Chapter 560: The Great Purge
After listening to Yamanaka Haiyi's analysis, Qiu Dao Dingza said angrily: "Since we know that someone is playing ghosts, why don't we clarify that there will be no joint Zhongnin exam?" β
Hinata Hinata said: "The invitations have been sent, and now I'm afraid it's too late to regret it." β
"In addition to the various ninja villages, even the rich businessmen and celebrities in the ninja world already know about it."
"According to the usual practice, the first session of the joint Zhongnin exam will start in a month, and the last one will be held in two months."
"Those people are probably already planning their trips and getting ready to come and watch the game."
Hinata Hinata is right, every time the Great Ninja Village holds a joint ninja exam, it is a grand event in the ninja world.
Now if Konoha reveals his shortcomings and says that this invitation is fake, and someone controls them with illusion, then Konoha's face will be disgraced.
In order not to be slapped in the face by the public, Konoha could only hold the joint ninja exam this time.
This is also a plan that Tuan Zang has already calculated, this is a conspiracy, even if Nara Shikahisa and the others know that he is going to make trouble in the joint Zhongnin exam, there is no way to stop it.
Everyone was silent, and this feeling of being manipulated and crushed by their IQ was very uncomfortable.
At this time, Nara Shikahisa spoke, and he said in a deep voice, "Now is not the time to dwell on this. β
"We need to discuss first, who is secretly playing tricks on us? What is the purpose of the other party? β
The first question is not difficult to guess, there are only two people in the ninja world who will do this kind of thing to Konoha, one is Yichen, and the other is Danzang.
Even Akido Dingza can guess this.
Oil girl Zhiwei said: "It should be Tuanzang, this incident shows that the other party has a lot of people in the village." β
"Danzou has been the Hokage, it's possible to do this, but it's impossible for the Tsuchikage to have so many intelligence ninjas."
Inuzuka Paw continued: "It's also possible that the two sides are together again, don't forget the previous attack on the port, and there was a figure of Iwa Shinobi in that matter." β
When the port of Konoha was attacked, the person in charge there was a member of the Inuzuka clan, so Inuzuka Paw remembered it well.
Sunset True Red said: "Then the main envoy is basically determined, it is Danzang, and there may also be a earth shadow." β
"As for the purpose of the group, I think he wants to take advantage of the chaos of the Zhongnin exam to launch a coup d'Γ©tat."
Hearing the word coup d'Γ©tat, everyone's expressions were not good-looking, because they came to power through a coup d'Γ©tat.
Nara Shikaku nodded and said, "Okay, these two questions have been clarified, and then we need to conduct an investigation to find out the people who have taken refuge in the group." β
Hearing Nara's words, Hinata, Inuzuka, and Oil Girl, the ninja patriarchs who were the best at tracking in the entire ninja world, were all silent.
Because you don't need to check them, you also know which people are most likely to defect to Danzo, and those who have lost their interests due to their ninja superiority are all possible.
It's just that there are too many of these people, and none of them can afford to offend.
If a major investigation is really carried out, civil strife may break out in Konoha immediately.
Think about it to see how those people would react.
Okay, you village moths, you have hollowed out the village by yourself, and now there is a problem in the village, and you still want to dump the pot on us?
At that time, even if Nara Lujiu and they come up with definite evidence and only want to deal with a small number of people, others will not believe it.
They will only think that Nara Shikahisa and others are excluding dissidents, suppressing civilian ninjas, and preparing for the complete elimination of civilian ninjas in the future.
The next direction of things is clear, the conservative ones will choose to defect, and the radical ones will directly rebel.
Seeing this, Nara Shikaku sighed inwardly, but said calmly, "There is still a question, whether to notify Kakashi of this matter. β
"The joint Zhongnin exam is a big deal, we can't keep it from him, even if nothing happens, he will have to come forward to preside over the third exam in the end."
The crowd fell silent, telling Kakashi that they had to admit their mistakes and relinquish power. No one wants to do that.
Nara Shikaku continued to persuade: "It's all come to this point, everyone's losses have almost been made up, it's time to stop." β
"Give the power back to Kakashi and Sarutobi, or we won't be able to resist Danzo."
Everyone was still silent, and they all avoided Nara Shikaku's gaze.
Nara Shikaku sighed and said, "The last seven days, after seven days, Kakashi must be notified. β
"Otherwise, Kakashi won't have time to set up defenses, and if Danzo really comes in, it won't do us any good."
Seeing that Nara Shikahisa had said this, Yamanaka Kaichi answered: "Okay, after seven days, all the people of the Yamanaka clan will resign." β
Some people take the lead, others are not reconciled, but they still no longer insist.
They have successively said that they will cede power after seven days.
The last to express his stance was Hinata Hizo, and he didn't want to give up, but everyone else gave in, and he couldn't help it.
In the end, Hinata Hinata had to say, "I will recall all the members of the branch." β
Nara Shikaku frowned and glanced at Hinata Hinata, but still didn't say anything.
What Hinata meant by this was that although he relinquished power, he would no longer send people to serve the village.
If Kakashi wants the Hyuga clan to continue to contribute in the days to come, I'm afraid he will have to make concessions.
But this is Kakashi's headache, and Nara Shikaku doesn't want to take care of it, and he can't take care of it.
He waved his hand and said, "Let's dismiss." β
Next, all departments and institutions in Konoha Village were busy all at once.
All sorts of documents for grants were sent to the top brass like snowflakes.
Nara Shikahisa knew that this was the last carnival of his allies, and he couldn't stop it, so he agreed to them all.
Seven days later, Nara Shikaku called Kakashi, who was immersed in training, to the Hokage's office and confessed everything to him.
Of course, it is unknown what kind of words were used to cover up their shameless behavior during the reporting process of Nara Shikaku.
When Nara Shikaku finished reporting the situation and left the Hokage's office, Kakashi, who was sitting alone in the Hokage's position, was confused.
He stretched out his hand and trembled to open the ledger that Nara Shikaku had just handed him.
Looking at the incredible deficit above, Kakashi's eyes darkened, and he almost fainted.
This matter is too big, Kakashi doesn't know how to deal with it at all, in his opinion, the situation that Konoha is facing now is a dead end, and there is no way to solve it at all.
Danzang's counterattack was menacing, and with the help of the nonsense of Nara Lujiu and others, he didn't know how many people he had already wooed.
These large and small ninjas must be used in order to fend off Danzo, but reusing them will cause even more dissatisfaction among civilian ninjas.
When the time comes, the situation will only get more and more erosive.
After a long silence, he picked up the ledger and other documents and went to the house of Ape Fei Ri Slash.
When Kakashi saw the appearance of the ape flying in the sun, he couldn't help but pause.
I haven't seen him for half a year, and there are more age spots on Ape Fei Ri's face, and the mental state of the whole person is extremely poor, and there is no shadow of the shinobi back then.
Kakashi couldn't bear to bother him, but looking down at the papers, he struggled to take his steps.
When Sarutobi listened to Kakashi's words, an incredible expression appeared on his face as well.
It took Sarutobi longer than Kakashi to slash the gods.
It was a full half hour before his distracted eyes refocused.
Kakashi's eyes narrowed, because the moment Sarutobi's eyes refocused, he saw a sharp edge that he hadn't seen for a long time.
The appearance of the ape Fei Ri has not changed, some of the messy clothes and hair have not changed, but the momentum of the whole person has completely changed.
He sat up straight and said to Kakashi, "Internal and external troubles, you can't deal with them passively, you must use thunder means at this time." β
Affected by the momentum of the ape flying sun, Kakashi also sat up straight, and he asked in a deep voice, "Three generations, what should I do?" β
"First of all, we need to unify our internal voices. β
"Now there is a fierce contradiction between the ninja and the civilian ninjas in the village, and Tuan Zang is taking advantage of this contradiction, so we don't have time to negotiate, and we don't have time to slowly maneuver."
"We have to be on one side, give the other side a thunderous blow, and then regroup."
"All this has to be done quickly, and it must be done before Tuan Zang can do it."
Kakashi's eyes froze and he asked, "Then which side should we be on?" β
Sarutobi said categorically: "On the side of the civilian ninja! β
"With the foreign enemy of Tuanzang, the ninjas of the ninja clan have no way out, even if they are suppressed, they must fight against Tuanzang with us."
"And if you are on the side of the ninja clan, Konoha will be divided at best, and perish in civil strife at worst."
Kakashi nodded, took a deep breath, and looked at him with the same determination.
Sarutobi continued: "The fault party for this incident is the children of the ninja clan. β
"There are two things that dislike the civilian ninjas, the first is that they are incapable but occupy high positions. Second: Harming the public and private interests, not only stealing the interests of the village, but also encroaching on the interests of the civilian ninjas. β
"So all of our responses have to be aimed at those two things."
"First of all, publicly announce the crimes of the ninjas, remove all the ninjas, and replace all positions with civilian ninjas."
Kakashi wondered, "But they've all resigned on their own initiative." β
Sarutobi waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, it must be said to the outside world that it is you, the Hokage's decision." β
Kakashi thought thoughtfully.
Sarutobi then said: "Then, raid the house, take all the ninja clans, and give part of their property to the public, and part of it to the civilian ninjas. β
Kakashi gasped, he didn't expect Sarutobi to be so ruthless, originally he thought that letting those ninjas pull out a few ninjas who had gone too far to be scapegoats was the limit.
So Kakashi hurriedly said, "If they rebel, what will happen to the village under internal and external troubles?" β
Kakashi's worries are justified, Nara Shikahisa, Hinata Hinata and others have always believed that together, although their strength is not enough to replace the Hokage, it is enough to destroy Konoha.
As long as Kakashi wasn't crazy, he wouldn't force them to rebel.
Ape Fei Ri said firmly: "They don't dare, they can't let go." A group of embezzlers have just made a huge amount of money, how can they have the idea of burning all the jade. β
Kakashi was still not at ease, and he said, "But, even if they don't rebel, what about after that? β
"Will they cooperate with the village's policies in the future?"
Sarutobi looked directly at Kakashi and said, "No more, all the ninja clans will be recovered, and all the ninja clans will be scattered and lived." β
"All ninja ninjas are all incorporated into the dark or regular forces."
"Give them stronger ninjas as teammates."
Kakashi's breathing was a little short, and that's when he realized that Sarutobi was going to take this opportunity to completely destroy the ninja forces that had been around since Konoha established the village.
After closing his eyes for a while, Kakashi calmed down, he opened his eyes, and calmly said to Sarutobi Hichi, "Three generations, I understand. β
In the end, Sarutobi asked: "If you encounter resistance......
Kakashi didn't hesitate and immediately answered, "No mercy!" β
The two looked at each other, and both saw the decisiveness in each other's eyes.
Then the two discussed in a low voice for a while, and then they parted and went to prepare.
The next day, an announcement came out of the Hokage Building.
The Seven Generations Hokage Kakashi Kakashi entrusted all government affairs to Nara Shikaku and others because of his retreat and training.
But these guys used the Hokage behind their backs to exclude dissidents internally, to take others for personal gain, to embezzle huge amounts of public money, and to sacrifice the interests of the village externally, making Konoha discredited.
Therefore, the seventh generation Hokage Kakashi decided to remove all the ninja clan's sons from their positions, including the advisors of Nara Shikaku and others.
This blockbuster news has not been digested by everyone, and the next news is coming again.
Hokage's order: Raida clan, Nara clan, Yamanaka clan, Akido clan, oil girl clan, Inuzuka clan, Yuri clan, Moonlight clan and other more than ten large and medium-sized ninja clans.
Before the order had even spread throughout Konoha, Kakashi had already led people to the Nara clan's land.
And the ape flying to the Hinata clan took people to the clan land of the Hyuga clan.
Ape Demon and some ninjas from the Sarufei clan went to the land of the Oil Maiden.
Maitkai took people to the Inuzuka clan's clan land.
In addition, there are also Marushi Gusuke and other strong people who are not from the ninja clan, and they are all top ninjas in the elite, and they lead people to quickly surround other ninjas.
Because the mind was unified before the war, the actions of Kakashi and the others were very decisive this time.
The land of the three clans of Pig, Deer and Butterfly was very close, and when Kakashi and his people appeared near their clan land, the three of them were shocked and drove out.
Nara Shikaku wanted to explain to Kakashi, but Kakashi only said two words: "Take it." β
Some people tried to resist, but Kakashi personally intervened and killed them directly with a thunderbolt.
The rest of the people looked at the three of them in unison.
Before Nara Shikaku could recover from the shock, Kakashi repeated the order again: "Take it." β
As his words fell, the subordinates who had stopped because of the accident just now stepped forward again and directly took down everyone, including Nara Shikahisa.
Nara Shikaku didn't dare to resist, he knew Kakashi's strength, and at this time, Kakashi alone could take down all three of them.
And he could see that Kakashi was going to get serious.
I don't understand why Kakashi really messes around like crazy, but as Sarutobi expected, he's a smart guy and he can't get out of it.
After everyone's chakra was sealed, Kakashi said two more words: "Raid the house." β
Nara Shikahisa's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he couldn't have known what these two words meant to them as great ninjas.
Since the Warring States period, the wealth they have accumulated for hundreds of thousands of years has been lost.
Nara Shikajiu regretted it, regretting how he was blinded by that little immediate interest in the first place.
Only now did he understand that there must be a premise for playing with means, that is, he must have the strength to support these means.
Originally, they were the pillars of Konoha, and they thought they had this strength.
Even if Kakashi knew what they were doing, he would turn a blind eye.
Because they always thought that Kakashi needed them.
But at this moment, Nara Shikaku realized that he was wrong, and Kakashi had another way to go.
It's a pity it's late!
The three most powerful Pig Deer Butterfly families were taken down by Kakashi, the Hokage, himself. There wasn't much of a stir on the Hyuga side.
The momentum displayed by the ape flying sun slash was equally amazing, and Hinata Hinata Hinata Foot, who was not prepared in any heart, only said a few cruel words from beginning to end.
Hinata Hinata Hinata who grew up in the greenhouse is like a helpless child when he faces the ape who turns his face directly.
The others were even smoother than this, and they all thought that Kakashi should just be acting like this, so they didn't resist.
When they were sealed and heard the word "raid", they woke up from a dream.
The process of arrest was very smooth, and in less than half a day, all the ninja children who remained in the village, regardless of men, women, and children, regardless of their strength, were escorted to a huge training ground in the shadows.
Less than twenty people were killed by Kakashi's side with a thunderbolt because of the resistance.
The patriarchs were sealed chakra, with ropes tied to their bodies, and knelt at the front of the crowd.
Nara Shikamaru and the other children were also sealed chakra and stayed in the crowd, but they didn't have ropes on them.
Nara Shikamaru knew what the clan had done, and he was not surprised by the end of the family, and his face was relatively calm.
The other Xiaoqiang is not so calm, especially Hinata Hinata. She hugged her sister Hinata Hanabi tightly, and she should be the most panicked in the crowd.
Kakashi didn't delay in the slightest, and in front of thousands of civilian ninjas, he immediately asked people to start interrogation.
After a simple trial, the crimes of corruption of these ninja children were confirmed.
Because the evidence is conclusive, in fact, many of them do not need to be tried, they only need to go through the motions.
They didn't hide anything when they were embezzling, because they never thought that the Hokage would just flip the table.
After getting everyone's crime books, Kakashi directly sentenced all those who exceeded a certain number to death with a stroke of his pen.
Then in front of thousands of civilian ninjas in Konoha, more than 100 ninja ninjas were directly executed.
Among them was the patriarch of the Moonlight Clan, who was the only one of all the patriarchs who took matters into his own hands.
In addition to the number of people who were killed for too much corruption, during their tenure, they bullied their subordinates and had the greatest public grievances, and they were also directly executed.
There are also some ninjas who died in the mission because of their unworthy talents and improper command, and they were also directly executed.
The number of these two groups is relatively small, adding up to dozens of people.
In the end, nearly ten ninja clan patriarchs, such as Sunset True Red and Inuzuka Paw, were also directly executed because they did not make too much credit to the village personally or their families.
Seeing that someone was killed, Hinata Hinata fainted very happily.
The faces of the other Xiaoqiang were also ugly, and most of them couldn't accept that their own people and even their father were found guilty by the village.
Before the matter was over, Kakashi stepped forward and personally gave the meritorious patriarchs such as Nara Shikahisa, Yamanaka Haiichi, Hinata Hinata Hizo, and Yuu Girl Shiwei a curse of the tongue.
Kakashi then scattered all the remaining ninjas and incorporated them into the Shadows and Regular Mission Squads.
And Kakashi said that all ninja ninjas who have committed corruption can never hold the position of squad leader or above.
Looking around, the hatred in the eyes of the civilian ninjas around me finally disappeared a little.
While Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he continued, "All the assets of the ninja clan have been confiscated. β
"From the time I became the Hokage until now, all civilian ninjas who have sacrificed or been disabled for the village have received a pension."
"All civilian ninjas will be re-rated first. After grading, everyone can get a reward according to their rank. β
"Among them, the lower ninja can get one A-level task and ten B-level tasks, and can learn five C-level ninjutsu."
"Nakashinobi can be paid ten A-rank quests and can learn three B-rank ninjutsu."
"Shangnin can get three S-rank missions and ten A-class mission rewards, and can learn two A-level ninjutsu and five B-rank ninjutsu."
"Elite Shangninjutsu can get ten S-class mission rewards, five A-level ninjutsu, and one S-class ninjutsu."
"Also, all the secret techniques of the ninja clan are open to everyone! It's just that you need to put the seal back in your mind. β
Everyone listened quietly to what Kakashi had to say, but as Kakashi spoke, the civilian ninja's breathing became rapid.
Kakashi gave a lot, many times more than what Nara Shikaku and they lost when they covered the sky with one hand.
Especially the trick of sharing the secret art of the ninja clan, it can buy people's hearts too much! Ninja ninjas are generally stronger than civilian ninjas because they have secret arts.
And these secret techniques are often difficult to entangle.
And the sealed ninja children were breathing even heavier, and there was no doubt that Kakashi was being generous to them.
The embezzlement alone is not enough to pay for these huge rewards.
But if you add the accumulation of hundreds or even thousands of years of these ninja clans, it will be enough.
Kakashi said, "Miyo, Kai, Kosuke,...... You are responsible for assessing the strength of all civilian ninjas, and now you will do so, and for each of them, you will register and receive a corresponding reward. β
"Time is urgent, so you'd better think about what ninjutsu you need in advance."
Then, right in front of Kakashi, one by one, the civilian ninjas began to evaluate the ninja level and receive the corresponding rewards.
The reason why the ninja level is to be reassessed is because when Nara Shikaku and others were in power, many civilian ninjas who should have been promoted were suppressed.
When they are paid, they will leave the Shadows and be replaced by other civilian ninjas who have not received them.
This process was not fast, and it lasted for more than two days before everyone's ninja level was re-evaluated.
