There's no telling how much dirty information this Dark Ninja has in his hands, and the biggest flaw is that Kakashi didn't stop them from talking.
Danzo showed a strange expression. How could that devilish Konoha man forget such an obvious flaw?
Even if the Hokage's secretary forgot about the Anbu, someone would have done it. Now that they didn't do it, it was because they received special instructions.
Two idiots!
So he nodded and said that he would wait and see how he would fight back.
At this moment, the area near the platform was already full of people. The last time they came was to watch the succession ceremony of the Fifth Generation, and this time they came to watch the public trial of the Elders.
To some extent, these activities have greatly enriched the spiritual life of the village.
In an era of lack of entertainment, it is very attractive to gather together to watch those high-ranking figures who are not encountered in daily life being publicly tried and even executed.
Basically, people who have nothing to do will come to take a look at it, and it can also be a topic of conversation in the future.
The tall gallows had been erected, and the three elders were brought up, completely losing their usual demeanor.
Many people in the ninja clan felt sad when they saw this scene. No matter how elder or big shot they were, they were no match for the winners and losers.
The crowd below was whispering, saying, "This is the elder of Konoha, why is there a disabled person here? That old lady doesn't look very good..."
This ungraceful behavior made the two elders very angry and they glared at the audience, then looked at the Hokage sitting on the side.
"Kakashi, we..."
"Shut up!"
The Hokage's secretary shouted softly, and his powerful aura swept across the entire place, suppressing everyone's mental will.
The masters who tried to resist were directly defeated by the more powerful force.
"I will be the presiding judge for this public trial. Hatake Kakashi is here as a witness. Please don't make any noise."
The sonorous and powerful voice spread throughout the venue, and the momentum was so high that there was no end.
This... where did we find this Hokage's secretary?
I always feel that I have to suppress the fifth generation master in terms of aura.
"The purpose of the Konoha Public Trial is to expose..."
"Godaime-sama..."
"Now for the reading of the crime..."
With justice in hand, Noah showed no mercy and decided to make a decision on the timing of Konoha's departure.
"Konoha 32 years..."
"Konoha 41 years..."
There isn't much emotion, and just the straightforward narration is enough to make everyone feel uneasy.
The villagers just wanted to have some fun, but they found out that they were the fun.
Every time a line was read out, the people below were shocked. So that's what that store is like, so that's what that street is like...
The people around them who are familiar with them, the things they have come into contact with, all the conditions are under the control of these people.
"Konoha...Jounin Hatake Sakumo..."
When the Hokage's secretary spoke of this matter in a normal tone, the whole place fell silent, and the older ninjas in the village broke out in cold sweats.
Can this be said?
Although the Sandaime and Danzo deliberately designed some processes, including inciting ordinary villagers and other means.
But Sakumo did commit suicide, after all, which is not a glorious thing.
Committing suicide due to being unable to bear the pressure would be looked down upon in the general world...
And the Godaime came here as a witness... and he was serious.
Young people nowadays really don’t understand what they dare not do. It is speechless enough that Asma dared to show up in the conference hall today.
I wonder if his youngest son might become a scapegoat if Sarutobi Hiruzen runs away.
The Hokage's secretary was still telling the whole story of White Fang's suicide, impartially.
Kakashi sat aside and watched this scene calmly, as if it happened just yesterday.
He saw his weary-looking father and the bustling Konoha Village through time and space, but this time he was communicating with the past as the Hokage who surpassed his father.
"Sometimes the other choice is the right one, Father."
The broken White Fang dagger was just casually placed on the table, and there was no need to worship it anymore.
Perhaps rebirth is White Fang's ultimate destiny.
In front of everyone, the fifth generation calmly reconciled with the past, and the way of reconciliation was to send the participants to the Pure Land to apologize to their father.
After all the charges were read out, a public trial was held and the question was, "Do you admit it?"
The two elders naturally understood that this was their last chance, and they were prepared to loudly appeal to the villagers of Konoha not to believe them.
From the beginning of the coup, this has been a despicable conspiracy and a struggle for power.
Most of them are fabricated, but a small number of them are willing to repay in full or double the amount for the financial mistakes they have made.
As for the more serious incident, it was done by Sarutobi Hiruzen. Their relationship was not that good.
I wanted to say that he was in cahoots with Hiruzen and Danzo, but there was another person right next to them, so I quickly changed my tone.
Anyway, I agree that it is not fatal, but the serious one is that the damage is shared by four people, and the even more serious one is the stubbornness of the rebellious ninja.
It’s a pity that these two people actually listened to every piece of evidence carefully, worthy of being high-ranking officials who were once good at using power.
While he was talking nonstop, Danzo suddenly spoke.
"I don't agree with what you just said."
Utane and Koharu are in high spirits. Danzo is going to fight back!
The ninjas also perked up, feeling that things were going to get better.
The best arrangement for a public trial should be to silence the other party, and then execute him directly after reading out the evidence of his crime. This will have a great deterrent effect.
If we have to hold a public trial and encounter shameless people who will keep talking nonsense, it will be difficult to achieve the effect that Hokage wants.
Now, no one knows what will happen when Danzo makes his dying counterattack.
"In fact, in Konoha's 27th year..."
"In the 33rd year of Konoha, Utane Koharu... In the 35th year, Mitomon En..."
"In 36 years, Sarutobi Hiruzen and I..."
Chapter 121 Peace Mission
In front of all the villagers, he began to add content that no longer had definite evidence.
They even randomly fabricated some crimes that were hated by God and man and threw them onto the four people, highlighting their lawlessness.
The things that the first three generations of Hokage led them to accomplish are too numerous to list.
Danzo said that only if they and Konoha were irreconcilable and only if they became extremely evil people, could Hiruzen survive safely.
This was what the Konoha man needed.
"Danzo, are you...are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy, and neither are you. The crazy one is Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, the man that Tobirama-sensei misjudged."
He had done so many bad things but he spoke so openly about it. This contrast made the villagers who did not know Elder Danzo feel that this criminal had gained enlightenment before his death.
Only those who understand what kind of ninja the Root boss is can understand how unusual this matter is.
He did not fight back before his death, nor did he make big speeches. Instead, he frankly admitted the crime and even accused the two elders and the defected Sarutobi Hiruzen, making the characterization of the public trial completely perfect.
……
The methods of the Hokage are truly unfathomable, and everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
It’s better to be obedient, otherwise even someone like Danzo can be transformed into this.
The farce finally reached its climax.
Amid the people's shouts of "hang them, kill them", the three men were dragged to the gallows.
Looking at the tall shelf, Danzo didn't show any fear. He was really the kind of person who was not afraid of death.
Even though he didn't become Hokage, at least someone told him how to become Hokage at the last moment of his life, so... there was a result.
However, the two elders were a little bit unbearable. It was obvious that they could not achieve the Will of Fire nor see through life and death.
When the three bodies were hung there, the villagers cheered. It was a great relief to see a high-ranking official being executed.
After that, the senior members of the elders' families were dragged out one by one. No one who had committed a serious crime could escape, and eradicating all evil was not just talk.
With the fall of the Elders, the traces left by the Third Generation in the hearts of the Konoha villagers were completely covered up.
The image of the Fifth Hokage was established in the hearts of the common people.
When the noise died down, only the tall gallows remained.
"Just keep this shelf. If anyone hurts Konoha in the future, go up there and take action."
Kakashi left these words and went home, giving himself half a day off today.
It's time to place my father's spirit tablet in the memorial.
From then on, the few obstacles encountered during the reform disappeared immediately and everyone became very kind.
He vigorously spread the will of the heart fire and had no complaints about education reform.
In the kingdom of water.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was handling official business in the Mizukage's office, and Yagura was assisting in passing documents like a secretary.
"Konoha held a public trial. Shimura Danzo, Utane Koharu, and Mito Kado En were all hanged."
"Before he died, Danzo went crazy and exposed and fabricated a lot of negative information about you. It seems that it will be difficult for you to return to Konoha."
"The betrayal outside the village will destroy your last bit of popularity even if he dies... Alas... I wish I had brought Danzo with me."
Black Zetsu observed Sarutobi Hiruzen's every move. This old Hokage was different from Obito in that he was very cunning and it was difficult to gain his 100% trust.
"Danzo is obsessed with the position of Hokage, but his methods are simple and crude. It is useless to bring him here."
"It's not a bad thing to die in Konoha Village. Kakashi will not let him go, just like he won't let me go."
"As for the villagers' recognition... I can win their hearts and minds as long as I take back the village with the same force."
I casually picked up a glass of water and sprinkled it on the ground, as a toast to my friends.
'You are damned, and so am I.'
Hiruzen's expression changed from calm to slightly agitated and then back to calm, and his performance from expression to emotion was very consistent with his character.
In fact, deep down, I still approve of the ending of my old friends.
Doing this is the best option for Konoha. It can unite people, heal old illnesses, and reshape the atmosphere.
The Fifth Hokage was a man of means and principles.
Being able to get a chance to go through the process of a public trial is already a good ending, better than dying in a dark and deserted dungeon.
The fact that Danzo could turn hostile and say these words at the public trial was enough to show the terrible methods of the man who talked to him about the defection.
Black Zetsu was quite satisfied with Hiruzen's performance and believed that there would be no problem with a breakup to this extent.
That guy Obito kept talking nonsense all day long, which made Him a little suspicious.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was indeed in a bad mood at this time, so he began to exert pressure without hiding it.
"Has the Yuan Master been found?"
"Not yet. Maybe it's not in the Water Kingdom."
“No, he is definitely there. It is precisely because of his existence that the middle layer of the Hidden Mist Village has not collapsed yet.
The fact that you haven't shown up yet may be because you've started to doubt the Fourth Mizukage. Your previous methods were too crude."
