Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 64 The dust has settled
After hearing what Uchiha Dohuan said, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally understood why Uchiha Shisui, who always loved peace, would stand on the side of the Security Department tonight and attack the ninjas from the same village.

At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen also understood that this matter really could not be delayed any longer. Once he planned to continue to conceal this matter, he was afraid that the Will of Fire that he had always used to win over young talents of the Uchiha clan like Shisui would completely collapse, and Shisui would completely become alienated from him.

Although Shisui's Mangekyō is in Uchiha Dohan's hands, the power of Susanoo that Shisui just displayed is not something that ordinary ninjas can contend with. Once Shisui completely sides with the family, the Uchiha clan will then have the combat power of two Kage-level ninjas.

On the contrary, if Shisui still believed in his Will of Fire, although there might have been a rift between Shisui and him, based on Sarutobi Hiruzen's understanding of Shisui, if the Uchiha rebelled, Shisui would probably take action to stop it. This is probably why Uchiha Dohuan has been restrained tonight.

After sorting out his thoughts, Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Dou Huan, this is not your fault. After all, no one could have predicted what would happen tonight."

"Now that things have come to this, there's no point in delaying any further. Let's officially launch an investigation into this matter," Sarutobi Hiruzen said. "However, this is a matter of great importance. I intend to have the Anbu and the Security Department work together on this matter. What are your thoughts on this, Dohwan?"

Although the investigation into the three clans' collusion with Orochimaru was already on the verge of being launched after Shisui learned about it, Sarutobi Hiruzen had learned from the last investigation into the Root and knew that this matter could not be entirely handed over to the Security Department.

The last time Uchiha Dohuan got power, it took him less than a month to develop his current power. If the power to investigate this case is completely handed over to Uchiha, Sarutobi Hiruzen dare not even imagine what will happen.

"It should be so." Uchiha Douhuan nodded. If he were in Sarutobi Hiruzen's position, it would be impossible for him to let the Security Department handle such a big thing alone. Therefore, he had already anticipated Sarutobi Hiruzen's reaction. His purpose was just to force Sarutobi Hiruzen to start an investigation into the matter.

Moreover, joint investigation is not completely without benefits. Although Uchiha Douhuan is unlikely to play the same tricks as before after the Anbu joins in, this also gives Uchiha Douhuan the opportunity to intervene in the Anbu. Naturally, Uchiha Douhuan has no objection to this.

After confirming everything, Uchiha Dohuan and Kakashi stood up and took their leave. Looking at their departing backs, Sarutobi Hiruzen lit his pipe again and looked at the night outside the window.

After a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply and had to admit that since Danzo's death, his control over the village had weakened a lot. At the same time, what happened today, especially the reactions of the Ino, Deer, and Chou clans, also made him realize that he might really be old.

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help sighing and took out a piece of letter from the table. He planned to write to Jiraiya again, but just after writing Jiraiya's name, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but sigh again. Of his three former disciples, in the end, the only person he could still rely on was Jiraiya, who had once given him the most headaches.

"I hope he comes back and can change everything." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

……

After Uchiha Douhuan and Kakashi walked out of the Hokage Building, they both left at an intersection.

"Where are we going?" Uchiha Douhuan asked, "I remember your house is not in this direction."

"Some old friends are still waiting for me. I have to go and tell them the result of this matter." Kakashi said.

"Are they the Fourth Hokage's former subordinates?" Uchiha Douhuan asked.

"Yeah." Kakashi nodded, not hiding anything.

"Well, come to think of it, if the Fourth Hokage were still around, the village wouldn't be what it is now." Uchiha Douhuan said with some regret, "Kakashi, let's take everyone to the Uchiha clan's territory tomorrow. I'm planning to hold a banquet or something. Tonight, these seniors who carry the Will of Fire have made great efforts, and our security department should be grateful for them."

"I understand." Kakashi nodded, said goodbye to Uchiha Douhuan, and rushed to the place where the previous conflict occurred alone.

"By the way, remember to bring that Wood Release guy with you tomorrow. The Security Department needs his help with something." After Kakashi left, Uchiha Douhuan suddenly remembered something and shouted in the direction Kakashi had left. ...

When Uchiha Douhuan returned to the security department, although it was already late, the entire security department was still brightly lit.

On the way back to the office, Uchiha Dohuan ran into several civilian team members who were walking towards the interrogation room with batons. The moment they saw Uchiha Dohuan, these civilian team members stood at attention and saluted loudly with their hands.

"Captain Doo-hwan! Chung! Cheng!"

After Uchiha Douhuan returned the greeting, he patted one of them on the shoulder, then reached out and flipped through his name tag and asked, "It's so late, aren't you going to get off work yet?"

"Report to Captain Doo-hwan, we are not tired, and the interrogation of the thugs has not yet ended. We plan to complete the interrogation tonight!" The team member named Taro Hasegawa replied energetically.

Uchiha Douhuan glanced at the other man's uniform pockets, which were bulging with red envelopes and ninjutsu, and said with a smile, "It's great that you have this spirit, but you still need to pay attention to the balance between work and rest. Hurry and get off work."

"Captain Doo Hwan! We are really not tired!" Hasegawa Taro said, are you kidding? Two months' salary plus ninjutsu, and then we just go off work. Would that be unfair to the guard team and Captain Doo Hwan?

In response, Uchiha Douhuan shook his head and said, "I really can't do anything about you. Go back to work. Tell my colleagues who are working overtime that they have worked hard today. I will find a way to get some midnight snacks for everyone later."

"Long live Captain Douhuan!" As soon as Uchiha Douhuan finished speaking, the surrounding security team members immediately cheered.

After finally escaping from the encirclement of the enthusiastic team members, Uchiha Dohuan returned to his office. Uchiha Shisui, who had completed his mission, seemed to have been waiting in the office for some time.

"How is it? Did the mission go well?" Uchiha Douhuan asked as he walked towards his office chair.

"Everyone on the list has been arrested without exception." said Uchiha Shisui.

"That's good." Uchiha Douhuan nodded, "I plan to leave the follow-up investigation of this matter to you."

"Me?" Uchiha Shisui was stunned when he heard that.

"That's right. I've reached a consensus with the Sandaime on this matter. The Security Department and the Anbu will jointly investigate. In a couple of days, once our new detention facility is built, the Anbu will come to assist. You've worked in the Anbu before, so if you step in, I think you'll be able to move the work forward."

"Understood." Shisui nodded, "Leave this matter to me."

"Shisui, don't let the family down again." Before Uchiha Shisui left, Uchiha Dohuan reminded him.

　On the second day of the Lunar New Year, here is an update. I wish everyone a happy new year.

　　I'm on vacation at home, and I hope everyone can read it every day. This is really important to me. Thank you all.
