Chapter 23

"Is the matter clear?"

Just when a group of people went to the Chūnin exam venue, An Anbu ninja came to Sarutobi Hiruzen silently.

"Reporting."

The Anbu ninja nodded and said in a respectful whisper: "It is not Shirakumo Hayama who spread the slander Uchiha, but a few root members."

"Danzo?"

Hearing Anbu's report, Sarutobi Hiruzen's brows wrinkled: "What the hell is he going to do…"

The Anbu member shook his head, he did not have such detailed information.

"Go back."

Seeing that the reason is unknown, Sarutobi Hiruzen waved to Anbu.

He was going to ask Danzo in person for a while to see what he was doing.

"Wait!"

Just when Anbu nodded and was about to leave.

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly said again: "Go to Konoha Hospital and find some medical ninjas."

Although the competition between Hayama and Uchiha has three rounds, they are not the hairy children of the ninja school.

Both sides control various ninjutsu.

To be on the safe side, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided that it is necessary to do some medical preparations.

In order to avoid accidents, rescues can be made in time.

"Yes!"

The Anbu member nodded respectfully again, and the 'swish' disappeared.

A group of people flocked to the venue of the Chūnin Exam.

There are more and more curious people on the way, and the team of eating melons is getting bigger and bigger.

Soon,

The number of melon-eating people that entered the Chūnin exams venue increased.

For a while, the streets leading to the Chūnin exam venue were all blocked.

The level of excitement is as if a summer festival is being held.

…

Uchiha compound.

In the courtyard of one of the Uchiha Elder's homes.

"What? Can you say it again?"

An elderly man with a white beard and crutches.

With a dumbfounded expression, he stared at Uchiha Fugaku who was standing before him.

Hearing that the elder wanted to say it again, Uchiha Fugaku could only tell the truth:

"Eikō and Yuuto took five companions to find Shirakumo Hayama."

Uchiha Fugaku just finished speaking,

A report that pulled the elder's voice suddenly came in from outside the courtyard.

They saw a young Uchiha, rushing into the courtyard with an anxious face, and almost fell on the threshold.

"Report… report to the Great Elder!"

(E/N: The author really did just add a 'Great Elder' in Naruto as if it's a wuxia novel -_-)

When he rushed to the old man, the young man had not even calmed his breath, so he hurriedly reported.

"Eikō and Yuuto found Shirakumo Hayama, and they challenged him in a seven to one. There were hundreds of onlookers at the scene, and Lord Hokage has already been alerted…"

"What!!??"

The great elder turned around, and the hands holding the cane trembled crazily.

There is no patriarch in the Uchiha clan at this moment.

Therefore, everything needs to be reported to the great elder, and the great elder is now acting as the patriarch.

(E/N: What happened to Fugaku's clan head status...?)

"Great Elder!!"

Seeing the old man exclaimed, his body suddenly fell backward and Uchiha Fugaku hurriedly rushed up with his eyes and hands, holding on to the elder who was about to fall.

"Dear God… Young ones these days are going to kill me…"

After being held on, the elder screamed mournfully, with some old tears in his eyes.

The discord between the Uchiha clan and the high levels of the Hokage Government began to sprout early in the Second Hokage period.

Today, the relationship between the two sides has almost reached the extreme.

Unexpectedly, at this time, these ignorant juniors would dare to do such rampant things in Konoha.

He also made the matter so much worse that hundreds of people watched, and even surprised the Hokage…

"Elder, don't be too excited."

Seeing that the old man was a little out of breath, Uchiha Fugaku quickly patted him on the back and helped him smoothly, saying: "We have a chance to be saved now!"

"Yes! Yes, yes!"

Hearing Fugaku's words, the elder hurriedly reacted and said anxiously:

"Quickly, stop them, don't let things ferment anymore."

After speaking, he still felt very uneasy.

So the elder pulled Fugaku's arm and stood up by himself: "No, it's better for this old man to go personally…"

"Elder, don't go, leave it to me!"

Fugaku hurriedly grabbed the staggering elder, for fear that his old man would walk around indiscriminately and get out of trouble.

"You let go of me, I will go personally!"

The Grand Elder threw Fugaku's arm away.

With a cane, he walked out of the courtyard with difficulty.

"Eh..."

Looking at the stubborn Grand Elder, Uchiha Fugaku sighed helplessly, then stepped forward and carried him on his back.

Otherwise, at the pace of the great elder, when the scene arrives, the day lily will be cold.

…

[Prestige +1…]

[Prestige +1…]

[Prestige +1…]

As more and more curious people joined the army of melon-eating people.

Hayama's prestige value is also increasing in a 'swish'.

When the group of people walked to the Chūnin Exams venue, the number of people eating melons had reached as many as five or six hundred.

Among them are some of Konoha's famous ninjas, such as the fathers of the next twelve Guardian Ninjas.
