Sarutobi Hiruzen's capitulation was completely within Kaito's expectations.
With Naruto in his hands, three Susano'o eyeing him, and the silence of a host of family ninjas.
Even if none of these three Susano'o had reached the third stage, without even a suit of armor, and with a size of no more than twenty to thirty meters.
But all of this was enough to crush Sarutobi Hiruzen. If a real fight broke out, the Uchiha might be buried by the flood of Konoha ninjas, but Konoha would absolutely be done for!
With this in mind, Kaito decisively deactivated his Susano'o, and with his movement, Shisui and Uchiha Fugaku also did the same.
But in the moment of deactivation, Kaito felt a great discomfort in his eyes.
But at this point everything had ended, and he didn't need to worry about further fighting.
"Hokage-sama, and everyone present, are you aware of what has happened tonight?"
Kaito scanned everyone, asking in a calm voice. However, he didn't wait for others to answer, but took the initiative to speak.
"The reason is simple, it's that Anbu member Uchiha Itachi, along with ninjas dressed in Anbu uniforms, infiltrated the Uchiha clan and attempted to attack or even destroy the family!"
Kaito's words made everyone present momentarily dumbfounded, because this information was indeed explosive.
Even ordinary ninjas know who Uchiha Itachi is, he is the son of the head of the Uchiha clan!
This guy actually betrayed his own family, actually played the role of a family executioner?
Everyone found this inconceivable, and even more unbelievable was the involvement of ninjas dressed in Anbu uniforms this time.
Ordinary ninjas do not know the existence of Root besides Anbu in Konoha, which made them involuntarily look towards the Third Hokage.
Did the Third Hokage want to wipe out the major clan within Konoha?
Surely, some of these ordinary ninjas supported the Hokage, but there were also some who were clearer-headed.
Even if they didn't know what the consequences would be, they knew this was absolutely something that should not be done!
The reaction of the major clan ninjas was even more interesting, they looked very calm, but their gaze had already shifted to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Hmph, nonsense! Uchiha is a member of Konoha, a fact since the village's inception. I will absolutely not let such a thing happen."
Sarutobi Hiruzen had noticed the odd glances from everyone, but he still spoke very calmly.
"Moreover, what evidence do you have to prove that all this has happened? Do you think you can just take some corpses from the prison, dress them in Anbu uniforms, and it's done?"
"Hokage-sama, if you have doubts about these bodies, well then, all the elite of the Yamanaka clan are here.
Why not, let them do a thorough examination?
And Hokage-sama, when I fought Danzō earlier, I noticed that he had the power of our clan on him, along with some even more interesting powers!
I think, shouldn't we also investigate Danzō's body now?"
Kaito chuckled lightly. Even though Uchiha Sojiro and Uchiha Takechi hadn't arrived yet, he wasn't worried.
Furthermore, Danzō's body was right here. Kaito did want to see what would happen if this guy were to be seriously investigated!
Kaito's words made Sarutobi Hiruzen abruptly fall silent. Dare he investigate?
Clearly he didn't dare, because he himself feared his Anbu might be involved.
As for Danzō, he was even less willing to let people investigate, at least he didn't want to move yet.
Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent, but Kaito wouldn't be silent, he had even more important news.
"Moreover, Hokage-sama, besides Uchiha Itachi and some people who are suspected to be Anbu, we encountered a very interesting person.
That guy is also an Uchiha, but he is not in our Uchiha clan's records, and he also possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan!"
Here, Kaito paused slightly. He surveyed the reactions of everyone present before he continued.
"That guy mastered space ninjutsu, possibly due to his Mangekyou.
The key point is that he confessed himself that it was he who released the Nine-Tails eight years ago, he controlled the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha.
Meaning, it was he who killed Lady Biwako, the Fourth Hokage and his wife, and the many ninjas who lost their lives protecting Konoha."
As Kaito's words fell, the entire scene exploded in an instant!
How could they possibly forget the events of eight years ago? Many of them lost family and friends then, and they also lost their Fourth Hokage!
And now, a mysterious Uchiha, admitting that he himself had released the Nine-Tails and caused the death of so many people.
And this guy also collaborated with Uchiha Itachi, along with a group of people dressed in Anbu uniforms, to attack Uchiha. What explosive news this is.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was also taken aback now, and his face could no longer remain calm.
He always knew one thing, that Uchiha Itachi indeed admitted that someone had approached him, but he referred to some Akatsuki organization.
He never mentioned who exactly the person was, their characteristics and abilities, nor did he ever say that the person was an Uchiha!
He only said to trust him, he only said he could complete the task, and now...
"Make way, make way!"
Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was full of doubts, a group of people carrying bodies suddenly walked in from the perimeter.
Although many ninjas frowned as they saw the bodies all dressed in Anbu uniforms, they still stepped aside to let them through.
Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen involuntarily closed his eyes. He knew that things were developing in an even worse direction.
The only thing he was grateful for now was that he hadn't agreed to let Kaito have the Yamanaka clan investigate directly. If they actually investigated someone from the Anbu, this matter would become impossible to resolve.
"Hokage-sama, these are the people who attacked us along with Uchiha Itachi tonight. However, some of the bodies have already melted, a method that is quite like the Anbu's."
Kaito, staring intently at Sarutobi Hiruzen, spoke again. Each of his words was like a heavy hammer striking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart.
"In addition to these bodies, we also installed some surveillance devices in the clan, and unfortunately, all of this was captured.
I think, everyone here should be familiar with this, and I had these things brought here. I think we can now show everyone.
Let's see what these guys intended to do, let's see if what I said is true, and let's see if that mysterious Uchiha really exists."
At this point, Kaito paused slightly, then his gaze locked onto Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"What do you say, Hokage-sama?"
What to say?
Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes and fell silent for a moment. To play these surveillance videos, he was truly conflicted.
But such conflict didn't last long, he had already made a decision.
Danzō was dead, nothing could be reversed. What he could do now was to completely sever relations. Also, he needed to ascertain one thing.
That was whether the Uchiha from eight years ago, as Kaito described, really existed. This matter was truly very, very important to him!
"If you have evidence, then play it."
However, as the playback began, the faces of everyone present changed...
