Chapter 10 - Chapter Ten: Shocking Evidence!

"My God!"

"Is it real or fake?!"

"Did the Third Hokage and Danzo's assistant do something so sinister?"

"It's just unbelievable!"

As Hokori's words appeared on the light curtain, the whole of Konoha fell into an uproar. Most of the commotion came from Konoha's civilians. As for the various clans, while they might not know the specifics of what the Third Hokage and Danzo did, they had found some clues over time.

Especially the Nara clan, known for their intelligence. However, for the Nara clan, the best solution was to protect themselves wisely, so they didn't pay much attention to these shadowy activities.

Apart from the smaller families in Konoha, the Hyuga and Uchiha clans were now looking at the light curtain in the sky with satisfaction. The Second Hokage's grievances had been long endured, and now, by not adding insult to injury, they felt they were acting with benevolence and righteousness.

At this moment, in a tavern in Konoha Village, a beautiful figure was sitting by the window. As she poured herself a drink, she looked at Hokori's figure on the light curtain in the sky.

"Hehe, it's time to start, boy~"

The figure in the tavern was Hokori's teacher, Tsunade!

As Tsunade murmured to herself, she seemed to think of something else. Glancing in the direction of the Sarutobi clan, a self-deprecating smile appeared on her face as she picked up the wine glass again.

"Hmm~"

"Tsunade, inviting me here at this time~"

"Aren't you going to see our teacher?"

As Tsunade was drinking by herself, a figure exuding a cold aura from head to toe entered the tavern. Beneath his pale skin, the visitor was like a lion waiting for an opportunity. It was Orochimaru, the cold-blooded member of the Sannin alongside Tsunade.

Watching Orochimaru approach, Tsunade didn't say anything. She just picked up a bottle of wine from the side and placed it in front of Orochimaru.

"Come drink~"

"Watch a good show!"

Orochimaru looked at the wine in front of him and then at Tsunade, who seemed relieved at the moment. He hadn't seen Tsunade like this in a long time. Without further words, he picked up the drink in front of him and downed it.

As Orochimaru looked at the distant light curtain, a scene from not long ago played in his mind.

A few days ago, Hokori had launched a public opinion war in the village, exposing a small part of the incriminating evidence against the Third Hokage and Danzo. In an instant, the Third Hokage was pulled down from his position, the speed of which surprised everyone. Hokori then took the Hokage's position with lightning speed.

This development even caught Orochimaru off guard. The most crucial point was that at the time, Orochimaru was conducting human experiments with villagers and colluding with Danzo. Orochimaru thought he would end up like the Third Hokage, but in the end, Hokori didn't act against him.

Not long ago, Hokori came to see him personally, forgiving his experiments and even agreeing to sponsor his continued research, provided they no longer used villagers. This made Orochimaru realize that he couldn't quite understand Hokori, but he was very satisfied with being able to continue his experiments in Konoha.

Thinking of this, a long-lost smile appeared on Orochimaru's face, known as the cold-blooded one.

Now, he could just enjoy the good show brought by Hokori.

Soon, all the evidence collected by Namikaze Minato was displayed on the light curtain. This included plans by the duo of Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and Hokage's assistant Shimura Danzo against the Senju clan. From Jōnin to Genin, any ninja of the Senju clan was sent on deadly missions. The Senju clan, integrated into Konoha, was secretly captured for human experimentation to obtain the First Hokage's Wood Style. The two even murdered Nawaki, the young head of the Senju clan, and desecrated his body.

A series of crimes appeared before everyone in an instant. At this moment, the whole of Konoha fell into silence.

No one thought that the amiable Third Hokage could do such things behind the scenes. Even Konoha's clans didn't realize how terrible these two men's actions were. It was a family of two teachers, and after being manipulated by these two, only a few remained. Only Tsunade and Uzumaki Mito were left in the Senju clan.

"Hiss!"

"These two are so vicious!"

For a moment, everyone in Konoha felt chills down their spines. Without waiting for everyone to breathe a sigh of relief, the evidence on the light curtain continued to play, including the two's plans for each family and their collusion. The Third Hokage and Danzo secretly abducted countless geniuses from various families.

"Damn Danzo!!!"

"It's no wonder that as soon as a genius appears in the family, they disappear the next day!"

"These two bastards!"

Seeing this message, the big families who were still watching the show instantly boiled over. Combined with the geniuses that appeared in various families over the past few years, none of whom grew up, and all disappeared inexplicably, all the families of Konoha started rioting.

If it weren't for the pressure from the patriarchs of various families, they might have all come to the door by now.

In addition to the evidence against the major families, there were two people frantically collecting resources—not only the resources of ninjas but also the resources and money from civilians. All the supplies sent to Konoha Village by the daimyo were taken back to their families by the two. As a result, the Sarutobi and Shimura families, which were originally just two small families in Konoha, had grown in just a few years to a size not weaker than the Hyuga family.

The most important thing was that, in addition to cultivating ninjas in the two families, those without ninja talent were enjoying life, each getting fatter and more indulgent.

Seeing this scene, if it was the anger of the big families that was provoked initially, now it was the anger of all the civilians in Konoha.

"Damn Third Hokage!"

"Still calling him Third Hokage?! Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't deserve to be Hokage!"

"Yes! That's right!"

"And that old guy Danzo!"

"These two damned fellows! It's unforgivable!"

For a while, the whole of Konoha was in an uproar. Everyone began to vent their anger, and a deafening denunciation resounded through the sky. Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, whose hearts had sunk to the bottom, now heard this roar, and their faces turned as white as paper.

'It's over, it's over!'

'It's all over!'
