Kawasaki raised his arms and shouted, "I hereby declare! From this day forward! I, Uchiha Kawasaki, shall officially assume the position of clan head!"
"Oh!" Cheers erupted!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The cannons roared!
The entire Uchiha clan was shaken!
bite....
The long-awaited system notification sound came to my ears...
......
On Uchiha territory.
After Kawasaki announced his appointment as clan head.
The crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
The prepared succession ceremony was completely useless.
However, the atmosphere had reached a climax, and it would be unreasonable for him not to take office.
As for etiquette and such, they are of little importance.
As long as the people are happy.
Despite the deviation in the process, other preparatory work was not neglected.
Following Kawasaki's suggestion, everything was arranged as a buffet.
Therefore, the entire venue was filled with tables, on which a wide variety of delicious food and drinks were available for people to help themselves.
After everyone calmed down a bit, Kawasaki let everyone eat, drink, and have fun as they pleased.
At this point, the Third Hokage and the others, who had been left standing aside, were finally able to approach again.
Representatives from the other major ninja villages had never seen such a banquet before, and they found it novel and began to sample the food.
However, they focused more of their attention on the Third Hokage.
Seeing that the Third Hokage was about to speak with Uchiha Kawasaki again, everyone gathered around.
The Third Hokage hadn't expected the Uchiha clan to react this way and was ignored for quite a while.
But these are all the seeds sown by Konoha, and they can only swallow their anger.
The Third Hokage took out a scroll and handed it to Jiraiya.
Jiraiya understood the significance of the scroll and handed it over to Kawasaki.
Kawasaki had a premonition and immediately unfurled the scroll.
The Third Hokage said, "Kawasaki, this is the appointment letter for an honorary elder of Konoha. It is Konoha's way of compensating the Uchiha. We hope that we can live in harmony."
Kawasaki chuckled inwardly when he saw Fugaku's name on the appointment letter.
They probably chose his name because they thought he was honest and easy to bully.
It didn't matter anyway, since he had planned to put Fugaku in power anyway.
"Third Hokage, you flatter us. We Uchiha have always been a part of Konoha. It's just that some people with ulterior motives have been targeting us."
"That's why we Uchiha had to avoid their sharp edge to protect ourselves. If those villains receive their due punishment, the Uchiha will naturally return to Konoha's embrace."
Kawasaki spread his hands, his words sounding very official and proper.
Jiraiya, standing to the side, couldn't help but feel uncomfortable; Kawasaki always managed to embarrass people without them even realizing it.
The Third Hokage, accustomed to all the ups and downs, seemed slightly uneasy in the face of Kawasaki's attitude.
"Danzo's 'Root' organization has been basically eliminated, and Danzo will be interrogated soon. The Kawasaki clan chief can be present to observe."
"Welcome to Lord Otogakure as well."
The Third Hokage did not forget Orochimaru's legacy.
"Of course, after all, there is a deep hatred between us Uchiha and Danzo."
Kawasaki responded with a smile.
Kabuto nodded, indicating that he would definitely be there.
At that moment, a masked member of the Dark Guard approached and whispered a few words in the Third Hokage's ear.
The Third Hokage's expression changed drastically: "Clan Chief Kawasaki, I have urgent business to attend to, so I must take my leave."
Kawasaki nodded: "Please go ahead."
Under these circumstances, why did the third generation leave in such a hurry? What could have caused this sudden turn of events?
The Third Hokage hurriedly left with Jiraiya, while two Anbu members stayed behind.
The two removed their masks.
"Kawasaki, congratulations on becoming the clan leader."
"Thank you for your help back then, Mr. Kawasaki."
It turned out to be Kakashi and Tenzo.
Oh my god, has Kakashi come back from the dead?
Kakashi's eye was still covered by his headband, and he still looked somewhat dejected.
But at least it boosted morale and facilitated communication.
The Tenzo standing next to him is the very person Kawasaki helped back then.
This time, no one named him Yamato.
From now on, it will probably be called Tianzang.
"Oh? You're no longer depressed?"
Kawasaki's words made Kakashi slightly embarrassed.
Kakashi touched his empty left eye: "No matter what, we have to face it."
"There are many enemies in Konoha Village. I can't go on like this any longer."
Kawasaki looked at Kakashi's appearance; his current recovery status could only be described as barely passing.
But at least it was a step forward.
"You two are here to see Tsunade, right?"
Kawasaki immediately guessed the two men's intentions: the Third Hokage had brought Kakashi along, probably to deal with Kakashi's eye problem.
However, something happened that delayed us along the way.
Kakashi nodded slightly. Now that Tsunade was stationed at the Uchiha Clan, Kakashi would naturally have to go through Kawasaki if he wanted to ask her for help.
A few days ago, Kakashi learned that some villagers had vandalized Rin's grave under the guise of visiting the memorial monument.
There are too many people entering and leaving the memorial, making it impossible to identify who it is.
Besides, it's pointless to pursue these matters further.
As for why someone would do this, Kakashi knew perfectly well.
These kinds of things are best left unsaid.
However, Rin's body was not there; Kawasaki had previously given Rin's coffin to Kakashi.
After the burial, Kakashi erected a fake grave next to the memorial stone.
Kakashi was still grateful to Kawasaki for this.
After all, it was Obito who caused the trouble.
"Please come with me, both of you."
...
Naruto and Sasuke had never attended such a gathering before.
To be precise, most people have never experienced a buffet-style cocktail party like this.
The venue was filled with tables and chairs, and people could take whatever food they wanted.
Among the younger generation, Naruto is the most active.
"Sasuke, try this cold noodle dish..."
"Sasuke, try this sugar-coated glutinous rice cake again..."
"Okay, stop calling me that, it's embarrassing..."
At first, Sasuke remained reserved, but after being led by Naruto, he joined in the joyful atmosphere.
The two ate their way from one end of the venue to the other, and the two little ones were having a great time.
Tsunade held a cup of grass jelly, stirring it gently with a small spoon, her gaze following Naruto and Sasuke as they ran around, full of energy.
A smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
“Tsunade…” Kawasaki’s voice rang out.
Kawasaki led two men dressed as secret agents over.
Kakashi's hairstyle and mask have almost become his trademarks, and Tsunade recognized him at a glance.
The other member of the spies had an ordinary appearance, except for his lifeless, dead fish eyes, which were somewhat unusual.
Kawasaki came over and introduced him to Tsunade: "Tsunade, this is Tenzo."
Oh? Tsunade looked Tenzo up and down a few times. Is this the baby who survived the experiment?
They have grown so big now.
Tsunade had basically figured out Kakashi's intentions.
"I'm happy today, so let's not talk about those things for now. Come find me again in seven days via qun1060928735."
"Regarding your eyes, all I can say is I'll try my best; you need to be mentally prepared."
Tsunade waved her hand, saying that physical regeneration is not so simple, especially for delicate organs like the eyes.
