A shift in people's hearts

Minato Namikaze fell silent for a long while. Seeing the restless look on everyone's faces, he finally spoke up, "Everyone, please stop for a moment. Give me some time, give me some time to investigate, I will definitely make..."

Before he could finish speaking, someone stopped him. "Never mind, Minato-sensei."

"Yang Xing!" Upon seeing Yang Xing, Minato Namikaze changed, and he couldn't help but reveal a sadness he had never shown before.

None of the people in this group are reasonable. They have gathered together for their own sake and for their families, and they have no humanity whatsoever.

Since the start of Third Shinobi World War, Yang Xing has made countless contributions to Konoha, yet these people, because of a rumor, want to blame a child who gave Konoha such great hope.

These people are truly insane.

"We will continue the investigation." Fugaku Uchiha forcefully took the lead, his movements extremely swift. "However, first of all, I want to say that we cannot allow such a dangerous person to continue moving freely. With the Third Shinobi World War just ended, our Konoha cannot afford any further setbacks. Although I'm sorry, this is Konoha now, Yang Xing, please bear with it for a few days."

With a wave of his hand, a dozen or so Starlight Group ninjas who had been lying in ambush stepped forward, clearly arranged by Fugaku Uchiha.

As the dozen or so ninjas approached, Yang Xing stopped moving.

Originally, everyone thought Yang Xing would obediently surrender and be at their mercy, but unfortunately, they misjudged Yang Xing's fighting spirit.

"Don't touch me!" The imposing aura emanating from those eyes caused the dozen or so ninjas to freeze in place.

Yang Xing's Three Sharingan Tomoe pendant was no less intimidating than that of Fugaku Uchiha.

This is a genuine Three Sharingan Tomoe, and judging from the aura emanating from those eyes, no one would dare to rush forward now.

Yang Xing's words stopped the ninjas on both sides, including three Jonin and seven Chunin. These elites among elites were so frightened by a child that they dared not move an inch or cross the line.

With his front, back, left, and right sides completely blocked, Yang Xing didn't show the slightest fear or apprehension.

His face was filled with arrogance, a defiant haughtiness. His cold eyes swept over the crowd, landing on Fugaku Uchiha, where he smirked and spoke in a booming voice, "Catch me? No one in this world can catch me, no one can imprison me, and no one can deal with me. You should know my strength Fugaku Uchiha. These people can't catch me, and they can't deal with me."

The people around were silent, a profound silence.

We remained silent in the face of this genius's words and his powerful spirit.

"Boy, what explanation do you have?" The hatred for his clansmen made Fugaku Uchiha's face very ugly. At this moment, he was filled with thoughts of the tragic deaths of his clansmen.

"Haha, I don't want to say anything, I don't want to waste my breath on idiots." Yang Xing laughed, his eyes showing no fear or dread. "I'm doing what I want to do, and what I pursue is something that belongs to me alone, something that no one can disturb or destroy."

Arrogant, conceited—no, Yang Xing truly possesses such abilities and skills.

Apart from Minato Namikaze, probably no one present could stand up to Yang Xing, which is why Yang Xing could say such a thing with such confidence.

It was also the source of fear that everyone around could only watch, afraid to step forward.

Unfortunately, this tone from Yang Xing still had a slightly counterproductive effect.

"That brat has such a big mouth."

"This brat really is just like what the Uchiha Clan head said. It seems he was the one who did all those things."

"They actually let Iwagakure attack our Konoha! That brat planned it all! How despicable!"

"Just how much of a grudge do you have against Konoha?"

A group of people clearly attributed the outbreak of the Third Shinobi World War to Yang Xing; this group was completely blinded by their current anger.

"Yang Xing?" Minato Namikaze's eyes were filled with sorrow.

"Yes, yes, whatever you say is right, but there's one thing I need to tell you: I don't want to care about anything in Konoha anymore, and I won't care anymore." Yang Xing's cold gaze swept over them, his voice rather indifferent. "From now on, I don't want to have anything to do with you in Konoha."

"Kid, if you've got the guts, don't run away."

"Minato, you are the Hokage of Konoha, it is your responsibility to capture this brat."

Faced with the commotion around him, Minato didn't know what to do. He stood aside without making a move, but Yang Xing's words changed his expression.

"Minato-sensei, I only owe you a favor, and that favor has been repaid today." Yang Xing sprinted forward at such a speed that the Starlight Group members couldn't even touch him. His Fire Style: Fireball Technique smashed into the roof, tearing a large hole, and then disappeared. No one else could catch up with him at that speed.

"Yang Xing!" Minato Namikaze couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes.

He understood perfectly well that Yang Xing hadn't made a scene because of him.

With his Sharingan possessing Three Sharingan Tomoe and the terrifying Ninjutsu Yang Xing, if he were to cause trouble, it would be a disaster for Konoha, and even he wouldn't be able to stop it.

These are things that the current group of people simply don't understand.

Nobody understands!

"This is too arrogant! This brat is far too arrogant!" A group of Council of Elders shouted angrily, "If we can't capture him, what will become of the reputation of the Konoha Council of Elders?"

"That's right, Fourth Hokage. He's your disciple, after all. You should be responsible for bringing that guy back."

"Yes, yes, Fourth Hokage, you must take responsibility for this. We absolutely cannot let this kid harm Konoha."

"I knew that kid wasn't a good person, Lord Fourth Hokage, we have to clean house!"

Faced with the words of several people, Minato Namikaze remained silent, only sweeping his rather indifferent gaze over everyone. As everyone shut their mouths, he walked towards one person.

It was located in the center of this conference room that the cause and instigator of the entire incident.

"Fugaku Uchiha, what exactly happened?" Minato Namikaze stepped forward, his voice rather cold. "Why did you discover that Yang Xing killed Uchiha Clan to obtain the Sharingan?"

"The Fourth Hokage might not know, but this matter only started circulating a few days ago." Fugaku Uchiha looked up, his expression serious, his face also grim. "Speaking of which, it should be the day after you set off."

"You should understand that Yang Xing wouldn't harm someone for no reason."

"I understand that," Fugaku Uchiha said hesitantly, his expression complicated, "Well, in short, Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze 'll find out as soon as you come with me."
