"Let us appud to express our gratitude."
He himself took the lead in cpping. The cn leaders attending the meeting, seeing the Third Hokage doing this, whether they admired the Uchiha cn leader in their hearts or those who hated the Uchiha cn leader, had to cp.
Not responding to the Third Hokage now would be opposing the Third Hokage, and they all still want to survive in the vilge.
Danzo gnced coldly at the Third Hokage and also cpped, but in his heart, he was disdainfu. 'What a hypocrite.'
The Uchiha cn's Fugaku and Ryosuke, seeing everyone present like this, couldn't figure out what the Third Hokage wanted to do. It was absolutely impossible to convene a cn leader-level meeting just to thank them, there couldn't be such a good heart.
The two from the Hyuga cn also remained calm. Hiashi had already told Hizashi about the traitor, that there might be a traitor among the higher-ups, and instructed him not to leak it.
So Hizashi was not very happy, but instead pondered which guy in the vilge wanted to harm their cn.
Danzo, the Third Hokage, and the other two advisory elders. These guys all have real power and can influence the peace talks. Although others are also suspects, they are not as big.
After half a minute, the Third Hokage stopped cpping. Everyone else also stopped cpping, and the Third Hokage slowly said, "Cn leaders, is there anything else you need to bring up at the meeting?"
The cn leaders present were all stunned. This sudden convening of a cn leader-level meeting.
They had no demands or anything to reflect on, only some cns had been approached by Danzo and must agree to the proposal he would bring up at this meeting.
But could they take the initiative to stand up?
Naturally, it's not difficult, even those cn leaders who hate the Uchiha cn would not act as the vanguard.
After all, the Uchiha cn has not yet been successfully removed from the guard duty, so they could be used as tools for revenge.
And it's still unknown whether Danzo can overthrow the current Uchiha cn.
You should know that the current Uchiha cn is at its peak. This meeting probably won't go smoothly, so they just need to py a supporting role and don't need to take the lead themselves.
Hearing this, Danzo cursed the old fox in his heart, making him speak first again. He would act as the hero protecting Konoha.
He took out a rge stack of documents from a bag on the right side of the ground and pced them on the table, then stood up and said, "I have something to say."
The Third Hokage nodded in agreement. "Then speak."
Those who knew the inside story were all looking forward to what Danzo would say next, to attack the Uchiha cn.
Danzo then slowly said, "I am very grateful to the Uchiha cn for their outstanding contribution in this war with the Hidden Cloud Vilge."
When he said this, he was also helpless in his heart. The Uchiha cn is really too strong now, he dare not attack directly, so he had to pave the way first, and then continued, "But my Root has received a rge number of letters reporting the Uchiha cn's guard team, so I propose to cancel the Uchiha cn's guard duty and have others take over. What do you think, cn leaders?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell silent.
Fugaku's face changed. 'This guy really wants to target our Uchiha cn again.'
He immediately stood up and scolded, "These are all snders. Our Uchiha cn enforces the w impartially and naturally offends many people. These people are just taking the opportunity to retaliate. Such compints want to revoke our Uchiha cn's guard duty, we cannot accept it."
Ryosuke, however, looked calm. In fact, he already knew that when the Second Hokage let their Uchiha cn take over the guard duty, on one hand, it was just to appease the Uchiha's heart and prevent them from rebelling.
On the other hand, it was also to make the Uchiha cn lose the people's hearts and conflict with other cns. Whether handled correctly or not, it easily caused dissatisfaction from other cns. In fact, this was indeed the case, and this was also the Second Hokage's open scheme.
From then on, the Uchiha cn could not step onto the position of Hokage.
In Ryosuke's heart, perhaps giving up this guard duty would make the cn more rexed.
But power is a good thing. If used, then you can use the name of the guard team to justify many things, such as detaining the Third Hokage's son.
If there was no power at that time, it would really be impossible to do, at least without a justified reason.
Without power, there is no justified reason. So it cannot be given up.
And how can the Uchiha cn live in Konoha without giving up such power? Without power, it is difficult to move, and to give up such power to others, then when they attack the Uchiha cn, what justified reason is there to resist.
This is a difficult problem to solve.
Danzo, however, sneered, "Maybe some people will take the opportunity to retaliate, but this thick stack. It shows how many people do not accept your Uchiha cn's judgment, which is enough to show that your Uchiha cn has serious problems in the management of the guard team. Just ask the cn leaders present to know."
Immediately, a small cn leader was ready to take action. Danzo has already taken action, they can naturally agree.
"The Uchiha cn's w enforcement really cannot convince people, I agree with Lord Danzo's idea."
"For the peace of the vilge, I also agree with Lord Danzo's opinion."
"I also agree."
More than a dozen small cn leaders stood up one after another, expressing their agreement with Danzo's proposal and opposing the Uchiha cn's control of the guard team again.
These people naturally included some who had been won over by Danzo, and another part who hated the Uchiha cn.
Fugaku saw so many people coming out to support Danzo's proposal, and his face was very ugly. Did he think that pulling in so many people would be useful?
"The authority of the Konoha guard team was given to our Uchiha cn by the Second Hokage. Do you want to viote your teacher's decision?"
Danzo, however, was disdainful. "Although it was the decision made by my teacher, the Second Hokage, but today, the situation has changed a lot. In fact, it has been proven that the Uchiha cn is not suitable for the position of the guard team, so it is naturally correct to cancel it. What do you think, Third Hokage, and the other two advisors?"
The other two advisors, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, along with the Third Hokage, are the most powerful people in the vilge. Only these three have the authority to stop the Uchiha cn's control.
Hearing Danzo's words, Fugaku sneered. It was the same st time. He thought that the Third Hokage and the other two advisors would stand up and say something fair in the face of Danzo's unreasonable trouble, but in the end, they still stood on Danzo's side.
Perhaps they had already communicated and wanted to suppress our Uchiha cn.
Such a statement is meaningless.
The Third Hokage looked at everyone present and first asked the other two advisors, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane.
"What do you two think?"
The two had already been informed by Danzo that after the Uchiha cn stopped the guard duty, the cake of the guard team would naturally be shared with them, which could further their power. They had no reason to disagree.
Both expressed their opinions.
"I agree with Danzo's proposal."
"I agree with Danzo's proposal."
Seeing that his two old friends also agreed, the Third Hokage slowly said, "Since the two advisory elders have agreed, then I naturally agree too."
As soon as these words came out, even some families who supported the Hokage faction changed their expressions and reacted.
They all followed and expressed their agreement.
"Our opinion is the same as the Third Hokage."
Among them were the Inuzuka cn and the Aburame cn, these families were firm followers of the Third Hokage.
Chōza Akimichi of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio was dumbfounded. 'Why is the Hokage targeting the Uchiha cn?'
'The Uchiha cn has just returned from a great victory over the Hidden Cloud Vilge, which is also a great merit. Why is there no reward, but instead, their guard duty is to be canceled? This makes no sense.'
Even if there are occasional disputes about their w enforcement, it is not enough to cancel it. Although he doesn't like this arrogant cn very much, their w enforcement has indeed brought stability to the vilge, unlike the previous chaos.
Shikaku Nara also had a wonderful expression. He didn't expect the Hokage to follow Danzo's rhythm.
This is clearly a high-level internal struggle.
Although he is not stupid, the smartest can only be Shikaku Nara, his decisions are almost never wrong.
Shikaku Nara was startled in his heart. 'The internal struggle has begun, actually at this time, isn't it too anxious? The Uchiha cn is currently at its peak, how could they accept such a proposal?'
'Such a proposal is undoubtedly cutting off the hands of the Uchiha cn.'
And at this moment, he also felt the gaze of the Third Hokage, sighed in his heart, it seems that he can only agree.
"I agree with the Third Hokage's opinion."
After all, the Third Hokage is the supreme leader of the vilge.
