Naruto: Dual System Power At The Beginning

"Let us applaud to express our gratitude."

He himself took the lead in clapping. The clan leaders attending the meeting, seeing the Third Hokage doing this, whether they admired the Uchiha clan leader in their hearts or those who hated the Uchiha clan leader, had to clap.

Not responding to the Third Hokage now would be opposing the Third Hokage, and they all still want to survive in the village.

Danzo glanced coldly at the Third Hokage and also clapped, but in his heart, he was disdainfu. 'What a hypocrite.'

The Uchiha clan'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 clan leader-level meeting just to thank them, there couldn't be such a good heart.

The two from the Hyuga clan 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 village wanted to harm their clan.

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 clapping. Everyone else also stopped clapping, and the Third Hokage slowly said, "Clan leaders, is there anything else you need to bring up at the meeting?"

The clan leaders present were all stunned. This sudden convening of a clan leader-level meeting.

They had no demands or anything to reflect on, only some clans 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 clan leaders who hate the Uchiha clan would not act as the vanguard.

After all, the Uchiha clan 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 clan.

You should know that the current Uchiha clan is at its peak. This meeting probably won't go smoothly, so they just need to play 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 large stack of documents from a bag on the right side of the ground and placed 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 clan.

Danzo then slowly said, "I am very grateful to the Uchiha clan for their outstanding contribution in this war with the Hidden Cloud Village."

When he said this, he was also helpless in his heart. The Uchiha clan 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 large number of letters reporting the Uchiha clan's guard team, so I propose to cancel the Uchiha clan's guard duty and have others take over. What do you think, clan 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 clan again.'

He immediately stood up and scolded, "These are all slanders. Our Uchiha clan enforces the law impartially and naturally offends many people. These people are just taking the opportunity to retaliate. Such complaints want to revoke our Uchiha clan's guard duty, we cannot accept it."

Ryosuke, however, looked calm. In fact, he already knew that when the Second Hokage let their Uchiha clan 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 clan lose the people's hearts and conflict with other clans. Whether handled correctly or not, it easily caused dissatisfaction from other clans. In fact, this was indeed the case, and this was also the Second Hokage's open scheme.

From then on, the Uchiha clan could not step onto the position of Hokage.

In Ryosuke's heart, perhaps giving up this guard duty would make the clan more relaxed.

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 clan 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 clan, 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 clan's judgment, which is enough to show that your Uchiha clan has serious problems in the management of the guard team. Just ask the clan leaders present to know."

Immediately, a small clan leader was ready to take action. Danzo has already taken action, they can naturally agree.

"The Uchiha clan's law enforcement really cannot convince people, I agree with Lord Danzo's idea."

"For the peace of the village, I also agree with Lord Danzo's opinion."

"I also agree."

More than a dozen small clan leaders stood up one after another, expressing their agreement with Danzo's proposal and opposing the Uchiha clan'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 clan.

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 clan by the Second Hokage. Do you want to violate 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 clan 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 village. Only these three have the authority to stop the Uchiha clan's control.

Hearing Danzo's words, Fugaku sneered. It was the same last 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 clan.

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 clan 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 clan and the Aburame clan, 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 clan?'

'The Uchiha clan has just returned from a great victory over the Hidden Cloud Village, 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 law enforcement, it is not enough to cancel it. Although he doesn't like this arrogant clan very much, their law enforcement has indeed brought stability to the village, 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 clan is currently at its peak, how could they accept such a proposal?'

'Such a proposal is undoubtedly cutting off the hands of the Uchiha clan.'

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 village.
