In Hokage Office, after ANBU finished his last sentence, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't speak for a long time.
Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, Shimura Danzō, all stared at the battle report.
Uchiha Shrine members share Chakra with the help of a unique battle formation, and most members can exert their Near-Kage Level combat power in the formation.
Kumogakure Many well-known Jonin who have gone through the war were lost one after another at the hands of Temple.
This line of words is like a knife, piercing directly into Konoha Leadership's heart.
Mitokado Homura adjusted his glasses and his voice was lower than before.
"In other words, Ren not only has himself in his hands, but also has a Uchiha force that can mass-produce Near-Kage Level's combat power."
Utatane Koharu gritted his teeth.
"Dozens of people penetrated Land of Lightning's defense line and pressed forward to Kumogakure's door. Kumogakure was forced to activate Chakra Cannon and two big Tailed Beasts."
"This kind of combat power can no longer be described as a ninja clan."
Hiruzen Sarutobi pressed the scroll on the table, tightening his fingers inch by inch.
ANBU hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Lord Hokage, there is also a piece of supplementary information sent back from the Land of Lightning battlefield."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looks up.
"Say."
ANBU lowered his head.
"Itachi Uchiha showed Mangekyō Sharingan on the battlefield, suspected of using the extremely powerful spirit Genjutsu, and severely injured a mysterious Masked Man with the space pupil technique at a glance."
The office became quiet again.
Mitokado Homura turned his head sharply.
"Itachi Uchiha?"
Utatane Koharu The sound is raised.
"That kid is only eleven years old!"
ANBU didn't look up.
"Information confirms that Itachi Uchiha has awakened Mangekyō Sharingan and has the combat power of Kage Level."
This time, even Danzo's one eye was lowered.
Eleven-year-old Mangekyo.
Kage Level combat power.
These few words stacked together bring too much pressure.
Mitokado Homura took a deep breath and spoke much faster than usual.
"Uchiha Ren, Uchiha Shisui, Fugaku Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha."
"Four pairs Mangekyō Sharingan."
"Among them, Ren can directly suppress Raikage and Tailed Beasts. Shisui has been famous for many years, Fugaku has been hiding his strength, and Itachi awakened Mangekyo at the age of eleven."
"Coupled with the backbone of Temple Formation and Military Police Force, Uchiha Clan's current overall combat power is comparable to that of a small ninja village."
Utatane Koharu turned blue.
"A small ninja village?"
"Homura, you put it lightly."
"They dare to attack Kumogakure now, and they can hit Kumogakure's door. If they turn around and attack Konoha, can Konoha still treat them as ordinary ninjas?"
After saying these words, ANBU in the office all lowered their heads.
No one dared to answer the call.
Because everyone knows that what Utatane Koharu said is the truth.
No matter how strong the former Uchiha was, he was still trapped in Konoha, being restrained at all levels by Military Police Force, villagers' opinions, Hokage orders, and relationships among various ethnic groups.
But things are different now.
Ren led Uchiha out of the village, penetrated Land of Lightning, and reached the door of Kumogakure.
If Uchiha wins this battle, when Uchiha returns to Konoha, he will not carry the prestige of his family, but the war achievements that can overwhelm the entire village.
Mitokado Homura looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a heavy tone.
"Hiruzen, Ren are not casual threats."
"Since he said in the letter that if Yaonai cannot be found within three days, he will give up the attack on Kumogakure and turn around to attack Konoha, then he must be able to do it."
Hiruzen Sarutobi held the pipe but did not light it.
Of course he understands.
Uchiha Ren is not Fugaku Uchiha.
Fugaku will endure, will delay, will consider Konoha the overall situation, and will repeatedly weigh between the tribe and the village.
Ren No.
He proved it every step of the way on the Kumogakure battlefield.
If Kumogakure dares to snatch Byakugan, he will dare to penetrate Land of Lightning.
If Konoha cannot hand over Yaonai, he will dare to point the blade at Konoha.
Utatane Koharu stood up suddenly.
"Then call a meeting!"
"Call Jonin Class, Major Clans Clan Leader, and the heads of important departments in the village to make public Ren's threatening letter to Konoha!"
"Let everyone see what kind of behavior Uchiha Ren is!"
"He is clearly Konoha Ninja, but he dares to threaten Hokage Building by attacking Konoha. If such a person still allows the villagers to regard him as a hero, Konoha will be dragged into the abyss sooner or later!"
Mitokado Homura frowned, but did not object immediately.
"Public letters can win some public opinion."
"But public opinion cannot stop Susanoo, nor can it stop Temple Formation."
"If Ren really comes back, Konoha must prepare for the battle in advance."
"ANBU needs to shrink the defense line, Barrier Team needs to strengthen the vigilance around the village, and all ethnic groups must communicate in advance. We cannot wait for Uchiha's troops to arrive in the village before reacting."
Danzo sneered.
"Preparing a defensive line?"
"Konoha's defense line is used to block external enemies, not the biggest hidden danger within the village."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at him.
"Danzo, what do you want to say again?"
Danzo was leaning on a cane, with a cold look in his one eye.
"What does Uchiha Ren care about most?"
"Family."
"Since he threatened Konoha with Yaonai, then Konoha can also threaten him with Uchiha in the village."
Utatane Koharu's expression changed, but he did not speak immediately.
Mitokado Homura said in a deep voice, "You want to detain the Uchiha people?"
Danzo's tone did not fluctuate at all.
"It's not a seizure, it's a risk control."
"Uchiha's main force is in Land of Lightning, but there are still a large number of clan members in the clan area, and Military Police Force also has people left behind."
"As long as Hokage orders ANBU and Gen to block Uchiha District at the same time, control the left-behind tribesmen, and then cut off Military Police Force's right to move, Ren will not dare to turn around and attack Konoha easily."
"If he dares to use troops, Uchiha in the clan will be the hostage."
The air in the office felt like it was being suppressed.
Several ANBUs even breathed very lightly.
Danzo These words are too harsh.
It is equivalent to taking action against Uchiha District before Ren comes back.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face completely darkened.
"No."
Danzo narrowed his eyes.
"Hiruzen, are you still hesitating now?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi placed the pipe heavily on the table.
"This is not hesitation."
"This is pushing Konoha directly into civil war."
He stared at Danzo and said word by word, "Uchiha District is not empty."
"Shisui is still in the clan."
"Uchiha elders are still here."
"Military Police Force There are still a large number of left-behind people."
"Fugaku Uchiha can't just sit back and watch us detain our clan members."
"Do you think ANBU and Gen can easily control the entire Uchiha once they take action?"
Danzo said coldly, "If we don't take action now, it will be even later when Ren comes back."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sounds heavier.
"If the attack fails now, Ren will immediately give up Kumogakure without waiting for three days and turn around to attack Konoha."
"At that time, Uchiha will no longer just question Hokage Building."
"They will treat this as Konoha Leadership going to war against the Uchiha Clan."
