Senju Clan Compound? Uchiha Clan Compound?

Just as the group of elders and Uchiha Fugaku fell into silence, Uchiha Zhi suddenly ran in.

"Clan Head, an Anbu member wishes to see you."

Hearing the mention of the Anbu, Uchiha Fugaku paused for a moment before speaking.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Receiving Uchiha Fugaku's order, Uchiha Zhi immediately went down to bring the Anbu member up.

Shortly after, an Anbu member walked up, knelt on one knee, and spoke.

"Clan Head Fugaku, this is the deed to the Senju Clan Compound that Lord Hokage has instructed me to deliver to you."

"Your clan may move into the Senju Clan Compound at any time."

Hearing the Anbu's words, the elders of the Uchiha Clan were stunned.

Was it not supposed to be the old Uchiha clan grounds?

How did it change to the Senju's?

Was this not a little too dreamlike?

"Uchiha Kagami, slap me. I want to see if I am dreaming."

Uchiha Kagami did not hesitate to vent the anger he had felt toward Uchiha Fugaku yesterday onto Uchiha Setsuna's old face; after all, such an opportunity was rare indeed.

With a crisp slap, Uchiha Setsuna was sent sprawling to the ground.

"Uchiha Kagami, you actually slapped me?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Kagami immediately feigned innocence and replied.

"You were the one who asked me to slap you."

The surrounding elders, who were watching in a daze, dared not speak, as those two were their superiors after all.

Seeing this scene, Uchiha Fugaku could not help but cough a few times before saying.

"Sorry for the trouble; just leave the deed on the table."

The Anbu member swiftly placed the deed on the table and wanted to leave as quickly as possible.

Seeing the Anbu member wanting to leave, Uchiha Fugaku immediately called out to him.

"Don't go yet. Remember to tell Lord Hokage not to forget that there are still things left to be given."

The Anbu member was stunned for a moment before immediately replying.

"Yes, Clan Head Fugaku."

Having left the Military Police Force, the Anbu member could not help but heave a sigh of relief; these Uchiha people were truly terrifying.

They would actually turn on their own people without a second thought—they were not to be trifled with, absolutely not to be trifled with.

Thinking of this, the Anbu member could not help but quicken his pace to get away.

After the Anbu member left, Uchiha Fugaku could not help but cough once and say.

"Great Elder, what were you thinking? Making us the laughingstock of the Uchiha Clan while the Anbu was still present?"

"And Third Elder, you as well. How could you agree to such a request?"

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, the two elders dared not speak further, as they had indeed lost face just now.

Moreover, they had lost face right in front of an Anbu member.

Of course, the real reason was that Uchiha Fugaku's fist was simply too big now; after all, the Complete Susanoo from yesterday had intimidated more than just Sarutobi Hiruzen.

It had also shaken these elders and that group of jonin.

Seeing that the two were no longer speaking, Uchiha Fugaku sighed and continued.

"Forget it, I will not pursue this matter this time."

"This is the deed to the Senju Clan Compound."

"In the next few days, arrange for the clansmen to begin the relocation and, at the same time, renovate the Senju Clan Compound."

"After all, it was a promise I made to you during the clan meeting."

"Although it is a bit worse than getting the original clan grounds, let's make do with it for now."

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, the elders were shocked once again. Originally, they had already given up hope of moving back to the center of the village today.

They had not expected happiness to arrive so suddenly.

That was the Senju Clan Compound! Once they moved in, those who still carried the Senju name would probably be furious to death, right?

Although we couldn't beat you during the Warring States period, your clan grounds are now about to be transformed into the image of our Uchiha.

"Understood, Clan Head Fugaku."

Once the excitement subsided, Uchiha Setsuna and Kagami Uchiha immediately took the land deeds with fervor, preparing to lead the other elders in making grand moves to renovate the Senju Clan Compound.

Just as Uchiha Setsuna was about to leave, Uchiha Fugaku called out to him once more.

"What was it you wanted to see me about earlier?"

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's inquiry, Uchiha Setsuna was momentarily stunned before replying.

"Wasn't it just about the relocation of the Uchiha Clan?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Setsuna's words, Uchiha Fugaku realized he had misunderstood the meaning earlier.

He immediately waved his hand at him and said.

"It's nothing, go ahead and busy yourself with the Uchiha Clan's relocation, and remember to keep a low profile."

"After all, our Uchiha Clan is one of the founding clans of Konoha."

"Keep it low-key so others won't keep saying we are too arrogant."

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's instructions, Uchiha Setsuna immediately replied.

"Understood, I will certainly keep a low profile."

At the Hokage Building.

Having been busy all night, Sarutobi Hiruzen puffed on his pipe while looking over the various documents seized from Root yesterday.

He then stood up to gaze at the prosperous Konoha and at the Hokage cloak draped over his shoulders; in the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen made up his mind.

"I am old, after all."

"If Jiraiya and Tsunade were still here, would things have developed this way?"

"I have been Hokage for a lifetime; it is time to let go."

Subsequently, Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes and, gritting his teeth, issued an order to the Anbu.

"Jia San, inform Jiraiya that the village has undergone a massive change and tell him to return to the village as quickly as possible."

"At the same time, search for Jiraiya's whereabouts in secret."

"Yes, Lord Hokage."
