The Fifth Leaf Village

……

The two of them left the Security Department with the Sixth Battalion, which had been on standby in the Security Department, and headed towards the three tribes' territories. The members of the Sixth Battalion, who had been on standby in the Security Department, felt a little disappointed when they saw the other battalions returning with full loads. Now that they finally received the mission, they were all eager to get started, and they thought that the three tribes' territories would not be too peaceful tonight.

After arranging everything, Uchiha Douhuan drank the tea he had just brewed, then stood up and prepared to go to the Hokage Building.

At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku, who had been waiting outside the door, walked in, glanced at Ji Lei on the knife rack in the office, and asked, "Aren't you going to bring your knife?"

"No need." Uchiha Douhuan smiled, "I don't think we'll need it tonight."

"By the way, Captain Fugaku, remember to distribute the bonuses and ninjutsu before leaving get off work. Everyone has worked hard tonight. I believe everyone can have a good sleep after leaving get off work with the bonuses and ninjutsu." Before leaving, Uchiha Douhuan turned around and reminded.

"I understand." Uchiha Fugaku smiled.

Chapter 62 Negotiation

Because of the martial law in the village, Uchiha Douhuan had a smooth journey to the Hokage Building, but he encountered a few members of the security department who were dragging a thug who had been beaten to death.

In response to their greetings, Uchiha Douhuan also returned the greetings with a smile, and told them to go back quickly, collect their bonuses and ninjutsu after they were done, and then leave work.

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 Dohuan arrived at the Hokage Building, Kakashi also arrived. The two smiled at each other and walked into the Hokage Building together.

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

After seeing the two enter, before Sarutobi Hiruzen could even speak, Utane Koharu took the initiative to attack: "Uchiha Dohuan, why did the Security Department do this tonight? Are you, the Uchiha clan, trying to..."

Before he could finish his words, Uchiha Douhuan's Mangekyō Sharingan instantly opened, and his pupil power and chakra exploded in the Hokage's office. Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting behind the desk, suddenly stood up and slammed the table, angrily shouting, "Shut up!"

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

Beside Uchiha Dohuan, his eye power and chakra gathered into a pitch-black arm bone engraved with blue runes. Susanoo's arm moved two chairs from the corner of the Hokage's office. Uchiha Dohuan sat down with a swagger and motioned Kakashi to sit down as well.

Kakashi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, straightened his clothes, and sat down.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes narrowed slightly. The ultimate power of the Uchiha clan, the Susanoo attached to the Mangekyō Sharingan. The last time he saw this power, he was just a teenager. Although what Uchiha Dohuan showed at this moment was far from the god-like power of Uchiha Madara that he had seen before, it was not difficult to see from Uchiha Dohuan's nonchalant look just now that this was far from the opponent's full strength.

and……

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep look at Kakashi who was sitting side by side with Uchiha Dohuan. The two of them sat directly together, which was undoubtedly making it clear to him that they had formed an alliance.

In response to this, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En with hatred. These two idiots had directly pushed Kakashi to the Uchiha clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen watched the whole process of the ninjas related to the Fourth Hokage stopping the senior ninja squad in the crystal ball. After Kakashi stood up and carried the flag left by the Fourth Hokage, he also became a force that could not be underestimated in the village.

And Uchiha Douhuan quietly gathered a huge team.

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

"Dorm transfer advisor, if you have something to say, you can't take it back once you say it." Uchiha Dohuan leaned back in his chair, turned around and looked at Dorm Koharu with a half-smile and said.

"Uchiha Touhan, you..." Utane Koharu said angrily.

After Uchiha Douhuan warned her, he didn't bother to talk to her anymore. He turned back to Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "Sandaime-sama, tonight the security department was attacked by a mob instigated by someone with ulterior motives. In a desperate situation, we made the decision to impose martial law in the village and suppress the rioters. I didn't have time to report to Sandaime-sama. I hope Hokage-sama will forgive me."

"I already understand the specifics of the situation, Dohwan. You've done a great job," Sarutobi Hiruzen forced a smile and began to define the matter. "Maintaining stability within the village is the responsibility of the Security Department. This matter must be dealt with seriously."

"Huruzen!" After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Mito Menen became anxious on the spot.

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

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew very well that the first thing he had to do before officially starting negotiations with Uchiha Dohuan was to send these two idiots away. These two idiots would only cause trouble if they stayed here.

After all, these two idiots still don't understand the situation. In the past, the Uchiha clan didn't have the ability to complete the rebellion, so as long as they didn't talk nonsense in public, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not bother to bother with them out of the friendship between fellow disciples. But now the Uchiha clan really has the ability to rebel, and these two idiots don't even think about the consequences of their words before speaking.

"It's alright, Hokage-sama. Since the two advisors are so concerned about the affairs of the village, it would be a good idea for you to stay and listen." Uchiha Douhuan smiled brightly. "After all, what I'm going to say next is somewhat related to the two advisors."

"What do you want to say?" Utane Koharu gritted her teeth.

As soon as she finished speaking, a huge explosion was heard from the south of the Hokage Building.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mizuto Kado En, and Utane Koharu all felt a tightness in their hearts, especially Mizuto Kado En and Utane Koharu, because the direction from which the sound came was where their clan's territory was.

"What did you do?" Mizuto Menyan asked gritting his teeth.

"I just sent people to arrest the criminals who colluded with the traitor Orochimaru, killed fellow villagers, and spread rumors in the village to damage the reputation of the village hero." Uchiha Douhuan leaned back slightly, completely leaning on the back of the chair, and said with a chuckle.

"It's just that these criminals just happen to be from the clan of the two advisors and the former Root leader who has been executed, the traitorous ninja Shimura Danzo." Uchiha Douhuan smiled, but his words made the two of them shudder.

"Just catching criminals? Right." Sarutobi Hiruzen lit his pipe, stared at Uchiha Dohuan, and asked.

"Of course." Uchiha Douhuan faced Sarutobi Hiruzen's strength without fear and said with a smile, "The leader is Uchiha Shisui. If the Hokage doesn't trust me, he must trust his own Anbu."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, took the crystal ball on the table, injected chakra into it, 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 siege of this huge amount of ninjutsu, the green war god in the center of the battlefield remained motionless. Then, the green war god just waved his hand casually, and the ninjas besieging him fell down in large numbers.

"This is..." Utane Koharu and Mito Menen were extremely shocked by this scene, and Uchiha Dohuan considerately answered their confusion.

"This is the ultimate power of our Uchiha clan, Susanoo." Uchiha Douhuan said with a smile, "The 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 the two advisors."

Chapter 63 Sarutobi Hiruzen Concessions

The two old men were furious at this moment. Through the crystal ball on Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk, they saw that in just a few minutes, several senior ninjas who had been painstakingly trained over the years with resources obtained from the village through various means fell under Uchiha Shisui's Susanoo.

"The Tsunetouchi and Mitomon families do a really good job in ninja education." At this time, Uchiha Dohuan chuckled and said. These two short sentences made the two consultants break out in cold sweats.

They knew their own situation clearly. In the picture in the crystal ball, most of the ninjas who besieged Shisui's Susanoo were not in the village's ninja sequence. In other words, these ninjas were private soldiers raised by their two clans.

Although most of the ninjas in the village are doing this, some things only weigh a few ounces if they are not weighed, but they can weigh more than a thousand pounds if they are weighed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his pipe and cut off the chakra of the crystal ball. What Uchiha Dohuan said was indeed not suitable to be put on the table. Not to mention that his Sarutobi clan also did it. In the current situation, even if Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En were stupid, he had to hold his nose and protect the ninjas of these two clans, otherwise there would be very few ninjas left in the village who would obey him completely.

"Sir Sandaime, the Security Department has basically confirmed through the interrogation of the thugs who participated in the mob forcing the palace that the source of the rumors about Kakashi in the village came from the two clans of Utsune and Mitomon. Please ask the two consultants to come back with me to the Security Department for investigation." Uchiha Dohuan said.

"Uchiha Douhuan, we are the Hokage's assistants appointed by the Second Hokage. Logically speaking, you and the Security Department have no right to investigate us." Mito Menyan said in a deep voice.

"Does Sandaime-sama agree?" Uchiha Dohuan looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen. "This matter requires an explanation not only from Kakashi himself but from all the ninja in the village. For the sake of the Will of Fire, Sandaime-sama, please seek justice for Kakashi and for every ninja who may make sacrifices for the village in the future."

"Sandaime-sama, Dohwan is right." At this time, Kakashi, who had remained silent, also spoke up. "It's okay for me to suffer a little injustice in this matter, but if this causes the ninjas in the village to begin to doubt the Will of Fire, that would be bad."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up at Kakashi and felt a headache. He didn't know who these people learned this from. Even Kakashi started to talk about the Will of Fire all the time.

"Kakashi..." Utane Koharu wanted to scold Kakashi, but Sarutobi Hiruzen then shouted angrily.

"Enough!" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu with hatred, "How dare you mention the Nidaime-sama? As a disciple of the Nidaime, I don't remember him ever teaching us such despicable tactics!"

"Hruzen, you..." Sarutobi Hiruzen's almost merciless words left Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En speechless for a moment.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't even bother giving them another chance to speak. "Come here! Take the two advisors down and send them to the security department for investigation!"

"Yes!" The door of the Hokage's office was opened, and several Anbu walked in. After the matter on the street was over, they came back to report. Compared with wandering around the street just now, this group of Anbu moved very quickly. In just a blink of an eye, they surrounded the two advisors, and at the same time, their hands were on their weapons.

"Counselors, please don't make things difficult for us." A masked Anbu warned in a low voice.

Utane Koharu looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in disbelief, but when she raised her eyes, she saw the warning in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

Sarutobi Hiruzen now only hopes that these two idiots will be sensible and follow him to the Security Department obediently. As the Hokage, he can still find a way to get them out in a few days, but if they continue to pester him here, once the situation continues to develop, even he, the Hokage, will not be able to control it.

"Hmph, Hiruzen, you will regret this!" Mito Kado En snorted coldly, but ultimately did not resist. Together with Utatane Koharu, he was taken away from the Security Department under the control of the Anbu.

After the two were taken away, Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his brows with a tired look. These two idiots suddenly made him miss Danzo. After a while, he looked at Kakashi and Uchiha Douhuan: "Kakashi, Douhuan, how do you think about handling this?"

"The Sandaime-sama is impartial and just, which is admirable," said Uchiha Douhuan.

"You don't have to say that, Dou Huan." Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Although this matter was just a momentary oversight on my part, ultimately, I, as the Hokage, am also responsible."

"Third-daime, please don't say that. It is the two advisors who are obsessed with power and have forgotten the will of fire and the earnest teachings of the Second-daime," said Uchiha Douhuan.

"Hey, I'm also responsible for them becoming like this." Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "But, Dohwan, Kakashi, for my sake, let's end this matter here. I will personally come forward to clarify all these rumors."

"Thank you, Sandaime-sama." Kakashi nodded.

"Also, Doo Hwan, although they made mistakes, they have still worked hard over the years even though they have no credit. Please give me some face and treat them with a little kindness from the Security Department."

"Understood." Uchiha Douhuan smiled. "After all, the two advisors hold high positions of power. They naturally cannot be held in the same place as ordinary people until the matter is settled. Therefore, Sandaime-sama, the Security Department plans to build a special detention facility near the Minamiga River for this purpose."

"Well, that's fine." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

"Also, Lord Sandaime, what do you think about what Kakashi and I found in Orochimaru's base last time?" Uchiha Douhuan said.

Hearing Uchiha Douhuan mention this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart tightened. After considering it for a while, he said, "Let's postpone this matter. The village can no longer withstand turmoil."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Douhuan looked troubled: "Sandaime-sama, this is a bit difficult."

Uchiha Douhuan sighed, then continued, "It's my fault, actually. There were so many things going on tonight, and they all happened so suddenly. I was so busy that I didn't pay attention to putting the document away, and Shisui accidentally saw it."

Uchiha Douhuan's face showed a look of shame: "Sandaime-sama, I'm sure you are well aware of the character of this clan brother of mine. He has a simple mind and can't hide things. If this drags on, I'm afraid Shisui will inevitably think too much."

"This..." Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless for a moment, and Uchiha Dohuan hurriedly bowed to salute.

"This matter is ultimately due to my negligence. I beg for your forgiveness, Sandaime."

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 the guy who uses Wood Release with you tomorrow. The Security Department needs his help with something." After Kakashi left, Uchiha Dohuan suddenly remembered something and shouted in the direction Kakashi 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.
