Konoha: Change from Uchiha

A few minutes later, Sarutobi Hiruzen met with the aggressive Kumogakure envoy, who made two demands.

The first was to hand over the body of the leader of Kumogakure, and the second was to demand the death of the Konoha ninja who killed the leader. Based on the information they obtained, they speculated that the leader of the mission was killed by the Konoha jounin.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood there, staring at the Kumogakure envoy.

Seeing the performance of the Kumogakure envoy, he still understood that this was not a simple accident, but a conspiracy by Kumogakure's party against Hinata and Konoha Hidden Village. He was certain that Konoha could no longer bear another war.

What if the ninja who chased and killed Kumogakure's leader was not Asuma, but a Hyūjōnin.

I'm afraid that the Kumogakure mission's request at the moment is to hand over the body of the Hyuugakure ninja. They have really made a good calculation. If they succeed, they can get the Byakugan. If they fail, they can also use it to intimidate Konoha Hidden Village. On the left and right Profitable situation.

The only thing they didn't calculate was that Hyuga Hinata stayed with Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, and was always followed by ANBU ninjas. Asuma was also accidentally involved in this incident.

Make events that may have been unclear suddenly become transparent.

Judging from this incident alone, the village and Asuma who killed the leader of Kumokakure were not wrong. The leader of Kumokakure not only attacked Hyuga Hinata and Uchiha Sasuke, but even intended to get involved with the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki.

This undoubtedly touched the fundamental bottom line of Konoha Hidden Village, but he could not speak like this.

The fact that Naruto is the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki is still a secret in the village. Once exposed, the risk of being assassinated will increase exponentially.

But if they can't rely on this matter to counterattack, they can only face the threat of war spoken by the Kumogakure mission. This is also the reason for their arrogant attitude, and they are sure that the village can no longer withstand a large-scale war.

Maybe their ultimate threat is just a threat, but as Hokage, I can't gamble.

Even if Kumogakure's side is defeated, the most they can do is shrink their minions, and they can continue to accumulate strength by relying on their geographical advantage.

Once Konoha shows its decline, it will be torn apart by several major ninja villages that smell the smell of blood around it, and will never have the capital to turn around.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in his heart. What worried him even more was Asuma's matter. Last night, too many ninjas knew that Asuma killed the leader of Kumogakure, and Asuma himself did not deny it. I plan to admit it openly.

Although killing the ninja from another country who attacked the ninja children of this village is a glorious deed that does not need to be hidden.

However, such behavior also lost the opportunity to hide the truth. It was obvious that a prisoner could be found to replace the crime of killing the leader of the envoy, calm the anger of the envoy, and continue to sign the peace agreement.

Now Asuma is more like a child who is trying to prove his innocence and doesn't think he is at fault and is angry with him.

Many times, there is no point in arguing about right and wrong. The leader of Kumogakure died in the village and at the hands of Konoha ninjas. This cannot be changed.

The village could not tell that Naruto was the Jinchūriki and could not bear the consequences of the war continuing.

In a situation where the ninjas in the village generally want peace, whoever opposes the arrival of peace is the public enemy of the ninjas in the village.

After suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Sarutobi Hiruzen said to the Kumogakure envoy: "I will give you a satisfactory answer as soon as possible. You can go back and rest first."

"That's good, we Kumogakure also love peace and don't want to see the outbreak of war."

After speaking harshly, Envoy Kumogakure walked out of the Hokage Building with a satisfied smile on his face. The plan was being implemented smoothly as planned by the leader.

However, at this moment, a large number of ninjas came from the corner of the street, blocking the steps of the Kumogakure envoy.

Looking at the menacing ninja, envoy Kumogakure's face darkened, he turned to look at the Hokage building behind him, and asked: "Is this the Hokage-sama's way of hospitality?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was just about to return to the office, quickly looked out the window and frowned.

The composition of the troops surrounding the mission was complex, including members of the security force and Jōnin of the Hyuga clan. If his son Asuma hadn't been among them, he would have even suspected that this was a long-planned coup.

The Kumogakure envoy was also worried about this. Coups within the Ninja Village were not uncommon in the Ninja World.

Decades ago, Kumogakure also encountered a coup by the factions belonging to Golden Horn and Silver Horn, which directly led to the death of the second-generation Raikage and Hokage. If Naruto hadn't finally killed Golden Horn and Silver Horn, Kumogakure might still be in the same situation today. Amid civil strife.

According to their intelligence channels, the situation of the Uchiha clan is very similar to that of Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

They are not afraid of death, but they don't want to die in Konoha's internal struggle.

As the guard captain, Uchiha Fugaku took a step forward and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Several envoys, based on the reports of the victimized villagers, we suspect that the attack on the ninja clan last night was related to the leader of your envoy. I would like to ask you to please Don’t shy away, come forward and accept the investigation by the security forces.”

The Kumogakure envoys looked at each other and saw that the Uchiha in front of them was not here to force a coup, but was simply here to investigate the case.

Thinking of this, the expression of the Jonin of Kumogakure's envoy changed and he said: "I'm sorry, but it is impossible for our leader to meet you because he has been killed by you Konoha ninjas."

"Because you were afraid of taking responsibility, you committed suicide in fear of crime?"

Fugaku narrowed his eyes and analyzed carefully, and soon a guard ninja behind him recorded this clue with a pen.

Kumogakure's face changed slightly, then he glanced at the Hokage Building behind him and said:

"Stop talking nonsense. The leader died in the hands of you Konoha ninjas. You know this and deliberately break the rules. It seems that you Konoha have no sincerity in talking at all..."

"I'm curious, why are you so sure that your leader is dead? Is his death also part of your plan?" Junquge

Fugaku ignored the threat from the Kumogakure jounin and speculated as he said, "Is it possible that your leader just faked his death and is actually still hiding in the station? Otherwise, his whereabouts should still be unknown."

"The boss died in your Ninja Village. You can make up whatever you want, but the boss happened in Konoha. You Konoha must give us an explanation, otherwise Kumogakure will not let it go."

After breaking their skin, Kumogakure Jounin walked to the other end of the street with a pale face, and the other members followed suit.

Looking at the backs of the Kumogakure delegation, Fugaku did not stop them, but continued to walk towards the Hokage Building with the ninjas.

Although Sasuke didn't say it clearly last night, he hinted that he wanted the clan to intervene in this incident, and in this incident, Uchiha did not need to plan any conspiracy. As long as he continued to follow the normal process, he would be able to obtain considerable benefits.

Since Sasuke deliberately created this opportunity, he had no reason not to seize it.
