At this time, outside the gate of Konoha, a large number of Konoha villagers spontaneously lined up in two rows and stood on both sides of the road.

Holding flowers in their hands, they looked towards the end of the road with excitement.

They looked on anxiously, waiting for the return of the main force.

Suddenly, cheers broke out from the front of the team.

"Here they come, they're back!"

"I saw it. The Sandaime-sama Hokage and Uchiha Akira were at the front of the army!"

"Master Ming looks so young. He looks even younger than the former Fourth-generation Master..."

...

Amid the falling flowers and cheers, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Akira appeared in the ranks of Konoha villagers with a large army.

After this period of treatment, Sarutobi Hiruzen's injuries have recovered a lot and his face is no longer so pale.

Seeing these people welcoming him, his face flushed, and he waved and nodded with every step he took.

Uchiha Ming was very calm. He smiled and nodded and waved from time to time.

In addition to Uchiha Akira and the Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Shisui and others who followed behind them also received screams.

Their performance on the battlefield was also known to the villagers of Konoha.

The welcoming ceremony lasted until noon, and at noon the enthusiastic Konoha villagers dispersed.

After returning to the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Ming and others were once again warmly welcomed by the Uchiha clan.

After finally dealing with it, Uchiha Ming finally returned home.

As night fell, the Hokage Building was brightly lit, and in the conference room on the third floor, Konoha's elite jonin gathered together for a post-war meeting.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen was seriously injured, he still insisted on presiding over the meeting.

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked in a deep voice: "Everyone, what do you think should be done with the captives from Kumogakure and Iwagakure?"

After this great battle, Kumogakure and Iwagakure captured a large number of prisoners, with the two villages together totaling more than a thousand people, and this was after the seriously wounded had been dealt with.

Moreover, there are many heavyweights among these captives, including the fourth Raikage of Kumogakure, Ai, and the son of Tsuchikage Ōnoki, Koto.

There are other high-ranking officials as well, and now Konoha's prison is almost full.

In response to Sarutobi Hiruzen's question, no one present spoke. At this moment, no one wanted to speak.

After this war, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Sarutobi Hiruzen would definitely abdicate soon.

The next Hokage must be Uchiha Akira.

If I speak up at this time and it doesn't agree with Uchiha Ming's opinion, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

Seeing that no one spoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not get angry. It would be better to say that he had anticipated the current situation.

He looked at Uchiha Ming and said, "Ming Jonin, what do you think we should do with these prisoners?"

"Let's torture them first. Get all the valuable things out of their brains, and then let Kumogakure and Iwagakure offer a price to redeem them." Uchiha Ming said calmly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slowly upon hearing this. Uchiha Ming's words were exactly the same as what Konoha had done before.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, then said in a deep voice: "That's it, let's adjourn first. Everyone has worked hard in the war, so take a good rest for a while."

After everyone left, only Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En were left in the conference room.

"Huruzen, are you okay? I heard that you were seriously injured on the battlefield this time." Mito Kado En looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with concern.

"I'm old and useless, and I was ambushed." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head helplessly.

"Is Uchiha Akiha really as powerful as the intelligence says?" Utane Koharu still hadn't given up hope completely, and asked the question that had been weighing on her mind just in case.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled bitterly and said, "He is even more powerful than what the intelligence said! On the battlefield of Kumogakure, he faced the four great masters, the Raikage, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, and Nagato, all by himself. If Nagato had not retreated in the end, I'm afraid he would have also died in his hands."

"Is it so powerful?" Utane Koharu was stunned, and the hope in her heart completely disappeared.

Nothing could be more convincing than the words of Sarutobi Hiruzen, an eyewitness at the scene.

"I even think he is stronger than Madara back then. Do you know how I felt when I saw two complete Susanoo bodies appear on the spot?" Sarutobi Hiruzen recalled the scene he had seen before, and his mouth is still dry.

Mito Kado En's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Stronger than Madara back then!?"

"At that time, Madara did not have such a superb eye technique and did not have a clone with the same abilities as the original body." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and sighed.

Mizuto Menen opened his mouth and thought carefully. The current Uchiha Ming does seem to be stronger than the original Uchiha Madara. Perhaps his chakra and physical fitness are a little worse, but his eye techniques are too invincible, which is enough to make up for the gap.

"Speaking of which, what's the story with the Uchiha girl who appeared at Iwagakure? The intelligence said that she was just a girl around fourteen years old. How could she be able to use the complete form of Susanoo at such a young age? Isn't this a bit scary!" Utane Koharu looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in confusion.

They didn't know anything about Uchiha Hikaru, so they could only ask Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Speaking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately gave a wry smile and said, "Speaking of which, this matter is a problem created by the Uchiha clan, the Senju clan, and our Sarutobi clan together."

"Huh? What's going on?" Mizuto Menyan asked in surprise.

"According to Uchiha Fugaku, the girl was from the Warring States Period. She was a biological weapon created by the Uchiha in order to win the battle against the Senju clan. Later, the Senju clan and our Yuan Fei clan sealed her up, so she is still alive today."

"The place where she was sealed was unknown to everyone, but I don't know why Akatsuki found out where she was sealed, so they unsealed her. From this experience, she must have hated Konoha immensely... So we suddenly have a great enemy..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said helplessly.

After listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's narration, both Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En felt their teeth aching. This was truly a sin.

If we had not chosen to seal it, nothing would be happening now.

Utane Koharu seemed to have completely given up, and said in self-destruction: "Forget it, forget it, let Uchiha Akira and the Uchiha clan deal with these things. Anyway, they have the final say on Konoha from now on."

As she spoke, she looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "Hiruzen, you should also make preparations early. If you can step down in a dignified manner, do so. Don't make the relationship too awkward."

"Koharu, you..." Mitomon En looked at Utane Koharu with dissatisfaction, and was very indignant about her attitude.

Utane Koharu glared at Mitomon En and said, "I am telling the truth. The situation is stronger than us now. We can only choose to accept the facts, right?"

"But, Xiaochun, don't forget what your teacher once said. The Uchiha clan has fundamental problems. How can we hand over Konoha to them? I don't deny the fighting ability of this clan, but I don't recognize their governance ability!" Mito Kado En said in a stiff voice.

"Men Yan, you should face the facts..."

The two of them started arguing with each other.
