Chapter 17 I only killed one rogue ninja!
However, Uchiha Shisui was also somewhat at a loss.
He did indeed intend to use force to forcibly take Qianyu away.
However, this is on the premise of not clashing with the entire Uchiha clan.
Now that Chief Fugaku has intervened, it would be completely contrary to his original intention to take action himself.
Moreover, the Hokage's mission for him was to suppress the Uchiha clan's ever-increasing fighting spirit!
If I were to actually take action, it would only exacerbate the situation.
then……
Uchiha Shisui said in a deep voice, "Clan Chief, this matter is far too complicated. Although Clan Chief Hiyu was removed from his position by the Hokage, he has remained the leader of the Sarutobi clan for many years..."
"We hope that the clan leader can consider the bigger picture and truly hand over Chiba to the Hokage for disposal."
Fugaku calmly replied, "That's exactly what I meant."
Uchiha Shisui had no choice but to compromise.
"Alright, that's enough for today. Let the Hokage handle things personally from now on."
Since Uchiha Shisui said so, Sarutobi Shinnosuke couldn't act rashly.
Seeing that Sarutobi Hiro had died in vain, the Sarutobi clan could not bear it any longer.
"Was our clan chief just going to die in vain?!"
"Today we must avenge our clan chief!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke, on the contrary, has to stop them.
"Fellow clansmen, Chief Rixiong was my uncle. How could I not be heartbroken by his sudden death here today?"
"However, please believe that the Hokage will surely bring you justice!"
"Don't act rashly and impulsively, lest you cause unbearable consequences!"
A Sarutobi clan ninja shouted, "So the Anbu are siding with the Uchiha too?!"
"On our way here, your secret service sent men to stop us."
"Now that Chief Rixiong is dead, you're stopping us from taking revenge?!"
Hearing these words, even Sarutobi Shinnosuke almost couldn't handle it.
His men were killed by these fanatical tribesmen!
I'm already being kind by not confronting them!
And now they're even using this to blame me?
Do you really think you and the Anbu are pushovers?!
"Hmph, the Anbu stopping you is on the Hokage's orders!"
"You dared to kill my subordinates in the secret service to disobey orders; I will investigate this matter thoroughly as well!"
"If you still want to cause trouble today..."
"The Anbu can play along with you too!"
Shinnosuke Sarutobi unleashed a burst of dark, chilling chakra, instantly calming the Sarutobi clan members down...
With Hiroo Sarutobi dead, they have no chance of winning even if they actually take action.
After much deliberation, I can only give up for now.
The clansmen collected Sarutobi Hiyo's body, glared hatefully at Chiba, and gave Sarutobi Shinnosuke a meaningful look before finally turning and leaving.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke also breathed a sigh of relief.
"In that case, I await Chief Fugaku's impartial handling of the matter."
"Let's go."
The secret service also departed.
……
Only members of the Uchiha clan remained at the scene.
Fugaku finally breathed a deep sigh of relief.
The outcome we almost caused today was a complete war with the Sarutobi clan and even the entire Konoha leadership!
If that's really the case, the fate of the Uchiha clan is unimaginable...
He gave Uchiha Shisui a meaningful look.
Zhi Shui's demeanor just now made even the clan leader suspicious.
Fugaku was aware that Uchiha Shisui and Sarutobi Hiruzen were very close.
However, he couldn't confirm exactly how close they were.
It should be noted that the vast majority of people in the clan, even the fanatical rebels, regarded Uchiha Shisui as a key fighting force. Without him, the rebellion would have almost no chance of success.
But what if this top fighter, a key combatant, becomes Hiruzen Sarutobi's lackey...?
What does the future hold for the Uchiha clan?!
He couldn't help but look in another direction.
On Qianyu's body...
……
Uchiha Shisui also gazed intently at Chiba.
Chiyu, however, did not seem to care and sheathed her katana.
Uchiha Aoki, Uchiha Yamakaze, and the ninjas from the Kazuha clan and the police force who followed and admired him all stepped forward and surrounded him in the center.
Seeing this, Uchiha Shisui's worries only intensified...
He walked toward Uchiha Fugaku.
"Clan leader, in order to quell the trouble, it would be best to take Chiyu to see the Hokage as soon as possible."
Fugaku asked casually.
"Shisui, if a war had really broken out, what would you have done?"
"I……"
Uchiha Shisui hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, it won't happen."
"I will not allow the Uchiha clan to go to war with Konoha."
Fugaku Uchiha frowned.
He did not provide an answer.
Fugaku did not ask any further questions.
"Chiba, come with me to find the Hokage."
Qianyu didn't refuse and nodded.
……
In the Hokage's office, after listening to Sarutobi Shinnosuke's report, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was extremely grim.
He slammed his hand on the table, trembling with anger.
"That idiot Rixiong!"
"They're utterly hopeless! They actually did something so stupid, even killing three members of the Dark Guard!"
"They absolutely deserved to die!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke said in a deep voice, "Father, no, Hokage-sama..."
"That being said, we can't let them, father and son, die in vain at the hands of the Uchiha!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi closed his eyes, then opened them again.
"Of course!"
"Lord Hokage, Fugaku Uchiha and Chiba Uchiha have arrived."
"Let them in."
"Yes."
Fugaku pushed open the door first and entered: "Hokage-sama, I've brought Chiba."
Qianyu followed behind, her expression remaining calm and composed.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at him, his expression extremely solemn.
"Chief Fugaku, you said you would discipline Chiba strictly when he was in the police force, but now he has killed Sarutobi Jiro and Sarutobi Hio. Even if the father and son are truly guilty of heinous crimes, does that mean he can kill people in the village without trial?"
"Now that things have come to this, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Just as Fugaku Uchiha was about to speak, Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand.
"I don't want to hear any more of that nonsense."
Fugaku frowned.
Qianyu spoke up, "Lord Hokage, where did I go wrong?"
"you……"
Chiyu interrupted him: "If the Uchiha clan led a group of people to trespass into the Sarutobi clan's territory in broad daylight and threatened to start a war, what would the Sarutobi clan do?"
"Will they simply stand by and be slaughtered without resistance?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice, "I absolutely do not want any ninja or clan in the village to kill each other. This is my duty as the Hokage."
"That's right, that's what I thought too, which is why I killed Sarutobi Hio to prevent the Uchiha clan and the Sarutobi clan from killing each other."
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "..."
"You're just being unreasonable."
"Absolutely not. If I don't capture the leader first and kill Sarutobi Hio, he will only cause a greater tragedy since he has gone completely mad. When the two clans go to war, regardless of the outcome, Konoha will definitely lose in the end."
He glanced at Sarutobi Shinnosuke: "Sarutobi Hio killed three Anbu members, didn't he?"
Shinnosuke Sarutobi remained silent.
"Are we only going to let him kill the Uchiha clan members before we can truly retaliate?"
"Lord Hokage, this is not true."
"Sarutobi Hio is already a sinner of Konoha Village, and he has gone mad. His killing of the Anbu is tantamount to treason in any village, and any village would want to get rid of him as soon as possible."
"The person I killed was not the head of the Sarutobi clan, but just a madman and a rogue ninja."
"As for killing the rogue ninja, I will never admit that I did anything wrong."
Hiruzen Sarutobi and his son Shinnosuke Sarutobi couldn't help but frown.
Although his argument was far-fetched, it was not entirely without merit.
Hiruzen Sarutobi personally removed Hiruzen Sarutobi from his position as clan leader.
He did indeed kill those three ANBU ninjas with his own hands.
Furthermore, his act of leading a large force to trespass into the Uchiha's territory, only to be killed by Chiba, is truly beyond words...
the most important is……
Hiro Sarutobi made a rash move, leading a team of dozens of Sarutobi clan ninjas to attack the Uchiha stronghold, which was witnessed by almost all the clan ninjas in the village...
There's no way to hide it!
"That damn idiot!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but curse fiercely in his heart once again!
