The death of a ninja can be a big or small matter. The first thing to look at is the cause of death, and the second thing to pay attention to is the identity of the deceased. Although this ninja is just a Chunin, it is possible that it was the Uchiha clan's hand, then this matter is big.
"Father, what happened?"
Seeing so many people gathered at home, Itachi hurriedly asked. If it weren't for some special circumstances, such a large-scale meeting would definitely not be held at home.
"Itachi"
Seeing Itachi's appearance, Fugaku's face looked much better. After all, Itachi is Fugaku's proudest child.
"A ninja in the village died, and the village suspects that it was our Uchiha's hand."
Hearing what Fugaku said, Itachi's face was stunned.
"Then father, is it really our clansman who did this?"
Itachi asked timidly, he didn't want this to be true.
Fugaku closed his eyes and shook his head.
"I don't know, we haven't found the person who did it."
Hearing this, Itachi slowly exhaled.
"If it wasn't our clan's hand, then why would they suspect us?"
Then, Itachi asked curiously.
"Because the other party died from Genjutsu."
As soon as the words fell, Itachi's heart, which had just calmed down, was raised again.
"Could it really be someone from our clan who did it?"
At this moment, Itachi was completely disappointed in his clansmen. Although there is no evidence now, but the ninja who can kill the other party with Genjutsu, isn't it obvious? Even Itachi suspects that it is their people.
Fugaku and the others are the same, they all suspect that it was their own people who did it, otherwise they would not hold a secret meeting at home, but they don't know who the person who started it is.
At this time, Satoru was also sitting in the Hokage's office, waiting for the result. After all, this matter is likely to involve his disciples, so he is very concerned.
The expression on the face of the Fourth Hokage, who was sitting in the main seat, was also very ugly. He didn't expect such a thing to happen. Although the Uchiha clan and the village were at odds, he didn't expect them to dare to do it.
In addition to the Fourth Hokage, Shimura Danzo, Utatane Koharu, Mito Homura, and the Third Hokage, who had not asked about politics for a long time, have all appeared. It can be seen how much attention this matter has attracted.
"I've said it a long time ago, the Uchiha clan are all a group of wild wolves with ambitions. Now they should be immediately put under control and then handed over to my root department for handling."
Danzo said with a pained expression, as if the deceased ninja had some special relationship with him.
"Let's talk about it after the results come out."
Namikaze Minato said coldly.
"Fourth Hokage, if you drag on, it is inevitable that the Uchiha will do more excessive things, so now we have to take tough measures against them."
Danzo immediately spoke up.
"Danzo, the Hokage is me, not you, sit down."
As soon as these words came out, Danzo immediately felt a creepy feeling. He felt the killing intent emanating from Minato. If he dared to say anything against Minato's will, Minato might directly do it.
"Hmph, you will regret it sooner or later."
After letting out a harsh word, Danzo sat down unwillingly with a face.
His old friends didn't speak for him at this time, because they could all see that Minato was angry now. Who would help Danzo speak now, isn't that asking for trouble, asking for punishment?
"Haha."
Satoru didn't care about everyone's opinions, he just laughed out loud. Seeing Danzo being scolded, he felt very painful in his heart.
Hearing this mocking laughter, Danzo looked at Hatake Satoru with a gloomy face.
But he really didn't dare to do anything to Hatake Satoru now, because he knew very well that he was not his opponent.
Danzo didn't expect that Minato, who usually seemed so easy to talk to, would have such a tough attitude today.
Minato treated Danzo like this today, of course, there are reasons. The first is that Danzo has always been targeting at the position of Hokage, which has always made Minato very upset. The second is that the originally stable situation suddenly became tense, he suspected that Danzo was making trouble behind the scenes.
Just then, Yamanaka Inoichi walked in with a heavy face.
Everyone's eyes were all on him.
"The result is out, it's the Uchiha clan's people."
Although they knew the result would be like this, when they really heard this sentence, their hearts trembled. They didn't expect that the people of the Uchiha clan would really dare to do this. This is tantamount to directly putting the Uchiha clan on the opposite side of the village. For the people of the Uchiha clan in the current situation, this can be said to be the worst result.
"Do you know the identity of the other party?"
Minato asked with a serious expression.
"I don't know, through memory observation, the other party is wearing a mask, but that pair of Sharingan still exposed his identity."
"An Uchiha wearing a mask?"
Obito's figure suddenly appeared in Minato's mind.
"Is it this kind of mask?"
Minato simply drew on a blank piece of paper, the mask that Obito wore when he attacked Konohagakure.
"The style is the same, but the other party has two eyes."
Looking at the drawing on the paper, Inoichi pointed out the only difference.
"Two eyes? The other eye is clearly on Kakashi."
Minato frowned.
"So it's not that guy, maybe someone is pretending to be that guy."
Seeing Minato's expression, Satoru naturally knew what he was thinking and said.
"But the identity of the murderer has been confirmed to be a person from the Uchiha clan, we can let Clan Head Fugaku hand over the person."
At this time, the Third, who had been silent, also spoke.
"Call Fugaku over and see what he says."
From the bottom of his heart, Minato really didn't want this matter to be led by Fugaku, because his thoughts were the same as Minato's, they all hoped that the Uchiha clan and the village could live in peace.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
An Anbu suddenly disappeared behind Minato.
Not long after, Uchiha Fugaku walked in with a serious face.
"Patriarch Fugaku, the murderer has been confirmed by the head of the Yamanaka clan, it is indeed your Uchiha clan's people, so I hope you can hand over the murderer."
Fugaku glanced at Yamanaka Inoichi, he naturally knew that the Yamanaka clan had such a skill.
"What does the other party look like?"
Uchiha Fugaku asked, he also wanted to know who the murderer was, which idiot wanted to put the Uchiha clan in a desperate situation.
"I don't know, wearing a mask, unable to recognize his identity, but the Sharingan under the mask has confirmed that he is a person from your clan."
Yamanaka Inoichi said.
