Uchiha Fugaku was dressed in formal attire and knocked on the closed door in front of him solemnly.

"Knock knock!"

The heated discussion that could still be heard inside the door suddenly stopped. After a sound of tables and chairs, Uchiha Fugaku even heard someone chuckle inside the door.

Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed inside, and then an old and steady voice sounded.

"Is Chief Fugaku here? Please come in!"

Uchiha Fugaku was slightly startled, not expecting anyone to openly laugh in such a serious place as the Hokage's office.But with the permission of the Third Hokage, Fugaku didn't think much and pushed the door open with Yashiro Uchiha beside him.

"Lord Hokage!"

"Orochimaru-senpai, Sakumo-senpai, Tsunade-senpai!"

Uchiha Fugaku glanced around the room and gave a polite half salute to several people.

Although Uchiha Fugaku is only 18 years old this year, as he is the current leader of the Uchiha clan, his actions will not make people think that Fugaku's etiquette is lacking.

As for the two elders, Koharu Koharu and Mito Kadeni, who were sitting next to Hiruzen Sarutobi, with a corpse covered by a white cloth on the ground in front of them, Fugaku's aloofness from the Uchiha bloodline was undoubtedly revealed. .

His eyes just glanced over the two of them, and the time they stayed was not even as long as that of the unknown corpse.

The two advisory elders were obviously angry. They were aroused by Uchiha Fugaku's arrogant attitude. Their expressions suddenly changed and they were about to yell at him.

"Ok?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen grunted slightly, shocking the two guys who couldn't see the height of their eyes to the spot.

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude, the two elders had mixed feelings in their hearts, but they did not dare to openly challenge Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of so many people.

He could only look at Uchiha Fugaku hatefully and turned his head to the side.

"Fugaku is here!"

"sit down!"

He looked at Uchiha Fugaku with a smile and nodded to Uchiha Yashiro who was half a body behind him.

"The eighth generation elder is also sitting!"

Uchiha Yashiro unexpectedly glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen, his eyes flashed slightly, he nodded politely to him, and sat next to Orochimaru along with Fugaku.

"Junior has just been elected as the clan leader of Uchiha not long ago, so he doesn't know much about many things. The eighth generation elder has provided a lot of help and unique insights to this junior."

"So when Hokage-sama summoned him this time, I was afraid that I would be too young and might conflict with Hokage-sama with words, so I invited the Yatsura elders to meet with Hokage-sama."

"I hope Hokage-sama can forgive Fugaku for his recklessness!"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Uchiha Fugaku did not show any stage fright. He still sat upright and nodded slightly towards Sarutobi Hiruzen with a slight apology on his face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes wandered over the faces of Orochimaru and Uchiha Fugaku for a while, then he suddenly narrowed his eyes and laughed.

"It's not strange, it's not strange!"

"Chief Fugaku is young and promising, why would I punish him for such trivial matters?"

"There are also eight generations of elders..."

Seeing that the conversation suddenly turned to him, Uchiha Yashiro looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and met his gentle gaze.

"If I remember correctly, you and Orochimaru are the same age, right?"

Uchiha Yashiro's eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously glanced at Orochimaru, who was squinting and smiling next to him.

"Yes!"

"I didn't expect that Hokage-sama actually remembered my birthday. Yashiro is flattered!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head with a smile.

"As the Hokage, I will naturally pay special attention to every outstanding ninja in the village."

"As an elder who has become an assistant to the clan leader at a young age, the eighth generation of elders has a promising future!"

Yashiro Uchiha lowered his eyes slightly, unable to figure out what kind of medicine Sarutobi Hiruzen was selling in his gourd, so he had to be polite and humble.

"Master Hokage is absurd!"

"I'm just providing some trivial help to Lord Fugaku!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his gaze to Uchiha Fugaku and followed Yashiro's words and asked:

"Clan Chief Fugaku, didn't you know that the eighth generation elder serves in the police force now?"

Uchiha Fugaku was stunned and nodded slightly.

"nature!"

"The eighth generation elder is far superior to me in terms of strength and talent. He only holds the position of deputy captain in the police force. It's really a bit aggrieved!"

Uchiha Yashiro was moved and shook his head gently towards Fugaku.

"The patriarch made a strong statement!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the two of them, smiled and smoothed his short beard, and said with a look of amazement:

"Well……"

"What a coincidence!"

"This disciple of mine is not only the same age as the eighth elder, but he also holds the same position as the eighth elder."

"Orochimaru, you have become the vice-captain of this ANBU. You will have to move around more with the Yashiro elders in the future."

"So as not to weaken the friendship between your former classmates!"

Orochimaru nodded calmly.

"Listen to the teacher!"

Uchiha Fugaku and Yashiro looked at each other, and a guess came into their minds at the same time.

The Third Hokage wants to help Orochimaru rise to power!

"Ah!"

Uchiha Yashiro nodded calmly, but sneered in his heart.

"You just want to use a few words to get Orochimaru to get the support of my Uchiha clan by relying on a relationship that can't be reached with eight poles?"

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, you are really good at planning!"

Uchiha Fugaku looked more urbane. After showing Orochimaru a friendly smile, he brought the topic to business.

"As members of Konoha, being able to grow up with Orochimaru-senpai, the Yashiro elder must be willing in his heart."

"Senior Orochimaru is very powerful and is the direct disciple of Lord Hokage. He must be qualified for the job of captain of the ANBU."

"Juniors are here to congratulate seniors first!"

Uchiha Fugaku stood up and hugged Orochimaru's fists.

"Lord Hokage, the security team still has some things to deal with. If there is nothing else, I will go back with the Yashiro elder first."

After some exchanges, Fugaku not only learned that Orochimaru would take up the post of ANBU deputy captain, but also received information that Sarutobi Hiruzen might intend to push Orochimaru to the position.

"Convene a clan meeting after we return and discuss countermeasures with the clansmen!"

Uchiha Fugaku secretly made up his mind that no matter how the top management of Konoha changed, as long as he did not reach out to the Uchiha clan, everything would be fine.

otherwise……

Seeing that Uchiha Fugaku was about to leave in a hurry, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but sigh: Young people just can't keep calm!

"Chief Fugaku, wait!"

After calling out, Sarutobi Hiruzen gestured in the direction of Orochimaru, and then said:

"It's just that my disciple takes office as the deputy captain of the ANBU. There is no need to alert the Fugaku clan leader and the Yashiro elders to come over."

"This matter is just incidental, Orochimaru, it was your idea to invite the Fugaku clan leader over. The rest is up to you!"

"I'm a little tired!"

Orochimaru nodded knowingly, walked up to the corpse under the angry gazes of the two advisors, and gently lifted a corner of the white cloth.

"Fugaku-kun, the eighth elder, I heard that Kagami-senpai Uchiha was the strongest ninja of his generation among the nobles during his lifetime. I wonder if the nobles found Kagami-senpai's body after his death?"

When the two of them heard this, their expressions suddenly changed, and they all thought that the corpse whose head was covered by Orochimaru's body was the Uchiha mirror.

“Although it’s a bit hard to say, Senior Jing’s body has indeed not been recovered!”

"Senior Orochimaru, suddenly mentioned this matter, could it be that this corpse..."

Uchiha Fugaku looked ugly. If he hadn't been recuperating as the clan leader, he might have rushed over and lifted up the white cloth to take a closer look.

"Oh……"

"This is not the body of Senior Jing."

With a smile in his eyes, Orochimaru pulled off the white cloth on the body, turned to look at the two Uchiha, and shook his head slightly.

"You two might as well come over and take a look. Maybe you can find some answers!"
