Konoha.
In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen was sorting some documents.
"Hokage-sama…there's something wrong with Uchiha Tsuki of the Uchiha clan."
An Anbu ninja appeared in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head, frowned slightly, and said, "What?"
"Uchiha Yue accepted a mission and left the village, heading south... but suddenly news came that his traces were found in the north."
"Um?!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly fell silent.
It was obvious that Uchiha Yue had made a big circle and ran to the north.
What does he want to do?
The North...yes, the North!!
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly woke up.
Ishigami's mission is in the north!
"Damn it! Did the Uchiha clan throw a smoke bomb?!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes instantly revealed a blaze of rage.
It is well known that the Uchiha clan and Ishigami are not on good terms.
When Ishigami left the village and went to the north to carry out a mission with the perennial Genin Might Dai, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that the Uchiha clan must be causing trouble.
Later, Sarutobi Hiruzen learned that four Chunins from the Uchiha clan had formed a team and were going to the north to carry out another mission.
So Sarutobi Hiruzen secretly dispatched the Anbu to track the four-man Uchiha team and suppress them directly if necessary.
I thought nothing was wrong.
But unexpectedly, the Uchiha clan was just playing a smokescreen.
The team of four Chunins was here to deceive him, and their target was not Ishigami at all.
Uchiha Yue, who went south, made a big circle and then ran to the north, is the real ruthless man of the Uchiha clan, and his target is Ishigami!
Uchiha Yue, a jonin of Konoha.
There was once a record of killing two enemy village ninjas!
Even ordinary elite jonin dare not underestimate Uchiha Yue in the slightest.
If such a person were to attack Ishigami, it would be a fatal blow, leaving him with no chance of survival.
"It's too late to stop it... Uchiha clan, very good, very good."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, and the anger in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a cold chill.
Ever since Ishigami killed Uchiha Han and revealed his almost monstrous talent, Sarutobi Hiruzen has stated that no one can touch Ishigami, especially the Uchiha clan.
But this time, the Uchiha clan dared to choose to do so at all costs, and would rather slap Sarutobi Hiruzen in the face than kill Ishigami.
This is what makes Sarutobi Hiruzen angry!
It seems that compared to Ishigami, he, the Hokage, is not that important?
Just to kill Ishigami, you can tease him, the Hokage? !
Since things are now irreversible, Sarutobi Hiruzen simply wants to let the Uchiha clan know what the Hokage represents in Konoha Village!
"Pass it to me, Captain of the Konoha Guard!"
After taking a deep breath, Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone became extremely cold.
"yes."
The Anbu nodded and disappeared.
Soon, Uchiha Kageyama arrived at the Hokage's office.
His expression was very calm, as if he had foreseen all this.
Since he dared to plot against Sarutobi Hiruzen and kill Ishigami at all costs, he must have been prepared long ago.
In the Hokage's office, there were only Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Kageyama.
The atmosphere was filled with a sense of oppression, as if a storm was about to come.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not accuse anyone angrily. Instead, he poured a cup of tea calmly and drank it slowly.
And Uchiha Kageyama was also very patient, just standing there watching.
But the atmosphere in the field became increasingly depressing.
By the time Sarutobi Hiruzen finished his tea and gently placed the cup on the table, the atmosphere in the room had become as heavy as the abyss.
"I heard that Uchiha Yue went on a mission."
"yes."
"Well, it's great that the Uchiha clan is doing their best for Konoha."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded gently, then suddenly changed the subject and said, "I heard that your son, Uchiha Fugaku, is extremely talented and now possesses a three-magatama Sharingan."
These words made Uchiha Kageyama's eyes suddenly flash with a hint of sharpness.
But he calmed down immediately.
"Yes, I'm ready to let him take my place, but he's still very young and needs more experience."
"Well, it's good to gain some experience. How about letting him join the Anbu for a while?"
"That's not necessary, Hokage-sama." Uchiha Kageyama looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen calmly and said lightly, "A few days ago, I discovered something..."
As he spoke, Uchiha Kageyama placed a scroll on the table in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at him without saying anything, but he felt a chill in his heart.
Is this the confidence that the Uchiha clan has in facing his anger?
What's in the scroll?
Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the scroll, opened it gently, and then his pupils shrank slightly.
"What a big deal…is it worth it?!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke softly without beating around the bush.
"The Uchiha clan must not have any stains on it. Hokage-sama should understand this. This is not for a certain person, but for the reputation of the clan."
Uchiha Kageyama raised his head slightly and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The Uchiha clan was actually not afraid of what Ishigami could do to them.
Even if he grows up, so what? Uchiha has never been afraid of anyone.
The real purpose is actually to tell everyone in Konoha that not everyone can mess with the Uchiha clan!
This is the momentum and face of a clan.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent.
Uchiha Kageyama has already made his stance clear, and even vaguely told him that if this doesn't work... their Uchiha clan will leave Konoha!
If it were under normal circumstances, if Sarutobi Hiruzen encountered such a tough attitude, he would have used an even tougher attitude to suppress it.
If you dare to leave, I will kill you!
But not now.
The Second Ninja World War is imminent.
The three major ninja villages have almost wiped out the surrounding small ninja villages and are gradually converging towards the country at the junction of the three countries... the Rain Country.
No matter how you look at it, this battle is inevitable.
If we break off relations with the Uchiha clan now, the price we will pay will be too high.
"Very good, very good."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said "very good" twice in a row, then put the scroll away.
Seeing this scene, Uchiha Kageyama's mouth corners slightly raised.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. I still have things to deal with."
After saying this, Uchiha Kageyama turned around and prepared to leave without waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen to respond.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked coldly at Uchiha Kageyama's back, without saying a word or stopping him.
But just when Uchiha Kageyama walked to the door, a ninja suddenly opened the door and walked in.
"Hokage-sama, something's wrong!"
"What's going on?!"
There seemed to be a hint of anger in Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone.
"An elite force from the Hidden Mist Village has infiltrated the Land of Fire. Leading them is the renowned Jonin of the Hidden Mist Village, Hozuki Muzuki."
"You're so brave!" Sarutobi Hiruzen was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. He snorted coldly and was ready to dispatch the Anbu directly.
Uchiha Kageyama shook his head slightly, too lazy to pay attention to things that had nothing to do with him, and prepared to walk out of the Hokage's office.
