In Konoha, I collected corpses on the battlefield for ten years

Qifeng stood up slowly with a smile.

"These two boxes, the two advisors should be very familiar with, because they were found in your homes."

He walked to the two boxes and opened them.

They were full of money and some valuable items.

And when these two boxes were opened, the entire conference room was in an uproar.

"Sorry for not getting the consent of the two of you. My people have roughly estimated that each box contains about 120 million taels."

One hundred and twenty million taels!

You should know that even after completing some difficult S-rank missions, the reward is only a few million taels, rarely exceeding ten million.

"I'm very curious. The two advisors have been staying in Konoha, neither doing missions nor leaving the village, 'diligently' doing the work of advisors. Your monthly salary is probably hundreds of thousands of taels, definitely a high-paying job in Konoha.

But how did you two scrape together this 120 million taels with a salary of only hundreds of thousands of taels? Hmm?!"

With the final "hmm" snorted from his nose, Qifeng's terrifying chakra surged out, causing everyone in the conference room to show horrified expressions. Those with slightly weaker strength were even directly scared off their chairs.

Terrifying!

Just like the terrifying aura created by Tobirama Senju raising a finger when Orochimaru resurrected the four Hokage of Konoha in the original story.

In fact, Qifeng's current strength has already surpassed Tobirama Senju. Coupled with the Nine-Tails, his aura is even more terrifying, and many cracks appeared in the walls.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya were both shocked.

They knew that Qifeng's strength was very strong now, but they didn't expect that he was already so strong. Just the aura alone made them feel like they needed to take out their weapons to resist.

The most miserable were naturally Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, who were directly facing Qifeng's aura. Their faces were pale, and they couldn't say a word as they slumped to the ground.

Finally.

Qifeng slowly restrained his aura and said calmly: "After investigation, I found that the two advisors have been receiving bribes from Danzo, the former head of Root, for a long time, deducting money from the hard-earned money of Konoha residents. Even in this distribution of compensation, the two of you had the idea of tampering with it.

How dare you?"

His words were the truth, and no one doubted it.

Most of the people present cast disgusted and contemptuous glances at the two.

Konoha had survived such a big crisis, but they didn't expect that these two advisors had embezzled so much money.

"Take them away."

Qifeng waved his hand.

"Yes!"

The four Root ninjas who had just brought the boxes immediately responded.

"Wait, wait..." Homura Mitokado kept shouting.

"Hiruzen! Hiruzen! Considering how many years we have contributed to Konoha..." Koharu Utatane knew that the only person who could save them now was Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Nonsense."

Qifeng raised his palm, and two fierce streams of chakra struck the two of them, directly slamming them heavily against the wall.

"Hiruzen..." Hiruzen Sarutobi almost subconsciously opened his mouth.

"What? Third Hokage, do you want to protect them?" Qifeng asked indifferently.

"I!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Danzo was already dead. If even Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were taken away, then he would really become a lonely person.

But things had come to this point, and he couldn't think of a way to protect the two, even though he also hated their behavior from the bottom of his heart.

"Take them away! Investigate whether they have hidden any more money and execute them according to Konoha's laws. All this money will be added to Konoha's treasury."

"Yes!"

The four Root ninjas supported the two and took them away directly in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi and a group of high-level officials.

Qifeng glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi and saw that his expression was still very unsightly, and he sighed silently.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who entered the post-Third Hokage era, was too nostalgic, too indecisive, and too suspicious.

"The Third Hokage is old. I suggest he enjoy his later years. What do you all think?"

He looked around, but no one dared to meet his eyes.

But everyone understood.

This is...

He really wants to become the Fifth Hokage!

Is even the Third Hokage going to be directly hollowed out?

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared blankly at Qifeng, not expecting things to change so quickly.

And what made it even more difficult for him to accept were the words of the others in the office.

"The Third Hokage has contributed enough to Konoha. It's time for him to rest. I still maintain my original view and suggest that Jonin Qifeng Sarutobi become the Fifth Hokage!" Fugaku Uchiha was the first to stand up again.

But this time was different from before. Voices of agreement appeared one after another.

"I agree. Jonin Qifeng Sarutobi is fully qualified and capable of serving as Hokage," Hiashi Hyuga said.

Shikaku Nara: "Seconded."

Choza Akimichi: "Seconded."

Inoichi Yamanaka: "Seconded."

Shibi Aburame: "Seconded."

"Seconded."

...

Almost everyone expressed their opinions, except for Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya.
