Chapter 18 The Great Purge
The Tailed Beast Chakra that erupted from him was also withdrawn back into his body.
Yagura Karatachi finally appeared in public, and Mei Terumī also gave a look to Ao beside her.
Ao activated his Byakugan to investigate, but the result was unexpected; he shook his head at Mei Terumī.
Mei Terumī frowned. This wasn't right. According to their deductions, the Mizukage should have been controlled.
Where did it go wrong? Or was the Mizukage truly old and muddled, making one bad decision after another?
Yagura Karatachi saw Mei Terumī's arrival and slowly let out a breath, "All Jonin, come to the office for a meeting! I have something important to announce!"
...
"Fifth Hokage~"
Nara Shikaku saw Uchiha Fugaku return and quickly went to greet him.
Hyuga Hiashi was not to be outdone and followed closely.
Konoha was about to undergo a major change; those who couldn't see the situation clearly were truly foolish.
With Uchiha Fugaku taking office, as agreed, he would be the new Hokage Advisor!
"Fifth Hokage, are you finished here?"
Nara Shikaku looked doubtfully at the small forest. How long had Uchiha Fugaku been in the small forest? He hadn't heard any sounds of fighting. Was it over already?
Hyuga Hiashi also glanced at the small forest, intending to activate his Byakugan to take a look, but after thinking about it, he dismissed the idea.
"Yes, it's over."
Uchiha Fugaku was in a good mood now and replied with a chuckle.
"Everyone, you'll need to work hard next."
Nara Shikaku knew what Uchiha Fugaku meant. He had reported earlier that although the Sarutobi and Shimura clans had been annihilated, there were still many stragglers from both clans in the village, and people from both clans held important positions such as the Ninja Academy and Konoha Hospital.
Once these people caused trouble, it would have a considerable impact on the village's stability.
He had suggested a full village-wide search to apprehend all these individuals, as it was necessary to cut off the roots of the problem.
However, Uchiha Fugaku said to handle something here first and that the search for stragglers would be discussed later.
Now that this matter was resolved, it was time for a full Village-wide purge.
"Yes."
In fact, on the way back from the Sarutobi Clan Land, Nara Shikaku had already taken precautions, sending Jonin from his clan ahead to monitor those stragglers. Not only that, but he also left people to guard the Sarutobi Clan Land. It was just after work hours then, so they would catch anyone who returned.
"Then, Fifth Hokage, I'll go take care of it now."
After receiving Uchiha Fugaku's affirmation, Nara Shikaku quickly left with his people.
Hyuga Hiashi also didn't want to miss this opportunity to show his capabilities and also left in a hurry.
When Nara Shikaku returned to report this matter, he was present, so he naturally knew the meaning of Uchiha Fugaku's words about needing to work hard now.
"Fugaku, what about us?"
Uchiha Sihu, the Elder, led his clansmen forward.
"You all go too. Tonight should not be very peaceful."
Uchiha Fugaku said.
Uchiha Sihu nodded; he thought so too.
Besides, he was very uneasy about leaving everything to outsiders.
"Then we're going."
Uchiha Sihu called out, dividing these 20-odd Uchiha elites who had activated their Three-Tomoe Sharingan into four five-person squads, scattering them in all directions.
After everyone had left, in the blink of an eye, only Uchiha Fugaku stood alone in place.
"Alright, everyone's gone to do their work, so what should I do?"
Uchiha Fugaku pondered for a moment, then headed towards the Uchiha Clan Land.
Most of the troubles had been dealt with, but the Kotoamatsukami in Uchiha Itachi's hands was still a hidden danger. Now that he had free time, this ticking time bomb needed to be dealt with quickly.
Uchiha Fugaku leisurely stepped into the Uchiha Clan Land, strolling through the streets and alleys. Uchiha civilians who saw him greeted him warmly.
Uchiha Fugaku didn't put on any Clan Head airs, responding with a smile and a nod.
Some Uchiha civilians were stunned in place, feeling a bit incredulous. Was this still the dignified Clan Head they knew?
Why did he feel like a different person today?
Or did the Clan Head have some great joyful news, perhaps the Clan Head's wife was expecting a third child?
These Uchiha civilians who hadn't activated their Sharingan and weren't Ninja were no different from the civilians in the village. At this moment, they all became spectators, secretly discussing and guessing after Uchiha Fugaku left.
At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku was walking on the road outside his own residence.
The courtyard gate was wide open. Uchiha Fugaku stopped at the entrance, the light was on inside, so Uchiha Mikoto should be back.
Uchiha Fugaku glanced twice and then continued walking, heading towards Nanga Shrine.
Just then, Uchiha Mikoto pushed open the inner room door, looking worriedly at the empty main entrance.
Sasuke was sitting intently on the sofa watching TV. He turned his head and saw his mother standing at the door looking outside. He ran over, poking his head out and asking, "Did Father and Brother come back?"
"No," Uchiha Mikoto sighed faintly, patting Sasuke's little head, and said, "Sasuke, you should go take a bath now."
"No," Sasuke pouted, "I want to wait for Brother to come back."
"Your brother will definitely come back very late. Be good, go take a bath first."
Uchiha Mikoto gently stroked Sasuke's little head and said.
Sasuke looked up and said, "But I still want Brother to teach me Ninjutsu. If I sweat later, won't I have to take another bath?"
Uchiha Mikoto was speechless. She thought about how her eldest son, Itachi, had been coming home past 11 PM these days, looking very tired.
She couldn't help but raise her voice a bit, sternly saying, "Brother is very tired from being busy every day. Don't disturb his rest. What Ninjutsu are you learning so late at night? Be good, go take a bath quickly!"
Sasuke couldn't win against Uchiha Mikoto and could only obediently go take a bath with a resentful expression.
At this moment, far away on the famous hot spring street in the Land of Hot Water.
People in groups of three or five were excitedly rushing towards a certain gambling house at the end of the street.
"Hurry, hurry! I heard that legendary big fat sheep is at Sakura Gambling House. Let's go make a fortune off her."
"Hehe, I heard that the big fat sheep always loses when she gambles. You can win just by betting the opposite of her. Is it true or false?"
"I'm telling you, it's definitely true! My second brother's wife's brother's husband, he was at the same table as the big fat sheep back then, and he always bet the opposite of her, never lost once!"
These few people were street ruffians from the hot spring street in the Land of Hot Water. They didn't commit heinous crimes, but they were lazy, gluttonous, and loved to gamble.
This time, hearing that the big fat sheep had come to Sakura Gambling House, they were all so excited they wished they could immediately fly to a gambling table in the gambling house.
After a frantic rush, they quickly ran into Sakura Gambling House at the end of the street.
"Where's the big fat sheep? Where is she?"
They were panting heavily, unable to wait to rest as they wide-eyed searched for the big fat sheep's whereabouts in the crowded gambling house.
"Brother! Found her!"
One person excitedly pointed to a gambling table and shouted.
The leading man looked. A light yellow ponytail, wearing a loose, sleeveless top, with a large 'Gamble' character on the back of her clothes.
That's right, it was her! The legendary big fat sheep!
