Chapter 8 I will definitely give you justice!
Uchiha Chiba understood the concerns in the hearts of people like Fugaku and Shisui.
It was simply because he feared that his extreme actions would prematurely ignite the conflict between the Konoha leadership and the Uchiha clan, completely tearing off their relationship and even triggering a rebellion and civil war.
However, no one understood better than Chiba that for the Uchiha clan, it was actually a much better ending than the original one.
Therefore, he not only had no fear of such consequences, but even secretly and premeditatedly pushed for it.
"The Sarutobi clan..."
"What exactly happened?"
Uchiha Aoki and Uchiha Yamakaze, the two young men, exchanged a glance.
"this……"
"A ninja from the Sarutobi clan has killed someone..."
"And what's more, they killed civilians from the village..."
"Who did this?"
Uchiha Yamakaze said in a trembling voice, "It's the second son of the Sarutobi clan chief..."
"Sarutobi Jiro!"
Qianyu's heart stirred slightly.
The head of the Sarutobi clan should logically be Hiruzen Sarutobi, but since he is the Hokage of Konoha, he has many things to attend to and therefore entrusts clan affairs to others.
The current head of the Sarutobi clan is named Sarutobi Hiyomasa, who is a blood-related cousin of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
And this Sarutobi Jiro is, of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen's nephew.
He remained calm and simply quickened his pace.
"Captain Sen, Captain Senba, wait for us!"
"Should we report this to the clan chief first...?"
However, Qianyu's figure was almost out of sight.
……
The Sarutobi clan's residence.
"You can't leave...you can't leave..."
"Get out of here!"
Several villagers from Konoha were banding together to prevent Sarutobi Jiro from leaving.
They certainly didn't have much power, but they were determined to fight to the death for justice, and at this point they were completely disregarding their own lives.
Some clung to Sarutobi Jiro's legs, while others formed a human wall to block his path.
As more and more ninja villagers gathered to watch, Sarutobi Jiro's anger grew increasingly violent.
"Are you all really tired of living?!"
"You really think I wouldn't dare to make a move?!"
An old woman's tears streamed down her wrinkled face.
She stood shakily, her legs already injured, but she still used her crutches to shield Sarutobi Jiro.
"You, you beast, you killed my granddaughter..."
"I...I'll fight you to the death!"
She swung her cane at Sarutobi Jiro.
However, before he could even touch anyone, his frail body staggered and fell to the ground, his forehead hitting a hard rock, drawing blood...
"mom!"
Upon seeing this, the man who was clinging to Sarutobi Jiro's leg exclaimed in surprise, quickly released his leg, and rushed forward to check on his mother's injuries.
"Mom, you, you're bleeding..."
The man quickly covered his mother's forehead with his hand, and then frantically tore off pieces of his own clothes to make bandages to stop the bleeding.
"I...I'm fine, please don't...please don't let that beast get away..."
"You bastard! Sarutobi Jiro, you killed my daughter, and now you want to kill my mother too?!"
Sarutobi Jiro sneered, "She tripped and fell because she couldn't stand properly. What does that have to do with me?"
"Besides, she was the one who tried to hit me with her cane. Even if she falls and dies, it's her own fault!"
"You...you..."
The surrounding ninja villagers were in an uproar, discussing the matter animatedly.
"What happened? That guy killed his daughter?"
"I heard they were burned alive..."
"Huh? Why?"
"I don't know. Humph, this arrogant and domineering guy doesn't treat us like human beings at all. Who knows what we did to offend him?!"
"Shh, keep your voices down! That's the son of the Sarutobi clan chief! Are you all out of your minds?!"
Even the ninjas dared not make any rash moves.
"Isn't this going too far?"
"Should we report this to the Hokage?"
"The ANBU have already reported this..."
"Sigh, we can only hope that the Hokage will handle this impartially..."
"I don't think so. After all, he's a member of the Sarutobi clan, and also the Hokage's nephew..."
"...What are you talking about? How could the Hokage possibly show favoritism and protect such scum?"
"...Indeed, the Hokage wouldn't..."
Just then.
"Make way, all of you make way."
A majestic figure forced back the crowd and strode forward. Apart from being slightly younger, he looked somewhat similar to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Chieftain!"
The members of the Sarutobi clan hurriedly bowed respectfully.
The person who arrived was, of course, Hiyohiro Sarutobi.
"Father, you've finally arrived!"
"Hmph, these troublemakers are clinging to me like glue; arrest them all!"
however……
Hiro Sarutobi stepped forward and slapped Jiro Sarutobi hard across the face!
Snapped!
Sarutobi Jiro was knocked to the ground, a handprint instantly appearing on his face, which quickly swelled up.
"Father, you..."
"You bastard! Don't think I don't know, you're the one who killed someone's daughter, aren't you?!"
The onlookers were shocked and somewhat pleased by the unexpected scene.
"Well done, Chief Rixiong!"
"This kind of bastard deserves to be killed, even if it means betraying his own family!"
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
Sarutobi Jiro covered his face, his eyes wide with fear and terror, as if he no longer recognized his father.
"Father, I... I didn't mean to..."
"Not on purpose? Then why did you kill someone's daughter?!"
"explain!"
As Hiro Sarutobi unleashed his overwhelming aura, not only Jiro Sarutobi but everyone else felt the terrifying presence rushing towards them, like Mount Tai pressing down and a fierce wind blowing, making it hard to breathe.
"I... I'm just practicing spiritual cultivation..."
"No, that's right. I was just practicing my family's Fire Release ninjutsu, the Great Flame Technique..."
"My subordinates all say that, according to legend, the Great Flame Technique, when mastered to its peak, can unleash flames of extremely high temperature, capable of instantly incinerating a person. They also say that my Great Flame Technique has reached its peak and I am fully capable of doing the same..."
The onlookers seemed to understand something, and they couldn't help but show expressions of grief and indignation, their fists clenching involuntarily.
Sarutobi Hioya's expression changed drastically: "So, you're using someone else's daughter as a guinea pig for your ninjutsu?!"
"No, no!"
"My subordinates said there seemed to be something moving in the bushes, maybe a wild rabbit or deer, and they wanted me to... give them a chance to test the power of my Flame Technique..."
"In conclusion, the result..."
"A scream rang out, and I realized it was a person..."
"Moreover, my Flame Technique isn't as powerful as they claim. It can't instantly burn someone to ashes. I could only watch helplessly as that girl screamed in agony as she was burned alive. She ran towards us, howling and screaming. I... I'll never forget that scene..."
Hearing him admit it himself and describe the horrific scene at the time was unbearable for the victim's family.
"You beast! I'll fight you to the death!"
The man who was taking care of his mother roared, his eyes bloodshot, and charged fiercely at Sarutobi Jiro.
however……
Hiro Sarutobi easily stopped him.
"...I understand how you feel, after all, I'm a father too, but..."
"Before this matter is fully investigated, please remain calm and do not act impulsively. In the name of the Sarutobi clan head, I guarantee that this matter will be handled impartially. Please trust me, okay?"
"I, I..."
How could that father possibly remain calm? But he knew he was no match for these people, so he could only weep bitterly and say, "Chief Rixiong, please give us an explanation, otherwise my daughter... she died such a tragic death..."
"She's only eleven years old!"
Sarutobi Hiroshi grasped his hand with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.
"Don't worry! I will definitely give you justice!"
"Okay...okay...thank you..."
Sarutobi Hiro turned around to face his son, but suddenly changed his expression.
"According to what you just said..."
"You didn't know there was a person in the bushes?"
"So, you accidentally injured yourself?"
Sarutobi Jiro's expression changed!
Although he was arrogant and domineering, he wasn't stupid. How could he not understand that his father's words were a way of saving his life?!
Everyone around was stunned, instantly realizing that everything Sarutobi Hiroo had just done was nothing more than an act...
In the end, he still had to protect his son!
