The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

Chapter 60: Under the Spotlight, Hiruzen Sarutobi's Sordid Affairs Exposed

He saw sixteen divine and demonic shadow clones rushing towards him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was shocked and furious: Damn it, I clearly admitted defeat... and was willing to hand over 200 billion ryo... but his shadow clone is still rushing towards me... Is he trying to kill me?

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! I shouldn't have trusted that kid. Now he's tricked me!"

He cursed angrily and fled backward, trying to find a way out. He soon discovered that the black patterns on the barrier had disappeared.

Having guessed that the contract seal had disappeared, Hiruzen Sarutobi bit his finger again and slammed it on the ground, summoning Jutsu: Monkey King - Monkey Demon.

Emerging from the white smoke, a two-meter-tall white giant ape appeared!

"Ape Demon, quickly transform into the Vajra Ruyi Jingu Bang!"

The ape demon turned around and immediately transformed into a thick club with a black center and two golden ends.

Hiruzen Sarutobi grabbed one of them and shouted, "Enma, stretch out!"

The Vajra Staff immediately extended continuously, carrying Hiruzen Sarutobi, and rushed towards the weakest point of the barrier.

The shadow clones of Uchiha Mikado immediately guessed the other party's intentions.

Ten divine and demonic shadow clones formed hand seals: Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.

Ten large fireballs, each only 3 meters in diameter, shot out and quickly struck the Vajra Ruyi Staff, with some of the flames clinging to the black staff and burning.

Because their chakra was exhausted, the 10 shadow clones of gods and demons also turned into wisps of smoke and disappeared.

Just as the Vajra Ruyi Staff was about to reach the edge of the barrier, it finally turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.

Hiruzen Sarutobi only heard Enma say "Sorry" before falling from the sky.

Seeing this, the remaining six divine and demonic shadow clones rushed over quickly.

He punched Hiruzen Sarutobi in the face, the force of the punch sending him flying.

Soon, the Konoha villagers who had gathered around saw Hiruzen Sarutobi crash into the barrier.

His left cheek was swollen and red, and blood was streaming from his nose. Immediately, an eerie silence fell outside the barrier.

"Well done...well done...well done!"

Cheers erupted continuously.

A lame, retired ninja slammed his cane on the ground frantically, tears welling in his single eye: "This punch is for the 96 corpses of Kannabi Bridge!"

The little girl selling flowers tossed her basket of flowers into the air, and petals rained down on the cheering crowd.

She knew nothing about politics, but she had heard many people say that Hiruzen Sarutobi was a bad guy, so he deserved to be beaten!

"This punch is for the Land of Whirlpools and the Uzumaki Clan!"

"Bang..." Hiruzen Sarutobi's nose broke off.

"This punch is for the Thousand Hands clan!"

Crack... Hiruzen Sarutobi's ribs shattered.

"This punch is for Hatake Sakumo!"

*Pfft...* Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"This kick is for the students who graduated early because you sent them to the Hidden Mist battlefield!"

"Ah... my hand!" Hiruzen Sarutobi's left hand was crushed.

"This kick is for the people of Konoha who have suffered losses because of your corruption!"

"Ah..." Hiruzen Sarutobi's right hand was also broken off.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi was limp as a board, his face covered in blood, and he didn't even have the strength to get up.

Then, he was dragged out of the barrier like a lump of mud.

The tens of thousands of Konoha villagers who had gathered to watch gradually calmed down; they all wanted to see what would happen next.

The remaining 24 Sarutobi ninjas wanted to rush over to rescue them, but were scared off by a single look from Uchiha Mitsumine.

"Keep 200 billion ryo. The rest of the money, gold, and silver can now be taken out of Konoha. Hiruzen Sarutobi will still need to undergo interrogation and have his ninjutsu memories sealed. After that, you can take him away!"

The remaining Sarutobi ninjas looked at each other for a while, and after confirming their understanding, they began to move the gold, silver, and some banknotes!

The crowd of onlookers automatically parted to make way for them.

An elderly woman selling vegetables suddenly burst into tears of laughter: "So... even so-called big shots grunt like pigs when they get beaten up."

Uchiha Mitsunori slapped Hiruzen Sarutobi on the right cheek.

Hiruzen Sarutobi opened his eyes in pain and saw a pair of three-tomoe Sharingan appear before him.

"Sharingan, Genjutsu, Interrogation"

Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes had transformed into the shape of three-tomoe Sharingan, Mitsumine Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief!

Because Hiruzen Sarutobi is a Kage-level shinobi, he has extremely strong resistance to illusions.

He couldn't guarantee control over the illusion either, so he could only fight to exhaust his chakra, preventing him from breaking free of the illusion on his own.

"First question: Tell me about how you drove Hatake Sakuga to his death!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth opened uncontrollably: "I sent Sakumo Hatake to Kumogakure on a mission, intending to eliminate him through the hands of the Cloud Ninja, but he returned alive. Danzo's Root... spread rumors of his mission failure... and then I sent someone to hint at it to him..."

"That night, he came to me using a shadow clone and told me he didn't want to be Hokage. I only replied: Kakashi is a genius and will carry on the Will of Fire in the future... In the end, he committed suicide."

Uchiha Mitsunori asked, puzzled, "Why did you say Kakashi was a genius who would inherit the Will of Fire, and then he went back and committed suicide?"

"Sakumo Hatake said he didn't want to be Hokage, and I didn't answer directly, indicating that I rejected him. I said that 5-year-old Kakashi was a genius, threatening him with Kakashi's life. I said that I would inherit the Will of Fire in the future, meaning that Kakashi would become a disciple of the Hokage lineage; it was a deal. Sakumo Hatake had followed me for over ten years, so he naturally understood what I meant, and that's why he committed suicide!"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi's Lightning Blade lit up, but was forcibly held down by Uchiha Ryuho.

"Second question: What role did you play in the fall of the Land of Whirlpools?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was contorted, as if he was trying to resist something.

"Because more than a decade has passed since the war ended, the Senju clan's power has recovered, and Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya have all come of age. The Senju clan wants to reclaim the Hokage position. Mito Uzumaki is the First Hokage's wife and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so she is extremely powerful. Having her in charge of the Senju clan puts a lot of pressure on me."

"I secretly relayed the news that the Uzumaki clan possessed a sealing technique capable of controlling tailed beasts to the other four great ninja villages. The three great ninja villages of Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure were tempted and launched an attack on the Uzumaki clan. Faced with the pleas for help from our ally, the Uzumaki clan, I refused to provide assistance despite the pressure. The Senju clan, being related to the Uzumaki clan by marriage, couldn't resist any longer and sent 1000 ninjas to support the Uzumaki clan... In the end, the Land of Whirlpools fell, and the Senju clan suffered a severe blow."

Hearing firsthand about the annihilation of the Uzumaki clan, Uzumaki Megumi couldn't help but burst into tears.

Uchiha Mitsumine sighed heavily and said, "Ryuho, you handle the interrogation. After the interrogation, make sure to seal some of Hiruzen Sarutobi's ninjutsu memories. That guy knows quite a few ninjutsu."

After saying that, he moved to Huiyi's side and gently comforted her.
