Chapter 141 The New Dead

Two days have passed, but Fugaku still hasn't found out who the tribesman was who took action. This can't help but make Fugaku feel a little dizzy, and his mood is getting more and more anxious day by day.

It's not like he hasn't thought about finding a scapegoat for the crime, but as the leader of the Uchiha clan, he doesn't allow himself to do this. Moreover, if the truth is revealed, he will chill the people of the clan, and maybe his position as clan leader will also. No guarantee.

Although Fugaku also knew that Minato would not go to war with them directly because of this incident, after this incident, the Uchiha clan really had no way to gain a foothold in the village.

Mikoto frowned and looked at Fugaku, feeling very sad. He wanted to share Fugaku's inner pain, but she was a woman and couldn't do anything.

"Lord Patriarch, it's not good."

At this moment, a member of the Uchiha clan hurried over and said in a panic.

"Speak slowly, what happened?"

Fugaku frowned, he was very dissatisfied with the panic state of his tribe.

"One of the tribesmen died."

"What?"

Fugaku stood up directly.

"Where are the people?"

"In the woods of the village."

"Take me there quickly."

Uchiha Fugaku hurriedly followed his tribe to the woods. Several members of the Uchiha clan were already standing here. Seeing Fugaku's appearance, they all made way for him.

"Clan leader, they went too far. They actually attacked our people directly."

A member of the Uchiha clan clenched his fists and said with an unwilling face. Although the Uchiha clan is arrogant and domineering, it is the most united family, except for a few individuals.

So this time, when they saw the corpses of their own people, they were very angry.

Fugaku walked to the corpse step by step, with an extremely angry expression on his face. Seeing the corpses of his own people, he knew without even thinking that it was the people from Konoha who did it.

"Have you figured out the cause of death?"

Fugaku asked in a deep voice.

"Well, the cause of death was a penetrating injury to the heart, caused by Lei Dun."

"Lei Dun's penetrating injury? Is there any specific suspect?"

Fugaku held his shoulders with his hands. He looked very calm on the surface, but his clenched fists betrayed his excitement inside.

"There are many ninjas who can use thunder escape in Konoha, but there are not many ninjas who are proficient in thunder escape, and there are even fewer people who can inflict such wounds."

Hearing this description from his own tribe, a white-haired figure suddenly appeared in Fugaku's mind.

At this moment, the Fourth Hokage appeared here with several ANBU.

"Hokage, what are you doing here?"

At this time, a member of the Uchiha clan noticed the arrival of Namikaze Minato and said in a very unkind tone.

Uchiha Fugaku also heard this and looked towards Minato, while reprimanding the tribesman just now.

"Don't be rude to Hokage-sama. Apologize quickly."

Although the tribesman didn't want to do this, when he saw Uchiha Fugaku's Sharingan, his heart became cold and he quickly bowed to Minato and apologized.

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama."

"It's okay, I understand how you feel."

When the Fourth Hokage first heard the news, he felt that something was about to happen, so he rushed here with several Anbu without stopping.

"Hokage-sama, should you give me an explanation as to why my people died here?"

After paying homage first, Fugaku now directly questioned Minato.

"I'm also sorry that something like this happened. I will help you find out the truth as soon as possible."

"Hmph, the one who did it was your ANBU captain, Kakashi Hatake. Is there anything else that needs to be investigated?"

At this time, another member of the Uchiha clan spoke up and said that they had no respect for the Hokage in their hearts.

"Except for Kakashi, is there anyone else in Konoha who can achieve this kind of penetrating injury caused by Thunderbolt?"

Then, he pointed at the body and said.

Hearing this, Minato also glanced at the corpse and immediately frowned. Judging from the wounds, they indeed looked like those caused by Kakashi's Raikiri.

"Kakashi, did you do this?"

As soon as Minato finished speaking, a white-haired ANBU ninja suddenly appeared in front of Minato.

"Report to the Hokage-sama, no."

Kakashi didn't give any unnecessary explanation. Although the wound did look like it was caused by Raikiri, it looked much rougher. With Kakashi's current mastery of Raikiri, he could already restrain the lightning and make it even more powerful. It's not a burnt wound caused by external lightning.

"Huh, this is just your one-sided statement. If you say it's not true, it's not true. Can anyone prove that you didn't do this?"

The man still yelled unwillingly, and Fugaku did not stop the other person's behavior, because he also suspected that this was caused by Kakashi.

After all, he couldn't think of another person in Konoha who could cause such harm.

"Are you doubting my brother?"

At this moment, a cold questioning voice suddenly sounded.

A hand was placed on the ninja of the Uchiha clan who had spoken just now.

In an instant, a terrifying pressure fell directly on that person, causing him to break out in cold sweat and his clothes were immediately soaked.

The visitor was none other than Hatake Satoru. He did not expect that as soon as he arrived here, he would see someone questioning his brother.

With a slight exertion on his hand, he squeezed the bones of the opponent's shoulder so much that they made a crunching sound.

"Hatake Jounin, please calm down, we are just suspicious now."

Seeing the appearance of Hatake Satoru, Fugaku immediately realized that something was wrong and spoke hurriedly.

Other ninjas might not attack them directly in front of so many people, but he knew that Hatake Satoru didn't care about the looks of these people.

"Suspect?"

Satoru said these two words in a rhetorical tone.

Satoru teleported directly to the corpse of the Uchiha clan member and directly picked up the corpse.

"How could such a rough wound be caused by Kakashi? Don't say Kakashi is not the murderer, even if Kakashi is the murderer, so what, do you want to do something to him?"

After saying that, he threw the body out directly.

Seeing the bodies of their own clan being played with in the hands of the other party, all the Uchiha clan members present became angry.

"Hatake Satoru, you are going too far."

An Uchiha man pointed directly at Hatake Satoru and said.

"What? Do you want to do something to me?"

A terrifying chakra instantly pressed on everyone, and the surrounding air seemed to be much heavier. Except for the Fourth Hokage, Uchiha Fugaku and Hatake Kakashi, everyone present felt as if It's like being in hell.

"Sorry, we were wrong about this matter. I will give you a satisfactory explanation."

Fugaku directly gave in and said that if they really took action, they would most likely be annihilated. Although such a decision would make him, the leader of the clan, look cowardly, he could only do this for the lives of his clan members.
