Wouch!
Maple returned to the place where he was staying.
At this time, the place has been sealed off, and the Anbu ninjas have formed a team to prevent other Konoha ninjas from approaching. Inside the sealed area, Lin was still on high alert.
However, Kurenai, Kakashi, and Kurenai weren't the only ones inside the sealed area, there were also many ninjas wearing the uniform of the Uchiha Clan, led by Uchiha Fugaku.
At this time.
Uchiha Fugaku was squatting between the sleeping Kurenai and Kakashi, the three Magatama in his eyes were rotating, and his Chakra fluctuated twice.
Then he straightened his body and closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the three magatama in his eyes had disappeared. He turned his head and looked at Maple who appeared not far away and was walking towards him.
"I'm sorry, Konoha Jonin, the patrols at night are not doing their job well, and this kind of thing happened, I'm a little ashamed as the captain of the Konoha Garrison Guard … I've helped your brother and her solve the Genjutsu."
Uchiha Fugaku said to Maple.
Maple nodded slightly towards Uchiha Fugaku and said, "Many thanks, Patriarch Fugaku."
What Konoha Garrison Guard is just an excuse, Uchiha Fugaku can appear here with a part of the Uchiha Clan and block the Anbu ninjas outside, this is in fact a declaration of his position.
This is also a gamble by Uchiha Fugaku.
Konoha has been pushing aside the Uchiha Clan, and even after Minato Uchiha ascended to power, the power is still in the hands of Sarutobi, and the situation hasn't improved so far.
Choosing to intervene in this matter is a gamble, and if Maple loses, even if he can use the position of Konoha Garrison Guard to make a positive response, Konoha's top brass will inevitably impose harsher suppression on the Uchiha Clan.
If Maple Night won, then the current situation would change for the better.
Now.
Since Maple has returned, it means that Maple should have won, and he made the right bet.
"What's the situation now?"
Uchiha Fugaku asked Maple while the tension in his heart relaxed.
Maple walked towards the direction of Kakashi and Kurenai, squatted down beside them, put his hands on their shoulders and said, "Danzo is dead, I will not interfere in any of Konoha's affairs for the next period of time."
Hearing the first sentence of Maple, Uchiha Fugaku was relieved, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he became slightly nervous and asked, "You won't interfere?"
"It's mutual."
After checking the bodies of Kakashi and Kurenai, Maple stood up and looked at Uchiha Fugaku with a faint smile, "They are the same … My residence is now destroyed, can Patriarch Fugaku do me a favor?"
Hearing Maple's words, Uchiha Fugaku understood something and said with a smile, "It's nothing, come with me."
Maple turned his head towards Rin who was still maintaining her three-tailed chakra and nodded slightly, "You can take back your chakra, Rin, wake them up as well."
"Okay."
Rin also heaved a long sigh of relief.
Although Maple didn't disappear for a long time, this period of time was quite long for her. First, there was a brief confrontation with Sarutobi, then the Anbu surrounded this place, and then Uchiha Fugaku brought his people to take over this place.
The most important thing is that the people she faced this time weren't the enemies of other villages, but each one of them was a high-ranking member of Konoha, which made her feel completely different from when she was on the battlefield.
"… Huh? What's wrong? "
Kurenai was awakened and looked around in confusion, and then suddenly reacted, "Is this … Genjutsu? What's going on? "
"It's all right."
Maple smiled at her and said, "But the place where we lived was destroyed, let's move to another place first, I'll tell you what happened later."
Kakashi also woke up, and there was also a trace of doubt on his face, and after looking around, his expression changed slightly as he vaguely guessed what happened.
Kuroto looked at Maple, and after exchanging a glance with him, he confirmed his guess.
But he didn't immediately ask, and instead stood up and followed behind Maple, until they arrived at the Uchiha Clan's territory together with Uchiha Fugaku and the others, and came to a small but very clean room, Kuroto looked at Maple and asked:
"Was it … an operation against you, Big Brother?"
"Yes."
Maple nodded and said, "It's over."
Kakashi was slightly nervous and asked, "Are you alright?"
With a light smile, Maple sat down at the table and said, "It's nothing, I just happened to clean up the dust that fell in front of me."
"…"
Kakashi was speechless.
Maple's words made him want to complain, but he didn't know where to start.
"What's the situation in the village now, and what about Minato sensei?"
"Shimura Danzo is dead, the Root was destroyed by me, and I fought with Minato and won. Also, I won't interfere in Konoha's affairs for the next period of time, and the Uchiha Clan is now on my side."
Feng Ye casually explained what happened in a few sentences.
It seemed simple, but the information revealed made Kurenai slightly open her mouth, and Kakashi was also shocked. It took a long time for both of them to calm down.
"So, Shimura Danzo acted because he was afraid of your power, Big Brother … This time, Big Brother, you and Minato sensei have also completely broken up."
Kakashi looked at the ground with a depressed expression.
Although he had a hunch that this would happen, the fact that Maple and Konoha have broken up and parted ways with the Minato Sect still made him feel a little uncomfortable, after all, he was caught in the middle.
"Then, what should I do next …"
Kakashi looked towards Feng Ye with a questioning gaze.
If Maple and Minato will definitely break up, then Kuroto has no choice but to stand on Maple's side as the younger brother.
"You can continue to be a Jonin of Konoha."
Maple glanced at Kakashi and said with a light smile: "You can also express your attitude towards Minato Sect, don't worry about anything, just live like how you used to live in the Konoha Village. It's just a difference of ideals between me and Minato, and after this change, there won't be any more conflicts."
Hearing Maple's words, Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief.
This result seemed to be much better than what he had expected.
The worst-case scenario was that Kaede and Konoha's upper echelons would break off their relationship and decide to fight for the position of Hokage, setting off a large-scale internal conflict.
Now it seems that whether it is Minato Sect or Maple, they don't want such a thing to happen, they don't want to see Konoha fall into chaos because of this. Although it's a little regretful that Maple and Minato can't join forces, this is indeed an acceptable result.
