Ruohuo left without looking back.
It's like some kind of determination has been made.
Third stared at the three Headband on the table for a long time, and then looked at Fugaku, "Fugaku, this kid..."
"Alas..."
Fugaku sighed and said bravely, "He is under too much pressure, Lord Hokage."
"Uchiha Clan... Many people were sacrificed."
I just finished saying this.
"Then you can't say such things!" Utatane Koharu kept banging on the table, "What is this? Defection? Or defection with the whole Uchiha Clan!"
"He is the patriarch of the Uchiha Clan. No matter how old he is, he represents the entire Uchiha Clan!"
"This is simply unreasonable and lawless!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded in the conference room.
Comes from Orochimaru, and doesn't shy away from it.
Third and the two elders looked together. Third's eyes were a little confused, while the two elders' eyes were slightly angry.
"What are you laughing at, Orochimaru? Is this how you teach your students?" Mitokado Homura asked.
In this regard, Orochimaru still kept smiling, smiling gracefully and calmly.
"Two elders... I may not be a qualified teacher, but I have never taught my students to bully the weak and fear the strong."
"Why don't you two dare to say these things to the child face to face?"
Orochimaru asked with a smile, "It was obviously your arrogance that angered the child, and you accused him behind his back of disobeying discipline..."
"Sir Elder, what qualifications do you have to discipline the patriarch of the Uchiha Clan?"
Orochimaru knows how to debate.
Utatane Koharu labeled Ruohuo as a defector and tried to put pressure on Fugaku and Uchiha.
Although it's not considered a random deduction...
Obviously in the eyes of Utatane Koharu, Ruohuo, who is still a child, cannot represent Uchiha, nor can he lead the entire Uchiha away from Konoha.
By putting pressure on Fugaku and labeling him a defector, if done properly, Konoha can not only ignore Ruohuo's demands for military merit and pensions, but can even further restrict Uchiha.
But Orochimaru just wants to remind these so-called Konoha High Command.
His students are serious about it.
"I have no obligation to discipline that brat."
Utatane Koharu said coldly, "I only know that Uchiha Clan's clan leader is suspected of treason, Konoha must take measures!"
"That's true." Mitokado Homura agreed, "Such remarks are too dangerous. If they are not disciplined, they will definitely cause trouble in the future!"
The two elders looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then looked at Third.
Seeing Third smoking with a sullen expression, he thought he was acquiescing to what he said, and suddenly he knew something about it.
"It seems that some people are no longer suitable to sit here. Please leave on your own."
Mitokado Homura said coldly, barely able to pronounce Fugaku's name.
"..." Fugaku pursed his lips and thought for a moment. He did not make eye contact with Orochimaru. Instead, he took a deep breath and stood up slowly.
"First of all, as the elder of Konoha, I will try my best to persuade Ruohuo and inform him of the various risks of doing so."
Fugaku lowered his gaze and said calmly, "But as the two elders said, Ruohuo is the patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, and he has the final decision-making power."
"Furthermore, even if Uchiha really breaks away from Konoha, whether it is a defection or not will be decided by Daimyo, not the two elders who can decide privately."
Having said this, Fugaku immediately felt the clear and powerful eyes of the two elders and Third.
But this made Fugaku calm down...
This is already the case...
Then just follow the plan.
"At the same time, as the deputy chief of the Uchiha Clan, I hereby express my disappointment and protest against Konoha High Command."
Fugaku said in a calm tone, "Uchiha Clan paid a huge price in exchange for Iwagakure's concession, Sunagakure's surrender, and Land of Rain's complete surrender."
"Everyone should be well aware of the benefits involved... but you are not even willing to pay the most basic pension. In this case, I have nothing to say."
"No matter what the final result is, I will resign as elder Konoha."
"Farewell!"
Fugaku strode out of the conference room and slammed the door.
This meeting, which was originally used to count Uchiha Clan's military exploits, is now more like a one-man show for Konoha High Command...
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
The high-pressure strategy against Uchiha in the past finally saw a rebound today.
If Ruohuo's "patriarch's declaration" is still considered childish in the eyes of the two elders and Third, it can be used as an excuse, but there is no need to pay attention to it...
So when Fugaku made a strong statement that he would resign as an elder, his nature immediately changed drastically.
Ruohuo wants to leave Konoha.
And Fugaku supports Ruohuo!
The three old men realized something at this moment.
If Ruohuo orders Uchiha to leave Konoha on the grounds that Konoha High Command refuses to pay the pension...
So now Uchiha is very likely to agree to him!
This is completely different from the nature of Uchiha Madara back then!
"Teacher... it's time for me to go."
At this time, Orochimaru also stood up.
The three old men immediately looked at Orochimaru like frightened birds. Is this guy going to leave too?
Where to go? Rebellion with Uchiha!
"Orochimaru..." Third looked at his student in confusion, "You are..."
"I have tried my best, teacher, now I have to discipline my students."
Orochimaru shook his head and said, "I have told the two elders a long time ago that today is a sad day for Uchiha, because they will hold a funeral soon to pay homage to the deceased clan members."
"But the two elders are so arrogant, which is really disappointing."
Orochimaru looked at the two elders coldly, showing a rare hostility that only appeared towards the enemy, and finally sneered.
"Look at the letter of surrender in front of you... You are not the first elder to see this letter of surrender."
"At least Elder Danzo, who is far away from Land of Rain, agreed to Ruohuo's application for military merit and signed his name..."
Third's expression was suddenly one of surprise.
The two elders quickly realized something, and their expressions suddenly became extremely exciting!
Orochimaru took the opportunity to deliver the final blow.
"Why do the two elders think Ruohuo said something that makes him directly responsible for Daimyo?"
"Besides being extremely disappointed with you, is there a possibility that someone is deliberately guiding this child?"
