Someone spoke up to refute the previous point.
"Although the Third Hokage is currently the person with the highest status on the surface, the people with the greatest combat power and authority in the village right now are undoubtedly the Uchiha Clan. There is no one left who can resist them."
"I'm afraid he is going to fall from power. He might even have to pay the price for harming members of the Anbu."
No one could refute his opinion.
They were simply sighing with emotion; such a thing had never happened in any ninja village before.
The Lord Hokage actually murdered his own Anbu, and now he was going to be judged by all the Clan Heads in the village.
They had already received the news: a meeting of the Clan Heads would soon be convened to put the Third Hokage on trial.
This already represented the opinion of the entire village.
Meanwhile, one of the parties involved, Uchiha Ryōsuke, was at home enjoying a blissful life being served by beautiful women, feeling incredibly comfortable.
He was lying on Mabui's smooth thighs.
Eating fruit fed to him by Yugito Nii, he was enjoying his mood thoroughly.
After dealing with the Third Hokage, the Uchiha Clan would have no more enemies in Konoha and could live and work in peace. Therefore, this time the Third had to fall, his reputation had to be completely ruined, and finally, he had to submit to the law.
In any case, no one could save him now.
As for those two consultants, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, they probably didn't have the guts to come out and object.
Even if they did come out to object, he would simply deal with them together.
To that end, he had already thought of many of their crimes.
Regarding these two, although he wouldn't necessarily suppress them to death immediately, they had to be kicked out of Konoha's upper echelons.
They actually had many crimes and had done many things that were inhumane.
Whether it was during the Great Ninja War, the Nine-Tails Rampage, or Orochimaru's attack, there was not a trace of them to be seen.
Did they lack combat power?
Of course not. After all, they were classmates of the Third Hokage and strong fighters of the older generation.
Their strength was bound to be considerable, but what did it mean when they didn't show up?
Whether they were afraid of death or refusing to take responsibility, they should no longer stay in those positions.
At this moment, Mabui had naturally heard about the events in the Leaf Village.
She hadn't expected the Uchiha Clan to actually arrest even the Third Hokage.
Moreover, this man had even defeated a fellow clansman who possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan; she was naturally astonished in her heart.
Her desire to acquire this man's bloodline became even stronger.
Fortunately, both she and Yugito Nii were already pregnant, which meant that at least two children with Uchiha Clan bloodlines were about to be born.
She was incredibly excited inside. Such a powerful man would surely produce extremely powerful offspring, and she could raise both of them to become people of the Cloud Village.
Thinking of this, she felt even more excited.
Her sacrifices were worth it.
Just then, a small figure quietly pushed open the door and walked into the room.
She saw the look of enjoyment on Ryōsuke's face as he accepted the attentive service of the beauties.
Furthermore, the clothes those two beauties were wearing were extremely revealing, with a large part of their chests exposed.
Her mood instantly soured. 'Brother Ryōsuke really is too much of a playboy.'
Collecting her emotions, she remembered she wasn't here to be jealous today.
She had heard the news in the village today, too. Itachi had actually betrayed the family. This had truly shocked her.
How could such a thing happen? He was the Clan Head's son.
The only person she knew well in the village was Brother Ryōsuke, so she could only come here to verify it.
Ryōsuke noticed Uchiha Izumi's arrival and quickly greeted her.
"Izumi, come here, quick."
Izumi looked at the two women wearing kimonos with their chests wide open. She was unhappy in her heart, but she hurried over anyway.
'Although mine are small, they should be that big when I grow up, right?'
Ryōsuke sat up directly and rubbed Izumi's little head, his eyes filled with a gentle gaze as he spoke.
"Why did you come to my place?"
He stared into Izumi's beautiful eyes.
Now that the village no longer posed a threat, the Uchiha Clan shouldn't face the risk of extermination in the future.
Izumi wouldn't have to die, and those beautiful eyes could remain in her body.
Izumi looked at Brother Ryōsuke, whose body was becoming stronger and stronger. She felt an attractive aura coming from him. If there weren't other people around, she would have wanted to hug him.
'Brother Ryōsuke really is gentle. It's a pity he's such a playboy. I'd better ask about the serious business first.'
"Is the news about Itachi's betrayal true?"
Ryōsuke said helplessly.
"Naturally, it is true."
To be honest, he hadn't expected that fellow Itachi to actually make such a choice—helping the weak Third Hokage in an attempt to control him and achieve the goal of controlling the Uchiha Clan.
Even though he had traveled here, led the clan to defeat the Cloud Village's conspiracy, and eliminated Shimura Danzō who had moved against the clan...
And even though he had clearly told Itachi that compared to the Third Hokage, the Uchiha Clan was more capable of leading Konoha toward prosperity, Itachi still insisted on standing with the higher-ups.
He felt a bit angry inside.
To be a traitor to this extent was truly defying all logic.
If he hadn't already prepared countermeasures, he might have nearly fallen into the trap.
Actually, there was no need to be angry anymore. That guy Itachi's plan had already been declared a failure. Even his eyes had been gouged out; he wouldn't be able to stir up trouble in the future even if he wanted to.
Hearing Brother Ryōsuke's answer, Izumi felt disappointed. It turned out to really be like that. She asked, completely puzzled.
"Why did Itachi do that? Why did he help outsiders deal with his own family?"
Ryōsuke answered helplessly.
"Maybe he felt that our clan affected the peace of Konoha."
Izumi's eyes widened, full of confusion.
"I don't get it. Our clan became strong, so how does that affect peace?"
"Doesn't a strong clan protect the village better?"
Ryōsuke couldn't help but sigh. This was the thinking of a normal person. He could only say helplessly.
"Perhaps Itachi's brain works differently from ours."
Izumi was also a bit unhappy. Indeed, Itachi had always had his own unique thoughts and never shared his feelings with her.
It was just that her good friend had been arrested just like that, having committed the felony of betraying the clan. She wondered what kind of punishment he would face.
At this moment, Ryōsuke took a piece of fruit from the plate Yugito Nii was holding and popped it into Izumi's mouth.
"Eat up. Don't be unhappy; there's no need for that now."
Izumi looked at the fruit by her mouth, opened it, and ate. As she ate, she asked.
"Then how will Itachi be punished?"
"Will he be executed directly?"
Ryōsuke comforted her.
"Don't worry. The death penalty should be impossible. I have handed full authority to Clan Head Fugaku to handle it. Clan Head Fugaku is unlikely to execute his own child."
"However, he will still receive a very severe punishment. Imprisonment is possible."
Hearing this, Izumi breathed a deep sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't the death penalty, it was fine.
Having committed such a grave crime, she was really afraid the clan would execute Itachi directly.
Looking at Izumi's small face, Ryōsuke handed over another piece of fruit.
Izumi was also a budding beauty; raising her from a young age wasn't bad.
Izumi happily ate another piece of fruit.
She had heard bad news today, but now she had heard good news, and her heart wasn't so depressed anymore.
On the other side, Uzuki Yugao naturally also heard the news that the Third Hokage was to be put on trial.
As the Hokage's Anbu, she had no intention of rescuing the Third Hokage.
She had already paid a great price for the Third Hokage.
Moreover, the news she heard shattered her worldview.
That man Shisui had actually died. One must know that he was also a member of the Anbu. Uzuki Yugao couldn't understand the Third Hokage—why did he have to do that?
She felt he was suffering from his own actions and couldn't blame others. She had even heard that Danzō's Root base contained a large number of human experiments—the kind of experiments that were devoid of humanity.
She had secretly investigated this back then and had reported it to the Third Hokage, but the Third Hokage hadn't let her look into it deeply.
She hadn't expected such darkness to be hidden within the village.
Without the Third Hokage's shielding, Danzō surely wouldn't have been able to do such things so seamlessly.
