Chapter 269 Emergency Meeting

After listening to the story, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt terrible, especially when he learned that the other party possessed the Sharingan and the huge, two-faced, four-armed humanoid Susanoo. How could he be so much like the vicious and evil person that Tobirama teacher described!

"Minato, take us back to Konoha!"

...

"call out",

The four of them appeared on the rooftop of the Hokage's office building.

After returning to the peaceful and tranquil village, the frightened Third Hokage patted his chest and said, "Phew, we're saved."

Orochimaru thought he didn't hear clearly, so he asked, "Sarutobi-sensei, what did you say?"

"Oh, nothing. I mean it's a good thing that guy ran fast, otherwise I would have beaten the shit out of him."

If his apprentice knew that he was scared back only by an uncertain guess, how would he, the great ninja Sarutobi Hiruzen, keep his dignity?

Orochimaru was even more confused: Did the old man say so many words just now?

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not give Orochimaru the chance to investigate further. He waved his hand and four ANBU members knelt on one knee in front of him.

"Hurry up and notify the three heads of the three families, Koharu Utatane, Danzo Shimura, Shinnosuke, and Ino-Shika-cho, to come to the Hokage building for a meeting. Remember, do not let the Uchiha clan know!"

“Hi.” Times 4.

The four ANBU disappeared into the night.

As the saying goes, small matters are handled in a big meeting, and big matters are handled in a small meeting. Obviously, the matter of the masked man is a big matter, and it is a big matter that must be kept secret, so Sarutobi Hiruzen only summoned his absolute direct descendants.

Only a few moments later, all those who had been forcibly summoned arrived at the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in his usual office, with Utane Koharu and Shimura Danzo on his left and right.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke naturally stood behind his father.

Orochimaru stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

The three heads of the Ino, Shikaku and Chou families were only 17 years old and it was their first time attending such an emergency meeting. They couldn't help but look nervous. Even Shikaku was no exception. He sat with Minato on the four newly moved chairs.

As for Xuanwu, he stood in the middle of the office like a prisoner on trial.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been smoking non-stop to relieve his anxiety since returning, paused for a moment and said, "Xuanwu, repeat what you just said to me."

Xuanwu nodded and said, "Okay, everyone, tonight the Daimyo's palace was attacked by two unidentified ninjas..."

After Xuanwu finished speaking, the six newcomers all looked solemn.

Ino, Shikacho and Shinnosuke were shocked by the strength of the masked man, but it was different for Utane Koharu and Danzo, they also thought of that man and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in the middle at the same time.

Danzo suppressed his shock and said, "We already understand the situation. Akimichi Genbu, you take the four of them down. Orochimaru, Shinnosuke, you two go down as well."

It was obvious that Danzo felt that the issues to be discussed next should not be known to others.

His words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of others. The outspoken Akimichi Choza muttered in a low voice: "Tsk, it was the Hokage who summoned us here, not you. Why should we listen to you? What do you think..."

Although his voice was low, it was quiet in the environment. Except for Utane Koharu who was suffering from illness, all the others in the room were elite jonin at best, and they all had keen hearing.

Nara Shikaku quickly covered Akimichi Choza's mouth and shook his head at him to stop him from speaking any further.

Even so, Danzo's face turned black: Damn it, do young people nowadays look down on him?

After stopping Chozo, Shikaku did not leave but looked at the Third Hokage. What a joke! They, Ino-Shika-Chou, are close friends of the Sarutobi clan. When will it be their turn to look at Danzo's face?

The others were pretty much the same. Although they didn't complain as much as Ding Zuo, they didn't automatically say anything either.

Now Danzo was even angrier. Damn it, you bunch of little brats! When I become Hokage, I’ll show you how I’ll deal with you!

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally spoke, "Danzo, everyone here can be trusted. There is no need to hide anything. Just tell me what you have to say."

Danzo felt gloomy in his heart: Humph, those who know this place are your direct descendants, I don’t bother to get angry with you.

"Based on what Akimichi Genbu just said, in my impression, the identity of the masked man is no other than that person. What do you think?"

Utane Koharu, who had just taken several pills to calm down, was still trying to adjust her state and just nodded in response.

Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed his pipe on the table and said four words with a heavy heart, "Uchiha Madara!"

"what!"

After these words were spoken, everyone except the Big Three became nervous!

Uchiha Madara, the Shura of the Ninja World, one of the two heroes of the Warring States Period, is the strongest clan leader of the Uchiha clan in hundreds of years, bar none. He is capable of annihilating the nine tailed beasts and killing his way through the entire Ninja World. He is an existence that only the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, who is known as the God of Ninja, can suppress.

He once fought against an army of 10,000 people alone and came out unscathed, instead defeating the enemy.

He once subdued the strongest tailed beast, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, with just a glance.

He once forced the only two users of bloodline elimination, the Second Tsuchikage Mu and the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, to surrender simply by relying on his aura.

There are countless legends about him, and all of them speak of his power.

It was because of him that the Second Hokage spared no effort to monitor and restrict the Uchiha clan, and the Third Hokage even intensified it. The reason why the two generations of Hokage maintained consistent policies was ultimately because they were afraid that the Uchiha clan would have a second Uchiha Madara. If that day really came, it would be a disaster for them because they would not have a second Senju Hashirama.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had previously tried various tests on Genbu, whom he considered a genius ninja. He was so nervous when he learned that Genbu possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, and was so relieved when he confirmed that Genbu had no brothers. He was only 90% relieved when he confirmed that Genbu was blind.

What is he afraid of?

What Shinobi was afraid of was never Xuanwu, but the figure he feared most in his heart, Uchiha Madara, whose back he trembled involuntarily when he just caught a glimpse of when he was a child.

Even though Uchiha Madara has been dead for many years, he is still a nightmare that the ninja world does not want to mention. Just hearing his name can make others feel cold in their hearts.

The entire Hokage's office was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and even breathing could not be heard.

Everyone looked at each other with wide eyes.

Shikaku knew that he should think of some ways, but in the face of absolute strength, all strategies seemed so ridiculous.

After a while, Sarutobi Shinnosuke behind the Third Hokage swallowed and said, "Dad, are you saying that the masked man who fought with Xuanwu and others tonight and blew up the Daimyo's palace might be Uchiha Madara who was killed by the First Hokage?

No way, this is impossible, how could the First Hokage fail? He is the God of Ninja!

It can't be him, absolutely impossible, I don't believe it!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped the incoherent Shinnosuke and said, "Calm down, this is just speculation. Why are you so nervous? Look at your incompetence!"
