The Third Hokage nodded, feeling that Minister Inoue was still a sensible person.
"Then please take care of Asuma first, I have something else to do." Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and left.
"Of course, Hokage-sama is busy with work, just leave everything here to me." Minister Inoue looked serious.
In fact, it was just an act. Minister Inoue was the head of the medical department and had a lot of things to deal with. If the Third Hokage hadn't personally given the order, how could he be willing to spare time to take care of Asuma?
After exchanging pleasantries for three or four words, the Third Hokage turned and left, his face darkening as he walked towards Uchiha Obito's ward.
But I didn't expect that Uchiha Obito would have left the hospital long before Sarutobi Hiruzen arrived.
Uchiha Obito didn't suffer any injuries. Asuma just scratched his arm with a knife, but there were no other wounds.
Uchiha Obito is lonely and has no close relatives in the family. He is just a poor boy.
This is different from Hinata Matsuha. At that time, Hinata Matsuha was looked down upon by the family, but the subsidy was not reduced at all.
But Uchiha Obito is different. The Uchiha family has been looking for various excuses to reduce the amount of Obito's subsidy. Therefore, Uchiha Obito's life is very tight. How can he spend money in the hospital?
As soon as Uchiha Obito left, the Third Hokage was furious. Asuma was like this now, and Uchiha Obito just left like this. Who could bear to leave him alone?
The extremely angry Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, raised his legs and ran towards the Uchiha family.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was still wondering if the Uchiha family asked Uchiha Obito to do this behind his back. After all, he and the Uchiha family had a long-standing conflict.
Not long ago, the Uchiha family proposed to take charge of part of the Anbu's work, but Hiruzen Sarutobi refused. Is this an opportunity to take revenge?
No matter how you think about it, it feels very reasonable.
When the Third Hokage arrived at his destination, Uchiha Fugaku, the patriarch of the Uchiha family, and Uchiha Shi, the previous patriarch, had already led a group of people to greet him at the entrance of the village.
"Um, we heard that Lord Hokage came to our family specifically. I wonder what the purpose of this trip is?" Uchiha started to pretend to be stupid and deliberately asked Sarutobi Hiruzen.
This matter has caused quite a stir, and one of the protagonists is a member of the Uchiha family. How could he, the clan leader, not have heard of it at all?
"Obito Uchiha just attacked a peer of the same age in Konoha Village, causing a huge negative impact. I'm here to investigate." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked serious.
The two clan leaders exchanged glances and immediately understood each other's thoughts.
"But why is the news I heard different from what Hokage-sama said?" Uchiha Fugaku scratched his head.
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and immediately lowered his voice and said, "Is there something wrong?"
"I have already interrogated Uchiha Obito, and he said that Asuma was the one who made the move first, and that he was just acting in self-defense." Uchiha Fugaku said.
As soon as they heard about this incident, the father and son were fully prepared to protect Uchiha Obito.
This is not to say that Uchiha Obito is very important to them. This boy is notoriously poor in academic performance, and he has brought shame to the Uchiha family.
If they were to find trouble just because of this person, the Uchiha father and son would not be in trouble.
But things are different now. Uchiha Fugaku has just become the new patriarch of the Uchiha family, and there are still many people in the family who are dissatisfied with him.
The reason why there has been no rebellion or the like is simply because the previous clan leader is still alive, but Uchiha Shi cannot keep suppressing the situation.
During the Second World War, the Uchiha family fought against the Kumo ninjas, and unfortunately Uchiha suffered many serious injuries, leaving many sequelae. It is estimated that Uchiha would not be able to survive for many years.
Therefore, Uchiha Shi must plan the next step for his son.
Now that something like this has happened, it might be a good opportunity for them.
If Uchiha Obito is left alone, other members of the family will definitely make irresponsible remarks, and then Uchiha Fugaku, the new clan leader, will lose even more authority.
If Uchiha Obito is protected, the result will be completely different. If such a waste has to work hard to fight for it, then the rest of the family will definitely admire Uchiha Fugaku.
By then, Uchiha Fugaku will gain more hearts and minds, and won't his position be secure?
Even though this may anger Sarutobi Hiruzen, the relationship between the Uchiha family and Sarutobi Hiruzen has not become rigid for a day or two, and it doesn't matter if it breaks down a little more.
Sarutobi Hiruzen hasn't thought about the Uchiha family's little thoughts yet, and he doesn't have the time to guess.
"You said Asuma made the move first, why are you so sure?" The Third Hokage stared at Uchiha Fugaku with anger in his eyes.
"Someone of us took photos." Uchiha Fugaku took out a few photos and showed them to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly took it and found that Asuma in the photo had been following Uchiha Obito.
Even if Asuma was just following Obito Uchiha, whether or not he would take action was another matter, but the sneaky behavior of following someone else was very suspicious.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know what to say now. It seemed that he really couldn't deal with this kid Uchiha Obito.
If these photos were seen by others, and someone said something in a tempestuous manner, it would definitely have a bad impact on Naruto.
His own son is one of the protagonists. Even without these photos, as a father, Hokage-sama would still have to be criticized for his intervention in this matter.
If others see these photos, Danzo and others may use the topic to say that he is shielding Asuma and protecting the calf, and then there will be trouble.
Maybe Hiruzen Sarutobi won't be able to become the Hokage, and his reputation will become bad.
But how could Sarutobi Hiruzen be willing to just forget about you like this? The rest of Asuma's life will be ruined. With this kind of pain, he can only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
What will others think of Asuma if she says it?
Now everyone thinks that Asuma was hit on the head. If Uchiha Obito is really dealt with severely, then everyone will definitely think that Sarutobi Hiruzen was seeking personal revenge and abusing his power.
Now Sarutobi Hiruzen is a mute who eats Coptis chinensis and cannot express his sufferings.
Apart from facing Hyuga Matsuba, this was the first time for the Third Hokage to feel so aggrieved and panicked.
"Let Uchiha Obito come to see me. I have to interrogate him personally."
"If Asuma makes a move first, then I will leave. I don't care about the situation and the person, and I will not protect Asuma in the slightest." Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his temples.
"No problem, but I hope that the Third Hokage can conduct an objective and fair interrogation without using violent means. Our Uchiha family loves each other. If we are treated unfairly, our people will not give up."
Uchiha Fugaku also looked serious and did not give in at all.
As soon as these words came out, all the Uchiha clan members present silently admired him.
Facing the powerful Third Hokage, the Uchiha family shouldn't bow their heads and be so strong.
It is much better to have a patriarch with backbone than others.
Uchiha Fugaku's decisive and tough handling of this matter also gained a group of fans from passers-by, and many people looked at him with admiration.
