Although Shuo Mao had basically made up his mind, he still chose to ask Shen Qiu, and as expected, Shen Qiu nodded.

"I killed him 々々."

Concise and concise.

"It's just opportunism, all thanks to this eye of mine." As he spoke, Shen Qiu pointed to his right eye.

It was only then that Sakumo Hatake noticed that Shen Qiu's right eye seemed somewhat different from others. It wasn't the tomoe shape that he often saw in the Uchiha clan, but rather a triangular windmill pattern.

"This is..."

Looking at Shen Qiu's right eye, Sakumo's eyes showed a look of doubt. Actually, it was not his fault, as nearly thirty years had passed since Uchiha Madara's death.

During these thirty years, no one from the Uchiha clan has produced another Mangekyou Sharingan. In fact, this was due to the combined efforts of Tobirama Senju and Hiruzen Sarutobi to suppress it.

By preventing members of the Uchiha clan from going to the battlefield and from joining the Anbu, and only allowing them to do ordinary work in the security forces, the Uchiha clan members had no opportunity for emotional fluctuations.

Until the later stages and end of the Third Shinobi World War, Konoha suffered such heavy casualties that they had to rely heavily on the Uchiha clan again. The Uchiha could be seen on both the battlefield and in the Anbu.

Thus, the three geniuses, Obito, Shisui, and Itachi, were born.

"This is the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Shen Qiu knew that Hatake Sakumo probably didn't know much about the Mangekyou Sharingan, so he patiently explained that there was no point in keeping the existence of the Mangekyou Sharingan a secret. It was better to tell him sooner rather than later to show his trust in the village and make Danzo more wary.

"You are probably familiar with Madara Uchiha, the ninja who fought a great battle against the legendary God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, at the Valley of the End."

Upon hearing the names of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, Sakumo Hatake's expression immediately turned serious. These two were household names throughout the entire ninja world.

"Madara Uchiha possesses eyes like these, but he has two, while I only have one."

As he spoke, Shen Qiu gently touched his right eye, and his words also stirred up a storm in Hatake Sakumo's heart!

Eyes just like Madara Uchiha's!

If this news got out, who knows how much of a shock it would cause in the ninja world? Thinking of this, Sakumo felt relieved. No wonder Hozuki Senjin and Root were no match for Shen Qiu.

Shen Qiu actually told a little lie here: when Madara fought Hashirama Senju at the Valley of the End, Madara's eyes were actually the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, not the Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, the Eternal Kaleidoscope is not much different from the regular Kaleidoscope; it just won't cause blindness when used. Shen Qiu is currently using the Sands of Time as his trump card, and has only used it twice in total.

One time was against mechanized forces in the real world, and the other time was this one.

Although he could clearly feel the depletion of his pupil power, he was still some time away from going blind, so he didn't really need to think about the somewhat distant matter of the Eternal Kaleidoscope right now.

"...Brother Shuo Mao!"

Just as the two were chatting, Kato Dan and Shiranui Genfu also arrived. They had rested for a while because they had overdrawn their chakra before coming over.

Although it was supposed to be a 3v3 match, it was probably actually Hatake Sakumo who single-handedly defeated Kurihara Kushimaru and Murashi Jinpachi, since Shiranui Genpu and Kato Dan were probably already at their limit.

Nawaki looked at the crowd in front of him, still somewhat dazed. Because Hinata Kiyokawa had deliberately restrained his power, he was not actually injured, but had been knocked unconscious.

Ruri had already approached with the three children. In fact, she had arrived earlier, but she had been listening quietly to the conversation between Hatake Sakumo and Shen Qiuzhi without interrupting them.

"Brother Sakumo, this is...."

Looking at the four Root members lying in pools of blood, each with a different manner of death, Kato Dan's expression was not very good. Given his level, he was not very clear about the existence of Root and subconsciously mistook the people in front of him for Anbu.

"Since you're all here, then listen to what I have to say..."

Hook it up in forty minutes.

After listening to Sakumo's story, everyone looked at Shen Qiu with curiosity and surprise in their eyes, except for Senju Nawaki, who only had deep displeasure in his eyes.

"In any case, our primary task now is to return to Konoha. We can make a decision on the rest after I report to the Hokage."

At this point, Sakumo let out a long sigh. He and Shen Qiu had already been implicitly classified into the Hokage faction by the higher-ups, but whether Hiruzen Sarutobi would protect them this time was really uncertain.

"set off!"

"Huh? Aren't you going to rest a little longer?"

"The Rope Tree!"

"You mean... that kid awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi watched the snow falling outside the window, puffing on his tobacco. As he gazed at the endlessly drifting snowflakes, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

It's already December, and winter seems to have come exceptionally early this year. For Konoha, the past thirty years have actually been pretty good.

At least there were no major disasters within the entire Land of Fire. Although some accidents were unavoidable, they were ultimately just minor disturbances.

But for the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind, this year has been particularly difficult.

At the beginning of the year, the Land of Earth was afflicted by a locust plague, and the newly planted grain seeds were devoured in no time. In the middle of the year, the Land of Wind suffered a drought, and it is said that ordinary people are having great difficulty even getting water.

Not to mention the crops that have been planted.

Hiruzen Sarutobi did not know the exact amount of damage they had suffered, but even at this point, the two great powers remained silent and showed no intention of seeking help from the outside world.

This is not a good sign.

Three days have passed since Shen Qiu and his group returned. During these three days, the higher-ups of Konoha have not made a sound, and the place is as silent as death.

This was merely a precursor to a volcanic eruption.

"Yes, the pattern on his right eye is clearly 150 degrees different from that of a normal Sharingan, and he himself told me that his right eye is called the Mangekyou Sharingan, and its ability is to use an unreasonable purple energy, which he named Annihilation."

Mangekyō Sharingan.

Others may not know what this name represents, but Hiruzen Sarutobi knows. As a student of both Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, he still feels fear in his heart whenever he thinks of the man named Madara Uchiha!

The reason that man could dominate the ninja world like Hashirama Senju was because of his eyes—those Mangekyou Sharingan eyes that even Hashirama found extremely troublesome.

"You mean, he only has one kaleidoscope eye?"

After hearing Sakumo's report, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly became interested. In fact, he didn't know much about the Mangekyou Sharingan, but if there was only one, its power would definitely be greatly reduced.

Holding Uchiha Aki in one's hands as a trump card doesn't seem like an impossible thing to do.

"I understand, Sakumo, go and inform the other Hokage assistants."

"Also, the head of the Hyuga clan...the branch family and the main family must be notified, as well as the heads of the Akimichi, Nara, and Yamanaka clans, the Inuzuka, Kurama, and Aburame clans, and the Uchiha clan, and finally..."

He suddenly fell silent at the end of his speech.

However, after struggling for a few minutes, he finally called out his last name.

"And the Senju clan!"

"Inform them to assemble in the Hokage's meeting room in one hour. I will be holding a Hokage meeting. Also—"

At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly changed the subject.

"Go and call Uchiha Akiya over. I'm allowing him to sit in on this meeting and speak."

Upon hearing the name Uchiha Aki, Sakumo was stunned.

"This is probably inappropriate, Hokage-sama. Those attending this meeting are all high-ranking officials of Konoha. Uchiha Aki is only eleven or twelve years old; it's really inappropriate for him to attend the Hokage meeting at that age..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"A child? Hmph, he killed Hozuki Senjin, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and four members of Root all by himself without any emotional reaction. Sakumo, you don't really think he's a child, do you?"

At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Sakumo Hatake with a hint of amusement. As someone who had mastered the art of Machiavellianism to its fullest extent, how could he not know what Sakumo Hatake was thinking?

With Uchiha Aki not present, Shimura Danzo had no outlet for his anger.

But right now, he needs Uchiha Aki to plunge this sharp knife deep into Shimura Danzo's body.

Danzo has witnessed his every step of development over the years. In addition to taking away a large number of geniuses from the Ninja Academy every year through both enticement and coercion, he has now also become involved with powerful clans.

This is something that Hiruzen Sarutobi absolutely cannot tolerate!

These clans with secret techniques or bloodlines are actually the cornerstone of Konoha's leadership's ability to rule the village. Therefore, managing the relationship between these powerful clans and the village's families requires very complex methods.

"Aburame, Kurama, and Hyuga are all far too restless."

After Sakumo stepped down, Hiruzen Sarutobi said quietly, "Now it's just these three families, but what about in the future? If every family learns from these three families and acts one way in public and another in private in order to gain enough benefits for themselves..."

Then what is he, the Hokage, even worth? A puppet?

Danzo went way too far!

Thinking of this, a ruthless glint appeared in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes. Today's meeting was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

While pondering, Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze involuntarily drifted to his desk, where he saw a clean sheet of white paper.

The letter of inquiry from the Mizukage and the Daimyo of the Land of Water.

Two days ago, in the misty, watery office building.

"Three members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, including Hozuki Senjin, were involved in such a simple mission, yet two were killed and one seriously injured. I won't even mention the death of Munashi Jinpachi, but your investigation revealed that Hozuki Senjin died at the hands of an Uchiha genin. Suigetsu Fuguki, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"

The Third Mizukage, Sora Minazuki, had a handsome face and exuded a refined and scholarly air. He also had a very good personality, was approachable, and was deeply loved by the people of Kirigakure.

Suigetsu Hozuki knelt before him, not daring to utter a single word. He had never seen the Mizukage so angry! Only then did he realize the terrifying strength beneath the Mizukage's gentle exterior.

"I apologize, Mizukage-sama... This was indeed a case of oversight on my part. I didn't anticipate that the reinforcements sent by Konoha would be so powerful. I was too reckless..."
