Chapter 119 Respective Reactions

Fugaku closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had ordinary black eyes.

Fugaku sighed and said, "These two eye techniques are a gift from Chongyan with his life."

"If I had known Fudou Neng at that time, my earth flow wall would not have been destroyed by the explosion..."

"If I had Daito Noben, I could have guessed the counterattack of Kirigakure before leaving..."

"The Eyes of Soul Reflection are worthy of their reputation. The ability of these eyes seems to reflect my regret at that time."

Che also felt it was magical that the ability of these eyes was actually related to the emotions when they were opened.

Fugaku's face was full of fatigue, as if he had aged a lot in an instant. It felt that the tear troughs on his face were deeper, and his regret was beyond words.

Seeing this, Che left tactfully, leaving Fugaku alone in the tent to calm down.

The news of the great victory on the eastern front was brought to Konoha by Shikaku.

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen specially convened an emergency meeting for this matter. The only participants besides him were his three old friends, Shimura Danzo, Mito Kado En and Utatane Koharu.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wore the Hokage hat and held his pipe in his mouth, but he didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing that no one spoke, Shimura Danzo said with a gloomy look: "Sarutobi, I said not to let Uchiha participate in the war."

"It's too late to regret now."

"The performance of Uchiha on the eastern front this time was unexpected, and it actually made Uchiha's reputation in the village soar. Now Uchiha is even more difficult to control."

"If I had known this, I should have listened to my advice..."

Shimura Danzo wanted to say something, but Utatane Koharu interrupted Danzo's words.

"Okay, Danzo, we are not here to listen to your complaints."

A gleam flashed under Mizuto Kado En's glasses, and he said in a deep voice: "The Uchiha clan must be recalled because the village's defense is empty and needs to be strengthened."

"What should we do with Uchiha Che? He is not a member of the police force, but he played a big role in this war. It's not easy to deal with him."

Utatane Koharu mentioned Uchiha Che, the biggest hero of the Eastern Front War.

Mizuto Kado En pushed his glasses, and said confidently: "Promote him to the command level and let him go to the Rain Country."

"Rain Country?" Utatane Koharu looked at Mizuto Kado En.

"Yes, that is the battlefield of Iwagakure and Sunagakure. Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Salamander Hanzo are all in this complicated situation. It is expected that he will not be able to stir up any waves there. Just let him be quiet for a while, and his fame and limelight will naturally pass."

Mizuto Kado En expressed his thoughts.

Danzo Shimura was very dissatisfied with this: "Hmph, you are so smart. What if Uchiha Che takes this opportunity to make another contribution? Wouldn't it be more difficult to control him?"

"The Land of Rain is full of good and bad people. No matter how strong he is, he is just a teenager. What kind of storm can he stir up? Besides, we just don't give him enough troops." Mito Kado Yan was very confident in himself.

"I think it's better to send Uchiha Che to the most dangerous battlefield and kill this kid when the opportunity arises. Otherwise, he will sooner or later become a headache for Konoha." Danzo Shimura's idea was even more sinister.

Danzo had no good feelings for Uchiha Che, and coupled with his vigilance against Uchiha, he had already included Che in the list of threats in his heart.

"Danzo, you are going too far. After all, Che is a ninja of Konoha..." Sarutobi Hiruzen finally spoke.

"I am just continuing the will of the second generation and eliminating threats for Konoha." Danzo spoke righteously, as if he was a partner of justice.

"No need to say more, I have decided to recall the Uchiha clan to consolidate the defense of Konoha Village, order Uchiha Che to command the Rain Country, take a 500-man army to the Rain Country, and guard the gateway to the Fire Country."

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately announced his decision.

Mito Kado En and Utatane Koharu had no objection.

Shimura Danzo said angrily: "You will regret it, Sarutobi."

"Danzo, I am the Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a calm tone, then stood up and turned his back, looking at the Konoha Village outside the window without saying a word.

Shimura Danzo was frustrated by the word Hokage again, and immediately slammed the door and left.

Mito Kado En and Utatane Koharu conveyed the order on behalf of the Hokage.

The news soon spread to the east.

Shikaku announced the Hokage's order on his behalf.

"Fugaku, this is the Hokage's order, I..."

Shikaku thought Fugaku's reaction would be very intense. After all, Uchiha was recalled just after making contributions to Konoha, and he didn't even get any reward. This was simply killing the donkey after it had done its work and destroying the bridge after crossing the river.

However, Fugaku accepted the order very calmly.

"It's okay, I will take the Uchiha people back tomorrow, and I'll leave this to you."

Fugaku patted Shikaku's shoulder and said.

Shikaku glanced at Fugaku's hand on his shoulder, then looked at Fugaku and said, "I don't want to see Uchiha being treated unfairly, I will appeal to the Hokage."

Fugaku let go of his hand and said, "No need, protecting Konoha is the Uchiha's duty, and the Hokage did the right thing."

Shikaku nodded, said nothing, and turned to find Che.

Just met Che outside the tent.

"Che, this is your transfer order."

Lu Jiu handed the transfer order to Che and said, "You are now the commander of a group, so you should act more prudently."

Che took the transfer order and smiled, "Don't worry, Teacher Lu Jiu, I'm not a child anymore."

Shikaku felt relieved after hearing this, and then he said, "The fight in the Rain Country is mainly between Sand Village and Rock Village. We in Konoha should not get involved. We don't seek merit, but we seek to avoid mistakes. You know... Uchiha has been closely watched recently."

Shikaku left after saying this.

Che looked at Shikaku's back and thought, "Teacher Shikaku, which side will you stand on..."

Che was stunned for a long time, then turned around and entered the tent.

Fugaku was sitting with his head raised, his left eye closed, and bloody tears flowed.

Che stepped forward and handed over a piece of paper. Rokugan saw that Fugaku's pupil power had been consumed.

"Captain, were you using the Daito no Ben just now?"

Fugaku wiped away his tears and blood, opened his bloodshot left eye, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yeah, I didn't expect that after using it several times, the burden would be so great, and my vision felt a little blurred."

"What did the captain see with this eye?" Che asked

"I saw the destruction of Konoha, and the two of us became traitors, hahahaha." Fugaku suddenly laughed at himself, completely unlike the usual Uchiha Fugaku.

But soon, Fugaku's expression became a look of loss of soul.

"I deduced the future in which we took advantage of the empty defense of the village to launch a coup, and the result was what I just said, all the clansmen died, only we could survive, and then the other four major countries saw the change in Konoha and collectively destroyed Konoha."

"I deduced several times, and the best result was the annihilation of the Uchiha."

"Che... Is the Uchiha really destined to perish?"

Fugaku covered his eyes and asked with a painful face.

Che's reaction was very calm, saying: "Captain, the future you see may not be true."

"I will change the fate of the Uchiha."
