So, under Ronglin's deliberate arrangement, Shisui very carelessly let some news slip out.
This instantly caused the entire Uchiha clan to explode. For a time, everyone knew that the clan head, Fugaku Uchiha, had activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, and also knew the news that Ronglin was making Fugaku Uchiha abdicate.
This directly caused a huge wave within the Uchiha clan. At this time, Fugaku Uchiha having the Mangekyo Sharingan was just a minor shock; the heavy news was Ronglin making Fugaku Uchiha abdicate.
"This brat!"
Uchiha Izumi's father, the clan's second elder, was fuming at home, his beard bristling and eyes glaring. He believed that Ronglin was a "white-eyed wolf." It wasn't just the second elder; many Uchiha clan members also believed this. They thought that if the clan head hadn't invited him back to the clan, he would still be wandering somewhere. Yet now, he was eyeing the clan head's position.
But some held different opinions. When Ronglin returned to the clan, he had already grown up. One could say that his growth had little to do with the Uchiha clan's influence. And the position of clan head, if one had the ability, could take it. Just like the Hokage, why couldn't he eye the clan head position?
For a time, not to mention the entire Uchiha clan, even Konoha was shocked, shocked by Ronglin's audacity, daring to directly make Fugaku Uchiha abdicate. They even said that only under his own leadership could the Uchiha reach their peak,
and that by following Fugaku Uchiha, the Uchiha would soon fall into an abyss. Even people from other clans were shocked after hearing this news. What exactly did this Uchiha Ronglin want to do?
Eyeing the Hokage's position on one side, and eyeing the Uchiha on the other. Was this the rhythm of taking everything in one fell swoop?
"Hmph, I knew it."
Hiashi Hyūga, who was recuperating at home, snorted coldly after hearing this news. From the bottom of his heart, he disliked Ronglin, believing that Ronglin's personality was exactly like a wolf: insidious. In the end, he would bite you whenever. Such a person must never be allowed to remain.
If Ronglin had confronted Hiashi Hyūga before growing stronger, then Hiashi Hyūga, even if he bore immense guilt and condemnation, would have eliminated him! However, it was too late. Now, Ronglin's wings were already fully fledged. It was hopeless to try and suppress him, and worse, he might even be bitten back.
This time on the battlefield, he was thoroughly screwed over by him. Hiashi Hyūga wanted to vomit blood from anger, but he could only endure it. For a dignified clan head to be half-dead with anger by a mere brat, if this news got out, absolutely no one would believe it, but this kind of thing truly happened.
The only one who could be considered relatively calm was the Third Hokage. After hearing this news, he didn't react much, merely nodding slightly to indicate he knew.
Almost the entire Konoha was filled with various discussions, rumors, and speculation because of this news. The person involved, Fugaku Uchiha, angrily smashed quite a few things at home, making the still-young Sasuke cry out. Mikoto Uchiha could only sigh quietly, with no other recourse.
"Hehe... Fugaku Uchiha, I wonder if you can still endure it. I'd like to see if you, Fugaku Uchiha, are truly wholeheartedly for the Uchiha, or for the power in your own hands." When Ronglin heard the news that Shisui had brought back,
he couldn't help but laugh. He was very surprised that Fugaku Uchiha hadn't come out to say anything at this point. He was very silent, just like himself. This meant he had tacitly admitted that these things were true, which allowed even crazier rumors to spread.
"Our Hidden Mist Village agrees to your Konoha's request. When can we start the exchange?!"
Ronglin hadn't misjudged. As long as some basic interests were involved, Hidden Mist Village would agree to Konoha's terms, without any further thoughts of delaying Konoha's progress.
"Once the exchanged items arrive, you can take your people and leave."
"How do we know Konoha won't try to pull a fast one in the dark?!"
"Are you an idiot?" Ronglin looked at the other person with an expression that said, "You're such an idiot," rarely saying more. He looked at Kisame: "Ask your Mizukage-sama, can Konoha pull any tricks at this point?"
"Send a message to the village; tell them to send the goods over." Kisame raised his hand to stop his subordinates from speaking, and looked at Ronglin with a half-smile: "Konoha won't pull any tricks on us."
First, Konoha couldn't afford to lose that person. Furthermore, Konoha was still in a continuous war with Hidden Stone Village and Hidden Sand Village. Doing this would only provoke the outbreak of Hidden Mist Village. It would not be good, and the second war with Hidden Mist Village would continue to break out.
So Kisame could conclude that Konoha would not only not pull any tricks, but would also send people to ensure their safe departure from the Land of Fire. Indeed, talking to reasonable people saved trouble. Ronglin smiled slightly, then chuckled: "So, what about the Three-Tails?"
"I don't know if you agree to my request. If you don't, then I can only say sorry, the Three-Tails can only stay and fish."
Ronglin was not joking. If Kisame disagreed with his condition, he would only let the Three-Tails go fishing. Why keep such an ugly guy? Moreover, the Three-Tails' strength could only fully erupt in water. It was a bit like 647 help. No matter how you looked at it, Ronglin would not keep the Three-Tails as a pet, even though Tailed Beasts would not starve to death even if they didn't eat for many years.
"Can I know who the other person you want is?"
Kisame neither agreed nor refused. Instead, he asked about the identity of the other person. Ronglin laughed when he heard this. "You've already agreed in your heart and made a decision, yet you're pretending to ask like this. Are you trying to make it seem like you won't lose face?"
He chuckled, Ronglin didn't expose him, and said very casually: "A small-time character, named Hoshigaki Kisame, a subordinate of the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost. Oh, and I want the pufferfish muscles too!!!"
"Hoshigaki Kisame?"
Kisame frowned slightly. Who was this Number One person? He had never heard of him. Not just Kisame, but no one else had noticed such a person. A subordinate of Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost?
That's just a small character, but the problem is, why would Uchiha Ronglin want him? Does this guy have some special hobby? Pufferfish muscles... Everyone just wanted to spit in his face. "You clearly said you wanted pufferfish muscles, why do you have to bring a small-time character just to say pufferfish muscles? Isn't this just trying to trick people?! Shameless!!!"
