Immediately someone else chimed in.

"Ninjas naturally have the ability to turn you into a member of the Hyuga clan. I wonder if you dare to be the one to sacrifice yourself. In this war, even more people from Kumogakure died. Are you willing to sacrifice your own life to quell their anger?"

Chapter 113 Seizing the Two-Tails Jinchuriki

The passerby who raised the objection changed his expression. What the other party said was right. It was indeed possible for the ninja to turn him into a member of the Hyuga clan, but how could he possibly be willing to sacrifice his own life?

He quickly retorted.

"This has nothing to do with me, why should my life be sacrificed?"

Immediately, someone mocked him.

"If it has nothing to do with your life, then what does it have to do with that innocent Hyuga clan member? Is your life the only one that matters, while other people's lives don't?"

"When it comes to sacrificing other people's lives, you are righteous and awe-inspiring, but when it comes to your turn, you cower and shrink back. You are shameless."

The people around immediately started jeering, all looking down on this person who dared to raise objections.

The passerby who raised the objection, seeing that everyone around him was criticizing him, immediately slunk away.

One of his mouths can't compete with so many mouths.

At the same time, the members of the Ino-Shika-Cho clan also received the same news, and the patriarchs of the three clans gathered together for this purpose.

"The head of the Akimichi clan, Akimichi Choza, said with a joyful expression."

"I never expected that this great battle against Kumogakure would be such a resounding victory."

"This is really great news!"

The fact that Konoha Village and Kumogakure were locked in a stalemate at the border for so long is enough to demonstrate Kumogakure's strength.

However, even such a powerful village as Kumogakure had so many ninja captured by the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, which is enough to demonstrate the strength of these two clans.

Moreover, they let them go, demonstrating Konoha's benevolence.

It's likely that the Hidden Cloud Village won't dare to attack the Hidden Leaf Village again for the next few decades. These two clans have brought peace to the village, which is truly admirable.

Yamanaka Inoichi, the head of the Yamanaka clan, said with admiration.

"They are truly powerful; they can achieve victory without our intervention."

Nara Shikaku, the smartest among them, remained completely calm.

He wasn't particularly happy; in fact, he even doubted whether this was really a good thing.

They defeated the powerful Hidden Cloud Village without the village's help; the strength of these two clans is too great.

With such formidable strength, the higher-ups will probably be even more wary of them.

Given the Uchiha clan's arrogant nature, it's a bit unrealistic for the higher-ups to think they can tame this beast.

Hopefully, this won't escalate into a large-scale conflict, otherwise it would be even more detrimental to the village, and internal strife would have far more serious consequences.

At this moment, Akimichi Choza saw that Nara Shikaku had a calm expression and no joy on his face, so he asked.

"Lu Jiu, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Lu Jiu said with a smile.

"how come?"

"Come, let's drink and celebrate the peace of Konoha Village and the Land of Fire."

All three of them raised their glasses and clinked them together before drinking.

Choza Akimichi isn't very good at thinking things through, but that's precisely his strength—he doesn't worry or fret too much.

Yamanaka Inoichi noticed Shikaku's worries but didn't say anything. Their three clans supported the Third Hokage.

The Uchiha clan being too strong is not necessarily a good thing for the three clans.

However, Konoha Village has endured the Shinobi World War for too long; the Third Shinobi World War has already lasted for many years.

Having suffered such a crushing defeat, it's unlikely that Kumogakure will ever launch an attack on Konoha.

Although they don't get along well with the Uchiha clan, this time the other side did a really good job.

Despite their participation in the battle, their three clans did not suffer any losses.

Kakashi, an Anbu member who had also received news of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans' victory and return to their village, immediately went to the Hokage Building and relayed the information to the Third Hokage in the Hokage's office.

The allied forces of the two clans decisively defeated the ninjas of Kumogakure and captured a large number of them before finally releasing them.

Upon hearing this news, the Third Hokage's face immediately froze, and he was utterly bewildered, unable to help but ask.

"is this real?"

With the fighting force mobilized by Kumogakure, how could it possibly be defeated by just two major clans?

The ninja village is a combined force of many clans, and it also has a large number of civilian ninjas.

Even if these two clans are strong, they could never be that strong, and they even captured so many Cloud Village ninjas. Isn't that a joke?

Even if he were the strongest Third Hokage, he couldn't have done it; he could guarantee that.

He has a fairly clear understanding of his own abilities.

Kakashi heard the Third Hokage's words and knew that the other party did not believe him, but he still found traces that suggested he might believe them.

Report this immediately.

"Among the returning Hyuga and Uchiha clan members, I found the captured Two-Tails Jinchuriki and the Fourth Raikage's secretary, Azabui."

"These two are important figures from Kumogakure. They were captured and tied up. I think this story is probably true."

The Two-Tails Jinchuriki is known as the perfect Jinchuriki, intimidating other villages and possessing a high level of fame.

Mabui was also the Fourth Raikage's secretary, and an important figure. The Anbu also had portraits of them.

The Third Hokage was somewhat at a loss for words upon hearing this.

"You can leave now, I understand."

Kakashi obeyed the order and left immediately.

After Kakashi left, the Third Hokage's expression suddenly changed, becoming distorted as he roared.

"How is that possible? If they really captured the Two-Tails Jinchuriki and the Fourth Raikage's secretary, the Tailed Beasts are weapons used in war, possessing terrifying combat power."

"How could the Uchiha clan possibly defeat Kumogakure?"

Could it be that the Sharingan controlled the Tailed Beasts, rendering their weapons ineffective and thus securing victory?

However, he had already asked Shisui about whether the Sharingan could control the Tailed Beasts, and even Shisui's eye power was unable to control the Tailed Beasts.

Therefore, he was certain that the Nine-Tails' attack was not caused by the Uchiha clan.

But it's just suspicion. Could it be that Shisui betrayed him and lied to him?

This matter must be thoroughly investigated. How exactly did the Uchiha clan defeat the Hidden Cloud Village, and even how did they capture the Two-Tails Jinchuriki? This must be found out.

Otherwise, he would be in danger as Hokage.

While he might not be killed, his position could be threatened.

This matter must be the top priority; even my son's affairs must be put aside.

At this time, Danzo of Root also received the report, his face contorted with rage. The despicable Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan's allied forces had actually defeated the ninja army of Kumogakure.

Even now, the villagers believe that the Uchiha and Hyuga clans brought peace to the village.

He found it ridiculous that the villagers had such thoughts.

The Uchiha clan is the greatest misfortune of the village; this is the result of his teacher, the Second Hokage's, research.

This group of people are too stubborn; they easily fall into darkness when they encounter even the slightest setback.

The future will definitely destroy the peace of the village.

With such fighting power, he will not only bring disaster to the village in the future, but also block his path to becoming Hokage.

He knew that the Uchiha clan wanted to seize the Hokage position, which is why he desperately suppressed them after the Nine-Tails' attack.

It's all because of that coward Hiruzen Sarutobi who didn't seize the opportunity to unite with other forces in the village and wipe out the Uchiha clan, which led to this disaster.

He could sense the changes in the Uchiha clan over the past few months, as if they were gradually growing stronger from weak beasts.

He also received a report that the other side had captured the Two-Tails' helper. Could it be that they wanted to control the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beast?

He absolutely could not allow the opponent's strength to continue to grow.

He was already ridiculously strong, capable of defeating ninjas from Kumogakure. If he were to possess the power of a tailed beast, would Danzo still have any say in Konoha?

There isn't one at all.

We should immediately send Root members to the Uchiha clan to retrieve the Tailed Beasts. Such a powerful fighting force should be in Root's hands.

By acquiring the Tailed Beasts before the Third Hokage could react, Root's strength greatly increased, giving them a trump card to eliminate the Uchiha clan in the future.

Thinking of this, he immediately summoned several members of the Root organization.

"Immediately proceed to the Uchiha clan's territory and bring the Two-Tails Jinchuriki back to Root."

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

The root members immediately obeyed and left.
