Chapter 233: The Lame Tobirama
"Sigh…"
Seeing Uchiha Xinyan die, both Uchiha Zhenxiong and Sarutobi Hiruzen let out long sighs, looking extremely dejected. But strangely…
The Uchiha clansmen following Uchiha Zhenxiong all had fierce looks in their eyes, as if they were hiding barely suppressed excitement!
"He actually killed Elder Xinyan!" "Great, now no one can stop our Uchiha clan anymore." "This time, this Li Jiexuan is finished!"
After a brief round of whispered chatter, the Uchiha clansmen began shouting loudly: "Murderer Li Jiexuan! Murderer Li Jiexuan!"
Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen patted his shoulder and quietly advised, "Jiexuan, let's go back first."
Once the blood cooled and Li Jiexuan gradually calmed down, he realized that from the moment Uchiha Xinyan appeared, the entire situation had been filled with the scent of conspiracy…
Uchiha Xinyan was also an Uchiha elder—it was impossible for him not to recognize Li Jiexuan. More importantly, he had barely resisted at all, even seeming to anticipate Li Jiexuan killing him!
But more importantly, it seemed he still hadn't come out of his last trial. At some point, amid the life-and-death struggles of hundreds of thousands, his personality had unknowingly grown violent…
If it were before, he would never have publicly killed Uchiha Xinyan!
More than a year in a chaotic and lawless faction had made it impossible for him to find his former self again!
Along the way, the Uchiha clansmen loudly spread the news that Li Jiexuan had brutally killed an Uchiha elder in front of everyone.
"Did you know? The hero of Konoha, Li Jiexuan, actually didn't die!" The Uchiha clansmen, seemingly well-prepared, spread the news at lightning speed.
"What? He didn't die? Then where did he go?"
"Heh, who knows? Maybe he went off somewhere to have fun." The Uchiha clansmen sneered disdainfully, which immediately drew doubt from passersby: "How could that be? Wasn't the war fought for him?"
"And when he came back, he publicly tortured and killed one of our Uchiha elders!" At this point, the Uchiha clansman gritted his teeth. "Elder Xinyan devoted his life to Konoha all these years, only to die at the hands of his own people in the end!"
Hearing these words, even those who had once admired or even liked Li Jiexuan couldn't help but turn against him, wishing they could devour his flesh alive to vent their hatred!
Listening to all this, Li Jiexuan even had the impulse to ignore everything and kill them all. Fortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped him in time…
Li Jiexuan sat blankly in the Hokage's residence, scratching his head in confusion. "Why would they do this? Even going so far as to sacrifice an elder just to smear me?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled and shook his head. "Because they want to run for Hokage…"
"Run for Hokage?"
Hearing this, Li Jiexuan's eyes widened in shock. "Could it be that Senju Tobirama is dead?"
"I'm not dead yet." Before Li Jiexuan could finish speaking, Senju Tobirama was already wheeled in by Uchiha Kagami, sitting in a wheelchair.
"What happened?"
Li Jiexuan stared in shock. The man once known as the fastest in the ninja world, Senju Tobirama, had actually become a cripple?
"During the war to break through Sunagakure, the village resisted desperately and released the One-Tail in a last-ditch attempt to drag everyone down with them." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed. "Lord Tobirama, in order to protect the village's ninja, lost both his legs…"
