Senju Tobirama Fugaku, feeling both helpless and anxious.
He was well aware of the Uchiha Clan's feelings for Uchiha Yan, but the safety of Konoha was equally important.
" Fugaku, I haven't given up on finding Yan, but the current situation doesn't allow us to act rashly."
"Your rash attack on the Land of Wind may not only prevent you from reaching the Land of Demons, but it will also plunge Konoha into a pincer movement against multiple enemies."
Senju Tobirama tried to make Fugaku understand the implications of the situation.
Fugaku remained unmoved, looking at Senju Tobirama with a resolute expression in his eyes.
" Lord Tobirama, our Uchiha Clan has waited for over three years. For these three years, we have endured the pain of losing a Hokage."
"We can't wait any longer; no one can stop us today."
At this moment, the Special Zone Ninja Army shouted in unison.
"Find the Fifth Hokage!"
"Find the Fifth Hokage!"
"Find the Fifth Hokage!"
"..."
The waves of sound grew larger and larger, echoing above Konoha and causing countless people to change their expressions drastically.
Seeing this, Tsunade couldn't help but step in to dissuade them.
" Fugaku, Tobirama is right. The situation in the Ninja World is chaotic right now, and we cannot put Konoha in danger because of a moment of impulsiveness."
Unexpectedly, Shisui also stepped forward.
" Lord Tobirama, we know you are worried about the safety of Konoha, but our Uchiha Clan also has its own considerations."
"We have made full preparations, so the consequences will be borne by my Uchiha Clan."
Upon hearing this, Senju Tobirama looked at Shisui and sighed inwardly.
He knew that Shisui was a rational person, but in this matter, he was also blinded by emotion.
" Shisui, you are a smart child. You should know the consequences of doing this. We cannot make the wrong decision because of momentary emotions."
However, Shisui firmly shook his head. " Lord Tobirama, we have already made our decision. Please don't try to persuade us any further."
The two sides were deadlocked, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
After a long while, Senju Tobirama seemed to want to say something more, but Fugaku didn't give him the chance.
He took a step forward, his gaze sweeping over the ninja soldiers in front of the building, and shouted.
"We, the Uchiha Clan, have waited long enough. We can't wait any longer. Let's set off and attack the Land of Wind!"
The ninjas below were instantly filled with excitement, raising their ninja tools high in the air.
"War!"
"War!"
"War!"
Upon seeing this, Senju Tobirama was greatly alarmed.
Once the Uchiha Clan's ninja army sets out, it will inevitably trigger an irreversible war.
As for the idea that the Uchiha Clan would bear the consequences, he didn't believe it at all, or rather, the other ninja villages would absolutely not believe it.
"Stop right there!"
"I am the Acting Hokage of Konoha. Are you going to rebel?"
"Stop right there! This is an order from the Hokage!"
"..."
Senju Tobirama lost his composure and kept shouting to stop him, but Fugaku and the others had already made their decision, and the ninja below naturally wouldn't take the Acting Hokage's orders seriously.
In the plaza of the Uchiha Special Zone, nearly five thousand ninja soldiers were carrying out their final preparations in a tense but orderly manner.
Sunlight shone on them, reflecting a metallic sheen from the sharp weapons in their hands and the sturdy armor on their bodies.
Each ninja had a serious expression, their eyes revealing a firm determination.
He skillfully inspected his equipment, neatly arranging Kunai, Shuriken, and other ninja tools in the ninja tool pouch at his waist, removing the latest ninja tools to ensure they could play their maximum role in crucial moments.
With a loud blast of a bugle, they quickly formed a neat line.
Viewed from above, these formations resemble closely spaced squares, with each row and column perfectly aligned.
The footsteps were synchronized, like a giant slowly moving forward, producing a deep and powerful sound.
At the very front of the group were the high-ranking officials of the Uchiha Special Zone.
Fugaku's eyes were deep and resolute, followed closely by Shisui, Tekka, Yashiro, and others.
Leading this massive ninja army, they slowly walked towards the gates of Konoha.
Along the way, the streets of Konoha were lined with villagers and ninjas from other clans who were watching.
Despite the tense and oppressive atmosphere, the nearly five thousand ninja soldiers marched without the slightest disorder.
They have only one goal...
That was to follow Fugaku's orders and proceed in the designated direction to find their long-lost Hokage... Uchiha Yan.
"It's over!" Senju Tobirama looked somewhat dejected.
Tsunade was also somewhat at a loss for what to do.
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya also arrived, and were filled with shock as they watched the Special Zone Ninja Army set off.
"Teacher, can't you persuade him?" Sarutobi Hiruzen, frowning.
"Looks like you're not so good at Acting Hokage all!" Orochimaru licked his lips and mocked.
"Stop making sarcastic remarks, Orochimaru! Let's think about what to do!" Jiraiya gave Orochimaru a disapproving look.
"What can I do? I'm not Uchiha Yan, I can't suppress those crazy clans!" Orochimaru shrugged.
"Should we have the ninja army stop them?" Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the four or five thousand ninja soldiers behind Senju Tobirama.
With roughly equal numbers of ninja forces on both sides, the attempt to stop them could easily escalate into a more intense conflict, potentially leading to the complete disintegration of Konoha.
Senju Tobirama understood this reasoning as well, and therefore hesitated to make a decision for a long time.
If a real fight breaks out, the outcome is hard to predict.
Although they had more Kage Level shinobi than the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Yan had left them with quite a few trump cards before his disappearance.
According to intelligence, any Uchiha clan ninja who has awakened the Sharingan can use a small-scale Susanoo.
Moreover, it seems to have been upgraded two years ago, making it even more powerful.
This is also one of the reasons why the Uchiha Clan confirmed that Uchiha Yan was not dead.
"This is really a headache!"
However, just when Senju Tobirama and the others were at a loss, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the village entrance.
"What are you doing? Stop right there!"
Everyone turned to look.
Uchiha Yan stood at the entrance of the Special Zone, his eyes revealing a hint of weariness and authority, staring unfriendly at the Special Zone Ninja Army who were about to leave the village.
Yan's appearance stunned everyone.
Fugaku, Shisui, and the others showed expressions of surprise and excitement, Senju Tobirama and Tsunade also breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that Uchiha Yan has returned, this war can be avoided!
At this moment, Yan slowly walked into the Special Zone, looking at the scene before him, feeling both helpless and sentimental.
He knew his disappearance would cause a huge uproar, and that the Uchiha Clan might do something irrational.
But what I didn't expect was that they made quite a commotion!
They're practically on the verge of rebellion!
What's he going to do after he returns as Hokage? He can't really sever ties with Konoha!
