Utatane Koharu couldn't bear to keep looking at the horrifying scene and softly reminded the Third Hokage.
Danzo was now considered a criminal of the village, so it was better to handle this quietly and bury him as soon as possible.
Once the news spread, who knows how many people would cheer.
"Yes."
The Third Hokage, lost in memories, snapped back to reality and nodded slightly.
Just as he was about to have the tree split, leaving a part as Danzo's remains, the night sky outside suddenly lit up.
Various beautiful fireworks shot into the sky, constantly exploding, attracting the attention of countless villagers.
Those unaware looked towards the Uchiha clan's territory, curious about what grand event the Uchiha were hosting to set off fireworks...
The fireworks were beautiful, but to the Third Hokage, they were particularly glaring, as if mocking them.
"Who's setting off fireworks? Where are the Uchiha? Aren't they managing this?"
Seeing the Third Hokage's face darken, Utatane Koharu knew he was angry.
She immediately stepped forward and questioned the Anbu.
Danzo died, and on such an important day, someone was setting off fireworks.
And on such a large scale, as if they were celebrating Danzo's death!
These beautiful fireworks were like needles, deeply piercing their hearts.
The Anbu squad members looked at each other, unsure whether to report the truth.
"From the direction, it seems to be the Uchiha clan's territory. Are the Uchiha hosting some grand event today?"
The Third Hokage asked calmly.
The Anbu squad leader answered with a heavy heart:
"Third Hokage-sama, according to our investigation, today is Uchiha Yan's coming-of-age birthday, so the Uchiha decided to host a grand celebration and invited many guests."
A birthday?
A grand celebration?
The Third Hokage's eyes went blank for a few seconds, and soon his wrinkled old face turned red with anger, causing him to cough uncontrollably.
"How dare they!!!"
Utatane Koharu jumped in anger, while Mitokado Homura stood silently with a dark expression.
It was obvious that the Uchiha did this on purpose. They knew about Danzo's death, so they used Yan's birthday as an excuse to host a grand celebration.
"Stop them immediately!!!"
Utatane Koharu, trembling with anger, shouted at the Anbu.
"Yes."
The Anbu members didn't dare to say much and quickly left the hospital, heading straight for the Uchiha clan's territory.
A grand celebration for an adult's birthday was unprecedented. Initially, many clan members didn't understand why the Patriarch issued such an order. But when Fugaku announced Danzo's death, the entire Uchiha clan erupted in excitement. Everyone was motivated and full of energy to organize this birthday banquet. Fugaku waved his hand, instructing the clan members to go all out in the most extravagant way. The Uchiha clan wasn't short on money, and on this joyous day, they had to celebrate grandly.
"Captain, do we really have to go in?"
Looking at the brightly decorated Uchiha territory, the Anbu squad members felt a chill down their spines. Going to the Uchiha territory to call off the celebration at this time was not a wise move.
"If we don't go in, how will we explain to the Third hokage's advisor?"
The squad captain scolded:
"Do you think I want to go in?"
This was a dilemma, offending both sides was not an option, and they were stuck in the middle.
"Everyone, today is a joyous day for the Uchiha. If you have any issues, please come back tomorrow."
Yan had anticipated that someone would be displeased with the Uchiha's actions. He had been waiting at the edge of the territory early on. As soon as the Anbu arrived, Yan came over to persuade them to leave.
"Sir, something unpleasant happened at the hospital today. The Third Hokage and the Third Hokage's advisor are in a bad mood. How about postponing the celebration?"
With his arms crossed, Yan's gaze turned cold as he looked at the Anbu squad captain: "Is the Third Hokage dead?"
"Huh?"
The squad captain was stunned for a moment and quickly shook his head:
"Sir, you misunderstand. The Third Hokage is in good health, but..."
"If the Third Hokage isn't dead, why should we stop?"
Yan sneered, "Today is my coming-of-age day. The clan members are willing to organize a birthday banquet for me and celebrate. Is that wrong? Or is there a rule in the village that the Uchiha can't celebrate their birthday?"
I knew it!!!
The Anbu squad captain felt like cursing. On one side were the Third Hokage and the Third Hokage advisors, and on the other were Yan and the Uchiha. Yan was displeased, even questioning if the Third Hokage was dead. You want the Uchiha to stop celebrating? Sure, if the Third Hokage is dead, we'll stop. Otherwise, no way. We're celebrating, and it's none of anyone else's business.
"I won't make things difficult for you. Go back and tell those who sent you that the Uchiha don't need others to dictate how we do things. If you want us to stop, Hokage-sama must order it, and we'll stop immediately."
Third Hokage's elders? Even the Third Hokage's words don't work. If you want to command us, let Tsunade order it, otherwise, no way.
"Understood."
The Anbu squad captain breathed a sigh of relief and obediently led his team away.
Although Yan's tone was harsh, at least he didn't make things difficult for the messengers. The harsh attitude was directed at those who sent them. They would report back truthfully.
After the Anbu left, Fugaku came out with some people. Exchanging a glance, Yan smiled and said:
"It's all good now. Everyone, eat and drink as you please, no need to worry about anything."
Danzo's death has nothing to do with me, Uchiha Yan. If you dare to publicize it in the village, we'll stop immediately. If not, then mind your own business. What time is it, and you still want to look down on us and give orders?
"Patriarch!"
At this moment, someone came to report:
"The Hyuga Patriarch is here, and he brought a lot of gifts."
"What?" Fugaku was stunned.
Yan helplessly patted his forehead.
They sent out invitations just as a formality, to let the ninja clans in the village know that the Uchiha were up to something. They didn't expect any guests to actually come.
But Hyuga Hiashi came.
This is ridiculous.
Don't look at me, Patriarch, you go entertain them. Yan spread his hands, indicating he wouldn't take the blame for this.
The worst part was yet to come.
The arrival of the Hyuga clan was like a signal. The Ino-Shika-Cho trio, who usually had nothing to do with the Uchiha, also arrived a bit later.
Fugaku was completely stunned when he saw that the observing clans, seeing a leader take the lead, all sent people with gifts to congratulate.
Thus, what was supposed to be a formal birthday banquet turned into a real grand celebration.
