The blunt words made Huayue frown as he was enjoying the lunch that Yugao had prepared. After Uchiha Tekka and the others left, he put down his chopsticks and bowl, his face full of disgust.
"These troublesome clansmen, should we report them to the Third Hokage?"
Yugao remained silent, then created a Shadow Clone and rushed towards the Hokage Office Building, quietly tending to the flowers and plants on the balcony.
Seeing this, Huayue smiled without saying a word, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over the white snake lurking in the dark corner, concealing its presence.
"Are they all getting restless? The troublesome guys are all back, really."
On the other hand, many of Konoha's Jonin gathered to discuss countermeasures after the Night of the Nine-Tails.
"With the Fourth Hokage dead, the village urgently needs a new Hokage. Should we select an excellent Jonin from the new generation?"
Mitokado Homura spoke calmly, Utatane Koharu frowned and retorted.
"The new generation of ninjas are too young, and only Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Huayue are qualified to run for Hokage."
" Hatake Kakashi's father, Hatake Sakumo, was an excellent ninja of Konoha, trained by the Fourth Hokage, but his personality needed refinement. As for Uchiha Huayue..."
Sitting on the edge, Uchiha Fugaku narrowed his eyes. As an excellent Jonin, no matter how the Hokage Advisor tried to hide it, one could see the fear and complexity in their eyes.
Utatane Koharu stammered, offering no concrete explanation, while Sarutobi Hiruzen silent, letting the smoke swirl around him.
In terms of achievements, like Namikaze Minato, he saved several local battlefields and once saved hundreds of Konoha ninjas in battle.
In terms of strength, he faced the Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki head-on during the war, killed the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and suppressed the Nine-Tails on the Night of the Nine-Tails.
In terms of public sentiment, his superb Medical Ninjutsu, displayed after the war, successfully saved most of the wounded, and coupled with the trust of many non- Secret Jutsu ninja clans...
Based on these qualities, he is indeed qualified to participate in the Hokage election, but... how could the Konoha F4, who uphold the Second Hokage's philosophy of governing the village, possibly recommend an Uchiha clan member who could threaten the village as Hokage candidate?
To become like Zhao Gao, one must have the opportunity to enter the palace. Danzo's words extinguished this non-existent spark.
"We haven't yet clarified the suspicions surrounding Uchiha Huayue. We'll wait until the Anbu have thoroughly investigated before making any decisions. The village can't be left without a leader. At this critical juncture, we should..."
"Then I will temporarily act as Hokage. Once the next generation grows up, the new Hokage will become the pillar of the Konoha family!"
Danzo, whose words were interrupted three times and whose ambitions were stuck in his throat, Danzo a gloomy expression, just like the day he faced the Second Hokage.
'It's you again, it's you again, Sarutobi!'
While roaring inwardly, the two Hokage Advisor both breathed a sigh of relief. With the retired Third Hokage willing to step forward, there was no need to worry about the selection of the Hokage.
"Wait, after the Hokage issue is resolved, we'll address the resettlement of the various clans in the meeting room later."
Danzo slowly stood up, glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and then turned and walked towards the conference room next to him.
For some reason, Uchiha Fugaku felt a sense of foreboding as he followed behind the heads of the various prestigious Konoha clans.
The night was as still as water, and a strange sense of loneliness crept into the banks of the ever-flowing Nanka River.
"Will you come in with me?"
A strange smile curved at the corners of her lips, Yugao beside her shook her head slightly, indicating that she would wait outside.
"Do as you please, just don't let those troublesome guys find out."
On the road leading to the Naka Shrine, Fugaku and Mikoto, who were receiving members of the Uchiha clan one by one, looked down at the foot of the mountain.
Among the many Uchiha Clan, the top-ranked fighters were on high alert, not daring to relax their guard in the slightest.
The familiar Three-Eyed Demon Fox Mask, the Dark Red Bandage binding his hands and feet, the black cloak fluttering in the breeze.
"This is your first time attending a clan gathering since the end of the Third Great Ninja War. Please come in."
With a barely perceptible nod, Moonwalk inside. The Konoha Military Police Force members, who had been secretly harboring resentment towards Huayue, suddenly fell silent.
Time passed slowly until the last Uchiha clansman entered, at which point the Naka Shrine sealed its gates completely.
"Everyone is here, let's begin this clan gathering."
Upon hearing this, the whispering crowd fell completely silent. Uchiha Fugaku an air of authority, his gaze sweeping over the crowd before lingering for a long time on the Demon Fox Mask, before continuing.
"Today's clan meeting mainly has three things to do."
'Fairness, fairness, and more fairness!'
Bored to the point of having his thoughts wandering, Huayue added in his mind, when he heard Fugaku speak.
"First of all, congratulations to Uchiha Huayue successfully awakening the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan Mangekyou Mangekyō Sharingan and will never lose its light."
In an instant, a pair of blood-red eyes gleamed with a cold, crimson light, causing the fire to flicker nearby, as they gazed intently into the darkness hidden beneath the Demon Fox Mask in the corner.
Although she didn't know what Fugaku was up to, Huayue had no choice but to look up and try her best to cooperate with his performance.
The exquisite and intricate patterns spun slightly against the backdrop of blood and black, and in just a moment, they caused the Sharingan that had swept over the Huayue to instantly retreat in defeat.
"What powerful eye power! I, Uchiha Inabi, would call Huayue the strongest!"
"These are eyes that will never lose their light, eyes comparable to those of the first clan leader of Konoha, and the legendary Uchiha Madara?"
There was a buzz of discussion in the room, and Fugaku's eyes showed joy and relief. He then spoke again.
"The second thing is that, after this incident, the village has decided to make the southeast corner the gathering place for the Uchiha Clan, and plans to have us relocate soon."
These words caused a huge uproar, instantly igniting the anger of the Uchiha Clan.
"Why should I, a woman, have the right to do this?"
"Damn Sarutobi, let's kill them!"
"Do the Konoha High Command think the Uchiha Clan has no strong fighters?!"
The crowd was instantly agitated. Fugaku glanced at Huayue and Shisui without leaving a trace, and only continued speaking after the clamor subsided slightly.
"Regarding the third matter, Uchiha Huayue is probably more aware of the specifics, and some people are likely already aware of the recent rumors..."
"The fact that the Nine-Tails was controlled by the Sharingan and sent to Konoha by some method..."
Suddenly, a clear, youthful voice interrupted Fugaku's next words.
"That incident, the Nine-Tails being controlled by the Sharingan and summoned using Summoning Jutsu, isn't a rumor, it's true!"
"That night, the Nine-Tails was indeed controlled by someone; I saw it with my own eyes."
