Therefore, except for the Anbu power that is still following.
The remaining thousands of pursuit troops dispatched in the original plan only collided with the remaining power behind the Uchiha Clan once before slowly retreating back to the village under the command of Third Hokage.
All decisions must be based on the stability of the village. This is Third Hokage's judgment. Even if Uchiha Clan will definitely bring greater trouble and turmoil in the future, that is something to talk about later. At this stage, the threats from Iwagakure and Kumogakure are more direct and substantial, and Third Hokage cannot ignore this.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu also agree with this view.
Under the strong pressure of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzō's rebuttal was weak at all.
And in order to prevent problems from happening again and again, this time Sarutobi Hiruzen really issued a firm order to restrict the Root actions of Danzo. From now on, without Hokage orders, Root cannot enter and exit Konoha at will. All actions need to be reported. It can only be approved by him as Hokage. Although it is easiest to ban Root directly, firstly, now is not the time to do this. Secondly, Sarutobi Hiruzen's old problem of being soft-hearted has resurfaced. Danzo is his old friend after all, and Sarutobi Hiruzen can even be forgiven for assassinating himself.
Not to mention these things nowadays.
But even so, Danzo didn't think Sarutobi Hiruzen was good at all. Instead, he became more and more jealous of Hiruzen Sarutobi. In the final analysis, Danzo has gradually gone down the evil path since Second Hokage chose Sarutobi Hiruzen to become Third Hokage, the kind that cannot be pulled back.
But now he really has no choice but to keep it deep in his heart, waiting for a suitable opportunity in the future.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi! You will definitely regret it! You will definitely regret it!"
In the end, he could only leave such words angrily, and then return to his home Root Base with a furious look on his face.
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not pay attention to Danzo's emotional changes. Focusing on dealing with foreign affairs is currently Konoha's top priority. When it comes to the Uchiha Clan's problems, this time it can only be confirmed that Uchiha will leave Land of Fire is fine within the territory. Although it is very unsatisfactory, Third Hokage, who is 'cautious' by nature, really doesn't want to cause trouble at this time. When Uchiha Clan left Konoha, what Third Hokage directly and officially announced was the so-called 'peaceful separation! '
That's right, you treat people all over the world as if they are blind, regardless of whether others believe it or not, and you even treat your own family members as 'blind' and 'deaf'. You must know that a few days ago, Sarutobi Hiruzen himself also swore that all members of the Uchiha Clan were S-class rebellious and would be killed without mercy. Now they turned around and the two parties "peacefully broke up". It can be said that this is the most typical standard performance of being both responsible and independent.
Facing Left Minister sent by His Highness Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Third Hokage also made the same rhetoric. Whether it is true or not, the most important thing is to have a "superficial reason"!
It can be said that when the people of the world learned this news, they could really get to know Third Hokage and Konohagakure again.
It may be said that in Sarutobi Hiruzen's opinion, this is the 'best judgment' he made under many concerns, but undoubtedly in the eyes of the outside world, this is a very 'weird' decision. The same thing should be made the same choice and judgment in other countries and Ninja Villages, only Konohagakure is different.
From this point of view, the Second Hokage-Tobirama Senju of those years were truly 'discerning heroes', and the next generation of leaders selected for their own ninja village could be regarded as the most 'excellent' existence in the world.
When the heads of the countries and the shadows of the major ninja villages learned this news, they all showed subtle expressions of varying degrees.
Including Uchiha Clan who is a party involved.
When Shōji, Fugaku, Shisui, and the only remaining three elders Sōgen, Genran, and Chie heard the news, their expressions were as exciting as they were!
Land of Fire, in the dense forest outside a medium-sized town near the northwest border, Uchiha Clan, who escaped from Konohagakure, finally came to the area closest to Land of Earth after three or four days of trekking.
Although the ordinary clan members had almost no casualties, more than a third of the ninjas in the clan were killed in the two battles, and the number of seriously injured and lightly injured people was not low. However, the clan can finally be said to have successfully escaped Konohagakure.
The price paid by these killed and injured tribesmen can be considered meaningful and valuable.
Therefore, these days, let alone Shōji and Shisui, Fugaku, Sōgen, Chie, the older generation Uchiha, are feeling mixed with sadness and relief.
Especially after accurately obtaining the information announced by Sarutobi Hiruzen through some of their own special channels, as well as the situation of the Konoha chasing troops who had just caught up with their clan the day before, fought with them and then inexplicably withdrew, we can draw a conclusion that their clan has become 'relatively safe' at least for now.
But only for the time being!
As long as you don't really get a stable footing, everything is false and ethereal.
At this moment, the Uchiha people gathered in this forest also needed a good rest after the long journey in the past few days. Shōji, Fugaku, Shisui, Sōgen, Chie, as well as Yashiro, Kogen, Tekka and more than a dozen people below are also gathered together at this moment to discuss the clan's next plan.
"Peaceful separation, Sarutobi Hiruzen can really say such words shamelessly!? I really made a mistake at the beginning, that's why I thought this old guy was better than that bastard Shimura Danzō, but now it seems that they are all the same!"
The white-haired Elder Sōgen said with a cold snort.
It is obvious that Elder Sōgen is still full of anger towards Sarutobi Hiruzen's performance before and after. Danzo will not mention it, that is Uchiha Clan's number one and biggest enemy.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu are the same existences that Uchiha Clan doesn't have much favorable impression of, but Sarutobi Hiruzen is in the Uchiha Clan There is a certain weak favorable impression, even for a clansman who doesn't like Sarutobi Hiruzen very much, it is difficult to tell what is really hateful about this Third Hokage, assuming that this incident happened before.
Sinister, insidious, indifferent, almost any words that can be thought of, they are thrown at this Third Hokage.
Including Shisui are extremely disappointed.
Among the family, Shōji is probably the only one who can look at Third Hokage with a slightly calmer attitude.
"Humph, I guess Jing was deceived like this back then. Sarutobi Hiruzen is just like Shimura Danzō, a sinister and cunning person!"
Elder Genran said with the same cold snort.
