Early the next morning.
The chaos that occurred in the center of the village was known to everyone in the Ninja Village. The villagers and the ninjas who knew about the incident were filled with indignation towards the Kumo ninja messenger who caused the chaos.
The Kumo ninja envoy who brought peace was witnessed attacking villagers, which made people doubt Kumo Gakure's sincerity in signing the peace agreement.
In addition, a rumor was also circulated in the village. It seemed that the village's senior officials wanted to take action against the Uchiha who protected the civilians in order to appease the anger of the Kumogakure envoys' adults.
In order to escape the war, Kumogakure requested that Konoha become a slave state.
Although these rumors sound very ridiculous, they undoubtedly arouse the anger in the hearts of the villagers. They cannot be sure of the authenticity of the news, but they will prevent the above things from happening.
The Land of Fire is one of the largest countries in the ninja world. As a member of the Hidden Leaf Village, they also have their own pride.
After hearing the rumors, Sandai's face darkened, and he quickly sent ANBU to stop the rumors from spreading.
But it was obviously too late. After the rumors spread, if he tried to compromise, he would have to face huge pressure from the bottom, which would even lower his image among the villagers.
The source of the rumors has not yet been found out, but Sandai already has several speculations in his mind.
The most likely reason is the news spread by Hinata and Uchiha. In addition, it is not ruled out that other ninja villages may interfere. After all, by maintaining the war between Konoha and Kumogakure, the interests of other ninja villages can be maximized.
After pondering carefully for a long time, Sandai still couldn't think of a good solution.
At this time, the ANBU walked into the office, appeared in front of the third generation, and said: "The third generation, the Kumogakure envoys asked to see them, and they came to ask for an explanation with excitement..."
The third generation said with a tired look: "Let them come in."
Half an hour later, facing the threatening attitude of Kumogakure's envoy, Sandai could only do his best to comfort him.
Although the Kumogakure mission flatly denied the fact of attacking civilians and demanded that the murderer of the leader be handed over, otherwise the validity of the peace agreement would not be guaranteed.
After sending away the Kumogakure delegation, the Third Generation quickly summoned all the ninjas related to yesterday's incident.
Not long after, the third generation summoned all relevant personnel in the conference room, including the heads of the Hyuga and Uchiha clans, the Kumogakure envoys, and even the shop owner who was attacked by the Kumo ninja leader.
As soon as he entered the conference room, Rizu glanced at the Kumogakure envoys, and then focused on the third generation and the elders.
"Sandaime-sama, do you want to discuss the incident where the little girl was kidnapped by Yunyin last night?"
Hinata Hinata's tone was filled with anger. If he hadn't been warned in advance, his daughter Hinata might have been kidnapped and even lost her life.
At this time, Uchiha Fugaku was also on business, took out a report, looked at the Kumogakure envoys and read:
"The police team compiled the list of casualties and property damage reports overnight. I hope your village can compensate as soon as possible."
Fugaku actually didn't want to get involved in the matter between the Kumo ninja and the village, but since his own ninja clan was involved, Uchiha couldn't stay out of it.
Moreover, Oto and Shisui's status within the clan is not low. Although the number of radicals they belong to is small, they all have at least the strength of a chuunin.
The Hyuga and Uchiha clans took the lead in attacking, catching the Kumogakure envoys by surprise.
Just when the Kumogakure envoys wanted to refute, the third generation coughed a few times and looked at Hinata Hizashi and Uchiha Fugaku.
If leader Yunyin is not dead, there is nothing wrong with proposing these conditions, there is room for negotiation.
But when he died, no matter what the cause of death was, he died in Konoha during the negotiations. The other major ninja villages would only believe the side they saw that was beneficial to them.
Yun Ren, who took over the position of leader, stood up with an extremely ugly look on his face:
"Is this Konoha's attitude towards this matter? Our captain died in Konoha and we still want compensation. We will report this to Lord Raikage right now!"
Danzo, with one eye exposed next to him, said: "Kumo Ninja, this is Konoha, don't be too presumptuous!"
"Presumptuous?" Yun Ninja made a move to leave the conference room and said: "You are not enough to kill the captain, do you want to leave the entire envoy in Konoha?"
"Danzo!" Sandai looked at Danzo with cold eyes.
Danzo's move was to provoke Kumo Ninja and make the situation more serious.
Hizu and Fugaku were stunned when they heard the news of the death of leader Kumogakure, and looked at the Kumo ninja and the third generation opposite.
Wasn't the leader of Kumogakure taken away by ANBU? Why did he die suddenly?
Hyugazo and Uchibo looked at each other, they had anticipated this last night, and it was all Kumogakure's conspiracy.
Under the gaze of everyone, Sandai could only say slowly: "Last night, the messenger did die. The cause of death was suicide..."
Before Sandai could finish speaking, Kumogakure's envoy jumped up and said angrily: "It's impossible for the captain to commit suicide. I also ask Hokage-sama to hand over the murderer, so as not to embarrass and anger us anymore."
In the conference room, the third generation was not allowed to smoke, so he had to scan the conference room with his eyes.
It would be great to be able to hand over a ninja who willingly sacrificed himself and bring peace between the two countries for more than ten years. However, rumors have spread in the village that he compromised and betrayed his own ninja.
If he really acted like this, he would probably lose his majesty.
On the other hand, the murderer the mission requested to be handed over was Uchi Boeing.
Uchi Bo was one of his ANBU, and he once made great achievements in the Kumogakure battlefield under the code name of Black Cat.
He is also the leader of Uchiha and the bridge between the village and Uchiha.
He himself has considerable influence both in Uchiha and among the villagers.
Last night, he also rescued the heir of the Hyuga family. With such a difficult identity, he couldn't say anything about handing him over.
Sandai's silence made the conference room silent, and he attracted everyone's attention.
Only he, the Hokage at the top of the ninja world, can truly decide the next trend.
Danzo has been looking at the Third Generation with interest. He has no intention of doing anything. He just needs to wait quietly. No matter what decision the Third Generation makes, he will definitely lose his prestige and even be forced to step down.
And once the third generation steps down, he can nominate himself as Hokage and realize his long-cherished wish.
After scanning for a long time, Sandai's eyes finally fell on Uchibo. When he couldn't make a decision, he needed someone else to make a proposal, and all he had to do was lend a hand.
But neither Danzo nor Koharu and Yan took such action.
Hinata Hizashi and Uchiha Fugaku wanted to say a few more words to break the silence, but were stopped by Hinata Zou and Uchiha Fugaku.
Uchibo's eyes stayed on the third generation for a long time.
Then in full view of the public, Uchibo stood up and said, "Sir, I am willing to take responsibility!"
Hearing these words, Sandai breathed a sigh of relief.
The rest of the people just looked at Yin who stood up in surprise. Being able to stand up at this time showed that his awareness of the village was higher than they imagined.
Looking at everyone around him, Uchibo said: "Since Kumogakure hurts the villagers I protect, I am willing to become a group of fighting ninjas in the war with Kumogakure."
