Chapter 101 Konoha Recall
"Captain Uchiha Kagami, the Hokage urgently summons you!"
On their way to Mount Katsuragi, Yang Xiang and his companions received a message from the Anbu and had to leave the group to return to Konoha immediately.
Fortunately, among the people traveling with him, Kouichi Uzumaki and others had already established a friendship with Hashirama Tsuchigumo, and they could help coordinate things later.
"Master Kagami, has something happened in the village?" Kurama Murakumo asked in confusion.
Uchiha Kagami simply shook his head and increased his speed without saying a word.
He had some suspicions about what was going on, but he didn't expect the Dark Division to arrive so quickly.
The reason for asking them to return must be related to the Uzumaki clan.
But if the village was able to receive news from the Land of Whirlpools so quickly, why didn't any rescue forces arrive?
This puzzled him.
"Ready, Yang Xiang."
Upon hearing Uchiha Kagami's words, Yang Xiang nodded in understanding.
From the moment he conceived the idea of relocating the Uzumaki clan, he knew this was inevitable.
This matter is a sensitive one for the current Konoha leadership.
After all, this was a surrender that had absolutely nothing to do with the Hokage faction.
Before this, the Tsuchigumo clan at least had the guise of Uchiha aid transactions.
Moreover, they belong to the powerful ninja clan, the Uzumaki.
Of course, he wasn't too worried about it.
Because Hiruzen Sarutobi is relatively easy to bully.
He likes to reason with people.
If you don't reason with him, he does have some martial arts skills.
So he shouldn't be the one in a hurry.
Therefore, the one who should be anxious right now is the Hokage.
Mitokado Yan was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing around in circles in the Hokage's office.
"This is outrageous! This is outrageous! How dare he do this!"
He has maintained this state for a long time since Danzo told him about the Land of Whirlpools.
He frequently glanced at Xiaochun, who was turning over to her room.
Woman! Say something!
They're so good at stirring up conflict normally, so why are they silent when it really matters?
Xiaochun turned to her room and kept her eyes tightly shut, not daring to open them even a little.
It's fine to let her ramble on, but at a time like this, she has to take responsibility for every word she says.
That won't do for her.
Danzo had no hope for his two teammates, and simply glanced indifferently at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
His men went to the Land of Whirlpools this time, intending to take advantage of the chaos.
However, Yang Xiang dealt with those useless people too quickly, and the personnel at the root had no choice but to withdraw.
Anyone who manages to bring the message back is considered fast.
Those who were too slow were already mistaken for ninja and killed on the spot.
"Hiruzen, what do you think?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was smoking his pipe furiously.
This tobacco, sourced from the land of rivers, is a rare and high-quality product in the ninja world.
But lately, he's been feeling increasingly unsatisfied. It's not right!
He was thinking of adding some spices like chili and mustard to enhance the flavor.
Otherwise, when he pulls it out, it won't hurt enough!
"The village of Uzushio was besieged, and then Yosho saved them. Uzumaki Ashina died, and Uzumaki Koichi took over as the clan leader. The entire clan moved to Mount Katsuragi."
"That's a good thing!"
Hearing his words, Mitokado was stunned.
Hiruzen, you are a true ninja.
How can you say such cold words when your mouth is burning hot from smoking a pipe every day?
Seeing their apparent disbelief, Hiruzen Sarutobi explained slowly, "Look, the Uzumaki clan and our Konoha are allies!"
"When an ally is in trouble, it's only natural for the ninjas of Konoha to go to their aid!"
"The ninja world is in chaos right now, and our allies want to seek refuge in our country temporarily. We should welcome them!"
"Besides, they didn't join Konoha; they just went to Mount Katsuragi. The Tsuchigumo clan didn't object, so why are you all so nervous?"
"Moreover, at this time, any increase in power would benefit the village."
Danzo stared directly into Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, trying to determine if the person in front of him was being sarcastic.
"Hiruzen, you should know the consequences of this matter."
"Of course I know."
"Then I object."
"I am the Hokage, Danzo. Your objection is invalid."
Danzo was so angry at Hiruzen Sarutobi's explanation that he laughed.
Two tigers cannot share one mountain; when power struggles arise, the seeds of disaster are sown.
The Senju clan is now completely ignoring the Hokage and doing this, which is tantamount to creating division!
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, you're the Hokage, so why don't you say that to the Senju clan as well?"
"All you ever do is talk to me, showing off your power!"
"All you do is bully your own people, what kind of skill is that!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Danzo in disbelief.
How could you say that to me!
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu are troublemakers; they can't understand what I'm saying.
We're like the palm and the back of a hand, how can you look at me like that?
I'm doing all this for the village!
Their eyes met in the office.
Xiaochun, who was switching dorm rooms, secretly opened her eyes and glanced at the quiet office.
Are you done chatting? Can you leave work now?
"Lord Hokage, Uchiha Kagami's team has returned."
Just as the two were about to clash, a ninja from below knocked on the door.
When Yang Xiang and the others arrived at the Hokage's office, the four of them had already calmed down and were sitting together as usual.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said to them with a smile.
"But I still want to know what's going on with the Uzumaki clan."
Despite their heated argument, there was one thing he and Danzo shared the same opinion on.
That means Yang Xiang must be suppressed.
It's not about personal opinions, but rather the division of power that marks the beginning of internal strife.
This is something Hiruzen Sarutobi cannot tolerate.
When war is imminent, everyone must unite.
Yang Xiang's growth may be unstoppable, but it won't be until after the fourth generation that he can have the final say.
just now.
This leaf.
They still have to be surnamed Sarutobi!
Faced with the Third Hokage's questioning, Uchiha Kagami had already prepared his answer, but before he could speak, Yang Xiang stopped him.
"Lord Hokage, the Uzumaki clan, as distant relatives of the Senju, have come to seek refuge with our clan, and I have already accepted them."
Danzo slammed his fist on the table.
"How dare you!"
Xiaochun, who had just switched dorm rooms, opened her eyes and glared angrily.
"What kind of attitude is that?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent.
The pipe in his hand trembled slightly.
Faced with this situation, he couldn't help but say: I don't understand (in Fenghua accent)!
He couldn't figure it out.
Why did Yang Xiang suddenly speak to me in this tone?
This child used to be quite respectful to me, how did he become like this?
He glanced at Danzo beside him.
I remember the last time I was this rude was to Danzo.
broken!
I'm going to become like Danzo.
Compared to the matter of the Uzumaki clan.
It seems this matter is more serious.
Danzo pointed at Yang Xiang with his one intact hand.
"Who gave you permission to do this? Who gave you the authority!"
"Are you trying to rebel?!"
