"What? The Uchiha clan leader was killed in battle?"
"Black flames?"
Hearing this, Kawaki was so shocked that he shot to his feet directly. This news took him by surprise.
It seemed that the death of the Uchiha clan leader had awakened Fugaku's Mangekyō Sharingan.
The black flames should be Amaterasu[b]Amaterasu[/b]. It was indeed an enviable ability.
Once awakened, it can severely wound a Jinchūriki with just one move, but the user is prone to going blind. This is probably the biggest flaw.
Unless one fuses with Hashirama's cells or evolves into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, they cannot avoid the ultimate fate of going blind.
Originally, the surrender of the Land of Wind was good news, but now Kawaki had no mood to be happy at all.
Tsunade and he were already preparing for the evacuation from the Land of Wind and waiting for the negotiation.
"Where is Fugaku Uchiha?"
Tsunade frowned and asked for more detailed information.
"Fugaku Uchiha was seriously injured and unconscious. He has been sent back to Konoha."
"The condition of the Four - Tailed Jinchūriki is unknown."
This Konoha Ninjas reported the battle situation and lowered his head, not daring to look at their expressions anymore.
This is really not a good gig. It's nerve - wracking.
"Got it. You can go."
After a moment, Kawaki sighed and told the ninja to leave.
"Yes, Lord Kawaki."
Without waiting for Tsunade to say anything, he left directly.
"It's a pity that there isn't even a body left."
Sakumo sighed from the side. He admired that the clan leader was willing to fight in person.
Unexpectedly, he ended up with no remains at all.
"He's a hero."
Dai didn't think too much. In his heart, such a person was a hero.
In contrast, it's clear at a glance that the Third Hokage and the clan leaders of all the families staying in Konoha are inferior.
"Things have come to this. There's nothing we can do. I hope this kid Fugaku can pull through."
Kawaki slowly sat down. Although the Uchiha clan leader had had conflicts with him before, they had cooperated quite well later.
He's also a bit sad right now. Kawaki is quite emotional when it comes to his friends.
"Let's finish dealing with things and return to the village quickly. This incident may trigger a series of reactions."
Tsunade had a relatively sensitive political sense. She had a premonition that some people in the village would make an issue of this.
The young Fugaku may not be able to handle this. The Uchiha clan is now her reliable ally.
"Yeah, we'll go back after the negotiation is over."
Kawaki nodded. The Uchiha was now leaderless. They definitely wouldn't miss this good opportunity.
When Fugaku was urgently sent back to Konoha, he was then sent to the Konoha First People's Hospital by the clan members.
There were clan members working here, so they didn't choose anywhere else.
After examination, he had consumed too much chakra, but his injuries were not very serious.
The burns and internal injuries could be easily cured.
No one knew why Fugaku hadn't woken up. He was lying in the hospital bed, receiving nutrient solution, and there were always people by his side.
The Uchiha clan leader was killed in battle. As the young clan leader, Fugaku naturally had to take over.
When he woke up, he would take the position of the clan leader and lead the Uchiha to continue to fulfill his uncle's vision.
This is something that all the families in Konoha are well aware of.
Some people even mocked the Uchiha clan leader for overestimating his abilities and trying to show off on the battlefield at his age.
He could have stayed in the village, living comfortably and without danger. Why did he have to do that?
Only the Uchiha clan knew their own situation, and it was not something they could discuss with outsiders.
In the Hokage's office in Konoha Village.
"The Uchiha clan leader died in this battle, and Fugaku Uchiha is still unconscious."
"What do you all think?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in his office chair, smoking a cigarette, with no sign of sadness or joy on his face.
This incident didn't affect his emotions. He had always been on guard against the Uchiha clan.
"His name can be engraved on the Memorial Stone."
"However, Fugaku Uchiha is still young. If he does something inappropriate in the future, we'll need to guide him."
Homura Mitokado's first sentence was an affirmation of the Uchiha clan leader, but the second one took a different turn.
Politicians always weighed the pros and cons. He was even thinking about how to further weaken the strength of the Uchiha clan.
At this moment, he was smiling like a crafty old fox, which was really annoying.
"Let's wait until Fugaku Uchiha wakes up."
Nemu Koharu's hostility towards the Uchiha clan had been decreasing during her interactions with Tsunade.
She blurted out this sentence without much thought.
She found it hard to get off the boat once she got involved with Kawaki.
"Well, then we'll discuss it later."
Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his pipe, exhaled a thick puff of smoke, and gave Nemu Koharu a long, deep look.
This old partner seemed a bit different.
Only then did Nemu Koharu realize that she might have said something wrong.
"Should we just let Tsunade handle the negotiation with the Land of Wind on her own?"
She changed the topic and nervously avoided meeting Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.
"Yeah, it's just about money. There's no need to worry too much."
"If it weren't for our heavy casualties this time, it would be their turn to surrender."
Every time Hiruzen Sarutobi saw the battle losses reported from the front line, his heart ached.
"I heard that the Land of Earth is also on the verge of collapse."
"I think the war is almost over."
Homura Mitokado wasn't just talking nonsense. He had received definite news.
Rōshi was severely injured and taken back to Iwagakure. The Sand ninjas and Cloud Ninjas had been fighting a bloody battle on the third defensive line for several days.
Both sides had suffered losses, and Ōnoki had contacted the Earth Daimyō.
If nothing unexpected happened, it would be about peace talks.
"Humph, why didn't Ōnoki die at the hands of the Raikage."
Hiruzen Sarutobi snorted, showing his great dissatisfaction with Ōnoki.
If it weren't for his interference, Konoha wouldn't have ended up like this.
But he never thought about what kind of situation there would be if he had gone to the battlefield.
"It's been a long fight."
It had been nearly two years since the war in the Land of Rain. It was indeed a long time.
Nemu Koharu was also occasionally invited to the hospital to treat the injured. She had seen too much pain.
Now she truly hated the war from the bottom of her heart. In her opinion, an early peace would be a good thing.
"Let's end here today."
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want to say more. The general trend of the war couldn't be decided by him sitting in Konoha.
At this point, it's meaningless to say more.
They could only wait calmly for the result of the negotiation at the front line and plan how to further weaken the Uchiha's strength.
A few days later, Tsunade and Kawaki led their team out of the Land of Wind and returned to the camp in the Land of Rain.
The negotiation was scheduled for two days later, and the time had already been set.
The location was also chosen by Kawaki, which was the Konoha camp.
Although Pakura was quite dissatisfied, she reluctantly agreed.
She couldn't defeat them. Konoha didn't need such a controversial method to kill her.
"Sister Pakura, I'll go with you."
Rasa stood aside, his eyes calm.
"Nah, I'll just bring a few elders along."
Pakura was afraid that Rasa might cause some trouble, so she flatly refused his request.
"Don't even try. I'm not taking you."
Seeing that Rasa still wanted to say something, Pakura didn't give him a chance to speak.
And that's how things were decided.
