Uchiha's Counterattack

Regardless of the outcome of the civil war, Konoha Village will definitely be split in half because of this war, and its strength will instantly drop from the top of the five major nations to the status of a medium-ninja village in one fell swoop.

At that time, it will inevitably attract the attention of the ninja villages of other big countries. The Konoha Village, which has just experienced a civil war, will inevitably be declared war by at least two big countries at the same time within a month, and the first one to take action must be Suna from the Kingdom of Wind.

Ninja Village.

This is tantamount to a disaster for Konoha.

Therefore, after weighing the rights and disadvantages, the Third Hokage finally found out that Uchiha's troubles were beyond control. Of course, the most important thing was the exposure of Itachi Uchiha and the death of Shisui, which made the top management of Konoha completely lost.

Monitoring and control of Uchiha.

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage couldn't help but think about Shisui's death, and who had seen through Itachi's identity as a double agent?

If possible, the Third Hokage would like to talk to the other party alone.

"It is a good thing for Uchiha that the Third Generation has such a clear understanding. But from my point of view, I really hope that the Third Generation will not be so reasonable on special occasions like tonight."

"If you had faced up to Uchiha's problems earlier and had not fully complied with the Second Hokage's policies, perhaps things would not have reached this point today. It is true that Uchiha has done wrong things before, but don't forget...

.”

"In the first, second and third Ninja War, hundreds of Uchiha elites died fighting for Konoha Village. They all died fighting for the peace of Konoha Village. Their

Blood, their lives, and their souls... Please do not continue to insult the sacrifices of these heroic spirits, otherwise Uchiha will never give up - please convey my meaning to those people."

"Next... Uchiha has no intention of becoming an enemy of Konoha, and this incident is just as the Third Hokage said, it is all just a misunderstanding."

Fugaku took a deep breath. He knew that ending everything tonight was the best choice. Continuing would be a disaster for Konoha Village and a catastrophe for Uchiha. There was no need to resist so hard.

"Master Patriarch! Why!"

"Shut up!"

Fugaku waved his hand and threw out a chain, tying up the agitated tribesman directly. He was very tired now. The side effects of the kaleidoscope were more serious than he imagined, and - he always felt that his vision was a bit blurry?

"All Uchiha, listen to me. The battle that broke out here was an accident and has no other meaning. And between us Uchiha and Konoha... there is no hostility to each other!" When saying the last words, Fugaku's

His expression showed sarcasm and loneliness, making it feel like he was telling a black joke.

"All ANBU listen to the order! Put away your weapons and stop all actions. We are the strongest family in Konoha Village here. There are no enemies or threats here."

The Third Hokage's order was quickly implemented. As the ANBU put away their weapons, the mood on the Uchiha side became much more stable, and the simmering smell of gunpowder in the scene also became...well, not much lighter,

After all, they were staring at each other with eyes that said, "Believe it or not, I'll kill you, and I'll even raise your ashes!"

"That's all for tonight. I hope that Chief Fugaku will be able to attend tomorrow's Hokage meeting. We may need to talk openly about some topics then."

The Third Hokage glanced at Kakashi, who was still imprisoned.

"Huh, I'll be there on time."

Fugaku snorted coldly.

Although he was very unhappy, he still waved his hand and released the restraint on Kakashi. The latter's body flashed with light, and he fell to the ground on the spot with a sore body, breathing heavily.

Kakashi rested for a few seconds, then reluctantly stood up and tried to help Itachi, who was seriously injured on the ground. After all, this emergency dispatch was partly due to Itachi's existence.

However, at this moment——

"Fire Ying!"

Xia Nan, who didn't know when he appeared, appeared in the light of the fire. Although he was in a wet and embarrassed state, and even the firefly he was waving seemed so weak, he still shook Kakashi's arm away.

"Everyone can leave, but Uchiha Itachi is a member of the Uchiha clan and the eldest son of the Fugaku clan leader, so Uchiha Itachi must stay for any reason!"

"you--!"

Kakashi turned over and tried to fight back.

"fire punch!!"

Boom!

The violent flames rubbed Kakashi's hair and flew into the air, then exploded into a huge sea of ​​​​fire with a roar, and the originally dark sky was illuminated red again.

At this moment, the ninjas who saw the ability of the Burning Fruit for the first time, including the Third Hokage, stared blankly at the burning night sky. This was the first time they saw that they didn't need the connecting seal. They could do this with just their physical abilities.

One step ninja.

"This time it's just a warning, next time I'll burn your ashes together!"

With one side of his body still burning with fire, Xia Nan grabbed the ferret on the ground.

The Third Hokage narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at Xia Nan, who was panting heavily but still holding Itachi's collar tightly in his hand. He clearly understood that the other party was deliberately demonstrating, and although he was reluctant, he still wanted to show off to him.

Show Uchiha's toughness.

Xia Nan dragged Itachi by his collar and walked to Fugaku step by step. After the two looked at each other, Fugaku nodded gently.

Then Fugaku stood up and pointed in the direction of the Uchiha gate, and said coldly: "Sandaime-sama, please come back. As for Itachi, he is a member of the Uchiha clan, and we will make appropriate arrangements for him."

To be honest, the Third Generation didn't want to leave Itachi to the Uchiha clan, but the situation tonight really didn't allow him to do anything else. Their nerves had reached the point of no flexibility, and a war could break out anytime, anywhere.

So here the Third Hokage just took a deep look at Fugaku, and then glanced at Xia Nan. That profound gaze seemed to want to memorize the other person's face deeply in his heart, and Xia Nan was even a little hairy when he looked at it.

"...Let's go, Kakashi."

"As you command, Third Generation Sir."

The Third Hokage led the ANBU and left under the watchful eyes of all Uchiha.

Leaving behind the necessary monitoring ANBU, the Third Hokage rushed back to the Hokage Building and explained the "misunderstanding" tonight to the ninjas stationed there, and announced that a Hokage meeting would be held tomorrow and invited all the families in the village to attend.

Shortly after the Sandaime left.

Fugaku dismissed the gathered Uchiha people, and he took Xia Nan and carried the unconscious Itachi to a secret place.
