"Kid, is it over?"
Uchiha Hanjō had been waiting for him at the Yuchui Boniyu Merchant Guild, along with most of the Uchiha Police Force.
They had not gone out.
Instead, they had been keeping Konoha's villagers calm. Since such a huge incident had occurred, and the Uchiha had the ability to stabilize the situation, Uchiha Hanjō had helped restore order in Konoha.
Now,
although Sarutobi Hiruzen's actions had caused unease among everyone, things had completely settled down.
All the Uchiha Police Force members had been comforting the villagers. Even the people from the major clans, aside from those who had gone out to watch the show, had all calmed down.
At the very least, they had been appeased on the surface.
"Everything's over. Next, Dad, you'll be Konoha's future Hokage!" Xuanyu looked at his father and spoke with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of teasing. "From now on... your statue will be carved onto Hokage Rock too!"
"No."
"Who are the people on Hokage Rock? Those people no longer deserve to be on it!"
"From now on, Konoha won't have a Hokage Rock!"
Xuanyu smiled as he spoke, his tone exceptionally calm.
It had to be said that after this battle, Uchiha Xuan Yu no longer had even the slightest good impression of Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, or the Sage of Six Paths. Tobirama Senju, in particular, had been willing to do anything to destroy the Uchiha, even sacrificing some people.
Hashirama Senju was even more the type to believe that might made right. While that did align with Xuanyu's own beliefs, Hashirama hypocritically claimed it was for the Shinobi World, which made it different. Moreover, after being revived, he had not trusted him at all and had even blindly believed Sarutobi Hiruzen.
A person like that
