Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 102: Konoha's Spring (Part )

After the petrified Obito shattered into pieces on the ground, Kakashi, who had only dared to bring his men closer after seeing the noise subside, finally arrived.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Uchiha Doukou standing proudly in the center of the battlefield.

"How is it?" Kakashi came behind Uchiha Douguang and asked.

"The mastermind behind the Nine-Tails Rebellion and the villain who assassinated the Fourth Hokage has been killed." Uchiha Douguang said, looking back at the people who had rushed over.

As soon as the words fell, the people who had rushed over suddenly burst into warm cheers.

Although everything tonight had some twists and turns, until this moment, they can finally announce that their plan was a complete success.

Amid the cheers, Kakashi looked at the rocks in front of Uchiha Douguang that had shattered into pieces on the ground, his eyes filled with thought.

After the cheers behind him subsided a little, Uchiha Douguang turned to look at everyone: "Let's go back, we still have finishing work to do tonight."

"Yes!"

"Let's go." Uchiha Douguang patted Kakashi's shoulder, "Let's go. Tell Xuanjian and the others later that they have worked hard to send the border troops back. You go back with us first. As for the transfer order to transfer you back to the village, we will make it tomorrow."

"Okay." Kakashi nodded, took another look at the fragments of the stone statue on the ground, and followed Uchiha Douguang's footsteps.

In the Hokage's office, after receiving the signal, Uchiha Fugaku slowly stood up and said coldly to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Sandaime-sama, thank you for your hard work in the Hokage building these days. As for your safety, the Security Department is fully responsible."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not reply. The initiative was no longer in his hands. What he should consider now was whether he should offer something in exchange for a decent retirement from Uchiha Touma. After the masked man appeared and attacked the people from the Security Department, he was already in a mess - it was shit at least. The pot of the Nine-Tails Rebellion six years ago was already hanging over his head, but the person who took the blame for him was no longer there.

On the way back to the Security Department, Uchiha Douguang also learned about the ending of Uchiha Itachi.

"Chief Dou Guang, what do you think we should do about Itachi?" At this moment, Uchiha Tsuru, the elder in charge of coordinating the sacrifices in the clan, came to Uchiha Dou Guang and asked.

Most of the deceased Uchiha clan members would be buried in the family's exclusive cemetery after their Sharingan was removed, and the Sharingan would be enshrined in the family's shrine. The case of Uchiha Obito being buried in the village cemetery was an exception, but now Uchiha Itachi's situation was special, and the decision had to be made by the clan leader Uchiha Tokou.

After hearing the news, Uchiha Douguang shook his head regretfully. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's bury him in the family cemetery. However, let's keep the funeral simple."

"I understand." Uchiha He nodded.

……

Jiraiya, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Akimichi Choza were politely invited into the new prison by the Minamiga River by Uchiha Inabi and others.

When the group passed by the cell where the two consultants were imprisoned, Utane Koharu and Mitomon En looked at the scene in disbelief.

"Jiraiya? Shikaku? Even you have been caught?" Mito Kado En shouted in disbelief through the iron bars.

"Has Uchiha Tokou rebelled?" Utane Koharu also asked while knocking on the iron bars.

Jiraiya was in a state of seclusion at the moment and had no mood to reply, while Nara Shikaku and the other two were tactful enough to pretend not to see what was happening.

Uchiha Inahiro frowned and glanced at the two men's cells. He said coldly, "It seems that the two former consultants are in high spirits tonight. Do you have more evidence to confess? Come here! Serve the two former consultants well!"

……

After Uchiha Douguang arrived at the Nanhechuan Hotel and entered the interrogation area, he heard the screams of these two consultants.

Uchiha Douguang scratched his ears and frowned. A captain of the security department behind him immediately left the team. Within two minutes, as the mouths of the two consultants under trial were blocked, the screams stopped abruptly.

Uchiha Tokou and Kakashi first entered the room where Nara Shikaku and the other two were imprisoned.

Considering that they had saved Kakashi once before, the security department did not make things difficult for the three of them. After sending them into the room, they were soon served tea.

After seeing Uchiha Tokou and Kakashi walk into the room, Nara Shikaku and the other two also adjusted their expressions.

"Assistant Nara, thank you for your help earlier." Kakashi nodded to Nara Shikaku. "We are all comrades from the same village, it's only natural." Nara Shikaku said.

At this time, Uchiha Douguang chuckled and sat in front of the three people, saying, "You three made contributions in the battle against the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails Rebellion tonight, but it is also an indisputable fact that you and your clansmen openly defied the village's martial law order."

"So, how does Captain Dou Guang plan to deal with this matter?" asked Nara Shikaku.

"We'll discuss this later. However, Nara Fu can you please answer a question for me first?" Uchiha Douguang said, "Nara Fu is a smart man. He should be able to see that I am not a wise leader. So why did the three of you still want to bring your clansmen into this matter?"

"The kindness of our ancestors must be repaid," said Nara Shikaku.

"I understand." Uchiha Douguang nodded.

"Captain Dou Guang, please tell us how you plan to deal with the three of us." Yamanaka Inoichi said at this time.

"In that case, I won't hide it anymore." Uchiha Douguang said, "How the Security Department will deal with you three depends on your choice."

"Captain Dou Guang, please speak." Nara Shikaku said.

"The three clan leaders received intelligence today that the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails Rebellion was planning to invade the village tonight, so they planned to bring their clansmen to help. For the sake of confidentiality, they did not notify the security department in advance, so there was a little misunderstanding. However, the village rules are the rules. After the merits and demerits are offset, Assistant Nara will be demoted two ranks and return to the Jonin squad as the captain. Clan leaders Haiyi and Choza will be demoted one rank each." Uchiha Douguang said.

"Captain Dou Guang, I remember that there seems to be no rule of offsetting merits and demerits in the village." Nara Shikaku said. Although the first way given by Uchiha Dou Guang seemed to be easy, Nara Shikaku understood that if he agreed, then the three of them would almost have to stay in their demoted positions until retirement, and there would not be many channels for advancement for the members of their three clans in the future. After Uchiha Dou Guang came to power, the group of people under him were still waiting for a share of the cake, so there was no place for them at the table.

The reason why the Ino, Deer, and Chou clans have been able to achieve their current development is due to the trust and support of the Hokage. After completely fading out of the core circle of the village, the future of these three clans is destined to decline.

Therefore, Nara Shikaku wanted to hear the other way given by Uchiha Douguang.

"Isn't there a rule in the village that merits and demerits cannot be offset?" Uchiha Douguang nodded, "Then I was inconsiderate."

"Then, the three clan leaders took the lead in violating the village's martial law order. According to the law, they should be treated as rioters. Although their actions did not cause particularly serious consequences, they must also resign and retire from the village's ninja ranks. Only in this way can they give the village an explanation, right?"

"Clan leader Douguang, I understand. Tomorrow, the three of us will resign," Nara Shikaku said. "Now that we've finished discussing the past, shouldn't we talk about the future?"

"Your achievement is saving Kakashi, it has nothing to do with me." Uchiha Douguang smiled and shook his head, looking at Kakashi.

At this time, Kakashi looked at the three of them and said, "I heard that every generation of Ino-Shika-Cho has an earring oath when they form a team. I wonder if I have the honor to be a witness to this ceremony?"

Hearing this, Nara Shikaku finally smiled. Although the Ino, Deer, and Chou clans would inevitably be compressed after the three of them retired, they had gained promises for the future.

……

After Uchiha Tokou and Kakashi left Nara Shikaku and the other two, they went to Jiraiya again.

The room was still the same as last time, but Jiraiya's mentality at this moment was completely different from the last time he came here.

The two walked into the room one after the other, and Uchiha Douguang took action to remove the seal on Jiraiya.

"Lord Jiraiya, please bring Naruto back. He has to go to school tomorrow." Kakashi said.

Jiraiya looked up at the two of them with lifeless eyes, and without saying a word, he made a hand seal and summoned a toad from Mount Myoboku. After learning of Jiraiya's request, the communication frog also returned to Mount Myoboku.

Soon, the communication frog brought back Naruto who was already asleep.

"Lord Jiraiya, I don't think you are in the mood to talk to us right now. Why don't you stay here for a while? You are familiar with the place anyway." Kakashi said.

Kakashi said, and left the room with Uchiha Douguang.

Uchiha Douguang looked at Naruto who was carried by Kakashi and said, "Send this kid home first, and then come to the Hokage Building. Let's finish the work as soon as possible so that we can go back and rest."
