"Since the Mountain Clan Chief has promised to resign from his position if the investigation is not completed, it shows that the Mountain Clan Chief is not the kind of person who would endlessly yield to Konoha for the sake of his position as clan chief."
"What if it really is a conspiracy by other ninja villages?"
Uchiha Sangoku used his position as clan head as collateral to quell the situation.
Luo Sha's expression was rather unpleasant.
Once the Uchiha problem is resolved, it means there will be no internal strife within Konoha. Without internal strife, the Konoha ninja stationed on the border of the Land of Wind will inevitably take action against Sunagakure.
That was precisely the purpose for which those ninjas were stationed there.
"This Uchiha Sangoku also seems to know about Konoha's plans against Sunagakure."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have deliberately emphasized this recent period."
"Are they all eyeing my Sand Village covetously, wanting to devour it and drink its blood?"
Rasa turned around and left the council hall with the angry Uchiha.
"Then I'll proceed according to my plan."
Back in his study at home, Uchiha San'gao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"It has finally been somewhat calmed down."
Fugaku Uchiha couldn't help but ask a question.
"Father, if those things are true, are we doing the wrong thing?"
"wrong?"
Uchiha San'gaku glanced at Uchiha Fugaku.
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"Question the Hokage about the rumors about Senior Kagami?"
"Make Konoha admit that someone betrayed our Uchiha clan ninja?"
"Using the entire Uchiha clan to put pressure on Konoha?"
Fugaku Uchiha was taken aback.
Uchiha Sangoku continued.
"Regardless of whether those things are true or false, the way I'm handling it now is the best for the Uchiha."
"If we follow their ideas, internal strife will inevitably break out. What will become of us Uchiha then?"
"Who can bear this responsibility?"
"The best way to deal with this is to quell it. As for what happens next, if those things are true, I will find a way to use them to get back the benefits that the family deserves."
"Even if it's true, we absolutely cannot break ties with Konoha, otherwise there will be no room for maneuver."
"in addition."
"Are you aware that Konoha is currently facing a great opportunity?"
Fugaku Uchiha shook his head.
Uchiha Sangoku said.
"Sunagakure rejected Kirigakure's peace terms, and Kirigakure launched a fierce attack on Sunagakure. This time, Konoha has a real chance to get a share of the spoils."
"That would be a huge profit, and we Uchiha would also benefit from it."
"Go back and rest, Fugaku. You haven't slept since yesterday."
Fugaku Uchiha got up and walked outside.
Before long, he returned to his small courtyard.
A figure approached Fugaku Uchiha; it was Fugaku Uchiha's wife, Mikoto Uchiha. At the door, a three-year-old boy looked over.
Good morning, Father.
Fugaku Uchiha nodded slightly.
Good morning, Itachi.
Then she looked at Uchiha Mikoto.
"Mikoto, please prepare a set of clothes for me. I'll take a shower before I go to sleep."
"good."
Fugaku Uchiha lay on the bed, with the doors and windows tightly closed.
Even though he hadn't closed his eyes for more than a day, Fugaku Uchiha still couldn't fall asleep.
His eyes were wide open, filled with confusion.
"Father's idea is that even if those things are true, they absolutely cannot be made public, otherwise it will lead to a complete falling out with Konoha and cause internal strife, which the Uchiha cannot bear."
"But what's the point of just making up for some losses afterward?"
Where is the justice in this?
"Because of fear, you keep compromising?"
"What if Konoha goes even further in the future?"
"Does the Uchiha always have to back down and let Konoha bully them, then get some compensation and be smug, thinking the matter is over?"
"Did Father really do this for the sake of the Uchiha clan?"
"Is it, as those people say, for his position as the head of the Uchiha clan?"
Hokage Building.
Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the report from the Anbu ninja.
"I didn't expect that Uchiha Sangoku would still have some of the Will of Fire. He used his position as clan leader to quell the incident and prevent it from developing into the worst possible situation."
"In that case, we can make a move on Sunagakure."
But just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to give the order...
Sudden.
A loud sound rang out in front of the Hokage Building.
"Lord Hokage, I am Uchiha Tong. I have a few questions and hope you can answer them."
"First, the letter from the Cloud Village ninja says that Senior Kagami was betrayed by you, Hokage-sama, and the Second Hokage. I want to know if this is true, and how Senior Kagami actually died back then?"
"when?"
"At whose hands will I die?"
"Where did you die?"
"Secondly, Uchiha Tae and Uchiha Itsuki were betrayed by their teammates on the battlefield. How should they be punished for this? When will Konoha give them justice?"
"Why hasn't a relevant investigation been conducted yet?"
"besides."
"Are we Uchiha considered members of Konoha?"
All eyes turned to them.
Inside the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face instantly darkened as he looked at the Anbu ninja opposite him.
"Is this what you meant by Uchiha San'gaku having calmed things down?"
The ANBU ninja lowered his head, not daring to speak.
Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly began to think about how to deal with the situation in order to minimize the subsequent impact.
But for the time being, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't come up with an answer.
"Have Uchiha Yamagata send someone to take him away!"
"Yes, Lord Hokage."
The ANBU ninjas who had already approached immediately retreated.
Another ANBU ninja arrived at the Uchiha clan's base at an extremely fast speed.
"Senior Mountain..."
At that moment, Uchiha Sangoku's expression changed.
"That Uchiha Tong!"
Uchiha Sangoku cursed angrily.
"Going to the Hokage Building and questioning the Hokage in front of so many people, has this guy gone mad? It's one thing for him to be crazy, but he's dragging the entire Uchiha clan down with him!"
"How am I supposed to clean up this mess?"
Soon, two Uchiha arrived in front of the Hokage Building.
"Uchiha Tong, on the orders of the clan leader, we are taking you back to the Uchiha camp."
Luo Sha did not resist, which was exactly what Luo Sha wanted.
The first step has been completed, and the second step will be completed within the Uchiha compound.
"Lord Hokage, that Uchiha Tong has been taken away."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, but his brows remained furrowed.
Originally, he was going to give orders to Yuhi Shinku to attack Sunagakure, but this interruption made him hesitate.
Just then.
A figure rushed into the Hokage's office.
"Hiruzen, these Uchiha have gone too far. They actually dared to come to the Hokage Building and spout nonsense. They're too audacious. Leave this matter to me, how about it?"
