The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

Chapter 61 Rope Tree and Kato Break

After calming down Uzumaki Megumi, Uchiha Mitsunori returned to continue interrogating Sarutobi Hiruzen.

This once dignified Third Hokage, after being controlled by genjutsu, had empty eyes and was like a soulless puppet.

"Was Rope Tree's death related to you?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils were unfocused, but his voice was unusually clear.

"Because Tsunade didn't want to become Hokage, the Senju clan pinned their hopes on Nawaki. When he was 12 years old, he successfully became a Chunin, which already posed a threat to me."

"I knew Danzo had a very strong desire to become Hokage, so I deliberately discussed the Senju clan and Nawaki with him. Naturally, Danzo couldn't tolerate Nawaki. After Nawaki turned 12, I arranged for him to go on a mission to the border of Kumogakure and revealed this to Danzo. Danzo set up a trap specifically for Nawaki on their inevitable route, and Nawaki was blown to pieces by the explosive tag trap."

The surrounding Konoha residents instantly erupted in uproar.

"This is the real cause of Nawaki's death. No wonder he died so tragically even with Orochimaru protecting him. It was all the work of an inside traitor."

"Shimura Danzo deserves to die... Sarutobi Hiruzen deserves to die..."

Uchiha Mitsunori waved his hand, amplified his voice with chakra, and shouted, "Quiet! I need to continue the interrogation!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding noise instantly disappeared.

"Was Kato Dan's death also related to you?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were vacant as he mechanically replied, "Dan Kato is an elite Jonin. He knows an S-rank Spirit Transformation Technique and is a very dangerous person. Moreover, he is Tsunade's boyfriend and his ambition is to become Hokage, which already poses a great threat to me."

"As long as he marries Tsunade, he will gain the support of the Senju clan, so I gave his information to Danzo. I also sent him out on a mission, and Danzo assigned two Root members as his teammates. When Kato Dan used the Spirit Transformation Technique, his soul left his body and he lost consciousness, these two Root members took the opportunity to hollow out his internal organs."

"Another traitor has killed a strongman in the village. Hatake Sakuga did it, and so did Kato Dan."

"The Uchiha are right, these clans are a cancer in Konoha. From now on, we'll call 'Hiruzen Sarutobi, the King of Konoha's Cancers'!"

"That's right... Hiruzen Sarutobi, the king of Konoha's cancerous growths... Hiruzen Sarutobi, the king of Konoha's cancerous growths!"

Looking at the jubilant crowd, Uchiha Mitsunori felt no joy of victory. He recalled an old saying.

Is justice delayed still justice?

These truths should not have been hidden for so many years, and these lives should not have been lost so easily.

He turned to Uchiha Ryūhō beside him and said softly, "Ryūhō, you continue the interrogation. I'm going back to rest. Don't let them kill Hiruzen Sarutobi, or we'll have trouble explaining it to the Daimyo."

Uchiha Ryūka nodded, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "Mitsumine, what do you plan to do with the 200 billion ryo you got back from Hiruzen Sarutobi?"

Uchiha Mitsunori glanced at the surrounding crowd and raised his voice, saying, "First, the compensation for casualties in the Sunagakure battlefield is still 146.8 billion ryo. Pay this amount to the families of the injured and deceased first."

A burst of cheers and applause erupted from the crowd, and many families who had lost loved ones in the war wept.

He also saw a ninja who had lost his left arm, raising his right hand in salute to him.

"Secondly, the ninjas who have been on the battlefield haven't received their wages from last month. This batch of money is 30 billion taels, so we'll settle that portion with them as well."

More than 10,000 ninjas finally breathed a sigh of relief and raised their right hands in salute to him.

"Third, the remaining 23.2 billion ryo should be used as bonuses for the ninjas who retreated from the Sand Village battlefield!"

The casualty rate in the Sand Village battlefield was as high as 67.7%, which put them under immense pressure.

Upon returning to the village, they discovered that the ninjas from other battlefields who had followed the Uchiha had already received full compensation for their injuries and deaths.

They were the only ones who received 17% of the compensation for their injuries and deaths, so they always felt abandoned. Now they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"The Three Peaks of the Uchiha Clan... The Three Peaks of the Uchiha Clan... The Three Peaks of the Uchiha Clan!"

The Konoha ninjas around them kept calling out the name of Uchiha Mitsunori.

Uchiha Mitsumine smiled slightly and amplified his voice with chakra: "I just fought with Hiruzen Sarutobi, and I'm a little tired. I'll hand the interrogation over to Uchiha Ryūka. Everyone can continue listening; I'll be leaving now!"

After saying that, Uchiha Mitsunori used the Body Flicker Technique to leave the spot.

......

On the path below, several Uzumaki clan members were accompanying Uzumaki Megumi on her way to the Uchiha clan's territory.

With a light leap, the Body Flicker Technique stirred up a few fallen leaves in the breeze.

The next second, he appeared in front of Uzumaki Megumi, causing the Uzumaki clan members to tense up instantly.

"Huiyi, I need to go out for a bit."

Before Uzumaki Megumi could speak, Terumi Mei interrupted, asking, "Where are you going? Are you planning to go out and find women?"

It has to be said that sometimes a woman's intuition is very accurate, even though Mei Terumi is still a... big loli.

Uchiha Mitsunori's expression froze subtly for a moment.

He coughed lightly to cover up the fleeting embarrassment: "After Tsunade's younger brother Nawaki and her lover Kato Dan died, she left the village citing hemophobia as the reason, spending her days in taverns and gambling dens. Because of her bad luck with gambling, she has accumulated a lot of gambling debts, so she is now wandering around. The village asked me to bring Tsunade back, make her an advisor elder, and put her in charge of the medical department."

Chinatsu Uzumaki looked distressed: "I never imagined that Princess Tsunade's situation would be so tragic."

She sighed softly and said, "You should take her back to Konoha Village as soon as possible."

Whirlpool Megumi gazed at him quietly, her red eyes seeming to see right through him: "Mitsumine, when are you leaving?"

"I'll be leaving in a little while!" Uchiha Mitsunori replied briefly.

Huiyi's fingers gripped the hem of her clothes slightly.

Mei Terumi pursed her lips, seemingly wanting to say something, but was stopped by a look from Megumi Uzumaki.

"Be careful on the road, and come back soon!"

Huiyi Uzumaki only said eight words, but you could read more from her eyes.

Uchiha Mitsunori secretly appreciated Huiyi's gentleness and thoughtfulness, and nodded slightly.

Without saying goodbye, he used the Instantaneous Movement Technique and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.

Although Tsunade is currently a disheartened woman, he is confident that he can persuade her to return to Konoha.

The silhouette of Konoha Village receded further and further away.

Uchiha Mitsunori's mind, however, became increasingly active.

Hehehe... Tsunade... You can't escape my grasp... I need you to help me cultivate...
