Chapitre 172: Chapter 172:I Did All That For Konoha!
"I entrusted Konoha to you and allowed you to inherit the position of the Third Hokage. Is this how you repay me?!" Tobirama yelled.
"The Senju clan was annihilated! The Uzumaki clan, a powerful village, was also destroyed by you and Danzō!"
"Konoha produced an exceptional ninja, and you feared that he would surpass you and become the Hokage, so you killed him?!"
"Is this the Will of Fire that I taught you?!"
"I must have been blind to take you as my apprentice! To make you Hokage! Even choosing Uchiha Kagami would have been a better choice than you!"
Tobirama was furious!
Had he been dead so long that his chosen heirs destroyed his clan?
Not to mention that even distant relatives, the Uzumaki clan, were not spared!
And yet, Third Hokage, you still cling to your position, while secretly conspiring with Danzō behind the scenes!
If my sister-in-law knew that the Uzumaki clan perished at the hands of one of her own, she would surely be so enraged that she would rise from the dead and slap Sarutobi hard!
Even the gentle Hashirama Senju was enraged.
When we founded Konoha alongside Madara, our goal was peace. We welcomed and protected many other smaller clans, both to safeguard them and to strengthen the village.
Additionally, when the Tailed Beasts were distributed, we deliberately kept the most powerful Nine-Tails within Konoha, ensuring our village's prosperity.
And what are the results of it all?
Hashirama Senju never imagined that his own decisions would lead to the destruction of such powerful clans at the hands of his own!
The Uchiha clan, too, fell victim to the schemes of the Third Hokage and Danzō.
How could such a person exist?!
What about my efforts to bring about peace in the ninja world? What have I accomplished?
Did I create a village only to witness its downfall?
My people barely tasted the blessings of peace before they were plunged into despair, following in my footsteps.
Hashirama Senju turned his gaze toward Naruto, the child forced to live a life of hatred and loneliness.
"Son, you've endured so much," Hashirama felt that Naruto's resilience was truly remarkable.
If it had been Madara instead, and the Uchiha clan had been destroyed, Konoha would have faced complete annihilation.
Madara was not one to bear grudges lightly!
"It's okay," Naruto said softly.
"It's a shame... If it weren't for Sarutobi, you would have had many relatives. You wouldn't have been alone like this." Hashirama sighed.
"Um, First Hokage, Naruto is my son, and I'm still alive," Minato interjected awkwardly.
"Oh? Naruto's father? Not bad. The father is the Fourth Hokage, and the son has proven himself admirably," Hashirama nodded in approval. He continued, "Why didn't you step forward when your son was helpless and wronged?"
"Well, I died over ten years ago after sealing the Nine-Tails. I was resurrected recently," Minato admitted sheepishly.
"Huh? Sealing the Nine-Tails caused your death?" Hashirama looked at Minato skeptically, questioning the strength of this Hokage.
Minato was left speechless.
"Where is that despicable Danzō? He can't hide from such a significant incident in Konoha now, can he?"
"You two are despicable! Your unity is only superficial! Is Konoha yours? No, this is everyone's Konoha!"
"I was incredibly naive in the past, choosing you two as my disciples!" Tobirama's temperament differs from Hashirama's, as he is known for being composed, logical, and ruthless.
Tobirama created the Anbu and implemented measures against the Uchiha clan to prevent their rebellion. However, he never anticipated the destruction of the Uchiha clan.
"Sensei..." Hiruzen was lying on the ground, his cheek marked with a large palm print, and blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
"Father!" Asuma, despite being shocked by his father's actions, was still concerned and immediately rushed to support the Third Hokage.
Upon witnessing the Second Hokage's blow to the Third Hokage, the surrounding ninjas instinctively moved to protect their leader. However, they soon realized that it was the Second Hokage who was teaching the Third Hokage a lesson, as a master would with his apprentice.
"Kakashi, is it true? About your father..." Guy looked at Kakashi with worry, fearing that Kakashi would be unable to handle the revelation.
"Yes, I know. I've already learned about this," Kakashi remained calm.
"Third Hokage, he..." Kurenai tried, but hesitated, unsure of what to say.
During this time, Asuma had been pursuing her, and she was on the verge of accepting his advances. However, now she was reconsidering her decision.
The Third Hokage wore a hypocritical mask, so what about Asuma? Had he also engaged in deceitful acts behind her back? She couldn't risk her life by blocking out the truth.
"Now the Third Hokage is finished..."
"Yes, I thought all those rumors were lies, but it seems..."
"I never expected the Third Hokage to deceive us."
"He did a great job with Danzō..."
"It's no wonder that since the Third Hokage took over, there have been very few exceptional ninjas besides White Fang and the Fourth Hokage."
"Did you not see the Third Hokage's disciples? One betrayed the village, and the other two didn't even want to return. They must have known something."
The surrounding ninjas began to whisper among themselves, discussing the revelations.
However, among the people present, all were experts, and they could hear everything.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also overheard the discussions and felt even more uncomfortable.
He knew that he was done for, and the carefully maintained image he had cultivated throughout his life had been completely shattered.
At that moment, he felt that it would have been better to die at the hands of Orochimaru. At least then he would be seen as a hero, remembered for sacrificing himself to protect Konoha.
Instead, he found himself crucified on the pillar of shame, leaving behind a legacy of disgrace for eternity.
"Saru! Tell me, why did you do this?!" Tobirama shouted at the Third Hokage.
Hiruzen remained silent, unsure of how to respond.
Should he admit that he was trying to consolidate his position and secure his power?
The Third Hokage knew that if he said that, he might be beaten to death by the Second Hokage.
"How should I answer this time?!" Hiruzen quickly pondered, and then suddenly remembered someone...
"I, Hiruzen, did all of this for the sake of Konoha!"
Yes! The Third Hokage recalled Danzō and how he would use that phrase every time he justified his actions.
"I... I did it for Konoha," the trembling Hiruzen replied sincerely and tearfully.
But in response, another hard slap landed on his face.
