Chapter 151 The best way to deal with public opinion is to deal with it coldly! Return to Konoha!
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Uchiha Kagami, Utatane Koharu, and Homura Mitokado's conversation!
It lasted from noon until late into the night!
Regarding the Land of Whirlpools matter!
After understanding all the details, Hiruzen Sarutobi could only let all his emotions turn into a long sigh!
As for their identities being exposed!
He could only blame the former master for being too cunning!
Of course, it also had some connection to him, the Hokage!
At that time, he chose to send Danzo and Uchiha Kagami!
He thought it would finalize the Land of Whirlpools matter!
To avoid any unforeseen complications!
But who could have predicted!
That this point would become the breakthrough for the enemy forces to determine Danzo and their identities?
"The Land of Whirlpools matter, you all worked hard!"
"Danzo, Kagami! For the next period of time!"
"You two should get some good rest!"
"As for the rumors outside, I will handle them!"
"Additionally, I will quickly send people to replenish the Root's manpower lost in this operation!"
"Koharu, Homura! You two may also leave!"
After a low-voiced instruction!
Hiruzen Sarutobi was the first to stand up!
He walked out of the Hokage Office under the gaze of the four others!
As for how to deal with external rumors!
The most effective way was nothing more than cold treatment!
After all, in a place like the Ninja World, there was never a shortage of things worth exposing!
However!
Looking at the moonlight at night!
Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze gradually drifted towards the direction where the Senju Clan resided!
The Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Technique must be in Konoha's hands!
It seems it's also time for Kushina to go to Lady Mito's side!
...On the afternoon of the second day after Danzo, Uchiha Kagami and others returned to Konoha!
Fujiwara Tetsuya, Uchiha Mikoto, and a group of seven also returned to Konoha after a brief rest upon landing in the Land of Fire!
After several months!
After countless battles!
Gazing at the gate of Konoha Village, even Fujiwara Tetsuya couldn't help but feel a strange sensation!
It felt like returning home!
However, because they were bringing Uzumaki Meika and Uzumaki Kyoji!
Therefore, the moment Fujiwara Tetsuya and his companions were about to enter the Village!
They were stopped by two Chunin extras guarding the gate!
"I am the Thirteenth Squad leader, Special Jonin Fujiwara Tetsuya!"
"I need to bring these two into the Village!"
"As for the procedures, I will go to Hokage-sama right now!"
"If the two of you have any doubts!"
"You can send someone to follow!"
"Fujiwara Tetsuya? That brat from the Fujiwara Clan!"
Although Fujiwara Tetsuya's face wasn't impressive!
His name's reputation was quite good!
Under the gaze of Uchiha Mikoto, Torune Ryoui, and the others!
The expressions of the two Chunin extras in front of him changed at a visible speed!
They became gentle!
"It is indeed Captain Tetsuya!"
"My name is Yamashiro Aoyama! This is our comrade, Kamizuki Shuu!"
"Although it might be a bit presumptuous, according to the Village rules, we still need to report it to our superiors beforehand!"
"Alright! I understand!"
As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face!
What's more, Fujiwara Tetsuya didn't have the audacity to be rude!
He could only stand aside with Uzumaki Meika and Uzumaki Kyoji!
"Mikoto! Ryoui! Mokujin! Seito!"
"The four of you go back first!"
"As for the mission, and the matters concerning Meihua and Kyoji!"
"I will report them to Hokage-sama!"
According to Ninja regulations!
Usually, only Ninja of captain level have the authority to report to the Hokage alone!
Even if Uchiha Mikoto, Senju Seito, and the others went!
Besides receiving a worthless 'thank you for your hard work'!
They would only serve as mere background!
Of course, this was secondary!
Most importantly!
Regarding the future and placement of Uzumaki Meika and Uzumaki Kyoji!
There would inevitably be some degree of negotiation, and even disputes!
Fujiwara Tetsuya did not want them to get involved!
"Then... Tetsuya! I'll leave the reporting to you!"
"I'll go back to the clan first to inform the elders about Senior Aoki's matter!"
"If anything happens, remember to notify me in time!"
After Senju Seito left!
Uchiha Mikoto and the other two were also persuaded by Fujiwara Tetsuya to return one after another!
Yamashiro Aoyama and Kamizuki Shuu's efficiency wasn't slow!
Not long after Uchiha Mikoto and Torune Ryoui left!
Several Chunin wearing vests appeared before Fujiwara Tetsuya!
"Meihua! Kyoji! Follow me!"
...When Fujiwara Tetsuya led Uzumaki Meika and Uzumaki Kyoji to the Hokage Office!
Inside the room, besides Hiruzen Sarutobi, there were many other figures!
Such as Danzo Shimura, Utatane Koharu, Homura Mitokado, and a strange face wearing the Senju Clan crest that Fujiwara Tetsuya had never seen before!
Scanning the expressions of everyone in the room!
Fujiwara Tetsuya's gaze shifted slightly, and he quickly walked towards Hiruzen Sarutobi!
"Hokage-sama!"
"Thirteenth Squad leader Fujiwara Tetsuya! Reporting on behalf of the Fifth, Ninth, ... Twenty-seventh, and Thirty-ninth Squads!"
"This is the account of the Land of Whirlpools mission, as well as the list of fallen and current personnel for each squad!"
"Please review, Hokage-sama!"
Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi's slightly relaxed lips!
As Fujiwara Tetsuya bowed!
He handed the mission report, which they had all signed, to Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk!
Then he slowly retreated!
Standing in front of Uzumaki Meika and Uzumaki Kyoji!
Blocking those prying gazes!
Danzo and the others were not aware!
What exactly was written in Fujiwara Tetsuya's mission report!
However, they could intuitively see!
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression gradually darkened!
"Sixteen squads! Only five of you are left!"
"They are all heroes of Konoha!"
"You are too!"
"Tetsuya! You all truly worked hard!"
Sixteen squads meant sixteen Jonin or higher-ranked Ninja!
In addition, there were a large number of Chunin and Genin!
Whether it was Elite Jonin Senju Aoki or the other fourteen fallen Jonin!
They were all Ninja carefully cultivated by Konoha!
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi!
At this moment, he truly felt the pain!
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
"Senior Aoki and the others are all heroes!"
The people of the Senju Clan had obviously learned the news from Senju Seito earlier!
Therefore, when Fujiwara Tetsuya mentioned Senju Aoki!
They only showed a slight darkening of expression and a slight lowering of their gaze!
They did not show overly unseemly behavior!
"Don't worry!"
"The Village will handle their affairs after death!"
"Additionally, the rewards for your Thirteenth Squad and Chunin Senju Seito will be distributed to you as soon as they are finalized!"
For Fujiwara Tetsuya, this junior with limitless potential!
Hiruzen Sarutobi still showed sufficient patience!
Only after comforting Fujiwara Tetsuya!
Did he turn his gaze to Uzumaki Meika and Uzumaki Kyoji!
