"All right, then I will announce the outcome of this matter!"
After Sarutobi Hiruzen cleared his throat, the once chaotic scene became quiet. In this political struggle, Shimura Danzo can be said to have suffered a miserable defeat, while the Hokage faction can be said to have won a great victory.
After today, I am afraid that all families need to carefully examine their relationship with the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. This man who is in his prime and has played politics to the pinnacle is obviously not something they can control.
The days of the aristocratic families may not be easy in the future. When they think of this, everyone can't help but miss the Konoha during the time of the Senju brothers. At that time, Konoha and their families had a very high voice. Instead of being like now, everything is decided by Sarutobi Hiruzen alone, and under normal circumstances they don't even have the opportunity to interrupt.
The ruling power and influence of the aristocratic families in Konoha has actually always been a nearly unsolvable problem. To some extent, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who can be regarded as a civilian, has always wanted to solve this problem, but it is too difficult.
The best way is still to divide, suppress, and discuss it later.
""
The first person that Sarutobi Hiruzen targeted was the Hyuga clan. Although he knew that the collusion with Shimura Danzo was probably done by the branch family, he wanted to use it as a warning to the Hyuga clan.
""I'm here."
Hinata Hitoshi sighed softly in his heart, and Hinata Kiyomi standing behind him had dull eyes, and it seemed that he had not yet recovered from the reality of Danzo's miserable defeat.
"Hyuga Kiyokawa, the son of Hyuga Kiyorin, acted on his own and injured Senju Nawaki, who was also a Konoha ninja. He should have been punished for treason, but considering that the Hyuga clan didn't know much about the matter, he was given a lighter punishment.——"
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly changed the subject
"Although it is said to be lenient, necessary punishment is still inevitable. The head of the branch family, Hyuga Kiyomi, should stop doing this. Choose a new one. I heard that you have two sons. According to the rules of your Hyuga family, the second son should be incorporated into the branch family."
"That's right." Hinata Hitoshi said respectfully.
"Then let your second son named Hizashi take over as the clan leader. Although he is still young, it is harmless after all."
After listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Hinata Seirin felt his eyes were full of confusion. His position as the head of the branch clan was taken away so easily?
And it was taken away by a child who was still wet behind the ears?
If it weren't for the high mental strength of the Hyuga clan, I'm afraid Hinata Seirin would have fainted directly. Over the years, he has suppressed dissidents and ganged up on dissidents in the branch clan. It can be said that he has done all kinds of evil. If he is taken away from the position of clan leader now, his future will definitely not be easy!
Hinata Seirin felt dazed when he thought of this. Hinata Kiyokawa joined the root at his suggestion. He originally thought that he could grow quickly and accumulate more strength for himself. He didn't expect that he would end up like this.
And all this was just because he provoked the boy who was only eleven or twelve years old on the opposite side.
"There is also a fine of 50 million taels of silver. Do you have any objection?"
""No."
Hyuga Hitoshi smiled bitterly. Sarutobi Hiruzen's action could be said to have set a precedent, that is, the Hokage could control the replacement of the head of the Hyuga branch family. Once this matter set a precedent, there would be a precedent to follow in the future.
Although the amount of a fine of 50 million taels seemed a lot, it was barely acceptable to the Hyuga family.
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked him if he had any objections just out of courtesy. If he really dared to have any objections, he would be ignorant of what was good for him.
"Okay, so the Aburame clan and the Kurama clan......"
As if he had already prepared a plan in his mind, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly announced the punishment decisions for several large families. Some were fined silver, and some families' territories were directly moved to the edge of Konoha - the Aburame clan.
It can be said that these large families with close ties to Shimura Danzo suffered heavy losses. Even those families who flirted with him still suffered heavy losses.
"Finally, regarding the punishment for Hokage's assistant Danzo Shimura."
After wasting time, Shen Qiu finally waited for the main event. He also put away the cynical expression on his face. Now is the real punishment stage. Shimura Danzo has too much power.
Every ninja of the Root can be said to be at the elite jonin level. Every year, a considerable number of geniuses and top students graduating from the Ninja School will be poached by Shimura Danzo.
And the capabilities of the Root are far more than that.
In addition to the direct members of the Root, Danzo also recruited a considerable number of wandering ninjas to serve as peripheral members of the Root. At the same time, the Root also has its own complete intelligence department, interrogation department, and so on.
To a certain extent, the current Root is even much stronger than the Anbu. Danzo can get first-hand information on any disturbance in the major countries.
Even faster than Sarutobi Hiruzen. Sarutobi Hiruzen himself noticed the growing and powerful Root, but he could do nothing about it. Thirteen years ago, he returned to Konoha Village with the last will of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, and was questioned a lot when he was about to succeed the Hokage.
"Why not live and die together with the Second Hokage?"
"Why would the Second Hokage choose an ordinary ninja who didn't even have a bloodline limit to be the successor Hokage?"
"You said that the Second Hokage chose you to be the Hokage, so why don't you show us the evidence? Otherwise, how can you prove it?"
Rumors like these spread like wildfire in the Konoha Ninja Village, and people vented all their anger over the death of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, on him.
Therefore, he needed an armed force that could handle some of the"dirty things" for him.
The Root was born.
Some people said that the birth of the Root was essentially a reflection of Sarutobi Hiruzen's inability, because he could not solve those things in the dark, so he chose to let others take on the responsibility.
In fact, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was born a civilian, had no backers, and his only backer, Senju Tobirama, was dead. He had to seek help from others, and Danzo, who had grown up with him and had been a classmate and comrade-in-arms for more than ten years, was more suitable.
But now that period of time has passed, his control over Konoha is more stable, but the power of the Root is still growing. He needs the Root, but he does not need such a powerful Root that will threaten his rule.
"I hereby announce that Shimura Danzo is dismissed from his position as Hokage's assistant, and......"
