#199 - The end of an era! The genocide! Thousands of ninjas killed!
Although the new generation of ninjas are completely clueless about those old, stale stories from decades ago and have no understanding of them.
After all, in the ninja school now, these new students learn from the day they enter that the Third Hokage is the strongest Hokage of all time.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, this Third Hokage, took over a mess from the Second Hokage and then gradually developed Konoha into the strongest ninja village in the ninja world.
It's just that what they learn from the ninja school has a huge deviation from reality, and when reality clashes with the knowledge instilled in them, Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the core of all contradictions, naturally becomes the focus of everyone's attention.
Faced with Luo Fu's series of questions, Hiruzen Sarutobi wished he had simply died at Luo Fu's hands just now.
That way, at the very least, he could have earned a good name for sacrificing himself for Konoha. Even if he couldn't be considered a hero, he would at least be considered a sacrifice for Konoha, right?
Unlike now, being questioned by Luo Fu with this series of unexplainable questions.
Compared to ordinary civilian ninjas, or those from extremely declining families, like Kakashi Hatake.
The clan ninjas, however, silently retreated to the side.
These clan ninjas, perhaps due to various reasons, did not dare to directly oppose the Third Hokage.
But when Luo Fu launched a questioning attack against Hiruzen Sarutobi, these clan ninjas, especially the clan heads, felt a sense of impending doom.
This is a contest between Luo Fu, the victim of the Uchiha clan, and Hiruzen Sarutobi, the perpetrator, a contest they are not qualified to participate in at all.
Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi did not speak for a long time, Luo Fu sneered, "What? You're not going to tell me that you, as the Hokage, are completely unaware of these things, are you?"
A hint of determination flashed in his mind. At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly made up his mind that he could only make Danzo Shimura suffer. Anyway, Danzo's reputation is already so black that it can't be washed clean, so he might as well let him bear all the blame.
Sacrificing a Danzo and cutting off his own tail to survive might not be enough to save the Sarutobi clan.
Having made a decision, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly revealed a sorrowful expression, his brow full of melancholy, and said, "I… I was indeed incompetent in managing my subordinates. I just kept choosing to compromise because of the bonds between former comrades, and in the end… that's what caused a series of tragedies."
Luo Fu instantly understood that Hiruzen Sarutobi was trying to push everything onto Danzo Shimura.
It's just that Danzo Shimura deserves to die, but Hiruzen Sarutobi is equally unforgivable.
Whether standing from the perspective of the Uchiha clan, who founded Konoha Village, or the Senju clan, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, this Konoha F4 combination, are all guilty of ten thousand deaths!
In the process of speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi kept observing Luo Fu's expression, but Luo Fu's unwavering expression made Hiruzen Sarutobi increasingly unsure of how much Luo Fu knew about the past.
With a resolute heart, Hiruzen Sarutobi braced himself and said, "All of this was done by Danzo Shimura behind my back. However, no matter what, I hope that Danzo's sins can be forgiven."
Completely unaware that he had become Hiruzen Sarutobi's scapegoat, Danzo Shimura's heart was filled with gratitude for Hiruzen Sarutobi at this moment, even believing that Hiruzen Sarutobi was still trying his best to protect him at this time.
It can only be said that among the Konoha F4, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the one with the strongest sense of existence, is thoroughly bad for Konoha, but very smart, while Danzo Shimura is truly both bad and stupid, but still has a bit of self-awareness.
"I admit that I did all of this, but everything I did was for Konoha, for the village. Even if I am condemned by thousands of people, I still have nothing to defend. The Hokage is the leaf under the sunlight, and I am the root in the darkness. Everything I do is not for myself."
Even at this time, Danzo Shimura was still full of righteous indignation.
Or rather, Danzo himself has firmly believed in this statement. He truly believes that everything he has done is for the village.
Even the point that he would inevitably lead Konoha to become stronger after becoming Hokage has become increasingly firm in Danzo Shimura's heart over so many years of unwillingness.
Danzo's foolish behavior made Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but give Danzo a thumbs up in his heart.
Of course, on the surface, Hiruzen Sarutobi still looked pained and ashamed.
But little did they know that the actions of Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi, one actively taking the blame and the other hypocritically expressing guilt.
Completely shattered the values of many Konoha ninjas present.
"Third Hokage, then… then my father."
If you want to say who was the most deceived among these ninjas, Kakashi Hatake may not be able to take the lead, but it is certain that he is definitely a strong candidate.
In fact, back then, Sakumo Hatake relied on his powerful swordsmanship to even reach the level of Super Kage.
Even the major ninja villages issued orders that if they encountered Sakumo Hatake during a mission, abandoning the mission would not be considered a failure. This shows Sakumo Hatake's deterrent power to other ninja villages.
But even so, such a powerful ninja was forced to death by rumors after a mission failure.
Kakashi, who had been educated in the ninja school since childhood, was completely confused.
According to the Will of Fire, Sakumo Hatake's actions were undoubtedly correct, but abandoning the mission caused Sakumo Hatake to become condemned by thousands of people.
The young Kakashi couldn't tell right from wrong at all.
Even now, this question still has no answer. Although Kakashi accepted the idea that people who abandon their companions are worse than trash because of Obito's sacrifice, Kakashi himself was completely useless.
After all, cherishing companions is the reason why Kakashi's father, Sakumo Hatake, was forced to death.
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked ashamed, as if he had no face to face Kakashi's question, lowered his eyes, and said, "It was my fault. If I could have noticed Sakumo's state of mind back then, he wouldn't have chosen such an extreme approach."
Clearly, he had doubts in his mind, but at this moment, Kakashi still subconsciously chose to believe Hiruzen Sarutobi.
In fact, the ninja school's almost brainwashing education for the new generation has formed a kind of invisible cage in their hearts. That deeply ingrained idea is like a thought seal.
The good show in front of him made Luo Fu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hiruzen Sarutobi, then can you tell me, what kind of mission did Sakumo Hatake accept back then? And what losses did it bring to the village? Faced with his situation, what is the correct choice for a ninja to make?"
Between companions and missions, what should a ninja choose?
If both are wrong, then there will inevitably be a choice like Kakashi Hatake's.
Treating companions as burdens and simply abandoning them is almost questioning the foundation of Konoha.
The Will of Fire is the political correctness of Konoha that does not allow any slander.
Cherishing companions is one of the most obvious conditions of the Will of Fire.
But if you abandon the mission for the sake of your companions, you will encounter the same situation as Sakumo Hatake.
Such a dilemma, if it weren't for the fact that Konoha ninjas have been brainwashed by ninja school education since childhood, I'm afraid that many people would have started to think about how to choose between missions and companions.
Kakashi Hatake couldn't care about thinking more at this time. The problem of Luo Fu is exactly where his many years of incomprehensible confusion lies.
You know, in fact, Kakashi Hatake accepted the idea of valuing companions because of Obito, but in fact, his companions almost all died because of him.
Even Rin Nohara was directly pierced through the heart by Kakashi Hatake's Lightning Blade.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had no way to answer this question.
After all, abandoning companions means betraying the Will of Fire, and abandoning the mission is almost equivalent to proving that he forced Sakumo Hatake to death back then.
Just when Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know what to do.
Danzo Shimura is worthy of being the "Pot Shadow". At this time, he took the blame without hesitation.
"I did this thing." At this moment, Danzo Shimura not only didn't have any guilt, but instead looked proud and said, "Sakumo Hatake's existence has seriously threatened the village. He must be suppressed. It's just that even I didn't expect that the dignified Konoha White Fang's heart would be so fragile. It's just a little bit of villagers' accusations, but he actually ended his life in such an extreme way."
"Danzo."
At this moment, Kakashi Hatake's eyeballs were filled with bloodshot eyes because of anger, as if they were glowing with a bloody halo.
Accompanied by a burst of chirping, as if countless birds were chirping, lightning flashed in Kakashi Hatake's hand.
He lunged towards Danzo Shimura.
But in that instant, an invisible force appeared out of nowhere, firmly binding Danzo Shimura in place, rendering him unable to move even a bit. Even when, in this desperate situation, he wanted to use the Uchiha clan's forbidden technique, Izanagi, to escape this calamity, he discovered in despair that the Sharingan implanted in his body seemed to be beyond his control.
Pfft.
Before everyone's eyes, Kakashi Hatake's Lightning Blade easily pierced through the heart of the village elder and Root leader, Danzo Shimura.
But at this time, apart from the Root ninjas, no one mourned Danzo's death.
Danzo Shimura had long been a figure deeply loathed by the various clans in the village.
His death could be said to be greatly satisfying.
How many people wished Danzo Shimura would die even more painfully.
"Danzo!" Hiruzen Sarutobi cried out in grief, but compared to being saddened by Danzo's death, he had more important things to deal with at the moment.
That was, how could he ensure the Sarutobi clan's safe retreat?
It had to be admitted that Danzo's death did indeed help Hiruzen Sarutobi shoulder a lot of blame, and even many problems could no longer be attributed to Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage.
But unfortunately, Hiruzen Sarutobi was too tainted; even with Danzo voluntarily taking the blame, he still couldn't clear his name.
And the culprit who had just caused Danzo Shimura to be unable to move, and even unable to use the forbidden Sharingan technique Izanagi, was none other than Luo Fu.
For Luo Fu, whether it was Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, or even Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, they were all just ants that could be crushed at will.
If it weren't to ensure that Tsunade could rightfully become the Hokage of Konoha, Luo Fu could have directly crushed them to death.
It just so happened that Konoha F4 had too much blame to bear. Danzo Shimura took the lion's share and died, so let Hiruzen Sarutobi bear the rest.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi," Luo Fu looked at the former Third Hokage with a smile that was not a smile: "As the Hokage, you can't be ignorant, right? All the bad things were done by Danzo Shimura? Then what's the point of your existence as the Hokage? The strongest Hokage, haven't you explained why the Senju clan disappeared in such a short time after you took office, the clan that established Konoha? Even Senju Nawaki, who died on the battlefield, had his internal organs emptied out."
It had to be admitted that the disappearance of the Senju clan was indeed a blame that Hiruzen Sarutobi could not get rid of.
As the Hokage, after he took office, in a short period of time, the ninja clan that had been passed down for thousands of years was reduced to only Tsunade, a single seedling.
Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi pushed all of this to Danzo, he still couldn't wash away his failure to save them. More importantly, the Senju clan not only established Konoha, but the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was also Hiruzen Sarutobi's teacher, who held off the enemy in a crisis and passed the Hokage position to him.
Under such kindness, Hiruzen Sarutobi was able to watch the Senju clan perish. Tell me, who would dare to believe that Hiruzen Sarutobi is really a white lotus?
On the issue of the Senju clan, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no way to argue.
Whether it was ignorance or acquiescence, the former proved the incompetence of his so-called strongest Hokage, while the latter exposed his meanness and ingratitude.
When Luo Fu questioned Hiruzen Sarutobi about the Senju clan, Tsunade, who had just left, returned to Luo Fu's side at some point.
With a faint sigh, Tsunade looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a complex expression and said: "Teacher, commit suicide, don't tarnish the position of Hokage anymore."
Tsunade's words completely confirmed Hiruzen Sarutobi's ruthlessness.
He probably knew that he had reached the end of his road.
Hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi showed a relieved expression, and looked at Tsunade with guilt: "Tsunade, it's your teacher who is sorry for you, sorry for the Senju, sorry for the Uzumaki clan, and sorry for Teacher Tobirama!"
At the moment when the words fell, he suddenly pulled out a kunai, and Hiruzen Sarutobi pierced through his heart without hesitation.
He reluctantly took one last look at the dilapidated Hokage Rock.
Because of the battle between Luo Fu and the future Naruto and Sasuke just now, the entire village was destroyed by seventy or eighty percent. The Hokage Rock only had half of the First Hokage and a small half of the Second and Fourth Hokage statues left.
On the contrary, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, was destroyed extremely thoroughly.
Watching Hiruzen Sarutobi completely lose his life.
Tsunade seemed to fall into another inexplicable complex state of mind, and did not recover for a long time.
Luo Fu, however, at the moment of Hiruzen Sarutobi's death, used invisible and intangible gravity to quietly plunder Hiruzen Sarutobi's soul without anyone noticing, not even Tsunade, who had been staring at Hiruzen Sarutobi, noticed anything.
After collecting the soul of this heavily sinful Third Hokage.
Unlike the many ninjas present who felt that an era had come to an end when they saw Hiruzen Sarutobi's death.
Although Luo Fu was indeed greatly influenced by his predecessor after awakening his memory, that was only an influence. In essence, Luo Fu was always a transmigrator's mentality.
How could he have any feelings for a person who was a source of new evil? Especially since this person was just a paper figure in his eyes before the transmigration.
At the moment of collecting Hiruzen Sarutobi's soul, Luo Fu directly looked at the many Konoha ninjas present and said loudly: "Hiruzen Sarutobi is dead, now the granddaughter of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, Tsunade Senju is about to become the Hokage, who agrees, who opposes?"
There was only a moment of silence, and after regaining their senses, many clan ninjas rushed to express their approval.
As for the dead Hiruzen Sarutobi, no one mentioned him at this moment. Except for those ninjas who were deeply brainwashed after receiving ninja school education, and who felt some loss and sadness for Hiruzen Sarutobi's death, everyone seemed to tacitly forget about this Third Hokage who had been firmly sitting in the Hokage position for thirty-one years, and was even praised as the strongest Hokage in textbooks.
Whether it was Luo Fu, Tsunade, or these Konoha ninjas, they all knew very well that even though Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura had just been nailed to the pillar of shame, the impact of this matter would end here.
In the final analysis, Hiruzen Sarutobi was Konoha's former Hokage.
This was an unquestionable and undeniable matter, and because of his identity, it also meant that Hiruzen Sarutobi's many sins could only be judged in secret.
Even including Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, who were not present.
The families of Konoha F4 would inevitably decline drastically after tonight, and might even be completely extinct, but they must never be carried out in a high-profile manner.
After all, apart from being able to vent temporary resentment, doing so would also damage the authority of Konoha itself and the Hokage position.
After this incident, Konoha quietly underwent a huge transformation. The former Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, died suddenly.
The young clan leader of the Uchiha clan, Itachi Uchiha, slaughtered his entire clan for unknown reasons, with only a few survivors.
This series of news caused an uproar in the entire ninja world.
Even the Cloud and Stone villages sent envoys to Konoha, attempting to spy on Konoha's true strength.
However, before the envoys from the Mist and Stone villages left the territories of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth, the situation in Konoha had rapidly stabilized.
The granddaughter of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, Tsunade, one of the Sannin, inherited the Hokage position and became the Fifth Hokage.
Tsunade, who had awakened the Wood Release at some point, completed the reconstruction of Konoha in a short period of time.
What made many ninja villages even more terrified was that Konoha, in addition to Tsunade Senju, also hid a Wood Release ninja named Yamato.
Back then, a single Wood Release ninja, Hashirama Senju, had earned the title of God of Shinobi.
And now, although Konoha did not know why, it had caused most of the entire village to be destroyed, the situation of two Wood Release ninjas appearing at the same time still made countless ninja villages quietly suppress the ambitions that had just arisen in their hearts.
For Konoha, at this stage, with Tsunade Senju, who had awakened Wood Release, and Luo Fu, a strong man who had defeated the future Naruto and Sasuke, there was no need to worry about the threat of foreign enemies.
Konoha's top priority was to first solve the poison left by Hiruzen Sarutobi for more than thirty years.
After becoming the Hokage and obtaining the strength not to be restrained by the two elders, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, Tsunade truly understood what Hiruzen Sarutobi had done all these years.
When she saw the number of Konoha ninjas, Tsunade was stunned.
In fact, the Sarutobi clan in the Warring States period was just an insignificant small clan.
They even needed to pledge allegiance to the Senju clan to ensure their own survival, but after Konoha was established, especially after Hiruzen Sarutobi became the Hokage, in just thirty years, the Sarutobi clan even established its own ninja army! The number even reached three thousand.
You must know that, to this day, Konoha has only registered more than 10,000 ninjas in its history.
When Naruto Uzumaki graduated from the ninja school in Konoha's sixtieth year, his number only reached 12,600.
But right now, it's Konoha year 55, which means that five years later, the serial number will only reach over 12,600. Currently, it's just barely surpassing 10,000.
The Sarutobi clan alone actually has a ninja force reaching the number of three thousand.
In terms of quantity, the Sarutobi clan's ninjas almost account for half of Konoha's active ninjas.
Seeing such a reality, it's no wonder that even Tsunade couldn't help but angrily smash the table, wishing she could resurrect Hiruzen Sarutobi and torture him to vent her anger.
"Three thousand Sarutobi ninjas, what a Sarutobi ninja force," Tsunade gritted her teeth as she looked at the many Jonin in front of her.
At this moment, the ninjas standing in front of Tsunade were all Jonin who truly held power in Konoha.
If it were during the village's early establishment, they would even have the legal right to elect the Hokage, and even impeach the Hokage.
However, the ninja world is ultimately a world where great power belongs to the individual.
The power granted in principle only had some effect at the beginning due to the checks and balances between the Senju and Uchiha clans. By the time Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage, came to power, this rule was just a fig leaf.
When it came to Hiruzen Sarutobi, he almost had that fig leaf torn off.
Tsunade took a deep breath, knowing that the Sarutobi family was enriching themselves at the expense of the village. She couldn't blame the Jonin in front of her. Didn't they see that even the Uzumaki and Senju clans had been tricked to death? If it weren't for another Luo Fu appearing in the Uchiha clan, it was likely that only Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha would be left.
But after truly understanding Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions, Tsunade's yearning for the Hokage position completely dissipated.
"What do you think should be done with the Sarutobi family's three thousand ninjas? And what should be done with the Shimura, Mito, and Utatane clans?" Tsunade pinched her aching brow and asked the Jonin.
At this moment, in the Hokage's office, besides Tsunade, the Hokage, and the many Jonin, Luo Fu was naturally also present.
The Sarutobi clan was, after all, the family of the Third Hokage.
Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi's golden image had collapsed, for the sake of the entire Konoha's reputation, Hiruzen Sarutobi's series of despicable acts could not be made public.
This also caused the Sarutobi family's three thousand ninjas to become a difficult problem to deal with.
If these so-called three thousand ninjas were not very strong, then they could be dealt with silently.
Don't think that ninjas are some glorious existence. On the contrary, no matter how they are praised, the essence of ninjas will not change.
But unfortunately, the three thousand ninjas almost reached half of the active ninjas. With Konoha's strength, it was almost impossible to complete the internal processing silently.
This was what gave Tsunade a headache.
After a moment of hesitation, Nara Shikaku, acting as the strategist, finally spoke, "Hokage-sama, if we let Luo Fu-sama take action, we only need to seal off the Sarutobi clan's residence. But if we want to deal with the Sarutobi's three thousand ninjas, then the Sarutobi family cannot be spared."
Nara Shikaku's words instantly made the many ninjas present feel a chill down their spines.
In fact, Nara Shikaku's words were a blatant reminder to everyone that they were going to exterminate the Sarutobi clan.
However, after calming down, everyone quickly realized that Nara Shikaku's proposal was simply the only way.
After all, the Sarutobi family's strength was so great that, purely in terms of the number of ninjas, it completely surpassed any other family. More importantly, would the Sarutobi family really be willing to watch Konoha eliminate three thousand ninjas?
Nara Shikaku's words made everyone start to think divergently.
It seemed that the families of Konoha F4 could not be spared.
If such a big move were made, it would almost be like Konoha voluntarily cutting off its tail to survive, killing off half of its ninja force.
It was only now that there was Luo Fu, a powerhouse so strong that he exceeded the limits of ninjas.
Otherwise, Nara Shikaku would definitely not have made such a suggestion, and these Konoha ninjas would not have had such a thought that was almost equivalent to cutting Konoha in half.
Tsunade naturally understood Nara Shikaku's meaning. If it was just dealing with a small number of ninjas, Tsunade's personality would not have hesitated at all.
But now, this was truly a decision that would hurt Konoha's bones and muscles.
Subconsciously, Tsunade looked at Luo Fu again.
Luo Fu, however, gave Nara Shikaku an approving look and said, "Konoha is already terminally ill. It is necessary to scrape the bones to remove the remaining poison of the Third Hokage! The Sarutobi, Shimura, Utatane, and Mito clans are already tumors attached to Konoha Village. If you want to revitalize Konoha, these four clans must not be left behind."
With Luo Fu, a pillar of strength, Tsunade didn't have to worry about the possible consequences of clearing out the Konoha F4 families.
Even if they were still in the midst of the ninja war, with Luo Fu in charge, Tsunade dared to eliminate the so-called Konoha F4 families.
In fact, with Luo Fu, a powerhouse who was almost off the charts, it was enough to take on the five major ninja villages alone.
Not to mention a little hidden danger.
Taking a deep breath, a determined look flashed in Tsunade's eyes, and she said, "Okay, we'll take action tonight. Each family will be responsible for sealing off the Sarutobi, Shimura, Utatane, and Mito families, and make sure not to let one go."
Since it had been decided to exterminate the clan, of course, the action had to be thorough, and ninjas were quite good at this.
During the Warring States Period, countless families disappeared in this way.
The only difference was that the so-called complete destruction of families during the Warring States Period would actually leave behind children and fertile women.
The former would be brainwashed into complete killing tools, while the latter would be responsible for breeding offspring for the new family. Some bloodline limit families would be usurped by other families in this way.
But after the Ninja Village Era, this kind of clan extermination rarely occurred. However, the clan extermination in the Ninja Village Era was even more thorough, and even children and fertile women who didn't understand anything would not be left behind.
In this regard, Kirigakure Village did it very decisively.
Countless bloodline limit families disappeared, leaving only one or two survivors, eventually disappearing completely with the death of the survivors.
Now, with Tsunade's order, the clan extermination plan to be implemented is the most cruel clan extermination of the Ninja Village Era.
Night fell.
The Konoha F4 families gathered at the Sarutobi family's residence.
After losing Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, the ones sitting in the main seats at this moment were Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, two old fellows who had luckily survived until now.
"Elder Utatane, Elder Mitokado."
Asuma Sarutobi frowned and kept smoking one cigarette after another. The ashtray beside him was already filled with cigarette butts.
Putting out another cigarette butt forcefully in the ashtray, Asuma Sarutobi said, "I think our current situation is very dangerous. Everyone has seen Luo Fu's strength before. Now that Tsunade has become the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, but they want to overturn all previous decisions. We should think about how to keep our families going."
"Don't worry."
Although Koharu Utatane looked worried, her tone was more about the unwillingness after losing power, and she didn't feel much of the impending disaster. "No matter what, Tsunade is Hiruzen's disciple. Moreover, Hiruzen was the Hokage for so long. Even for the sake of Konoha Village's reputation, they won't deny everything Hiruzen did. In the future, we'll just lose our previous power at most. As long as we're low-key, we don't have to worry about the continuation of our families."
"Tsunade is my father's disciple, so maybe we don't have to worry, but what about that Luo Fu?" Asuma Sarutobi frowned and said, "Seven years ago, Luo Fu chose to become a rogue ninja, and..."
His tone paused slightly, and Asuma Sarutobi said, "Moreover, Luo Fu personally saw the Uchiha clan's extermination, and he blamed it all on my father. We..."
This time, Asuma Sarutobi's words had to be interrupted.
Because a powerful chakra instantly came from outside the family's residence.
The soaring purple color instantly enveloped all directions.
Looking out the window through the window, the scene outside was immediately seen.
Homura Mitokado was immediately shocked and said, "This... this is the Four Violet Flames Formation. What... what are they trying to do?"
"That's not right."
Koharu Utatane said in great horror, "Besides us, the Four Violet Flames Formation has also been cast in other places! That's... that's our family."
Shimmering with despair in his pupils, the head of the Shimura family said with a trembling voice, "They... they are going to kill us all! They... they are going to completely exterminate our families."
