Chapter 58 Showing Muscles

Some time ago, the rumors about Kakashi that spread in the village made them panic. After all, they were afraid that if it was Kakashi today, it would be their turn tomorrow. In addition, most of these Anbu had received favors from Kakashi, and more than half of them had been present at Kakashi's banquets before, so it was not surprising that they chose to stand idly by at this moment.

On the other side, after receiving the order, the Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi clans also urgently summoned the ninjas in the clan. However, before the ninjas of the three clans had time to walk on the streets of Konoha, a team of ninjas and a team of ninja dogs rushed to the clan's territories.

The team leaders Inuzuka Taniguchi and Aburame Shiwei looked at Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Akimichi Choza with a smile on their faces.

Nara Shikaku sighed slightly upon seeing this and asked, "I wonder what brings you two tribe members to the lands of the Pig, Deer, and Butterfly tribes?"

"That's a bit rude of you, Chief Nara. We are just here to visit, we don't have any other intentions." Inuzuka Jale said with a smile.

"Just coming to visit?" Yamanaka Inoichi frowned slightly as he looked at the other party's posture, even the ninja dog was fully armed.

"Of course," Inuzuka Jaw said, "but it seems we've come at a bad time. Where are the three clan leaders and their people going so late? Don't they know that the village is under martial law tonight?"

"Our three clans are following the orders of the Third Hokage to go to the village to maintain order. Please give us some convenience." Nara Shikaku said in a deep voice.

"But the order we received is to impose martial law tonight. Except for the security forces, anyone else who acts on the street without authorization will be treated as a rioter." Aburame Zhiwei said.

"When did Aburame and Inuzuka start obeying the orders of the Security Department?" Nara Shikaku frowned.

"It's not like our two clans are obeying the orders of the Security Department," Inuzuka Jaw said. "It's just that unlike you, Ino-Shika-Chou, our two clans have many young men holding important positions in the village. Now that our clan has finally produced two young men serving as captains in the Security Department, we, as clan leaders, naturally have to fully cooperate with them in their work. If we have offended you in any way, please forgive us, Chief Nara."

At this moment, in the chat channel that Yamanaka Inoichi had created using the family's secret technique, Akimichi Choza asked, "What should we do now, Shikaku? Should we take action?"

Nara Shikaku thought for a while before speaking in the chat channel: "No, they came at the right time. So, let's just stay here with them until this is over."

"But if that happens, it will be difficult to explain to the Third Hokage," said Yamanaka Inoichi.

"Having them here is enough for us to explain." Nara Shikaku said.

It is impossible to take action. Although in terms of strength, the Ino, Shika, and Chou clans have more jonin in total, and the three clans can cooperate with each other and have the blessing of combination skills, it should not be a problem to defeat the coalition forces of Inuzuka and Aburame. However, Nara Shikaku must take into account the Uchiha clan standing behind their two clans. Once a fight really breaks out, the feud will be really over. The Ino, Shika, and Chou clans will be forced to be tied to Sarutobi Hiruzen's chariot. Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen wins the next political confrontation, how long can he stay in power at his age?
What about the Fifth Hokage? According to Nara Shikaku's analysis, the only two people who could succeed the Third Hokage were Jiraiya and Tsunade. If Tsunade returned to the village and expressed her desire to take over, Nara Shikaku would have no hesitation in taking the gamble, but she would rather be in debt than return to the village. As for Jiraiya, Nara Shikaku simply wouldn't dare bet the fate of the clan on someone who, driven by a vague prophecy from his summoning beast, was searching the world for the Child of Prophecy.

Apart from the two of them, Kakashi is the only suitable successor. Although his strength is still insufficient, he is still young after all. But let's not talk about which side Kakashi is really on now. Even if Kakashi really stands on the side of the third generation, they can't take action. This time they, Ino-Shika-Chou, took action to stop the security department that stood up for him. Are they waiting to eat green garlic in the future?

Therefore, after some consideration, Nara Shikaku found that the best option at the moment was to fight with the Inuzuka and Aburame clans. In this way, he could not only give an explanation to the Third Hokage, but also get his three clans out of this matter.

Soon, the Sandaime in the Hokage's office discovered that the situation in the village had not been alleviated, so he had to use the telescope technique to check the situation.

However, after seeing the Anbu in disarray on the street and the standoff at the gate of the Ino, Shika, and Chou clans, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt disappointed. Although he had not originally expected the Anbu to do much in this matter, he had imagined that the people who could come forward to stop the Security Department should be from the Ino, Shika, and Chou clans. However, he had never expected that a team of fully armed Aburame and the coalition forces of the Inuzuka clan would appear at the gate of the Ino, Shika, and Chou clan.

He saw the manner in which the Inuzuka clan welcomed Uchiha Dohuan's visit that day, as well as the ceremony held by the Security Department to welcome the Inuzuka clan's police dogs. He knew that the Inuzuka clan had already sided with the Uchiha clan, but he did not expect that the Inuzuka clan would support the Uchiha clan with such a completely all-in attitude. In this group of people, except for the clan members who worked in the Security Department, all the members above the level of Chunin were present.

And the Aburame clan also got involved, which was something he had never expected.

By now, the Third Hokage had to admit that after Danzo's death, his control over the village had indeed decreased a lot.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked his pipe and looked at the last Anbu left in the Hokage's office: "Go mobilize the village's Jonin squad to support the Anbu."

"I understand." After the last Anbu left the Hokage's office, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En started chattering again, but at this moment Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't even want to listen to what they were saying.

Sarutobi Hiruzen understood that today's events were not only the Security Department taking advantage of the situation, but more of a show of strength by Uchiha Dohuan. Since the death of Danzo, in less than a month, Uchiha Dohuan had put together a complete set of cards that were enough to launch an armed rebellion. What made him even more panic was that Uchiha Dohuan had always acted within the rules. Even he, the Hokage, could not find any fault with him. He was completely different from the previous patriarchs of the Uchiha clan who succeeded Uchiha Madara's death.

The only good news for the Sandaime was that Uchiha Dohuan was restrained enough and did not let things develop to a point where they were completely out of control.

 There will be an update this morning, don't worry.

  In addition, the author reminds everyone based on personal experience that if you need to travel long distances, you should not consider buying a pure electric car. Pure electric cars are fun to drive in urban areas, but driving long distances, especially long distances during the Spring Festival travel rush, is pure torture for yourself.
