Upon hearing this, Kakashi's eyes widened involuntarily behind his mask.

No way, this old classmate wouldn't be that irrational, even though he was already known for his recklessness back in school.

"Is there any misunderstanding here?"

Ryosuke, instead of speaking to himself, addressed Kakashi.

"Go ask the people around you, and you'll find out the truth."

Kakashi looked around at the onlookers.

Immediately, a passerby came out and said something.

"This Uchiha clansman is right. Asuma attacked from the very beginning, so he was definitely aiming to kill. Even after being defeated, he still used such a large-scale ninjutsu."

"We can't let him off easily this time."

Fortunately, he wasn't injured by such ninjutsu, but he was still quite frightened.

Kakashi's face darkened when he heard what these people were saying.

Unfortunately, this is really a difficult situation.

They killed fellow village ninjas, even blew up streets, and injured so many people.

Either of these would be considered a serious crime.

However, as a member of the Hokage's Anbu, if he wanted to continue serving under the Third Hokage, he had to fight for this position, he said earnestly.

"Let's hand them over to our Anbu to deal with. I'm sure the Hokage will give you and these victims an explanation."

Ryosuke felt a surge of anger upon hearing this, his crimson Sharingan glowing red, its power piercing.

"It seems the Hokage's Anbu aren't very sensible either. Have you Anbu forgotten that the village's security is under the jurisdiction of our Uchiha clan? Even the Third Hokage can't interfere in our affairs."

Kakashi stared at the Sharingan radiating astonishing power and felt immense pressure. Was the other party planning to attack him? He pulled down the eyepatch on his left eye, revealing a red three-tomoe Sharingan to counter the pressure.

That made me feel a little better. Although what the other party said made a lot of sense, even the Third Hokage couldn't do anything about it.

But that was the Uchiha clan of the past. After the Nine-Tails' attack, the Uchiha clan no longer held such power.

Chapter 85 Betrayal for a Few Years

Ryosuke looked at Kakashi's left Sharingan eye; that must be Obito's eye.

Although it is a three-tomoe Sharingan, in reality it is already a Mangekyou Sharingan.

If he were to activate the Mangekyou Sharingan, its power would even surpass that of his three-tomoe Sharingan, but Kakashi is currently unable to do so.

He smiled and looked at Kakashi.

"Don't worry, I won't lay a hand on you. After all, I'm not Sarutobi Asuma."

“I know you are from the Hokage’s Anbu and naturally have to uphold the Third Hokage’s authority. However, our Uchiha clan is determined to handle this matter. If the Third Hokage has any objections, let him come and talk to our clan leader.”

Seeing how determined the other party was, Kakashi gave up on the idea.

He could sense that the other party's Sharingan power was incredibly strong, even surpassing his own three-tomoe Sharingan. He wasn't necessarily a match for the other party.

Moreover, if the secret agents and the guards fight each other in the village, the village will likely descend into chaos.

He couldn't bear the blame, so he turned around and left, heading straight to the Hokage's office.

This matter must be decided by the Third Hokage.

Inahisa, who remained where she was, felt a great sense of satisfaction watching Ryosuke so forcefully confront the Anbu.

Once upon a time, their Anbu would never have dared to step forward and lay a hand on the Uchiha clan like this.

“Ryosuke, then I’ll take Asuma back to the guard building and let the clan chief judge him.”

Ryosuke nodded.

So Inahime ordered several guards to tie up Sarutobi Asuma and bring him to the guard unit.

In the Third Hokage's office, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Asuma, was handling routine documents when Kakashi walked in.

"Is something wrong with Naruto?"

His previous task for Kakashi was to monitor and protect Naruto.

Kakashi shook his head and told the Third Hokage everything that had happened.

The Third Hokage's face grew increasingly dark as he listened, and he so angry that he smashed his pipe on the ground.

This Asuma is such a good-for-nothing; how could he make such a grave mistake?

I thought he had matured a bit and would become a talented person in the future, but I never expected him to cause even bigger trouble. He actually committed violence in the street and used the Fire Release: Ash Pile technique that I taught him to burn, destroying the street and harming the villagers.

How dare they act so recklessly? According to the Uchiha clan's regulations, such a crime should result in a sentence of more than ten years before they get out.

The Third Hokage's actions startled Kakashi. It seemed the Third Hokage was truly enraged, though it was unclear whether this anger was directed at Asuma or the Uchiha clan.

He didn't want to face the Third Hokage's wrath here.

"Third Hokage, I have finished reporting the matter. I will now return to protect Naruto."

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, simply waved his hand, signaling the other party to leave.

He was a bit out of control just now.

Sarutobi Asuma has truly disgraced his Hokage reputation. If he weren't his son, he would have supported severe punishment.

However, the Uchiha clan surprisingly refused Kakashi's request and handed the matter over to their Anbu.

Does the Uchiha clan really want to rise above him, the Hokage?

They even used his deceased mentor, the Second Hokage, to make a fuss. The despicable and evil Uchiha clan! They should know that he is now the Hokage.

If this matter were handled by the Hokage, there would be many ways to turn a major issue into a minor one, and a minor one into nothing at all.

All we need to do is shut those villagers up.

But now there's no way to do anything; it's too late to take action.

It's clear that the Uchiha clan is truly becoming powerful again. What exactly are these guys up to?

Inside the Uchiha clan guard building in Konoha Village.

After Uchiha Inahi imprisoned Sarutobi Asuma in a temporary jail, he found Captain Fugaku and Elder Yatsuho and reported what had happened.

Fugaku and Yatsushiro were both shocked when they heard Inahisa's report.

Yashiro knew that Ryosuke was a madman.

This guy actually captured Asuma, the son of the Hokage.

Although the other party committed a serious crime, Ryosuke was not injured, and the villagers were only injured. As long as the compensation is paid, it should be a minor matter. As long as no one dies, it's all a small matter.

He greatly admired Ryosuke's courageous actions.

He couldn't help but look at the clan chief standing to the side.

"Chieftain, how should this matter be handled?"

"Or what kind of crime should be punished?"

Since they've joined their guard unit, they should at least be sentenced. The concern is that the clan chief is too accommodating.

If they do nothing and let Sarutobi Asuma go, the Uchiha clan will likely be unable to explain themselves to the villagers and will also lose face for the Uchiha clan.

Fugaku, however, didn't give it much thought and remained calm.

He knows the future, so even if he captures the Third Hokage's son, there's nothing to worry about.

Under Ryosuke's leadership, the Uchiha clan will prosper and become stronger in the future, so he agrees with any decision Ryosuke makes.

He said calmly.

“Let’s punish him according to the Uchiha clan’s regulations.”

"He committed such crimes, including assaulting and killing people in the street and destroying Konoha streets to harm villagers."

"Eighth Elder, how many years do you think he should be sentenced to?"

The Eighth Hokage was quite shocked to hear this. Without the slightest hesitation, and without even consulting the Third Hokage, he made his decision.

"According to the regulations, attempted murder should be sentenced to at least 5 years, and damaging village streets and injuring villagers should also be sentenced to at least 5 years."

"That adds up to 10 years."

"But won't the clan leader reconsider?"

He didn't disagree with severely punishing Asuma, but Fugaku's behavior was so unusual that he couldn't help but ask one last question.

Fugaku replied immediately.

"No need."

"Then let's lock him up for 10 years."

Ten years seems like a long time; the young man will probably become an uncle by the time he comes out.

Just as I was thinking this.

The door to the guard team's conference room was open, and the Third Hokage arrived with several Anbu members.

Although this is the guard headquarters, one of the Uchiha's strongholds, and he, the Hokage, is at odds with it, given his own skills and the fact that this is the center of Konoha Village, if anything happens, it will definitely attract the support of the surrounding ninjas.
