The moment my hand touched the pipe, it suddenly shattered into powder and scattered everywhere.

This caused Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression to change slightly.

"Was it disrupted by the overwhelming force just now...?"

He stared incredulously at the last bit of powder remaining in his hand, utterly shocked.

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Ryosuke was able to unleash substantial damage simply by bursting out with his aura.

As far as I can remember, even the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, might not have been able to do that!

When Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Ryosuke Uchiha again, there was a clear increase in his apprehension.

"Lord Third Generation, the way you asked this question is incorrect."

"You should ask this: Why don't the village's higher-ups agree to let the Uchiha clan be the leaders of Konoha?"

"Finding the answer to this question is finding my answer."

Uchiha Ryosuke calmly responded to Hiruzen Sarutobi's question.

There's a hidden meaning in his words...

This once again made Hiruzen Sarutobi look at him with new respect.

"The Uchiha clan is fully responsible for the security of Konoha Village. The Konoha Police Force was established specifically for you, a system that has continued since the Second Hokage's reign..."

"I don't want to hear what you're saying."

Uchiha Ryosuke interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen: "You should already know what Minato just told you, right?"

“I’m not as reserved as him. I prefer to speak more directly. Third Hokage, if you don’t want the village to bleed because of this small disagreement, I suggest you support me as Hokage.”

"Don't worry, there's no one else here, you won't lose face because of this."

Uchiha Ryosuke spread his hands and smiled easily.

These words caused Minato Namikaze and all the ANBU captains behind him to frown.

But no one dared to oppose him.

Uchiha Ryosuke has shown everyone more than once through his actions that he truly has the ability to turn Konoha upside down.

Now, neither Minato Namikaze nor the Dark Division are saying anything.

The pressure was put on Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He looked at the elite guards lying unconscious on the ground, scattered haphazardly.

Then he glanced at Uchiha Ryosuke, who looked relaxed and at ease.

Finally, I let out a helpless sigh.

"It seems you have victory in your grasp, Uchiha Ryosuke."

"The fact that the elite Jonin from all the major clans in the village did not respond to my call to gather is also your doing, isn't it?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression gradually calmed down, and he asked calmly.

"They simply made the rational and correct choice."

Uchiha Ryosuke answered.

His guess was confirmed, and Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless for a moment.

Unexpectedly, the elite members of those ninja clans who were originally loyal to him have all turned against him.

He didn't understand how Uchiha Ryosuke had managed to do all this.

However, it must be admitted that this young man, in terms of both his own strength and his methods of doing things, truly has the qualifications to become Hokage.

Perhaps under his leadership, the village really can become better...

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought to himself, then felt a pang of regret.

In fact, towards the end of the Third Shinobi World War, he had already realized that he might have to step down and bear the responsibility.

This was not only because rivals were interfering, but also because Konoha Village had indeed paid a heavy price for this war.

Many outstanding ninjas emerged on the battlefield.

However, many more ninjas lost their lives because of their own command.

From that moment on, Hiruzen Sarutobi was already plotting to make Minato Namikaze his successor.

There are several main benefits.

Most importantly, Minato Namikaze came from a commoner background and had no powerful family connections in Konoha, which made it easier for me to control him.

Moreover, Minato Namikaze was Jiraiya's disciple, so he could be considered one of their own.

I feel very reassured about handing over the position of Fourth Hokage to him.

But now, Minato Namikaze, considering the bigger picture, has voluntarily relinquished the Hokage position to Ryosuke Uchiha.

Chapter 63 Lord Liangyou! Convinced! Shocked!

From now on, it seems the Uchiha clan will be in charge of the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

The Uchiha clan is not so easy to control.

Uchiha Ryosuke doesn't seem to be the kind of person who would listen to his opinions.

Even respecting one's own ideas is not something one can necessarily hope to obtain.

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but sigh silently once again.

Uchiha Ryosuke, having received Hiruzen Sarutobi's nod, revealed a pleased smile.

"Then thank you for your support, Third Hokage. Please stay and work with the two advisors to devise strategies for the development of Konoha Village."

Uchiha Ryosuke gave Sarutobi Hiruzen a way out.

At the same time, they invited him to be a high-level advisor to the village, which was a way of giving Hiruzen Sarutobi a lot of face.

Hiruzen Sarutobi simply nodded without saying a word.

Minato Namikaze said, "The best place for our duel is in front of everyone in the village. That way, the outcome will be the most convincing."

He looked over at Uchiha Ryosuke.

Uchiha Ryosuke himself hadn't thought of this.

Upon hearing this, he gave Minato Namikaze a deep look, and the latter then said:

"Although I have agreed to hand over the Hokage position to you, I will not show you any mercy because of that."

"me too."

Uchiha Ryosuke smiled faintly.

That's how it was decided.

The two agreed to gather all the Jonin in the village first thing tomorrow morning to witness their duel outside the village.

At this moment, seeing their decision, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly said, "It will take some time for the Uchiha clan's prestige to take hold in the village."

"Uchiha Ryosuke..."

He looked at Uchiha Ryosuke with a hesitant expression, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

After Uchiha Ryosuke met his gaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi continued, "Konoha has never intended to be an enemy of the Uchiha clan."

"I hope you won't let down the name of Hokage."

And it wasn't until Hiruzen Sarutobi said those words.

The powerful members of the Sarutobi clan then rushed over.

The Jonin of the Sarutobi clan were completely dumbfounded when they saw the Anbu lying on the ground, and then looked at Uchiha Ryosuke, Namikaze Minato, and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"I only need a year at most for Konoha to become the strongest in the entire ninja world."

Uchiha Ryosuke said confidently.

"Then I'll be waiting to see your results."

After finishing his sentence, Hiruzen Sarutobi put his hands behind his back and walked towards his clansmen.

"Sandaime-sama?"

A Jonin from the Sarutobi clan looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with suspicion and uncertainty.

"Let's go. This matter is over. After tomorrow, I will personally hold the Hokage inauguration ceremony for Uchiha Ryosuke."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly, as if nothing had happened.

I originally thought that a great battle would be needed to resolve the Uchiha clan's predicament.

I never expected things to end so simply.

Uchiha Ryosuke himself was also surprised.

However, many people in the village still don't know what happened.

These people, who stood at the forefront of Konoha and even the entire ninja world, simply handed over the fate of Konoha to the Uchiha clan with a few words.

At this very moment, in the Nara clan's ancestral lands.

Nara Shikaku, who was kneeling on the floor, suddenly stood up, opened the door, and went out.

"It's about time."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Soon, the heads of Konoha's prestigious clans, including Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi from the Hyuga clan, Akimichi Choza from the Akimichi clan, Yamanaka Inoichi from the Yamanaka clan, Aburame Shiki from the Aburame clan, and Inuzuka Tsurugi from the Inuzuka clan, arrived here.

Nara Shikaku, who had been waiting for a long time, walked out towards them.

"It seems everyone has already received the Third Hokage's summons."

Nara Shikaku said in a deep voice.

"So, are we really not going to heed the call of the Third Generation?"

"I can't help but ask," Akimichi Choza asked.

"After all, this is such an important matter. If the Uchiha clan really intends to seize power, as members of Konoha, it would be inappropriate for us to run away instead of sharing the burden with the Third Hokage."

Yamanaka Inoichi also looked at Nara Shikaku with a serious expression.

Previously, Nara Shikaku had shared that little story with them, following Uchiha Ryosuke's instructions.

Furthermore, everyone here has been solemnly warned not to become enemies with the Uchiha clan, nor to get involved in the village's internal strife.

Otherwise, it would not only be irresponsible to their own family, but also to Konoha.

This led to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, issuing a summons to the various clans, but none of them showed up.

"If the Uchiha clan really intends to force their way in, it will indeed be a calamity that is tantamount to the destruction of the entire Hidden Leaf Village."

"Especially during such a crucial period..."

Inuzuka Tsuru hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

It is clear that although she is a woman, as the head of the Inuzuka clan, her vision and perspective are no less than those of the other men present.

At this moment, Hiashi Hyuga also spoke up: "If the opponent is the Uchiha, I advise you all to give up the idea of ​​participating in the war."

Although the reason was not explicitly stated.

However, the head of the Hyuga clan, which has always been regarded as one of the three most powerful ninja clans in Konoha, actually said such a thing (afbd).

This greatly surprised all the other family patriarchs present.

Everyone instinctively looked at Nara Shikaku.

At this moment, the strategist finally spoke up: "Although I promised Uchiha Ryosuke that I would be responsible for conveying his will to each of you, it is, after all, the Third Hokage's call, so I think we should still make two preparations."

"You all take charge of gathering your clansmen and then wait here. I will personally go and see what's going on at the Hokage's office."

After saying that, Nara Shikaku walked out of the courtyard...

Nara Shikaku took a few steps forward, then remembered something, stopped, and turned back to look at the solemn-looking heads of the various clans.

"If I don't return or deliver any message within two hours, you can all leave."
