Just as Hiashi was about to call Yuuki over.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's aura also reached its peak; he finally broke through the last sealed acupoint on his body.
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not make a move at this time. After the seal was released, Hiruzen Sarutobi also began to rein in his aura.
"Hiashi, do you really want to kill me?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face showed a hint of guilt at this moment, but more than that, it was confusion as he asked Hiashi this question.
Hiashi knew that he and the Hyuga Clan alone had no way to deal with Hiruzen Sarutobi, and this was only when Hiruzen Sarutobi had not retaliated.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi had wanted to kill him and the others from the start, it should have been very easy.
If he was powerless in action, he would make up for it with words, even if it seemed extremely weak and pale.
"That's right, I really wish you would die immediately. Not just me, many people in Konoha want you to die. As I said at the beginning, everything I do is for Konoha!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately responded.
"No, Hiashi, you are only seeking revenge. You are merely driven by the hatred in your heart, and you have been exploited."
Regarding Hiashi's statement, Hiruzen Sarutobi was noncommittal. After refuting it, he continued.
"I am very sorry about Hizashi's matter, but I absolutely do not regret it, Hiashi. You can hate me, but at that time, I was the Hokage, and I had to be responsible for Konoha!"
"But you are not the Hokage now, Advisor Hiruzen. Put away that act of yours!"
A voice directly responded to Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, and then Yuuki arrived here with several people behind him.
After learning that Hiashi's plan had failed, Yuuki, without another word, brought people to the Council Hall.
"Hokage-sama!"
Hiashi respectfully greeted Yuuki, then stood behind Yuuki.
Uchiha Tomoki, you're finally here!
Seeing Yuuki appear, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that the main event of the night was about to begin, but he felt little fear.
Hiruzen Sarutobi knew clearly that Yuuki cared more about superficial things than he did. Perhaps he would be humiliated, but Yuuki would not find a reason to kill him!
It had to be said that Hiruzen Sarutobi's guess was indeed correct.
Yuuki had no grudge against him and indeed could not find a legitimate reason to kill him openly.
If one were to look for flaws, there would certainly be many, whether it was using the Village to develop his own clan or suppressing those who were not aligned with him.
If it really came down to it, he certainly couldn't clear his name.
However, Yuuki did not intend to do that. Firstly, it would tarnish the position of Hokage. Secondly, Yuuki also planned to do those very things.
Whether it was using the Village to develop his clan or suppressing those who were not aligned with him.
The only difference was that Yuuki would do it more discreetly and find a balance within it so that those who could see through it would not have too many objections.
But who said the greatest punishment for a person was to kill him?
What Hiruzen Sarutobi was most proud of and cared about most was his contributions to Konoha during his time as Hokage, and Yuuki wanted to completely negate that!
"Elder Hiashi just said something true: there are far too many people who want you dead, Advisor Hiruzen."
Then Yuuki asked one person behind him.
"Do you want Advisor Hiruzen to die?"
This was an ordinary middle-aged man who had no idea what to do after being summoned by Yuuki.
Until now, after Yuuki asked, he felt a little excited, but he still stammered and dared not speak.
Yuuki showed a brilliant smile and said softly.
"Don't be afraid. It doesn't matter what you say. I will protect you with my life, I swear by the name of the Hokage!"
Perhaps it was Yuuki's words, or perhaps Yuuki's smile, that gave the middle-aged man courage, and he said in a low voice.
"Hokage-sama, if possible, I really hope he dies!"
Yuuki maintained his smile and asked again.
"Why?"
The middle-aged man seemed to recall sad memories, tearfully recounting how his excellent child had gone to the Battlefield with Hiruzen Sarutobi and never returned.
Then Yuuki asked an old man, a child, a woman, and so on, all behind him.
Without exception, they all wanted Hiruzen Sarutobi to die.
Finally, Yuuki turned and asked again.
"Jonin Kakashi, what about you?"
Kakashi, who was skilled at hiding his emotions, perhaps influenced by the people before him, finally spoke his true feelings.
"Hokage-sama, I also want that!"
With each person who answered Yuuki's question, the despair on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face deepened by a fraction.
Among these people were civilians, Ninja, children, and elders, of different ages and different statuses.
The only thing they had in common was that they were all Konoha people and all wanted Hiruzen Sarutobi to die.
Finally, Yuuki asked.
"If our Advisor Sarutobi had died in that war three years ago, would you have thanked him for his sacrifice for Konoha?"
The people behind Yuuki answered in a cacophony.
"No, I will never thank him!"
"How is that possible? He deserved to die!"
"I'd buy a good bottle of wine to celebrate!"
"...."
