A Spectacle He Couldn't Ignore!

Just as they were about to continue on their way, the scene ahead caught their attention—a group of people had gathered together, forming a fairly large circle, and it was quite lively, as if something was happening.

Koki originally intended to ignore it, not because he disliked joining in the fun, but because he didn't like to get involved when he had his own things to do.

However, just as he was about to quicken his pace to leave, a familiar voice came from the crowd, causing Koki to involuntarily stop in her tracks.

The voice was steady and powerful, carrying an unquestionable sense of authority; it was none other than the voice of the Uchiha Yashiro.

The Yashiro was Uchiha Fugaku's right-hand man, a high-ranking leader in the Konoha Military Police Force, and a highly respected figure in the clan.

His appearance often signifies that something important has happened or that there is an emergency that needs to be dealt with.

Koki frowned slightly. He realized that this was not an ordinary spectacle, but something that could not be ignored.

"What's wrong?" Koki suddenly stopped walking, and Obito, who was following behind, looked at Koki with a puzzled expression.

He wondered to himself: Could it be that Koki was also drawn by this sudden commotion and wanted to see what was going on?

"Something might have happened." Koki's voice was tinged with worry. "It's Yashiro's voice. He's the person Dad trusts the most."

"In that case, let's go see what happened. We still have enough time, and even if there's a slight delay, we can just pick up the pace later," Obito replied, his voice firm and strong.

Recently, Obito, who is staying at Koki's house, has gained a completely new understanding of the clan chief.

He discovered that this clan chief was completely different from the image he had in mind; he was not as fierce and ruthless as he had imagined.

Now that something truly has happened within the clan, how could he sit idly by?

"Let's go then!" Koki nodded in agreement.

Their eyes met, and then they walked forward in unison towards the bustling crowd.

With their agile figures and keen senses, Koki and Obito nimbly weaved through the crowded throng like fish, finally squeezing their way to the front.

Their arrival didn't attract much attention, as everyone's eyes were drawn to the standoff in the middle.

Standing before the crowd, everything became exceptionally clear.

Koki saw the Uchiha Yashiro, whose signature stern face was now even more tense, his brows furrowed, clearly indicating that he was in a state of extreme dissatisfaction.

Standing beside the Yashiro was three Uchiha members, still wearing the vests of the security team, their expressions equally serious, exuding an aura of unassailability.

Opposite them were three figures wearing animal masks.

Behind them, swords were carried on their backs, and masks concealed their true faces, but their clenched fists and sharp eyes revealed that they were no ordinary people.

Although Koki couldn't discern their exact identities from their clothing and demeanor, he could undoubtedly deduce that they were members of Root or the Anbu, and seemed to disregard the authority of the Uchiha Clan.

In this silent confrontation, an unidentified corpse lies quietly between the two sides' lines of confrontation, becoming the core of this undercurrent.

The air seemed to freeze, filled with an indescribable tension and oppression.

Koki before the crowd, Koki frowned, trying to glean a clue from the conversation between Uchiha Yashiro and the three Masked Man. However, their words were shrouded in mist, preventing him from grasping the truth.

As time passed silently, his patience, like a candle flame in the wind, flickered and threatened to go out.

This won't do! He has other things to do! They need to resolve these matters quickly; time is running out.

Finally, Koki decided to stop waiting for things to develop. He took a deep breath, his voice suddenly rising several decibels, and called out sincerely and firmly, "Uncle Yashiro!"

This urgent shout, like a thunderclap in spring, instantly shattered the tense atmosphere, and everyone's eyes focused on the young Uchiha Clan.

Upon hearing the sound, the Uchiha Yashiro reacted, a look of surprise flashing across his face before turning into joy.

Clearly, he hadn't expected to meet Koki here, in this way.

He replied with a hint of surprise, "Koki, what are you doing here?"

Meanwhile, the three men wearing animal masks, whose identities might be related to Konoha's Anbu or Root, showed clear hostility towards Koki's appearance.

The men's eyes were sharp as knives. When their gazes fell on Koki, it was as if they could see through his soul. Their fierceness and determination silently declared their hostility towards Koki.

Faced with these people's eyes that seemed intent on eliminating him, Koki was utterly bewildered, reflecting on what he had recently said or done that might have offended the Third or Danzo.

It seems not, right? Then what's going on with these people?

A stir ran through the crowd. This area was located on the border between the Uchiha territory and Konoha, so the people gathered included both Uchiha clansmen and Konoha villagers.

Some Uchiha Clan who were familiar with Koki began to whisper among themselves, feeling both curious and interested in the arrival of the clan leader's son.

The Konoha, unfamiliar with Koki, were puzzled by his identity. They whispered among themselves, trying to guess who this sudden young man was, that Uchiha Yashiro, who was clearly a leader of the Military Police Force, valued him so highly.

Koki felt the gazes and whispers around him, but he did not back down. He understood that as a member of the Uchiha Clan, especially in this situation, he had to show the sense of responsibility he should have.

He stepped forward, facing Yashiro and the masked man, his voice firm and calm. "Uncle Yashiro, I've heard that something happened here, and I believe I can offer my help."

Yashiro glanced at Koki, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes. He knew Koki's exceptional abilities and was also aware of the tense atmosphere on the scene.

"Okay!" He nodded, accepting Koki's suggestion, while also reminding him to proceed with caution.

Koki stood in the center of everyone's attention, his posture calm and firm, and despite the tense atmosphere around him, his eyes did not waver in the slightest.

He turned to Uchiha Yashiro, his tone respectful yet pleading. "Uncle Yashiro, could you please recount the events in detail from beginning to end? We need to know all the facts before we can make a fair judgment."
