Senju Tobirama’s residence.
Shimura Danzō and his group entered the courtyard.
That was what they said, but Hiruzen wasn’t wrong.
Arresting the Uchiha Hawk Faction was a major matter, and they indeed needed to consult their teacher.
If Tobirama-sensei didn’t approve, then he could only give up.
But for so reason, he felt their teacher would support his decision.
After all, he was the Hokage, wasn’t he?
"Why are you all here?"
Senju Tobirama, who was watering flowers in the yard, said without turning his head.
"Tobirama-sensei, I want to arrest the Uchiha clan’s Hawk Faction!"
Shimura Danzō didn’t waste ti and went straight to the point.
Senju Tobirama’s hand paused mid-watering, but quickly resud its normal rhythm.
"Specific reasons?"
"Tobirama-sensei, the Uchiha Hawk Faction has long been inciting the clan’s emotions, attempting to seize the Hokage position through a coup."
"Such behavior is utterly treasonous, so I intend to lead the Anbu to arrest the Uchiha Hawk Faction and throw them into jail for reflection!"
Shimura Danzō explained the entire matter from beginning to end.
Tobirama-sensei had been aware of the Hawk Faction’s issue during his tenure as Hokage.
Senju Tobirama put down the watering can, his gaze landing on Danzō.
After a mont of silence, he nodded in agreent.
"Danzō, there’s nothing wrong with your idea."
"It’s ti for the Uchiha clan to be given a proper warning."
During his years as Hokage, he never relaxed his vigilance toward the Uchiha.
Naturally, he knew about the Hawk Faction stirring up their clansn and plotting a coup.
Senju Tobirama had warned Uchiha Tanaka before, telling him to keep his clansn under control—yet the results were less than ideal.
So he chose to turn a blind eye.
As long as the Hawk Faction did not grow too powerful, the village couldn’t be bothered to intervene.
But that didn’t an the Uchiha Hawk Faction could unscrupulously discuss staging a coup.
Senju Tobirama could ignore the Uchiha, but that didn’t an Danzō could as well.
Since Danzō wanted to arrest the Hawk Faction, he naturally had no reason to refuse.
"I understand, Tobirama-sensei!" Shimura Danzō said seriously. "I will make sure the Uchiha Hawk Faction receives the punishnt they deserve!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was dumbfounded.
Tobirama-sensei really agreed with Danzō’s proposal...
What kind of joke was this?!
He couldn’t help reflecting on himself.
Was he really too indecisive?
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn’t recomnd targeting the Uchiha...
He knew the Hawk Faction had crossed the line, but he feared escalating tensions between both sides.
Overall, he wasn’t wrong.
The village’s peaceful developnt was more important than anything.
But seeing his teacher and Danzō’s exchange made him realize—
One cannot always compromise. Sotis, you need to strike back.
"Go, but rember—do not cause casualties."
Senju Tobirama patted Shimura Danzō on the shoulder and spoke softly.
"I understand, Tobirama-sensei." Danzō’s expression was filled with excitent.
After so many years, he could finally take action against the Hawk Faction.
The inherently evil Uchiha Hawk Faction must be properly disciplined!
Arrest them—arrest them all!
Let them understand that not just any stray cat or dog can covet the Hokage seat.
"Kid, go with Danzō."
Senju Tobirama’s gaze fell upon Renya, who had remained silent the whole ti.
With this kid present, he could definitely suppress the Uchiha.
A Mangekyō Sharingan wasn’t a joke!
"All right, old man." Renya agreed without hesitation.
Even if the old man hadn’t said anything, he would’ve gone just to enjoy the spectacle.
He couldn’t wait to see the Hawk Faction’s expressions when they got arrested.
With Tobirama-sensei’s support, Danzō beca energetic and confident.
He left the courtyard and waved his hand.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"
Countless Anbu hidden in the shadows instantly appeared at the gate, kneeling on one knee.
Danzō had long anticipated Tobirama-sensei wouldn’t refuse, so he had prepared manpower ahead of ti.
"Move out. To the Uchiha district."
With that, he stepped forward, leading the procession.
Renya and the others followed beside him, while the Anbu took the rear.
The mighty formation marched toward the Uchiha district.
Along the way, they drew the attention of everyone in the village.
Ninja and civilians alike stopped instinctively to observe, whispering among themselves.
"Where is the Hokage-sama going?"
"That direction... isn’t that the Uchiha district?"
"What happened?"
"Did sothing go wrong inside the Uchiha clan?"
"Shh! Don’t say nonsense! If the Uchiha hear you, you’re dead!"
...
Uchiha district, clan head’s residence.
Clan head Uchiha Tanaka was reading in his study.
At that mont, a clansman rushed in.
"Clan Head-sama, sothing terrible has happened!"
"What happened?"
Uchiha Tanaka frowned. For a clansman to be this flustered...
It had to be serious.
"Clan Head-sama, the Hokage is heading toward the Uchiha district with countless Anbu—they’ll be here any mont!"
"What?!"
Uchiha Tanaka shot up from his chair, his expression shifting rapidly.
He had no idea what the Uchiha had done to anger Shimura Danzō enough to mobilize forces like this.
But he didn’t dwell on it. He imdiately ordered the clansn to gather at the gate.
...
Uchiha district gate.
Not long after Uchiha Tanaka arrived, he saw the massive group of Anbu approaching.
The Uchiha stood as if facing a great enemy—the Hokage did not co with good intentions!
Among the crowd, mbers of the Hawk Faction grew excited.
As long as the Hokage dared to target the clan, they could incite the Uchiha to revolt!
This was an opportunity of a lifeti for them!
"Hokage-sama, what is the aning of this?"
Uchiha Tanaka’s expression was unpleasant, a fleeting trace of anger flashing in his eyes.
Bringing countless Anbu with such imposing force—he clearly didn’t take the Uchiha seriously!
"Uchiha Clan Head, your clan’s Hawk Faction has long been inciting rebellion."
"Their influence is extrely harmful—you should know this, shouldn’t you?"
Shimura Danzō said expressionlessly.
Uchiha Tanaka glanced aningfully at Uchiha Kagami, who stood across from him.
Facing his clan head’s gaze, Kagami lowered his head in sha.
"Heh... Hokage-sama, you must be mistaken."
Uchiha Tanaka smiled.
"The Uchiha clan is loyal to the village and loyal to the Hokage. We would never harbor thoughts of rebellion."
Renya: "..."
Why did this line sound so familiar?
Danzō and Hiruzen exchanged strange looks, subconsciously glancing at Renya.
Good grief. All Uchiha behave the sa!
That line was just as laughable as Renya being loyal to the daimyō.
"Mistaken? I don’t think so."
Shimura Danzō narrowed his eyes, his tone growing sharper.
"The Uchiha Hawk Faction has been stirring the clan for far too long."
"Do you think I know nothing, Uchiha Clan Head?"
Uchiha Tanaka said nothing. His face darkened. He didn’t expect the Hokage to bring this matter into the open.
Until now, both sides had always kept it unspoken—but Danzō spoke it outright.
He glared at Danzō, coldly saying:
"Hokage, what do you intend to do?"
