The moment the order was received, all the ninjas of the Senju clan immediately attacked the Sarutobi clan members who were celebrating below.
"Attack!"
Countless figures descended upon the Sarutobi clan in an instant. Seeing these uninvited guests suddenly appear before them, the Sarutobi clan, who were still celebrating, froze in place for an instant. This was Konoha, the strongest ninja village in the ninja world, so the Sarutobi clan didn't consider the possibility of an enemy attack. After all, no one would assault a family that just had a member become Hokage.
"Who are you?"
"Didn't you come for the banquet?"
"Is there a special mission?"
"The Second Hokage is still in the village~"
Just as everyone was wondering, the invaders brandished their ninja swords with a cold glint.
Slash!
Slash!
In a moment, with swift strokes, members of the Sarutobi clan lost their breath with expressions of shock still on their faces. Blood spilled onto the ground.
"Damn!!! It's an enemy attack!!!"
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!!!"
"What are the Uchiha doing?! How did enemies get into Konoha?!"
"Go and notify the Second Hokage!!!"
Facing the sudden onslaught, the Sarutobi clan fell into panic. Their complexions changed drastically, but due to the celebration, everyone was drunk. Their reactions were sluggish, and they were facing the elite ninjas of the Senju clan. After several rounds, there was no one left alive in the Sarutobi clan. The entire Sarutobi clan was slaughtered.
And at this moment, outside the Sarutobi clan, several Senju members supporting the barrier nodded to the Second Hokage beside them. The Second Hokage, waiting for the result, also nodded upon seeing this, yet his expression remained unchanged. For the culprit who would wipe out the Senju clan in the future, the iron-blooded Second Hokage would show no mercy.
After cleaning up the battle traces, the Second Hokage led everyone to the Shimura clan, where the outcome would be the same as the Sarutobi clan.

Meanwhile, on the way to the Hidden Cloud Village,
"Everyone, move faster!"
"We'll sign the alliance agreement as soon as possible and return to the village!"
Along the way, Sarutobi Hiruzen led the group at a brisk pace, never stopping for a moment. If they were too exhausted, they took ration pills, all in an effort to reach the signing ceremony as soon as possible.
There was no issue for the Sarutobi clan, but the ninjas of the Shimura clan, led by Danzo, were not pleased.
"Hiruzen! This pace isn't sustainable!"
"Let's take a break!"
"There's no rush!"
"The team is exhausted!"
Hearing Danzo's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was eager to return to the village and formally assume the role of Hokage, frowned suddenly. He glanced displeased at Danzo, who interrupted his pleasant daydreams.
"Did you forget the teacher's instructions?!"
"Move quickly to show our sincerity from Konoha!"
"If we delay, what will it look like?!"
Despite Sarutobi Hiruzen's explanation, Danzo didn't listen. Having been companions for a long time, Danzo knew Sarutobi Hiruzen's intentions as soon as he acted. It sounded noble now, but it was clear he wanted to return to Konoha to take the Hokage's seat as soon as possible.
But the more this happened, the more displeased Danzo became. Why should Hiruzen become Hokage? Danzo was equally capable.
"Then take your Sarutobi clan and go ahead~"
"I, and the ninjas of the Shimura clan, need to rest!"
After saying that, he ignored Sarutobi Hiruzen and stopped. Seeing this, the ninjas of the Shimura clan also stopped in their tracks. This made Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had just become the Third Hokage, instantly lose face. Looking at the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan watching him from behind, Sarutobi Hiruzen became angry instantly.
"Danzo, what do you want to do?!"
"I am the leader of this team!"
"And, I am the Third Hokage, personally appointed by the teacher!"
"If you are dissatisfied, wait until the task is over and go back to the teacher!"
"But now!"
"I order you as the Third Hokage! Keep going!!!"
Having said that, he glared at Danzo even more fiercely. At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't care about the friendship with Danzo. It was he who was on the Hokage's throne now, and Danzo had to listen to him.
Watching Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly get tough and use the Hokage's authority to suppress him, Danzo stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen with unwillingness. After a long time, it was Danzo who bowed his head first. Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered the team to move on with a blank expression. As for Danzo, although unwilling, he was helpless.
Soon, due to Sarutobi Hiruzen's urgency, the team galloped all the way and arrived at the site of the alliance ceremony ahead of schedule. But at this moment, the place of the alliance ceremony was eerily deserted. Although the venue for the alliance ceremony had been set up, there was no one there.
Seeing this scene, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help being taken aback, and Danzo quickly became vigilant.
"Hiruzen, something's wrong!"
"I know!"
Their experiences following the Second Hokage in battle told them that something was amiss. Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered the team to stand on guard, several figures quickly surrounded Sarutobi Hiruzen's team.
"Tch, I thought it would be the Second Hokage~"
"Brother, this kid is wearing a Hokage hat. It should be the new Hokage, right?"
The ones who came were the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers of the Hidden Cloud Village, along with the elite troops led by the brothers. Looking at the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers who appeared, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly felt uneasy. These two were known for their recklessness.
But thinking that this was an alliance ceremony, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but say, "I am Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage of Konoha! I'm here to sign the alliance ceremony! What do you mean, Hidden Cloud Village? Where is the Second Raikage?"
Facing Sarutobi Hiruzen's questioning, the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers suddenly looked at each other and smiled, their faces full of sarcasm.
"Alliance? Are you kidding me? Who wants to make an alliance with Konoha~"
"As for the Second Raikage, our brothers will send you to meet him right away!"
The two had just finished speaking when the surrounding Cloud Shinobi unceremoniously launched an attack on Sarutobi Hiruzen and his group. The Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers directly approached Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo. The battle started instantly.
