Chapter 256 The truth about Sarutobi’s death!
If looks could kill, the patriarchs of the major ninja clans would have stabbed Sarutobi Hiruzen to death countless times already.

Because the other party is so inhuman.

All kinds of promises were made to them when they were asked to hand over their private armies and family assets.

Now that they were skipped when it was time to divide the cake, how could they not be angry?

Although they are loyal to Konoha, it does not mean that they will not be angry even if a large number of clan members are killed or injured, and their family assets are exhausted without getting any rewards.

"If a peace agreement cannot be reached as soon as possible, more people will die if the Ninja World War continues, so no matter how big the blame is, I will take it all, and then I will hand over the position of Hokage, please! !"

Sarutobi Hiruzen bowed and apologized with a sincere tone and a solemn expression.

The eyes of the major ninja clan leaders became even colder.

After all, the Hokage has apologized so righteously. If they continue to insist on the peace agreement, they may be accused of "destroying the peace."

The thing is, this is not what you, Sarutobi Hiruzen, said when you were trying to trick us into contributing our manpower.

Being set up!
The Third Hokage was clearly going to abdicate after the Ninja World War, but now he was using what was about to happen to atone for breaking his previous promise.

So shameless.

No wonder Orochimaru was able to kill the Hokage alone in the center of Konoha unhindered during the future Chunin Exams.

It was completely a tacit agreement among the major ninja clans that they ignored it.

Didn't you see that after the Third Hokage died, all the major ninja clans took action immediately and easily expelled Orochimaru and the Sand Ninja?

Even Jiraiya had arrived at the scene a long time ago, but he just watched his teacher die, and the water was really deep.

In any case, Sarutobi Hiruzen's move was truly brilliant.

He had to give an explanation to all the major ninja clans by using the position of Hokage that he was going to lose anyway.

Weakening these ninja clans is also a disguised way of enhancing the Hokage's voice, which is a complete win-win.

Of course, playing like this naturally made his reputation among the major ninja clans not very good.

But it didn't matter, he was about to step down as Hokage, and he certainly didn't care as much about his reputation as before.

“This is a peace agreement!”

Mitomon En took out the agreement that had been reached and circulated it around.

Everyone who finished watching it passed it to others in silence and calmness.

As for those who are not sitting at the conference table but sitting against the wall, they are certainly not qualified to see this thing.

at last.

When the item was passed to Tang Ping, he looked at the scroll in his hand curiously.

The agreement between ninjas is certainly not as complicated as that between countries. It is completely simple and clear.

In general.

That is, the Kumogakure and Iwagakure acknowledging Konoha as the victorious party, and symbolically paying compensation as the price for their active invasion, and then everything returns to the time before the Ninja World War.

Yes, after reading this agreement, Dohei really admires Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Because he dared to agree to such an agreement, was he afraid that the position of Hokage would become too comfortable?

The village had suffered such a heavy loss that it was now expecting compensation to make up for it.

But you got a truce like this?

What about the dead ninjas and lost supplies?

So, it’s no wonder that everyone is silent.

If there weren't so many powerful people present at the scene, some people might have thought that their Hokage had been caught in an illusion by the two major ninja villages.

This agreement clearly makes all their sacrifices in vain.

Wait until everyone has read the agreement.

Bah! !

Someone slammed the table and stood up.

Countless eyes turned to each other, wanting to know who was so brave.

"No, Hiruzen, I don't agree to this agreement!"

Danzo's face showed that he didn't want to accept it.

Yes, he was indeed ambitious for the position of Hokage, but he had never really thought of being weak towards the outside world.

He is the militant faction in the village and there is no way he will compromise.

In his opinion, as the victor of this Ninja World War, Konoha must get enough compensation from the loser to make up for its losses.

Otherwise, if you lose, you will suffer heavy losses, and if you win, you will suffer heavy losses, so wouldn’t it be a waste of your win?

I can only say that there is a reason why the Root has so many crazy fans. At least in terms of external affairs, Danzo is really tough.

"Danzo, for the sake of peace, we have no choice but to give in!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen could only appease Danzo, and because he thought that Danzo would not agree, he did not let him know during the negotiation. He naturally knew what the consequences would be if he did so.

But one thing is even clearer.

Konoha can't fight any longer.

If the conditions offered are too excessive, neither the Rock Ninja nor the Cloud Ninja will accept them, and the war will break out again.

Even though he knew that Konoha might not be the first to collapse in the end, he was unwilling to take the gamble.

All I can say is that both of them are right in their own positions.

"I don't think anyone is willing to accept this agreement!"

Danzo responded through gritted teeth.

Even though he is the leader of the root tribe and dares to confront the other party in private, this is a public place and the pressure he is under can be imagined.

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen put his hands on the table and made a classic remark in a domineering manner, directly blocking Danzo from saying anything else.

Yes, Shadow reigns supreme in the village.

So no matter how many reasons Danzo had or how reasonable his words were, he could not disobey the orders of the Kage.

Perhaps, this is why he is so obsessed with the position of Hokage.

He dreams of becoming the Hokage and saying to his best friend, "Huruzen, I am the Hokage."

Rather than speaking to Danzo, this sentence was more directed to all the major ninja clans present.

No matter how dissatisfied and angry they were, since the Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen had made the decision, they could only obey.

All it can be said is that from this moment on, he, the Third Hokage, became alienated from all the major ninja clans.

No wonder Minato Namikaze was allowed to take power.

If Orochimaru really comes to power, the Hokage family will definitely be in trouble, especially the family behind F4.

Orochimaru doesn't care about feelings, he only cares about contribution and ability.

Next, none of the major ninja clans spoke, which was considered to express their anger and dissatisfaction.

"After reaching a peace agreement with the Sand and Mist Ninjas, I will step down as Hokage!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen ended the meeting with these words.

Generally speaking, there were only two things discussed in this meeting, namely the peace agreement and the Hokage election.

In the eyes of the major ninja clans, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not a human being and betrayed them.

But from other people's perspective, Sarutobi Hiruzen would rather give up the position of Hokage in order to suppress the ninja clan.

It is truly worthy of the title "Will of Fire".

If you don't know the truth about the Sarutobi clan.

Gan!
Usually the ones who make the most money are a few advisory elders and the Sarutobi clan.

But during the Ninja World War, the forces of these ninja clans' private armies all acted as the last reserve under the pretext of "protecting Konoha".

Even if ordinary ninjas, villagers, and smaller ninja clans didn't know about this, the larger ninja clans certainly knew about it.

The great ninja clans would be dissatisfied and angry, thinking that Sarutobi Hiruzen had betrayed them, not only because the promised benefits had vanished, but also because of his "double standard" treatment.

After leaving the Hokage Building.

"really interesting!"

Tang Ping thought back on this meeting and felt that it was really interesting.

After watching Sarutobi Hiruzen trick the major ninja clans, I finally understood why he, as the Hokage, died so hastily in the future Chunin Exam.

“It’s really interesting!”

Hinata Cangyue also nodded.

Yeah, nothing could be more ridiculous and funnier than this.

To her, it didn't matter what this dark and desperate village became.

"It will definitely be more interesting next time!"

Dou Ping knew that today was just the appetizer, and there would definitely be more things happening in the future for the Hokage election, and that would be when interesting things would emerge one after another.

The current Orochimaru is not yet in the state of giving up everything to study ninjutsu.

At this moment, he really wanted to sit on the throne of Hokage and turn into the wind to push the windmill of Konoha.

Knowing what was going to happen in the village, Tang Ping naturally would not rush back.

Anyway, I will be doing research if I go back, so I might as well stay in Konoha to do research and have some fun at the same time.
