Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

Chapter 229 Jonin Meeting

It was sunny after the rain, and the sun hung in the sky early the next morning.

The Uchiha Clan's residence is also being cleaned up.

Facing the shocking scene, the cleanup staffs were a bit shocked.

'What kind of Ninjutsu that is capable to destroy this entire Uchiha Clan's residence?'

It's just that no matter how confused they are, there are some things they can't say.

Hokage Office Building, Meeting Room.

There are twenty Jōnin gathered here, these people are the top strengths of Konoha.

The Jōnin Meeting, including Hokage and the Elders, involved a total of twenty people.

It is a meeting that will only be initiated when a major decision-making event occurs in Konoha.

The last Jōnin meeting was held after the Kyuubi's attack eight years ago, about the reconstruction of the village.

Kakashi sat in the forefront, and next to him was the leader of the Jōnin squad, Nara Shikaku, who was also the village's advisor.

The Nara Clan has existed as Hokage's advisors throughout for generations. In every battle in Shinobi World, the Nara Clan's contribution to the plan was always important.

Therefore, although the Nara Clan's combat power is not strong, the attention they receives inside the village is no less than that of any of the big clan.

At the same time, the Nara Clan, the Yamanaka Clan and the Akimichi clan have been friendly for generations, and these three clans can be regarded as one family, which further aggravates their status.

Therefore, even when it comes to recommending a Hokage candidate, the Nara Clan has a certain right to speak.

"Shikaku-senpai, long time no see."

Kakashi greeted respectfully.

Shikaku is a person from the same generation as Minato, a senior of Kakashi, and one of the persons who got Kakashi's admiration.

"Kakashi, it turns out that you have come back. How is it? The outside world is wonderful, right?"

"Yeah, it's wonderful. I'm more and more envious of Jiraiya-sama."

"Jiraiya-sama? He really is free. I can't do it anymore, I have to work on a lot of things."

Shikaku complained.

Kakashi smiled and said nothing.

As the leader of the Jōnin squad, Shikaku does have a lot of things to do.

"Kakashi, long time no see."

A sudden voice sounded, and Kakashi turned his head to see that it was Hyuga Hiashi.

"Hiashi-senpai."

Hiashi nodded, and did not continue to speak.

Sandaime come in, and the meeting room has become quiet.

It didn't take long for the twenty seats to be filled. Sandaime, Danzo, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane sat in a row, sitting at the front, facing every Jōnin.

Sitting across from Kakashi was Fugaku. The two looked at each other, but they didn't speak.

"I believe everyone knows that the Uchiha Clan's member, Uchiha Itachi, has colluded with a mysterious man yesterday in an attempt to destroy the Uchiha Clan. Fortunately, Hatake Kakashi arrived in time to minimize the loss."

Everyone didn't have any surprised expressions when they heard this. They were all extremely powerful and prestigious people in Konoha, and naturally, they would not be ignorant of this matter.

"Uchiha Itachi will be listed as an S-Rank Rebel Ninja, and from now on, we dispatch Anbu to pursue him."

"Secondly, the Uchiha Clan's residence was destroyed and needs to be rebuilt, but the original location of the Uchiha Clan's residence was too remote. Therefore, it was decided to relocate the Uchiha Clan to the center of the village. Did anyone have opinion about this?"

Hearing this, Homura Mitokado and Utatane Koharu were both taken aback. Obviously, they did not expect that the Sandaime would make such an arrangement.

Danzo, on the other hand, stay silent and didn't say anything or showing angry expression at all.

Seeing this, the Jōnin are even more shocked.

And Fugaku's face showed a hint of joy.

The tension between the Uchiha Clan and Konoha is something everyone knows. The decision of Sandaime is to lift this tension between them.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but think about the pros and cons of this relocation.

At this moment, Utatane Koharu said: "Hiruzen, don't you need to think about this again? It's too sudden."

"No, I have already considered it. This is a good opportunity, isn't it?"?"

"Hiruzen…"

"Okay, no need to say that. Did any of you have opinions about this?"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one had any objections.

At this moment, the door of the conference room was knocked.

"Hokage-sama, the messenger of the Daimyo is here."

"Huh? The messenger of the Daimyo? Ask him to come in."

"Yes!"

Not long after, a middle-aged man in a kimono walked in.

"Hokage-sama, this is the secret letter from Daimyo-sama, please check it out."

Sandaime took it and opened it directly to read the content. The contents of the secret letter were reflected in his eyes, and his face could not help but change.

"You should go to the inn to rest first, and I will give you an answer tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you Hokage-sama."

The messenger left after hearing Sandaime's answer.

Sandaime lowered their heads in thought for a while, and then raised his heads to look at Uchiha Fugaku.

Feeling Sandaime's gaze, Fugaku was a bit tense.

"The content of the letter is that because of an incident, only two people are left from the Twelve Guardian Shinobi, and these two decided to retire, so the Daimyo hope Konoha sent some of their Shinobi to be the Twelve Guardian Shinobi. At the same time, the Daimyo ask that the people should be from the Uchiha Clan."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this!

The Twelve Guardian Shinobi, although it seems to be an insignificant position, it is an excellent position to have a good relationship with the Daimyo.

If it can be handled properly, fame or anything will not be a problem.

Fugaku was even more ecstatic when he heard this. After all, the status of Uchiha Clan would be more stable with this.

Kakashi was not surprised and his expression was plain.

This matter was originally planned by him and Shisui.

The purpose is simply to increase the value of the Uchiha Clan, and at the same time to make Konoha's top executives to pay attention to the Uchiha Clan.

Of course, it is also possible to cause high-level fears.

But this matter, on the whole, the benefits still outweigh the disadvantages.

Apart from other things, if there is no messenger from the Daimyo to come today, the matter of the Uchiha Clan's residence will not be solved so easily.

Utatane Koharu and Homura Mitokado obviously still have prejudice against the Uchiha Clan.

The request from daimyo cannot be rejected without a specific reason, even if it was the Hokage.

"In that case, Fugaku, could you send twelve Shinobi to follow the messenger to the city of fire."

Fugaku got up and said: "I understand."

"Okay, this matter is decided. At the same time, eegarding Uchiha Clan's residence relocation, if everyone has no opinion, it will be settled."

"Yes."

"Okay, then the meeting ends here!"

Not long after, there were only Sandaime, Danzo, Utatane Koharu and Homura Mitokado left inside the meeting room.

"Hiruzen, how can you let Uchiha relocated into the center of the village? Their coup intentions have not been investigated yet!" Homura Mitokado said angrily.

"Relax, the Uchiha Clan has given up the idea of the coup. Letting them relocate to the center of the village this time is also a policy of cherishing them, allowing them to let go of their previous prejudices."

"But the Kyuubi's attack has not been ascertained yet …"

"I have obtained reliable information about the Kyuubi's attack. The person who was with Itachi yesterday should be the man behind that incident."

"What? How did you know?"

"That is not important. Now Itachi, as Konoha's spy, will continue to monitor that man. Therefore, the Uchiha Clan must be treated preferentially. What's more, the Uchiha Clan is innocent. We have misunderstood them before."

"But…"

Homura Mitokado didn't know what to say for a while.

Utatane Koharu looked at Danzo, who had been silent, and said, "Danzo, what do you think?"

"This Old Man has no opinion about this. Just do as the Hiruzan said. This Old Man is tired, so goodbye."

Danzo finished speaking and left the meeting room.

"Danzo…you!" Utatane Koharu apparently did not expect Danzo to have such an attitude.

He knows that Danzo was the person who was most concerned about Uchiha Clan in the past, and his attitude today is a bit abnormal.

And Sandaime also frowned, feeling that Danzo is indeed a bit strange.

Is it because he told him to stop the Root's activity?

How could it be possible? Danzo is not a little kid so he won't be cranky about that.

"Since Danzo has no opinion, then I have no opinion about this either. Let's just follow what Hiruzen said," Homura Mitokado said.

"I have no objection," said Utatane Koharu.

"Okay, then we should go ahead with that plan."
