Unknowingly, it has been more than a year since Far Yamanaka and Po Watergate arrived at Mount Myōki.
Over the past year, Po Watergate's Chakra has recovered more than half of its original amount, and his physical fitness has also greatly improved.
Far Yamanaka and Korin also helped Po Watergate improve his body's adaptability to natural energy. Now Watergate can enter Sage Mode much faster than in the Manga, and the power of his Senjutsu is also much more powerful.
At this point, Far Yamanaka's goal has been achieved, and the rest is up to Watergate.
So after saying goodbye to Fukusaku and Shima, Far Yamanaka left Mount Myōki and teleported back to Wood Leaf.
Far Yamanaka suddenly appeared at home. It was noon now, and as usual, Yamanaka Chinse had already prepared lunch.
Chinse has long been used to Far Yamanaka's mysterious appearance, but she hasn't seen her son for more than a year, so she was very happy to see him back.
Halfway through the meal, Lain didn't appear. Seeing that Yamanaka Chinse had prepared a meal for Lain, Far Yamanaka asked, "Mother, why don't I see Lain?"
"Lain is in the Nara Clan. Today, the Ino-Shika-Cho clans are holding a clan meeting to discuss recent events."
"Events? What happened in Wood Leaf? "
"Didn't you notice? Now, whether it's the Uchiha Security Department at the village entrance or the Anbu patrolling the village, they are all very nervous. "
"Ahem, this …" Far Yamanaka blushed and was a little embarrassed.
Since learning the Space-Time Barrier from Po Watergate, So Far Yamanaka hasn't entered Wood Leaf from the village entrance, so Yamanaka really didn't know about the situation.
Yamanaka Chinse saw Far Yamanaka's appearance and remembered that Far Yamanaka usually used Space-Time Ninjutsu to go in and out.
Yamanaka Chinse immediately said, "I heard from Inoichi that Sakumo was attacked by three members of the Uchiha Clan some time ago."
Far Yamanaka's face changed when he heard this. How could the Uchiha Clan do such a thing?
"Mother, I'm going out!" Yamanaka put down his chopsticks and teleported to the Hokage's office.
In the Hokage's office, Hatsuki Shigeru was having a meeting with a group of Wood Leaf's leaders, the atmosphere was very tense.
"Hokage-sama, I don't think this matter should be delayed any longer. I suggest that we immediately send the Anbu to closely monitor the Uchiha." Koharu said seriously.
"Koharu, we can't be sure that this was done by the Uchiha Clan. Maybe it was a Genjutsu …"
Before the 3rd could finish his words, he was interrupted by Hiashi: "That's impossible, Sandaime! I was there when they attacked Hokage-sama. This Uchiha's Chakra didn't show any signs of disorder. It was definitely not a Genjutsu. "
"Hiruzen, the situation is clear. You don't need to protect the Uchiha Clan!" Homura also expressed his position.
Despite this, the 3rd still believed that the Uchiha Clan wouldn't do such a thing.
The 3rd didn't think so because he trusted the Uchiha Clan, but because after so many years of scheming against the Uchiha Clan, he felt that the Uchiha Clan was very smart and wouldn't do such a thing.
Although the Uchiha Clan always had their own ideas, the Uchiha Clan only wanted to seek a higher status in the Wood Leaf Village. They didn't want to directly assassinate the Hokage and cause a civil war in the Wood Leaf Village. It was obvious that someone was framing them.
"Sakumo, I still insist on my opinion. This matter shouldn't be done by the Uchiha Clan. These Uchiha Clan members must be up to something." The 3rd said firmly.
Hearing the 3rd's words, Hatsuki Shigeru, who had been silent, opened his mouth: "I think Sandaime's words are very reasonable. At the same time, I don't believe that the Uchiha Clan would be so stupid as to send a few Chunin to assassinate me in broad daylight."
After hearing Hatsuki Shigeru's words, everyone present, except for the 3rd, looked a little embarrassed. In fact, they all knew that this matter had nothing to do with the Uchiha Clan.
Whether it was from the Uchiha Clan's actions, or from the assassins, the 3rd and Hatsuki Shigeru's words were obviously more reasonable.
But what did it matter? The people present had no interest in the truth. They just wanted to use this opportunity to suppress or even directly eradicate the Uchiha Clan.
If Wood Leaf was compared to a country, then the ninjas represented military power, the Hokage and the elders represented political power, and the Uchiha Clan represented judicial power.
Everyone knew how much power the Security Department had in Wood Leaf. Although this power would offend many people, no clan didn't want to replace the Uchiha Clan and take over the Security Department.
Most of the elders in the village followed the policies left by the 2nd, and were always vigilant against the Uchiha Clan.
Several of the 2nd's disciples, Homura, Utatane Utatane, and Danzo behind the scenes, couldn't wait to eradicate the Uchiha Clan as soon as possible.
With such a good opportunity in front of them, these people certainly wouldn't let it go. Regardless of the truth, the most important thing was to take advantage of this opportunity to suppress the Uchiha Clan.
"Hokage-sama, since you think that the Uchiha Clan may be innocent, then let the Anbu intervene in the investigation! This will not only prove the Uchiha Clan's innocence, but also give us peace of mind. "Homura suggested.
"Yes, this matter can't be handled by the Security Department. Everyone knows that the Security Department is full of the Uchiha Clan. Just now, I proposed to let the Anbu monitor the Uchiha Clan for the same reason. "Utatane Utatane continued.
Hatsuki Shigeru frowned. Whether it was the Anbu monitoring or the Anbu intervening in the investigation, it would show the village's attitude that they didn't trust the Uchiha Clan.
Once the Uchiha Clan caught this information, they would inevitably be dissatisfied with the village.
Obviously, it wasn't the Uchiha Clan who did it, but in the end, the responsibility would be borne by the Uchiha Clan. This would make the Uchiha Clan completely lose trust in the village.
In the current situation, this must not be allowed to happen. Otherwise, it is very likely that the Uchiha Clan will be forced to the opposite side of Wood Leaf.
"Hokage-sama, are you still unable to make up your mind?" Hiashi urged.
The Third Hokage sighed when he saw this. He couldn't say anything in the current situation.
Just as Hatsuki Shigeru was in a dilemma, Far Yamanaka appeared out of thin air in the Hokage's office.
"Leave this matter to me! Elders, what do you think?! "
"Far Yamanaka! Why are you back? Aren't you … "Homura's face changed greatly when he saw Far Yamanaka.
"Oh? It seems that my return has put some people in a bad mood! Then I have to take care of this matter. "Far Yamanaka said in a serious tone.
