Naruto, I will reveal the truth Chapter 100

“You…”

Hiruzen Sarutobi’s chest ached with anger. He could clearly tell that these were mocking words.

Three hundred and fifty million?

Not to mention that my Sarutobi clan doesn’t have that much money, did you think I’d forgotten that the Uchiha took the money a few days ago and then immediately went back on their word?

“What exactly do you want?

Just say it directly. What do you want me to do for you to stop this behavior?”

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with a dark expression. He truly wanted to fight the Uchiha to the death.

But…

He really couldn’t win!

“It’s simple, I want the Scroll of Seals!”

Lingyue thought about it repeatedly, and the only thing left in Konoha that was still useful to the Uchiha was this item.

It would be so boring to steal or snatch it. Wouldn’t it be better to just have Hiruzen Sarutobi deliver it?

Dare not to give it? Just see if my eyes agree or not.

“That’s impossible! The Scroll of Seals is the village’s property, and I have no right to give it to the Uchiha!” Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately became agitated upon hearing this.

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi’s agitated reaction, Lingyue remained unfazed.

“Impossible?

You should be clearer than me about how Konoha has dealt with the Uchiha over the years, right?

You say that we, the inherently evil Uchiha, shouldn’t seek revenge, should we?”

Hiruzen Sarutobi fell silent. Wasn’t that two hundred million ryo the compensation Konoha gave to the Uchiha?

You’re still coming to me for compensation. If I give it this time, what will I do if you come again next time?

“I’m well aware that the Scroll of Seals contains many ninjutsu specifically designed to counter the Uchiha.

Things like the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Dark Swamp Technique, the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags Technique, and so on. I can’t possibly leave them in your hands and let those who learn these ninjutsu use them against the Uchiha, can I?

Either hand over the Scroll of Seals, or we and Konoha will go our separate ways.

Clan Head Fugaku, show your Mangekyo Sharingan to our strongest Hokage to broaden his horizons!”

Hearing Lingyue’s words, Hiruzen Sarutobi subconsciously looked at Uchiha Fugaku.

He saw a black, six-pointed star-like pupil slowly rotating in Uchiha Fugaku’s scarlet eyes.

Remembering that the ninja opposite him was an Uchiha, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately lowered his head and averted his gaze in fear.

Hiruzen Sarutobi cursed inwardly, “You inherently evil Uchiha brat, how dare you trick me into looking at the Uchiha’s Sharingan!”

However… the Uchiha actually had three pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan?

No wonder the Uchiha were so confident. No wonder he dared to talk about going to war with Konoha!

Hiruzen Sarutobi was now completely distraught.

What should he do now?

Three pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan!

And not just two children.

Even Uchiha Fugaku, the clan head, had awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan!

What could Konoha use to fight the Uchiha now?

If they fought, Konoha would truly be utterly destroyed!

Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his head and pondered for a long time, finally looking up at Lingyue.

He knew that among the Uchiha present, this brat was in charge. His voice hoarsely said:

“How can you guarantee that after I hand over the Scroll of Seals, the Uchiha won’t continue to target Konoha!

Otherwise, I’d rather destroy the Scroll of Seals than leave it to the Uchiha!”

Surrendering when you can’t win, that was Hiruzen Sarutobi’s ninja way.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had been getting by for so many years by selling out the village.

As for the Scroll of Seals, the Sarutobi clan had already copied the ninjutsu on it, so giving it to the Uchiha wouldn’t cause him any loss.

The reason he didn’t want to give it was out of fear that the Uchiha would become even harder to deal with once they obtained the Scroll of Seals.

But now…

“Hiruzen Sarutobi, think clearly, it has always been you four who targeted the Uchiha.

And the Uchiha have always sought revenge against you four!

As long as you step down, with the pride of us Uchiha, we wouldn’t stoop to harming unarmed civilians!”

What Lingyue said was the truth, and Hiruzen Sarutobi knew it was the truth. But he still couldn’t believe it.

After all, this brat had already tricked him out of two hundred million with similar words!

But now, what could he do even if he didn’t believe it?

The Uchiha had revealed three pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan and given him a way out…

Hiruzen Sarutobi could only deceive himself into believing that the Uchiha would keep their promise.

“Alright, I’ll hand over the Scroll of Seals. But the Uchiha must stop distributing flyers!”

Hiruzen Sarutobi still wanted to bargain for more benefits for himself.

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi finally willing to compromise, Lingyue nodded in satisfaction.

Since you’ve taken a step back, then I…

Will press forward another step!

“Itachi, go get a copy of tomorrow’s content for our Hokage-sama!”

The Great Elder and Uchiha Fugaku, who were standing behind Lingyue, had already been overjoyed to the point of losing their bearings when they saw Lingyue obtain the Scroll of Seals from Hiruzen Sarutobi with just a few words, but they didn’t expect it to be over yet!

Seeing that Lingyue didn’t immediately agree to his request, Hiruzen Sarutobi already had a bad premonition.

When Uchiha Itachi brought a flyer, Hiruzen Sarutobi’s pupils had shrunk to pinpricks.

He didn’t even need to look to know that it must still be about his secrets!

“Hokage-sama, you should take a good look. The content inside is very exciting.”

《Thought-Provoking! Is Hokage a Responsibility or Power?!》

Hiruzen Sarutobi took the flyer with trembling hands and saw the large title.

The more he read, the more Hiruzen Sarutobi’s back hunched. His hands were already trembling so much that he could barely hold the flyer.

“No, none of this is true!”

Hiruzen Sarutobi himself couldn’t believe that he had done so many wrong things during his time in office!

The First Hokage quelled the wars and established the ninja villages.

The Second Hokage created the Ninja Academy, invented many ninjutsu, and sacrificed his life to cover his comrades’ retreat.

The Fourth Hokage was invincible on the battlefield and sealed the Nine-Tails with his life.

And he himself, ever since becoming Hokage, had never been on the battlefield again!

Allowed the allied Uzumaki Village to be destroyed!

Sent children to the battlefield to die!

Allowed Orochimaru’s human experiments to wipe out the Senju clan!

Allowed rumors to force White Fang to his death!

Allowed Danzo to secretly raise troops, assassinate the Hokage, secretly transplant Sharingan, and kill Shisui of the Body Flicker!

Did not act during the Nine-Tails attack, allowing Minato Namikaze to die tragically!

Allowed the Cloud Ninjas to threaten the village, forcing Hizashi Hyuga to his death!

Had he unknowingly committed so many wrongdoings?

Had Konoha experienced so many regrets?

No wonder he always felt like he had no one left to rely on…

“All of this has a reason!

I… I…

Just… wanted to weaken the power of the ninja clans in the village!

Everything I did was for the village!”

Hiruzen Sarutobi initially tried to explain, but by the end, he was screaming hysterically!

When he said everything was for the village, Hiruzen Sarutobi almost believed it himself.

“For the village, you allowed allies to be destroyed?

Weaken the ninja clans and then develop the Sarutobi clan?

The Will of Fire is for you to hide your own clan’s ninjutsu and send children to the battlefield to die?”

Lingyue’s words pierced Hiruzen Sarutobi’s heart like a knife!

“You can fool others, but don’t fool yourself. You just can’t let go of the power of the Hokage!”
