74 Meeting

Hokage Building.

This three-story building was the landmark of Konoha Village and also a symbol of power.

However.

The barrel-shaped building, the red-painted exterior wall, and the black cables wrapped around the building make it look like a huge...

The rice cooker.

"Dan, what are you looking at?"

Outside the big building, Fugaku saw his brother-in-law stop and could not help but ask.

Dan sized up Hokage's building and touched his chin with his hand.

"If I become Hokage, the first thing I have to do is to push down this broken building and rebuild a nine-story building. Then I will name it Heaven Guardian Pavilion. When the time comes, I will stand on top of it with a folding fan and look down on all living beings, calling myself Heaven Master."

When Fugaku heard this, his expression immediately changed and he hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Fortunately, there was no one else around.

"I was just joking, brother-in-law. I'm not interested in being Hokage."

Dan smiled. He was just casually saying it.

But the speaker had no intention, and yet the listener was thoughtful.

These words fell into Fugaku and Shisui's ears, causing their hearts to tremble.

Was Dan really just joking?

The three of them then entered the hall on the first floor.

A female ninja wearing a cat mask came up and bowed slightly to Fugaku,

"Captain Fugaku, Lord Hokage and Clan leader of the various clan are waiting in the conference room. You are the only one left."

Oh?

Isn't it not time yet?

Fugaku looked up at the clock on the wall. It was only half an hour away from the start of the meeting.

This group of people really couldn't wait.

Thinking of this, Fugaku sneered in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface. He said to Anbu,

"Then I'll have to trouble you to lead the way."

"Please follow me."

Anbu turned around and brought the three of them to the third floor. They passed through the corridor and headed to the conference room.

There was a special waiting room next to the conference room, which was prepared for Clan leader's guards and accompanying personnel.

Anbu reached out and stopped Dan and Shisui, signaling them to stop.

"Don't worry, I will clearly describe the collective will of Uchiha clan."

Fugaku said to the two of them, and then followed Anbu to the conference room.

Creak.

Dan pushed open the door of the waiting room, and a burst of noisy voices immediately came.

At a glance, there were really many people in the room, and there were more than thirty people in the rough count.

Then, according to the rule that one Clan leader could bring two followers, the number of people attending Clan leader's meeting next door, including Konoha's top management F4, probably exceeded twenty.

Does Konoha have so many clan?

Dan was slightly puzzled. There were only a few of the Konoha Ninja Clan that he had an impression of. Today, he had gained some insight.

There were a few sofas in the waiting room, but it was obviously not enough for everyone in the room to have a place to sit.

So.

They were all from big families and had high qualifications, so they sat on the sofa while the rest stood, chatting in groups or looking at the scenery outside the window.

"Make way."

As soon as Dan entered, he pushed open the crowd and went straight to the sofa in the middle of the room.

His eyes fell on a big fat man with long hair. There was a word "食" on the clothes of the latter, and it was obvious that he was a ninja of the Akimichi Clan.

"You take three people's seats by yourself. Do you have the nerve to do that? Get up quickly." Dan rushed forward and urged.

"You brat, what right do you have to criticize me?"

Akimichi Dōtō raised his head, looked at Dan's body with surprise on his face, and choked back, "You are not thinner than me, if I gave up my seat, aren't you ashamed to sit?"

The reason why he, Akimichi Dōtō, was qualified to sit on this sofa.

It was because he had participated in the third Ninja World War, and he was partners with the fourth generation Hokage, who had made great contributions in the frontline battlefield against Kumogakure.

Everyone in this room had to call him senior.

Seeing that the other party did not want to give up his seat, Dan directly reached out and pulled Shisui behind him over. He said to Akimichi Dōtō expressionlessly,

"Do you see this? This is a disabled person. He is not even willing to give up his seat for a disabled person. Do you still have the will of fire in your heart? Do you still have the nerve to call yourself Konoha Ninja?"

"Uh..."

Dōtō was speechless for a moment. He still wanted to say something, but only when the Nara Suzaku beside him pulled him did he stand up reluctantly.

He walked to the side.

Dan sat on the sofa, glanced at Shisui who was still standing there, and then patted the sofa. "Come on."

Shisui felt a little uncomfortable. After hesitating for a moment, he still sat down beside Dan.

This scene made the people in the room whisper.

"Is that tall and strong guy Uchiha Dan? I heard that he defeated Shisui and is now Uchiha's number one expert." Many people's eyes were attracted and fell on Dan.

"Hehe, Shisui is a person who has gained a reputation. He was only in his early ten years during the third war, but he killed a few Kirigakure ninjas on the battlefield, and he was boasted by the Uchiha clan. This Dan is said to be Uchiha Clan leader's brother-in-law. He is probably also a good guy." Some people were jealous.

"But then again, why are Shisui's eyes wrapped in bandages? Without Sharingan, wouldn't Uchiha be equivalent to a tiger with its teeth pulled out?"

"... "

The sounds of discussion continued.

Also.

After Dan and Shisui took their seats, an area was immediately vacated around them, and everyone consciously kept their distance and didn't want to get close to them.

On one hand, it was because Uchiha was not liked in the village.

Not to mention, everyone in this room knew that today's Clan leader level meeting was to punish Uchiha's clan and the police department.

Nara Suzaku lowered his voice. Looking at Duan's back, he whispered into Akimichi Dōtō ear,

"The Uchiha Clan won't be able to be arrogant for long. It's a pity that guy doesn't know. He really has no brain."

Ever since Shisui's eyes were dug out, his ears had become especially sensitive.

Therefore, when he heard the discussions of the crowd, he couldn't help but be very worried.

He was worried that Dan would beat up all the people here in a fit of rage.

He knew that Dan really had the strength to do so.

Fortunately.

Through his perception, Shisui found that Dan's breathing was very steady. It turned out that the latter had crossed his arms over his chest and entered a state of repose.

At this time.

In the conference room next door.

As soon as Fugaku entered the room, many sharp gazes were cast on him, causing him to feel great pressure.

It was like being surrounded by a pack of wolves.

And the leader of the "wolf pack" was undoubtedly Sandaime, who was sitting in the main seat.

The old man glanced at Fugaku indifferently. His gaze was deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.

In charge of presiding over this meeting was Hokage Assistant Danzo who was standing next to Sandaime.

Danzo held a cane in one hand and pointed to an empty seat in the banquet with the other. He said to Fugaku in a low voice, "Captain Fugaku, please take a seat. Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time."

That seat was the furthest away from the main seat and was close to a corner of the room. There was no one around, only a water dispenser.

It looked shabby and cold.

The intention of the people in the meeting to isolate Fugaku had reached an undisguised level.
