Naruto's strongest force

Leaf Village.

Jiraiya had no way to find out whether "Number One" was Minato.

Because this guy named "Ikeda Shingo" took Team [-] on a mission.

Jiraiya's plan for a series of trials failed.

Jiraiya had no choice but to postpone the matter.

But after he rescued Nagato and Konan, he suddenly had inspiration.

He was preparing to open a new book and was waiting for news from Nagato and the return of Shingo Ikeda.

But he didn't wait for the news from Nagato.

Instead, he was running for the position of Hokage, and the whole process was made known to him.

Moreover, this information was not heard by Jiraiya.

It was Orochimaru who "unconsciously" revealed something.

Jiraiya just went out to investigate.

After knowing the cause and effect, Jiraiya was completely confused.

Jiraiya was not a child. Even if the Third Hokage acted with power for personal gain, Jiraiya thought it was normal.

But to reach the level of the Third Hokage, Jiraiya did not expect it.

Jiraiya vaguely guessed that the reason why everyone kept things from him before was because of the Third Hokage?

Jiraiya couldn't sit still and stopped writing.

He needs more information.

But right now.

Natsuki Uchiha used his authority as an honorary elder of Konoha to demand a high-level meeting of Konoha.

Jiraiya also needs to participate.

……

Naruto Building.

meeting room.

Many elders gathered together and speculated on what Natsuki Uchiha wanted to do.

The campaign has been going on for some time now.

Last time, Uchiha's methods were suppressed by Orochimaru's strong backhand.

Judging from Orochimaru's skills, as Hokage, he is much tougher than the Third Hokage.

Although the third generation's butt is not clean, there are some flaws in Orochimaru's vote of confidence.

But Tsunade didn't object at the time, and Natsuki didn't object at the time either.

Many ninjas are still looking forward to Orochimaru's cloning technology.

No one would question Orochimaru's position as Hokage.

Everyone was waiting for Orochimaru to officially take office.

Now Uchiha Natsuki suddenly initiated a high-level meeting.

It makes everyone confused.

If he was dissatisfied with Orochimaru, he should have raised it early.

rather than now.

The other elders in the conference room have arrived.

The Third Hokage and the Fifth Hokage have all arrived.

Jiraiya also sat next to him.

He had never been interested in such meetings before.

But today he felt he had to come.

Only Natsuki and Fugaku were absent from the audience.

Hinata Hizashi and Nara Shikago both sat in the position of advisor elder.

Koharu Koharu and Mito Kadeni completely retired, and their powers were completely handed over in the fastest way.

Now there is no room for them in the conference room.

It is worth mentioning that after the news of Koharu and Mito Monobu being fucked off reached the Akimichi family.

That night, Qiu Daofeng died on the recliner with a smile on his face.

The Akimichi family didn't make any grand arrangements. They just invited a few families with good relations with their family to hold a simple funeral.

Three of his former teammates were not invited.

But what kind of disagreements Akimichi Tifeng had with his three teammates was not known to outsiders.

Natsuki basically stepped in.

Although not early, but not late either.

Natsuki came alone, Fugaku did not come with him.

Natsuki walked to his seat.

Didn't sit down either.

Instead, he placed some scrolls on his desk.

Some knowledgeable people among the elders discovered that all those scrolls were official documents of other ninja villages.

The level of this kind of document belongs to the highest diplomatic order, and it usually contains particularly important matters.

Everyone was muttering in their hearts, maybe Uchiha Natsuki might have made some big move this time.

"Thank you elders for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend this meeting."

Natsuki glanced over everyone, his eyes lingering on Jiraiya.

"Now that everyone is here, it's great."

"Everyone is invited here just to announce something."

Xia Mu saw everyone looking attentively.

Take a deep breath.

"I, Uchiha Natsuki, declare as the leader of the Uchiha clan."

"Starting today, our Uchiha clan will leave Konoha and become independent!"

"Wow..."

Natsuki's words were like a bombshell thrown into the sea.

The elders, who usually kept their emotions and anger secretive, suddenly changed their expressions.

Everyone looked left and right.What I saw on the faces of the other elders was shock.

It seems that no one knew the news in advance.

Jiraiya immediately remembered the information he had received before.

He looked at the Third Hokage and sighed inwardly.

Old man, it seems that Xia Mu is targeting you.

The other elders all looked at Orochimaru, but Orochimaru's expression did not change much.

On the other hand, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen looked very gloomy.

The Third Hokage said in a deep voice:

"Uchiha Natsuki, do you Uchiha want to rebel against the village?"

Xia Mu asked doubtfully:

"Rebel the village? Why do you say that?"

Then, there was a hint of sarcasm on Xia Mu's lips:

"Konoha was founded by our Uchiha ancestors and the Senju clan. We don't want to stay in Konoha anymore. Are you trying to stop me?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, we can no longer call it Konoha Village. The village should be called Sarutobi Village now."

"Is that right, the Third Hokage?"

Xia Mu's voice was calm, but his words were heart-wrenching.

The third Hokage's face turned green. Orochimaru originally did not pursue this matter, so everyone tacitly agreed to deal with it coldly.

Now that Xia Mu is directly on the table, it's not as simple as splitting one's face.

This is a complete break.

The third generation looked at Natsuki with blazing eyes, and kept silent about the matter of "Sarutobi Village", but said:

"Natsuki Uchiha has never formed a family in the village and can still go out on his own."

What the Third Hokage said makes sense. Everyone knows that the ninja world is a world of intelligence.

As an important part of a village, if you leave casually, how many secrets in the village will be leaked.

How much damage will the village suffer?

It's not that Uchiha can't go out independently. The previous three generations of Hokage even thought that this was the way to minimize the damage to Konoha.

But not now.

Although the Fifth Hokage was elected, he has not officially taken office and is still in the process of handover.

Strictly speaking, the current Hokage is still Sarutobi Hiruzen.

It was previously exposed that he was using his power for personal gain, but only senior people could see the specific situation clearly.

If the Uchiha clan leaves Konoha Village.

And it was Natsuki who left after the unfair Hokage campaign.

The entire ninja world will know that because of Sarutobi Hiruzen's political darkness, he forced away a wealthy clan that existed since the establishment of the village.

And this ninja clan is still the Uchiha clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history and will never be able to stand up again.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen must be stopped.

Natsuki sneered and put his hands on the table.

"There is no other way. If my Uchiha clan doesn't go out independently, I'm really afraid that one day I'll be wiped out by you, Hiruzen Sarutobi."

When the other elders heard this, their hearts beat wildly, and the atmosphere suddenly became depressed.

The Third Hokage's face was gloomy:

"What nonsense! Uchiha Natsuki, you are talking nonsense!"

Xia Mu said calmly:

"I'm not just talking nonsense. When Danzo was here before, he spared no effort to suppress our Uchiha clan."

"The mission system has never given us preferential treatment."

"How much contribution Fugaku made during the Third Ninja War. I don't even think about the Hokage and the like. He doesn't even have an ordinary honorary elder."

"The Hokage assists Shimura Danzo and covets our Uchiha's Sharingan, but you are trying to make peace with us."

"It is clear that Shimura Danzo committed a heinous crime, yet you placed him in a single-floor cell and allowed him to escape in the end."

"I used regular means to run for the position of Hokage, but I didn't expect that you would actually manipulate me."

Natsuki spread his hands.

"Even the Hokage's election can be manipulated."

"How can we Uchiha succeed in such a dark place?"

"We, the Uchiha clan, were forced to leave by you, Hiruzen Sarutobi!"

Xia Mu said the last sentence very slowly, but extremely clearly.
