This chapter is an additional update for [600 Monthly Ticket]!
——
Konoha Village is very lively now. Something like this happened just now, and people can't even wait for dawn.
Under the Hokage Rock.
Outside the Hokage's office.
Groups of Konoha ninja gathered outside.
Standing at the front are the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan of Konoha Village.
These two prominent families in Konoha, who usually claimed to be the strongest clan, were on the same side at this moment.
The faces of the two families had varying degrees of anger.
The person standing behind them.
Some were ninjas from other families, and some were onlookers.
All of a sudden.
There was an uproar.
"The Third Hokage is here!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, and instantly everyone's attention was focused on the rooftop above the Hokage's office.
Under the gaze of everyone.
The third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen came out wearing a Hokage robe.
Now this time.
The face under the Third Hokage's hat looked very ugly. He had been held here.
Can't go up, can't come down.
It is extremely uncomfortable to be neither up nor down.
No one knows better than him how serious the threat from Yunyin Village is.
After yesterday's discussion with Uehara Ruri, the leader of Yunyin Village's envoy group, he was extremely close to reaching a war-free contract.
certainly.
The prerequisite is that Konoha Village will pay a large amount of compensation for the losses of Yunyin Village!
But in the eyes of the third generation.
As long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.
It doesn't matter if he lowers his head.
It doesn't matter if he is a coward.
As long as the grievance is something he can bear, it doesn't matter.
The important thing is that this can bring peace to the village!
But……
The third generation has a headache!
He had just learned about the loss of the Hyuga clan and the death of the Uchiha clan in the Uchiha world.
As Hokage.
He was very aware of the status of the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan in Konoha Village.
Something like this happened.
If there is no explanation.
It will definitely not pass easily!
"Cough cough cough..."
The third generation cleared his throat. He stood on the rooftop outside the Hokage's office, overlooking the crowd below.
It's midnight now.
Even though there was some light in the crowd, it was obviously not enough for the three generations standing on the rooftop.
The crowd was dark and dense.
It was impossible to see clearly the faces of everyone present.
But he knew very well in his heart that the emotions of the people gathered here could no longer be calmed by words.
Damn Uehara Ruri!
Sandai cursed in his heart. Now he can almost predict that what happened tonight will become an important point in the history of the ninja world.
Death to the Uchiha world!
It will change the original historical trajectory of the ninja world!
As the third generation coughed, the voices of everyone at the scene gradually became quiet, but it was still not as silent as in the past, and one could still hear continuous discussions everywhere.
Just the attention of the vast majority of people.
It has been concentrated on the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen!
"Don't worry, everyone!"
The low magnetic voice of the third generation slowly sounded. His voice was not loud, but it seemed to be magical, spreading far and clear in everyone's ears.
"Tonight's events will never go away like this!"
"Everyone go back and rest first!"
"Believe me!"
"I will definitely handle this matter properly!"
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to temporarily calm everyone's emotions through these words. Now even if he is the Hokage, he does not dare to let this turmoil continue.
In the dark crowd below.
More than half of the people are from the Hyuga and Uchiha clans.
Even though you can't see their expressions.
But you can clearly feel the emotions of these people.
If this kind of thing is not handled well.
Not to mention the problem with Yunyin Village, whether he can keep his position as Hokage is another matter.
The third generation has been in office for many years.
He understands a simple and simple truth.
Don’t seek merit but seek no fault.
As long as he doesn't make mistakes and doesn't give others reasons, generally speaking, everyone wants stability and won't have too much doubt about his position as Hokage.
In this way, he can steadily accumulate strength and slowly support the Sarutobi clan.
But now is the most critical moment!
The third generation still smelled the aura that was shaking his position as Hokage.
The people in the village were in a state of confusion. Major incidents had occurred recently, including an Uchiha clan member being beaten to death in full view of the public.
Outside, there are Cloud Hidden Village, Iwa Hidden Village, and Sand Hidden Village watching with eager eyes, and war may break out at any time.
The current situation can be said to be filled with both internal and external troubles!
As long as these things appear alone, they may have very dismal effects, let alone these things are likely to appear together.
"no!"
"Absolutely not!"
"We're not leaving!"
"This matter must be explained to us immediately!"
"Why do we let those people in Yunyin Village sleep peacefully when all our clan members are dead!"
"The Third Hokage, our Hyuga clan's dojo has collapsed!"
"We will never give up on this matter!"
"..."
Just after Sandai finished speaking, an even stronger voice of protest rebounded from the dark crowd below.
Now is the time for public outrage!
Whether it is the Uchiha clan or the Hyuga clan, they have long understood over the years that the third generation is inactive.
If you go back now.
The mood is bound to wane tomorrow.
Things will be different by then!
We must work hard!
Everyone at the scene had not communicated these matters secretly, but at this moment they reached an unprecedented consensus.
the reason is simple.
Over the years, almost everyone has understood Sandai's character.
"Everyone, be quiet first and don't be anxious. This matter will definitely not be forgotten like this. I will definitely explain it to everyone!"
The third generation raised his hands. There were beads of sweat on his forehead. He was thinking quickly in his head, but faced with such a situation, he didn't know how to solve it.
Tap tap tap tap...
Just at this time.
Thin footsteps sounded behind Sandai.
The three old men walked up from the entrance to the rooftop and walked towards the third generation.
The person walking at the front was Danzo Shimura, who was wearing a jet black robe.
Behind him were two Konoha consultants, Koharu and Mito Monobu.
Sandai turned his head and looked over, and immediately saw the arrival of these three people.
My messy heart calmed down a little.
"Hiruzen, at this time, a decision must be made, otherwise delaying it will only displease both sides." Danzo walked behind the third generation and whispered.
"That's right!"
The two advisors, Koharu and Mito Monobu, nodded at the same time, agreeing with Danzo's statement.
"How to decide?"
Sandai's face was extremely gloomy. He tried his best to maintain calm on the surface, but there was already a storm in his heart. This can be said to be the most severe scene he has faced since taking office.
Except when Danzo and the other second-generation disciples supported him when he first took office and sat in the position of Hokage against all opinions, it has always been a matter of minor conflicts and problems.
Now this kind of thing.
He needs some time.
Go back and think about it.
Don't dare to make any decision easily.
otherwise.
Nothing goes wrong at all.
This will cause an irreversible situation.
"Either immediately surround the Kumoyin Village mission and capture Uehara Ruri, in order to appease the emotions of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, and prepare for a full-scale war with Kumoyin Village in the Kingdom of Thunder!"
Danzo's voice was so low that only the Third Generation and the surrounding advisors could hear it. There was an extremely decisive killing sound in his voice.
"Either..."
Danzo took a deep look at the third generation and did not say the next words.
Danzo sometimes hesitates when faced with making his own choices, but if he stands behind the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, he will see the problem very clearly and thoroughly, and can help the third generation make the final decision. Accurate decision-making and analysis.
It can be said that...
He is the man behind successful men!
"Either what?"
The third generation took a deep breath, he stared at Danzo and asked, the first option just now was too desperate for him.
Once you decide that.
Konoha Village will enter a state of war again, and the people will be devastated by the war.
and.
Regardless of victory or defeat.
Whenever the losses reach an extent that is difficult to explain.
"Either we can directly kill the Uchiha clan with thunderous means to serve as a warning to others, completely frighten the troubled Hyuga clan, quickly solve the village's internal problems, make the village a monolith, and then face the Kumoyin Village envoys!" Danzo said coldly! Said coldly.
"no!"
Sandai shook his head without hesitation and said: "This is absolutely not acceptable!"
"The Uchiha clan has been causing trouble for a long time. If they are not completely eradicated, there will be problems one day, and they will attack Konoha Village!" Danzo argued.
"Don't say anything like this again!"
The third generation waved his hand, looked at Koharu who was sleeping, and then looked at Mito Kadoyan.
"Isn't there a third option?"
Sandai asked slowly. Although he directly rejected Danzo's words and spoke very simply, deep down he had already considered these two options.
There is no option that is off limits!
Just choose the one with the least loss.
The lesser of two evils!
That's all.
"there is none left."
The two advisors shook their heads at the same time. Their meaning was the same as Danzo's, and they had to make a decision at this time.
"I see."
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, his eyes instantly becoming determined.
He is indeed indecisive when he is in a panic, but he is extremely brave when making decisions. This is a very contradictory character in itself, but it is also the reason why the Second Hokage chose him.
Suddenly.
The third generation turned around again and stood on the edge of the rooftop of the Hokage's office, looking towards the dark crowd below.
"Now I will immediately send someone to capture Uehara Ruri!"
