"It seems that you Uchiha Clan are really serious, actually putting on such a display."
The door of the room opened, and Tobirama Senju's self-light swept towards the group of Uchiha, and fell on Fugaku and others at the front, with no fluctuations on their faces.
Under the gaze of a pair of Sharingan, he walked safely into the house, followed by his brother Hashirama Senju and Minato Namikaze.
After First Hokage and Fourth Hokage appeared, there was a burst of noise in the room.
It would be a lie to say that First Hokage and Uchiha people have no feelings.
After all, it was the person who ended the troubled times back then and gave them Uchiha Clan a home they could protect and live in peace for decades. His achievements cannot be erased.
He even defeated the strongest ancestor several times, and his powerful strength is naturally convincing.
Uchiha is no exception.
And Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze is more familiar to everyone.
As the Hokage who is closest to everyone, his strength and achievements are also obvious to all.
If he hadn't died too early, the tragedy of their family might not have happened.
After the annihilation of the clan, the people of Uchiha could not help but have those beautiful reveries.
Fugaku stretched out his hand and led the three of them to sit in front of them.
"After all, the three of you are Hokage, and they deserve our serious treatment as Uchiha Clan."
Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze looked solemn after sitting down.
Hashirama Senju looked around and asked strangely, "Where is Monkey, why didn't you see anyone else?"
"The matter hasn't been settled yet, Third Hokage can't be released yet," Setsuna said.
Hearing this, Hashirama Senju nodded regretfully, did not ask any more questions, and sat next to his younger brother.
He knew that he was not good at words, so he left all the conversations with the Uchiha Clan to his younger brothers Tobirama and Minato Namikaze.
Tobirama Senju looked at the tea in the cup, then looked up at the people in the room, completely confirming his thoughts in his heart.
"Let's be honest, how can you let Monkey go?"
"Second Hokage, because of Third Hokage's pedantry and ignorance, all of us were massacred, and only one child was left alive. Such Clan Massacre's hatred cannot be easily revealed." Uchiha Fugaku said solemnly.
Minato Namikaze looked at Fugaku with a determined expression, and then thought of Third Hokage's hunched figure, a trace of sadness flashed across his face.
"Fugaku, I can understand your pain and hatred, and I will not deny the mistakes Third Hokage made at that time. It is not his fault that things have developed to that point. Can Uchiha Clan's choice at that time be clean?"
Kahaku lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Uchiha Clan did do something wrong at that time, but isn't all this the fault of Third Hokage's incompetence? Even if it's our big fault, Must we all be slaughtered? Nearly two thousand lives, how many old people and children are among them, and how many people have risked their lives for Konoha? But we ended up like this, how can we clean up our grievances?"
"When you were at Ninja World, didn't you also kill all the family members of elders Third Hokage, Shimura Family and Two Advisors? Even blood for blood is enough, right?"
Minato Namikaze's voice contained a hint of pleading, but was decisively rejected by Fugaku.
"Not enough!"
"We are waiting for the lives of Uchiha nearly two thousand people. How can we save the lives of just those few people with their families!"
Setsuna echoed, "At that time in Ninja World, we spared those remote bloodlines of the Sarutobi Clan because we were kind-hearted and did not want to do more evil. If we repay blood with blood, the entire Sarutobi Clan would have to catch up with them!"
"It is precisely because Hiruzen Sarutobi is just an accomplice that we spared those innocent people Sarutobi Clan, and now you want us to spare his soul?"
Setsuna smiled coldly.
"Humph, how can there be such a good thing in the world!"
"It is precisely because you are an accomplice that we came here to discuss it with you."
Tobirama Senju's voice sounded, taking over the words from Minato Namikaze.
His eyes swept across all the Uchihas, and finally landed on Fugaku, his voice showing no emotion at all as usual.
"Uchiha Fugaku, let's stop talking about negotiation. Let's treat each other sincerely."
"Treat each other sincerely? It's really rare to hear this from Second Hokage."
Uchiha Setsuna scoffed.
Kahaku also said, "If this is what Mr. Hashirama Senju said, we would believe it. But Senju Tobirama, a despicable person like you, haha -"
He didn't say his words clearly, but his meaning was clear, which directly made Tobirama Senju's face darken.
Seeing this, Hashirama Senju said sincerely, "Everyone at Uchiha, we are indeed honest this time."
"Whether it's me or Tobirama and the fourth generation, we are all trying to find a result that satisfies everyone. Please believe this!"
Seeing that it was Hashirama Senju who spoke out, Uchiha Members had just looked down on Tobirama Senju's showmanship, but now it was gone, and they all looked serious.
They cannot trust Tobirama Senju, but there is no doubt about the credibility of Hashirama Senju.
"First Hokage, are you serious?"
"Of course we are serious, please believe us!"
Hashirama Senju's head hit the low table in front of him hard, making a dull sound.
Bang!
He just lowered his head, his honest voice full of seriousness.
"I know that the village has done things that have sorry for everyone, and this is unforgivable under any circumstances."
"Obito, Danzo, as the main culprits in the destruction of Uchiha, no matter what their fate is, they all deserve their punishment. We will not interfere with how you want to deal with them. All we ask now is that you can let Monkey go."
"I beg you, please let him go."
Looking at the elder brother next to him, Tobirama Senju's eyes twitched, but he did not stop him. Instead, he took advantage of the opportunity created by Hashirama Senju and simply told him bluntly.
"Everyone from Uchiha, you have been favored by Shinigami after your death. You are even more prominent than you were before your death. You may be angry, but when it comes to hatred, it is definitely not as deep as you show now."
"You are able to agree to the conversation with me and others and prepare carefully for this. You must have already made plans to make concessions. You just want to get something from it. Am I right?"
Tobirama Senju's words went straight to the essence. Fugaku and others fell silent for a moment.
In fact, Tobirama Senju is right. No matter what they say now, just this meeting has already revealed Uchiha Clan's plan.
Except for the unforgivable Obito, Danzo and others, they may have resentment in their hearts towards Third Hokage, but if they really speak of it, they don't really hate it.
Third Hokage has been punished. Even his teenage grandson has been killed, leaving only a fetus in his belly, which can be regarded as a bad breath.
There is nothing wrong with just letting Third Hokage go--
Seeing Uchiha, everyone's attitude softened, Tobirama Senju understood in his heart, and then struck while the iron was hot.
"Fugaku, Setsuna, Kahaku, I believe you can see that That Lord Shinigami attaches great importance to us Hokage, and will definitely reuse us."
"From now on, both us and you Uchiha Clan will be Lord Shinigami's subordinates and colleagues working together. Why should we make the relationship so rigid, lest we miss Lord Shinigami's important matters?"
"Lord Shinigami never wanted to see such a situation happen. He let the matter go and left it to us to deal with it. He had some thoughts in this regard."
Fugaku turned his head and glanced at Uchiha Clansmen behind him. Clansmen's faces did not have too many expressions, but were a little calm.
Then he looked at Setsuna beside him. The two looked at each other and nodded imperceptibly.
Setsuna said to Tobirama Senju, "If we want to let Third Hokage go - it's not non-negotiable, we need to meet our conditions."
Minato Namikaze's eyebrows relaxed and he immediately asked, "What are the conditions?"
Fugaku said in a deep voice, "Don't let Third Hokage participate in any politics. He won't be able to gain the slightest power. Let him die in peace like an ordinary old man."
Hearing this condition, Tobirama Senju frowned, thought about it for a moment, and nodded slowly.
"Okay."
"If he has power, you will not be at ease. We can promise this."
Hashirama Senju beside him raised his body and was about to smile when he suddenly paused and whispered tentatively, "I heard that Monkey also had a grandson who was killed by you. His soul is in your hands. Can you reunite the two of them?"
"That's another matter."
Fugaku's unclear voice sounded, and Tobirama Senju immediately understood what he meant.
He was thinking of using this as a blackmail and asking for a price.
"Whatever you want, just tell us and we will definitely satisfy you."
Setsuna sneered, "Oh, what benefit can you give us with your current appearance?"
Fugaku said in a deep voice, "Anyway, it's just a child. Whether it's in our hands or returned to the third generation, it won't be of much use. We can just hand over this child--"
His eyes wandered between the three Hokage, and finally fell on Hashirama Senju.
"Even if there are adults who are optimistic about you, now you have nothing and no bargaining chips in your hands--"
"Since you are Hokage, we will not go too far. For this matter, you three owe us Uchiha a favor. We will repay it when necessary in the future."
"How is it?"
Seeing Fugaku speak slowly, as if you were taking advantage of him, Tobirama Senju frowned deeply, and doubts gradually arose in his heart.
Could it be that--Uchiha Clan made such a big circle just for this purpose?
Before he could think about it, the impatient voice of Hashirama Senju sounded in his ears.
"Okay! We accept it!"
"As long as you let Monkey and his grandson go, we owe you a favor. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell us. We will do our best!"
"Brother! You!"
Tobirama Senju suddenly turned his head and looked at Hashirama Senju, who had a moved expression on his face, and his expression suddenly darkened.
Tobirama Senju had already expected that his elder brother would readily agree, but was not that surprised.
That's how his eldest brother is, he's too emotional and is willing to admit it even if he knows he'll suffer a loss.
He didn't want to let go of his biological brother, completely ignoring how many brain cells he had spent trying to solve the problems caused by his eldest brother's willfulness.
Now that his eldest brother has recognized it, he probably won't be able to change it even if he exhausts his words!
Minato Namikaze on the side saw Hashirama Senju making a promise and quickly said, "Fugaku and everyone at Uchiha, we agree!"
"We owe you a favor. In exchange, please let Third Hokage and his relatives go!"
Tobirama Senju looked at Minato Namikaze again. When Ninja World was on the battlefield, he knew that this Fourth Hokage was a bit stupid, but he didn't expect that he was similar to his elder brother to some extent.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, could it be that he is the only normal person among Konoha's previous Hokages?
"Forget it, that's it."
The two people around him were persuaded so easily, and Tobirama Senju couldn't stand it alone, so he could only agree with it.
"I have no objection either."
"Great, then the deal is done."
Fugaku nodded, secretly relieved.
He looked at Clansmen standing at the door and nodded.
After receiving the order from Fugaku, the Clansmen stretched out his hand to open the door, and two figures appeared at the door.
The three Hokage looked sideways and saw a stooped old man on one side and a childish child on the other side.
Hashirama Senju suffered a huge loss.
"Monkey, it's great that you're okay."
"Is this child your grandson?"
Namikaze has an attractive appearance, but the look on her face is much more subtle than that of Hashirama Senju.
"Sandaime-sama, you will be fine from now on."
Tobirama Senju looked at the Ape Saint Hiruzen, the old man with a depressed look who had gone through many vicissitudes of life and the young disciple who was far away and energetic in his impression, the two gradually merged together and turned into a sigh.
Time is slow and people grow old.
"Sorry, Master First Hokage, Second, and Minato--"
"For your trouble."
Ape Saint Hiruzen's voice was low and low, and he was patted on the shoulder by Hashirama Senju to comfort him.
Minato Namikaze felt relieved when he saw that he was fine. Then he looked at Fugaku and the others, opened his mouth, and his voice was a little softer.
"For Obito--what are you going to do?"
"Obito committed such a big mistake and will never be forgiven. It will naturally be the death penalty!" Fugaku said decisively.
Setsuna said warily, "Minato Namikaze, are you trying to plead for him?"
"Obito is no better than the Ape Saint Hiruzen. He is the direct murderer who slaughtered us all. We will never forgive him!"
"Namikaze, remember, you and your wife were also harmed by him back then!"
Minato Namikaze lowered his eyes and nodded with a disappointed expression.
"I understand that he deserves to die, and I will not plead for him."
He raised his head and looked at Fugaku imploringly. "Finally, can you let me see him? No matter what, he is my disciple, and I want to see him one last time."
"No!"
Fugaku said firmly, seeing Namikaze's face full of lamentation, he couldn't help but feel weak in his heart.
The two had been friends for many years before they were alive, and they had a good relationship.
"Although you are not allowed to see him, after a while, the clan will execute him. If you are interested, you can come and have a look. We will not stop you."
"----Fugaku, thank you."
"As you wish."
Seeing that tonight's events were completely over, Four Hokage left Uchiha's residence, and everyone in the clan also went back to their respective places.
Zhihao looked at the time, and after tonight was over, he hurried back to the palace and came to Kenma's bedroom.
Seeing the lights in the house brightly lit, Zhihao knocked lightly on the door, got permission from inside, and pushed the door open.
"Sir, are you still up so late?"
"If you sleep a lot during the day, you won't feel sleepy at night."
Kenma is leaning on the bedside at the moment, holding notes in his hand and writing and drawing.
Seeing Shisui come in, he freed his hand and pointed at Yiye's seat.
"Sit down and talk, what's the matter?"
"Sir, after meeting tonight, Uchiha Clan and Hokage will discuss the results of the treatment of Third Hokage." Zhihao said softly.
"What result?"
"Uchiha Clan let Sandai and his grandson go, while all Hokage promised to owe Uchiha Clan a favor, which is worthy of vigilance."
"That's it? No need to be vigilant."
Hearing this result, Kenma was not much surprised. He had expected it.
Uchiha Clan Xi has grown up under his hands, and Hokage Xi has become familiar with the afterlife environment as soon as possible, so that they will not be too embarrassed with each other, which is not good for anyone.
Then, one can imagine the result that is friendly to both parties.
Kenma waved his hand.
"You should go down and have a rest early. There is still a lot of work tomorrow."
"By the way, pick out the sensible ones among those who are tough, take care of them, and bring them back to Seireitei once you get to know them."
"The ones that have been changed will be taken back in batches, trying not to attract attention."
"Yes, sir."
