As soon as these words came out, Danzo lowered his head immediately to cover up his expression.
"Hiruzen, you are not old. At your age, it is the peak of life. It's just your heart that's old."
The Third Hokage seemed not to hear the deep meaning in Danzo's words. He shook his head.
"No, it's time to give way to young people."
Danzo was silent for a long time, saying unwillingly:
"It's wartime now. Abdication is not good. It's better to be led by more experienced old people."
The Third Hokage nodded in agreement:
"Indeed."
Before Danzo could be happy, the Third Hokage continued:
"So I will abdicate after this war ends."
Looking at the stubborn Third Hokage, Danzo was secretly annoyed.
Hiruzen definitely heard the meaning in his words but pretended not to understand!
Although angry inside, he had a submissive expression on his face.
"Okay, next, please invite the Uchiha clan leader to come over."
Half an hour later.
The Uchiha clan leader retreated timidly from the Hokage's office.
He kept wiping the sweat from his face, his face full of bitter smiles.
That kind of thing happened in the Mist Village again.
To compromise, he had to send genius children only a few years old from the clan to Danzo's Root again.
Ten minutes later, as soon as he entered the Uchiha station.
Feeling several Chakras secretly peeping at him disappear.
His brows furrowed immediately, and the timidity on his face disappeared without a trace.
"Call several elders to the council hall."
The Uchiha clan leader casually ordered the clansman passing by with majesty.
He frowned and walked in a certain direction.
At the same time, in front of a house inside the Uchiha station.
A beautiful woman full of the aura of a married woman.
Her white face was full of annoyance as she said to the man next to her:
"You are so annoying. Can you stop pestering me?"
As the woman said this, the man next to her said somewhat angrily.
"How can you talk like this?"
If just looking at this scene, perhaps many people would subconsciously think it was a hooligan pestering a decent woman.
"You are my fiancée engaged to me. I just want to talk to you; how did it become pestering you?"
But with the man's words, it instantly changed from a hooligan pestering a decent woman to a normal emotional dispute.
Mikoto Uchiha looked at the man in front of her with annoyance. She retreated a few steps, frowned tightly, and said unceremoniously:
"Then the engagement between me and you is canceled now!"
Standing a few meters away from Mikoto Uchiha.
Fugaku Uchiha, with tear troughs, looking steady, seemingly in his early thirties.
Actually only twenty-six or seven years old, frowned slightly, his face full of incomprehension.
"Mikoto, did I annoy you somewhere? Why say such angry words?"
In Fugaku Uchiha's view, maybe he was too busy these days and didn't talk to his fiancée.
So she got angry and said such angry words.
Mikoto Uchiha looked coldly at the man in front of her, crossing her arms.
Because of this action, Mikoto Uchiha's ample chest became more prominent.
"I didn't say angry words. I'm serious. I want to cancel the engagement with you."
Fugaku Uchiha frowned tightly. Because of this action, he looked a few years older than just now.
An indescribable sense of majesty emerged from him.
"Mikoto, stop joking, or I will really get angry."
Mikoto Uchiha looked at the serious Fugaku Uchiha. She didn't look afraid at all, looking directly at him bravely.
"Originally, I didn't want to be with you very much. It was just the elders in the family persuading me day and night that I reluctantly engaged to you."
Speaking of this, Mikoto Uchiha showed a happy and brilliant smile on her face.
Fugaku Uchiha saw his fiancée showing a happy smile he had never seen before.
He was stunned for a moment.
Mikoto Uchiha covered her chest slightly, saying happily and intoxicatedly:
"And the most important thing is, I already have a man I love deeply."
Hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha felt the anger of being cuckolded surging in his heart instantly!
He hadn't been with her for only a week.
He was cuckolded, his home stolen by some wild man?
However, as the most outstanding genius of the younger generation of Uchiha, even in extreme anger of being cuckolded.
Fugaku Uchiha still tried to control his emotions, saying with gritted teeth:
"Mikoto Uchiha!"
"You said you wanted to maintain premarital purity. Fine, I haven't touched you all along."
"You said you didn't want premarital kissing. Fine, I endured it too."
"You even said you didn't want contact behavior with other men. I accepted it too, never held hands with you all along."
"I have always followed your wishes in everything, but now you actually tell me you have another man you like. What does this mean?!"
Fugaku Uchiha, trying hard to maintain calm, became angrier as he spoke.
Other clansmen had been envying him for having such a beautiful and virtuous fiancée with good talent and strength.
But who knew the truth?
He and his fiancée.
Let alone kissing, they hadn't even held hands.
Would anyone believe these weird things if spoken out?
After saying these words resentfully.
Fugaku Uchiha saw that the woman in front of him completely treated his words as wind past ears.
Mikoto Uchiha's expression didn't change at all, still looking happy.
But that smile was not for him!
Mikoto Uchiha looked straight at the open space in front, as if her lover was there.
Rasa hid in the different dimension, watching the drama in front of him with relish.
Originally, he wanted to come to find Mikoto Uchiha to play and discuss some things by the way.
Unexpectedly, these dog-blood things happened.
But seeing Fugaku Uchiha's angry expression of being cuckolded was also a good experience.
Fugaku Uchiha, with excellent endurance, saw the happy smile of the woman in front of him.
He began to take deep breaths constantly, forcing himself to calm down.
Fugaku Uchiha barely controlled the angry expression on his face, squeezing out a smile forcibly.
"Mikoto, let's discuss things properly. If you are dissatisfied with me, you can say it. I will correct it."
"Don't cancel the engagement, okay?"
Saying these words humbly, Fugaku Uchiha felt like a dog begging constantly!
But there was no way. Mikoto Uchiha was the female ninja with the best talent in the younger generation of the clan.
Ten years ago, before she came of age, she had already awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan.
The offspring born from marriage with her would definitely be geniuses, even possibly surpassing his talent.
And her mother was also the youngest core elder in the clan.
If he married Mikoto Uchiha, he would get many tangible and intangible helps.
With so many benefits, it was hard for Fugaku Uchiha to give her up.
"I have already given my most precious thing to him."
However, Mikoto Uchiha's light sentence.
Immediately made Fugaku Uchiha, who had excellent endurance and tried to control his emotions, have red eyes on the spot!
His hands trembled, and he looked carefully at the conservatively dressed Mikoto Uchiha again somewhat incredulously.
Under this careful observation.
Fugaku Uchiha finally noticed some different changes.
Although Mikoto Uchiha's standing posture was no different from before.
But the temperament on her body was more charming than before!
When discovering this subtle change, even if he didn't want to admit it in his heart, Fugaku Uchiha had to admit reality.
His fiancée.
His fiancée whom he hadn't even touched.
She actually hooked up with another man when he was busy.
And even privately pledged herself to him, giving away her most precious chastity!
Various negative emotions such as anger, unwillingness, and humiliation appeared on Fugaku Uchiha's mature face.
Accumulated anger finally shattered Fugaku Uchiha's reason.
He looked up at Mikoto Uchiha with shortness of breath.
Wanting to scold the woman in front of him with the most vicious language.
But having received good education since childhood, after searching his stomach, he could only say a few not light or heavy sentences.
"You unfaithful bitch! I'm going to kill you!"
After roaring this sentence, Fugaku Uchiha stepped forward quickly, wanting to grab Mikoto Uchiha's hand.
Mikoto Uchiha frowned slightly and dodged his attacking hands with a light dodge.
"What unfaithful?"
"I just have an engagement relationship with you. I haven't even let you touch my hand, and originally I didn't love you either. In this situation, I fell in love with another man. Does this count as unfaithful?"
Mikoto Uchiha's calm words were like pouring oil on fire, making Fugaku Uchiha even angrier!
He took out two kunai from his bosom, moved slightly, and instantly turned into afterimages!
Seeing this, Mikoto Uchiha also took out two kunai from her bosom.
She retreated a few steps, her figure also forming afterimages.
Constantly blocking Fugaku Uchiha's attacks.
As the number one female in the younger generation of the Uchiha clan, Mikoto Uchiha.
Although her comprehensive strength was not comparable to Fugaku Uchiha, who was four or five years older than her.
But using only taijutsu, resisting for ten minutes was not a problem.
Rasa frowned slightly at the fighting man and woman in front of him, suppressing the impulse to intervene.
Soon, the movement from the yard immediately attracted the attention of surrounding clansmen.
Seeing that it was actually the two most outstanding juniors of the younger generation in the clan fighting.
And it didn't look like playing around.
They looked at each other and stepped forward to stop it invariably.
A clever clansman ran towards the council hall.
Several elders relying on their seniority directly persuaded.
"What are you two fighting for? Can't you discuss things properly?"
However, the two seemed not to hear, kunai colliding constantly, making harsh sounds and sparks.
Rasa looked at the Uchiha clansman running away.
With a thought, he created a shadow clone following behind that clansman.
...
"This time is even more excessive. Sending genius children only a few years old in the clan to that guy's Root?"
"After sending these children in, can we get them back? Dare we ask for them back!"
In the underground secret room of the Uchiha council hall.
A fat Uchiha elder in his fifties roared indignantly.
Because of the intense anger in his heart, blood-red Three Tomoe Sharingan appeared in his eyes unknowingly.
"Yu, put away your Sharingan. Speak properly."
The Uchiha clan leader sat in the head seat and said snappily.
Hearing the clan leader's words, Uchiha Yu realized that he had unknowingly revealed the Three Tomoe Sharingan.
He blinked quickly. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes had turned into normal black pupils.
After doing all this, Uchiha Yu complained:
"Clan Leader, why agree to Danzo's unreasonable request?"
The Uchiha clan leader put his hands on the table and rested his chin on his hands.
He scanned the several Uchiha core elders sitting around and said calmly:
"The Mist Village was attacked by Susanoo yesterday."
As soon as this was said, the atmosphere in the secret room dropped to the lowest immediately.
The fat on Uchiha Yu's face twitched constantly.
Obviously in the dry underground secret room, traces of cold sweat began to emerge on his face.
The Uchiha clan leader observed the expressions on everyone's faces calmly.
At this time, he completely lacked the cowardice shown in front of the Third Hokage and other Konoha high-level officials.
After tens of seconds of suffocating silence.
The Uchiha clan leader withdrew his gaze helplessly.
He didn't observe a certain expression he wanted to see in front of these core elders.
A mature and pleasant voice came from the chair on the left.
"In that case, there's no way."
Hearing this, the surrounding elders immediately turned their eyes to the woman who spoke.
The woman looked about thirty years old, with skin as white as a baby.
She wore a neat ninja outfit, with high breasts and a graspable slender waist, exuding the strong charm of a mature woman all over her body.
"Elder Shuang is right. Since that's the case, there's no way."
"Just a pity for those children."
A steady middle-aged man with a beard nodded in agreement.
Although other elders felt helpless, they could only acquiesce.
Seeing the atmosphere beginning to ease, the Uchiha clan leader said again:
"Then choose five children with outstanding talents. Old rules, after the meeting ends, draw lots in turn to decide which five branches will provide."
Seeing everyone nodding in agreement.
The Uchiha clan leader pondered for a while and said with a somewhat complex tone:
"Since that incident happened in the Stone Village, I checked the clan urgently."
"Clansmen who opened the Three Tomoe Sharingan in the clan, in this month, except for Mikoto Uchiha who went out for a mission, others haven't left the village at all."
Everyone looked at Uchiha Shuang.
Uchiha Shuang, the most outstanding genius of the middle-aged generation of Uchiha, became an elder at twenty-five and entered the core elder layer of Uchiha at thirty-five.
Facing everyone's gaze, she tapped the table lightly and elegantly with her slender fingers painted with bright red nail polish.
Uchiha Shuang's rosy lips opened and closed elegantly:
"It won't be my daughter. Not to mention my daughter wouldn't do such a thing, if she really opened the Mangekyō, she would definitely tell me."
Hearing this, the Uchiha clan leader showed no surprise on his face, just nodded:
"Since that's the case, it's not someone in our clan who opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, hid it from everyone, and acted privately."
"But in this way, it means someone outside has opened the Mangekyō Sharingan."
Uchiha Yu denied flatly:
"Impossible. The bloodline has never flowed out of the clan for a hundred years."
A smile appeared on Uchiha Shuang's mature and beautiful face.
"Then could it be that person?"
As Uchiha Shuang's mature and pleasant mature female voice echoed in the basement.
The atmosphere in the basement became solemn and silent.
The Uchiha clan leader sweated coldly, no longer having the previous majesty and calmness.
His already turbid black pupils unconsciously transformed into Three Tomoe Sharingan due to nervousness and fear.
Uchiha Yu sitting on the other side was even more unbearable.
His fat body shook constantly, and the sweat on his body almost soaked his clothes.
Several other elders were also like this.
Both eyes transformed into Three Tomoe Sharingan due to fear.
Seeing this, Uchiha Shuang covered her mouth gently with her snow-white palm and chuckled.
"Hehe, what's wrong? Just one sentence, look at your appearance, all turned into this dead look."
The Uchiha clan leader wiped the sweat on his face with the back of his hand full of sweat, and smiled bitterly:
"Shuang, don't make such a bad joke. My heart almost stopped beating from fright."
Uchiha Yu widened his eyes in horror. He tried hard to squeeze out a smile but couldn't.
"Yes, Elder Shuang, how... how could that person still be alive?"
Uchiha Shuang supported her snow-white round chin with her hand boredly and asked curiously:
"So many years have passed, are you still so afraid of him?"
The Uchiha clan leader lowered his eyebrows and eyes, his tone cautious:
"When he left the village, you were only three or four years old, so naturally you don't know his terrible nature."
"If he is still alive now, sweeping the current Uchiha clan, no, even flattening the current Konoha is not a problem."
Uchiha Shuang raised her eyebrows, just wanted to speak.
But she looked abruptly at the closed door. The originally mature and beautiful aura instantly became extremely sharp.
A pair of Three Tomoe Sharingan was also revealed.
Seeing this, several other elders also looked vigilantly at the door.
Blood-red Three Tomoe Sharingan rotated constantly in their eye sockets.
Everyone's body tensed slightly, ready to attack at any time.
A few seconds later, a sound came from the closed heavy iron door.
"Knock knock, Lord Clan Leader and Elders, Lord Mikoto Uchiha and Lord Fugaku Uchiha are fighting for some unknown reason!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
They looked invariably at Uchiha Shuang's mature and beautiful face.
Uchiha Shuang frowned slightly, a trace of doubt flashing in her eyes.
She stood up elegantly, her snow-tender beautiful feet painted with bright red nail polish stepping on five-centimeter high heels toward the iron door.
Several others continued to look vigilantly at the iron door.
When Uchiha Shuang opened the iron door, revealing a young man standing behind the iron door.
The elders relaxed their vigilance slightly.
The doubt in Uchiha Shuang's eyes deepened.
She leaned her head slightly to look at the long passage ahead but didn't see a second person.
Seeing the familiar junior standing after opening the door.
The Uchiha clan leader's tense body also relaxed.
He had helplessness and puzzlement on his face.
"Strange, these two usually seem to get along quite well. Why quarrel? And even fight?"
A few minutes later, in the empty basement.
A pale-skinned humanoid creature emerged from the hard floor.
Black Zetsu murmured:
"It seems that the guy who can use Susanoo is not from the current Uchiha clan."
"But it is not ruled out that he hides very well, and even the current high-level officials of Uchiha can't find him."
"It seems we have to continue observing for a while."
After saying this, Black Zetsu just wanted to drill into the ground but suddenly widened his eyes and looked behind him!
Behind Black Zetsu.
A mass of sand appearing inexplicably in the basement and floating in mid-air attacked him rapidly.
"Wood Style..."
Black Zetsu formed seals with both hands, just shouting two words.
That mass of sand had already wrapped him firmly!
