Uchiha Setsuna could only place his hopes in Uchiha Minamoto once again.
As things stood now.
What Fugaku had said before really had been right.
For the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Minamoto was a new light!
Uchiha Setsuna had never dreamed that an old, decrepit ninja from a bygone era like him would one day step through the doors of the Hokage's office.
And as an advisor to the Acting Hokage, no less!
What more was there to say?
He would brave fire and water for the Commander-in-Chief without hesitation!
Sharingan, activate!
The three-tomoe pattern appeared in Uchiha Setsuna's eyes.
Hiruzen Sarutobi closed his eyes.
Only after a long while did he finally speak.
"...All right."
"Thank you for your understanding, Lord Third."
Uchiha Minamoto smiled and nodded to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Lord Third, and Advisor Utatane.
"Regarding the latest draft peace treaty with Kumogakure, I abstain, but Elder Setsuna may have a different opinion.
"You are all experienced, prudent ninja who consider matters more maturely and comprehensively than a young man like me. Please continue your discussion.
"I still have matters to attend to in the Konoha Military Police Force, so I won't disturb you any further."
After saying this.
Uchiha Minamoto did not wait for Hiruzen Sarutobi or Utatane Koharu to react.
He gave Uchiha Setsuna an encouraging look, then walked straight out of the Hokage's office.
The door to the Hokage's office closed gently.
His eyes scarlet and his face covered in a cold sneer, Uchiha Setsuna said bluntly.
"Lord Hokage! I oppose peace talks with Kumogakure!"
Here it comes... here it comes already...
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned utterly grim.
Utatane Koharu beside him looked little better.
"Uchiha Setsuna, you'll regret this!"
"Lord Hokage, I'm the advisor!"
