This Has Nothing to Do with Us! Smack!

Following the rapid pace of the Anbu members, Uchiha Kō made his way forward and finally arrived at the Hokage Building, which symbolized the core of power in Konoha.

When he stood in front of the Hokage Building, he found someone already waiting quietly there. Upon closer inspection, he recognized the person as Shimura Danzō!

Shimura Danzō forced a smile and said to Uchiha Kō, "Owl-kun, you've finally arrived. There are envoys from Kumogakure sitting upstairs right now, and from what I know, they seem to have ill intentions."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Kō raised an eyebrow slightly, inwardly surprised that Shimura Danzō had tipped him off beforehand. He then asked, "Danzo, what do you mean by this? Is there some hidden story?"

Shimura Danzō snorted coldly, his face growing increasingly grim. He lowered his voice and said, "Hmph, it's all because Hiruzen is too easily swayed! If the Kumogakure envoy gives him a little threat and a bit of acquiescence, Hiruzen might..."

He suddenly stopped talking at this point, but the unspoken meaning was already self-evident.

In Shimura Danzō's view, the fact that Kumogakure Village dared to send people to Konoha to demand answers in such a grand manner was simply a sign of their ignorance and audacity!

It was incredibly disappointing and infuriating that Hiruzen, as the Hokage, might choose to back down and compromise in this situation. A fierce glint flashed in Shimura Danzō's eyes as he thought this.

After listening, Uchiha Kō also frowned deeply, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "Danzo, I understand your concerns. If it is as you expect, I will definitely take decisive action and will not let those guys from Kumogakure succeed!"

Shimura Danzō slightly raised the corners of his mouth, thinking to himself, "The Lord of the Owls is indeed exceptionally intelligent, able to see through my thoughts so easily."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at Uchiha Kō beside him.

Then, the two walked side by side and entered the imposing Hokage Building together.

They walked steadily down the corridor, heading straight for the Hokage Office on the top floor. They remained silent the entire way, but a tacit understanding ran between them.

Before long, they arrived at the Hokage Office. After standing still, the two exchanged a knowing glance. Uchiha Kō nodded slightly, then raised his hand and politely knocked on the closed door.

"Come in!" A deep, resonant voice rang out from inside the house; it belonged to the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After receiving permission, Uchiha Kō and Shimura Danzō open the door and stepped into the room.

Upon entering, the two of them simultaneously turned their gaze to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting behind his desk.

At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen also looked up at them, and after glancing over Uchiha Kō and Shimura Danzō, he quickly fixed his gaze on the Kumogakure Envoy standing to the side.

This single, subtle movement was enough for Uchiha Kō and Shimura Danzō to instantly understand the current situation. Clearly, the key figure in this meeting was this envoy from Kumogakure.

The two exchanged glances, both seeing the same question in each other's eyes, "Could the problem lie with this guy?"

At this moment, Uchiha Kō, still sporting his signature smile, slowly turned around and fixed his gaze on the Kumogakure Envoy.

After a brief glance, he turned to look at the Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, but the latter remained silent, seemingly waiting for him to ask a question.

After a brief pause, Uchiha Kō broke the silence, asking respectfully, "Lord Hokage, what is the purpose of summoning us here today? Has some major event occurred?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed twice. "These are envoys from Kumogakure. They want you to give them an explanation. You can negotiate the details." With that, Sarutobi Hiruzen lit his pipe.

Uchiha Kō said "Yes!" and then looked at the Kumogakure Envoy. The Kumogakure Envoy also looked at Uchiha Kō, but upon seeing him, he quickly stepped back.

The messenger saw the phantom of the Death God Uchiha Kō, and his legs trembled involuntarily. He quickly rubbed his eyes and found that he had returned to normal.

"Phew, I scared myself," he thought to himself.

"You're the envoy from Kumogakure? What kind of envoy are you? What do you represent? Can you represent A or the entire village?" Uchiha Kō demanded first.

The Kumogakure Envoy's heart skipped a beat. He had never seen such a negotiation tactic before. What was going on? And how did it escalate to representing Lord Raikage and the villagers?

However, he quickly realized, "This is Raikage A's son's waist Waist Token, this is proof." After saying that, he took out the Waist Token and handed it to Uchiha Kō.

Uchiha Xiao took the belt, took a look at it, and then handed it to Lord Hokage. Sarutobi Hiruzen took the belt, looked at the thunder ninja mark and the word "Ai" on it, and nodded to Uchiha Xiao.

Uchiha Kō received the signal and understood the situation. "Then please tell us, Envoy, what your purpose and request are in coming to Konoha."

The messenger nodded, then ordered his men to throw out the two heads. When the cloth covering the heads was removed, two familiar faces were reflected in Uchiha Kō's pupils.

He sneered, "And then? What are you trying to say?" Uchiha Kō glanced at the messenger.

The envoy's lips curled into a smile, and he said in a serious voice, "These two are missing-nin from our Land of Lightning. They committed unforgivable crimes years ago and have already been expelled from the ranks. This matter of plundering your village's bloodline limit has nothing to do with our Kumogakure! We urge the Lord Hokage and elders to see the truth."

The envoy bowed and stood up, about to say something, when Uchiha Kō stepped forward and slapped him across the face. Smack!

The envoy was sent flying, spinning twice in the air before landing. The Kumogakure Envoy was stunned; he'd been attacked?

"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated, Elder! What do you mean by this? Are you declaring war on my Kumogakure?" -Kumogakure envoy!

"Heh, you say it's not closed? So it's not closed? Why should I believe you?" Uchiha Kō sneered, his face full of arrogance.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was taken aback. Owl wasn't usually like this; why was he acting like he was on steroids today? He attacked without warning.

"This really has nothing to do with us, I..." Before he could finish speaking, another slap landed, a loud crack.

He walked around in circles again, stammering a bit.

"How can you say it has nothing to do with you? The person is dead now, there's no way to prove it's not your fault." Uchiha Kō chuckled.

His words stunned everyone present, who instantly understood what Uchiha Kō meant. This was a preemptive strike, a counterattack before the Kumogakure envoy could even speak.

Now the Kumogakure Envoy is speechless. Young Master A originally wanted this excuse, but Uchiha Kō used it! What to do? Waiting for an answer online!!
