Chapter 117 A cornered dog will jump over the wall
With the increasing number of various ninja clans.
Shiko said loudly, "Sarutobi Hiruzen, didn't you say that Root had already disbanded?"
"Now that people dressed as Root have appeared again, they are naturally spies from other villages."
"Or is it that the roots never disintegrated at all?"
All the Uchiha looked at the Third Hokage with provocative expressions.
The Third Hokage was like someone who had eaten shit.
How was he supposed to answer that? These people's disguises were so obvious; anyone could tell.
These root members were already hiding, so naturally they wouldn't bother to change their clothes.
Orochimaru tampered with the Hashirama cells that Danzo had given him today.
They grow wildly after coming into contact with the nutrient solution.
They all went berserk and kept sprouting trees.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, answer me! Are they spies from another village or not?!"
Uchiha Tsukasa's voice boomed like a bell, forcing Hiruzen Sarutobi to answer without hesitation.
"You need to report them too, they are spies from another village!"
Uchiha Shitora forced a smile:
"As the Uchiha guard, it is our duty to protect the safety of Konoha and protect the villagers as quickly as possible."
"Not to mention Lord Orochimaru."
The Third Hokage's expression was grim: "Shihu, Orochimaru defected a long time ago, you know that."
"Lord Orochimaru defected back then because of the kidnapping of infants for human experimentation."
"But there's more to this story than meets the eye; Lord Orochimaru was framed."
Fugaku stepped forward seemingly to speak to the Third Hokage, but was actually addressing the nearby villagers and some ninja clans.
Orochimaru stood at the back of the Uchiha group, quietly watching them perform.
He was somewhat amazed that Uchiha Chiyo had so many strange and unusual ideas.
Fugaku constantly emphasizes Orochimaru's status by referring to him as "Orochi," even though Orochimaru is only a few years older than him.
"The Hyuga clan recently discovered that Danzo Shimura is conducting bloody human experiments again, so they contacted Lord Orochimaru."
"Lord Orochimaru personally came to Konoha to investigate and discovered that even though Danzo had been suspended from his post, he was still building up his private power."
"And they are also secretly arresting villagers to conduct human experiments."
"We, the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, have come to expose Danzo's crimes and clear Orochimaru's name!"
The Third Hokage could only stall for time as he asked Orochimaru, "Were you framed back then!?"
Orochimaru then chimed in, "That's right, I was framed by Danzo back then."
"Unfortunately, Danzo was the Hokage's assistant at the time, and his power was immense, so I had no way to defend myself."
Orochimaru and the Third Hokage were both pretending to be ignorant, knowing full well what had happened before; how could it possibly have been a setup?
That was a collaboration between Orochimaru and Danzo.
They're just shifting all the blame onto Danzo.
Fugaku then gave the Hyuga clan a wink, signaling that it was their turn.
Hyuga Souta also chimed in:
"Please come with us, Hokage. We have already discovered that Danzo has hidden quite a few people using our Byakugan."
"The trees that sprouted in those villages were caused by their human experiments."
Many of the nearby ninja clans had strange expressions as they constantly scanned the Third Hokage, the Uchiha clan, and the Hyuga clan.
Some people know the answer, while others are not.
However, everyone was caught up in Hinata's influence.
The Third Hokage certainly knew that the Root members were hiding inside the base.
Even he didn't know what was inside the root.
However, everything inside is something that can't be exposed to the light.
The Third Hokage looked hesitant, his mind racing to find a solution.
It turns out the Uchiha clan actually wanted to eradicate Danzo completely! And they even got Orochimaru to help them.
"Lord Hokage, let's go, or Danzo's men will escape!"
Fugaku, Uchiha Shitora, and Orochimaru all surrounded the Third Hokage.
They didn't actually intend to kill the Third Hokage; they just wanted to leave him with no other choice.
The Third Hokage's eyes flickered, and he could only follow the others toward the Root base.
However, the fingers holding the pipe in his hand kept flicking up and down.
The skilled fighters who had been protecting him had quietly left the crowd and headed towards the Uchiha clan's territory.
……
After acquiring a large amount of money, the Sarutobi clan naturally devoted all their efforts to cultivating their clansmen.
Of course, what they hope for most is to cultivate some highly skilled individuals who can stand on their own.
However, although the Sarutobi clan possesses the secret technique of Great Flame, they do not have a bloodline limit.
The chances of producing a Jonin are not that high.
Among the thousands of Sarutobi clan members, there is one who is the strongest.
That is, the person who often protected Hiruzen Sarutobi was named Sarutobi Sekishu.
He is the strongest member of the Sarutobi clan, apart from Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He is particularly skilled in disguise and assassination, and his personal combat ability is extremely strong.
Besides Ishizumi, there are 12 other members of the Sarutobi clan who are at the Jonin level.
This is all the high-end power that the Sarutobi clan has cultivated over the years.
The gesture the Third Hokage just made was instructing Shi Zhou to attack the Uchiha while their elite forces were all deployed.
Shi Zhou had followed the Third Hokage for many years, so these tacit understandings existed between them.
His figure darted swiftly through the trees, and soon he arrived outside the Uchiha clan's territory.
There are already many members of the Sarutobi clan here.
The official commander of the Sarutobi clan, Sarutobi Ryunosuke, is also here.
Ryunosuke was shocked when the stone boat landed.
He knew that Shi Zhou rarely showed his face, so his appearance meant that things were very urgent.
"Lord Ishizumi!" Ryunosuke rushed forward.
Sarutobi Seishu wore a headscarf and was completely black, standard stealth gear.
His voice came from behind the veil, and he spoke very quickly:
"Send someone to Konoha immediately to find either Mitokado Homura or Utatane Koharu."
"Send them to the school to hold off Uchiha Chiyo."
"Naoyuki, Mitsumasa, Shingo, Torajiro..."
Sarutobi Seishu called out 11 Jonin-level Sarutobi clan members in a row.
"Immediately remove your identification badges, take a large number of explosive tags, and launch a surprise attack on the Uchiha while they are vulnerable."
"The rest of you are waiting here for news."
"If things are feasible, we will send out a red signal flare; if the Uchiha are prepared, we will send out a blue signal flare."
"Remember, blue retreats, red attacks."
"Shang Xing, you guys keep up with me!"
Sarutobi Seishu quickly finished explaining that the people he called by name had already started doing so when he removed his identification badge.
By the time he finished speaking, the other Sarutobi clan members had already collected a large number of explosive tags, at least three or four hundred of them.
Sarutobi Seishu led his men, their figures flashing as they launched a surprise attack on the Uchiha clan.
