Chapter 263

In the end, the three of them could no longer endure this overwhelming terror.

The three bent down and dropped to one knee before Hashirama Senju.

"We… surrender!!"

In the gaze Hashirama Senju had just cast toward them,

they could clearly sense,

if they did not agree,

then they would surely die!!

This was what their intuition told them!

To have made it this far,

none of the three were fools,

they had already seen the gap between themselves and Hashirama Senju!!

If they absolutely refused to bow their heads,

what awaited them would certainly be nothing pleasant!!

So they knew what it meant to be wise in the times!

Having reached their current strength,

the three naturally did not wish to die here!

Moreover, they knew,

with Hashirama Senju's current strength plus the Tailed Beasts behind him,

the situation in the shinobi world would soon be changed!

No other nation could possibly block Hashirama Senju's advance!

If they became Hashirama Senju's enemies!

it would only cause meaningless sacrifice!

So they were unwilling to throw their lives away for nothing!

Yuezuki, limping, also walked over at this moment,

seeing the state of the three,

he also knew the three had made their choice!!

After his body trembled slightly,

Yuezuki gritted his teeth and made the same gesture as the three,

expressing his submission to Hashirama Senju!!

Just now he had still been hesitating inside,

whether he should continue to strike!!

But the moment this thought arose,

he immediately rejected it!

Because he found that he was actually afraid!!

He feared Hashirama Senju would take his life!

Therefore,

Yuezuki could only choose to concede!!

After calming down,

he realized,

when Hashirama Senju had just fought him,

he had basically not exerted any real effort!

When dealing with them,

he probably had not even been serious!

After thinking it through,

all four of them realized,

when Hashirama Senju had dealt with them just now,

he probably had not displayed even one-tenth, or even one-hundredth, of his strength!

This result made the few of them feel a chill in their hearts!

If Hashirama Senju had harbored killing intent toward them from the start,

not a single one of the four would have survived!!!

……

In the Root organization,

Shimura Danzo saw this scene,

and could not help but clench his palm!!

If only he had such strength!!

then Konoha would long ago have been his to command!!

There would have been no need for Hiruzen Sarutobi to boss him around.

The position of Hokage would long ago have been his!

"Wood Release… Sharingan!!"

"Hmph!! These two powers, this old man must obtain them both!"

"Once I obtain these two powers… who will be my opponent from now on!!"

"Hiruzen… I'll let you know that I am the one who's right!"

"Only I am truly considering Konoha's future!"

Shimura Danzo said with a dark expression.

As for Hiruzen Sarutobi,

he had long since accumulated a great deal of dissatisfaction!

Now,

was the true eruption of that dissatisfaction!!

Because he saw the possibility of truly grasping Konoha's future!!

This possibility let him know

that he absolutely had to seize this chance!!

Once he seized this chance, everything afterward would be easy to handle!

As long as he was in Konoha, no one would talk back to him anymore,

no matter who it was,

they could not possibly find any fault with him!

With the power of the Senju and the Uchiha, he could make everyone accept his views!

In Danzo's eyes,

many of Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions were far too indecisive,

he wanted everything,

and worried about everything,

which led to him gaining nothing!

If Hiruzen Sarutobi did not care so much about his reputation,

did not care so much about his face as Hokage,

perhaps all of this would have been different!!

And Danzo believed

that the way he was now,

was the true embodiment of the Will of Fire,

that only he was considering Konoha!

He could be indifferent to the world's opinion of him,
