Bab 163: Chapter 164 : The Hokage Building!
When Kazuhiko was still immersed in the feeling of love, he went to sleep in a slightly uneasy mood.
During this time, Konoha was already in great turmoil due to his duel with Uchiha Ryūshō.
The Hokage Building was once again ablaze with lights!
It seemed that since the arrival of Kazuhiko, the Hokage Building was frequently illuminated.
One by one, the leaders of Konoha were summoned to the Hokage Building for a meeting.
Even the elderly elders, who usually retired early, were notified.
One after another, they rose from their beds and hurried to the Hokage Building, clearly showing signs of exhaustion.
When Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura arrived, Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen were already waiting for them.
Several other aged elders were seated on the side, their faces reflecting weariness.
After all, it's not easy for these elderly individuals to fall asleep early, and being summoned in the middle of the night was quite uncomfortable.
By now, the small Hokage office was crowded with people.
"Okay, everyone's here!
Sarutobi Hiruzen, seated in the foremost position, exhaled a puff of blue smoke and glanced at everyone present.
Apart from the advisory elders, Danzo and several special Jōnin also arrived one by one.
The Anbu Ninja on the side distributed information to the elders, allowing them to comprehend the events of the night.
They eyed Sarutobi Hiruzen with suspicion. These elders, abruptly woken from their slumber, didn't know what had happened. They only knew it was an emergency call.
Frowning, they turned the information pages, gradually understanding the situation.
"Is it true?" Mitokado Homura hesitated to believe the authenticity of the information before him.
Several attached photos provided irrefutable evidence.
Apparently, after the clash between Kazuhiko and Uchiha Ryūshō, an Anbu ninja had captured the moment on camera.
Inspecting the battle traces in these photos, elders with extensive combat experience could vividly imagine the intense situation.
Especially those who had experienced the battle styles of the First Hokage Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.
Although the battle marks before them weren't as terrifying, signs of a fierce battle were evident.
What made it even more challenging for them to accept was that such a conflict arose between Kazuhiko and a member of the Uchiha clan.
They had analyzed Kazuhiko to a certain extent and acknowledged his genius comparable to the original First Hokage.
However, the other combatant was the head of the Uchiha clan. They never imagined that Uchiha Ryūshō possessed such formidable strength.
The clan head of the Uchiha clan, always viewed with high regard, had this level of power.
They were completely unaware before!
This prompted Mitokado Homura to question, "Is this true?"
Without a doubt, the information shared at this moment is absolutely accurate.
Indeed, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with a deep conviction.
"It's true, that's the battle that occurred tonight."
Danzo casually flipped through the information in front of him, then raised his head to gaze at the elders present.
"I truly didn't anticipate such a formidable individual reappearing in the Uchiha clan."
"He must have awakened the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan. A person of such strength, yet he has chosen to remain hidden within the Uchiha clan, unseen for so many years..."
Danzo said no more, but everyone grasped the meaning behind his words.
"Why conceal such strength unless he has a grander plan!"
This was their customary way of thinking.
Little did they know, it was due to Uchiha Ryūshō awakening his ability while witnessing his own brother's demise before his eyes...
After awakening, he eliminated all adversaries, but for a time, he even detested his newfound ability.
Upon returning to Konoha, he sensed the animosity of the village's top officials towards the Uchiha clan, and he refrained from sharing this transformation with anyone.
Throughout the years, he silently observed his own metamorphosis.
However, the elders of Konoha interpreted it differently; they believed he harbored a hidden agenda to unleash a devastating blow to Konoha when the time was ripe.
These individuals habitually speculated with the worst malice, especially concerning the Uchiha clan.
So, upon hearing Danzo's words, they tacitly concurred.
For the Uchiha clan, they were always met with the utmost malice and suspicion.
"Yet another awakened dojutsu..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen uttered these words slowly, his eyes concealed by the blue smoke he exhaled, rendering them momentarily indiscernible.
"Such formidable powers must be reported to Konoha and brought under Konoha's control!
"Yes, if there are other concealed abilities within his dojutsu, it could pose significant harm to Konoha!"
Danzo wasn't given a chance to speak; Mitokado Homura, beside him, promptly declared.
Utatane Koharu intended to nod, then reconsidered.
"But what if he refuses to relinquish it?"
For a moment, everyone fell into contemplative silence. Konoha indeed lacked a foolproof plan to restrain the Uchiha clan head.
After pondering for an extended duration, Danzo lifted his head. In reality, their research on the Uchiha clan's Mangekyō was as extensive as anyone else's.
"First, we must ascertain the capabilities bestowed upon him by his Mangekyō... and then decide our course of action."
Upon hearing this, everyone else nodded.
