Chapter 555: Hiruzen Sarutobi curses, Sarutobi Arashi is stunned

~4 min read 721 words

Sarutobi Arashi was stunned.

What is this situation?

Just a moment ago he was only asking about his meeting with Homura Mitokado, why did he suddenly ask about Shinnosuke's life or death?

He couldn't figure it out.

Could it be that in such a short time, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already grasped the evidence?

No, absolutely impossible!

Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi is the Hokage, even if he can mobilize the power of the entire Konoha.

But to investigate such a complex problem in such a short time, and even grasp solid evidence...

It's simply a fantasy, right?

He absolutely didn't believe it!

He must be bluffing; even if it's difficult, he absolutely cannot say it.

Thinking of this, he began to act.

"Clan Leader, what happened to Shinnosuke?"

"Did some accident happen? What kind of difficulty did he encounter?"

"Clan Leader, please tell me, I will definitely do my best..."

It must be said,

Sarutobi Arashi's performance really didn't leave any weaknesses.

His expression was sincere, looking like a brotherly friend.

However, it was a pity.

In the current situation, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no mood to accompany Sarutobi Arashi in acting.

Therefore,

before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted directly.

After taking a deep breath, he spoke coldly.

"Sarutobi Arashi, you have disappointed me too much."

"I truly did not expect that I, the old man, would have a day of being blind."

"You idiot have been by my side for so many years, how did you only learn some superficial things, while for the essential things of this world, you fool don't understand anything at all!"

"Do you really think that by joining forces with the three elders including Danzo, you have the qualifications to trade blows with me?"

"Danzo has the Root and the Shimura clan in his hands; Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado also have ninja clans supporting them behind their backs."

"Not to mention, they also have the status of elders."

"Even if I want to move to crush them, I would inevitably have to waste some effort."

"Understand? Fool!"

"It's not that I can't crush them, it's just that I have to waste some time."

"Keeping the three of them now is not because I can't get rid of them, but because they still have utility value to me before I solve the Uchiha and Hyuga."

"Nothing else, just that!"

"They dare to move against me, the Hokage, precisely because they know this, which is why they appear unscrupulous!"

"Because before completely eliminating the Uchiha and Hyuga, even if I, the Hokage, am angry, I absolutely dare not truly move against them."

"But you, Sarutobi Arashi, by what right?"

"They all have something to rely on, what does Sarutobi Arashi have to rely on?"

"The Sarutobi clan?"

"But don't you, fool, know that you can mobilize the power of the Sarutobi clan entirely because of my authorization as the clan leader?"

"Without my authorization, who can you mobilize?"

"You fool have been used, do you understand, idiot!"

"Do you think it's really difficult for me to want to kill you?"

"You don't even have a ninja status, so what if I kill you openly?"

"Who would cause me trouble for you?"

"Even the Uchiha Police Force, even if they have long been my mortal enemies, they wouldn't say a word for you."

"Because of ninja clan autonomy, the village cannot intervene."

"Do you really think that if I want to kill you, I really need some damn evidence?"

"As long as there is suspicion, it's enough, do you understand, fool!"

"Do you really think that if you don't say anything, you can just get away with this?"

"Have you forgotten the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan?"

"Even if you are just a corpse now, I can dig out all the truth I want from your brain, do you know that?"

"Or do you think your status is very important?"

"I admit, your strength is not bad."

"At least within the Sarutobi clan, you can be considered the number one genius."

"But do you know that in these years, I have killed at least eight or ten family geniuses not weaker than you."

"Why should you be an exception?"

"Do you really think the clan's inheritance and the position of clan leader are linked to strength?"
