As a member of the Hokage, one dares not be a loyal subject of Konoha!

Suddenly, the office door was violently flung open.

The discordant voices shattered the old village chief's dream, and the false image, clearly created by being intoxicated by smoking, vanished.

His ambitions were interrupted, and the old village chief turned his head with a sullen face and saw that familiar face.

"Hiruzen! Something's happened!"

Danzo looked extremely anxious, as if his backside was on fire.

"Fork out!"

But Sarutobi didn't wait for him to finish speaking; he simply waved towards the door.

"What do you mean?"

Danzo was taken aback.

"Knock on the door, then come in again."

This time, the old village chief had no intention of giving Danzo any face. He planned to give Danzo a warning and make him understand that he had regained his position as the noble Third Hokage, and that it was no longer the time for Danzo to come to his house and kick the door!

"Sarutobi, you son of a bitch!"

Danzo's face flushed red, clearly dissatisfied with Sarutobi's arrogant manner. He was about to retort to the old village chief when he met the old village chief's dignified gaze.

Row!

You'll regret this!

Danzo left the office through gritted teeth, then knocked on the door and went back in.

Fuck you!

He had received news from Root that the Uchiha were making a big move and came over to warn them, but he never expected that just because he was in a bit of a hurry to enter, he would be kicked out by Sarutobi in his Hokage identity.

They even knocked on the door and came back in.

Have I been giving you too much face?

It would be best if the Uchiha clan just rebelled and killed Sarutobi!

Danzo was a prominent figure, a true high-ranking official in Konoha, and a man who almost became Hokage. Why should he put up with this?

The angrier Danzo became, the faster he walked. He planned to sneak over and watch the show, and then come out to boost his prestige when Sarutobi lost control of the situation!

When you're rushing, you're more likely to make mistakes.

Without braking at the corner, a collision naturally occurred.

When Danzo frowned, leaning against the wall to steady himself, and looked at the person in front of him, he was immediately filled with anger.

But before he could speak, the person in front of him launched an attack.

"Danzo, are you blind?"

Sarutobi Asuma naturally gave Danzo the middle finger.

He learned this trick from the "True Man's Guide" given to him by his older brother, Richeng. Combined with his childhood personality of being able to argue with his father, he already regarded this book as a classic.

The technical term for this tactic is "the one who shows off wins when two people meet on a narrow road." It means that when only one person is allowed to pass, you must first show off to intimidate the other person, and then you will win.

Asuma wholeheartedly agreed with this and had been practicing it ever since.

In order to ensure that he wouldn't get beaten up after showing off, he worked hard to build muscle.

But he clearly underestimated Danzo's level of anger at that moment.

As the giant slapped him across the face, he could faintly hear Danzo's roar.

"I'll fuck you! If your mother hadn't died, I would have turned those words into a verb!"

Don't be fooled by Danzo's appearance.

Even without considering his advanced age, the destructive power of his large penis should not be underestimated.

So when Asuma appeared in the Hokage's office, his head buzzing, his face was filled with confusion and bewilderment, besides the bright red handprint.

Sarutobi was also somewhat bewildered when he saw his son. After observing the thickness of the swelling on Asuma's face, Sarutobi's expression darkened.

"Who hit me?"

Is this a slap in the face to Asuma?

This is a slap in the face to Hiruzen Sarutobi!

I have only just returned to my position. Who dares to disrespect me like this?

"Uncle Shimura beat me."

Sarutobi Asuma spoke honestly, not even daring to call Danzo by his full name. He was clearly taken aback by the slap, or perhaps he hadn't quite recovered yet.

After all, given Asuma's temperament, he would have retaliated sooner or later; he was simply intimidated by Kabuto's presence.

"Danzo?"

Sarutobi frowned, thinking to himself that Danzo was becoming more and more outrageous.

He was waiting for Danzo to knock on the door, but unexpectedly, his old friend slapped his son instead.

But the old village chief also felt a little strange.

He usually gave Danzo a dressing down, and even if Danzo got angry, he wouldn't go this far.

What happened this time?

Based on his understanding of Danzo, at most his old friend would reply that he would regret it, perhaps in a slightly louder tone.

Moreover, the old village chief didn't want to break ties with Danzo, since he still had many things he needed Danzo to do, and giving him a warning was just a habitual action.

"Okay, I get it."

Unsure of Danzo's intentions, Sarutobi waved to Asuma, somewhat annoyed, signaling him to leave.

However, Asuma stood there with a furrowed brow, looking deep in thought.

"Is there anything else? Oh, right, you came to see me with something to report? Is it just because you got beaten up?"

This is something that can be discussed at home; there's no need to come all the way to the office, so Sarutobi found it a bit strange.

"I remembered!"

Asma suddenly snapped to attention, rushed to his father, and grabbed his shoulders.

"Father! I've come to deliver a message!"

"The Uchiha have rebelled!"

Chapter 26 Shocked.

Konoha.

A temporary Hokage building.

Finally, after Shinku Yuhi arrived in a flash, Hiruzen Sarutobi recovered from his shock and confusion.

They also learned that the so-called rebellion was nothing more than the Uchiha finding an opportunity to openly capture the ANBU ninjas.

It wasn't that Fugaku Uchiha had lost his mind and was planning to lead the Uchiha clan members and high-ranking officials in a bloody battle.

Fortunately.

It's not a rebellion.

The old village chief finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The hidden dangers posed by the Uchiha clan do indeed need to be eradicated.

But definitely not now!

The border situation is tense, and it's anyone's guess when war could break out. Even with Sarutobi's limited vision, he knows that now is definitely not the time to turn hostile and overturn the table.

Despite the suppression, it's reasonable for him to use the three tomoe in the Nine-Tails' pupils during the turmoil to monitor the Uchiha clan. He has reason to suspect that the Uchiha clan is connected to the Nine-Tails' chaos.

It's understandable that the Uchiha clan suffered some losses, relinquished some benefits, and was driven out of the center of power.

He thought that Fugaku Uchiha understood this principle, but now it seems that the kid didn't, and even dared to take the initiative to attack!

After all, Fugaku's previous impression on others was basically that of a green-haired turtle village chief with very little control over his clan and little prestige. He would definitely tolerate it if he could.

This surveillance of the Uchiha clan was also a test by the old village chief.

If Fugaku doesn't react, he will then consider how to completely eliminate the threat from the Uchiha clan and devise a long-term plan.

But now, Fugaku Uchiha's behavior is so different from before that Hiruzen Sarutobi is not sure what to do.

"Dad, let's run."

Asuma did not let his guard down because of Kurenai Yuhi's report.

He looked at his father seriously and gave a detailed analysis.

"Father, I think this is a smokescreen put out by the Uchiha clan. Maybe they're just waiting for you to walk right into their trap."

"Looking back at the history of our Sarutobi clan's battles against the Uchiha during the Warring States period, I never believed that we could defeat them if they really rebelled!"

Asuma spoke very meticulously, even providing specific data for comparison. He had to tell his father that his clansmen were utterly useless and could not compete with the Uchiha!

"Dad, you have to understand, during the Warring States period, we were completely thrashed by the Uchiha! We were no match for them at all!"

"If the Warring States period was like this, what about now? The Sarutobi clan has become utterly useless under your leadership. Besides, the only reason you were able to become Hokage again is because our village is almost empty. It's not because you're truly capable. Moreover, the 'Manual of Real Men' says that one should know one's place."

Snapped!

Originally, Sarutobi didn't want to lose face in front of outsiders because Shiro Yuhi was there, but he finally couldn't hold back and shoved a big punch into Asuma's other intact face.

"Take him home to me, don't let him embarrass himself in public!"

Sarutobi waved his hand, instructing a passing subordinate to escort Asuma home, and strode off with a sullen face.

He has no time to educate his son now, and the old village chief knows that even if this good-for-nothing builds muscles, he still can't be a real man. Reading any guides is a complete waste of time.

Sarutobi glanced at Kurenai Yuhi, who was AFK next to him and seemed oblivious to everything, and gave up on asking him to call for backup.

Since it wasn't a rebellion, he didn't need to create too much tension.
