Chapter 358: The end
Chapter 358: The end
This ninja was obviously not strong, but he was too much and ruined my youth. After this operation, many people understood that Uchiha was no longer marginalized, but was greatly valued by the village.
Although they were not very clear about the turning point of this matter, many people thought of the shocking civil war that day.
Was it because of the powerful strength and value that the village had changed?
Many people guessed part of the reason.
But no matter what was said, under the attitude of the village, Uchiha's rise was unstoppable.
Thus, many small clans sent people to send congratulatory gifts, claiming that they would communicate with each other on a daily basis.
Although at the beginning, Uchiha's clansmen were still unaccustomed to this change, they didn't take it seriously later on.
With Clan Head Itachi handling all of this, how could they have the right to worry?
Moreover, Clan Head Itachi had warned them more than once to restrain their temper and not stir up trouble. Once they violated it, they would be severely punished!
No one wanted to be glared at by Clan Head Itachi, Mangekyou Sharingan. It was said that the previous unruly prick had been unconscious for three days and three nights before waking up. The first thing he did after waking up was to admit his mistake.
No one knew what this guy had experienced, so much so that every time he saw Clan Head Itachi appear, he couldn't help but shiver.
This lesson made everyone's hearts tremble!
The first time was like this, and the next time, Susanoo might slap his face.
He couldn't afford to offend, he couldn't afford to offend!
Just like this, another half month later...
In the meeting room of the Hokage Building, another meeting was held.
The people attending were the Hokage, Sarutobi, Hiruzen, the two high-level consultants, Homura and Koharu, as well as Uchiha Fugaku, and Hyuga Hizashi!
"What is the meeting today about?" Koharu asked with a pale face. Ever since she was admitted to Itachi's Tsukuyomi, her mental state had been getting worse day by day, and she even had nightmares every night, dreaming that she had been killed and woken up.
If it was said that she had only hated Uchiha Clan before, then now it had risen to hatred.
Homura had a good relationship with Koharu, so naturally, he did not treat Fugaku well because of this matter.
There was a flash of pity in Sarutobi's eyes, but he still sighed and handed the document that he had just arrived yesterday to Koharu.
"This is a letter of appointment signed by the great name. From today on, you can remove your position as consultants."
Opening the document and looking at it, Koharu's face immediately paled even more, then turned from white to black, and from black to red.
This face-changing performance was really amazing, at least level 9!
"I don't believe it!"
With a bang, Homura slammed the table and stood up.
After turning to Homura, Koharu also looked at Sarutobi coldly, "Hokage, I think we need an explanation. You are not qualified to dismiss us."
Since he had already done it, Sarutobi naturally would not retreat. So he nodded and said, "Indeed, even as the Hokage, I can't directly dismiss your duties, but I have obtained the approval of your great name on the grounds of your old age and weak. I hereby approve of you to live a happy life."
"Sarutobi Hiruzen! What do you want to do? Do you not even care about your old friendship?"
"It is because of our old friendship that I gave you a way to leave. I will tell the outside world that you have to remove the heavy responsibility because of your body. The facts prove that your vision and decisions are not suitable for Konoha."
"You!"
Homura was flustered and exasperated. He turned around to stop him and said coldly, "Hiruzen, don't forget that you are about the same age as us. How did you get rid of us today? One day, someone will use the same method to kick you out like trash!"
This could be considered as completely tearing off all pretenses.
However, Sarutobi did not seem to care at all. His face was very relaxed as he said, "An old man like me is no longer suitable to sit in the position of Hokage. And don't forget, after Minato died, I have always been acting as the Hokage. When the right person appears, I will naturally pass on the position of Hokage."
"The biggest difference between me and you is that I have no greed for power, and I have long been blinded by the power in my hands. Don't think that I don't know what you are doing in the dark after Minato ascended to the throne."
"In the past, I didn't say that I gave you face because of the friendship of the past, but now I have fallen into a physical end. You have to be grateful. I don't want to have no old friends who can drink tea with me after retirement."
Homura and Koharu immediately fell silent, and their expressions became extremely ugly.
It was not only because Sarutobi had poked their sore spot, but also because Sarutobi's last sentence was a real threat.
If they dared to speak outside after leaving this place, or did something that sold out the interests of the village, Anbu's people would send them to see Danzo immediately.
The two of them could not even give up their rights, so they naturally would not give up their lives.
"If you win, we know what to say and what not to say. After working hard for a lifetime, it is indeed time to rest."
"Don't worry, the village will satisfy all your needs after retirement." Sarutobi nodded in agreement.
With a gloomy face, Homura turned to Koharu directly pushed open the door and left.
They thought that they had worked hard for Konoha without merit. This was the truth, but there was another sentence that was called "virtuous people live in the house".
Others would only do better than them, so why did they have to stay in this position and not retire? Wasn't it good to go home and retire?
It was only when the two of them bid farewell and left the stage that Sarutobi sighed extremely tiredly.
Fugaku and Hizashi, on the other hand, remained silent throughout the entire process.
Although this matter was related to them, there was no need to speak too much and provoke others. When it was time to keep a low profile, they had to keep a low profile.
"I hope you won't make this mistake again."
Fugaku and Hizashi nodded solemnly.
"Although I have agreed to let the two of you be Konoha's high-level consultants, but for your starting point, every decision you make, and every suggestion you make must put the village's interests first!"
"If the interests of the village and the interests of your families have a conflict, you must consider it from the standpoint of the village."
"If you can't do it, it's not too late to leave now. Otherwise, I can guarantee that you won't have a good end in this position!"
"You can treat my words as a warning or a threat."
"I will do what I say!"
Fugaku and Hizashi couldn't help but look at each other, then nodded seriously, "Yes, Hokage-sama!"
