Young People Shouldn't Get Too Carried Away
The reason why everyone can hold this post-war commendation meeting here at a leisurely pace is because the Third Raikage is quite capable.
Back then, a single piece of information from Uchiha Kō tricked him into starting a war with the Iwagakure Ninja, and the two countries are still locked in fierce combat.
Both countries even sent envoys to Konoha to tell Konoha not to get involved.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was strange and unpredictable. He decided to first award prizes to all the individuals and clans who participated in the great battle, and then ask Uchiha Kō what to do next.
"Deputy Commander, Uchiha Kō has led the Uchiha Clan ninja on numerous difficult missions, prioritizing the safety of the entire village over the loss of his own clan."
"Therefore, after the decision of the Council of Elders, the Uchiha Clan is bestowed the title of 'Honorable Family,' with the inscription by Danzo. In addition, the Uchiha Kō is granted the status of Konoha Elder." Sarutobi Hiruzen announced these matters with a smile.
In an instant, Hyuga Akagi's expression changed. He coveted both the position of the Glorious Family and the position of elder of Konoha.
As a member of a powerful clan in the Ninja World, he understood that integrating into the village was not easy. If it weren't for his father and his strict orders Hyuga the Hyuga clan members to keep a low profile and treat others kindly, they would probably be ostracized like the Uchiha Clan before them.
But things are different now. The Uchiha Clan has earned the title of "Honorable Family," with the endorsement of the Hokage and elders. They are a clan that has made great contributions to the village and has received great honor.
This alone surpasses the Hyuga Clan's planning over the past thirty years, not to mention his status as an elder.
Anyone can become an elder in Konoha. There are only a few elders in total, including Danzo, Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura. You can imagine how determined the Konoha F4 were to win over Uchiha Kō.
Ultimately, it all comes down to Uchiha Kō's Mangekyō Sharingan. No matter how much you talk about it or how close the relationship is, the most important thing is still strength.
Tsunade pinched Uchiha Kō and whispered, "Hurry up and get on stage!" Uchiha Kō snapped out of his daze upon hearing this, quickly got up, and went on stage.
First, he expressed his gratitude and trust in the Lord Hokage, then said that he was surprised and honored to be elected, and that he would definitely be self-disciplined in the future to protect everyone's legitimate rights and interests.
After this round of pleasantries, everyone applauded. The final battle summary involved setting aside a portion of the compensation money for the deceased ninjas, with the remainder to be used for village reconstruction. No one objected to this arrangement.
When the meeting finally adjourned, the clan heads left in an orderly fashion, but Uchiha Kō was left behind. Tsunade had no choice but to wait outside the door.
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and waved to Uchiha Kō, "Osamu-kun, come and sit down." After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen pointed to the stool in front of him. This was a chair reserved for elders. Uchiha Kō had just become an elder of Konoha, so he naturally sat in this position.
Uchiha Kō nodded and then sat down. To his left sat Shimura Danzō, who smiled and nodded at him. To his right sat Uchiha Kō Utatane Koharu Mitokado Homura, as these two were more inclined towards clerical work, so they were seated a little further back.
"Lord Owl, both Kumogakure and Iwagakure have sent a letter to Konoha. We've read them both. Take a look." Sarutobi Hiruzen then took out two letters from his drawer, one signed by Ōnoki and the other by Raikage A.
Uchiha Kō opened the envelope and read its contents. After he had finished reading, Sarutobi Hiruzen said leisurely, "Owl-kun, your move of using one tiger to devour another was very effective. Now, only these two factions remain to fight in the Ninja World."
"They all demanded that we not intervene, and even sent people to sign a peace agreement." After saying that, he clapped his hands, and the Anbu brought in the representative of Kumogakure, A, who was also the son of the Third Raikage, and the representative of Kitsuchi, Ōnoki Iwagakure.
The representatives from both families entered with furious expressions, glaring at each other. They only calmed down slightly when they were in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the four elders. Otherwise, they were fine, but when the two of them saw Uchiha Kō sitting in the middle of the Council of Elders, their eyes flashed.
Despite the future Fourth Raikage A's dark and large appearance, he was actually quite clever. He was now thinking that there must be a reason why this Little White was here. So he smiled at Uchiha Kō.
Uchiha Kō's lips twitched. This was... no, this was the Fourth Raikage A, A? He did look quite mature. He smiled at A's overtures and then nodded.
Kitsuchi was no pushover either. He shoved Ai, then bowed to the Hokage first, followed by the elders, appearing composed and proper. He then looked at Ai defiantly, thinking, "Barbarians have no brains."
"Want to fight?" Ai sneered, then tensed his muscles.
"Fight if you want! Who's afraid of who!" Kitsuchi gave him a mocking look!
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face instantly darkened. He gave Uchiha Kō a wink, and Uchiha Kō understood. He circulated his Chakra, activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, and two large golden-red hands appeared above his back, pressing down on the shoulders of both of them.
Ai and Kitsuchi's expressions changed as a tremendous force came from their shoulders. Even Ai, a ninja who trained his physique, could hardly withstand it, let alone Kitsuchi. However, since they were both Kage's children from their respective villages, they both endured it without saying a word.
"Young man, don't be too arrogant," Uchiha Kō said with a chuckle, then withdrew his Susanoo and asked the Hokage if he could use the tea utensils, receiving an affirmative answer.
He first poured a cup of tea for Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled. Then he poured a cup of tea for Utatane Koharu Shimura Danzō, Mitokado Homura, then poured a cup for himself, and finally poured another cup.
He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then raised the last cup of tea. "Oh dear, there's only one cup left. I wonder if you two..." Uchiha Kō smiled, his hand hovering in the air.
Both of them realized that the tea was for the guests and represented peace. In other words, whoever got Uchiha Kō's cup of tea would establish diplomatic relations with Konoha. So the two of them made their moves almost simultaneously.
Uchiha Kō withdrew his hand. "Hey, we're all cultured people, why do we resort to violence so easily?" he said with a smile.
"Konoha is a bit short of money lately, as you know. We Konoha fought two major battles, which consumed a lot of resources. Right now, we're even struggling to make ends meet!" Uchiha Kō sighed.
This scene not only made Ai and Kitsuchi's eyes twitch, but even the Konoha F4 felt a jolt in their hearts. You little brat, you're taking advantage of the chaos!
Everyone knows Konoha won a complete victory and received a huge amount of war reparations. You're poor right now? You're poor, you XXX
