178 Chapter 178: The Approach of the Uchiha Clan

Whoosh!

Yeruashi returned home.

At that time, the area had already separated, the Anbu were positioned around the perimeter, preventing the approach of the Konoha ninja, and Rin was still in a state of combat readiness.

But inside the standout, with the exception of Rin, Kakashi and Kurenai, there were a large number of ninja wearing Uchiha Clan clothing, led by Uchiha Fugaku.

At this time.

Uchiha Fugaku crouched down and bent over the sleeping Kakashi and Kurenai, three Tomoe swirled in his scarlet pupils, a gentle stream of chakra gushed out and suddenly shone twice.

After that, Fugaku straightened up and closed his eyes, when his eyes opened again, the three Tomoe had already disappeared, then he turned his head to look at Yeruashi, who was standing nearby.

"I apologize, there were problems with the night patrol, so I decided to personally address this problem. I, as the Chief of the Konoha Military Police, am ashamed of this.... I helped them dispel the Genjutsu."

Fugaku turned to Yeruashi.

Yeruashi nodded his head, "Thank you."

The words about the Military Police were just an excuse. The fact that Fugaku appeared here with a large number of Uchiha Clan ninja, and forcing the Anbu to act only on the perimeter, is an act of marking the position.

Fugaku decided to play a game of chance.

The Uchiha Clan is isolated from Konoha. After Minato became the Fourth Hokage, the power still remains in the hands of Hiruzen, so the situation does not change for the better.

Interfering with this event was a gamble. If Yeruashi loses, even if Fugaku uses 'acting as the Chief of the Konoha Military Police' as an excuse and avoids direct responsibility, and Hiruzen and the others will definitely increase the pressure on the Uchiha Clan.

If Yeruashi wins, their situation should change for the better.

Now.

Yeruashi's return meant his victory, he made the right bet in this game of chance.

"What happened?"

Fugaku sighed in relief and turned to Yeruashi.

Yeruashi squatted down next to Kurenai and Kakashi, put his hands on their shoulders and said, "Danzo is dead, and from now on he won't interfere in Konoha's affairs."

Fugaku was stunned by the news of Danzo's death, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, he stiffened visibly, "No interference?"

"Yes, in the affairs of others."

After seeing Kakashi and Kurenai, Yeruashi stood up, looked at Fugaku and smiled and said, "This also applies to them, by the way... my house is destroyed, can Major Fugaku help me with this?"

Hearing Yeruashi's words, Fugaku thought for a moment and smiled, understanding the hidden meaning of this request and said, "Ah, how can I refuse you? For the Uchiha Clan, it won't be any problem, follow me."

Yeruashi turned to look at Rin, who was still in Sanbi Chakra mode, and nodded reassuringly and said, "Rin, you can remove the Sanbi chakra and wake them up."

"Okay."

Rin breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Yeruashi returned rather quickly, to Rin this time felt like an eternity. At first, she was left alone briefly with Hiruzen and was surrounded by the Anbu, and then the ninja of the Uchiha Clan, led by Fugaku, appeared and confronted the Anbu, pushing them back to the perimeter.

The fact was that this time he was not facing enemies, but superior representatives of Konoha, which gave him a completely different feeling compared to being on the battlefield.

"...Hey, what happened?"

Kurenai woke up and looked around confused, after a few seconds, she exclaimed in a dazed voice, "It was.... Genjutsu? What happened!"

"It's all right."

Yeruashi smiled and said, "But the house, unfortunately, was destroyed. For starters, we'll move to another place, a little later I'll tell you what happened."

Kakashi also came to his senses and looked around. Assessing the surrounding situation, he tensed visibly, understanding more or less what had happened.

He looked at Yeruashi and confirmed his guesses, exchanging glances with him.

But he didn't ask questions right away, and silently got up and followed Yeruashi. Only after Fugaku escorted them all to the Uchiha clan's territory and provided them with not too spacious but clean rooms, he looked at Yeruashi and asked, "This.... Big brother, have they made a move against you?"

"Yes."

Yeruashi nodded and said, "But it's over now."

Kakashi asked a little nervously, "Is everything okay?"

Yeruashi smiled, sat down and said, "What could be wrong? I just swept away the dust that caught my attention."

"..."

Kakashi was speechless for a moment.

He didn't know where this feeling came from, but hearing Yeruashi's words made him want to curse and clutch his head.

"What's the situation and what happened to Minato-sensei?"

"Danzo is dead and Root is completely destroyed by me, besides, there was a brief battle with Minato, from which I emerged victorious. From now on, he will no longer interfere in the affairs of Konoha, and the Uchiha Clan has sided with me."

Yeruashi, in a few words, briefly described the situation as if it was something insignificant.

It seemed like it sounded trivial, but after receiving this information, Kurenai and Kakashi felt a strong shock, only after a while they barely calmed down.

"Danzo made a move, wanting to get the power of his older brother... the paths of older brother and sensei finally parted..."

Kakashi lowered his head and whispered loudly.

Although he already had an inkling of this, but separating Yeruashi from Konoha and Minato still made him feel a complicated and heavy feeling, after all, he's in the middle.

"Big brother, then I'm going to..."

Kakashi looked questioningly at his older brother.

If Minato and Yeruashi are on different sides, and Kakashi has no other choice, then he will surely choose the direction of his older brother.

"Like before, you're still a Jounin of Konoha."

Yeruashi looked at Kakashi and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, follow your sensei.... Live as you have lived before. Minato and I have different views, and after everything that happened today, conflict will never happen again."

Kakashi sighed in relief when he heard his older brother's words.

It ended much better than he expected.

He had already assumed that in the worst case scenario, due to this conflict with Konoha's superiors, Yeruashi would decide to start an active fight for the position of Hokage, raising a huge wave of internal disagreements.

But fortunately, it seems that Minato and Yeruashi do not intend to enter into open conflict, Kakashi did not want Konoha to be consumed by the flames of war due to internal disagreements. Although he regretted that Minato and Yeruashi couldn't join forces, but in the current situation, it was safe to say that it had ended quite well.
