Then Shisui found Itachi and said, "Itachi, the former clan leader has already been sent to the Interrogation Team, and after getting the information, he will probably be transferred to prison. There shouldn't be any issues during this time, so don't worry, this is a necessary procedure."
After speaking, Shisui saw the typical expression on Itachi's face, knowing that the final strike was dealt by him to his own father. Worried that Itachi might have a psychological burden, he comforted him, "Itachi, you didn't do anything wrong. The former clan leader was too extreme in this matter, he shouldn't have used you to disrupt the peace. Right now, the village is working on a major task which concerns the peace of the entire Ninja World..."
Previously, Uchiha Shisui had also been in the Hokage Office, where he heard about Uchiha Yoichi's plan. Moreover, both the Second Generation Hokage and the Fourth Generation Hokage support the unification of the Ninja World, and he also thinks this matter is beneficial for peace, thus he supports it wholeheartedly.
Additionally, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Masato were supposed to accompany Senju Tobirama to the Hidden Sand Village, but as Senju Tobirama needed several Hyuga ninjas, they were replaced by Hizashi and another ninja from the Hyuga Main Family.
"I understand, Shisui."
After Uchiha Itachi finished speaking, he was about to say something else when he saw someone approaching them.
Uchiha Shisui also saw the arrival and immediately greeted with respect, "Orochimaru-sama, is there anything you need?"
Orochimaru smiled and greeted, "Oh, it's Shisui, I heard that you captured Uchiha Fugaku?"
Uchiha Shisui nodded and said, "Yes, he has already been handed over to the Interrogation Team."
"Is that so, I heard there was something strange accompanying Uchiha Fugaku during the battle, it's now sealed by the Security Team, may I take a look?"
Orochimaru asked with a smile. Before coming, he happened to meet some members of the Security Team, and inquired about the situation; upon hearing about Tobi, he suddenly became interested.
"Well... Orochimaru-sama, I am not part of the Security Team, that entity was sealed and is being monitored by the Security Team..."
Uchiha Shisui scratched his head and then said, "I'll guide you to Captain Masato, Senior Masato is always managing the Security Team matters."
He was only being valued as a member of the Uchiha race; moreover, this time it was due to Itachi's request that he acted alongside the Security Team.
Currently, Uchiha Shisui is still waiting for the Genin Squad assigned to him.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Shisui."
Having said that, Uchiha Shisui then spoke with Itachi briefly and led Orochimaru toward the Security Team.
After Uchiha Shisui left, Uchiha Itachi directly went home.
————————————
In the Hidden Sand Village, the confrontation between the two sides was almost in a water-and-fire contradiction, yet Rasa didn't dare to make a move.
"Pakura, is this your intention?"
Rasa gritted his teeth with hatred at Pakura's face, deeply regretting not eliminating Pakura and her group before the Leaf Village ninja arrived. When dozens of powerful ninjas from the First Generation Hokage and the Second Generation Hokage arrived, the hope of suppressing the rebellion in the Hidden Sand Village became incredibly slim.
Upon learning that five thousand Konoha ninjas had invaded the border of the Land of Wind, Rasa directly slumped down in his chair.
The Hidden Sand had no hope at all!
Splintered by Pakura into such a large faction, even if Rasa, the Fourth Generation Kazekage, counted the Ninja Academy students, he could only gather four to five thousand ninjas, not strong enough to face the Konoha ninjas.
Moreover, the opposite side included a revived First Generation Hokage, Senju Hashirama, who reportedly caught eight Tailed Beasts and distributed them among the other four ninja villages during the First Ninja World War.
With such people, the Hidden Sand Village had just lost its One-tailed Jinchuriki, making it impossible to be a match for the Konoha ninjas.
"Indeed, Rasa, let me tell you the truth, during the Hidden Mist envoy's surprise attack, I was destined to die if not for the Fifth Generation Hokage saving me."
Pakura coldly addressed Rasa and the Hidden Sand high officials, causing the rest to avert their eyes under her gaze.
Even Chiyo couldn't help but turn her head away, since she handled the matter back then, heavily favoring the Fourth Generation; but the Hidden Sand Village couldn't let such scandals come to light, yet Chiyo hadn't expected Pakura to still bear a grudge against the matter.
"Moreover, after visiting Konoha, I realized what a difficult life the villagers of the Hidden Sand Village lead. The Fifth Generation Hokage once told me that if the villagers of the Hidden Sand Village were given the choice, they would probably prefer to be dogs in Konoha than to be humans in the Hidden Sand Village...."
"Nonsense!"
The Hidden Sand high officials, including the Fourth Generation Kazekage Rasa, couldn't help but have reddened eyes at this statement, which was excessively insulting and unbearable!
"Konoha's dogs can eat meat, while back then the villagers of the Hidden Sand Village... Ha ha, Fourth Generation, under your leadership, could the villagers receive three pieces of bread each day!"
Rasa said with a flushed face and intense ears, "This is Konoha's scheme to blockade supplies..."
"Then what solution do you have, Fourth Generation? Betray your allies? Lead the villagers to starve to death?"
Pakura finished speaking and tossed over Konoha's offered benefits, mocking Rasa, "These are the terms provided by Konoha, which I will announce to all the villagers of the Hidden Sand Village. Then, let's see whether you choose war or starvation for all."
Since the Hidden Sand signed the contract with Konoha, the village's supplies have been delivered every five days. Even if Rasa were to occupy the warehouses, it would be of no use as there would only be supplies left to last the entire village for about two more days.
In two days, without new supplies arriving, even the Kazekage would face hunger; despite the climate of the Hidden Sand Village being unsuitable for long storage, with only some main foods being suitable for preservation, most supplies are consumed as they are brought.
Upon seeing the 'Konoha's Benevolent Notification to Villagers' thrown by Pakura, outlining the terms, Rasa tightened his grip, causing the veins in his hand to almost burst.
The terms aren't great, but as the Fourth Generation Kazekage, he simply cannot achieve them.
Urban areas suitable for settlement, every family receiving a job allocation opportunity, educational prospects for their children, these mere three points are enough for Rasa to imagine that countless villagers from the Hidden Sand Village would flock to Konoha in crazed enthusiasm.
If the Hidden Sand Village were left without villagers, how many ninjas would remain on his side?
'It's all Pakura's fault, if only I could just kill her...'
"Fourth Generation Kazekage, if you wish to start a war, I will accompany you to the end!"
Senju Tobirama suddenly used the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to appear beside Pakura, along with Senju Hashirama; he had left a Flying Thunder God Mark on Pakura earlier, and upon sensing Rasa's murderous intent from outside earlier, immediately teleported in with others.
Upon entering, the strong Chakra emitting from Senju Tobirama caused all the Hidden Sand high officials to break into cold sweat, even Rasa and Chiyo showed significantly grave expressions.
Even from a deceased person, such strong Chakra still... Chiyo couldn't help but feel powerless over the future of the Hidden Sand Village.
"Tobirama, it's still the negotiation stage, let's wait a bit longer..."
Senju Hashirama waved his hand in dissuasion, and upon hearing his brother's words, Senju Tobirama withdrew his Chakra.
"Second Generation Hokage, if I'm not mistaken, the Reanimation Jutsu cannot fully unleash the full strength from life..."
"Indeed, even though this Reanimation Jutsu's body is crafted specifically, it's still not comparable to the Chakra from my lifetime, thus I hope you all give it serious thought."
Senju Tobirama said to Chiyo. Some of his Jutsus couldn't be hidden from people from the same era, as they had been used multiple times during warfare.
After speaking, Senju Tobirama directed his gaze toward Pakura.
Pakura had nothing else to say, unless Rasa dared to wage war, their ultimate fate would be to slowly witness the ninjas from the Hidden Sand Village deflect; if Rasa dares to wage war... Pakura thinks the likelihood is slim as Rasa is quite cowardly.
"Let's go, Second Generation Hokage, First Generation Hokage."
The three of them left the Kazekage Building, outside there were many ninjas gathered, but it was of no use as Senju Tobirama immediately used the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to take Pakura and Senju Hashirama away.
A few seconds passed before a furious growl of rage was heard from within the Kazekage Building, "Bastards!!"
