Konoha Elders' Trembling Hearts

Just after Byakuya had chased away Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Meanwhile, the members of the Security Force, led by Uchiha En, had also successfully defeated all the Anbu.

"Lord Byakuya, how should we handle these Anbu..."

Uchiha En looked at Byakuya with adoration.

Just now, while fighting the Security Force, he had also noticed the battle between Byakuya and Hiruzen Sarutobi over here.

Seeing Byakuya use the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan to beat Hiruzen Sarutobi until he fled, Uchiha En was incredibly excited.

See? This is the power of the Uchiha Clan, the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, the power of Lord Byakuya.

What about the strongest Hokage!?

What about the Professor of Ninjutsu!?

In front of Lord Byakuya, they could only flee in disarray.

"Hmm... these Anbu are all rogue ninjas!..."

"By rights, they should all be executed..."

Byakuya looked at the Anbu who had been defeated by the Security Force and were lying there.

Hearing Byakuya's words, the Anbu all started to panic.

"Uchiha Byakuya, you can't kill us, we are Konoha ninjas..."

"We haven't betrayed Konohagakure..."

"We were merely following the Hokage's orders..."

"... "

The Anbu shouted one after another.

They had only attacked the Security Force in the Hokage's name.

Even if you have a problem, you should find the Hokage! Why are you killing us!?

If they had known that becoming an Anbu meant fighting members of the Uchiha Clan, they would never have become Anbu, even if they were beaten to death!

"Shut up... Is this a place for you to speak!?..."

"Lord Byakuya, you are right. These rogue ninjas should all be executed..."

Uchiha En directly stomped hard on an Anbu's head, holding a Ninja Sword in his hand.

As long as Byakuya gave the order, he would chop without hesitation.

"However, simply killing them is too good for them..."

"Uchiha En, take them to the Hokage! See if the Hokage is willing to ransom these rogue ninjas..."

Byakuya said after thinking.

"I understand! But what price should we make the Hokage pay!..."

Uchiha En retracted his Ninja Sword and continued to ask.

"Anything. Money, Ninjutsu, Secret Techniques are all fine..."

"And don't forget to demand compensation from Hiruzen Sarutobi for the damage caused by the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!..."

Byakuya said indifferently.

Byakuya lacked nothing when it came to money, Ninjutsu, or Secret Techniques.

The reason Byakuya sent Uchiha En to find the Hokage was to anger him and make him furious.

As for Byakuya! He would naturally go back and study the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina, properly.

Byakuya was full of curiosity about the Nine-Tails within Kushina's body.

"Yes... Lord Byakuya!..."

"I promise to complete the mission!..."

Uchiha En responded, then waved his hand.

"Everyone, escort the Anbu and follow me to the Hokage Building..."

"Yes..."

Hearing Uchiha En's words, the Security Force escorted the Anbu and headed towards the Hokage Building in a mighty procession.

After escaping from Byakuya.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately summoned his old friends, the three elders of Konohagakure.

Although they were very confused by Hiruzen Sarutobi's summons, they arrived at the Hokage Building immediately.

"Hiruzen, what's going on!..."

"You're injured!?"

"Who is it!? How could they injure you! Is there an enemy invasion!?"

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi in such a disheveled state and wounded, Shimura Danzo, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura were all extremely surprised.

→

How could Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, be injured!?

They hadn't heard of any enemy invading Konohagakure!

"It's Uchiha Byakuya! I was injured by Uchiha Byakuya..."

"Moreover, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was stolen by Uchiha Byakuya..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a very grim expression.

"What!? Hiruzen, what did you say!?"

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has fallen into the hands of the Uchiha Clan!"

"Damn it, how could this happen! This is simply a disaster..."

Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, the other three also suddenly stood up.

Clearly, they were all well aware of the consequences if the Uchiha Clan obtained the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Especially since Uchiha Madara had once controlled the Nine-Tails with his Sharingan, it made them extremely worried.

If the Uchiha Clan, like Uchiha Madara, gained control of the Nine-Tails' power, it would be a disaster for the entire Konohagakure.

At the thought of this, they all felt a tremor of fear.

"Danzo, I'll go gather all the Root Organization members immediately!"

"We'll launch an attack directly on the Uchiha Clan and must retrieve the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki..."

Shimura Danzo said hastily, about to leave.

"Danzo, stop right there..."

"Do you think I don't want to retrieve the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!?"

"My injuries were caused by Uchiha Byakuya; his Mangekyo Sharingan is incredibly powerful..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately called out to Shimura Danzo, fearing he would rashly go and become an easy target for Byakuya.

Right now, they absolutely could not afford to lose any more combat power for no reason.

"How could this be!..."

"Is Uchiha Byakuya's strength really that great!? He could actually injure you!..."

The other three also looked at Hiruzen in astonishment.

After all, among the four of them, when it came to combat, Hiruzen Sarutobi's strength was indeed the greatest.

Otherwise, why would the other three not object when he called himself "the strongest Hokage."

Originally, they all thought Byakuya had stolen the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki through some scheme or trickery.

But what they didn't expect was that Byakuya had actually snatched the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki directly from Hiruzen Sarutobi's hands.

Even Shimura Danzo stopped in his tracks.

Shimura Danzo knew very well that if Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't retrieve the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki from Byakuya, then he wouldn't achieve any results either.

"Are we just going to let it go!?"

"Yes! We absolutely cannot let the Uchiha Clan control the power of the Nine-Tails..."

"The Uchiha Clan truly deserves to die..."

The three said with great distress.

"Danzo, how is the Wood Release research coming along!?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked Danzo.

Having witnessed Byakuya's powerful Mangekyo Sharingan, Hiruzen Sarutobi now desperately needed the power of Wood Release.

Only the power of Wood Release could counter the Mangekyo Sharingan.

"Hiruzen, I've already been researching the First Hokage's corpse..."

"However, the First Hokage's cells are filled with immense vitality; I've failed multiple transplant attempts..."

Shimura Danzo said.

"We must speed up the progress. Whatever you need, I will fully support you..."

"I sense that the Uchiha will definitely make a big move during this period..."

"We need the power of Wood Release to fight against the Uchiha..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said urgently.

"I understand, I will accelerate my research into Wood Release!..."

Shimura Danzō immediately said.

"Hokage-sama, something's wrong..."

"The Uchiha Clan's Security Force is here..."

Just then, an urgent voice came from outside.
