Chapter 225: Return to the village on the night and hold a clan meeting!
It was a moonlit night and the Hokage Building was brightly lit.
The Sandaime was busy working when Danzo opened the office door and walked in anxiously.
Hearing the familiar and hurried footsteps, the Sandaime knew that it was Danzo who came in.
He processed the documents first, then looked up at Danzo:
"Did something big happen in Iwagakure? Or Kumogakure?"
Danzo shook his head and said nothing.
His eyes turned to the location of Hokage Rock outside the window, and the Sandaime followed Danzo's gaze and saw a black figure.
At this time, Haneda was quietly looking at the village.
Danzo said in a deep voice:
"What do you think we should do? He's back."
"I've told you before, sooner or later you'll regret your stupid decision! Hiruzen!"
The Sandaime looked up at the photo of the Fourth Daeime hanging on the wall, was silent for a while, and said:
"He won't destroy Konoha."
“This is his hometown after all.”
Hearing this, Danzo stared at the Sandaime:
"He won't destroy you, but he will drive you out of the position of Hokage and then kill me! Lead the Uchiha to rule Konoha!!"
"Hiruzen!"
Seeing Hiruzen fall silent, Danzo laughed secretly in his heart.
He proposed to the Sandaime:
"Leave this matter to me. I will give you a satisfactory explanation."
"You're thinking……"
"That's right, now Shisui is the only one in the village who can save Konoha! Leave him to me, and I will take care of this matter."
After Shisui awakened his Mangekyō and gained eyes that could modify the will of others, he immediately told the Hokage and Danzo.
The Sandaime naturally guessed Danzo's plan.
His friend wanted to use Shisui's love for Konoha to cast Kotoamatsukami to indirectly control Haneda.
In this way, the village will not only not lose the Uchiha, but will also gain a powerful fighting force.
What Danzo did would not harm Konoha, but it would sacrifice Haneda and Shisui, which made the Sandaime hesitant.
Suddenly, a ninja wearing a cat-faced mask appeared in the blink of an eye and saluted the Sandaime and Danzo:
"Hokage-sama, Danzo-sama."
"Shisui, do you have something to say?"
When the Sandaime saw Shisui coming, a kind smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Yes, Uchiha Haneda returned to the village tonight, and according to Itachi, the purpose of his return is to run for the position of Hokage."
When Shisui finished speaking, the Sandaime's eyes suddenly showed surprise.
And Danzo's face became very gloomy.
Haneda is not here to destroy Konoha, he actually wants to be Hokage!
In this case, Hiruzen might not be willing to agree to his plan!
"Hiruzen, it's time to make a decision. Are you still hesitating at this moment?!"
"Danzo, wait and see for a while. The Uchiha is always the Uchiha of Konoha, and Haneda is also the hero of Konoha."
Hearing that Hiruzen was again inclined to compromise with Haneda, Danzo glanced at Shisui's eyes and made up his mind.
"I understand that, an Uchiha will always be Konoha's Uchiha."
"Shisui, please pay more attention to Haneda's next actions during this period of time."
"You are the only one who can keep an eye on him now."
"You should also know what Haneda said here before he left."
"Yes, Lord Danzo."
Shisui responded, and when he saw that the Hokage didn't refute, the heavy stone in his heart fell.
At this time, a crow flew in and slowly landed on Shisui's shoulder.
There was a bundle of paper tied to the crow's claws.
Shisui knew that it was the information Itachi passed on to him, and it was likely that something important had happened in the clan!
"One against seven?" the Sandaime asked with a smile.
Shisui nodded, untied the note, and glanced at it:
"The clan is going to hold a clan meeting, and Itachi said that any Uchiha who is not present will be considered a traitor."
"Is it about Uchiha Haneda? He is still the same, liking to be dictatorial."
Danzo secretly belittled the inherently evil Uchiha brat, and then talked about business.
"Shisui, this is an urgent matter, you go back first. This clan meeting held by the Uchiha is most likely related to Haneda."
"As the dove representative of the Uchiha, he will definitely target you, so be careful."
Shisui felt a little uncomfortable that Danzo suddenly cared so much about him.
However, when he thought about the relationship between Danzo and his grandfather, Shisui began to understand.
He nodded, then said goodbye to Danzo and the Sandaime and left the Hokage building.
…………
Nanga Shrine.
When Shisui walked into this secret meeting place, the basement was now silent.
This was unlike any other gathering Shisui had attended before.
Before the clan leader and elders arrive, clan members who are familiar with each other will often chat with each other.
Shisui walked to his seat with doubt in his mind.
Suddenly, he noticed someone was staring at him and subconsciously looked in that direction.
It's Haneda and Itachi!
Itachi's eyelids twitched and he blinked from time to time, constantly conveying information to Shisui.
Haneda stared at Shisui for a while, then looked away.
But it is such an ordinary behavior that puts enough pressure on Zhishui.
Suddenly, he understood why his people had become serious and quiet.
Haneda’s aura is so strong, it’s intimidating!
After all the Uchiha jonin arrived, Fugaku glanced at Haneda, coughed a few times, and walked to the front of the many clan members.
"We called everyone here today. Actually, there's nothing to do. It's mainly because Haneda has something to say."
"Haneda, come up and tell me."
After Fugaku finished his opening remarks, he gave his seat to Haneda.
Shisui looked at his tribesmen who were used to it and felt a little strange.
Logically speaking, the convening of a clan meeting must be approved by the clan leader and elders, so how could it be convened just as Haneda said?
No matter how powerful Haneda is or how high his status is, he still has to abide by a set of rules, right?
As Haneda stepped forward to the stage, both the hawks and the doves became excited.
Their admiration was fully revealed in their eyes.
Haneda faced everyone's gaze and stood quietly on the stage for a few seconds.
He waited until their emotions calmed down before he spoke:
"I came here for two things."
"One is to denounce the inaction of Konoha's high-ranking officials and their targeting of the Uchiha."
"The second is to succeed the Fifth Hokage and unify the Uchiha front."
Haneda paused, glanced at his tribesmen, and finally his gaze rested on Shisui.
"Uncle Sakumo and Senior Minato led Konoha to victory in the Third Ninja World War."
"All the major powers, without exception, took the initiative to sign a peace agreement with Konoha."
"But Senior Minato, during the three years since I left Konoha, Kirigakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure have successively declared war on Konoha!"
"When did Konoha become so weak?"
"The enemies who were beaten into the dirt in the past have become so rampant!"
"This is the inaction and incompetence of Konoha's top brass!"
