Kusagakure, spacious conference room.
A scroll with the Konoha logo was placed quietly on the table. Uchiha Fugaku and other core members of the Uchiha Clan were all sitting here, staring at the scroll.
"Konoha sent a peace letter, promising not to touch Hidden Village within three years. What do you think?" Uchiha Fugaku frowned and said in thought.
Sasuke took the scroll from the table, looked at it carefully, and then said, "The Konoha information that brother has will become invalid within a year. It seems that Konoha and the others have indeed given in."
"Konoha is probably doing this because he wants to hold us back. Lei and others will attack us three years later. By that time, they will have no worries."
Uchiha Yashiro thought for a moment and then sneered, "What a good plan."
"Then what should we do? Or leak Konoha's information?" Shisui asked.
Shisui was very angry about Konoha's assassination of Sasuke on the way, so if Konoha's information was really leaked, he would definitely support it.
"It's best not! Our current strength is still very weak. If Konoha jumps over the wall and attacks Hidden Village, we will be in trouble."
Shaking his head, Sasuke said.
"Then let Konoha go like this?"
Uchiha Yashiro asked rhetorically.
Sasuke nodded and said helplessly, "In exchange for three years of peace, we can develop and enhance our strength."
Uchiha Fugaku tapped his fingers lightly on the table. After a moment, he said, "Then reply Konoha according to Sasuke's wishes. Rather than trying to compete for face, we now need more time to develop."
"Also, do you have any opinions on keeping Zabuza Momochi?"
After the words fell, Uchiha Fugaku continued to speak.
After all, Zabuza Momochi is a very special ninja. His staying in Hidden Village will arouse the hostility of Kirigakure, and may even trigger a war, so it must be carefully considered.
"Chief, Zabuza Momochi must not stay. He once launched a coup. This kind of ninja Kirigakure will definitely not let him survive. Keeping him will only be a disaster."
Hearing this, a Uchiha tribesman objected.
"Yes, Zabuza Momochi is not from our Uchiha clan nor from Hidden Village. There is no need to offend Kirigakure because of a foreign ninja."
After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Yashiro agreed.
"Yeah!"
The other Uchiha clan members nodded.
Zabuza Momochi is a master that Sasuke finally invited. Sasuke will naturally not agree with their method.
After a moment of silence, Sasuke said, "Zabuza Momochi is the master of Water Release. If he can become our Hidden Village ninja, then he will train many Water Release ninjas for Hidden Village in the future, and Hidden Village's strength will naturally be greatly enhanced."
"Sasuke is right. Most of our Uchiha clan members are proficient in Fire Release Ninjutsu. Hidden Village indeed lacks Water Release ninjas like Zabuza Momochi."
After Sasuke finished speaking, Shisui immediately expressed support.
"What if Kirigakure launches a war against us because of Zabuza Momochi?"
What Sasuke said is true, but Uchiha Yashiro and the others could not help but change their expressions, and they said worriedly.
"I also thought about this issue before recruiting Zabuza Momochi, but I think Kirigakure has a high probability of not starting a war. Since we are far away from Land of Water, they want to start a war. We need to solve the supply problem, and secondly, our ability to escape from Konoha will also scare them, and they will also consider whether to risk losing the war for a Zabuza Momochi."
Knowing their worries, Sasuke slowly analyzed.
"I support Sasuke's opinion! When we Uchiha Clan were about to face disaster, it was his strategy that saved Uchiha Clan, so we have reason to continue to trust Sasuke!"
Sasuke's words made the atmosphere in the conference room quiet down. The silence lasted for a while, and then a deep voice broke the silence.
The person who said this was none other than Uchiha Itachi who would only stand on Sasuke's side.
"Thank you brother!"
Sasuke was naturally very happy to get Itachi's support, and then smiled at Itachi.
Listening to Itachi's words, with a look of deep thought on his face, Uchiha Fugaku suddenly said, "Since everyone has different opinions, let's vote according to the old rules. Zabuza Momochi raised his hand if he agreed to stay."
Perhaps Itachi's words had an effect. Most of the clan members finally chose to side with Sasuke, and they all agreed to keep Zabuza Momochi.
"Okay, since everyone agrees to keep Zabuza Momochi, then Zabuza Momochi will be our companion from now on. We cannot abandon him no matter when."
After the voting ended, Uchiha Fugaku announced in public.
"Yeah!"
Everyone nodded.
"Nothing's wrong, everyone should leave!"
After solving two major issues, Uchiha Fugaku also breathed a sigh of relief and waved.
As Uchiha Fugaku finished speaking, the people in the conference room slowly left.
"Sasuke, you stay first!"
When they were almost gone, when Sasuke was about to leave with Itachi, Uchiha Fugaku suddenly called out to Sasuke.
"Brother, wait for me outside."
Smiling at Itachi, Sasuke walked up to Uchiha Fugaku and asked, "Dad, what's the matter?"
"I met and talked with Zabuza Momochi last time. He didn't seem to have made up his mind to join Hidden Village. He seemed to be still hesitating."
Uchiha Fugaku didn't beat around the bush, just said it directly.
"Well, even if we are willing to keep an elite ninja like Zabuza Momochi, he may not be willing to stay in a ninja village like ours."
Sasuke responded seriously.
"Then you have time to persuade him. It would be best if you can stay. If you can't stay, don't force him."
Sighing, Uchiha Fugaku also knows that strong melons are not sweet, and then said softly.
"I know!"
I was also thinking about how to persuade Zabuza Momochi to join Hidden Village. Finally, Sasuke nodded and agreed.
Land of Water is composed of many islands. The islands are full of mountains and filled with mist. Kirigakure is hidden in the mountains, thousands of miles away from the enemy.
Kirigakure Village, as its name suggests, is looming and mysterious.
Kirigakure is located in a valley among the lofty mountains. The layout of the village is irregular due to the terrain. It is either built along the mountain or lying in the valley near the water.
The building where Mizukage is located is built on the basis of a large number of stones and has huge stone arches. It is located on the high side of the mountain and has a panoramic view of the entire village. This is also a kind of respect for "Mizukage".
When Danzo passed the information that "Hidden Village took in Zabuza Momochi" to Fourth Mizukage, Fourth Mizukage Yagura immediately held an emergency meeting in Mizukage Building's conference room.
