"Then let me tell you..."

The people who came to the meeting were whispering to each other, and under the guidance of someone with ulterior motives, the focus of their praises quickly shifted from Sarutobi Hiruzen to Orochimaru.

It is obvious that this person was intentionally arranged by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and his purpose is self-evident.

Just bringing up the issue of the new Will of Fire is not enough to force the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze to step down.

This only shows that there are minor problems in Minato Namikaze's governing policies. After correction, Minato Namikaze is still the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.

But if there is something wrong with Minato Namikaze's character...

That's not just a matter of changing the governing policy; that means being forced to abdicate!

If you want to prove that Minato Namikaze has character issues, nothing can be more convincing than the fact that Minato Namikaze supported Orochimaru's human experiments.

"Be quiet."

Feeling that the foreshadowing was almost complete, Sarutobi Hiruzen then spoke again to remind everyone, causing everyone present to fall silent at the same time.

"I just heard someone say... that human experiments are being conducted in the village?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned deeply, and the anger in his words was easily heard, "This is simply nonsense!"

"Whether it's voluntary or forced, human experiments must be stopped, otherwise the village will fall into a dark moment of panic!"

"Yes, Sandaime-sama Hokage."

As soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, someone jumped out to express his support, "Human experimentation is the most evil experiment in the world. Whether it is good or bad, we should put an end to it."

"That's true." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, then a sad look appeared on his face, "But I heard... the human experiment was led by the Yondaime and implemented by Orochimaru... I..."

"Ugh!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed heavily, his face full of self-blame, "It's all my fault. There was something wrong with the way I taught Orochimaru, and there was also something wrong with my vision when I chose the candidate for Hokage."

"I never thought that the Fourth Hokage would actually allow such an evil thing to happen in the village. This is simply throwing away the moral principles of mankind!"

"Sandaime Hokage, please help. If this trend continues, Konoha's future will be in jeopardy!"

"Yes, Sandaime-sama Hokage. The Yondaime's mind is too dark. He has failed our expectations."

"Sandaime Hokage, Konoha can only move towards peace and light in your hands!"

"Sandaime Hokage, it's time for you to take action!"

"Yes! Get the Yondaime to step down!"

"Let the Yondaime step down!"

"Let the Yondaime step down!"

"Let the Yondaime step down!"

After a lot of accusations, everyone attending the meeting quickly reached a consensus that Minato Namikaze became the first target of attack.

"This……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that people's hearts could be used, but no matter how ecstatic he was in his heart, he still showed a hesitant expression on his face.

"I understand everyone's feelings, but the Fourth Hokage is now fully grown, so this matter won't be so easy to succeed."

"And even if it succeeds, the process will inevitably be accompanied by bloodshed, which will not benefit the village or anyone else!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words were so sincere that after a brief silence, everyone present burst into excitement again!

"Sandaime Hokage, please stand up again for the future of the village!"

"Stand up again!"

"Sandaime-sama Hokage, please step up again!"

"Sandaime-sama Hokage, please step up again!"

Looking at the thunderous cheers of the crowd below, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt relieved and couldn't help but let a sincere smile appear on his face.

He raised his hand and said, "Everyone, please be quiet."

"I know that everyone thinks there is a problem with the fourth generation, not only in terms of governance policy, but also in terms of character."

"But everyone should understand that even if I am willing to stand up and correct the bad habits in the village, the process will inevitably be accompanied by blood and fire."

"For the sake of everyone's lives and future prospects, I think it's best to wait a little longer."

"But..." Someone in the audience stretched his neck and spoke.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not give the man a chance to continue speaking, "No buts!"

"Everyone makes mistakes, including the Yondaime, so please don't mention the idea of ​​launching a coup without authorization."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said righteously, "Starting a coup without authorization is irresponsible to Konoha, and it is also irresponsible to you and me."

"So I plan to go and advise the Fourth Hokage first. If he can admit his mistakes and correct them, that would be great. If not..."

"Then let's take a long-term view and see how to deal with it in the end."

It can be said that Sarutobi Hiruzen has taken all the good things and has been all the good guys, but these are no longer the focus of everyone's attention.

They are now fully devoted to supporting Sarutobi Hiruzen, and their attitude towards Namikaze Minato has changed from their previous dislike to today's indignation and disgust.

Little did they know that this was the main reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen summoned everyone to the meeting.

It is necessary to unite all those who are dissatisfied with Minato Namikaze in order for Sarutobi Hiruzen's next action to be carried out smoothly.

"Okay, everyone, go away. This meeting ends here."

Soon, Sarutobi Hiruzen announced the end of the meeting. He was still a little afraid that if it continued for too long, it would cause some unnecessary trouble.

Everyone present was somewhat reluctant, but since Sarutobi Hiruzen had spoken, they naturally had no reason not to obey.

When the crowd gradually dispersed, Sarutobi Hiruzen quietly found a seat and slowly sat down.

He took off the long pipe from his waist, pinched a handful of tobacco from the small cloth bag and put it into the pipe to compact it.

A flame lit up at his fingertips, and he lit the tobacco and took a long puff.

"call……"

White smoke filled the air, enveloping Sarutobi Hiruzen, making it impossible to see his specific expression at the moment.

Swish.

A slight sound was heard, but Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't even turn his head, still enjoying the brief pleasure that the tobacco brought him.

"Lei Tong, how is it going?"

After taking two more puffs, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked the man who was kneeling on one knee behind him.

"Sandaime-sama, the ANBU's intelligence ninja has been processed."

"No clues left behind, right?"

"Please rest assured, Sandaime-sama. Aoba and I will take action and will definitely not let anyone find out."

"Well, I'm still very confident in the work of the two of you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly, holding his pipe in his hand, he turned around and looked at Beizu Leidun and Yamashiro Aoba, "Have you contacted our Akatsuki organization and investigated their background?"

"Sandaime Hokage, after our investigation, we found that Akatsuki is a mercenary organization in the Land of Rain. Its leader is codenamed Zero, and most of its members are rebellious ninjas from other villages."

"Their purpose is simple: money."

"They will do anything for their employer as long as the money is there."

Listening to the similar reports, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly, obviously considering the pros and cons of some things.

"I always feel that Akatsuki's purpose is not simple..."

"A powerful person, even a traitor ninja who betrayed the village, would not be able to use money as a bond to unite the leaders of the Akatsuki organization."

"The rebel ninjas are a group of unruly and bloodthirsty ninjas..."

"Although there are many suspicious aspects, I have no choice so far."

After taking two long puffs of his cigarette, Sarutobi Hiruzen weighed the pros and cons and made a decision, "Lei Tong, contact the leader of the Akatsuki organization, Zero, and tell him that I agree to hire them."

"Yes, Sandaime-sama Hokage!"

Bingzu Leitong and Yamashiro Aoba took the order and left. At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was the only one left in the entire courtyard.

Looking up at the full moon in the sky, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed.

"Watergate……"

"Don't blame me, blame yourself."

"You chose to trust someone you shouldn't have trusted, and you also chose a path you shouldn't have chosen!"

Click!

Sarutobi Hiruzen broke the long pipe in the middle, threw it away, and turned into his study.

As the study door was closed, the light inside stretched Sarutobi Hiruzen's figure very, very long...

A new round of undercurrent is about to begin!

Chapter 286: Minato Namikaze basically knows the truth about the ninja world.

"teacher."

Hatake Akira appeared silently in the Hokage's office, and the Rinnegan in his eyes flashed.

"Ming...why are you here?"

Namikaze Minato, who was handling government affairs, suddenly looked up with a look of disbelief on his face, "How did you get in?"

"The spatial ability of my eyes."

Hatake Akira did not hide anything. "Teacher, I am just very weak now, but I am not useless."

"Too."

Namikaze Minato nodded, "Perhaps only those who know your true situation will understand how terrifying you are now."

"The teacher is so complimentary."

Hatake Akira said modestly, and with a wave of his hand, a white humanoid creature fell out from the space barrier.
