Something's wrong with this Hinata in Konoha

Chapter 227 Please die
Human death is generally divided into two types, one is physiological and the other is sociological.

And the two choices Hinata Inaba gave Sarutobi Hiruzen happened to correspond to the two ways of death——

Physical death, or social death!
Of course Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't want to choose either option!
"I...I am Hokage! I used to be Hokage! How could they?! I want to see Namikaze Minato, I want to see the Yondaime!"

It's not like Sarutobi Hiruzen did nothing during the days he was locked in the dungeon.

His will to survive is still very strong. He wrote more than a dozen long letters in a few days, some of which were sent to Namikaze Minato, some to Jiraiya, some to Tsunade, and some even asked a psychic beast to send them to him. For Orochimaru!

Although the psychic beast was confused after getting the letter.

You don’t even know where the recipient of the letter is, why are you asking me to deliver it?I'm afraid you are not making things difficult for me, little ape...

Not long after, the letter was delivered to Anko by accident, allowing Hyuga Inaba to fully understand Sarutobi Hiruzen's intention to seek help.

It can be said that I am very happy.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen actually never gave up on saving himself.

But Nara Shikaku's next words once again shattered his struggle.

"Senior Minato has completely taken over the Roots since you were imprisoned, and is now thoroughly investigating the Roots' collaboration with the enemy over the years. I'm afraid it's not convenient to see you at this time."

"..."

Only then did Sarutobi Hiruzen remember that he was now burdened with more than just the sin of framing White Fang!
Reversing the verdict of White Fang's death was just Kakashi's killing technique!

Before that, what had lowered his bloodline was Genbu's series of actions in the past three years, as well as his recent crimes of condoning Sarutobi Kyoyuki's illicit affair with Kumogakure!

This is the complete blow that Hinata Inaba and Kakashi have endured for three years!
They never waste output at unnecessary opportunities, or if they don't take action, they will rush to kill the enemy as soon as they take action!

Death by body or death by society, Hiruzen Sarutobi must choose one no matter what this time!
"I-I'll think about it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen persisted for a long time, and finally bent down in despair, and slowly sat back down.

Nara Shikaku continued to describe with a business-like expression.

"Then please consider it as soon as possible, Hiruzen-senpai, and make a decision as soon as possible so that you can save some dignity for yourself."

After speaking, he left without looking back.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen looked pitiful now, Nara Shikaku had no sympathy.

Because in the end, it’s all your own fault!

Why did Kakashi kill so hard this time?
It’s not because the evidence he produced is irrefutable!

If I knew today, why bother?

Soon after, the news that Sarutobi Hiruzen was still hesitant came back to the ANBU, and Hinata Inaba was not surprised.

"Heh, he's probably still waiting for Danzo outside the village to show his strength."

It's easy to guess Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts. To put it bluntly, he won't cry until he sees the coffin.

Put your hope in the Kumogakure envoy, put your hope in Minato, put your hope in Danzo!
"What should we do next?" Kakashi asked coldly in the office.

At this moment, it was rare that Kakashi didn't have a sleepy and lazy expression on his face, his eyes were terrifyingly sharp, like a sharp blade unsheathed!
Hinata Inaba understood his will and chuckled, "Since someone doesn't want to be decent, let us help him be decent."

...So the next day, someone else drove to the dungeon to visit Sarutobi Hiruzen.

This time it was no longer Nara Shikaku, but an old man from the Sarutobi clan.

When it came to seniority, Hiruzen Sarutobi had to call him uncle.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

The old man came to the cell tremblingly. As soon as he came, he knelt down and begged, "Hiruzhan, I beg you, please stop insisting and give the Sarutobi clan a way to survive?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked, "What happened?"

The uncle lay on the ground and said, "The fourth generation has been thoroughly investigating the root cause recently, and many young people in the clan have been arrested!
You lied in the past... You told them in the past that they were doing all that for the village, but now it turns out that many of those actions were aimed at the Yondaime-sama!Now those children will be labeled as traitors and ninjas!

Hiruzen, those children are the future of our Sarutobi clan!After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, we don’t have many clan members left!

And that’s not all!The Inaba elder has also recently been investigating job-related crimes in the village, and also arrested many tribesmen!
Hiruzen, the things they did in the past were all approved by you as the third generation in the past!But now the person said that those were all job crimes and embezzlement of the village's public assets!What should I do?

Hiruzen, uncle, I beg you, one person is responsible for one person's work. You did what White Fang did, just admit it, and don't implicate the family anymore. For the sake of the family, don't insist anymore, okay? "

At that moment, facing his uncle's earnest plea while lying on the ground, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt so depressed that he could hardly breathe!

Isn't this... this kind of technique what he often used on others in the past?
He has long been accustomed to standing on the moral high ground and running rampant all his life. He has always been the only one who kidnaps others due to his morality, and today, he finally tasted the feeling of being kidnapped...

No matter what he did in the past, he must firmly hold the moral high ground!
Using rumors to suppress White Fang, he said that this was for the sake of the village and for the sake of justice, and that White Fang's character was not suitable for becoming Hokage;

Using the villagers to exclude Uchiha, he also said that this was for the sake of the village and stability, and that it was all because the Uchiha clan was too extreme;
When the Kumogakure envoy kidnapped Hinata, he in turn persuaded the Hyuga clan to pay for their lives. He also said that this was for the sake of the village and for peace. How could you have the heart to destroy the hard-won peace for your own selfishness?

The result is now better. He who has been kidnapped by morality for his whole life finally got a boomerang!

Someone said to him: This is all for the family, for the future of the Sarutobi clan!

How to solve this?
He has no solution!

At this moment, he finally realized the feelings of so many victims he kidnapped back then——

Even if it was for his family, he didn't want to die!
It's a pity that this empathy came too late after all...

White Fang, Hizashi, and Uchiha, did they really want to die in the first place?They don’t want to either!

But you didn't give them a choice at the beginning, so your uncle, who is kneeling on the ground now, didn't give you a choice either.

For the sake of the family, please die!

This completely forced Hiruzen Sarutobi into a dilemma!
"me……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen clenched his fist tightly, then unclenched it, clenched it again, and unclenched it again, still unable to make up his mind.

But the old man from the Sarutobi clan just kept kneeling at the door of the cell, silent, speechless, and unable to move.

At that moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally realized how suffocating the techniques he had used all his life were!

The boomerang, as expected, only knows the pain when it hits you back!
