Chapter 380 Still Water I hope you won't hide anything from me
However, he also has his own trump card. Deidara is young; in three years, he will only be twelve or thirteen years old, just the right age to graduate.
By then, Deidara's strength...
Onoki's lips curled up slightly.
They've practically secured a victory. Then he can personally train a few disciples and shut them out completely. Let's see what the big name has to say then.
The Land of Fire, Konoha Village.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at the intelligence report in his hand, remaining silent for a long time.
He not only disapproved of Kirigakure's approach, but was also wary of the Fourth Mizukage's disappearance.
The masked man, has that man started making moves again?
He put down the intelligence report, walked to the window, and looked at the scene in the village.
In peacetime, the villagers' lives are getting better and better, the streets are bustling with people, and the laughter of children rises and falls.
All of this must not be allowed to be disrupted by anyone.
Even if it costs that old man his life!
"Boar..." Just as he was feeling sentimental and self-satisfied, preparing to have the ANBU ninjas continue to track him down and gather intelligence.
Danzo and his two advisors came to their door at this time.
As soon as they entered the Hokage's office, Mitokado Homura signaled the Anbu to close the doors and windows tightly.
Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around and looked at Danzo's perpetually gloomy face, as well as the solemn expressions on Koharu Utatane's and Homura Mitokado's faces. A bad feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.
"Hiruzen!" Koharu Utatane said慌张地, "The Uchiha clan has produced too many genius disciples in recent years; we must suppress them!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned.
So, you all rushed over here just to talk about this. I thought something serious had happened again.
"Ah..." Hiruzen Sarutobi sat down again and clicked his tongue. "Isn't the emergence of geniuses from the Uchiha clan a good thing for Konoha? What's there to report about this?"
He was certainly aware of the situation of the Uchiha clan and kept a close eye on it.
Shisui, who has joined the Anbu in recent years, has already distinguished himself and his strength has reached the level of an elite Jonin. Keep in mind, he is only fifteen years old.
Then there are the Uchiha brothers, Ryouka and Ryouka, who are elite among the Jonin. Even if the elders of the council were to personally take action, they couldn't guarantee a victory against the two brothers working together.
In addition, there is Uchiha Itachi, who awakened the Sharingan at a young age and achieved first place in all subjects at the Ninja Academy. He was even called the strongest genius of his generation in the Uchiha clan.
If he's this good, how could Fugaku Uchiha's second son be any less talented?
After all, Fugaku Uchiha was someone who had awakened a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan. Although he had to replace his eyes years ago due to exhaustion of his eye power, his strength and talent were still not to be underestimated.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache again. Back then, the pair of eyes that Fugaku Uchiha had replaced were about to run out of eye power, so he didn't insist on keeping them. Orochimaru took them to nurture and study them for a period of time.
The Uchiha clan forcibly took it back, and it's probably still in their warehouse, soaking in medicine.
Of course, the most important thing is Uchiha Mori's pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, which is the sword that hangs in everyone's hearts at all times.
Fortunately, Uchiha Mamoru is still somewhat aligned with the Hokage lineage, as long as his master-disciple relationship with Namikaze Minato remains...
Alas, that led to him risking his life to save Naruto's child that day.
At this moment, Koharu Utatane said, "Hiruzen, you can't just stand by and do nothing! We don't have any truly capable young ninjas among our ranks!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi crossed his arms and leaned back, "You can't say that. Kakashi Hatake is a good kid."
Of course, there's also Matt Kay, but he can't say that.
Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai are slightly less capable, but if properly trained, they can also become top-tier elites.
Mitokado Homura sighed, full of resentment, "Recently, there have been too many geniuses and strong individuals in the Uchiha clan, and their attitude has become increasingly arrogant, completely disregarding other ninja clans."
Many ninjas have complained to me, but when I went to their place with my men to demand an explanation, I was kicked out. I was utterly humiliated.
Hiruzen Sarutobi remained unmoved, continuing to dodge the question: "Uchiha are always a bit proud, you have to be understanding of some things, and you need to improve your approach to handling them."
Until Shimura Danzo, who had not spoken before, opened his mouth and unleashed a thunderous revelation.
"Hiruzen, there's something I have to tell you. Shisui's teammates on the mission were all wiped out; they were on very good terms. You should know this isn't good news."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other two elders instantly turned ugly.
"You mean yet another pair... Danzo? This is no time for jokes."
"I don't know, I'm just stating information."
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi's brows furrowed even more, and he tapped his fingers on the table repeatedly, the dull sound echoing in the office.
After a long while, he raised his head: "Let me think about it. You should all go back first. After all, the Uchiha are still the Uchiha of Konoha."
"Hiruzen—"
Danzo stood up, turned around as he walked to the door, and stared at the Hokage with his exposed eye.
"I hope you can make a decision soon. You know, the Uchiha clan still hasn't given an explanation for what happened a few years ago."
"We can't think like that. Perhaps... what happened back then really had nothing to do with them?"
His eyes darted around as he spoke, clearly indicating that even he himself harbored some doubts.
"Yes, Hiruzen, think about what our teacher told us. The Uchiha clan is an inherently evil race. Before they awakened their Mangekyou Sharingan, they might have been trustworthy. But after awakening the Mangekyou, perhaps evil has already eroded their minds, twisting their hearts, and they are no longer the same people they once were."
In short, the Uchiha with the Mangekyou Sharingan are not to be trusted. They are all ticking time bombs that could explode at any moment and blow Konoha to smithereens!
They cannot allow Konoha to be destroyed, nor can they allow Konoha to be destroyed in their hands. Otherwise, they would be ashamed of their master and would not be able to go to the Pure Land even after death!
After the three left, the room became quiet.
"Uchiha, oh Uchiha..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi muttered to himself, "But Konoha can no longer stir up any trouble..."
After a long while, he called out into the shadows, "Pig, go and call the White Bird here. I have something to ask him..."
Shiratori is Uchiha Shisui, and Hiruzen Sarutobi wants to know if he has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Soon after, a ninja wearing a white bird mask appeared inside the Hokage's office building and knelt on one knee in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Shiratori has met Lord Sandai."
"Shisui, I want to ask you something, and I hope you won't hide it from me."
