LRAB Chapter 349 Expulsion
Chapter 349 Expulsion
Hiruzen Sarutobi's team was stunned; they had never even dreamed of such a move.
"Uchiha Chiyo, Tsunade, you have no right to do this!"
Jiraiya was extremely anxious.
The leaf is clearly about to split apart.
If the Sarutobi, Utatane, Mitomon, Shimura, and other clans were all expelled from Konoha, Konoha's strength would plummet.
In addition to these numerous ANBU members, Tsunade also needs to expel them.
If this split occurs, Konoha will be attacked directly by people from other villages.
Tsunade glared at Jiraiya and said, "Konoha was founded by my grandfather, why don't I have the right to claim it!?"
“If you don’t want to be expelled, you must abide by the rules of Konoha Village.”
Chiyo added insult to injury: "Now you can choose for yourselves. If you choose Hiruzen Sarutobi, all of you will lose the right to live in Konoha."
"If you choose us and join my ranks, your positions in Konoha will remain unchanged, and your past actions will be forgiven."
"If none of them are chosen..."
Chiyo stared coldly at Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group: "Those are Konoha rogue ninja."
As he spoke, he beckoned to Fugaku behind him with his finger.
A signal flare was launched into the sky from Fugaku.
The people on Hiruzen Sarutobi's side stirred for a moment, and then they saw a large number of Uchiha experts appear nearby with their men.
This group of Uchiha were the three-tomoe powerhouses who had been summoned back by Senyo.
They were all fully armed, clearly indicating that they had come prepared.
Itachi quickly came to stand beside Chiyo.
Chiyo's meaning is simple: either get out of Konoha or be killed here.
When Hiruzen Sarutobi saw this situation, he merely frowned slightly, seemingly unsurprised to encounter such a predicament.
Koharu looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with some surprise.
Because Hiruzen Sarutobi had planned to leave Konoha before, but not in this way of being expelled.
There were many people in the Dark Division, and some of them showed hesitation on their faces.
After all, once they leave Konoha, they are nothing.
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke up.
"I have worked hard in Konoha for many years, but they have framed me because of their struggle for power. It is truly disheartening."
"If we stay in Konoha any longer, it's uncertain whether we'll even survive."
"My Sarutobi clan voluntarily withdraws from Konoha Village."
Even in such a situation, he never forgot to put on a show, for the wavering secret agents, and also for the villagers who might be there.
Jiraiya's face was also ashen at this moment. He looked at Tsunade, then at Senyo, and stood dejectedly next to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He knew that once Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, there would be no turning back.
Qian Yao glanced at the others: "What about you?"
Koharu Utatane snorted, "My Utatane clan will stand with the Sarutobi clan through thick and thin..."
"We, the Mitomon clan..."
"Our Shimura clan..."
The major clans that sided with Hiruzen Sarutobi all decided to withdraw from Konoha.
One of the elders, representing several small clans of a dozen or so people, returned to Qianyao's side.
Qianyao's gaze swept over the hesitant members of the Dark Guard:
"Think it over carefully. If you choose to go with Hiruzen Sarutobi, you need to consider whether he can support you."
To Qianyao's surprise, the hesitation on the faces of these secret agents faded after hearing these words.
They all stood directly behind the Third Hokage.
A hint of suspicion flashed in Qian Yao's eyes, but that wasn't the point right now.
"The Nine-Tails is the property of Konoha Village, even if your Sarutobi clan wants to withdraw."
“Sarutobi Seishuu, you cannot leave Konoha Village either.”
The people on Hiruzen Sarutobi's side all changed their expressions. In their opinion, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was their biggest trump card.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for them to give up.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression shifted, and he said in a deep voice:
"We can give you Sarutobi Stone Boat, but only after we leave Konoha."
Qianyao chuckled sinisterly, "You're dreaming. You extracted the Nine-Tails from Naruto, and you still expect me to believe you?"
"Sarutobi Sekishu, none of you are leaving unless you stay!"
Qianyao took a step forward, his chakra sweeping across the entire area like a storm.
At the same time, in addition to unleashing chakra, Chiyo once again canceled the clone that had been absorbing and refining Sage Chakra.
He entered immortal mode again.
Orange eyeshadow patterns appeared on Qianyao's face.
On Hiruzen Sarutobi's side, the pressure was even greater, and some of the elders who had some knowledge were already exclaiming in alarm.
"Such powerful chakra..."
"Sage Mode!?"
"Sage Mode of the Thousand Radiance Society!?"
Since the founding of Konoha, only two and a half people have mastered Sage Mode: the First Hokage and the Fourth Hokage.
Half of it is Jiraiya, because he needs the Toad Sage's help to enter Sage Mode.
Although it has a long battery life, its drawbacks are also obvious: the pre-launch animation is too long.
Sage Mode provides an immense boost to Ninja Body Illusion; Chiyo just killed over a hundred Anbu members in the Forest of Death.
They beat Jiraiya so badly he was left sprawled on the ground, and Shima almost died there.
Now it seems Qianyao has activated his immortal mode again.
Jiraiya and some of the Anbu who participated in the siege of Senyo were all trembling with fear.
It's only been a day since the fight, and even a normal person's chakra wouldn't be fully restored.
Qianyao is clearly at his peak.
Aside from fighting Jiraiya in the forest, Chiyo has never displayed his strength in public.
Now that Qianyao has unleashed his chakra and activated Sage Mode, the oppressive aura makes everyone feel incredibly heavy.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had heard Jiraiya report about it before, but his actual experience was another matter entirely.
He was actually wearing combat gear under his trench coat, but even in this situation, he was just as uncertain.
All three Uchiha members possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, along with Tsunade, Orochimaru, and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.
Hiruzen Sarutobi dared not fight.
He glanced at Shi Zhou, who gave him a reassuring look, meaning he could walk.
Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed, "Alright, then you can stay in Konoha, Ishizumi."
Sarutobi Seishu responded expressionlessly and then went to Qianyao's camp.
Itachi and Fugaku stood on either side of him, clearly indicating their intention to keep an eye on him.
Qianyao glanced at Sarutobi Seishu and thought it was interesting that Sarutobi Seishu actually had such a hidden seal technique.
Is this for helping Sarutobi Seishu escape later?
But that's fine too, it suits him perfectly.
Qianyao pretended not to see it, then sneered:
"Since you have been expelled from Konoha, all your real estate is off-limits, all your assets are confiscated, and you will be forced to leave the village with nothing."
"All members of your ninja clan are hereby ordered to leave Konoha within three days."
"If any civilians wish to remain in Konoha, they only need to pass our screening."
"If you change your surname again, Konoha won't make things difficult for unrelated people."
Chiyo's words were clearly aimed at the combat personnel, and Hiruzen Sarutobi was only concerned about the combat personnel.
As for whether the commoners should choose a surname or the status of being a Konoha villager, that's a matter of opinion.
Tsunade kept her eyes fixed on Hiruzen Sarutobi. Given her personality, she wouldn't be able to get over it without killing him.
But she also deeply loves Konoha. If she were to take action now, Konoha would be thrown into chaos, and the number of deaths would be enormous.
Chiyo reached out and patted Tsunade on the shoulder, giving her a look.
It means, don't take action in the village, proceed according to plan.
Tsunade then managed to suppress all her emotions.
The plan is to first uproot all the woodworms in Konoha Village.
She looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi's group with icy, murderous eyes. These people all had to die!
You idiot Jiraiya! You better not block my way! Otherwise, you'll die too!
Jiraiya saw the cold killing intent in Tsunade's eyes, and his face was full of bitterness, as if he had done something wrong.
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't bother with pleasantries, and the group quickly withdrew.
