Chapter 76 Pointing a knife at Danzo, then verbally attacking him again—the ultimate in foul languag
"That's right, this is a good opportunity to win over the Hyuga clan!" Upon hearing that Kamizuki wanted to help the Hyuga clan, Fugaku immediately nodded, understanding that Kamizuki wanted to win over the Hyuga clan and change the Uchiha's situation in Konoha.
Considering that Shingetsu had just saved the Hyuga clan's eldest daughter during the day, if he could do her a favor again, it might indeed be possible to win over the Hyuga clan as an ally.
He immediately nodded in agreement.
The two then went to the Third Hokage's office.
Along the way, Shen Yue was afraid of attracting the attention of others.
They even found a white cloth bag and put Chloe's body inside.
Only then did he enter the Hokage Building with Fugaku.
……
The Third Hokage's office.
Just as the Third Hokage was about to go to sleep, he heard an urgent report from the Anbu beside him: Fugaku Uchiha and Kamizuki were requesting an audience late at night, and Kamizuki was carrying a large, adult-sized object wrapped in a white cloth.
"What are Fugaku and Kamizuki doing here so late at night? Could it be that something has happened to the Uchiha again?" Thinking of this, and considering Kamizuki's recent behavior.
He was instantly wide awake and hurriedly ordered someone to summon Fugaku and Shingetsu.
The office door was pushed open.
Shingetsu and Fugaku strode in, then closed the door behind them, acting all mysterious.
As soon as Shen Yue saw the Third Hokage, he immediately raised the white body bag in his hand.
"Good evening, Lord Third Generation. I've brought you something good; I guarantee you'll like it."
"Wait a minute, what are you carrying?" Upon hearing this, and seeing the white cloth bag that Shingetsu was holding high, the Third Generation felt a sense of foreboding.
However, when Shingetsu untied the white cloth bag and pulled out the dark-skinned, closed-eyed, and already stiff corpse of the Cloud Village envoy Chloe, the Third Hokage was completely taken aback.
His pupils contracted sharply, and he nearly dropped the pipe in his hand. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"Chloe, what happened to him?"
The Third Hokage suppressed his shock and asked Shingetsu and Fugaku in a deep voice what was going on.
"Fugaku! Kamizuki! What's going on?! Is that Kumogakure's envoy Chloe?! How did he die? Why is he in your hands?!"
"The Cloud Village envoy didn't bring much money with him to Konoha this time!" The Third Hokage subconsciously thought that Kamizuki might have been tempted by money and wanted to kill him.
"Third Hokage, it's not what you think!" Seeing that the Third Hokage had misunderstood, Fugaku immediately relayed to the Third Hokage everything that Kamizuki had told him—that the Cloud Village envoy Chloe had sneaked into the Hyuga clan's territory late at night with the intention of kidnapping Hinata Hyuga, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga main family, but was tracked down and stopped by Kamizuki, and then Hiashi Hyuga arrived in time and killed Chloe on the spot in a fit of rage.
"So that's how it is!" After listening to Fugaku's account and looking at the cold corpse in front of him, the Third Hokage's head was spinning even more.
The peace treaty was signed during the day, but that night, the Cloud Village envoys broke into the Hyuga clan's territory, kidnapped people, and were killed on the spot. If this matter is not handled properly, not only will the treaty be nullified, but it may also trigger a war between the two villages!
"This has blown up. We have to summon the group and the others. Oh, and Riji too, he has to come too!" He realized that the seriousness of the situation far exceeded his expectations and that he had to convene a meeting of senior management immediately.
He immediately sent people to summon Zangetsu, his two advisors, and Hiashi Hyuga.
Meanwhile, Fugaku and Kamizuki were also kept in the office by the Third Hokage.
Shingetsu gently stroked the hilt of the ninja sword on his back, seemingly about to make a move.
"Kamizuki, what are you doing? This is the Third Hokage's office. Remember not to go too far!" Fugaku said, though he didn't know what Kamui was up to.
However, he still quickly tried to persuade her.
"If anyone's blind in a moment, I'll just give them two stabs!" Shen Yue replied softly.
"Who would be so brain-dead as to provoke us here?" Fugaku clearly didn't believe Kamizuki's words.
The urgent summons in the dead of night made Danzo, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado realize the seriousness of the situation, and they quickly rushed to the Hokage's office.
When Danzo and his two advisors arrived, they saw Kamizuki carrying Chloe's corpse.
Chloe's signature Cloud Shadow attire and skin tone were so conspicuous that they recognized her at a glance.
Danzo's single eye swept over the corpse, then glanced at the calm-faced Shingetsu, the solemn-looking Fugaku, and the furrowed brows of the Third Hokage, several thoughts flashing through his mind in an instant.
He immediately launched an attack, his voice icy, his accusation directed at Kamizuki: "Uchiha Kamizuki! How dare you! You actually murdered the Cloud Village envoy and broke the peace treaty between Konoha and Cloud Village! You are a sinner who is dragging Konoha into war!"
"Hiruzen! What are you waiting for? Take him down immediately! The Cloud Village envoy died at his hands, the evidence is conclusive! He must be subdued immediately to give Cloud Village an explanation!"
"There really is!" Fugaku couldn't help but cover his face with one hand.
"Old Deng, what are you babbling about?" Upon hearing Danzo's words, Shen Yue didn't waste any more words and immediately took action.
The Sharingan instantly locked onto Danzo, and the ninja sword behind him was drawn again, its cold light slashing straight at Danzo!
His voice was equally icy: "Danzo, you old scoundrel! What else can you do besides frame others?! You want to arrest me? You'll have to get past my sword first!"
This sudden outburst instantly brought the atmosphere in the office to a fever pitch.
"Holy crap, they really did it!" Fugaku was startled, but immediately stood beside Shingetsu to show his stance.
The two advisors were also taken aback by this unexpected turn of events.
"How dare you make a move here? Do you think I can't beat you?" Danzo was also enraged and immediately prepared to retaliate.
Fortunately, the Third Hokage reacted quickly, his Vajra Staff instantly appearing and positioned between Shingetsu and Danzo. A powerful burst of chakra forcibly separated the two.
"Stop! Calm down, all of you!" he shouted sternly, temporarily quelling the conflict that was about to erupt.
"Danzo, I'll give you a chance to live today for the sake of the Third Hokage. You wait, if I see you again, I'll beat your hair bald!" Since a fight was out of the question, Shingetsu resorted to verbal attacks.
Its main selling point is its sharp tongue and foul mouth, providing the ultimate enjoyment.
"Shameless brat, how dare you insult me?" Danzo's eyes were filled with rage upon hearing Shingetsu's words.
"What are you looking at, One-Ear? I'm talking about you, Danzo!" Shen Yue's words were extremely venomous, showing Danzo no respect whatsoever.
"Damn it!" Danzo was so angry with Kamui that he kept turning over and over, wanting to retaliate, but after a long time, he found himself at a loss for words.
"You wait, you one-eared thug, don't leave later, see how I beat you up!" Shen Yue brandished his ninja sword.
"Pfft!" Even Fugaku, who was standing next to him, laughed.
Although what Shingetsu said was harsh, it felt so good.
At least it can break Danzo's defenses, and that's enough.
The Uchiha clan suffered greatly because they were too aloof and refused to argue.
