Chapter 164: Chapter 166
At this point, Kirito's mouth curled into a sly smile as he began to shift the blame toward Danzo. "After your brother died, the Second Hokage's student, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and his high-ranking Konoha officials learned only one thing: suppression. Among them, Shimura Danzo stood out. To completely eliminate the Uchiha clan and remove the newly ascended Fourth Hokage, he waited until the Fourth's wife, Uzumaki Kushina, the second Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, gave birth before executing his plan."
"He released the Nine-Tails and used the Sharingan to control it, causing the Nine-Tails Rebellion. Half of Konoha was destroyed, countless villagers and shinobi were killed or injured, and he shifted all the blame onto the Uchiha clan."
"And our 'Third Hokage' was no saint either. After losing his position due to the defeat in the Third Ninja World War, he wanted to regain power. To do so, he turned a blind eye to Danzo's actions. Worse yet, to avoid suspicion, he even sent his wife to assist Kushina in delivering her child, knowing full well what would happen."
"Lies! You're spewing nonsense!" Sarutobi Hiruzen bellowed, his rage evident as his face flushed. The Hokage, renowned for his political maneuvering, found himself unable to refute Kirito's accusations, which turned his carefully curated reputation into ashes.
"How is this nonsense?" Kirito retorted, pulling out a photo of Danzo and Hiruzen caught in their infamous scandalous party. He tossed it casually in Hiruzen's direction.
Hiruzen froze, his heart sinking as he saw the incriminating evidence. It was damning.
"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!" he roared, forming hand seals in quick succession.
A massive torrent of flames surged forward, splitting into three streams as it closed in on Kirito. The sheer heat distorted the air, causing many to shield their faces from the intensity.
"Water Style: Water Curtain Tent!" Kirito murmured calmly, forming a simple hand seal with his right hand.
A towering wall of water materialized from thin air, separating the Four Purple Flame Formation into two sections. The fire clashed with the water, producing a cloud of steam that billowed out, but the water wall remained firm and unyielding.
"Resorting to violence, are we?" Kirito mocked. "Trying to kill me to silence the truth? Before you make such bold moves, ask yourself—are you even strong enough? If the First or Second Hokage in their prime were here, I wouldn't stand a chance. But you, the so-called 'strongest Hokage of all time,' are just a shadow of your former self. You're not even worth half of me."
"Enough, Sarutobi." Tobirama Senju's voice echoed through the battlefield, halting Hiruzen's next move. "You can't defeat him. His chakra is immense, far exceeding mine at my peak. He's second only to my elder brother."
The revelation stunned everyone, including Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen. Even the awakened audience and ninjas battling the Sound Ninja below were left speechless by the declaration.
Tobirama turned his gaze to Kirito, his expression serious. "Young man, what proof do you have? Danzo was my student, and I know his limits. Even if he had such ambitions, he wouldn't possess the means to control the Nine-Tails with a mere Sharingan."
Kirito smirked. "What if he had the cells of the First Hokage as well?"
With a casual flick of his hand, Kirito tossed another photograph toward Tobirama. Meanwhile, Ye Cang, receiving the signal, removed her disguise and unfurled a scroll. From the scroll, countless black-and-white photos emerged, scattering through the air like leaves.
To the audience and the awakened Konoha ninjas, the photos painted a damning picture. Among them were images of Danzo's right arm, grotesquely adorned with Sharingan, and his connection to the First Hokage's cells.
"What is this?" Tobirama muttered, his voice trembling as he examined one of the photos. His anger surged as he turned to Hiruzen. "Sarutobi, explain this!"
Even Hashirama, who had remained quiet thus far, furrowed his brows as he saw the evidence. "Sarutobi, how far have you fallen?" he asked solemnly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen could no longer form words. The evidence laid bare was irrefutable.
Emboldened by their reactions, Kirito continued. "It's simple. The masked man responsible for the Nine-Tails Rebellion wielded a Sharingan. After extensive investigation, I discovered the truth. Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen orchestrated this tragedy, prioritizing their selfish ambitions over the safety of Konoha."
"The Fourth Hokage and his wife paid the ultimate price. And after their deaths, Sarutobi Hiruzen reclaimed his position as Hokage. What followed was a systematic campaign to slander and suppress the Uchiha clan."
Kirito's voice grew colder. "The Uchiha clan was pushed to the edge, exiled to the outskirts of the village. Isolated and monitored, they were left with no choice but rebellion. Once again, Hiruzen played his favorite game: manipulation. He convinced Itachi Uchiha to massacre his own clan, with Danzo acting from the shadows."
The audience gasped collectively at the horrifying tale. Many turned their gazes toward Sarutobi Hiruzen with expressions of disbelief and disdain.
Kirito's tone shifted, laced with sarcasm. "And yet, the Sarutobi clan thrived. While others suffered during the wars, they grew stronger, bloating their numbers beyond even the peak of the Uchiha and Senju clans. Coincidence?"
He shook his head. "No. It's because the Sarutobi clan avoided every dangerous mission, hiding in the shadows like parasites while Konoha burned. Even during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, they conveniently vanished, leaving others to fight and die."
"If this continues, Konoha might as well rename itself Sarutobi Village."
Kirito's words hung heavy in the air as silence engulfed the arena. The audience, no longer under illusion, erupted into murmurs of outrage.
