Chapter 267: Crime
Chapter 267: Crime
"What crime have I committed?"
After hearing what Hinata Feng said, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face became colder than iron. On the surface, he confronted Hinata Feng and his group bravely and fearlessly, but his right hand behind his back kept gesturing frantically, hoping that some Anbu ninja would bring people to support him.
"Sarutobi old dog!"
Tsunade's face was filled with rage. She stepped forward and angrily demanded, "You desecrated my grandfather's body, shielded Shimura Danzo from conducting human experiments, and even led a group to attack me after I discovered the truth. Do you dare not admit these crimes?"
Amid Tsunade's scolding, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became increasingly ugly. He stared at his disciple, his eyes filled with sadness and disappointment.
Almost at the moment Tsunade finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath to calm his agitated emotions, and then said: "Tsunade, I don't understand why you would get involved with Hinata Kaze, a traitor of Konoha, and slander your teacher like this.
Have you forgotten your identity as a Konoha ninja, and that you are the granddaughter of the First and Second Hokages?"
At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly became very excited: "Tsunade, my disciple, return to Konoha, and don't be deceived by those traitors! Konoha is where you grew up and lived, and the position of the Fifth Hokage has always been reserved for you!"
Sarutobi not only firmly denied his guilt, but also turned the tables on her. Tsunade was so angry that her chest heaved violently, and for a moment she was speechless.
After calming down a bit, Tsunade continued to press forward, "Sarutobi Hiruzen, you still have the nerve to mention your two grandfathers! You desecrated their remains and used the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation. This must be true!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face twitched a few times, and his old body hunched a little more. He looked at Tsunade with a sad and disappointed look, as if he was looking at an ignorant and rebellious girl.
"Tsunade, you misunderstood the teacher. The teacher did this to protect Konoha. You left Konoha and disappeared. The teacher is old and weak and can no longer do it. In order to resist evil people like Hyuga Kaze and Akatsuki, there is no choice but to disturb the teacher's sleep."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's words were full of sarcasm, and he never forgot to discredit Tsunade while trying to justify his crimes. Tsunade was so angry that she trembled all over when listening to his words, and she didn't know how to expose his true face.
"What about my father?!"
Kurenai Yuhi supported the excited Tsunade and looked at the Third Hokage, whom she once respected very much, with a cold expression.
"Huh, I did something wrong regarding Shinku's Impure World Reincarnation. But all of this is to protect Konoha. The enemy attacking this time has a ninjutsu that can absorb others, so I can only start with illusion."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Kurenai Yuhi, a complex emotion of guilt, sadness and exhaustion appearing on his face.
"I understand that doing this will cause you great harm, but I have no regrets in protecting Konoha! As long as it is for the sake of protecting Konoha, even if it means sacrificing my body, I will let the successor Hokage make his arrangements!"
"you!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eloquence made Tsunade and Kurenai Yuhi so angry that they were speechless.
"Don't let this kind of person affect your mood."
Hinata Feng grabbed Tsunade and Kurenai, who were about to resort to violence with their red faces. He looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said in a cold and sharp voice, "Sarutobi Hiruzen, do you think you can erase your sins by being shameless and denying them?
Stop dreaming!
Whether you plead guilty or not, you're dead! But considering your evil deeds, you must die in disgrace, despised by millions of people!"
After Hinata Feng finished speaking, he ignored Sarutobi Hiruzen, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and instead mobilized his inner energy. Instantly, his energy surged, filling his eight meridians. With a slight raise of his hand, a powerful force erupted from him.
This action caused Sarutobi Hiruzen and the remaining Konoha ninjas to involuntarily step back several steps, their faces filled with vigilance and fear. The air seemed to be filled with an indescribable tension.
The next moment, the ground behind Hokage Rock suddenly shook. Everyone looked in astonishment, only to see the ground there rolling violently like waves, as if something was pouring out from the ground. Following a heart-pounding cracking sound, a huge hole suddenly appeared in the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a huge underground shelter rose rapidly from the hole and was completely exposed to everyone's sight.
That had been Konoha's last hope, the village's emergency shelter. After Nagato's invasion, a dense crowd of Konoha civilians, children, and Sarutobi clan ninjas had taken refuge there, their faces now filled with fear and bewilderment.
"what happened?"
"Have the enemies attacked?"
"Be careful, don't run around!"
The fantastical scene of the entire underground base rising plunged the base into extreme chaos, with panicked screams and cries coming one after another.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes widened and his mouth opened in shock, and for a moment he couldn't even speak.
He simply couldn't believe what he was seeing. That was a massive underground space hiding nearly 10,000 people, and it was nearly a hundred meters underground! Even the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball wouldn't have been able to reach it, yet Hinata Feng had lifted it up so easily.
"Silence!" Hinata Feng's voice was filled with undeniable authority. With a gentle shout, an invisible force instantly enveloped the entire shelter. Ninja and civilians alike felt as if their bodies were being crushed by a mountain-like force. The powerful restraining force silenced them, and they stared at Hinata Feng with horrified eyes.
"Okay, now the audience is in place."
Hinata Feng's eyes swept over Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Next, it's time to judge your sins!"
After saying this, Hinata Feng ignored Sarutobi Hiruzen who was struggling to break free from his restraints with red ears. He skillfully used his mind to control the ultra-high-definition recording and projection player in the training room. Suddenly, a giant light screen that Sarutobi Hiruzen hated so much unfolded in the sky, and then a series of images were played automatically.
In addition to the previously broadcast clips of Shisui, human experiment clips, and various confidential files, there is also a scene in today's battle where Sarutobi Hiruzen pushes the Konoha ninja behind him and lets others die.
Ever since the giant light curtain appeared in the air, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned extremely pale in an instant, his eyes full of struggle and despair.
A few years ago, during the night of the Uchiha clan's extermination, it was this very screen that exposed too much information unsuitable for outsiders, causing Konoha to fall into a long period of shock. If it weren't for Sarutobi Hiruzen's careful management, he would have been ruined by now.
"Stop it, you bastard! In the past few years, you've gone to the trouble of fabricating many images in an attempt to undermine Konoha's unity. Are you planning to do the same thing again today?"
