Chapter 178
Phew!
Erase returned to his house.
By this time, the area had already been detached, the Anbu Shinobi were positioned around the perimeter, preventing the approach of the Konoha Shinobi, and Rin was still in a state of full combat readiness.
But inside the detachment, with the exception of Rin, Kakashi, and Kurenai, there were quite a large number of Shinobi wearing the Uchiha Clan's clothing, led by Uchiha Fugaku.
At this moment.
Uchiha Fugaku crouched and leaned over the sleeping Kakashi and Kurenai, three tomoe spun in his scarlet pupils, a soft stream of chakra gushed out and abruptly flashed twice.
After that, Fugaku straightened up and closed his eyes, when the eyes opened again, the three tomoes had already disappeared, then he turned his head to look at Yeruashi, who was standing nearby.
"I apologize, there were problems with the night patrol, so I decided to personally address this issue. I, as the Head of the Konoha Military Police, am ashamed of this...I helped them dispel the Genjutsu.»
Fugaku turned to Erase.
Erase nodded, "Thank you.»
The words about the Military Police were just an excuse. The fact that Fugaku appeared here with a large number of Uchiha Clan Shinobi, and forced the Anbu Shinobi to act only on the perimeter, is an act of marking the position.
Fugaku decided to play a game of chance.
The Uchiha clan is isolated from Konoha. After Minato becomes the Fourth Hokage, the power still remains in the hands of Hiruzen, so the situation does not change for the better.
Interfering with this event was a gamble. If Yeruashi loses, even if Fugaku uses 'acting as the Head of the Konoha Military Police' as an excuse and avoids direct responsibility, Hiruzen and the others will definitely increase the pressure on the Uchiha Clan.
If Erase wins, their situation must change for the better.
Now.
The return of Erase supposed to mean victory, he made the right bet in this game of chance.
"What happened?»
Fugaku sighed in relief and turned to Erase.
Yeruashi squatted down next to Kurenai and Kakashi, put his hands on their shoulders, and said, " Danzo is dead, and I don't interfere in Konoha's affairs from now on.»
Fugaku was stunned by the news of Danzo's death, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, he visibly stiffened: "Non-interference?»
"Yes, in each other's affairs.»
After seeing Kakashi and Kurenai, Erase stood up, looked at Fugaku and smiled: "This also applies to them, by the way...my house is destroyed, can Senior Fugaku help me with this?»
Hearing the words of Erase, Fugaku thought for a moment and smiled, understanding the hidden meaning of this request: "Ah, how can I refuse you? For the Uchiha Clan, it will not be difficult, follow me.»
Yeruashi turned to look at Rin, who was still in Sanbi Chakra Mode, and nodded reassuringly, " Rin, you can remove the Sanbi chakra and wake them up.»
"Good.»
Rin breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Eroiche came back pretty quickly, but for Rin this time lasted forever. At first, she was briefly left alone with Hiruzen and was surrounded by the Anbu Shinobi, and then the Uchiha Clan Shinobi, led by Fugaku, appeared and confronted the Anbu Shinobi, pushing them back to the perimeter.
The fact is that this time she faced not with enemies, but with representatives of the upper layer of Konoha, which gave a completely different feeling compared to being on the battlefield.
"...oh? What happened?»
Kurenai woke up and looked around in confusion, after a few seconds, she exclaimed in a dazed voice, " It was...Genjutsu? What happened?!»
"It's all right.»
Erase smiled: "But the house, unfortunately, was destroyed. To begin with, let's move to another place, a little later I will tell you what happened.»
Kakashi also came to his senses and looked around. Assessing the surrounding situation, he visibly tensed, roughly understanding what had happened.
He looked at Erase and confirmed their guesses, exchanging glances with him.
But he did not immediately ask questions, and quietly got up and followed Erase. Only after Fugaku had escorted them all to the Uchiha clan's territory and provided them with not-too-spacious but clean rooms, did he look at Yeruashi and ask: "This...Big brother, have they made a move against you?»
"Yes.»
Erase nodded: "But it's already over.»
Kakashi asked a little nervously: "Is everything all right?»
Erase smiled, sat down and said, "What could be wrong? I just swept away the dust that caught my eye.»
«...»
Kakashi said nothing.
He didn't know where this feeling came from, but hearing Yeruashi's words made him want to curse and grab his head.
"What's the situation and what about Teacher Minato?»
"Danzo is dead and the Root is completely destroyed by me, in addition, there was a short battle with Minato, from which I emerged victorious. From now on, I will no longer interfere in the affairs of Konoha, and the Uchiha Clan has sided with me.»
Erase in a few words, briefly described the situation as if it was something insignificant.
It seemed like it sounded trivial, but after receiving this information, Kurenai and Kakashi felt a strong shock, only after a while they hardly calmed down.
"Danzo made a move, wanting to get his big brother's power...the paths of the elder brother and the teacher finally parted...»
Kakashi lowered his head and whispered heavily.
Although he already had a premonition of this, but separating Yeruashi from Konoha and Minato still made him feel a complicated and heavy feeling, after all, he is in the middle.
"Big brother, then I will...»
Kakashi looked at his older brother questioningly.
If Minato and Erase will stand on different sides, and Kakashi will have no other choice, then he will certainly choose the direction of his older brother.
"As before, remain a Junin of Konoha.»
Erase looked at Kakashi and smiled, "Can nothing to worry about, follow your teacher...live as you have lived before. Minato and I just have different views, after everything that happened today, the conflict will never happen again.»
Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his older brother's words.
It ended much better than he had expected.
He had already assumed that in the worst case scenario, due to this conflict with the upper layer of Konoha, Erase would decide to start an active struggle for the post of Hokage, raising a huge wave of internal disagreements.
But fortunately, it seems that Minato and Erase do not intend to enter into an open conflict, Kakashi did not want Konoha to be consumed by the flames of internal differences. Although he was sorry that Minato and Yeruashi couldn't join forces, but in the current situation, it was safe to say that it had ended quite well.
