Chapter 72: The Escort

Inside the meeting room.

"Hold on, Dan."

Fugaku once again stopped his brother-in-law who was about to leave. It turned out that although only Fugaku could attend the clan head-level meeting tomorrow, as the head of the clan, he needed to maintain a certain level of prestige.

According to the rules, Fugaku could bring two guards into the Hokage building.

So, he approached Dan.

"Alright."

Dan thought for a moment and didn't refuse. He had lived for twenty-four years and had never been to the Hokage building. This time, he could take a look.

As for the other guard...

Dan glanced at Shisui's back and casually suggested to Fugaku:

"I heard Shisui has always wanted to meet the Third Hokage, so let him go."

Dan wanted to see if Shisui, who had lost his Sharingan, would still stubbornly adhere to the so-called Will of Fire.

Outside the Police Department building.

The Uchiha clan members were all beaming with joy and relief, as if they had finally shed a long-standing burden.

They were passionately discussing fitness topics while patiently waiting.

"Master!"

As soon as Dan walked out of the building, everyone immediately surrounded him, like stars around the moon.

Then.

A group of dozens of people marched out of the Uchiha clan area, heading towards the Body Modification Department.

Not far away.

The Anbu in the surveillance post saw this scene and immediately gathered information to report to the Hokage building.

In the Hokage's office.

"What on earth are the Uchiha up to? Aren't they worried at all?" The Third Hokage frowned.

Danzo, leaning on his cane, his eyes flashing, said in a deep voice, "No matter what the Uchiha are up to, at tomorrow's clan head meeting, we must sanction the Police Department."

Koharu and Homura also chimed in:

"The prison riot plan has been going well so far. Let Danzo preside over the clan head meeting tomorrow."

"…Alright." The Third Hokage was silent for a moment, then nodded.

The Leaf's Hokage advisors had already made a plan.

This time, they planned to take back the Police Department's prison, cut the Police Department's budget, and also send the Anbu to the Police Department to establish a supervision group at the clan head meeting.

In order to completely subdue the Uchiha clan.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

"Body—Mod!"

The Uchiha clan members shouted the slogan as they walked out of the gym, bathed in the setting sun, laughing and returning to the clan area.

The gym closed early today.

A night without words.

The sky was turning white, and a ray of morning light woke up the sleeping Leaf Village.

It was a new day.

At seven in the morning, Dan got up on time, as usual, picking up the black robe from the hanger. However, halfway through dressing, he suddenly remembered something and took it off.

Swish.

Dan opened the sliding door of the wardrobe and took out a deep blue high-collar robe from the back of the closet. On the back, there was a red and white Uchiha clan symbol.

Very conspicuous.

This robe was a gift from Uchiha Mikoto and Samui when they went shopping together a while ago. They had specifically asked Samui to give it to Dan.

It was a gift sewn by his sister.

Mikoto had always hoped that her brother could return to the family and become an Uchiha again.

Well, it was a kind thought.

Nevermind.

Dan shook his head.

Since he was going to serve as the clan head's guard today, it would be better to attend as an Uchiha.

So, after many years.

He put on the Uchiha robe again, looked at himself in the mirror, adjusted his collar, and finally tied a white belt around his waist.

This belt.

Not only could it hold the hem of the robe and make it more fitting, but it could also carry various ninja tools, swords, or scrolls.

According to the rules, as the clan head's guard, he could carry weapons into the Hokage building.

But for Dan, there was no need.

His body was the best weapon.

Walking out of the room, Samui had already prepared a steaming breakfast.

Thirty egg whites, twenty strips of bacon, a liter of milk.

He finished it quickly.

Dan wiped his mouth and sighed, "My appetite has been getting smaller recently."

Indeed.

As Dan completed his body modification, his appetite had become smaller and smaller. The days of eating a cow a day were gone.

This was because his muscles had been strengthened to the limit at this stage and no longer needed so much nutrition.

Perhaps in the future.

When Dan breaks through human limits again, his appetite will return.

After brushing his teeth and giving Samui a few instructions about the gym, Dan left.

As usual, Samui stood at the door, watching Dan walk out of the alley.

She knew Dan was going to the Hokage building.

It was today.

If the Uchiha clan and the Leaf Village completely fall out because of the Police Department, wouldn't that be an opportunity for the Cloud Village?

Samui now understood Dan better and better.

She had already discovered that with Dan's eccentric personality and strange style, wherever he went, he would cause conflict and chaos.

Dan was chaos.

It's a pity that she couldn't enter the Hokage building to witness it herself.

Twenty minutes later.

Dan arrived at the entrance of the Uchiha clan area and immediately saw Shisui waiting there.

Shisui also wore a high-collar robe, replaced his bandages, and his eyes no longer bled. He carried a small sword on his back.

"Dan, thank you for giving me the opportunity to attend this meeting with you and the clan head."

Shisui sensed Dan's chakra and spoke as soon as the latter approached.

For Shisui, if he could witness the historical moment of the Uchiha giving up the Police Department and reconciling with the village at the meeting, then...

Even if he lost his eyes forever, he would be willing.

Perhaps.

The Kotoamatsukami technique should be sealed and should not appear in this world.

Letting Dan keep it was the best choice.

Thinking of this, Shisui showed a sincere smile.

"You're welcome." Dan raised his hand and patted Shisui's shoulder.

Then, the two stood separately and stopped talking.

Because they really didn't have much in common.

After a while.

The Uchiha clan head and Police Department captain—Fugaku, finally arrived.

Fugaku had always worn the black combat uniform and green vest of the Police Department since he became the captain. Today, however, he exceptionally wore the same Uchiha robe as Dan and Shisui.

Taking off the Police Department uniform to attend this meeting.

This action had already shown Fugaku's attitude.

"Dan, Shisui, let's go."

Fugaku glanced at the two and walked out of the Uchiha clan area's gate.

Dan and Shisui followed Fugaku, one on each side. The three quickly got on the main road, heading straight for the Hokage building.

It was a little past eight in the morning in the Leaf Village.

The morning light was bright, warming people's hearts.

The breakfast shops on both sides of the street were open for business. Amid the shopkeepers' calls, the smoke rose, and the hot food emitted an enticing aroma, attracting passing villagers, office workers, and ninja academy students.

At a glance, it was a thriving scene.

However, as the Uchiha trio approached from the other end of the street, the previously peaceful atmosphere quickly changed, and the noise on the street decreased significantly.
