The conference room on the third floor of the Hokage Building is a place specially used to hold high-level meetings within the village.

The interior of the conference room was built with relatively solid stone walls and pillars, and the ground was paved with rare blue brick floors. An oval conference table was placed in the center of the conference room, and almost all family representatives had already taken their seats.

Under a stone sculpture engraved with the mark of fire, there are four chairs specially used for the seats of the Hokage and the elders of Konoha.

Mainly on the right side of the Hokage's chair are Sarutobi, Shimura, Hinata, Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka, family representatives or the head of the family. They represent the staunch pro-Hokage faction.

As for alienation or opposition, even the families who were directly neutral were arranged to sit on the left-hand side opposite. The only difference was that Uchiha's seat was placed directly in front of the Hokage's desk, as if it was specially protruded.

Same.

"…………"

The air in the conference room was eerily silent.

Each family just exchanged greetings for a while before the meeting, and almost no one spoke after they sat down. Everyone's expressions looked serious, and their positions were extremely clear.

At this time, people in the room vaguely heard a commotion outside the conference room, accompanied by the sounds of fierce fighting coming from far and near.

The sound was very noisy, and it seemed that many people were fighting and rushing to the conference room.

The people in the conference room concentrated on listening to the noise outside the door. It seemed that they vaguely heard the slogans of Uchiha and Konoha, and it seemed that two different groups were fighting outside.

The sound got louder and louder, making Hinata Hidaka, one of the representatives of the Hyuga family sitting in the second seat, a little uneasy and wanted to stand up and go out to take a look at what was going on.

Just now, the Hokage Building was attacked by an inexplicable explosion, and then the Sandaime sent someone to say that it was an accident, and the meeting continued as usual. What a damn accident! There is no one in the entire Konoha Village who can attack in the Hokage Building, and only

Only those Uchiha who could barely contain their rebellious intentions dared to do this.

Mentally worried that this place would turn into a battlefield, Hidaka decided to go out to see what was going on. But he didn't expect that just as he was about to stand up, Hidaka, who was closing his eyes beside him, suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at him, then gently

shook his head.

"Rigao, stay calm. Things outside have nothing to do with us."

Rizu did not say this sentence out loud, but used his eyes and slight body movements to express this meaning.

Hidaka was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked around.

No one spoke in the conference room, and the air was dead silent.

However, Rigao's sudden desire to stand up attracted the attention of others, who glanced at him with cold, emotionless eyes, mixed with various emotions of unknown meaning.

Hidaka's knees almost stood up, and then they bent down again.

Only then did the surrounding eyes disappear.

"Sorry, patriarch."

Rigao said softly.

Rizu nodded slightly.

Click!

Suddenly, the door to the conference room was opened. When the outdoor light came in, a man wearing armor and a thin figure behind him appeared.

The two people were standing in front of the door of the conference room, and behind them were dozens of Uchiha elites and ANBU directly under the Hokage, fighting fiercely. Their swords were unsheathed, as if a bloody scene would start in the next second.

At this time, outside the Hokage Building, hundreds of Uchiha Masahiro and the assembled Anbu and Root troops, plus some Konohagakure Jounin, were confronting each other on both sides of the street. Both sides were maintaining a certain degree of restraint and had no intention of starting a fight immediately.

The Uchiha side blocked all the four nearby streets leading to the Hokage Building. They were fully armed with various three magatama and two magatama Sharingan scanning the surroundings. Almost no one could resist this naked force of deterrence.

The civilians on the street have already stayed away from each other. Although they are not very clear about things in the ninja world, due to their natural sensitivity to danger, they can detect that on the streets of Konoha Village at this time

What a dangerous atmosphere spreads.

The Uchiha side surrounded the Hokage Building with murderous intent, and even sent nearly a hundred elites less than 5 meters away from the building. They faced tit-for-tat with the ANBU who appeared in various places around the Hokage Building with sharp blades.

And when the ANBU faced hundreds of pairs of scarlet rabbit eyes, it was a lie to be honest that they didn't panic. After all, how strong the Uchiha clan is in one-on-one combat, this has been proven time and time again by the corpses and blood of countless seniors. Uchiha

Bo can fight one against two with his eyes open, and Sanmagatama is the best among the best.

But fortunately, the ANBU's order is to guard the Hokage Building. As for the Uchihas surrounding this place, just don't provoke them for the time being.

As for whether I can get through today safely...

——————————

"Sorry, I'm late because of an accident."

Standing at the door, Uchiha Fugaku glanced coldly at the conference room, and finally settled on the vacant Hokage seat.

After realizing that the Sandaime Hokage had not appeared yet, Fugaku calmly walked towards his seat.

Now that Fugaku had taken action, Xia Nan, who was following behind, naturally followed him. In fact, the actions of the two of them attracted the attention of everyone in the entire conference room.

The former is the face of the Uchiha clan and almost everyone is familiar with it, but the black-haired boy following him... is the first time many people have seen him.

At this time, no one had thought of the boy's identity in a complicated way. He was just regarded as a follower or follower of Fugaku.

However, when Fugaku took his seat and the boy sat next to Fugaku generously, many people in the conference room immediately realized that something was wrong. This boy was not an ordinary Uchiha.

"Lord Fugaku, this is...??"

Kurama Judou is the Uchiha sect closest to the Uchiha clan, so as a die-hard supporter of Uchiha, Kurama Judou's seat is on the right hand side of Uchiha Fugaku, and the distance between the two is very close.

When Kurama Judō discovered that an Uchiha boy he had never seen before could actually sit next to Fugaku, he keenly realized that this was an unusual move and even a public signal.

"He is Uchiha Natsunan, the deputy captain of the Uchiha Guards. Now - he is my subordinate and second-in-command."

The Kurama clan is one of the few allies of Uchiha, and Uchiha Fugaku attaches great importance to willingness. Therefore, without waiting for Xia Nan to speak, he directly took over the conversation and explained Xia Nan's identity to Kurama Judao.

"Oh, that's it, it's Master Xia Nan."

Kurama Shidao looked at Xia Nan meaningfully, and then extended his hand in a friendly manner.

"First time we meet, I am the leader of the Kurama clan, the Ten Paths of Kurama."

"...Uchiha Natsunan."
