The more Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it, the angrier he became. Looking at the documents in front of him, he wanted to burn them all.
But he didn't do that.
There is no point in doing so.
There cannot be only this one piece of relevant evidence and information.
Doing this in public only piques the curiosity of others.
The contents of this information must not be known to ordinary people.
Otherwise, Yoshito Sarutobi would be dead, and his reputation would be greatly affected.
He must not let his reputation collapse.
"What do you want?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi asked Uchiha Fugaku in a low voice.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and made his expression look as calm as possible.
Under no circumstances should Uchiha Fugaku be allowed to openly try Sarutobi Yoshito's case here.
If that were the case, it would be an absolute disaster for him.
"I want to help justice, this is my duty."
Uchiha Fugaku said with a smile.
He looked like he was greeting Sarutobi Hiruzen like an old friend.
"Don't play with these nonsense for me, I don't believe you can be so naive. Tell me honestly, what do you want?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said coldly.
He no longer had the intention to maintain a superficial harmony with Uchiha Fugaku.
The two races were already at odds with each other.
After today, the two races are real enemies.
"Give me the right to trade and manage the south gate of Konoha Village, and expel Yoshito Sarutobi from Konoha."
Uchiha Fugaku was not pretentious and put forward his real demands.
Konoha Village has four gates, southeast, northwest, and outside merchants must pass through these four gates when entering Konoha Village.
Managers can collect taxes on passing revenue and receive rebates, as allowed by the village's rules and regulations.
Once you obtain the right to manage trade, you can legitimately collect kickbacks from merchants, which can be a lot of money in a year.
The trade management of South Gate has always been controlled by the Uchiha family, which is also a very important source of income for the family.
But before that, Sarutobi Hiruzen took this right away from the Uchiha family and handed over this trade management right to the Sarutobi family.
At the family meeting, the Uchiha family clamored to leave Konoha Ninja Village because they were stimulated by this incident.
Without the right to manage trade, the family will die sooner or later, so why not give it a try?
Uchiha Fugaku wanted to regain the management rights of trade and business for the future development of the family.
If you eat mine, you have to bring it back to me honestly.
As for expelling Sarutobi Yoshito and the others from the Ninja Village, it was also to punish these guys.
If this is not satisfied, he would rather break up.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed greatly, but in the end he nodded in agreement.
Uchiha Fugaku's timing was too clever. There were so many civilians watching in public. If Yoshito Sarutobi's actions were exposed, not only would he die, but his reputation would also be affected.
The trade and management rights of the South Gate originally belonged to the Uchiha family. Even if it was returned to them, it would only be returned to the original owner.
The reason for seizing this trade right was just to force the Uchiha family to rebel.
Since this plan failed, it doesn't make much sense to hold this trade right.
It's better to simply return it to its original owner.
As long as the Uchiha family is eliminated, don't these things belong to him?
It would be good to temporarily expel Yoshito Sarutobi from the Ninja Village.
The Sarutobi family also controls several small ninja villages in the Land of Fire.
Let Sarutobi Yoshito leave Konoha and go to one of the ninja villages to manage it.
On the one hand, it can train this guy's ability and let him learn a lesson.
On the other hand, it can also avoid the limelight.
Just wait until the Uchiha family is dealt with and then find a reason to take this child back.
"I will send someone to you in a while to hand over the management of South Gate trade to you. Sarutobi Yoshito, please let me take them back first. Tomorrow at the latest, I will expel them from the Ninja Village. You should do this Don't you think you don't believe me?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uchiha Fugaku.
"How is that possible? Hokage-sama promised a thousand dollars, how could I not believe you? But I still have a small request, and I hope that Hokage-sama will fulfill it..." "
What request? Tell me!"
Looking at Uchiha Fugaku's playful expression , Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to punch him in the face.
But he still held back.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
He didn't need to get angry with a near-dead person.
But he will make a request to the killer.
This guy must be crushed to ashes.
Otherwise there would be no way to quell the anger in his heart.
Uchiha Fugaku saw what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking, but he didn't care.
He just likes the way the other person can't stand him but can't kill him.
You'll get used to this feeling after trying it a few times.
Sarutobi Hiruzen would soon fall in love with this feeling.
"Please give me your forehead protector."
Although the forehead protector worn by Sarutobi Hiruzen is not a treasure, it was given by the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama when he was young and has never left his body for decades.
It has always been his treasure.
But now he couldn't care less.
Put the big things first.
"Hmph!"
Finally, Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted coldly, took off his forehead protector and threw it to Uchiha Fugaku, and walked away with his men, leaving Uchiha Fugaku with his back.
"Farewell, Hokage-sama."
Uchiha Fugaku took the forehead protector, bent slightly, and watched Sarutobi Hiruzen go away.
There was a kind smile on his face.
After Sarutobi Hiruzen walked away, he picked up his forehead protector and walked to a huge stone in the center of Konoha Cemetery.
He just pressed it casually, and the forehead protector was smoothly embedded into the boulder.
Then he wrote and drew on the surface of the boulder with his fingers. The chakra-infused fingers pierced the surface of the boulder as easily as cutting tofu, leaving behind an extremely neat line:
"False Will of Fire: For the future of the Ninja Village, you all Burn yourself.
The true will of fire: For the future of Ninja Village, I will burn myself.
Anyone who ignores himself and only asks for the sacrifice of others is a hooligan. Such people are either stupid or bad.
——Sarutobi Hiruzen ."
It doesn't matter whether Sarutobi Hiruzen said this or not, just treat him as he did.
Anyway, before he traveled through time, there was once a great writer who was often cited with similar famous quotes.
I just hope that Master Sarutobi Hiruzen will not misunderstand. He wrote this paragraph to satirize Sarutobi Hiruzen's Will of Fire theory.
There is no doubt about this.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen is old, his body is still strong, so he should not be angry and cause problems.
When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard the news, he was indeed not in a serious situation.
He just felt a little fishy in his throat and had difficulty maintaining balance.
He put one hand on the table to avoid losing his composure in front of others.
"Uchiha Fugaku!"
This bastard must have done it on purpose!
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were almost on fire, he already hated Uchiha Fugaku to death.
He has never hated someone as much as he does now.
Why didn't he realize that Uchiha Fugaku was different earlier?
This Uchiha Fugaku is really good at pretending. His current performance is completely different from before.
Letting Uchiha Fugaku live well was the biggest mistake he had ever made in his life.
