All Hokage in The Chat Group

"My God!"

"Real or fake?"

"Did the Third Hokage and Danzo being Hokage Assistant did something bad behind the people of Konoha?"

"It's just unbelievable!"

Ryan's words on the light curtain sent shockwaves through Konoha. The entire village erupted in chaos in mere moments, with most of the residents being civilians.

Among the notable families, the Nara clan, known for their political acumen, was quick to pick up on the situation. While they didn't fully grasp the extent of Third Hokage and Danzo's actions, they managed to piece together some clues.

On the other hand, prominent clans like the Hyuga and Uchiha seemed to rejoice at the revelation.

It must be acknowledged that they had long suffered under the rule of the Third Hokage, and now, with these revelations, they felt a sense of vindication. They refrained from actively attacking the Shimura and Sarutobi clans, as doing so might tarnish their image. However, it was only natural for them to take pleasure in the downfall of their adversaries.

Meanwhile, in a Konoha tavern, a graceful figure sat by the window, pouring herself some sake. She gazed at Ryan's image displayed on the light curtain in the sky.

"Hehe, the time has come, my boy."

Sitting at the tavern was none other than Ryan's mentor, Tsunade Senju.

As if struck by another thought, she glanced in the direction of the Sarutobi clan. A self-deprecating smile graced her lips, followed by another sip of sake.

Tsunade murmured, "Hmm~"

"Tsunade, is your intention to skip the teacher's summons and invite me here?" a cold and calculated voice interrupted her solitude.

As Tsunade continued sipping her drink, a figure emanating an icy aura approached the tavern. With pale skin and a demeanor resembling a patient snake, the newcomer was Orochimaru, the Snake Sannin, a genius of the same generation as Tsunade, the Slug Sannin.

Observing Orochimaru's approach, Tsunade remained silent. Instead, she fetched a bottle of sake from the side and placed it in front of him.

"Come, have a drink. I'm here just to enjoy the spectacle!"

Orochimaru stared at the offered sake, then turned his gaze to Tsunade. There was a rare sense of relief and ease in her demeanor, a sight he hadn't witnessed in a long time. Without further words, he reached for the drink and took a sip.

As Orochimaru's gaze fixated on the distant light curtain, recent events flashed through his mind.

A few days ago, Ryan had launched a campaign of public opinion within the village, revealing fragments of incriminating evidence against the Third Hokage and Danzo.

In the blink of an eye, the Third Hokage was dethroned from his position, leaving everyone dumbfounded by the speed and precision of the coup.

Ryan had taken up the mantle of Hokage with unprecedented rapidity, catching even Orochimaru off guard. But what baffled Orochimaru most was the fact that Ryan had chosen not to target him.

At the time, Orochimaru had been conducting human experiments on Konoha villagers, in collaboration with Danzo. He had assumed he would meet the same fate as the Third Hokage.

To his astonishment, Ryan had spared him. Ryan had visited Orochimaru personally, putting aside the human experiments for the moment. Ryan pledged to continue funding Orochimaru's experiments but stipulated that the subjects must not be from Konoha.

This twist left Orochimaru puzzled, unable to fully comprehend Ryan's motives.

Still, Orochimaru was allowed to continue his experiments in Konoha, a compromise that pleased him greatly.

As he considered Ryan's recent actions, a rare smile curled Orochimaru's lips. He was eager to relish the unfolding drama orchestrated by Ryan.

Soon, all the evidence compiled by Namikaze Minato was unveiled on the light curtain.

This evidence included plans by Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and his assistant, Shimura Danzo, to undermine the Senju clan.

Ninjas from the Senju clan, regardless of their rank, were systematically sent on perilous missions, often resulting in their deaths.

Even the Senju members integrated into Konoha were subjected to covert human experimentation.

The true extent of their crimes was shocking. The horrifying revelation that the Third Hokage and Danzo had even murdered Nawaki, the young head of the Senju clan, in order to obtain the coveted Wood Style of the First Hokage, left the entire Konoha in stunned silence. No one had suspected such heinous acts from the seemingly benevolent Third Hokage. Even the ninja families, who owed their teachings and the founding of Konoha to Hashirama and Tobirama, were taken aback by this dark truth.

The weight of their actions hit hard, leaving only a handful of survivors in the Senju clan - Tsunade and Uzumaki Mito.

"!!!!"

"These two are beyond ruthless!"

A chilling feeling swept through everyone in Konoha, and before they could fully process this revelation, the evidence on the light curtain continued to play. Plans of manipulation and collusion between the two families were laid bare, along with the revelation that Danzo had been secretly abducting talented individuals from various clans.

"Damn Danzo!!!"

"No wonder our clan's geniuses disappeared overnight!"

"These two monsters!"

Outrage erupted from the onlookers, especially among the major clans. The disappearances of promising talents over the years now made sense, and the families were on the verge of chaos, only held in check by the patriarchs' influence.

The evidence also exposed how the two had been relentlessly collecting resources - from ninja assets to civilian wealth. The supplies sent by the daimyo for the village's benefit were siphoned off by the scheming duo for their own gain.

As a result, the Sarutobi and Shimura families, once small and inconspicuous, had rapidly grown into powerful forces rivaling even the Hyuga clan. Moreover, they weren't just cultivating ninjas; they fattened their ranks with ordinary citizens, indulging them in a life of comfort.

This revelation ignited the anger of both the major clans and the civilians alike.

"Damn Third Hokage!"

"Calling him the Third Hokage is an insult! Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't deserve that title!"

"Absolutely right!"

"And that old man, Danzo!"

"Both of them are despicable! Unforgivable!"

Konoha erupted into turmoil. The intelligent and perceptive citizens vented their rage, unleashing years of pent-up frustration at the two who had held them in check.

The skies echoed with vehement condemnation. Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, whose façades had crumbled, were now exposed to the full force of public fury.

Caught in the relentless wave of anger, the faces of the two culprits turned ashen.

"It's over, it's all over!"

They could only watch helplessly as the consequences of their actions unfurled before them.
