“I, I saw that, right ?”
Darui rubbed his eyes and stared at Uchiha Dan in the distance with a look of disbelief.
The Uchiha clan broke with Konoha, and a civil war raged until the whole clan ran away from the village. Uchiha and Konoha have become life-and-death enemies, and it is known to everyone in the Ninja world.
In this situation.
As the leader of Uchiha, Dan returned to Konoha alone. What did he plan to do?
Negotiate with Konoha on behalf of Uchiha and seek reconciliation?
Not too possible.
Or is it that the war between Uchiha and Konoha is not over yet. Is Dan coming back this time to continue to take revenge on Konoha?
At this time.
Cee and Darui both held their breath and watched nervously, their minds spinning rapidly, trying to guess Dan’s intention of returning to Konoha.
Suddenly.
Dan stopped and seemed to be aware of the gazes of the two people. He tilted his head and looked this way.
In his eyes, there was a scarlet Taichi Yin-Yang fish pattern, and a pair of eyes emitted a strange light.
Mangekyō Sharingan.
Cee and Darui’s expressions suddenly changed, and they subconsciously avoided Dan’s gaze and did not dare to look at him.
But it turned out that they were overly nervous.
Because, Dan just smiled from a distance, waved hello to the two of them, then turned around and walked into the village.
“Well……”
Cee and Darui breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at each other, looking at each other.
Dan strode towards the south gate of Konoha Village.
He came back this time not to reconcile with Konoha, nor to fight with Konoha, he was just a spectator.
A bystander who witnessed the destruction of Konoha.
Then, why not sneak back to Konoha secretly?
Because being sneaky is not Dan’s style, and his transformation and disguise skills are a mess, and it is easy for Konoha ninjas to see through them.
In this case, it is better to come back in a big way.
The guards at the south gate are two Konoha chunin – Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane.
“U-Uchiha Dan?!”
They recognized Dan immediately, and couldn’t help but exclaimed, with expressions on their faces as if they had seen a ghost.
Facing Dan who was approaching step by step, the two of them were trembling, unable to move due to fear.
finally.
They could only stand there, watching helplessly as Dan passed between them and entered Konoha majestically.
Ichiraku Avenue.
Dan walked on the main road of Konoha and looked around.
Konoha seems to have gradually recovered from the civil unrest two days ago. The streets are full of busy villagers, who are carrying out reconstruction work in full swing.
but.
When they saw Dan, all the Konoha ninjas and villagers widened their eyes and froze on the spot.
“Run quickly!”
We don’t know who came back to his senses and shouted.
The next second, everyone was running away in panic, and the street suddenly became full of screams and chaos.
Uchiha Dan is back!
This nightmarish news spread quickly throughout the entire Konoha Village.
“Am I that terrible?”
Dan looked at the chaotic crowd in front of him and shook his head.
Immediately, he walked towards the end of Ichiraku Avenue.
The Hokage Building.
This landmark building that has stood in Konoha for more than fifty years was severely damaged in the previous war. It was once crumbling and almost turned into ruins.
Fortunately, after two days of emergency repairs, the Hokage Building finally avoided the fate of collapse and returned to normal use.
At this moment.
Inside the building, the huge conference room was crowded with people.
More than a hundred people from Konoha’s top management, clan leaders, and all jounin gathered together to hold a major meeting.
The Sandaime was undeniably responsible for this civil strife, and almost everyone below him could not bear it.
The Sandaime is a smart man.
Before he was kicked out, he took the initiative to announce his abdication and no longer served as the mayor of Konoha Village, thus retaining some dignity for himself.
However, before stepping down as Hokage, the Sandaime did one last thing.
That is to deal with the assets of the Uchiha clan.
When Uchiha fled Konoha in a hurry, although they took away a lot of things and belongings, they could not take away a large amount of land and assets.
The Sandaime planned to distribute these things to the major families in Konoha as compensation to appease people’s hearts.
Perhaps it’s because of this reason.
Although they had just experienced a civil strife with heavy casualties, the atmosphere in the conference room was not as heavy as expected, but rather relaxed and happy.
“After so many years, the Uchiha guys, who are hated by everyone, finally got out of Konoha. It’s really satisfying.”
“Although I paid a heavy price this time, it was completely worth it! Konoha will become better without Uchiha.”
“Uchiha has a lot of property in the village. I don’t know how much we can get.”
“…”
The clan leaders and jonin were either talking loudly or whispering.
“Ahem.”
The Sandaime coughed twice and cleared his throat, attracting everyone’s attention and quieting the conference room.
In the eyes of everyone’s expectations, he was about to preside over this carve-up meeting.
Whoosh.
An Anbu suddenly appeared in the conference room, sweating profusely and reported to the Sandaime:
“Lord Hokage, Uchiha Dan has returned to the village and is heading towards the Hokage Building!”
What? !
Upon hearing the news, everyone in the conference room seemed to have been hit by a bolt from the blue. Their expressions changed drastically and they stood up from their seats.
At this time.
There was a clang.
The door to the conference room was pushed open, and under the gaze of hundreds of horrified eyes, Uchiha Dan strode in.
“Hey, everyone is having a meeting here.”
Dan looked around, said hello to everyone, and asked casually, “What were you talking about just now? I seem to hear someone saying that they want to divide the assets left by the Uchiha clan?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone shed a cold sweat, not knowing whether it was due to guilt or fear.
“I don’t care about the rest, but the Muscle Modification Department is my hard work. Whoever dares to step into the gym, I will kill his entire family.”
With a calm look on his face, Dan said a heart-breaking warning, then walked across the entire conference room, walked to the side of the Sandaime, and pulled out a chair.
Dan sat down.
His words and deeds stunned everyone.
“Protect Hokage-sama!”
A group of Anbu reacted first, drew out their ninja swords, and surrounded Dan in group.
“What does this mean?” Dan frowned and asked with an unhappy expression.
What’s the meaning?
Shouldn’t we be asking you this question?
Everyone in the conference room was complaining crazily in their hearts, but no one dared to say it in front of Dan’s face.
The Sandaime looked surprised, his eyes flickered for a long time, and finally he said:
“Dan, I thought… you wouldn’t come back.”
Dan heard the words and said in confusion:
“I am the Hokage’s assistant. How can I bear to leave the village when Konoha is in great trouble?”
These words made the Sandaime open his mouth wide, and for a moment he didn’t know how to respond.
In the crowd, a voice suddenly came out, shouting at Dan with righteous indignation:
“The Uchiha clan has committed a serious crime of treason. You bear the unshirkable responsibility, but you still have the nerve to say that you are the Hokage’s assistant?”
oh?
Dan turned his head and looked around, only to see everyone’s eyes dodge, and he didn’t know who was shouting.
Faced with the questioning, he did not panic and asked the crowd:
“What does it have to do with me if Uchiha breaks up with Konoha?
Let me ask you, when the war broke out between the Uchiha clan and Anbu, did I end up participating in the battle, and did I kill even one Konoha ninja? “
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned.
Dan continued:
“As the Hokage’s assistant, I not only deflected the Kyuubi’s Bijuudama and knocked it to the ground on the spot, but also beat away Konoha’s enemy Uchiha Obito. Aren’t these my achievements?”
“Well……”
Everyone was stunned. If they thought about it carefully, it was true.
However, many people quickly came to their senses and asked Dan again:
“Stop pretending, Uchiha Dan. Who doesn’t know that you are the real leader of the Uchiha clan. How come it is none of your business when Uchiha launches a coup?”
Dan shook his head and sighed.
They saw him slowly stand up and said with a heartbroken look:
“The Uchiha clan has long fallen into narrow nationalism. It is really hateful to put the interests of the family before the interests of the village.
These guys are so desperate to fight Konoha just because of Uchiha Shisui!
The great will of fire tells us:
If the village wants a person to die, then he should die.
The village asked Shisui to donate his Mangekyo. Shouldn’t he be ecstatic and offer his eyes? You know, this is his honor, this is his opportunity to dedicate himself to Konoha.
How many people want to fight for such an opportunity, but they can’t.
The consciousness of the Uchiha clan is too low.
And I, Uchiha Dan, am a person who has transcended narrow nationalism.
As the Hokage’s assistant, I always believe in the will of fire and always think about the village. Anyone who confuses me with the Uchiha people is insulting me.
For the sake of Konoha, I will continue to perform my duties as the Hokage’s assistant, swear to dedicate myself to Konoha to the end, and shed every last drop of blood in my body. “
No one expected it.
With such a “just cut”, he wanted to draw a clear line between himself and the Uchiha clan. What he said was true.
People were stunned when they heard it.
Everyone knew that he was talking nonsense, but there was nothing they could do against him.
No one dared to speak, asking Dan to dedicate his Sharingan, or even his life, to Konoha as he said.
Whoever really dares to say this will definitely be “consecrated” by him first.
In the final analysis.
Or because of strength.
The reason why Uchiha Dan dared to return to Konoha alone and walked into this conference room with such arrogance showed that he was confident.
What he relies on is an unfathomable power.
So far.
Uchiha Dan has never been defeated, no matter who the enemy he faces, whether he faces one enemy or a group of enemies.
His terrifying muscles and the pair of scarlet and strange Mangekyo exuded powerful oppression at all times, making everyone present feel fear.
Although they doesn’t want to admit it, this man is an undefeated myth.
Even if everyone here swarms, can they kill Dan?
Even if we can really kill Dan, how many lives will Konoha have to pay as a price? Who is willing to be the first to rush forward and die?
At last.
Everyone looked at the Sandaime in unison.
After all, he is still the Hokage. At least in name, he is the only one who can suppress Dan, the “Hokage’s assistant”.
The third generation looked troubled and had a headache.
He considered it carefully and then said decisively:
“Dan, it may be a bit inappropriate for you to continue to serve as Hokage’s assistant…”
“Yeah?”
Dan interrupted the Sandaime’s words, raised his eyebrows, and asked, “Do you mean to let me go one step further and become the Fifth Hokage?”
Obviously, Dan misinterpreted the Sandaime’s words. His opening immediately shocked everyone in the conference room.
but.
Dan immediately smiled again and said:
“No, I don’t have the ambition to be Hokage, and I know that I am not capable enough, so I just want to assist Hokage conscientiously. By the way, who will be the fifth generation of Hokage? It’s really exciting.”
At this time.
Koharu and Homura, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly took over the words and said coldly:
“We have already nominated Jiraiya to the Fire Nation’s Daimyo Mansion to serve as the Fifth Hokage. I believe the Daimyo will make a formal appointment soon.”
This is a warning not to have any wishful thinking about the position of Hokage.
The Sandaime also immediately echoed in a deep voice: “Like the two consultants Koharu and Homura, I also nominated Jiraiya and think he is the most suitable candidate.”
Jiraiya was not present because he was injured in the battle with Kyuubi and was recuperating in Konoha Hospital.
However, due to Dan’s sudden appearance, the Sandaime had secretly ordered his subordinates to notify Jiraiya.
If there is anyone who can compete with Uchiha Dan, it seems that only Jiraiya is left.
Hearing that Jiraiya will become the new Hokage.
No one in the conference room was surprised, they had obviously guessed it.
“Um.”
Even Duan nodded, seeming to agree that Jiraiya was a good candidate, but he still asked, “By the way, I also have the right to nominate the fifth Hokage, right?”
“Of course, but you can’t nominate yourself.” Koharu looked at Dan and said with a straight face.
“Okay, I want to nominate… Danzo.”
Dan’s eyes flashed and his words were shocking.
Danzo?
What a joke!
When everyone heard Danzo’s name from Dan’s mouth, the expressions on everyone’s faces couldn’t help but become very wonderful.
He ignored everyone’s expressions and stated his reasons for nominating Danzo seriously:
“Danzo is the former Hokage’s assistant and has dedicated his life to Konoha for decades. Apart from the Sandaime, he is the person who has made the greatest contribution to Konoha.
Over the years.
The person whom the Sandaime trusted and valued the most was Danzo, so he released the latter from the Anbu prison and allowed Danzo to seize Shisui’s Mangekyō Sharingan, and even handed the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki to Danzo.
Although Danzo accidentally caused the Nine-Tails Rebellion and killed so many Konoha ninjas, no one can deny that his intentions were good and he was dedicated to Konoha.
Isn’t this kind of person worthy of a Hokage nomination?
Mr. Hokage, what do you think? “
As Dan spoke, he looked at the Sandaime.
Everyone could tell that his words seemed to be about nominating Danzo, but in fact he was pointing at the Sandaime and scolding him.
The third generation’s face darkened.
He could feel that after Dan’s strange anger, everyone in Konoha in the conference room became more resentful towards him as the Hokage.
