"If I kill you, those things will also be ours!"
When they heard these words from Baiye, everyone in the room froze on the spot.
Mitokado Homura was the one involved, and he did not react for a long time.
"Ah... what?"
It was not just Mitokado Homura. Even Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo looked at each other. They did not expect that things could be played this way.
The two of them had not thought of this just now. They were even considering whether to let Mitokado Homura go.
It seemed they were indeed getting old. Their brains were no longer as flexible as the young people.
"Good, good, good!"
"This method is truly not bad!"
For a moment, the two of them could not help but praise Baiye. This terrified Mitokado Homura. He hurriedly tried to beg for mercy from Hiruzen and Danzo.
However, the two would not give him a chance to speak now. After all, a family that lacked two Consultants would definitely allow the Sarutobi Clan to grow stronger again.
Baiye did not even need to act. Two Anbu appeared instantly and sealed the mouth of Mitokado Homura.
Then, at the signal of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the two of them quickly cleaned the office. This included the dead Utatane Koharu and the captured Mitokado Homura.
Soon, the entire office was brand new again. It was as if the two Consultants had never appeared.
Seeing that the matter was handled, Baiye had no reason to stay here. The room was full of files that needed processing. Just looking at them gave him a headache.
'Looking at these files is too much trouble,' Baiye thought.
He greeted the Third Hokage and Danzo. Then, he took Izumi and left the Hokage building directly.
Watching Baiye head home, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo looked at each other. Their faces were full of helplessness. This grandson was good in every way, but his personality was truly not likable.
However, now was not the time to think about such things. They had just removed two Consultants. The families of these two Consultants were the main prize.
"Danzo, I will leave it to you."
"After all, it is not very convenient for the Anbu to act!"
Danzo naturally had no objections. His Root existed specifically to handle such matters.
"Leave it to me with confidence."
Soon, the entire Root began to move. Large groups of people quickly surrounded the families of the two Consultants.
As night gradually fell, a one-sided slaughter was about to begin. After tonight, these two families would no longer exist.
As for the supplies, Ninjutsu, and secret techniques of these two families, they were naturally all collected by the Third Hokage and Danzo. They used everything to supply their own families. This allowed the Sarutobi Clan and the Shimura Clan to grow stronger once again.
Although the actions of the Root were very fast and hidden, the disappearance of two families was not a small matter. News of the two clans soon spread. Every shinobi clan in Konoha received the information.
Inside the Ino-Shika-Cho clans, Nara Shikaku sighed with helplessness after hearing the news.
"Do what you should normally do."
"Do not think about investigating! Everything remains as it was!"
"I think you should understand."
Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Inoichi naturally understood the words of Nara Shikaku. They were firm supporters of the Hokage faction. As long as they did nothing out of line, they were the safest.
As for other small families, they might not even receive the news. Those who could receive it, like the Aburame Clan and the Inuzuka Clan, were also part of the Hokage faction. They would not make any reaction.
Every family understood in their hearts. As long as the Third Hokage remained in power, they could not have thoughts they should not have. What should be given to you will be given. If it is not given, you cannot steal it.
Compared to the other families, the Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan seemed much more excited.
Inside the Naka Shrine of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Fugaku and a group of elders became excited after reading the intelligence.
"This means that the positions of the two Consultants are now vacant!"
"Fugaku, this is our chance!"
"As long as we get a Consultant position, we will have a voice in the village!"
"Yes, it can definitely make the situation of our Uchiha Clan much better!"
The group of elders was excited. They constantly encouraged Fugaku. It was as if the Consultant positions were already in the pockets of the Uchiha Clan.
Even Fugaku, the Clan Head, thought the same way. As the number one clan in Konoha, how could they not even have a Consultant position?
Fugaku took the initiative to accept the suggestion. "I understand. Tomorrow, I will propose this to the Third Hokage."
"At the same time, let Uchiha Izumi help by saying some good words in front of Sarutobi Baiye."
"However, I do not wish to hear any discordant voices in the clan during this time!"
After speaking, his gaze swept over the elders. Seeing this, the elders all expressed their agreement. This was a major event for the Uchiha Clan. They could not afford to be careless.
The Hyuga Clan, which was also a Dojutsu clan, had the same thoughts as the Uchiha Clan. After getting the news, the elders of the Main House and the Branch House gathered together.
Compared to the situation of the Uchiha Clan, the Hyuga Clan was much more relaxed. The Hyuga Clan was relatively honest. However, this did not mean the Hokage had no issues with them.
Especially the system of the Main House and the Branch House. It seemed like a family system, but it had already escaped the control of the Hokage.
Because of this strange system, the Branch House was marked with the Caged Bird. The Main House would not go out to perform missions. The missions assigned by the Hokage were given to the Branch House.
Because of the Caged Bird, the Branch House followed the orders of the Main House rather than the orders of the Hokage. This resulted in the Hyuga Clan appearing honest while keeping all their power firmly in their own hands.
"What do you all think of this matter?"
"Should we take a hand in this Consultant position?"
As Hyuga Hiashi threw out the question, the elders immediately began to discuss it. Finally, they reached a unanimous decision to get involved.
Even if their Hyuga Clan did not fight for the Consultant position, other families would still fight for it.
