Chapter 10 Hiruzen Sarutobi's Decision
Hiruzen Sarutobi was absolutely furious.
The man before me is Uchiha Chiba...
First, he disregarded his dignity as Hokage and abused his power of life and death, killing civilians from Konoha Village first, and then killing ninjas from the Sarutobi clan. He completely disregarded him!
Especially after he personally went to the police force to coerce him, and even sent his loyal confidant Uchiha Shisui to warn him!
Unexpectedly, not only did he show no sign of restraint, but instead...
Make things worse!
The person he killed was his own nephew!
As the Hokage arrived, the crowd immediately fell silent, awaiting his impartial handling of the matter.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's reputation, at least on the surface, is quite good.
The vast majority of Konoha ninjas and villagers considered him kind and gentle, an approachable leader.
Naturally, they all believed that the Hokage would handle the matter fairly and justly.
Even if the person who died was a member of the Sarutobi clan, or the Hokage's nephew.
Unbeknownst to them, the ninjas and villagers who were watching had actually come to agree with Chiba's actions.
because……
Most of them finally understood...
She herself was an innocent girl who was killed, not Sarutobi Jiro.
When Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived, although he was still filled with grief and indignation, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hokage-sama!"
"Uchiha Senba killed someone in the street, and everyone witnessed it..."
"Please...please..."
"Let's seek justice for our Sarutobi clan!"
"My eldest son died on the battlefield to protect the village, and now even my only second son has died for no reason. How... how am I supposed to go on living...?"
Even Hiroshi Sarutobi couldn't help but shed tears.
Even the ninja civilians around them couldn't help but empathize with the situation.
Although he was a villain, he was indeed a father.
But Qianyu's expression remained completely calm.
At this moment, Chiba's two subordinates, Uchiha Aoki and Uchiha Yamakaze, finally arrived late.
Seeing that head, seeing Hiyori Sarutobi's cries, seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes...
The two of them felt a sudden tremor in their hearts!
"Aoki, I'll stay here. Go and inform the clan chief immediately!"
"good!"
Uchiha Aoki ran away with all his might.
……
Hiruzen Sarutobi walked slowly and heavily through the crowd and into the circle that was surrounded by layers of people.
He took a deep drag on his pipe.
Then, he slowly exhaled the smoke rings.
"Chiyu, what's going on?"
His tone wasn't harsh; in fact, it trembled slightly due to his age and anger.
However, everyone felt an extremely terrifying sense of oppression.
Qianyu simply said calmly, "Lord Hokage, you should be asking them."
He pointed to the victim's father and grandmother.
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the two of them, took a breath, and calmed himself down.
He stepped forward and helped the frail old woman up.
"Grandpa, what exactly happened?"
The old woman was still deeply moved and managed to tell the truth in fits and starts.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face immediately turned extremely ugly.
"Rixiong, is this true?"
Hiro Sarutobi clenched his fists, his body trembling, but his head involuntarily lowered.
"Yes……"
"But Jiro didn't do it on purpose; it was just an accident!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi coldly replied, "That's not what I meant!"
"I mean, are you really planning to protect your son?"
Sarutobi Hiio was shocked.
"Hit, Hokage-sama... I..."
"You bastard!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted him, saying in a deep voice, "You knew perfectly well that Jiro had killed innocent villagers. As his father and clan head, you should have dealt with him much more severely. Yet you publicly protected and defended him like this!"
"What will the ninja villagers think of us, the Sarutobi clan?!"
"How do you view me, the Hokage's family member and clansman?!"
Hiroshi Sarutobi immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Lord Hokage, I..."
"shut up!"
Seeing the Hokage angrily rebuke Hiro Sarutobi, everyone couldn't help but feel admiration.
As expected of the Hokage...
As expected, he is still as selfless as ever!
Compared to Hiroo Sarutobi, this is a true leader who wins the hearts of the people...
Qianyu remained silent.
Hiruzen Sarutobi ignored Hiyuki Sarutobi and turned to the victim's father and grandmother, sighing as he spoke.
"The murderer has been killed on the spot by Qianyu. He has been executed on the spot, which can be considered as giving you justice."
"As for Hiroo Sarutobi, he shielded criminals, protected his relatives, and perverted the course of justice for personal gain..."
"From this day forward, he is no longer the head of the Sarutobi clan!"
"As for the subsequent punishment, I will definitely give everyone an explanation!"
Sarutobi Hiyoshi's face turned ashen.
The victim's family members were immediately moved to tears and knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Thank you so much, Hokage-sama!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and sighed, "Don't thank me. As the Hokage and a member of the Sarutobi clan, as Jiro's uncle, I failed to properly teach him to be a good person. This is my sin..."
"If you want to thank someone, thank Chiyu."
Only then did these relatives turn around and kneel and kowtow repeatedly to Qianyu.
"Thank you for upholding justice, Lord Chiyu!"
Qianyu simply nodded slightly.
He glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi, whose aged face was filled with such heartache and anguish...
Compared to Hiroo Sarutobi, his skill level is far superior...
Hiruzen Sarutobi also stepped forward and patted Chiba heavily on the shoulder.
"Qianyu..."
"You did a good job..."
"well done."
Qianyu remained calm and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Hokage-sama."
"I will continue to work hard and live up to expectations."
A cold glint flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.
Then the pipe lit up slightly, revealing a hint of encouraging smile.
"well……"
He glared at Hiroo Sarutobi: "You come with me!"
Sarutobi Hio glanced at his son's corpse on the ground, gave a bitter laugh through his tears, and left with Sarutobi Hiruzen like a walking corpse.
Many ninja villagers, especially the victim's relatives, respectfully called out.
"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Hokage!"
There was much discussion among the crowd.
"The Hokage is still as fair as ever..."
"As expected of the Hokage, this is a truly good leader..."
"The Hokage has always treated all the villagers like his own family, treating them all equally..."
As Qianyu listened to the murmurs of the crowd, a trace of sorrow flashed across her face.
But he quickly shook his head and dismissed it.
Just as he was about to leave, he was suddenly surrounded by the relatives of the victims.
"Lord Chiba, thank you... thank you for upholding justice for Daiko!"
"If it weren't for Lord Chiyu, that murderer would probably still be at large and would never receive a fair trial, not even the Hokage..."
The old woman suddenly snorted coldly.
"The Hokage? He wouldn't kill that little beast..."
"His acting might fool you, but it won't fool my eyes..."
"Mother, what...what did you say?"
The old woman looked at Qianyu, tears streaming down her face: "I know that Konoha Village is completely ruined, but..."
"Only you, Lord Senba, have a heart as sharp as the sword in your hand..."
"A sharp edge, unseen, will never rust or corrode!"
Qianyu's heart stirred slightly.
He never sought others' understanding or expected anyone's gratitude for anything he did.
Even when he saw everyone praising Hiruzen Sarutobi's kindness, he remained completely unmoved.
But at least we can hear those two sentences from the old woman now, it's still a good thing...
He took the old woman's hand, nodded, then strode through the crowd and quickly disappeared from sight.
The old woman continued waving her hand, tears streaming down her wrinkled, aged face, overwhelmed with gratitude.
Then, she spat in disgust at Sarutobi Jiro's headless corpse.
