Rukawa said calmly.

However, Fugaku was still not entirely at ease, so he went over and helped Itachi up, examining him carefully.

After confirming that everything was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Rukawa.

"Thank you for showing mercy, senior! I'm sure Itachi won't bother you again after this!"

Then, Fugaku summoned an Uchiha clansman and asked him to take Itachi to receive treatment before cautiously speaking to Rukawa:

"Well, senior, now that everything is alright, shall we go to the meeting now? Or do you need to rest? I'll do whatever you say!"

After this incident, Fugaku's attitude became noticeably more respectful!

After all, this was a ruthless person who could withstand Susanoo with his bare body, so he dared not show the slightest disrespect.

Moreover, for reasons unknown, this powerful individual chose to transform into the likeness of his second son, Rukawa.

Is this some kind of super-powerful patron delivered right to our doorstep?

He'd better hold on tight!

As for his real son, Uchiha Rukawa, Fugaku felt that he wasn't actually that important.

Trading a mediocre son for a peerless expert—it's not a bad deal at all!

After all, you can have another son if you lose him, but the opportunity to latch onto someone powerful is something you can only hope to have once in a lifetime!

He must seize this opportunity!

Although it might seem a bit cold-hearted, that was exactly what Fugaku was thinking at that moment.

...

Soon, the two arrived at the Hokage Building.

The large conference room, which is specifically used for holding village-wide meetings, is not on the first floor, but on the second floor.

So, Rukawa followed Fugaku down the stairs to the corridor entrance of the second-floor conference room.

"Clan Chief Fugaku, you've finally arrived! Please come in, everyone inside has been here for a while, we were just missing you!"

Upon seeing the two, the guards at the entrance of the main conference room corridor quickly made way for Fugaku to pass.

But when Rukawa was about to pass through, he was stopped by the guard.

"I'm sorry, the meetings inside are only open to the clan leaders and high-ranking officials of Konoha..."

You're just an ordinary Uchiha clansman, you should wait outside!

Come again? !

Rukawa raised an eyebrow as he looked at the arm blocking his way.

Just as he was about to throw the guard aside, Fugaku noticed what was happening behind him and immediately shouted:

"How dare you stop a senior like yourself? Open your eyes and see clearly!"

This is a Konoha hero who exposed Danzo's evil deeds! He's not just some ordinary Uchiha clansman!

"what?!"

The guard was startled and quickly looked at the handsome man in front of him!

Since Rukawa had not yet deactivated his "White God Form," the guard did not recognize him at first.

After careful observation, the facial features of the handsome young man in front of him gradually overlapped with those of seven-year-old Uchiha Rukawa.

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I was blind and didn't recognize you, my great hero!"

But it's all your fault, hero! You've become so handsome, it's almost unrecognizable!

The guards quickly stepped aside and flattered Rukawa, their faces full of respect and obsequiousness.

Watching the two figures slowly walk away, the guard couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

What a risk!

I was practically courting death just now!

They actually dared to stop that kind of vicious guy; I almost lost my life!

He looked terrified and kept patting his chest.

Looks like after get off work I'll have to go to the red-light district and find some cute girls to soothe my overly frightened heart!

...

"When did I become a hero of Konoha?!"

Rukawa looked at Fugaku beside him, speechless.

"Oh! I forgot to tell you, senior, it's my fault!"

Fugaku slapped his forehead, then quickly explained:

"These past few days, you have been in seclusion cultivating, so you are unaware of this."

Senior, you not only exposed Danzo's crimes, but also eradicated the Shimura clan, a scourge of Konoha...

With these two great achievements, isn't this senior a worthy hero of Konoha?

"A great hero?! Ha! I don't want to be any great hero!"

"Killing Danzo and wiping out the Shimura clan was just something I wanted to do; there was no other reason!"

"Furthermore, this might just be another of Hiruzen Sarutobi's old tricks to flatter and kill us!"

Rukawa said calmly.

Sakumo Hatake was a great hero of Konoha, but he ended up in a miserable state!

Minato Namikaze is another example.

Therefore, becoming a hero in Konoha almost always ends in tragedy; even a dog wouldn't be allowed to do it!

Of course, with his current strength, there is absolutely no chance of tragedy.

"Was it that old fox Sarutobi using a tactic of flattery to kill? I'm not so sure about that!"

However, many ninjas in the village address their seniors that way!

Fugaku shook his head.

"Let them call me whatever they want! If that old bastard Sarutobi thinks he can use this crappy title to bind me, then he's just too naive!"

Rukawa gave a cold smile.

Squeak! !

The door to the large conference room opened, and Fugaku walked in first.

Inside, there is a huge floor-to-ceiling window and lighting, making the room very bright.

A long table was in the middle, and at that moment, both sides of the long table were full of people.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, sat in the seat of honor.

Everyone attending the meeting was of high status.

It can be said that all the key figures of Konoha have gathered here.

Noticing the commotion at the door, everyone turned to look.

Upon seeing that it was Fugaku who had arrived late, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face immediately darkened, and he said with displeasure:

"Fugaku, why did you only arrive now?"

As Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, his voice rose, seemingly trying to stir up the crowd's emotions and give Fugaku a hard time!

However, at this moment, he was overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, Fugaku was so stupid that he dared to be more than two hours late for such an important meeting.

Isn't this just a perfect excuse for him to make targeted remarks?

So he didn't intend to give Fugaku a chance to speak at all, his old mouth chattering on and on like a machine gun.

"Fugaku! What you've done is absolutely outrageous! How can you treat such an important meeting like this?!"

Or are you saying you don't respect any of us?! You think you can come whenever you want?!

"This is simply unreasonable!"

boom! !

With that, Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his hand on the table, his face filled with indignation, and said sharply:

"Fugaku, give me an explanation right now! Give everyone an explanation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mitokado Homura immediately chimed in, scoffing:

"Tsk! They get all smug and complacent with just a little achievement. That's the arrogance of the Uchiha!"

Xiaochun, who was switching dorms, quickly chimed in, sneering:

"Ha! As expected of the Uchiha! Such an arrogant attitude, a leopard can't change its spots!"

The three of them kept talking, as if Fugaku's lateness was a serious offense against the heavens!

In fact, the three of them had a very simple purpose: to increase everyone's hatred for the Uchiha clan and make them return to their isolated and helpless state as soon as possible.

"What?! Fugaku, are you speechless? It seems you really don't respect any of us!"

"Fine, since you look down on us so much, then the Uchiha clan doesn't need to attend this meeting today!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly.

His gaze toward Fugaku was filled with disgust and disdain.

He secretly hoped that Fugaku would lose his temper and leave in a fit of anger.

That would reduce their workload significantly.

It would then be even more logical for them to exclude the Uchiha clan.

"That's right! I agree with Hiruzen's actions. Get out, Fugaku, you're no longer qualified to attend this meeting!"

Xiaochun, who was turning over a new bed, chimed in.

Meanwhile, Fugaku, who was standing at the door, simply watched the three of them perform without any expression.

Then he turned around, making way for himself, and bowed slightly, saying respectfully:

"Senior, please go first! But I just heard someone say that we Uchiha are not worthy to attend this meeting!"

"Oh! Who said that we Uchiha are not worthy of attending the meeting?!"

As the calm voice faded, Liu Chuan, dressed in white with a handsome face, slowly walked in.

His calm gaze swept over everyone present, revealing neither a hint of murderous intent nor any display of power.

But it sent chills down everyone's spines.

Just a moment ago, it felt as if they had been targeted by an insane beast.

Chapter 66 A Strike with a Raised Hand! A Domineering Flow!

Xiaochun, who was turning over in her dorm, frowned, feeling a sense of dread for some reason.

However, the time was too short, and she thought it was just her imagination.

Coming to her senses, she saw Rukawa walking out from behind Fugaku.

A handsome young man, whom she didn't recognize!

But it doesn't matter, because she is happy at this moment.

He thought to himself that Fugaku was indeed incredibly foolish; not only was he late, but he also brought a stranger to such an important meeting.

If we don't seize this opportunity to make a fuss, we'll be doing a disservice to Fugaku's "stupidity"!

So her face turned cold, and feigning anger, she reprimanded Fugaku without any politeness:

"Fugaku! What do you mean by this? Not only are you late for the meeting, but you also brought a brat with you!"

Such a high-level meeting is not something a mere kid like him could attend! He doesn't even have the right to sit in!
