Naruto: the Uchiha Rules the World

On the Uchiha side, they said it was a discussion, but in fact, it was basically Rengoku alone making the decisions.

Although Fugaku and Kairen were somewhat puzzled by Rengoku's trust in Orochimaru, they ultimately did not refute Rengoku.

A person is noble when they have self-awareness, and Fugaku and Kairen did pretty well in this regard.

They weren't as smart as Rengoku, so at times like this, they just followed along.

After Fugaku and the others returned, they saw the place where Rengoku and Sarutobi's elite had fought.

That kind of disaster-level combat power shocked both Fugaku and Kairen.

After understanding the details of the battle, Fugaku also began to have thoughts of stepping down.

Strong combat ability, deep thoughts, far more reliable than himself as clan head.

In addition, Rengoku's prestige within the clan was currently at its peak. After this matter ended, the Uchiha would gain huge benefits.

It would also be a good time to hand the Uchiha over to Rengoku.

So whenever Rengoku made a decision, he and Kairen would unconditionally support it.

"These pieces of equipment are complete. We can build the most cutting-edge biological laboratory in the ninja world right here."

It was the first time Orochimaru had such an opportunity to reap benefits like this, and he wasn't polite at all.

He quickly listed the kinds of high-end medical equipment that were needed.

Rengoku took the list. There were over thirty kinds of medical equipment, densely listed.

He didn't understand any of it.

"All right, then I'll go to the Hyuga clan. Clan head, go wait for us at the Hokage's office."

Fugaku and the grand elder Kairen exchanged a glance, then shook their heads and said, "Rengoku, just take full charge of this matter. The grand elder and I won't go."

Rengoku gave a dry laugh, 'Looks like Fugaku wants to wash his hands of this now.'

But that was part of the plan anyway, "Fine, I understand."

———

Rengoku soon arrived at the Hyuga clan.

Hiashi and several other elders were already waiting for Rengoku.

They welcomed Rengoku inside.

Rengoku didn't exchange any pleasantries, and directly stated the Uchiha's demands.

He also made some suggestions to the Hyuga clan.

Hiashi and several elders had clearly discussed things beforehand, and their thinking coincided with Rengoku's.

After both sides reached a consensus, they went together to the Hokage's office.

[Hokage's Office]

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were looking down at the intelligence in their hands.

On the Kumogakure side, the Two-Tails jinchuriki, Yugito Nii, had already led a group of about fifty people into the Land of Hot Water.

On the other side, from Iwagakure, Kitsuchi had also brought fifty people, entering from the border of the Land of Waterfalls and advancing toward the Land of Fire.

After Uchiha elites took on a large number of missions from the black market, they headed toward the Land of Rivers.

Although Sunagakure and Kirigakure had no movement, no one could say for sure whether they had secretly dispatched people.

The Land of Rivers and the Land of Wind were adjacent. Why the Uchiha were sending people there, no one knew.

Koharu and Homura both looked a bit grim.

The Third Hokage spoke, "Given the current situation, we can only sacrifice Danzo and give some power to the Uchiha and Hyuga."

Homura said in a deep voice, "Hiruzen, think this through carefully. Be careful the Uchiha don't take a mile when given an inch."

The Third Hokage slightly nodded, "I know what I'm doing. This time, the probing actions from Kumogakure and Iwagakure, this is a crisis, but also an opportunity."

Koharu showed some concern on her face, "Hiruzen, and Danzo?"

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Hokage-sama, Uchiha Rengoku and Hyuga Hiashi have arrived."

The voice from outside made the Third Hokage, who was about to answer, close his mouth. Then he exchanged a glance with the two advisor elders.

The three of them had worked together for many years, so they naturally understood his meaning, and nodded.

"Let them in."

Not long after, Rengoku and Hiashi entered one after the other.

Seeing that aside from the Third Hokage, these two old coots, Koharu and Homura, were also present.

Rengoku looked at Koharu with a half-smile, since they had just clashed not long ago.

Koharu kept her composure, gave a cold snort, and turned her face away.

Rengoku glanced sideways at Koharu and Homura, "I don't want unrelated people here."

"Uchiha Rengoku! You…", This time Koharu couldn't suppress her anger.

Not to mention she was a consultant elder with the right to intervene.

Even if she didn't intervene, Hiruzen Sarutobi would tell her anyway.

Uchiha Rengoku's behavior was clearly just to disgust her.

The Third Hokage reached out to stop the two who were about to explode.

"You two step back for now. I'll speak to them alone."

Koharu glared fiercely at Rengoku. Rengoku turned his head, and his Mangekyo instantly opened.

The scarlet Mangekyo gave Koharu such a fright that she staggered.

If Homura beside her hadn't grabbed her, she would have fallen flat on her face.

"Uchiha Rengoku, we'll see about this!", After stabilizing herself, Koharu didn't forget to throw a harsh line, but Rengoku expressionlessly stepped forward.

She was so frightened she almost crawled out of the office.

Rengoku gave a cold snort, then shut the door with a bang.

The Third Hokage's face didn't show any emotion, as if nothing had just happened.

He even picked up his pipe and started puffing smoke.

Rengoku sneered inwardly, 'This old fox can really keep calm.'

But at this point, the Third Hokage also didn't beat around the bush.

"Rengoku, Hiashi, have you two thought it through?"

Rengoku held up three fingers, "First, publicly release all information about tailed beasts and jinchuriki to the entire village."

The Third Hokage looked deeply at Rengoku, "Agreed."

Rengoku wasn't surprised, he had already scattered paper slips all over the village.

Better to make it public than try to hide it.

"Second, publicly execute Danzo, and compensate us Uchiha for our losses."

The Third Hokage slowly shook his head, "Compensation can be discussed. Danzo cannot die."

Rengoku looked at the Third Hokage with a half-smile, as if he had already known the Third Hokage would protect Danzo.

"Then for compensation, I want these things."

Rengoku directly handed over the list Orochimaru had written to the Third Hokage.

With just one glance, the Third Hokage knew who wanted these things.

Though he didn't understand all of it, he did know these were rare, high-end medical instruments, "These items are very rare. We can't gather them all in a short time."

Rengoku held up three fingers, "Within three months."

The Third Hokage thought for a moment, "Fine."

Rengoku twisted his neck, "If you insist on protecting Danzo, then we Uchiha want Asazume Street and Kanro Street."

The Third Hokage's pupils shrank sharply, "You actually know about that?"

Rengoku snorted, "Kushina and Mikoto are close friends."

The Third Hokage coldly snorted, "Is the Uchiha clan really that short of money?"

Rengoku's face showed sarcasm, "Isn't your Sarutobi clan also short of money?"

Even without Kushina's five streets, the inheritance from the First and Second Hokage, the Senju clan's legacy, was that not enough?
