Shisui Uchiha's death only caused a brief stir among the ninjas paying attention to the Uchiha situation. It did not create much of a commotion.
Most of Konoha's upper echelon knew about the Uchiha's situation.
Everyone swept the snow from their own doorstep and cared little for the frost on another's roof.
Unless it affected Konoha's foundations, everyone only dealt with what was in front of them.
The Hyuga were like this, the Sarutobi were like this, and the Shimura were the same...
Only Hiruzen Sarutobi and the two advisors were troubled, and a world of headaches had been born.
How to deal with the Uchiha while ensuring Konoha's foundations remained unaffected was an enormous challenge for them as well.
They were not radicals like Danzo, who had only one thought.
That was to act...
To eliminate anything that posed a potential threat to Konoha.
They had to consider all sorts of consequences.
Tobitake Tonbo's thoughts were the same as those of the heads of the major clans.
What did the Uchiha's affairs have to do with him?
One's position determined one's thinking.
If he were the Hokage, then this would be his concern.
But he was not. He was merely the head of the Analysis Division and captain of the Barrier Development Team.
What he needed to do was gather intelligence,
develop Barrier Techniques,
and be a good father, husband, son, and teacher.
If he tried to meddle in everything, he would work himself to death. Besides, he had no particular friendship with the Uchiha.
His relationship with Itachi was no more than that of fellow Konoha ninjas.
Therefore, although Tobitake Tonbo paid attention to it, he would not involve himself too deeply.
Time passed.
Everything returned to normal.
The death of Shisui, the Uchiha's greatest combat force,
