Zongman: Starting with the Samsara Eye, I Became the God of Ninja World

"You two shouldn't be standing, come and sit down!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi pointed to two spots.

Those were the two seats at the very end of the long table.

Looking at the two seats at the very end of the long conference table, Fugaku's face immediately darkened, and he frowned, saying:

"Third Hokage, what do you mean by this?! My Uchiha clan is the number one clan in Konoha, how can you assign me to the lowest position?"

Is this a deliberate attempt to embarrass the Uchiha clan?!

"Hey~"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, looking utterly helpless, and said speechlessly:

"Fugaku, it's just two seats, it's such a trivial matter, why make such a big deal out of it?!"

I never intended to embarrass the Uchiha clan.

You only have yourself to blame for this.

"Who told you to come so late? Since you're late, you naturally have to sit at the back!"

After a pause, Hiruzen Sarutobi patted the armrest of his chair and said seriously:

"If you had arrived first, you would have been the one to sit in my seat, and I wouldn't have said a word!"

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, you're trying to fool me! Do you think I'd believe your nonsense?!"

Fugaku's face turned completely ugly.

He looked at the clan leaders sitting on both sides of the long table, whose seating arrangement was basically based on the size of their clans.

How could it be that whoever arrives first has the right to choose their seat first?

Hiruzen Sarutobi was just being nosy after all, only offering hindsight advice because he was late.

Sitting at the back of the long table were members of a minor ninja clan from the village, who were not considered respectable.

Making him, the most powerful clan in Konoha, sit with these small ninja clans—wasn't the real purpose to embarrass him?!

..... .. ...

"Hey~"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed again, his tone even more helpless.

"It's just a seating arrangement, isn't it? As the head of a ninja clan, you're making such a big deal out of such a trivial matter. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

So, Fugaku, take my advice: there's no need to make a big deal out of this trivial matter.

"Sitting there isn't really sitting; please take your seats and get the meeting started. Don't waste everyone's time!"

Fugaku gritted his teeth in anger, while Hiruzen Sarutobi, with his kind old grandfather demeanor, made it seem as if he were the one making a fuss.

But this was clearly a trap set by the old man to embarrass him!

He was about to speak again to refute when his arm was grabbed. When he saw it was Rukawa, his face lit up with joy, thinking that his senior was going to stand up for him!

But what Rukawa said surprised him greatly, and his brows furrowed deeply.

Rukawa said calmly:

"That old man is right. It's just a seat. There's no need to act like a little kid and argue about such a small thing!"

"This...senior?!"

Fugaku looked at Rukawa, who had a calm expression, and was greatly puzzled.

"Yes! The perspective of the strong is different. They never take such trivial matters to heart like you, Fugaku."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly, suddenly realizing that Rukawa was a reasonable person and wouldn't argue with him over such a trivial matter!

Just as he was thinking this, Rukawa suddenly appeared beside him.

what? !

Hiruzen Sarutobi was startled and instinctively tried to escape, putting distance between himself and Rukawa.

Before he could turn his idea into reality, a strong hand grabbed his shoulder.

"Since you say it doesn't matter where you sit, then please go sit in the back!"

After Rukawa finished speaking, he forcefully swung his arm and threw Hiruzen Sarutobi away as if he were throwing away trash.

Suddenly, everything spun around him, and the scenery in front of him was upside down. Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly realized that he had been thrown from his seat.

My heart was filled with rage.

However, while he was in mid-air, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

Then she quickly adjusted her position to ensure she landed safely on the ground, avoiding a humiliating fall.

"Uchiha Rukawa, what do you mean?! Why are you attacking me, the Hokage, for no reason?!"

Once he had regained his footing, Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Rukawa with a livid expression and demanded an explanation in a stern voice.

"Didn't I just tell you? Since you said it doesn't matter where you sit, I guess you'll have to sit at the very back!"

Besides, I didn't lay a hand on you; I just politely asked you to leave.

"You don't have a single injury on you right now, isn't that the best proof?!"

With that, Rukawa plopped down in the spot where Hiruzen Sarutobi had been sitting.

He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and looked completely relaxed.

The head seat is definitely different; it's made of sofa material, making it much more comfortable to sit in.

Upon seeing this, all the clan leaders present kept their eyes down, their faces expressionless, as if they hadn't seen anything.

Having witnessed so many times how the Third Hokage was defeated by Rukawa, they were already used to it.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was so angry he was itching to get closer, and his old face was contorted with rage.

He considered taking action, but after thinking about the disparity in strength between the two sides, he quickly dismissed the idea.

If things really come to blows, he'll only get beaten up.

There's no way I can get my Hokage seat back, Sen.

Chapter 67 I, Rukawa, call the shots! A domineering sweep! The entire audience is shocked!

But to expect him, a Hokage, to sit in the last position.

It's impossible for him to sit with a bunch of low-ranking ninja clans.

So Hiruzen Sarutobi came to Homura Mitokado's side and said with a serious expression:

"Men Yan, I'll have to trouble you to move aside!"

Since the Hokage's seat had been taken, he had no choice but to step down and sit in the seat of a Konoha elder.

In this way, he managed to salvage his reputation as Hokage.

Upon hearing this, Mitomon Homura frowned, but then glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He decided to give his old friend face and offered him his seat.

Mitokado Yan stood up and looked at his next seat.

Following the example of the third generation, he said with a serious expression:

"Chief Rizu, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to move aside."

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Hiashi glanced at Mitokado Yanagi, who had put on a stern face.

After thinking it over, since they were allies on the same front, they decided to give each other face.

Hiashi Hyuga stood up, looked at Shikaku Nara sitting in the next seat, his expression instantly turning serious, and said in a deep voice:

"Shikaku, I can only trouble you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Rukawa's gentle voice.

"You're rolling your eyes. You're too close to me. Seeing you annoys me. Get out of here and don't make me take action."

Hiashi Hyuga's face instantly turned ashen. He abruptly turned to glare at Rukawa, biting his lip as if to say something.

But he still held back from saying a word.

She secretly cursed Rukawa for being petty.

They still remember the Hyuga clan even now; they really have no sense of magnanimity whatsoever.

"Aren't you going to get out of here?!"

Seeing that Hiashi was still standing in the same spot, Rukawa frowned.

"Hmph! The Hyuga clan is flexible and adaptable; we would never wage war over such a trivial matter!"

Hiashi Hyuga snorted coldly, then raised his head and strode towards the back of the long table.

At this moment, Fugaku was still standing alone.

He turned his gaze to "August 23" Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The third generation had a frosty expression. Rukawa's strength far surpassed his, and he could barely accept being kicked out of his seat.

But you, Fugaku, are both Kage-level, and you want to do what Rukawa did? Just wait and see if Hiruzen Sarutobi dares to make a move!

"Ugh! What a hassle. It's just a seat, as long as I can sit down, why make such a fuss!"

At this moment, Nara Shikaku scratched his pineapple-shaped hair and stood up with a helpless expression.

"Fugaku, you sit here with me, I'll go sit in the back!"

"Thank you!"

Fugaku thanked him, sat down, and did not refuse.

After two twists and turns, everyone was finally able to take their seats safely.

However, after the two twists and turns just now, no one spoke at this moment, and the conference room was unusually quiet.

It was originally Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was the Hokage, who spoke first.

However, at this moment, he had a sour face and looked like he didn't want to talk to anyone.

But that makes sense; the purpose of holding this meeting in advance was to scheme against the Uchiha.

But now, not only did the Uchiha not anticipate this, they also lost one member.

Even he himself was humiliated and forced off from his seat.

The plan that had been devised beforehand was completely ruined by Rukawa's arrival.

In this situation, it would be a miracle if Hiruzen Sarutobi was still in the mood to speak!

After about ten minutes, Fugaku, unable to contain himself any longer, finally broke the silence.

"Ahem! Senior, may we begin the meeting now?"

He coughed lightly, turned to look at Rukawa, and asked for instructions with a respectful expression.

Rukawa glanced at Fugaku and said calmly:

"Don't ask me. I'm just here to listen in. You don't need to ask for my opinion on anything you discuss. Feel free to speak your mind..."

Furthermore, I have absolutely no interest in the content of this meeting, so just pretend I don't exist!

'hehe!!'

Upon hearing this, everyone maintained a blank expression, but inwardly they all chuckled.

Are you here to sit in on the conversation?

But who sits in the head seat when they're just observing a hearing?!

Fugaku ignored the unspoken criticisms of the crowd and went straight to the point:

"The main matter I want to discuss at this meeting is the vacancy of the position of elder of Konoha, isn't it?!"

After he finished speaking, no one answered. Fugaku didn't seem to mind and continued:

"However, an unexpected situation just now occurred. It was suddenly discovered that Elder Koharu Utatane was colluding with Danzo. The evidence is conclusive, and Elder Koharu Utatane has now been executed on the spot."
