Chap 26

Hokage building.

At the moment Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzō are sitting in Hokage's office discussing something.

"Danzo, what is going on with the Uchiha clan? Anbu has sent news that the source of the loud noise just now is the Uchiha clan."

"Did you let Itachi carry out the order? Now Uchiha's people are fine, but the root ninja has disappeared? Is this what you told me?"

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's angry question, Shimura Danzō also looked confused.

After he told Itachi about his plan to exterminate the Uchiha clan, the root ninja he sent disappeared without any news. Originally, root had a unique means of sending messages.

As long as the distance is not too far, Danzo will be informed of any changes in the matter at the first time.

But now those root ninjas really seem to have disappeared out of thin air, not only the corpses are gone, but even the positioning ninjutsu can't find their traces.

"Hiruzen, I just sent the roots to help Uchiha Itachi according to the plan. I don't know what happened."

"Huh...Danzo, didn't I say that I would think of a way to get the best of both worlds? You actually sent someone to mess around privately, and let Itachi do it yourself. Don't you have any guilt in your heart?"

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's indifferent tone, even a gloomy Shimura Danzō could hardly suppress his anger.

He understood what Sarutobi Hiruzen meant, if the plan tonight was carried out smoothly, then all the charges would be borne by Uchiha Itachi, after all, the other party also agreed to this matter.

But something went wrong now, and the two of them knew nothing about it. Once the incident was revealed, he must be the one to blame.

Looking at it now, there are only the two of them in this office, and Sarutobi Hiruzen still looks righteous, which is really disgusting.

"Hmph! All the subordinates I sent have disappeared. I still have a headache about this matter. Guilty? Guilty for what? If there is no me to bear the darkness of Konoha, it is still unknown whether the village can develop to the present, let alone your Hokage. seat."

"Danzo, you've said it." A trace of indifference appeared on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face.

Bang bang bang!

Just when the atmosphere was dull, a sudden knock on the door interrupted everything. I don't know if it was an illusion, but the whole office seemed to be a little brighter.

"What's up?"

"Report to Master Hokage, Chief Uchiha brought his son to see him."

"Um?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's small eyes were full of big doubts.

Come to see me at this time? Could it be that Itachi betrayed? In the end is to fight or what to do.

But time did not allow him to think about it, so he could only order them to come in.

Not long after, with the sound of the door opening, Uchiha Fugaku entered Hokage's office with Uchiha Itachi.

"Hokage-sama, Danzo-sama." Uchiha Fugaku greeted the two high-ranking Konoha sitting there very calmly, without the slightest emotion in his words.

"Fugaku? It's so late, what's the matter with you coming here, the loud voice from your place just now, are you okay?"

Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen showed concern, seemed really nervous about the safety of the Uchiha clan.

"Return to Master Hokage, I came to explain exactly this."

Uchiha Fugaku stepped forward and said solemnly.

"A lot of root ninjas came to us just now. Before our people asked what happened, we saw a man in a mask appear. I don't know what method was used. All root ninjas disappeared. Our Uchiha clan sent people to stop them. It's unfortunate. Many clansmen have been lost."

"But the man disappeared very quickly. We don't know exactly what happened. The loud noise just now was our tribe attacking the masked man."

"Oh?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen has a headache, who is this masked man? Whether the target is the Uchiha family or something else, things are getting more and more confusing.

"Anyway, I still want to thank you for stopping that person, otherwise letting him go inside the village might not cause any damage."

After saying thanks, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his attention to Uchiha Itachi again.

"Itachi, are you alright?"

"Thank you Master Hokage for your concern. This subordinate is fine, but my father still has something to tell you, so this subordinate interrupted."

After Uchiha Itachi finished speaking, he took a step back and stood there with his head down, thinking of something.

Seeing this scene, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō felt a chill in their hearts. They were afraid that Uchiha Itachi would approach the family. In this case, if the Uchiha family rebelled, Konoha might enter an unprecedented period of weakness.

"Master Hokage, I'm here to apologize!"

Although he was shocked by Uchiha Fugaku's words in his heart, he still showed concern on the surface.

"Fugaku, what crime are you asking for? You shouldn't blame you for not catching the masked man, so don't take it to heart."

"It's actually like this. Some of our clansmen wanted to defect to the village before. I didn't report it immediately. This is my responsibility. Although I have ordered them to be executed, this incident still makes me blame myself."

"That's why I said it today to plead guilty."

Uchiha Fugaku also lowered his head, as if he really felt that he was wrong.

"call..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of smoke, and looked at the two people in front of him with squinted eyes. He was considering whether what the other party said was true or not. Shimura Danzō did not speak at the moment, and he was also thinking about what Uchiha Fugaku meant. Did Uchiha Itachi rebel or not.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

Finally, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke.

"Fugaku, I understand this matter, but as the patriarch, you are the village on one side and the family on the other. It's understandable that you didn't report to me immediately, and you led the clan to save everyone tonight. I won't pursue the matter."

Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Itachi breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. What Uchiha Fugaku was worried about was not being able to complete the task assigned by Kirito.

And Uchiha Itachi is worried about what he should do if Sarutobi Hiruzen attacks.

"Thank you Hokage-sama, I have handed over the body of the person who was executed to Anbu. This is also an explanation to you. I, the Uchiha clan, are absolutely loyal to Konoha, and such incidents will never happen again."

"Once this happens again, I am willing to commit suicide and apologize!"

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's heavy words, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke hastily.

"You don't have to. I've said that this matter is not your responsibility. I never doubted the loyalty of the Uchiha clan. Otherwise, I wouldn't let Itachi be the Anbu ninja."

"Chief Fugaku, what happened to you Uchiha is a serious crime, and you really have nothing to do with what happened tonight? Several ninjas in the root are missing! How are you going to explain this matter!"

Shimura Danzō spoke, pointing directly at Uchiha Fugaku, he really didn't want Uchiha clan to live.
