Konoha: We, the Uchiha, are ready to give up!

and so.

Since everyone has already offended each other, it's just that we can't completely break off relations because we haven't dealt with the Uchiha and Hyuga yet.

under these circumstances.

He certainly had no interest in getting involved in Hiruzen Sarutobi's misfortunes.

He also hated the Uchiha clan.

But, same thing.

He won't easily make a move unless he can truly kill the Uchiha clan.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, of course, shared the same idea.

"Hiruzen, just admit it." Koharu Utatane said calmly, "Shikaku is right, this is an open conspiracy!"

Mitokado Yan also nodded.

After pondering for a long time, he finally said helplessly.

"Let's raise these Uchiha for now."

"Even if we want to deal with the Uchiha, we have to wait until the war is truly over."

"At this stage, let's not make a fuss."

"The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Sand Village could clash at any moment."

"Right now, our main focus should be on uniting everyone and giving Kumogakure and Sunagakure a good beating!"

"The real battle with the Uchiha will only begin after the war is completely over and the village is at peace!"

"Now, we need to be patient!"

Chapter 227 The Abnormality of the Three 'Old Friends' - Hiruzen Sarutobi Sensed Something Was Wrong!

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent.

He looked displeased.

Yes.

The real reason I called these three old friends over tonight was to resolve a problem.

Tolerate?

Doesn't he know?

Why do you need to spout this nonsense?

But there was nothing we could do!

Because he knew in his heart that what his three old friends said was right.

At least for now.

It's definitely not the time to fight the Uchiha!

The most crucial thing now is the war with Kumogakure and Sunagakure.

only.

What should I do to end the war completely?

He didn't know.

of course.

These were only minor reasons for his displeasure; what truly made him uncomfortable was the attitude of his three old friends.

Something is very wrong!

Even if you can't think of a solution, you shouldn't be so calm, right?

after all.

The Uchiha are a formidable enemy!

After learning that he had been tricked by the Uchiha, shouldn't he at least be filled with righteous indignation?

He didn't know why, but the unusual behavior of his three old friends gave him a very bad feeling.

Therefore, it is precisely because of 19.

He was too lazy to continue and simply waved them away.

Even if I stay any longer, there's not much point in it.

Danzo and the other two did not say anything more upon seeing this.

After exchanging a glance, they got up and left.

Yes.

Since the deed is already done, there's no point in thinking about anything else.

So, immediately afterwards.

The three of them left without exchanging many words on the way.

After all, we know each other too well, so there's no need to say too much about some things.

On the road.

They even saw Sarutobi Arashi in the pavilion from afar.

"What a pity," Koharu Utatane said calmly. "That Sarutobi Arashi is still a bit too stupid."

Mitokado Yan smiled coldly.

but.

He didn't say much, but the way he looked at Sarutobi Arashi was more like looking at a dead man.

Danzo looked on with disdain.

"Perhaps among ordinary ninjas, Sarutobi Arashi is considered to be quite intelligent."

"But, unfortunately."

"He still doesn't understand the horror of the power struggles at the top, and he doesn't understand Hiruzen Sarutobi as a person either."

"To dare to interfere in high-level power struggles with just a little bit of cleverness is a classic case of courting death!"

"Do you really think that joining forces with us will guarantee absolute safety?"

"What a joke!"

"Our true confidence doesn't come from our alliance, but from the ninja clans behind us and the trump cards we hold!"

"Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi knew the truth, he wouldn't dare to truly break ties with us before the Uchiha and Hyuga clans were destroyed."

"But what gives you, Sarutobi Arashi, the right to do so?"

"Relying on the Sarutobi clan behind you?"

"Don't you even use your brain? Is the Sarutobi clan really your own power?"

"Without Hiruzen Sarutobi's consent, who in the Sarutobi clan can you mobilize?"

"Hiruzen may not be able to kill us, but killing you wouldn't be difficult for him, would it?"

"As for genius?"

"Among all the ninja clans, there is no shortage of geniuses."

"Unless you can truly become powerful, a prematurely deceased genius is nothing."

"They don't even understand this basic principle, yet they dare to join forces with us so brazenly."

"Don't you even ask yourself if you're qualified?"

"You really think you're qualified to join forces with us? You're just a dispensable pawn!"

"What an idiot!"

Danzo's tone was icy.

He'd seen plenty of Sarutobi Arashi in his life.

Self-righteous, what an idiot!

Do you really think that just because you're the clan's number one prodigy, Hiruzen Sarutobi won't dare to lay a hand on you?

Haha, you're overthinking it!

A ruthless person like Hiruzen Sarutobi, unless you are his closest relative, don't expect him to take you seriously.

The Sarutobi clan was able to rise to prominence thanks to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

It wasn't Hiruzen Sarutobi's rise to power that was due to the Sarutobi clan!

Cause and effect cannot be reversed.
