My name is Uchiha Touhuan, and I beat the villagers so badly they cried out in pain.

Because of the martial law in the village, Uchiha Touhuan had no trouble getting to the Hokage Building, except that he encountered a few members of the security team dragging a thug who had been beaten to a pulp back to the police headquarters.

In response to their greetings, Uchiha Touhuan smiled and returned the greetings, and told them to hurry back so they could finish their work, collect their bonuses and ninjutsu, and then go home.

Upon hearing this, the members of the security department happily shouted their loyalty and kicked the thugs, who were almost sticking out their tongues and rolling their eyes.

When Uchiha Touhuan arrived at the Hokage Building, Kakashi also arrived just in time. The two smiled at each other and walked into the Hokage Building together.

After a brief announcement, Uchiha Touhuan and Kakashi swaggered into the Hokage's office.

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could even speak after the two entered, Koharu Utatane fired off, "Touhou Uchiha, why did the Security Department do this tonight? Does your Uchiha clan intend to...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Touhuan's Mangekyou Sharingan instantly activated, his ocular power and chakra erupting in the Hokage's office. Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was behind the desk, suddenly stood up, slammed his fist on the table, and roared, "Shut up!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly lost his temper and interrupted Utane Koharu's words.

Beside Uchiha Touhuan, his eye power and chakra coalesced into a jet-black arm bone engraved with blue runes. The Susanoo's arm moved two chairs from the corner of the Hokage's office. Uchiha Touhuan swaggered down and gestured for Kakashi to sit down as well.

Kakashi smiled slightly, straightened his clothes, and sat down as well.

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes narrowed slightly. The ultimate power of the Uchiha clan, the Susanoo attached to the Mangekyou Sharingan—the last time he saw such power was when he was just a boy. Although the power that Uchiha Touhuan was showing now was far from the god-like power that he had seen before, it was not hard to tell from Uchiha Touhuan's nonchalant manner that this was far from the opponent's full strength.

and……

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Kakashi a deep look. The fact that the two of them were sitting together was undoubtedly a clear indication that they had formed an alliance.

In response, Hiruzen Sarutobi glared hatefully at Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, those two idiots who, through their actions, had directly pushed Kakashi towards the Uchiha clan.

Hiruzen Sarutobi watched the whole scene in the crystal ball as the ninjas associated with the Fourth Hokage stopped the Jonin team. After Kakashi stepped forward and took up the banner left by the Fourth Hokage, he also became a force to be reckoned with in the village.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Touhuan quietly assembled a massive army.

Hiruzen Sarutobi understood that the initiative was no longer in his hands.

"Dormitory transfer advisor, once you say something, you can't take it back." Uchiha Touhuan leaned back in his chair, turned around and looked at Koharu with a half-smile.

"Uchiha Touhuan, you..." Koharu Utatane said angrily.

After giving her a warning, Uchiha Touhuan didn't bother to say anything more to her. He turned to Hiruzen Sarutobi and said, "Third Hokage, tonight the security department was attacked by rioters incited by those with ulterior motives. In a moment of desperation, we decided to impose martial law on the village and suppress the rioters. We didn't have time to report to the Third Hokage. We hope the Hokage will forgive us."

"I understand the specifics, Touhuan, you did a good job," Hiruzen Sarutobi forced a smile and began to characterize the matter. "Maintaining stability within the village is the duty of the Security Department, and this matter must be dealt with seriously."

"Hiruzen!" Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Homura Mitokado immediately became anxious.

"It's getting late, and the two advisors are quite old. Someone, take them home to rest," said Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew very well that the first thing he had to do before officially starting negotiations with Touhuan Uchiha was to get rid of these two idiots; keeping them here would only make things worse.

After all, these two idiots still haven't figured out the situation. In the past, the Uchiha clan didn't have the ability to carry out a rebellion, so as long as they didn't talk nonsense in public, Hiruzen Sarutobi would be too lazy to bother with them out of consideration for their fellow disciples. But now that the Uchiha clan really has the ability to rebel, these two idiots don't even know to consider the consequences of their words before they speak.

"It's alright, Hokage-sama. Since the two advisors are so concerned about the affairs of the village, it would be good for them to stay and listen." Uchiha Touhuan revealed a bright smile. "After all, what I'm about to say is somewhat related to the two advisors."

"What do you want to say?" Koharu asked through gritted teeth.

No sooner had she finished speaking than a huge explosion came from the south side of the Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane all felt a sudden tightness in their chests, especially Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, because the direction from which the voice came was their clan's territory.

"What did you do?" Mitokado asked through gritted teeth.

"I'm just sending people to arrest criminals who colluded with the rogue ninja Orochimaru, harmed the villagers, and spread rumors in the village, damaging the reputation of the village heroes," Uchiha Touhuan said with a light laugh, leaning back in his chair.

"However, these criminals just happen to come from the clans of the two advisors and the former Root leader, the traitorous ninja Shimura Danzo, who has already been executed." Uchiha Touhuan said with a smile, but his words sent chills down the spines of the two men.

"Just arresting criminals? Right?" Hiruzen Sarutobi lit his pipe, staring at Touken Uchiha, and asked.

"Of course." Uchiha Touhuan met Sarutobi Hiruzen's solid gaze without fear and laughed, "The leader is Uchiha Shisui. If the Hokage doesn't trust me, he should trust his own Anbu, right?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, took the crystal ball from the table, infused it with chakra, and activated the Telescope Technique.

Soon, scenes from several clan territories appeared in the crystal ball. The ninjas from the three families surrounded a huge green half-body martial god, constantly trying to attack with ninjutsu.

However, under the onslaught of this massive amount of ninjutsu, the green martial god at the center of the battlefield remained unmoved. Then, with a casual wave of his hand, the green martial god sent hordes of ninjas attacking him crashing down.

"This is..." Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were utterly shocked by this scene, and Touken Uchiha kindly answered their questions.

"This is the ultimate power of our Uchiha clan, Susanoo," Uchiha Touhuan laughed. "You two advisors should think carefully about how to explain this to the Hokage. According to the evidence obtained during the interrogation at the Security Department tonight, the rumors circulating in the village these past few days were all instigated by you two advisors."
