Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Uchiha Kō and gave him a wink. Uchiha Kō nodded and then said, "I'm just letting her sleep for a while. You don't need to worry, and there won't be any aftereffects."
"And tell her that if she wants revenge, I Uchiha Kō, am ready to serve her anytime. And then it won't be just about compensation!" Uchiha Kō unleashed his full power, while Chiyo and the other two retreated in unison, their eyes filled with fear, resentment, and despair.
With Uchiha Owl in Konoha, they are practically invincible. Does that mean Sunagakure truly has no chance at all?
"Lord Owl, don't get so angry. Don't you know we're allies with Sunagakure? I believe they wouldn't betray us! Right, Elder Chiyo?" Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled, his face full of kindness.
But to Chiyo's clothing! She could only force a smile and say, "That's right, that's right, the Lord Hokage is right."
Uchiha Kō immediately composed himself, his pupils returning to black. He took Tsunade's hand and followed behind Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō.
The group arrived and left with an air of nonchalance. Sarutobi Hiruzen played the good cop, Uchiha Kō and Shimura Danzō played the bad cop, leaving Sunagakure completely bewildered.
The reason for this is simply strength; the current strength of the Lord of the Owls is unmatched! During this period, Susanoo is invincible.
Aside from that beast who can withstand the Eight-Tails, there's also that QM Separation Technique. With that, Uchiha Kō can roam freely in the Ninja World!
As for the Tailed Beast? Don't forget, the Mangekyō Sharingan counter to Tailed Beast, including the Nine-Tails! That's why Chiyo didn't send Bunpuku to deal with Uchiha Kō.
Have you ever heard of Susanoo the Nine-Tails? For this reason, Chiyo was forced to sign this humiliating treaty.
Chiyo sat there silently for a long time, tears streaming down her cloudy eyes. Shame, shame! At this age, I still have to sign such an agreement.
Ebizo patted her on the shoulder, comforting her and saying that if anyone is to blame, it's the Third Kazekage, not her.
Lin, on the other hand, controlled the puppet to hug Pakura, knowing that Pakura was a germaphobe and didn't like others touching her.
Some are happy, some are sad; let's take a look at Konoha.
Led by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha Kō and the others returned to the camp. Upon seeing the four arrive, the Hyuga Branch Family ninjas quickly reported, and everyone gathered at the camp gate to greet them.
"Fellow villagers, this time we not only signed a peace agreement, but also received 100 million taels of silver in compensation and 10% of the mission from Sunagakure!" Sarutobi Hiruzen announced loudly.
The ninjas were stunned at first, then overjoyed. One hundred million taels of silver! That was a considerable sum! Plus, the 10% mission bonus would make their lives even more comfortable.
"Long live the Lord Hokage!"
"Long live the Lord Hokage!"
"Long live the Lord Hokage!"
Compared to empty promises, real money is far more exciting and awe-inspiring!
The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, watched this scene with relief that Uchiha Kō had managed to persuade him to return to the right path. If it had truly just been a peace treaty, these ninjas would likely have harbored resentment.
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it"—that's a good saying! Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uchiha Kō.
At this moment, Uchiha Kō was chatting with Orochimaru, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and others, his Tsunade around Tsunade.
Sensing that someone was watching him, Uchiha Kō turned around, saw Sarutobi Hiruzen, smiled, and bowed.
Sarutobi Hiruzen clicked his tongue twice. "Sigh, a true winner in life, achieving success in both love and career." Seeing Uchiha Kō like this, he even wondered if Teacher Tobirama had made a mistake.
The Uchiha doesn't seem evil at all! Danzo smiled; he deserved the most credit for commanding this time, and from now on, he'll likely be second only to Danzo!
This is all thanks to Uchiha Kō! What a wonderful clan the Uchiha Clan are!
As Sarutobi Hiruzen speaking, after giving the villagers a moment to celebrate, Sarutobi Hiruzen his hand and declared, "Konoha ninjas, we're going home!"
The ninjas were also very excited. Going home—what a wonderful word! However, Uchiha Kō ordered the Uchiha Clan to collect the bodies of all the dead ninjas ahead of time.
They held one or two urns in their hands, their faces solemn. When other ninja clans saw this, they came to help, taking away the ashes of their clansmen and expressing their gratitude to the Uchiha Clan.
This was the first time the Uchiha Clan had been thanked in such a way. Some blushed, while others proudly raised their heads and gently handed over the urn containing the ashes.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. How could the Uchiha Clan, with such a lineage, be considered an evil clan?
The journey was peaceful, and after about two days, they arrived at the village entrance. When the villagers saw that the troops had returned, they immediately sent someone to inform Hatake Sakumo.
Hatake Sakumo immediately notified all his family members to come and greet him.
"Lord Hokage!" Hatake Sakumo led the way, bowing with his hands clasped, followed closely by the other clans.
"Yes, everyone has worked hard, especially you, Sakumo. I heard that you have been loyal and responsible while guarding the village, and you have not dared to slack off. I am proud of you!" After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Hatake Sakumo on the shoulder.
Hatake Sakumo immediately knelt on one knee. "We rely entirely on the Lord Hokage's trust. Please come into the village and rest, Lord Hokage."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, then led his troops into the village, gave a speech, and then everyone returned home.
Uchiha Kō told Uchiha Don to take the Uchiha Clan ninjas back to the clan territory first, and that he would return later.
Afterwards, he and Tsunade went to the Senju Clan Compound first. They would inform the elders upon their return. Uchiha Don nodded in agreement and led the Uchiha ninjas to the clan's territory.
"Tsunade, what do you think we should buy? We haven't been back for so long, we should bring some gifts to show our respect to the elders!" Uchiha Kō with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Tsunade shook her head. "Grandma doesn't need anything, as long as you're here, that's enough!" After saying that, Tsunade hugged Uchiha Kō's arm even tighter.
Uchiha Kō smiled. "It's never a bad thing to be polite. Wait for me, Tsunade, I'm going to buy some pastries or something to bring to Lady Mito to try!"
Tsunade, like a dutiful wife, straightened Uchiha Kō's collar. "Just call me Grandma, no need to address me as 'Master,' it's too formal! Go on, I'll wait for you here!"
After saying that, Tsunade watched Uchiha Kō enter the pastry shop. Her eyes narrowed into slits, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she hummed a tune from who-knows-where, in a cheerful mood.
As soon as Uchiha Kō entered the pastry shop, he discovered that the owner was none other than Uzumaki Nagato's father, Uzumaki Namida!
While making pastries, Wu Lei heard the Furin at the door and instinctively looked up, only to see Uchiha Kō. He exclaimed excitedly, "Lord Owl, you've finished the battle!"
Uchiha Kō smiled. "Yes, I just got back. I was thinking of visiting the old folks and buying some pastries or something, but I didn't expect to run into you, Brother Mulei."
