The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 252 The village was dry, or was it the village that was dry?

Chapter 252 The village was dry, or was it the village that was dry?

Ban's pupils dilated in shock; he had never imagined that his plan would be known to the person in front of him.

What went wrong?

A thought flashed through his mind, and he found the problem.

Nagato was completely unaware of everything, and since it was his ninjutsu creation, it was impossible for it to betray him. Therefore, the only link that could have gone wrong was Uchiha Obito.

"Hmph, a loser is still a loser, utterly hopeless!"

"Was choosing Obito as the executor a mistake in the first place?"

"But where is Zetsu, who was in charge of supervising Obito? How could he have failed in his duty?"

He quickly formed hand seals and began to summon Jue.

Meanwhile, Hashirama brought Tobirama before Kazuma and asked, with disheveled hair, "Are you the current Hokage of Konoha?"

"Who gave you permission to use such a forbidden technique as the Impure World Reincarnation?"

Hashirama's fierce aura descended upon him, making it difficult for Kazuma to breathe, and his heart began to pound wildly.

However, for the sake of his daimyo's dignity, Kazuma refused to back down and stubbornly shouted, "What Hokage or what Hokage?"

"In today's Konoha Village, the position of Hokage no longer exists. All ninjas swear allegiance to the Daimyo and obey his orders."

"What?!" Hashirama's brow furrowed, and he immediately became furious. "The one-country-one-village system was jointly established by me and the first Daimyo of the Land of Fire."

"How dare you vandalize like this?"

"What do you mean by 'we're destroying things at will'?" Kazuma shouted, his eyes wide. "This was clearly a plan proposed by your Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who wanted to use the title of Hokage to gain the support of the Daimyo and nobles."

"In order to achieve this goal, His Highness the Daimyo even agreed to conditions such as ceding territory and paying reparations."

"Cease territory and pay reparations?" Even Tobirama was taken aback.

Tobirama stormed up to Hiruzen Sarutobi, released him from the Impure World Reincarnation, and berated him, "Damn monkey, what have you done?"

"What about ceding territory and paying reparations?"

"Well----"

Seeing his angry teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi dared not lie. He could only put on a bitter face and briefly explain his plan. Finally, he sighed and said, "I had planned that after rebuilding Konoha, I would pay some price and reach a new agreement with the Daimyo to resolve this matter."

"But who knew—" he sighed helplessly, "who knew that my disciple would be assassinated by the Hyuga main clan as soon as he returned to Konoha!"

"However, when I was dying, I entrusted the title of Hokage to my student Jiraiya. He—"

As Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, he turned to look for his beloved student, Jiraiya, but after searching around, he couldn't find him and asked in surprise, "Where's Jiraiya?"

"Is he staying in the village to oversee things?"

But as soon as he asked that question, everyone looked away, and no one dared to look at him.

Tobirama possessed great political acumen. He understood everything before Hiruzen Sarutobi even finished speaking. He immediately glared at his disciple and scolded, "You've been made Hokage all day long, all you do is scheme and plot. You're not magnanimous at all."

"The most important thing for a Naruto is always strength!"

"If you had my elder brother's fighting prowess, who would dare to even glance at Konoha Village?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, an old man of such advanced age, was being lectured like a grandson. However, knowing he was in the wrong, he dared not say a word and could only obediently bow and apologize.

"I am so sorry!"

"It's all my fault!"

"Hmph!" Tobirama finished scolding his disciple and continued to press, "What happened to the village's strength? How could it have suffered such heavy losses?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and said, "A rogue ninja has emerged in the village, that Uchiha An from the other side. He colluded with the Akatsuki organization led by Nagato in Amegakure and launched an attack on the village."

"That Nagato possessed the same Rinnegan as the Sage of Six Paths, and his strength was extremely formidable. Many Jonin from the village died in that battle."

"Hmph, as expected, the evil Uchiha!"

Tobirama cursed angrily, then his eyes darted around before he said, "These rogue ninjas from the Uchiha clan should be dealt with by the Uchiha clan."

"You should force the Uchiha clan leader to lead an expedition to clean house!"

"This—" Hiruzen Sarutobi blushed, his gaze beginning to wander.

"Hmm? Is there something wrong with your expression?" Tobirama asked curiously.

Itachi, who had been keeping a low profile behind Kazuma, couldn't help but step forward and explain to the Third Hokage: "The Uchiha clan is narrow-minded and lacks a sense of the bigger picture. They were ordered to be wiped out by the village long ago."

"That damned Uchiha An, he's one of the survivors from the night of the massacre."

"Lord Tobirama, please don't blame the Third Hokage. Blame me instead."

"I was the one who carried out the mission. It was my fault for not eliminating the root of the problem. It's all my fault."

"Exterminate the clan?" Tobirama turned his head blankly to glance at Itachi, then turned back to stare fiercely at Hiruzen Sarutobi, asking each word slowly and deliberately, "You gave the order?"

"that----"

Hiruzen Sarutobi opened his mouth, still wanting to argue that Danzo had acted on his own, but knowing that such things couldn't be hidden from the shrewd Second Hokage, he gave up, lowered his head, and quietly admitted his mistake.

"It's because I failed to maintain my balance."

"Hoo—" The Second Hokage took a deep breath, then exhaled heavily, finally pointing at the Uchiha group glaring at them with bloodshot eyes and asking, "So those Uchiha over there are the ones the village wiped out?"

"Yes."

The second generation looked displeased after hearing this, but ultimately suppressed his anger.

"Alright, at least we've eliminated the unstable element in the village."

He then pointed to the Byakugan army on the other side and asked, "And what about these Hyuga clansmen?"

"Could they have been wiped out by the village as well?"

"Uh—" The third generation was even more embarrassed now.

Seeing this, Mizuki stepped forward to "share the burden" of the Third Hokage, explaining, "The conflict between the Hyuga main family and the branch family was too sharp, and eventually the two clashed."

"In the end, the village chose the main family and wiped out all the rebellious branch families."

"Oh, by the way, the Third Hokage was assassinated by the Hyuga main family after the rebellion was quelled."

"So they really were wiped out by the village?" Tobirama was so angry he laughed.

"Hehe—haha—"

He laughed for a long time before finally reaching out and patting the third generation's shoulder a few times.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi!"

"You're really great!"

"I shouldn't have made you Hokage in the first place!"

"Even if Danzo Shimura were Hokage, he'd be better than you!"
