The expressions of the Konoha high-level officials beside him couldn't help but change slightly. They were all Konoha bigwigs, so they could naturally understand this hint from Homura.
Tonight, the Uchiha's internal strife was about to begin!
The high-level officials all had extremely solemn expressions. They looked at each other, but didn't say anything more.
Living in this chaotic ninja world, how many of these high-ranking people were kind-hearted?
Even though some of them were quite resistant to this bloody and extreme method, they also tacitly approved of Homura's action this time.
In this extremely strange atmosphere, night quietly fell.
The leaders of the Ino-Shika-Cho clans, Hiashi Hyuga, and Jiraiya gathered outside the Hokage Building with great tacit understanding and met there.
They subconsciously looked up at the Hokage's office and found that the lights were on inside, and they all understood in their hearts.
It seemed that their guess was correct. Homura was indeed planning to eliminate the Uchiha clan tonight.
The few people then withdrew their gazes, looked at each other, and the scene was temporarily a bit quiet.
"If an internal strife really breaks out in the Uchiha clan, there may be some uncontrollable situations."
"For example, some extremely dangerous elements may retaliate by destroying the village, attacking the villagers, and so on."
"At that time, we must do our best to protect the village and protect the villagers!"
Shikaku said to the Konoha high-level officials in a deep voice.
Although Kouki Uchiha's strength was outrageously powerful, it was still an entire big clan after all.
No matter how powerful Kouki was, it was impossible for him to deal with it in three or two strokes.
At that time, it might cause unnecessary damage and destruction like the city gate catching fire and endangering the fish in the moat.
This matter had to be guarded against.
But the Uchiha clan's struggle was an internal strife, it was "naturally occurring," so neither Root nor Anbu would receive formal orders on the surface, so as not to leave traces.
Then they could only rely on these few insiders to take action secretly.
This was also the reason why they gathered here to meet.
Swoosh!
A figure flashed past, using the Body Flicker Technique to appear in the Hokage Building, and then strode into the door.
The expressions of the few Konoha high-level officials, including Shikaku Nara, were slightly stern, and they looked intently, discovering that the person who came was Shisui Uchiha.
"Lord Hokage!"
Shisui came to the office, knelt on one knee, and saluted Homura.
"Get up, Shisui." Homura put down the pipe in his hand and stood up.
After pacing around, he looked down at Shisui and asked in a deep voice, "Shisui, are you loyal enough to the village?"
Shisui raised his head, stared at Homura steadily, and said in a firm voice, "Lord Hokage, I am absolutely loyal to the village."
"If only one of the village and your Uchiha clan can exist, will you choose the village or your family?"
Homura asked again in a condensed voice.
"Lord Hokage, what do you mean by this?" Shisui was slightly startled, and his pupils shrank slightly.
"You just need to answer my question." Homura waved his hand. "You need to consider this question carefully before telling me."
Shisui was silent for a moment, and a trace of struggle appeared in his eyes.
Since he knew that Kouki was that mysterious Uchiha person and had killed the Third Hokage, he understood that the conflict between the village and the clan was irreconcilable.
He was afraid that one day the two would face each other head-on.
But he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly, and Konoha was really planning to take action against the Uchiha clan.
But that trace of struggle quickly calmed down, and Shisui's voice sounded calm: "Lord Hokage, the Uchiha clan is also a part of the village. The village comes first, then the family!"
"If the village and the Uchiha clan really can't coexist, I will choose the village!"
Shisui's voice wasn't loud, but it was full of power.
"If it's for the village, are you willing to sacrifice your own life?" Homura asked again.
"Lord Hokage, if the village really needs my sacrifice, I am willing," Shisui answered without hesitation.
"Very good, Shisui, I didn't misjudge you." Homura nodded with satisfaction. "Then next, go and call Kouki Uchiha over."
Shisui immediately took the order and left.
Not long after, he returned to the Uchiha clan territory and brought Kouki to the Hokage's office again.
"It's Kouki Uchiha!"
The expressions of the few Konoha high-level officials outside the Hokage Building all became stern, and they immediately perked up two hundred percent.
Since Homura had called Kouki over, it meant that the storm was about to come.
They had to be prepared to put away their clothes!
"Lord Hokage!"
"Lord Hokage!"
Inside the Hokage's office, Kouki and Shisui saluted Homura.
"Get up." Homura waved his hand and stood up casually.
However, if someone carefully observed Homura, they would find that Homura was actually in a state of high alert.
A large number of Root personnel were also ambushed around the Hokage Building. As long as Homura encountered even the slightest danger, those Root personnel would rush in to rescue him in the first place.
Although Shisui had controlled Kouki with Kotoamatsukami, it was reasonable to say that nothing unexpected would happen, but given Kouki Uchiha's great danger, necessary precautions still had to be taken.
"Lord Hokage, I wonder what your orders are?" Kouki opened his mouth with an expression that was calm on the surface, but he was actually sneering in his heart.
Was the time to show the true colors finally coming?
"I want you to kill Shisui now!" Homura suddenly said to Kouki Uchiha with a solemn expression.
???
Kouki was stunned for a moment. Wasn't he going to destroy the Uchiha clan? Why does he want me to kill Shisui?
