The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 350 Trivial Matters

At this moment, Chiyo also withdrew his chakra and exited Sage Mode.

He approached Akimichi Torifu and said, "Elder Torifu, I'll leave the remaining trivial matters to you."

Akimichi Torifu patted his belly: "Don't worry, leave it to me."

Then Qianyao came to Elder Luhe's side.

Although Nara Shikaku has taken over as clan leader, he is not as mature and prudent as the clan elder Shikaga.

Of the three families—Ino-Shika-Cho—the Nara family is definitely the head.

That old man is very clever.

Qianyao also spoke up directly: "Elder Luhe and Elder Qufeng are old friends."

Please cooperate with us in village affairs.

Lu He's face didn't show much expression; he spoke in a businesslike manner:

"Elder Qianyao, rest assured, I will ensure the smooth operation of Konoha Village."

Qianyao chuckled softly, "Elder Shikahe, rest assured, we Uchiha are not the kind of people who seek death."

Lu He nodded, understanding Qian Yao's words.

After expelling Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, the highest leaders of Konoha became Chiyo, Torifu, and the elders led by the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

The power that Qianyao had just unleashed reassured the elders who had chosen Konoha Village.

However, given Nara Shikaga's intelligence, Konoha is still at great risk.

Although he didn't know how Tsunade agreed to this idea, there was no doubt that expelling Sarutobi and his group would reduce Konoha's strength by at least half.

This is very disadvantageous for these ninja clans who yearn for peace.

But the die was cast, and we had no choice but to do it.

After all, all the elders had seen that a large number of Anbu members had changed their allegiance from "Hokage" to "Hiruzen Sarutobi".

In addition, Hiruzen Sarutobi changed the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to a member of the Sarutobi clan.

Isn't the meaning obvious?

Even if they were out of their minds, they wouldn't choose Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Otherwise, I wouldn't even know when I'll be killed by Hiruzen Sarutobi someday.

Chiyo's words clearly indicated that they were mentally prepared for the decline in Konoha's strength.

And there are clearly countermeasures in place.

Lu He was also relieved, after all, he hadn't done anything stupid since Qian Yao rose to power.

……

In the following period, the entire Hidden Leaf Village was thrown into turmoil.

In less than an hour, all the bulletin boards were filled with notices.

He has already spared the lives of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Sakumo Hatake, Nawaki, Dan Kato, the Senju clan, and the Uchiha clan...

A whole list of charges was written down.

This includes, but is not limited to, bullying Naruto, embezzling the Fourth Hokage and his wife's inheritance, and seizing the Nine-Tails.

Furthermore, it was stated that even with conclusive evidence, Hiruzen Sarutobi refused to cooperate with the investigation.

They confronted the village with a large number of secret agents.

Elder advisor Uchiha Chiyo and Tsunade, granddaughter of the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, did not use force to coerce Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others for the safety of the villagers.

Instead, they expelled them from Konoha.

The fact that the Hyuga clan was attacked by Obito was also written down, but no one paid much attention to it.

After all, the announcement didn't mention the mass death of the Hyuga main family.

Everyone's attention was on Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Standing next to each bulletin board were all members of the Uchiha clan, or members of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

One task was to maintain order, and the other was to read aloud the contents of the document.

The text isn't particularly complex, but the content is incredibly explosive.

Not only were the people of Konoha stunned, but even spies from other ninja villages were dumbfounded.

Each ninja village is so large that it's quite normal for them to hide spies from other villages in civilian areas.

However, they can only obtain some ordinary or publicly available intelligence.

Konoha has undoubtedly made the information public.

This publicly released information was absolutely explosive; the village had driven the shadow away.

And it's not just about expelling one person, but everyone connected to this shadow.

The Sarutobi clan alone numbers nearly ten thousand, including both ordinary people and combatants.

If we add in the other tribes, the total number of people would be more than 30,000.

The spies were stunned. What a stroke of luck!

If Konoha pulls this stunt, won't it just split up?

They all relayed the information back to their villages as quickly as possible.

This situation in Konoha can be described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Regardless of whether it's Sarutobi, Mitomon, Utatane, or Shimura, the ordinary people in their clans care about their surnames more than Qianyao could imagine.

So even knowing that not giving up their surname meant leaving Konoha Village.

Eighty percent of people still chose to follow Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Qianyao didn't bother with these people, after all, life and death are predestined and wealth is determined by fate.

Since these people chose to go with Hiruzen Sarutobi, they must bear the corresponding price.

……

The people in the Forest of Death knew nothing about what happened in Konoha Village.

With everything in chaos outside, the third battle took place directly inside the tower in the Death Forest.

After quickly finishing the fight, they released everyone.

The elite students are taking the Chunin Exams too early; most of them are under 11 years old.

The final result was, naturally, that all of them were eliminated.

After they finished their exams and left the Forest of Death, they realized that the world outside had changed.

Most of the genin who take the Chunin exam are related to various clans.

Some people, once they emerged from the Forest of Death, discovered that they were no longer Konoha residents.

Other ordinary people were just watching the show.

Some with foresight began to worry about Konoha.

These people also learned about the attack on the Hyuga clan.

Neji was picked up by Hyuga Hiro, a member of the Hyuga clan, as soon as he left the examination hall in the Forest of Death.

The Forest of Death is some distance from the Hyuga clan.

That day, Xiang Hao led Neji away from all the examinees before speaking to Neji.

"Neji, you need to be mentally prepared."

His tone was very serious, which made Neji's heart skip a beat.

When Hyuga Hiroko met Neji, he said, "The clan has been attacked. Come with me immediately."

Neji didn't ask at the time, but now it seems the situation is more serious than he imagined.

He stopped and asked, "Senior, what exactly happened in the clan?"

Hinata Hiroshi first activated his Byakugan and looked around in all directions.

After making sure no one was around, he spoke in a low voice: "The entire main family is dead."

Neji froze, "Wh...what...!?"

Hinata Hiroshi added, "Clan Chief Hiashi, First Elder Muneaki, Second Elder..."

He didn't mind the trouble and read out the entire name of the clan from beginning to end.

After all, he had wanted these bastards dead for countless years, and each of their names was etched into his soul.

"We will never be enslaved by caged birds again."

After speaking, Hinata Hiroshi's expression was full of relief and admiration.

Neji's eyes were fixed; he had come to participate in a Chunin Exam.

Are all the main family members dead?

Has the revenge for my father been taken?

Neji shook his head, and asked with a complicated expression, "Where are Hinata and Hanabi?"

Hinata Hiroshi replied, "The two of them were taken away by Elder Chiyo."

I felt relieved that Neji hadn't come.

However, Hinata Hiroshi only mentioned the main family's affairs.

"So, are our losses significant?"

As soon as Neji spoke, Hyuga Hiroshi's expression darkened.

"You'll find out when you get back."
