The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

Chapter 39 This is... Qing's eye roll.

The battle in the East Coast forest did not last long.

All six Hidden Mist Ninja have been captured by the Uchiha's Shinma Squad.

The Byakugan in the eye socket of the Hidden Mist Jonin Ao has been dug out and placed in a nutrient tank.

Despite the excruciating pain, Aoki raised his head, blood seeping from his eyes: "Uchiha...you won't succeed...we, Kirigakure...will make you pay the price..."

A member of the Divine Demon team rushed over using the Instantaneous Movement Technique and said urgently, "Captain, the clan leader wants you to go to the meeting room immediately."

Uchiha Mitsunori gently shook the glass jar, watching the Byakugan rotate in the liquid, and finally put it into his pocket.

"Understood, I'll be right there. Keep a close eye on these prisoners."

Seeing that the other party was ignoring him, Kirigakure Jonin Ao changed his strategy.

He endured the pain of his eyes being gouged out and said, "Could you please bandage my team members' wounds? They'll bleed to death if this continues. Since you captured us alive, you surely don't want a corpse, right?"

Uchiha Mitsunori didn't turn around, but simply waved his hand and said, "Just give them some basic first aid, and make sure they don't die!"

Uchiha Yakumi, a member of the God and Demon team, patted his chest and confidently laughed, "Brother Sanfeng, I'll handle it. Don't worry!"

Inside the high-level meeting room of the base, two Uchiha guards immediately opened the door upon seeing Mitsumine.

The moment the door was opened, a fierce argument erupted like a tidal wave.

Akimichi Choza slammed his hand on the table, making it rattle.

"Clan Chief Fugaku! Your Uchiha clan took 30 billion ryo in reparations from Iwagakure, do you intend to monopolize this lucrative prize of Kirigakure?"

Nara Shikaku coughed lightly and stood up as well.

He said with a serious expression, "Let me remind you all, our Ino-Shika-Cho clans have followed Lord Minato in a bitter battle on the Kumogakure front for many years, suffering heavy casualties, and we haven't even seen a single copper coin yet. Meanwhile, Kirigakure has robbed over 30 billion ryo from Kuma Castle and over 10 billion ryo from Shiratori Castle, which is a solid 40 billion ryo."

"When did the Ino-Shika-Cho trio become so brave that they actually want to divide up Kirigakure?"

Uchiha Mitsunaga's voice wasn't loud, but it instantly silenced the entire conference room.

"How about we, the Uchiha, Kurama, and other clans, stay behind to guard the area while you go and attack Kirigakure?"

Nara Shikaku's smile froze, and he awkwardly touched his chin.

"Captain Sanfeng is joking. The Uchiha are now the number one clan in the ninja world. You captured more than 5000 Iwagakure ninjas on the Iwagakure battlefield. We, the Ino-Shika-Cho clan, greatly admire such an achievement."

Uchiha Mitsunori ignored Shikaku's flattery and walked straight to Uchiha Fugaku's left side, pulling out a chair and sitting down. He deliberately tilted the chair back, resting his calves on the conference table, appearing nonchalant.

"Does Chief Nara Shikaku have any important information to share?"

A flicker of wariness crossed Shikaku's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "What does Captain Mitsumine want to know?"

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, having ventured deep into the Land of Fire, encountered Might Guy, a perennial genin of Konoha. As a result, Might Guy used the secret technique Eight Gates Formation, resulting in the deaths of four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and the escape of three. The four swords have now been returned to Konoha."

"Captain Mikado, is the intelligence accurate?" Inuzuka Tsuru suddenly spoke, and the ninja dog beside her barked softly, seemingly sensing its master's anxiety.

Uchiha Mitsunori sighed slightly: "The Eight Gates Formation is an A-rank ninjutsu. The conditions for its training and use are harsh. After activating the Eight Gates Formation, one can unleash dozens of times the combat power, but the price is that the user will burn all of their blood and chakra and die."

The Kazami clan chief sneered, "No wonder the Ino-Shika-Cho clans were urging us to attack Kirigakure; it seems they received intelligence!"

Chief Anma slammed his fist on the table and said, "Damn it, why didn't the village inform us of such important information?"

Upon hearing this, the way everyone in the conference room looked at the three clan leaders of the Pig-Deer-Butterfly Clan changed.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Nara Shikaku quickly smiled apologetically and said, "We just received the news. Kirigakure is currently weak, but they have a lot of money and resources. We should discuss how to conquer Kirigakure and distribute this huge fortune."

Uchiha Mitsunori reached into his robes and gently placed the glass jar containing the Byakugan on the table.

"Ladies and gentlemen, before we start arguing, I think you should take a look at this."

He held up the glass jar, and the white pupil in that eyeball looked particularly eerie.

Hiashi Hyuga narrowed his eyes slightly, and the veins on his temples bulged as he subconsciously activated his Byakugan.

"This is... Ao's Byakugan?" Hiashi's voice was somewhat angry.

"That's right. The six-man squad of Kirigakure Jonin Ao has been captured by us, and I've also obtained some important information."

Uchiha Mitsunori deliberately paused for a moment to attract the attention of those around him.

"This afternoon, Kirigakure sealed the Three-Tails into Nohara Rin, a disciple of Minato Namikaze, and then sent 50 Kirigakure ANBU Jonin to escort her. As a result, Nohara Rin and all 50 Kirigakure ANBU Jonin died. Kirigakure Jonin Ao was sent here to gather relevant information."

A collective gasp filled the tent as Nara Shikaku stroked his stubble, a shrewd glint in his eyes.

"With the death of the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, more than half of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist gone, plus the deaths of 50 Kirigakure ANBU Jonin, and the capture of Kirigakure Jonin Ao... Kirigakure is probably at its weakest point right now."

Chief Kurama stood up and said excitedly, "Chief Fugaku, the current situation makes it absolutely necessary for us to launch an attack on Kirigakure."

Yamanaka Inoichi frowned slightly and said, "If our Ino-Shika-Cho clans also join the war, there will be a serious gap in the defense of Konoha headquarters. What will happen to the defense of the rear?"

The debate erupted again, mainly divided into two factions: one led by Uchiha Fugaku, and the other by reinforcements who had retreated from the Kumogakure battlefield, centered around the Ino-Shika-Cho, Inuzuka, and Aburame clans.

Uchiha Mitsunori coldly observed these so-called "big shots" haggling like market vendors over some interests, and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Seeing everyone arguing heatedly, Uchiha Shisui, with a worried expression, said, "I'm willing to stay and take charge of the garrison duty!"

Upon hearing Shisui's words, Fugaku Uchiha felt somewhat displeased, as this was a crucial time to fight for the clan's interests.

But continuing to argue was pointless, so he coughed lightly to attract the attention of those around him.

"Quiet! It's late at night... Everyone go back and get some rest, we'll discuss this again tomorrow morning..."
