Hiruzen Sarutobi's old face broke into a smile.

"Let's discuss this together! Let's come up with a reasonable explanation for not allowing the Uchiha clan to hold the position of elder."

Upon hearing this, Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and Hyuga Hiashi all nodded in agreement and then began to discuss among themselves.

Hiruzen Sarutobi then stood up, walked out of the conference room, summoned an ANBU ninja, and gave him instructions:

"Go and inform the heads of all the clans that they will be having a meeting in the main conference room of the Hokage Building this afternoon!"

"Yes!"

The minor ninja nodded respectfully and disappeared from the spot using the Body Flicker Technique.

Hiruzen Sarutobi returned to the small conference room and began discussing matters with the three of them.

.....

"Whoo~"

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

The next moment, Rukawa opened his eyes, revealing a pair of deep black eyes that seemed to possess a certain charm that could almost make one fall for them.

Looking at his current body, Rukawa nodded, quite satisfied.

At this point, he had returned to a normal size from his original four-meter-tall muscular physique.

I'd estimate his height to be around 1.7 meters.

At this time, Rukawa had long, smooth hair.

His face is even more handsome, his skin is fair and seems to have a glow, giving people a very sunny feeling.

A slight smile is like a gentle breeze.

His overall appearance is like that of a transcendent cultivator, not a ninja.

Swish! !

Rukawa took out a white robe from his system inventory and put it on.

Dressed in white, her ethereal and otherworldly aura became even more outstanding!

Although he has lost his muscles, he looks weaker than before.

But that's not actually the case, as Rukawa could clearly sense. In this state, he was far more powerful and terrifying than his muscular self.

The physical defense has also improved by a level.

Indeed, the best things come in small packages!

Moreover, my control over my power has become much more precise!

Bang! !

Rukawa flicked his fingers, gathering power at his fingertips, and then suddenly launched them forward.

The next moment, an air bullet shot out and blasted a large hole in a wooden pillar not far away.

Then he gathered his strength in his palm and slapped it forward.

A terrifying gust of wind howled out, and the unfortunate wooden pillar, which had been blasted with a large hole, instantly shattered into pieces.

Seeing this, Rukawa smiled. It seemed that he had now mastered the skill of compressed air.

By simply focusing the power into a specific point on the body, one can unleash an air shockwave.

Its power is in no way inferior to an A-rank wind-style ninjutsu, and may even be stronger.

Moreover, the attack is instantaneous, making it impossible for the enemy to defend against.

"This form will be my exclusive battle form from now on."

Dressed entirely in white, let's call this form the 'White God Form' from now on!

Rukawa gave himself a domineering name in this state.

"In my White God form, I should be able to withstand Susanoo's attack with my bare body, right?! I need to find an opportunity to test it out!"

Thinking this, Rukawa pushed open the door and walked out of the Uchiha conference building.

The afternoon sun shone warmly on his face, and Rukawa couldn't help but take a deep breath.

This long-awaited sunshine feels so good!

"Senior, senior, you've finally come out! I almost thought you weren't going to emerge from seclusion today either!"

Fugaku rushed over in a panic.

"What's wrong?!"

Rukawa glanced at him and said indifferently.

Fugaku did not answer, but just stared blankly.

Rukawa's completely new look clearly stunned him!

'Wow...so handsome! Is this what Rukawa will look like grown up? He definitely looks like me!'

Fugaku thought to himself.

"You need something from me!!!"

Rukawa frowned.

Reminded by the stern tone, Fugaku immediately snapped out of his reverie and quickly replied:

"That's right, two hours ago, that old fox Hiruzen Sarutobi sent someone to inform me that I needed to attend a meeting to discuss the issue of the position of Konoha Elder!"

"Oh! What does that have to do with me?"

Rukawa acted as if it were none of his business.

"Uh...it's like this, I'd like to ask you to come with me, senior!"

Fugaku said somewhat awkwardly.

"What are you, the clan chief, good for? You make me deal with such a trivial matter?! Besides, I'm not good at arguing with a bunch of politicians!"

Rukawa reprimanded him without any politeness.

Fugaku wasn't annoyed by what he heard, since there was no one around and he was already used to it.

Still smiling, he said:

"I'm even less skilled at negotiation than my seniors! Every time I interact with Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, I get completely outmaneuvered."

Sigh~ I lost so many of the clan's interests at the negotiating table. I really am an incompetent clan leader!

"If it weren't for the help of our seniors, my Uchiha clan would probably have been wiped out!"

He first belittled himself, then boasted about Rukawa's achievements, before continuing:

"The senior's strength is formidable; his mere presence at the meeting is a powerful deterrent."

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others will definitely be much more restrained!

If you wish, senior, then the position of elder of Konoha is none other than yours!

After all, the contributions our predecessor made to Konoha are undeniable; I believe no one would object!

"Hmm! Since you're so self-aware, I'll go with you!"

"As for the position of Konoha Elder, I have no interest in it!"

Rukawa nodded and agreed.

Anyway, he didn't have anything else to do, so he just went to the meeting to see how politicians like Hiruzen Sarutobi were bickering!

"~Thank you very much, senior!"

Fugaku quickly thanked him and said:

"It seems I was narrow-minded. How could a mere elder of Konoha be worthy of your status as a senior?"

Only the position of Hokage is worthy of his seniors!

"Hokage?! Ha, I have no interest in being Hokage!"

Rukawa scoffed, showing no regard for the position of Hokage.

To put it bluntly, the Hokage is just a village chief!

Moreover, becoming Hokage is incredibly tiring; the Seventh Hokage Naruto in the original timeline is a prime example.

Naruto, who became Hokage, is definitely a guy with kidney deficiency!

Therefore, Rukawa really doesn't understand why so many people aspire to the position of Hokage.

Could it be that the Will of Fire's brainwashing ability is too powerful?!

"You don't even care about the Hokage position? Senior is indeed a senior!"

It seems the senior's level and aspirations are indeed beyond the comprehension of us frogs in a well! I admire them greatly!

Fugaku looked at Rukawa with admiration and frantically flattered him!

The position of Hokage was something the Uchiha clan dreamed of.

Unexpectedly, Rukawa completely disregarded this.

As expected, ants cannot comprehend the thoughts of giants.

"Ha! What an exaggerated performance, so boring! Let's get going!"

Rukawa walked ahead expressionlessly.

"hey-hey!"

Fugaku chuckled twice and quickly followed.

They had only taken two steps when a sharp shout suddenly reached their ears.

"Stop! You can't leave!"

Whoosh! !

A sound broke through the air,

Uchiha Itachi suddenly appeared in front of the two, blocking their path.

"Itachi? What do you think you're doing?! Don't be ridiculous! My senior and I are on our way to a meeting, get out of my way!"

When Fugaku saw that it was his eldest son blocking the way, he immediately scolded him sternly.

"I'm sorry, Father! I cannot obey your orders this time!"

Itachi bowed slightly to Fugaku, then looked at Rukawa and said coldly:

"You saved the Uchiha clan, and I am very grateful to you! But, one thing is one thing!"

"My younger brother, Uchiha Rukawa, where did you take him?! Did you (Qian Lehao) kill him?!"

"answer me!"

Itachi stared intently at Rukawa, his eyes icy cold!

As a brother-obsessed individual, he doesn't care about any Uchiha savior; he only cares about his younger brother!

"How dare you speak to the family's savior like that!"

Besides, a powerful figure like the senior wouldn't stoop to killing a mere brat!

When the time is right, our seniors will naturally tell us everything.

Itachi, listen to me, stop being unreasonable! Apologize to your senior right now!

As long as you sincerely apologize, and given your seniority, they will forgive your rudeness!

Before Rukawa could speak, Fugaku preemptively reprimanded Itachi.

He was afraid that Rukawa might kill Itachi in a fit of anger!

Therefore, Itachi is required to apologize to Rukawa immediately.

However, he clearly underestimated the persistence of someone who is obsessed with their younger brother.

"Answer me! What exactly did you do to my brother, Rukawa?! You're not moving an inch until I get an answer!"
