Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 448 Resignation

"Um?"

Just as he made his request, Toshiro suddenly sensed a fluctuation of the Flying Thunder God Mark in the space.

Without hesitation, the kaleidoscope pattern appeared in his eyes, and ripples of space spread out around him.

Then a figure emerged from the ripples in the space.

"Oh! It's a flame fan!"

"Looks like this was a good haul!"

Catching the flaming fan thrown by his clone, Toshiro squinted at the Uchiha family's heirloom weapon, letting the clone merge into his shadow.

At the same time, he also received the experience his clone had just gone through in his mind.

Although Obito escaped, he can't escape the Kamui dimension. Moreover, his eye technique can do just that—open the Kamui dimension.

"This is~"

The Third Hokage, who was originally prepared to jump up and oppose Toshiro's demands, and the heads of the families behind him, were all taken aback by this sudden turn of events.

At the same time, he began to wonder to himself, "Was that just now a space-time ninjutsu?"

"Of course, I'm not unreasonable. As a concession, I can let go of the matter of Danzo!"

Since he was going to become Hokage, some compromises were inevitable. A leader can't just do whatever he wants because he has the biggest fist. Conflicts of interest, compromises and concessions are all necessary.

"This…"

The Third Hokage's expression remained unchanged, but Nara Shikaku, standing behind him, looked at the Third Hokage's back, opened his mouth, and was momentarily speechless.

He originally intended to speak out in opposition.

Not only him, but even the other family heads beside him, such as Sarutobi and Utatane, were momentarily stunned. Their gazes toward the Third Hokage revealed a mixture of resentment and dissatisfaction.

If a family were to lose half of its staff all at once, the impact on the family would be enormous, and they would strongly oppose it.

However, it was practically a foregone conclusion that Uchiha Toshiro would become the Fifth Hokage, and the Third Hokage was their only hope against the Fifth Hokage's suppression.

If the other side keeps pressing the matter of Danzo and drags it into the Third Hokage, they will face direct suppression from Toshiro.

They knew how their own clan had dealt with the Uchiha clan when they followed the Third Hokage.

Now the tables have turned, and it's the Uchiha's turn to be Hokage. This is the time for them to band together for mutual support; without the Third Hokage, the consequences would be unimaginable.

……

Outside the Uchiha compound.

"How's it going? Still no results?"

A long time has passed, and neither Hinata's Byakugan nor Aburame's insects have been able to detect the specific situation inside the barrier.

The longer it went on, the less these family heads could control their anxiety.

"Alright, stop arguing!" Seeing the heads of the surrounding small and medium-sized families, Hyuga Hiashi was also losing his temper, infected by their irritable emotions.

"The fact that no fighting broke out is the best news!"

Although he couldn't see the specific situation inside the barrier, Aburame and Inuzuka's reactions told him that things hadn't reached the worst point yet.

"Big brother, someone's coming out!" Hyuga Hizashi, dressed simply, suddenly spoke up beside Hiashi, drawing everyone's attention.

"What came out of the barrier looks like... Kakashi Hatake! And... he's heading this way!"

After a quick look, Hizashi recognized the person's identity.

"Clan Head Hyuga, and everyone else..."

Looking at the Konoha clan leaders in front of him, Kakashi didn't stand on ceremony and said directly:

"Please proceed to the Uchiha headquarters; there are important matters to discuss there!"

"Kakashi, what exactly happened inside?" Staring at Kakashi, Hiashi impatiently began to ask, "Discuss? Discuss what?"

Not only him, but all the families present stared wide-eyed at Kakashi, hoping he could explain what had happened inside the barrier!

"This...the situation is far too complicated...you patriarchs will understand once you go inside!"

The situation inside was too complicated to explain in just a few words. He also had other people to notify, so he simply didn't have time to explain it to them in detail.

"Yes...it's about the Third Hokage stepping down and the Fifth Hokage reshuffling Konoha's personnel!"

After giving a brief introduction, Kakashi walked towards the other side, where there was another large group of Konoha ninja.

There was also a large group of people gathered over there, but unlike the group of clan leaders here, they were all ordinary Jonin from Konoha, and there were many more of them than over here.

"The third-generation leader has stepped down, but new personnel appointments are being made!"

A murmur of whispers and murmurs could be heard.

Kakashi still managed to grasp the key points; with just a few words, he successfully caused an uproar among the family heads present.

"Let's go!"

Upon hearing that the Third Hokage was stepping down, Hiashi knew that the Uchiha had won this time. He never expected that the Third Hokage, who had come with a large group of people and was full of arrogance, would end up stepping down.

There are also new personnel appointments!

Compared to the third generation's resignation, he was undoubtedly more concerned about this news.

This moment of power transition is precisely a time of power turmoil. Countless small families have seized this opportunity and risen to prominence.

They absolutely cannot miss this opportunity with the Hyuga clan.

At the same time, he turned his gaze to the clan heads behind him, whose eyes were darting around, and to the group of civilian ninjas in the distance.

Tonight... I'm destined to be sleepless!

……

"Toshiro, is this the Flame Fan? Wasn't it lost after that incident? And... that clone of yours just now, it was from..."

Looking at the flame fan in Toshiro's hand, Uchiha Rinpoche, especially Uchiha Izuna, had a look of reminiscence in their eyes.

Uchiha Izuna, in particular, gave a cold glance to the First and Second Hokage opposite him.

He was very familiar with this thing; his older brother used to use it to fight against Hashirama Senju.

"Oh, this!"

Not only was Izuna curious, but Toshiro also glanced at the First and Second Hokage beside them, who were also pricked up with their ears, and smiled mysteriously.

"They must have some connection to Chief Ban!"

He didn't go into details, as it involved the Eye of the Moon project, and there was no need to explain it too clearly to them.

He couldn't just openly reveal Madara's plan at this point, could he? Otherwise, the Third Hokage and the others, as well as the First and Second Hokage, would surely be furious!

"Compared to this, let's deal with these people first!"

After saying that, Toshiro turned his gaze to the people who were gradually appearing at the entrance of the barrier.
