"Hey, wasn't it you who summoned Fugaku and told him to keep the Uchiha away from Kushina? Who would have thought that Fugaku Uchiha not only refused, but even dared to mock me? He claimed that unless I declared the Uchiha were not Konoha ninja, he would immediately lead the Uchiha out of Konoha. Otherwise, they would never deliberately keep their distance from Kushina." The Third Hokage said angrily, his tone carrying suppressed fury.
"How dare Fugaku Uchiha? It seems Uchiha Chuan gave him the courage. He's getting more and more arrogant. Damn Uchiha Chuan!" Utatane Koharu immediately gritted her teeth in hatred, her eyes blazing with rage.
"So, Hiruzen, you had the ANBU monitor Kushina, and Kushina reacted too strongly?" Mitokado Homura looked calmly at the Third Hokage, a hint of inquiry in his voice.
"That's right. To keep Kushina from contacting the Uchiha, I arranged for two ANBU squads to monitor her in shifts. I didn't even leave her any private space, lest she evade surveillance and use some other method to contact Uchiha Chuan. As a result, Kushina openly declared to the ANBU that she would drive me from office and become Hokage herself. Now, she has already sent Minato to ask Uchiha Chuan how she can become Hokage." The Third Hokage spoke with a headache, his tone full of helplessness.

Forcing the issue would only drive him completely toward the Uchiha. I'm preparing to have someone call Jiraiya back. He should be able to persuade him to return." The Third Hokage sighed, weariness
