Fortunately, this wasn't the final match where famous and powerful figures gathered; otherwise, this farce would have been quite ugly.
[Those guys from Sunagakure are really a bunch of uncultured, uncivilized bastards from the wasteland!]
"Also, isn't it normal for the Hokage to have ANBU members by his side at all times?"
As if the rebuke he blurted out wasn't enough to vent his anger, Sarutobi Shinga raised his voice again and asked in return.
"But you, and your clan, have shown a danger that cannot be described simply by deploying a few secret service teams."
"It wouldn't be too much to accept surveillance from the entire village!!"
Moreover, when he turned his attention back to the main target, his words became even more vehement.
These words only made Makina's smile, which was already widening at the corners of his mouth, even more pronounced.
【very good,】
Isn't that perfectly well said?
And he really couldn't believe that such divisive remarks came from that old fox's clan!
This is practically pushing the Uchiha clan outwards!
But just a second later, Maki figured out the two fundamental reasons that prompted this guy to say such things:
First, according to the intelligence gathered, several years ago, the Sarutobi clan and the Uchiha clan had a major conflict, and the resulting contradictions have not yet been resolved.
Secondly, that old fox was desperately suppressing and hiding Uchiha Ara's reputation, so that his true fame was not well-known in Konoha.
This is just like how the Uchiha clan was treated in the past.
Power is a gift from others, yet within one's own power, it becomes a synonym for arrogance and evil.
It's really fun.
No wonder, we haven't heard any decent discussions about Iwagakure or Uchiha Ara in Konoha along the way.
It seems that such information has been largely swept away from top to bottom!
Thinking of this, a sad sigh suddenly rose in Maki's eyes.
Indeed, it's true; a leaf can block out the view of the sky.
Who is truly arrogant here?
However, please make sure this hostility and this state of affairs continue!
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Just as the surrounding environment became unusually stiff because of Sarutobi Shingo's indignant and reckless words, a cold voice suddenly rang out.
However, the voice did not come from the Uchiha clan, but from Kakashi Hatake!
Such slander and such words are as if they were transporting him across the torrent of time to the scene where his father was driven to his death by the voices of the masses!
By accepting surveillance from the entire village, is this an attempt to completely push the Uchiha clan to the other side?
"Kakashi, I'm just stating the facts. You're the one who shouldn't let your personal emotions get involved!"
"The Uchiha clansman who gave you those eyes wasn't...."
"enough!"
But just as Sarutobi Shinga was arguing with righteous indignation, a deep rebuke suddenly interrupted him, cutting him off from what he was about to say.
Following the sound, one could see that the speaker was wearing a special hat with great symbolic significance, and the huge red character for "fire" was clearly visible. It was none other than the Third Hokage of this village, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He was really frustrated at the moment. The matter had clearly progressed to this point, and the die was cast!
However, the plans were completely ruined by the Jonin from Sunagakure!
Aside from that, Uchiha Ara's own self-control also terrified him.
Even when facing his younger brother, the enemy who destroyed half of his family, he was still able to remain passive and lure the other party to make the first move!
These originally insignificant details have now been magnified by those with ulterior motives and become the best tools for exonerating and defending them!
Of course, even though these details are worth discussing, there is still a chance to make a final decision:
It means letting the other side eliminate Sarutobi Asuma.
Once Uchiha Ara does this, then no matter how great the reason, it will not be enough to exonerate him!
But can he really stand by and watch his son become a victim of self-interest?
Obviously not.
"This is something I failed to understand clearly at the first moment."
"It's my fault."
He wanted to take another gamble, to gamble on the public's fervor, and to gamble on the accusations and rebukes from other powerful families.
However, apart from the scattered responses from commoner Jonin and Sarutobi Shinga's solo performance, there was no echo from any major clans.
The Yamanaka clan doesn't have it, the Akimichi clan doesn't have it, and the Nara clan doesn't have it!
Even the Hyuga clan, whose own genius was also severely injured in this conflict, remained completely silent, as if they were mute.
What ultimately changed his mind was Kakashi Hatake's rebuke.
This voice, brimming with clear discontent, shattered the last vestige of hope and resentment in his heart.
The bureau is gone.
The thought that arose in his mind made Hiruzen Sarutobi feel a little more defeated.
One should press on with one effort, but the momentum will wane afterward.
He failed to deliver a decisive blow when the crowd was at its most enraged, and when he attempted a surprise attack to capture the enemy, he was instead swiftly and decisively defeated.
Even Kakashi Hatake, who works under him, has expressed skepticism.
Hiruzen Sarutobi truly dared not delay any longer.
"But, Lord Hokage..."
Sarutobi Makoto, who had been stopped, clearly wanted to say something more.
He didn't understand why he should bow down to someone who posed such a great threat to the ninja village.
Especially when the secret service squad was being indiscriminately slaughtered by their own people.
Such behavior is utterly lawless and unforgivable!
"A mistake is a mistake, and there's nothing that can't be admitted."
But Hiruzen Sarutobi answered quite frankly.
"But what about Chief Huang? How will he deal with the fact that his own people are wantonly killing their own comrades?"
However, he quickly changed his tone and put pressure on Izumi, who had casually dealt with an entire ANBU squad.
If we can detain those close to them and use them as a trump card to make them hesitant to act against us, or if we can uncover the Uchiha clan's recent schemes, then we can consider today's objective half accomplished.
The four who died were members of the Dark Guard, and just as Maki said, they died in the right place.
"what?"
"The Third Hokage is truly blinded by his own involvement."
"Even outsiders can see this clearly, so why can't you see it?"
How could Huang possibly agree to such pressure and accusations?
"Or perhaps, the useless members of the Dark Division always prefer to strike at unrelated individuals who weren't involved first?"
"Still showing no mercy, directly resorting to ninja tools?"
"Izumi, you didn't use your own weapon to achieve a counterattack, did you?"
He pressed on with his questions.
This rhetorical question caused Hiruzen Sarutobi's already depressed mood to sink even further.
At the same time, it was also unable to answer directly.
The biggest problem in this operation was the lack of information regarding Uchiha Izumi's file.
After all, all she had been doing over the years were basic D-rank and E-rank missions that even newly graduated genin would look down on.
But now it seems that this girl's application of the Sharingan is in no way inferior to some of the battle-hardened Uchiha predecessors!
“The underground operations naturally have their own standards of conduct.”
"When encountering a criminal who uses ninjutsu to assist in the resistance, are we supposed to fight him bare-handed with our bare hands?"
Sarutobi Shinga chimed in at the opportune moment, his words filled with undisguised disgust.
The idea that the Uchiha clan was the embodiment of evil had long been ingrained in his mind.
In the past, the leader of this clan, Uchiha Madara, had the audacity to return to the village after leaving, bringing fear and disaster to Konoha.
Decades ago, the Nine-Tails, the calamity that suddenly descended upon Konoha City, had Sharingan eyes reflected in its enormous beastly pupils, which undoubtedly indicated an inseparable connection with this clan!
All this accumulated resentment and disgust reached its peak five years ago when the other party came to challenge them!
They are members of the current Hokage's clan!
Yet they were mercilessly trampled into the dust, a humiliation that the entire Sarutobi clan could never forgive!
"Oh?"
"You've given me a heads-up."
Listening to that hoarse voice, hoarse from indignation and repeated angry rebukes, Huang spoke slowly and unhurriedly about unrelated topics.
As he spoke, he bent down and reached out a finger to touch one of the ANBU ninjas lying in a pool of blood.
This action caused a complete change in the expression on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face!
One wrong step, and you'll be restricted everywhere.
He completely overlooked the immense power of those evil eyes.
With a soft rustling sound, two nearly spherical objects suddenly moved into Huang's palm.
These are the eyes of that elite member of the Dark Guard!
