other and neither side would concede.
The situation on the scene has evolved into one where Hiruzen Sarutobi's men refuse to accept the investigation and are unwilling to relinquish their power.
Even a large number of the Anbu have become completely under Hiruzen Sarutobi's command.
However, Qianyao had anticipated this situation.
So he stepped forward and interrupted the verbal sparring between the two sides.
Among the elders here, the strongest are none other than the Ino-Shika-Cho clan, the Inuzuka clan, and the Aburame clan.
Everyone is watching to see how Qianyao plans to handle this matter.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, are you still going to put up a stubborn resistance?" Chiyo asked, staring at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
At this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi possessed the Nine-Tails and a large number of Anbu members.
Furthermore, they secured the support of the three clans of Tōsō, Mitomon, and Shimura, making them a formidable force.
He didn't believe Qianyao could do anything to him.
Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Chiyo Uchiha, all of your so-called evidence is a frame-up against me."
"If an investigation is to be conducted, it should be carried out by the secret service."
"Instead of you and the puppets controlled by Orochimaru having the final say."
Qian Yao sneered. No matter what choice Hiruzen Sarutobi makes today, the result will be the same.
He did all this simply to show the other elders how deeply entrenched the Third Hokage and his group's control over Konoha was.
Chiyo didn't argue with Hiruzen Sarutobi, but instead gave Tsunade a wink behind her.
"Very well, since you are not prepared to abide by the rules of Konoha Village, then Konoha Village will not tolerate you."
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a chill run down his spine, thinking that Senyou was about to make a move. Jiraiya and Sarutobi Sekishu both stood in front of him.
Sarutobi Sekishu remained calm, while Jiraiya wore a pained and hesitant expression.
Chiyo and Tsunade stood side by side, and Chiyo said loudly:
"I, Uchiha Chiyo, the founder of Konoha and head of the Uchiha clan, hereby declare that I expel Sarutobi, Utatane, Mitomon, Shimura... and all of you Anbu."
Tsunade also said:
"I, Tsunade, as the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju, the founder of Konoha, hereby declare the expulsion of Sarutobi, Utatane, Mitomon, Shimura... and all of you Anbu."
The expressions of everyone on Hiruzen Sarutobi's side changed drastically.
Chiyo and Tsunade read out the names of all the ninja clans of the elders on Hiruzen Sarutobi's side.
It means, this is my home, and if you don't follow my rules, get out!
