Just as Hiruzen was slowly speaking at the Five Kage Summit, a crystal ball placed quietly in an open space far away in Konoha Village suddenly emitted a bright light.
This crystal ball was the very ninja tool that the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, used to observe the village's situation. Now, it was being activated in an unbelievable way.
As the light from the crystal ball rapidly spread, a clear and realistic projection suddenly appeared on a huge white screen in front of us.
"Raikage: ...Is that the Tsuchikage? This...this is the Five Kage Summit?!"
A gasp quickly rose from the scene, and more and more Konoha ninja gathered, along with many Chunin, Genin, and even ordinary villagers who had come to investigate.
They gathered around the screen to watch this unimaginable live broadcast.
"Three generations of adults are speaking..."
As Hiruzen's heavy, slow words were clearly uttered, everyone listened intently, holding their breath.
The more the Konoha ninjas listened, the more uneasy they felt, especially when Hiruzen said he would give the ninja world an explanation for the mistakes he had made, at which point a heavy silence fell over the scene.
Many ninjas exchanged puzzled and worried glances, a sense of unease and doubt gradually rising in their hearts.
"Why does this feel...like Tobirama-sama is forcing Hiruzen-sama to admit his mistakes?"
A senior Konoha ninja finally spoke in a low voice, his tone revealing a hint of hesitation and confusion.
These words immediately sparked more whispers and concerns among the crowd. More and more people began to doubt the two marginalized Hokage advisors, looking at Danzo and Hiruzen in the conference room...
My feelings are complicated.
At the Five Kage Summit, all eyes were on Hiruzen Sarutobi.
At this moment, Hiruzen looked unusually old and haggard, with a deep and desperate sorrow in his eyes, as if he carried all the pain and self-blame in the world.
He slowly raised his head, looking at the Kage-level ninjas from the various ninja villages before him, and said in a low, trembling voice:
"All the mistakes and sins that Konoha has committed over the years have stemmed from my weakness and dereliction of duty."
"From the destruction of the Uchiha clan to the heinous crimes committed by Shinnosuke today, all of this is my responsibility alone, Hiruzen Sarutobi."
As he spoke, his tone gradually became firm and resolute, his gaze sweeping over everyone present:
"In order to give everyone an explanation, and in order to get the five great ninja villages to put aside their prejudices and fight together against the impending apocalyptic crisis, I am willing to give my life to atone for my sins."
As soon as Hiruzen finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the entire venue, everyone utterly astonished...
No one expected that the usually gentle Third Hokage would say he wanted to commit suicide on such a momentous occasion.
An uproar erupted in Weiye Village!
Even the usually composed and steady Tsuchikage, Onoki, smiled slightly, then sighed and said in a low voice:
"I never expected this... Back then, Konoha made Sakumo Hatake commit suicide, which was already shocking. Now, even the Hokage is willing to commit suicide to seek peace."
However, Onoki keenly noticed that the Second Hokage, Tobirama, still had a cold and resolute expression, and he immediately understood something.
Since Tobirama was willing to sacrifice Hiruzen's life to gain the cooperation of the ninja world, it means that the so-called doomsday crisis must be real, and the situation may have reached an extremely serious point.
Onoki turned and exchanged a glance with Kazekage Rasa, their eyes filled with complex emotions and a deep sense of gravity.
Meanwhile, Shinnosuke, bound and sealed tightly, witnessed his father making this decision and let out a heart-wrenching cry.
He struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free from the seals and chains binding him.
The powerful sealing force completely suppressed his voice and mobility, not to mention the watchful eyes of Nagato and Tobirama nearby.
He didn't even have a chance to struggle.
His heart felt as if it were being torn apart by a thousand blades, aching intensely. He trembled all over, and his overwhelming anger and self-blame nearly drove him to a complete breakdown.
He once vowed to protect his father and safeguard Konoha, but now he has become the sinner who pushed his father to his doom.
Shinnosuke's heart was in turmoil, and his pain reached its peak.
Life seemed to have fallen into eternal darkness at this moment, with no hope or light in sight.
Just then, Hiruzen slowly took out a cold, sharp short sword from his robes and sat down with a calm and resolute gaze.
Tobirama looked at him calmly, and finally asked in a low voice, "Monkey, are you sure you won't regret this?"
Hiruzen merely smiled slightly, a sense of serene relief appearing on his aged and weary face.
"If my life can bring about true reconciliation among the five great ninja villages, and help Konoha and the ninja world overcome the impending crisis, then I will do it willingly."
Upon hearing these words, Tobirama's heart trembled slightly.
He didn't really want to force Hiruzen to this point. As long as Hiruzen showed enough attitude, Tobirama was unwilling to let him really sacrifice himself here.
But Hiruzen before us has already made his final choice, a decision so resolute it is deeply moving.
At this moment, Shinnosuke completely lost control. He struggled with all his might, his whole body trembling violently, his eyes bloodshot, and his heart almost completely filled with hatred and grief.
I only hate myself for being incompetent, and I only hate myself for pushing my father to his death.
His father's resolute actions completely shattered his last psychological defenses, and his emotions collapsed entirely.
Just as Shinnosuke was on the verge of madness, Hiruzen slowly got up and walked to him, looking at his son with gentle and loving eyes.
She gently reached out and patted Shinnosuke's shoulder softly and warmly, speaking in the calmest and gentlest tone:
"Shinnosuke, don't be sad, don't blame yourself. You'll always be my son, and I'll always be proud of you..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the short knife in his hand sliced across his own neck without hesitation!
"puff!"
Blood gushed out suddenly, the scarlet blood splattering on Shinnosuke's face and body, like the most tragic painting, staining everyone's vision red.
The Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, fell heavily and helplessly to the ground, his body slowly collapsing, blood quickly pooling at his feet.
A pool of blood...
The technique that sealed Shinnosuke has been corrupted...
At that moment, the entire venue fell silent, and everyone was completely stunned by what they saw.
Within Konoha Village...:
Everyone witnessed this scene...
They were completely stunned and speechless.
The visuals are absolutely stunning!
Shinnosuke's heart was shattered at that moment.
His father's last words kept echoing in his mind, those warm and firm words, "I will always be proud of you," piercing his heart like a sharp blade.
Shinnosuke, unable to contain his grief and despair any longer, looked up to the sky and let out a mournful and furious roar:
"Aaaaaah!!!"
The roar was filled with endless pain and anger, heart-wrenching and almost shaking the soul of everyone present.
At this moment, the ninjas in the hall all lowered their heads and fell silent, and the atmosphere became oppressive and heavy.
Even seasoned veterans like the Raikage, Tsuchikage, and Kazekage, who had weathered countless storms, could only silently gaze at the scene before them.
My feelings are complicated and painful.
Tsunade covered her mouth tightly, tears streaming down her face. Jiraiya also lowered his head sadly, his face full of pain.
Only Tobirama, with a complex and solemn expression, watched Shinnosuke, who had completely fallen into madness and despair.
At this moment, as Hiruzen Sarutobi's blood stained the ground, the sealing chains that had been firmly binding Shinnosuke were unknowingly eroded by the blood and quickly lost their original power.
Finally, Shinnosuke broke free of the seal with all his might and lunged at the cold corpse on the ground.
He held his father Hiruzen's body tightly, which was gradually losing its warmth, tears streaming down his face like a broken dam.
"Father! Father!"
Accompanied by Shinnosuke's mournful cries, a strange and powerful force suddenly erupted...:
Countless dark and menacing withered wood jutsu surged forth from all directions, instantly forcing back all the ninjas present.
As everyone retreated, they were startled to see a huge and eerie Buddha statue...
It slowly rose from behind Shinnosuke, its terrifying silhouette casting a huge shadow in mid-air...
The Buddha statue grew to an enormous size, exuding an eerie aura.
Ninja.
What is a ninja?
Looking at the Third Hokage lying in a pool of blood, Kakashi recalled his conversation with the Third Hokage and the calligraphy he had given him...
Kakashi was confused...
There was only one person in the entire room; something felt off...
That was Tobirama...
He felt a chill creep up his spine.
Some things...
He had never considered that direction, but once...
It's terrifying to think about...
