The Angry Uchiha
Hiruzen Sarutobi's words were supported by the two advisors, but Danzo Shimura was filled with disdain at this moment.
"Taking all the blame for something upon yourself is something only a weak person would do."
"The Uchiha Clan will inevitably become a huge hidden danger to Konoha Village."
"Just you wait and see."
Danzo Shimura knew that even if he Hiruzen Sarutobi today, there would be no problem.
Because time will prove that what I said is true.
More importantly, Konoha is severely weakened and urgently needs to recuperate, so many dirty and tiring tasks must be handled by its own Root Organization.
To put it more bluntly, no matter how much Hiruzen Sarutobi or the two advisors dislike him, they still need him.
This is the source of Danzo Shimura's confidence.
After saying this, Shimura Danzo ignored the reactions of Hiruzen Sarutobi and the two advisors, and stood up to walk out of the office.
Upon returning to his Root Organization headquarters, Danzo Shimura honestly summoned his subordinates.
This naturally included Shisui Uchiha.
"You all know that a stranger has recently come to the village."
"We have reason to suspect that this guy named Lin Yan might be a threat to Konoha Village. We need to keep a close eye on his every move."
"Shisui, I heard you've already teamed up with him."
Danzo Shimura looked at Shisui.
"Lord Danzo, I was only temporarily assigned to participate in the investigation of the Uchiha Police Force incident."
Shisui immediately explained.
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Danzo's eyes. "From today onwards, I'm putting you in charge of monitoring this man from top to bottom."
"Also, we need to find out what exactly the so-called ' Six Powers ' are."
"Understood, Commander."
Shisui respectfully accepted the order, turned around, and took his leave.
Meanwhile, Fugaku Uchiha returned to the Uchiha Clan's ancestral lands and immediately ordered a meeting of all core clan members.
"The current situation is this: I've called you all here in such a hurry because there's something I need to discuss with you."
"I met with the Third Hokage today and explained to him the recent conflict between the Konoha Police Force and the villagers."
"Now, the village is willing to mediate this matter on our behalf, but..."
Fugaku Uchiha recounted in detail the conditions that Hiruzen Sarutobi had set for him to every clan member present at the meeting.
At that very moment, Uchiha was also listening in the crowd.
He returned in the afternoon.
He was leaning against a pillar under the porch.
Hundreds of clansmen around them heard Fugaku Uchiha say that his Uchiha Clan would publicly apologize to the villagers in the village.
Furthermore, they must fully compensate the injured villagers for their medical expenses and other compensation costs.
This immediately displeased all the tribespeople.
"How is this possible! Is this the result of Lord Fugaku's negotiations with the village??"
"As expected, what the higher-ups were saying about taking care of our Uchiha Clan was all a lie! They're actually demanding that we compensate those unreasonable villagers! This is absolutely outrageous!"
"Of course! I will absolutely not accept this condition, and besides, I don't have that much money to pay compensation!"
"Me too, I have no money, but I'll take your life. Let them come and take it!!"
"Damn it... This isn't helping the Uchiha solve their problems at all! It's practically pushing us into a fire pit!"
"Why should the Uchiha Clan publicly admit their mistakes and apologize? We're not the ones who are wrong!"
"Lord Fugaku, may I ask where we went wrong? Is it really wrong to simply follow the rules and regulations of the Konoha Police Force and do our job diligently?"
"..."
Hundreds of tribesmen spoke one after another, each one seemingly possessed by explosives, their emotions running high.
Moreover, almost all the members of the tribe shared the same attitude.
The very idea of making them publicly apologize and atone is unacceptable to these proud and arrogant Uchiha clan members.
Moreover, now there's the issue of compensating the villagers as well.
This was even more unacceptable to the members of the Uchiha Clan.
"That's complete nonsense, illogical! Absolutely illogical!"
"This is unreasonable, Lord Fugaku!"
"No! I refuse to accept these conditions!"
"Fugaku, you are the head of the Uchiha Clan, representing the interests of our clan! How can you so easily agree to such unreasonable conditions proposed by the higher-ups?"
"Yes, this is outrageous! The clan chief should be leading us to improve our lives!"
"..."
The more the tribespeople talked, the more excited they became.
They not only cursed the higher-ups of Konoha Village, but also complained and accused the villagers of being unwilling to cooperate.
Meanwhile, some people blamed Fugaku Uchiha for the incident.
Like a transparent person, Uchiha, standing at the edge of the crowd, heard all of these conversations clearly at this moment.
"Just as I thought..."
Itachi was filled with disappointment.
"Just as I predicted, there's no way anyone can accept these conditions..."
He frowned deeply, lost in thought, feeling restless and unable to shake off his inner turmoil.
After listening for a while, Itachi decided he couldn't stay there any longer.
This environment made him feel incredibly depressed.
There was a strong urge to escape.
Itachi leaped onto the wall and disappeared in a flash.
This action was witnessed by Fugaku Uchiha.
However, at this moment, Fugaku was surrounded by a large group of clansmen, who kept pointing and complaining about why he hadn't argued for the Uchiha Clan in front of the village's higher-ups.
Fugaku Uchiha sighed inwardly, and had no choice but to calm down his agitated clansmen.
Itachi left his clan's territory and ran all the way to the outskirts of the village.
Just then, footsteps sounded behind them.
He stopped on the trunk of a large tree in front of him, turned around and looked behind him, and saw a figure approaching rapidly from behind.
"Brother Shisui?"
Itachi was surprised to see Shisui approaching.
Soon, Shisui arrived in front of him.
"Itachi, where are you going?"
"I went to pick up my younger brother from the training ground. It's late; I'm a little late today..."
"I'll go with you."
Shisui immediately replied.
Both of them are now members of the ANBU.
Upon hearing Shisui's words, Itachi immediately realized that this was no ordinary matter.
However, he only glanced at the screen slightly, and said nothing else.
"Good."
Itachi nodded, turned around, and subconsciously used the Six Powers, "Shave," to continue on his way.
