Danzo bent his fingers, feeling his own strength.
Once I deal with the thing inside my body, I will gain its power.
He turned around and stared coldly at the Hokage Rock in the distance.
Hiruzen, I will not let you get away with this.
Konoha Village.
Jiraiya had no way of confirming whether that "Number One" was Minato.
Because of that person named "Shingo Ikeda"
The men led the seventh squad out on a mission.
Jiraiya's group of 8170's probing plan all failed.
We had no choice but to put the matter on hold for the time being.
However, after rescuing Nagato and Konan, he suddenly had an inspiration.
He plans to write a new book while waiting for news from Nagato and the return of Shingo Ikeda.
But there was no news from Nagato.
Instead, news of the Hokage election reached his ears.
Moreover, this news was "accidentally" spread by Orochimaru's people.
It was revealed.
Jiraiya went out to inquire and learned the whole story.
This completely baffled him.
Although he knew the Third Hokage had some problems, he didn't expect them to be this serious.
He wondered if everyone had kept it from him before because of the Third Hokage.
Jiraiya couldn't sit still any longer and even stopped writing.
He needs more intelligence.
Chapter 256 Leaving Konoha? Uchiha Kawasaki Clan Chief!
at this time.
Uchiha Kawasaki invoked his authority as an honorary elder to request a meeting of Konoha's high-ranking officials.
Jiraiya was also notified to participate.
Hokage Building.
meeting room.
All the elders had gathered, and they were all speculating about what Uchiha Kawasaki was planning to do.
The election campaign has been going on for some time now.
Last time, Orochimaru suppressed all of the Uchiha's methods.
Judging from Orochimaru's methods, he was definitely much tougher as Hokage than the Third Hokage.
Although the three-way agreement had problems, Tsunade did not object at the time, nor did Kawasaki.
Many ninja clans are also looking forward to Orochimaru's cloning technology.
So no one questioned it, and everyone waited for Orochimaru to officially take office.
Now, Uchiha Kawasaki has suddenly convened a high-level meeting.
This left everyone completely confused.
If he was dissatisfied with Orochimaru, he should have brought it up long ago.
Instead of dragging it out until now.
All the other elders were present in the meeting room.
The Third Hokage and the Fifth Hokage were already present.
Jiraiya also sat down next to him.
He's never been interested in these kinds of meetings, but today he felt he had to come.
Kawasaki and Fugaku were the only ones in the room who hadn't arrived yet.
Hyuga Hizashi and Nara Shikago have already taken up the positions of advisors and elders.
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado retired, and power was quickly handed over.
There were no seats left for them in the meeting room.
It is worth mentioning that when the Akimichi family learned that Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado had been dismissed from their posts...
That evening, Akimichi Torifu passed away peacefully in a recliner.
The Akimichi family held a simple funeral, inviting some close relatives but not former teammates.
As for what conflicts existed between them, outsiders have no idea.
Kawasaki arrived almost on time.
Although I arrived just in time, I wasn't late.
Kawasaki came in alone; Fugaku didn't follow.
He walked to his seat but did not sit down.
Instead, they placed some scrolls on the table.
Some discerning elders discovered that these scrolls were official documents from other ninja villages.
These documents are of a very high level, and the information they contain is extremely important.
Everyone started talking about it, thinking that Uchiha Kawasaki was probably going to do something really big this time.
"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this meeting."
Kawasaki scanned everyone, his gaze lingering on Jiraiya for a moment.
"Now that everyone is here, that's even better."
"I invited everyone here to announce something."
Seeing that everyone was listening, Kawasaki took a deep breath.
"I am the head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Kawasaki."
"From this day forward, the Uchiha clan will secede from Konoha and develop independently!"
"Wow..."
Kawasaki's words were like a bombshell dropped into a lake.
The elders, who usually had calm expressions, suddenly changed their expressions.
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
It seems that no one knew about this beforehand.
Jiraiya immediately recalled the information he had received earlier.
He looked at the Third Hokage and sighed inwardly.
Old man, Kawasaki is after you.
The other elders all looked at Orochimaru, whose expression remained unchanged.
However, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had an unusually gloomy expression.
The Third Hokage whispered:
"Uchiha Kawasaki, are you guys planning to betray the village?"
Kawasaki asked in confusion:
"Traitor to the village? How can you say such a thing?"
Then, a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips as he said:
"Konoha was founded by our Uchiha ancestors and the Senju clan. We don't want to stay here anymore. Can you stop us?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, we can't call it Konoha anymore. The village should be renamed Sarutobi Village."
"Isn't that right, Third Hokage?"
Kawasaki spoke calmly, but every word he uttered was like a sharp sword piercing the other party.
The Third Hokage's face turned green with anger. This was supposed to be handled quietly, but who would have thought it would turn out like this?
Now that Kawasaki has laid his cards on the table, the matter is no longer a simple dispute as it appears on the surface.
This clearly indicates that they are going to part ways completely.
The third generation glared, furious, and didn't mention "Sarutobi Village" at all.
The matter was simply stated as follows:
"The Uchiha Kawasaki clan has never been able to establish itself independently after founding a village."
The Third Hokage's words make some sense, because the ninja world is a world full of secrets.
As part of the village, leaving so easily would inevitably lead to the leakage of a lot of secrets.
The village will also suffer significant losses.
The Uchiha clan is not incapable of independence; in fact, the Third Hokage even believed it was the best way to deal with Konoha.
But definitely not now.
Although a new Hokage has been chosen, he has not yet officially taken office and is currently in the process of handing over the reins.
Ultimately, the current Hokage is still Hiruzen Sarutobi.

His previous abuse of power had been exposed, but only the higher-ups knew the specifics.
