People are in Konoha, panicking

Chapter 196 The Panicked Three Hokages

In the office of Hokage Building, the three generations of Hokage stomped back and forth in the office.

So much time has passed, but there is no news from Zhishui and his party, which makes him have a bad premonition.

"Did the mission fail? No, it's impossible. With Zhishui's strength, the mission cannot fail!"

Uchiha Shisui who owns the kaleidoscope sharingan, but has the strength beyond the general kage class, even if he is now, he may not be Uchiha Shisui's opponent.

He didn't think such Uchiha Shisui would fail against Uchiha Fugaku.

But what he couldn't figure out was that according to the time estimate, Uchiha Shisui should have encountered Uchiha Fugaku, and it was only right to complete the task and send the news back.

But unfortunately, no news was sent back, which made him very uneasy.

"Could it be that Uchiha Fugaku became alert, and instead sent the Uchiha family's elite ninjas to ambush Shisui?"

Frowning, he thought of a possibility.

Back then in Tanokuni, the reason Danzo failed to ambush Uchiha Fugaku was because Uchiha Fugaku became alert and secretly sent the elite ninjas of the Uchiha family to Tanokuni.

Today, the same will not happen.

Uchiha Fugaku realized that Uchiha Shisui would be bad for him, so he mobilized the Uchiha family's elite ninjas to ambush Uchiha Shisui?

Thinking of this, he felt more and more uneasy, and immediately said to Anbu ninja who was in charge of guarding outside the office.

"Go to the Anbu ninja who monitors the Uchiha family to confirm whether there is any change in the Uchiha family, and whether a large number of clansmen, especially those at the elite Jonin level, have left the village."

"Yes."

The Anbu ninja who was in charge of guarding outside the door got the order, and one of the Anbe ninjas left immediately and rushed towards the Uchiha family.

After a short while, the Anbu ninja returned, knocked on the door and walked into Hokage's office.

"How about it?"

The Third Hokage hurriedly asked.

"Everything in the Uchiha family is normal. Although some members of the clan have left the village, they are all accepting tasks normally. Several elite jounin, including the elite jounin Uchiha star who returned not long ago, are still in the village."

Reported by Anbu Ninjahui.

The Third Hokage breathed a sigh of relief, but the doubts in his heart became more serious.

The Uchiha family did not have a large number of elite ninjas leaving the village, which shows that the Uchiha family did not realize that Uchiha Shisui would be detrimental to Uchiha Fuyue.

Uchiha Shisui's strength is definitely enough to deal with Uchiha Fugaku, so why has Uchiha Shisui and the others still had no news after so long?

"Something must have happened!"

Taking a deep breath, he had a thoughtful look on his face.

There must have been an unexpected change, which caused Uchiha Shisui and the others to have no news for so long.

Thinking of this, he ordered again.

"Send three Anbu teams who are good at searching, and search along the direction of Daming Mansion, looking for the crow team that is going to perform the mission."

Anbu ninja responded and left quickly, rushing to the Anbu base below the Hokage Building.

Soon, from the Anbu base, three Anbu teams with a total of nine people quickly left the village and searched in the direction of Daming Mansion.

A few hours later, an Anbu team responsible for the search came to the place where Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui fought.

"There was a fight here!"

When they came here, the Anbu team stopped and their expressions became serious.

What appeared before their eyes was a vast forest glade.

Although Uchiha Fugaku and others erased the traces of the battle, this erasure only erased the traces left by their own ninjutsu.

For example, let the bone forest caused by the bone vein disappear, for example, let the ice remaining on the scene melt.

As for restoring this place to its original state so that no one can see that a battle took place here, that is impossible.

There is no way to restore the destroyed trees, rocks, etc., and the current Uchiha Fugaku is still unable to create a forest with a wave of his hand.

"Both sides in the battle are either extremely strong, or have a large number of people!"

Among the three, a middle-aged woman said solemnly.

The soil is still very fresh, with traces of being turned over, it was dug out from the ground.

Even incomplete plants and gravel can be seen, indicating that this vast forest clearing was not formed naturally, but was destroyed by man.

To be able to cause this kind of large-scale destruction, both sides of the battle must either be extremely powerful and have strong destructive power with a wave of their hands, or the number of people is so large that a melee with at least a hundred people took place.

"The traces left at the scene are very new, and the fighting time did not exceed six hours."

A male Anbu ninja wearing a cow-face mask grabbed a handful of mud, sniffed it and made a judgment.

"This place is on the way to Daming Mansion, and the battle lasted no more than six hours. One of the parties fighting here is probably the Crow Squad."

The middle-aged woman frowned.

"There was a battle, but no news was sent back to Konoha. The Crow Squad may have been... destroyed."

The last of the three was a man with a horse face mask on his face, said in a deep voice.

"How could it be, how could the strength of the Yicrow team be destroyed?"

The man in the cow-face mask was a little reluctant to believe it.

Crow is the code name of Uchiha Shisui, and the Crow Squad is the seven-member team led by Uchiha Shisui for this mission.

Among the team, the weakest person has the strength of a jounin, and Uchiha Shisui, who is the strongest, has the strength beyond the average kage class.

How could such a powerful terrorist team be wiped out without any news being sent back?

"Although it is indeed shocking, judging from the existing intelligence, this possibility is very high."

The man with the horse face mask said heavily.

"Send the message back!"

The middle-aged woman sighed.

Not long after, a letter hawk soared into the sky, and after flying high in the sky, it identified its direction and quickly flew towards Konoha.

……

In the afternoon, Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Wei, and Uchiha Hiroshi arrived at the Daming Mansion.

Against the Daimyo, they visit a family called Iwai.

Although this is an excuse, the Uchiha family did receive an invitation from the Iwai family located in the Daming Prefecture.

Usually, for this kind of invitation, Uchiha Fugaku would send a representative of the tribe, but this time he came in person in order to draw Uchiha Shisui out.

"Clan Chief Fuyue, welcome to come!"

The patriarch of the Iwai family is a fat-looking middle-aged man named Yoichi Iwai.

Knowing that this time, Uchiha Fugaku, who is the head of the Uchiha clan, came in person, he couldn't help but greeted him warmly with a smile.

"Chief Iwai, we haven't seen each other for quite a while!"

Uchiha Fugaku smiled.

Although the Iwai family is not a ninja family, it is a family with considerable power in the government system of the country of fire. Many of the families hold important positions in the government agencies of the country of fire.

He accepted the invitation of the Iwai family to come to Daming Prefecture this time, on the one hand to draw out the water of Uchiha, and on the other hand to maintain friendship with the Iwai family and pave the way for becoming Hokage in the future.

"Yeah, it's been quite a few years, please!"

Yoichi Iwai led the way with some flattered enthusiasm.

The Uchiha family is the number one ninja family in the Land of Fire, the most powerful in the Land of Fire, and being able to maintain friendship with such a family is very beneficial to the Iwai family.
