Diss You! Sarutobi Hiruzen!
What is revenge?
In the original manga, Uchiha Sasuke shouted every single day that he wanted to kill that man to avenge his clan.
Yet when he finally learned the truth behind the Uchiha clan's destruction, he only killed Danzo Shimura, and the so-called hatred was resolved just like that.
To be honest, Uchiha Yi felt that this was far too light.
It was like children playing house—this kind of outcome could not even be called revenge!
What Uchiha Yi had to do now was exactly what he had just said out loud.
He would not let go of a single one of these so-called "enemies."
Not their relatives.
Not their families.
Not even the dogs they kept.
Saying these words in front of so many people would undoubtedly plant deep panic and fear in the hearts of the ninja clans and civilian families present.
Because none of them knew when this Uchiha Avenger would come for them and take their lives.
Unless
Unless this Uchiha Avenger was completely erased!
Thinking of this, even before the Third Hokage said anything, the elite shinobi of Konoha had already drawn their weapons.
As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen gave the slightest nod, they would strike instantly.
"Heh heh."
"This is nothing more than a shadow clone."
"Trying to keep me here is completely meaningless."
"For the next period of time, let us slowly play this revenge game."
"You kill me once."
"I'll kill you all in return."
"Of course, anyone who did not participate in the extermination of the Uchiha clan"
"Is not on my hunting list."
"But if you dare interfere with my revenge"
"Then don't blame me for being merciless."
"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say."
"And one more thing…"
Just as Uchiha Yi was about to release the shadow clone, a small figure suddenly rushed toward him, ignoring all attempts to stop him.
"What do you mean by what you just said?!"
"Wasn't it Uchiha Itachi who destroyed the Uchiha clan?!"
Sasuke, who had overheard the conversation from a distance, could no longer suppress the confusion and turmoil in his heart. Panting heavily, he rushed forward, desperately demanding an answer from Uchiha Yi.
"Enough!"
"The so-called Uchiha Avenger!"
"I don't know where you heard these rumors."
"As the Third Hokage of Konohagakure, I will solemnly clarify this matter!"
"The annihilation of the Uchiha clan was carried out by Uchiha Itachi alone."
"After learning of this, I deeply regretted my inability to prevent such a tragedy."
"If you believe this explanation to be false"
"Then come for me."
"Do not harm innocent people."
"If killing me, the Hokage, can calm your hatred"
"Then come and take my life!"
Before Uchiha Yi could answer Sasuke, Sarutobi Hiruzen who had remained silent the entire time finally spoke.
Every word he spoke was carefully chosen.
He distanced himself from responsibility while simultaneously presenting the dignity and self-sacrifice of a Hokage, retreating in order to advance.
After hearing this, many people subconsciously felt sympathy toward him.
Those who had begun doubting the truth of the Uchiha massacre after Uchiha Yi's words now unconsciously leaned back toward Sarutobi Hiruzen.
What a truly terrifying old fox.
"Hahahahaha!"
The Fifth Uchiha Laughing Hero, Uchiha Yi, officially went online!
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, I hereby name you the most hypocritical Hokage in history!"
"With just a few words, you completely absolve yourself of responsibility!"
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Or do you think everyone here is an idiot?!"
"The Uchiha clan was the strongest clan during the Warring States Era!"
"And now you're telling me that Uchiha Itachi alone wiped out such a powerful clan without leaving a single survivor?!"
"And this happened inside Konoha Village?!"
"Was there no noise?"
"No battle?"
"Did all the Uchiha kneel down and wait to be slaughtered?!"
"Or were all the Konoha ANBU assigned to monitor the Uchiha under a genjutsu so powerful they became blind?!"
"How could you the Hokage who controls everything in this village know absolutely nothing?!"
"And what did you do once you did know?"
"You waited until every Uchiha was dead before stepping out to act righteous and say a few comforting words?!"
"If you claim the Uchiha massacre had nothing to do with you"
"Do you really think anyone would believe that?!"
"Stop pretending to be a victim, Sarutobi!"
"Stop lying until even you believe it!"
"You are the one who manipulated the Uchiha clan into extinction!"
Uchiha Yi could no longer hold back.
Although he had only been an Uchiha for just over a month
In that short month, he had felt nothing but oppression.
Whispers.
Hostility.
Thinly veiled malice from villagers and shinobi alike.
Sometimes, he truly wanted to grab a brick and smash the faces of those people who radiated hatred toward him.
As a transmigrator, he knew exactly why this happened.
It was the result of deliberate manipulation by Konoha's upper echelon.
But back then, he was weak.
He could only endure it silently, pretending not to hear or see anything.
Now, after venting all the resentment he had bottled up for an entire month, Uchiha Yi felt incomparably refreshed.
Was it really like this?
As Uchiha Yi peeled away Sarutobi Hiruzen's mask layer by layer, the crowd began recalling overlooked details from the night of the Uchiha massacre.
The more they thought about it
The more terrified they became.
Perhaps the Third Hokage was not as benevolent as they had imagined.
If what this Uchiha Avenger said was true
Then their Hokage was nothing more than a devil wearing the skin of a saint.
Public opinion shifted once again.
Many gazes toward Sarutobi Hiruzen now carried suspicion, vigilance, and fear.
"Uchiha Avenger."
"No matter how eloquent you are, this is still your one-sided accusation."
"Justice lives in the hearts of the people."
"I hope you reflect carefully on this hatred."
"Do not lose yourself to it and destroy your own future."
Sarutobi Hiruzen calmly changed the subject and attempted to lecture Uchiha Yi.
"Shut up, old man!"
"Justice in the hearts of the people?!"
"That's the biggest joke I've heard!"
"Do you really think your crimes end with the Uchiha clan?!"
"Then let me count them for you!"
"Tell me why did Hatake Sakumo, the White Fang of Konoha, die?!"
Kakashi, hidden beneath his ANBU mask, stiffened violently.
Could there be another truth behind his father's suicide?
Was it also connected to the Third Hokage?
After everything that had just been exposed, even Kakashi could no longer suppress his doubts.
"And what about Hyūga Hizashi the younger brother of the Hyūga clan head?!"
"How did he die?!"
"Were you planning to exterminate the Hyūga clan just like the Uchiha?!"
Hiashi Hyūga's expression twisted in pain as memories surged back.
But cold sweat soaked his back at Uchiha Yi's next implication.
Had the higher-ups truly intended to act against the Hyūga clan?
After all, the bloody lesson of the Uchiha was right before their eyes.
"Oh, right."
"Speaking of extermination"
"I'm curious."
"How did the Senju clan decline until only Senju Tsunade remained?"
"And how was the Uzumaki clan—relatives of the First Hokage completely wiped out?!"
"Third Hokage."
"Care to explain?"
"Why is it that every powerful clan related to Konoha was destroyed"
"While minor clans like Sarutobi and Shimura rose higher and higher?!"
"Once is coincidence."
"Twice might be ignorance."
"But three times? Four times? Five times?!"
"Is that still accidental?"
"Look over there."
"That blond kid."
"That's the so-called Nine-Tails demon fox everyone whispers about, isn't it?"
"He"
"Enough!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen finally roared.
Uchiha Yi's words struck like blades, piercing directly into his heart.
When Uzumaki Naruto was mentioned, Hiruzen's psychological defense completely collapsed.
Stopping him only made things worse.
It was nothing but silent admission.
But whether Naruto's secret was revealed today or later made little difference.
Uchiha Yi could come back whenever he pleased.
What had already been exposed was more than enough.
It was enough to plunge Konoha into chaos.
"Hehehe…"
"Go home."
"Think carefully about how to protect your families."
"Or you can imitate Uchiha Itachi"
"And kill your own people first."
"Otherwise, when I act"
"They may suffer far more."
"Hahahahaha!"
With a loud laugh, the shadow clone dispersed.
Leaving behind a group of Konoha shinobi and villagers
Each trapped in their own thoughts.
