Under everyone’s surprised gaze, Shinichi exited the Academy while carrying an unconscious Uchiha Shin on his shoulder and made his way toward the Uchiha District.
“What? There was no battle? Not even an argument?”
“The Uchiha Clan actually swallowed this humiliation?”
“This… this is simply unbelievable!”
“I… I think Hokage-sama must have done something so that the Hyuga Patriarch and the Hyuga Patriarch must have reached an agreement! Yes, this must have happened, that’s why Uchiha Patriarch did not come in person!”
“Makes sense… Hokage-sama wouldn’t allow any conflict to occur at the academy.”
“Yes… even if Uchiha Shinichi wanted to do something, he decided against it since children of all the clans go to the academy… The Uchiha wouldn’t dare to offend all the Clans at the same time… when this argument only involved the Hyuga Clan.”
Such a discussion broke out in the village and everyone had different opinions as to why there was no argument between Uchiha Shinichi and Hyuga Kuroto.
As for what exactly happened and why there was no conflict, that’s something very few are aware of.
…Hokage Office
Sandaime Hokage looked at Kakashi with a frown as he questioned, “What exactly happened at the Academy? Uchiha Shinichi did not try to make trouble… this is really surprising?”
The others present in the Hokage Office also looked at Kakashi with doubtful expressions on their faces. Waiting for his explanation.
In the face of everyone’s doubtful gaze, Kakashi could only sigh… he did not understand what happened at the Academy either, how can he explain?
But he had to say something… because other than Kuroto and Shinichi, only he was present in the Principal’s Office.
After a while of pondering, he spoke, “I personally believe that this time the Uchiha Clan doesn’t seem to have any intention of making trouble. The entire time Uchiha Shinichi… acted very politely… there was no aggression or annoyance in his tone and behavior. He treated Kuroto very respectfully(?)… he spoke amicably even with me and Iruka-san… He even went as far as to knock Uchiha Shin unconscious when he saw Shin trying to provoke the teachers.”
“What?!” muttered Asuma in disbelief.
Tsunade asked doubtfully, “It doesn’t make sense… If the Uchiha Clan really had no intention of causing trouble from the start, so why did they send Uchiha Shinichi instead of Uchiha Shisui?” then she looked in the direction of an Anbu, and asked, “What’s going on?”
The Anbu shook his head, “I… I don’t understand what they are thinking.”
At this time, Elder Koharu spoke, “Hiruzen… I think you should be able to understand their behavior. Why did they decide to send Uchiha Shinichi? It seems the Uchiha Clan is also learning from their past mistakes.”
Sandaime nodded, “Yes, I see two things that the Uchiha Clan wanted to accomplish by sending Uchiha Shinichi.” And explained, “First, as soon as we learned that Uchiha Shinichi would be coming to take back Uchiha Shin, we expected there would be some conflict and took measures accordingly. However, Uchiha Shinichi acted differently from our expectations making us as well as the rest of the village realize that the Uchiha Clan is not what we expect them to be.
Second, they were treading waters, trying to figure out how vigilant we are against them, and to what extent we will go to take measures against them.
And they have successfully accomplished both of their goals. This confrontation… they won fair and square…”
The other present in the meeting listened to Sandaime’s thoughts and couldn’t help but nod. This is the most logical explanation.
Only Kakashi was different… he felt that something was still amiss. But he couldn’t figure out what was amiss and could only stay silent in the end.
At this time Tsunade asked, “So… what will be their next move?”
Knock Knock
Just as Tsunade asked this question, suddenly there was a knock on the door of the Hokage’s Office.
An Anbu walked in and passed a letter to Hiruzen as he said, “Hokage-sama… Uchiha Shisui came to deliver this letter.”
Everyone raised their eyebrows in surprise.
Sandaime took the letter from the Anbu as he asked, “Did he say something?”
The Anbu shook his head, “He only asked me to deliver this letter to Hokage-sama. And left after that.”
“I see good work.” Nodded Hiruzen as the Anbu left the office.
He opened the letter to read and soon his brows wrinkled in a frown.
Jiraiya asked hurriedly, “Sensei… what’s written in the letter?”
Sandaime sighed as he passed the letter to Jiraiya and explained to everyone, “This is Uchiha Clan’s next move… Apparently, Uchiha Fugaku has requested me to organize a Council meeting tomorrow morning.”
“That was fast.” Muttered Elder Koharu, and added after a pause, “Rather than creating a public spectacle, they want to address this matter behind closed doors.”
Jiraiya put down the letter and asked, “What are you going to do Sensei?”
Sandaime sighed, “What else can I do? Uchiha Patriarch has requested a Council Meeting tomorrow, it will have to be organized. Even if I am Hokage, I can not refuse.”
…
Conference Hall, Hokage Building
Early morning of the next day, the Patriarchs of various Clans and the heads of various departments arrived and gathered at the Conference Hall of the Hokage Building for the Council Meeting proposed by the Uchiha Clan.
Hyuga Kuroto also received the invitation and arrived at the Conference Hall.
Looking at the dignified expression of the members of the Elder Council, Kuroto shook his head and took his seat as he waited for the Conference to start.
Since the position of vice-principal is helped by Itachi, so he too took part in the meeting. As for Uchiha Shisui, well, he is recognized as the strongest Shinobi in the five great shinobi villages, so he had the right to attend the Council Meeting as well.
As all the members of the Council arrived, the meeting started.
Sandaime looked at Fugaku, asking him to state his purpose for holding the meeting.
As Sandaime looked at Fugaku, he stood up, took a sharp glance at all the participants in the meeting, and spoke in a deep voice, “I propose that we hold elections for choosing Godaime Hokage!”
“Huh?” Everyone was taken aback by Fugaku’s words. The ones most shocked were none other than the members of the Elder Council.
While coming to the meeting, everyone had assumed that the Uchiha Clan would address yesterday’s issue, and they knew that appeasing the Uchiha Clan wouldn’t be easy, but the situation is completely different here!
After recovering from the initial shock, Elder Koharu asked, “Fugaku… what do you mean by ‘hold elections to elect Godaime Hokage?’”
