LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 55
Chapter 55 Uchiha Chiba: I will just watch you act quietly!
“Yes.”
Uchiha Fugaku nodded, stood up, walked to Uchiha Qianye’s side, protected Qianye behind him, and also expressed his attitude. Qianye was not surprised by this.
Fugaku is the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, and the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha is at a time when they are incompatible.
Although Fugaku said that he would not go to war with the entire Konoha for Qianye, he would definitely not just watch Qianye being dealt with by Konoha.
Otherwise, when the news gets back, the Uchiha clan will definitely be outraged, and he will no longer be the patriarch.
No matter what the final decision is, at least he has to pretend.
“So, does the Uchiha clan have to be the enemy of our Konoha?”
Danzo half-squinted his eyes, and there was already a hint of threat in his words. As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the whole meeting became tense.
Those present were all real big shots in Konoha Village. How could they not know about the conflict between Konoha and the Uchiha clan?
In fact, it was precisely because of the existence of the Uchiha clan that Konoha fell into a dilemma and had to sacrifice its face to seek peace.
Otherwise, with the reputation of Konoha as the number one village in the ninja world, even if the Fourth Hokage died and the Three Ninjas disappeared, they might not really be afraid of the Hidden Cloud Village.
It’s just that the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha has become more and more intense.
If the war with the Cloud Shadow Village is added, I’m afraid Konoha will collapse in an instant.
Now, Danzo openly questioned the Uchiha clan. Wave Fugaku, I wonder how Fugaku will respond?
At this moment, everyone’s eyes fell on Fugaku.
Fugaku appeared calm, cold and fearless, but in fact, there were some waves in his heart.
Qianye is a member of the Uchiha clan, he can’t turn a blind eye, otherwise he will lose his prestige in the Uchiha clan.
Even under the public outrage, it may directly arouse the conflict between the radicals and Konoha, triggering a war.
At that time, the situation will become completely uncontrollable.
This is something he absolutely does not want to see.
So he has to come forward now.
He is also betting that Konoha Village will not dare to go to war with the Uchiha clan when there is a strong enemy like Yunying Village outside.
Fugaku said:”Danzo, you are just one person, do you dare to represent the entire Konoha?”
“Do you think you can represent the Hokage?”
When these words came out, the eyes of everyone present flashed.
Back then, the Hokage dispute between Danzo and the current Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen caused quite a stir in the entire Konoha.
In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen won.
This matter has always been a knot in Danzo’s heart.
But at this time, Fugaku brought it up in public and ridiculed it.
With Danzo’s temper, how could he let it go.
He half-squinted his eyes, with a gloomy face, and was about to explode when he was stopped by the Third Hokage.
The Third Hokage looked at Fugaku and said lightly:”Patriarch Fugaku, I have a suggestion.”
“We are all the clan leaders and high-ranking officials of Konoha. Let’s vote together to decide this matter. How about it?”
Fugaku thought for a moment, then turned his head to look at Qianye and asked what Qianye thought.
Qianye nodded.
He didn’t care about these things at all.
He was not something that these people could control now.
He had the absolute strength to ignore all this.
The reason why he stayed in Konoha and endured all this was just for the fifth simulation.
“”Okay.”
Fugaku nodded and agreed to this.
At the same time, he was relieved.
Things finally did not develop to the worst.
“”Yes.”
The third generation stood up and looked at the clan leaders and Konoha’s high-ranking officials present.
“Do you have any objections?”
Everyone shook their heads.
As the third generation was preparing to speak and start voting, a weak voice suddenly came from the end of the meeting room.
“”Hokage-sama, can we…can we vote too?”
Everyone looked back, and it turned out that the one who spoke was a young Chunin.
There were several young ninjas beside her. They were
Uzuki Yugao, Yuhi Kurenai, Asuma, Hayate, and Might Guy.
Among them, except for Asuma, who was the son of the Hokage and was used to seeing these big shots, the rest seemed a little restrained.
After all, they were too young in both age and experience.
If they were not included in the facilities, such a meeting would not be accessible to them at all.
Others also regarded them as small transparent people and did not take them seriously at all. Unexpectedly, they would stand up and speak at this critical moment of voting.
The third generation looked at the few people in the corner and hesitated for a moment, and said:”Since you have participated in this meeting, of course you have the right to vote.”
Hearing that they also had the right to vote, Yuhi Kurenai, Uzuki Yugao and others had a flash of joy on their faces.
Yuhi Kurenai let out a long breath, trying to calm her mind as much as possible, and then said:”I don’t agree to hand Uchiha Chiya over to the Cloud Shadow Village!”
“I think what Qianye did was not only right, but also meritorious. It was the Kumokage Village that was wrong. How could we Konoha succumb to the Kumokage Village?”
Then, Uzuki Yugao and Might Guy stood firmly beside Yuhi Kurenai.
Asuma and Hayate were the only ones who did not vote.
This also made everyone focus on the two of them.
Might Guy next to him winked at Asuma and Hayate frantically. He didn’t understand why he was still standing there hesitating.
Qianye was their partner and teammate.
But Asuma and Hayate still stood there.
“Asuma, what about you? What will you choose?”
The third generation stared at Asuma and asked. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Asuma half lowered his head, his brows tightly furrowed because of his inner hesitation.
Others can’t see anything, but it doesn’t mean that he can’t see anything.
Most of those who advocate peace are close friends with his father, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and some of them can even be said to obey his father’s orders.
In other words, to resolve the issue peacefully and hand over Uchiha Chiya was actually his father’s intention!
But…
Uchiha Chiya… he… he was not wrong!
Asuma’s heart fell into endless entanglement. After a while, he raised his head and said word by word:”I don’t understand the so-called peace and sacrifice. I only recognize right and wrong.”
“I think Uchiha Qianye did nothing wrong. If I encountered the same thing, I would make the same choice as him.”
“Uchiha Qianye, you should not be punished!”
After saying that, he stood together with Yuhi Kurenai, Uzuki Yugao and others.
Following closely behind him was Hayate.
At one time, several young people made their choices, all supporting Qianye.
In this regard, those who advocated a peaceful solution to the matter could not help but feel unhappy. Are a few Chunin and Jonin worthy of voting with them?
However, they did not say much.
After all, this was the word of the Hokage.
Moreover, those children could not change the situation too much.
Qianye nodded secretly, and a few strands of warmth flowed through his heart.
They were not of high status and young, but they were willing to fight for this step for him.
Especially Asuma and Hayate���It was even more unexpected.
These two people have never gotten along well with him.
Now at this critical moment, they still withstood the huge pressure and stood on his side.
Asuma, Hayate… these two people are not without merit.
Konoha is not all foolish and cowardly, and only seeks pleasure.
It’s just a pity that with these corrupt senior officials, many people are destined to not be able to make a name for themselves.
The votes of several young ninjas did not cause much waves.
Soon, the rest of the people also began to vote.
They were much simpler.
Because what to say and what it meant had been made very clear in the previous discussions and debates, and there was no need to say it again.
Among the clan leaders and Konoha senior officials present, those who originally advocated war occupied the majority.
It was just that after Danzo, especially the Hyuga clan leader Hyuga Hiashi, spoke, many people present were shaken.
It also made this vote more suspenseful.
The voting was completed quickly.
Uzuki Yugao, Yuhi Kurenai and others carefully counted the numbers at the first time.
“1.2、……Twelve…Twenty-two……”
“One more! We have one more person on our side!”
Yuhi Kurenai said excitedly.
Uzuki Yugao and Might Guy beside her also had happy expressions on their faces.
The faces of the peace advocates on the other side were a little ugly.
At this moment, someone suddenly said,”Don’t worry, there is still one person who hasn’t voted.”
Everyone looked over and saw that the only person who had not expressed his opinion was sitting upright on the chair.���It was the Hyuga clan leader, Hyuga Hiashi.
Everyone present remembered Hyuga Hiashi’s previous speech, and they all knew clearly what choice he would make.
However, no one could have imagined that at the critical moment when Uchiha Chiye was about to escape, the person who pushed him off the cliff was actually the father of the person he saved.
This made the smiles on the faces of Uzuki Yugao and Yuhi Kurenai gradually disappear.
On the contrary, the peace-loving faction finally calmed down a little.
Don’t worry about whether you can win or not, at least you didn’t lose.
“”Hiashi, it’s your turn.”
The third generation said calmly.
Hyuga Hiashi stood up and walked forward step by step.
Everyone around was shocked.
Because he was walking in the direction of Qianye.
However, before they could fully recover, Hiashi made another move that surprised everyone present.
He bent down and bowed 90 degrees.
The head of the Hyuga clan, who had a very high status in Konoha, paid such a great tribute to a young man.
“Uchiha Qianye, thank you for saving my daughter. I should stand on your side.”
“But I have said before that even if I encounter the same thing myself, I will choose to die calmly!”
“For the sake of Konoha and peace, I can only apologize to you!”
“Sorry!”
After saying that, he stood up and walked to the side of the peace faction.
