Chapter 541: The high-level ninjas of Konoha finally took action from the eastern front camp~

The Land of Fire, the eastern coast.

After Konoha and the Hidden Mist Village ceased fighting and the two countries restored peace again.

The exchange of prisoners, the return of ninja swords...all kinds of things involving the "peace" of the two ninja villages were also put on the agenda.

"Why?"

"I have no objection to exchanging my comrades captured in the war."

"But, why should the village leaders return the spoils obtained by Tetsuya-sama from killing the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to the Hidden Mist Village for nothing?"

"That belongs to Tetsuya-sama?"

"Even the Hokage-sama has no right to dispose of it!"

...

After the news of the northwest front spread.

The ninjas on the eastern front, who had won countless victories under the leadership of Fujiwara Tetsuya, gradually became dissatisfied with Sarutobi Hiruzen, Namikaze Minato, and the entire Konoha high-level leaders.

Even Kakashi, who was on the front line, was specially cared for by many "seniors" because he was the most outstanding disciple of Namikaze Minato.

The bruises on his face never went away...

Even if Lin was there, after the treatment tonight, there would definitely be new bruises tomorrow morning.

This high-frequency abuse also made Kakashi choose to lie down after many fruitless struggles.

Lin was not allowed to continue performing medical ninjutsu to help him remove the bruises on his face.

But no one expected that Kakashi's lying down would bring unexpected benefits.

Perhaps it was because of the bruises on Kakashi's face that the dissatisfied elite jonin subconsciously thought that Kakashi had just been abused...

So, inadvertently, Kakashi escaped a lot of care.

"Be quiet, this is the village's decision, and we can't change it."

"Don't forget, on the northwest front, those companions who intended to "set things right", how many people died inexplicably. "

As time passed, the silent voices gradually quieted down.

For a moment, everyone's eyes gradually turned to... the three figures standing in the front.

Hinata Hizashi~

Uchiha Fugaku~

Uzumaki Kyoji~

After Uchiha Mikoto left the Eastern Front, the three of them... not only became the highest combat force on the Eastern Front of Konoha, but also took over the command of all Konoha ninjas on the Eastern Front.

Let alone Uzumaki Kyoji and Hinata Hizashi who seemed to be a diehard fan of Fujiwara Tetsuya.

In fact, even Uchiha Fugaku had some complaints about the actions of the Hokage lineage.

No matter how high Sarutobi Hiruzen promoted, he could not change the nature of the Hokage lineage's monopoly.

He It is uncertain, assuming... After the Uchiha clan successfully ascended to power, can Namikaze Minato, who was supported by the Uchiha clan at a great price, withstand the will of the old families headed by Sarutobi Hiruzen and fulfill the promise to the Uchiha clan? If he fulfills it, it will be fine! If not, it will drag the Uchiha clan into an even deeper abyss. Step... In the contemplation of Hinata Hizashi, Uchiha Fugaku, Uzumaki Kyoji and others. The sound of footsteps in the distance gradually sounded, and then... countless figures slowly Slowly emerged from the dense forest in the distance.

Among them, standing in front was the Mist Ninja headed by the Hidden Mist Village, the fourth-generation leader of the Hidden Mist Village, Karatachi Yagura, and behind him were hundreds of Konoha ninjas captured in previous wars.

On the south side... the dozens of figures that suddenly appeared were the Konoha high-level leaders headed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, who were specially sent by the Anbu to maintain this exchange ceremony, as well as several teams composed of seniors from major ninja clans.

Well~

At least... that's the case for now.

"Karatachi Yagura! "

"Hmph~"M.biQUpai.

"Hyuga Hiashi, Uchiha Fugaku, Uzumaki Kyoji~"

When they looked at each other, Yagura Karatachi, Hyuga Hiashi and the other four did not show good faces to each other.

Especially Uchiha Fugaku, in several battles with Yagura Karatachi, he basically ended up in a tie, or even...slightly at a disadvantage.

This was undoubtedly a great blow to Uchiha Fugaku who had made a vow.

"Since the people sent by the Hokage have arrived~"

"Then let's start the exchange~"

"Also, the long sword・sewing needle, the blunt sword・dagger cut, the explosive sword・flying foam, the thunder sword・fang, the double sword・flounder...it's time to return it to the Hidden Mist Village. "

Because both sides have their companions in the hands of the other side~

So, even if the Konoha ninjas on the eastern front are full of hostility towards the Hidden Mist Village, they still restrain themselves.

Quietly, they completed the process of exchanging prisoners and returning the ninja swords.

"Hinata Hiashi, Uchiha Fugaku, Uzumaki Kyoji!"

"I will remember the three of you, just like I remember that man."

"When we meet again next time, I will be... the real Kage, the Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village."

"You three, don't let me pull you too far behind~"

"Otherwise, when we meet again next time, I will definitely beat you three to death. "

His eyes swept over the Mist Ninja who was released nearby, and after receiving a positive signal from the accompanying Mist Ninja, he confirmed that Konoha had not secretly made any moves.

Kokuta Yagura finally took a deep look at Hyuga Hizashi, Uchiha Fugaku, and Uzumaki Kyoji.

It was as if he wanted to engrave everything about these three men into his soul.

"Hmph~"

"What an arrogant guy~"

"Kokuta Yagura, if we have a chance to meet again, then... it will definitely be you who will be beaten to death. "

Holding their hands with veins exposed, Uchiha Fugaku, Hyuga Hizashi, and Uzumaki Kyoji gradually developed a terrifying murderous intent in their eyes.

As long as there is still an imbalance of interests between countries and ninja villages.

Then, true peace will never come.

The diffuse flames of war will be reignited sooner or later.

Just like... World War I, World War II, and the current World War III!

"Fugaku~"

Just when everyone could no longer sense the breath of the Mist Ninja and planned to return to the camp.

The Hokage representatives who had just stood there finally moved.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, an old man from the Uchiha clan...slowly walked out and came straight to Uchiha Fugaku.

"Uncle Kakumo~"

Looking at the old man in front of him, Uchiha Fugaku seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly became uncertain.

"Fugaku, with your mind, you should have guessed it. "

"Whether you, or you, are willing or not, this day will come sooner or later. "

"All this was destined from the moment that man attacked the Third Hokage."

"Fugaku, it's time to go back."

"Now you are qualified to shoulder the future of the Uchiha clan."

"This is not only the decision of the village, but also the decision of the clan leader... and all the senior members of the clan."

"When you go back, the clan leader will personally preside over the succession ceremony of the new clan leader for you…"

Looking at the silent Uchiha Fugaku, Hyuga Hizashi and Uzumaki Kyoji finally understood something.

For a moment, their faces also became extremely ugly.
