Looking at the handsome man with black hair and black eyes who emerged from the shadows, Uchiha Hikari guessed that he must also be an Uchiha.
"I am the current Head of the Uchiha Clan, and it's not like hundreds of years ago when there were wars every day," Lan Luo said, trying to soften his tone.
Hikari probably understood the current situation, but she didn't quite believe what the man in front of her said. After all, after hundreds of years, she must have been released because she was needed for something. Her current strength was enough to attract attention. Thinking of this, Hikari's foot involuntarily took half a step back.
"Hikari, may I call you that? If you don't believe me, you can come back to the current Village with me and see for yourself." Lan Luo didn't press her too much.
Hikari slowly began to believe him, but she still remained vigilant.
"Let's go, I'll show you the world hundreds of years later." Lan Luo turned his head and walked out of the cave as if he didn't care at all.
As Lan Luo walked out, he saw four people staring at Uchiha Hikari, who had followed him out. Lan Luo then took the initiative to introduce them: "This is Uchiha Hikari. Hikari, this is Senju Tsunade, the only surviving Senju clan member. These are Uzumaki Nanako and her daughter Uzumaki Karin, also among the few remaining Uzumaki Clan members. Next to Tsunade is Shizune."
Tsunade was furious at this point and immediately punched Lan Luo, knocking him to the ground. Lan Luo didn't dodge, deliberately falling to the ground. After all, it was said that with so few clan members, it would only improve their relationship.
Hikari also felt that this clan head was different from those in the Sengoku period. Although he had a sharp tongue, his heart shouldn't be bad. Hikari then nodded to the four people.
Lan Luo then stood up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and said to everyone, "Let's go, it's time to return to the Village."
Originally, Lan Luo had planned to go find Orochimaru, but there wasn't enough time. That article was expected to spread throughout the Ninja World by tomorrow.
Along the way, Lan Luo told Hikari about some of the history and changes during the years she was sealed. From time to time, Tsunade and the others would also come over and add details for Hikari. Eventually, the group became chattering, and although Hikari remained as aloof as ever, she had begun to trust Lan Luo's words.
After two days of traveling, they finally returned to the Village, which was in chaos. For some unknown reason, an article titled "The Strongest Clan History in the Ninja World" had been scattered throughout the streets of Konoha that morning. By the time the Anbu tried to block the news, it was already too late.
At this moment, the Hokage's office was filled with smoke. The Third Hokage and the two elders sat there without speaking. Danzo slammed his hand on the desk and roared, "It must be the Uchiha, the inherently evil Uchiha Clan! Hiruzen, I told you long ago that the Uchiha Clan cannot be trusted!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi smoked in silence at this point. Utatane Koharu then spoke, "Hiruzen, we need to come up with a plan now. Whatever happens, we must suppress it quickly."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was in a bind at this point. Our clan indeed has so many Ninja; this certainly can't be hidden from those Ninja clans who want a thorough investigation. Many things were indeed tacitly accepted, but this guy Danzo was the mastermind behind the Nine-Tailed. He absolutely didn't believe that, but it was possible that he was the one who leaked the information.
"Hokage-sama, the Hokage building is surrounded by radical villagers! They demand you come out and explain!" An Anbu rushed in frantically. He wouldn't usually act like this, but seeing the article and the villagers, he panicked.
Hiruzen Sarutobi knew at this point that he couldn't hide any longer; someone had to step forward and show a stance.
When the villagers saw Hiruzen Sarutobi, escorted by the Anbu, walk onto the high platform, he said, "Villagers, please trust me, your Hokage. This is an article sent by another Village to disrupt the internal unity of our Village. The contents are not credible. I assure you all here that a Jonin meeting will be held tomorrow, and I will explain all the circumstances to everyone then. If there are no other matters, please disperse for now!" After hearing these words, the villagers slowly began to scatter.
At the same time, the clan heads of the Ino–Shika–Chō gathered together. Akimichi Choza was the first to speak, "Shikaku, what do you think?" Shikaku rolled his eyes, thinking he'd rather just sit and watch, but still said, "Konoha is about to change." Inoichi Yamanaka said, "Then let's gather our clan members back to the clan compound." Nara Shikaku thought for a moment and also said, "Alright, I just worry that other Villages might take advantage and attack. That would be a huge mess." After speaking, he looked towards the Uchiha Clan's compound.
At the Hyuga clan compound, Hyuga Hiashi sat in the main seat, watching the elders of the main family below arguing fiercely. Hyuga Hiashi slammed his hand on the table and said, "First, gather all clan members except those on the borders. If there's internal strife in Konoha, we need to be able to protect ourselves." This time, none of the elders objected.
The Aburame clan, Inuzuka clan, Kurama clan, Gekko clan, and various other clans in Konoha all issued orders to gather their clan Ninja.
Lan Luo, completely unconcerned, brought Uchiha Hikari and the Uzumaki mother and daughter to his home. Normally, the presence of two Uzumaki Clan members would immediately lead to questioning, but with Konoha in such chaos, no one cared about such things.
As Hikari entered Konoha, she meticulously observed everything. This peace and beauty were indeed unimaginable for a girl from the Sengoku period. She also knew the reason for the current chaos within the Village, and Lan Luo had told her why he sought her out. But what moved Hikari the most was Lan Luo's phrase, "Even without the Yata no Kagami, I would have saved you." It made her feel that there was still someone in this world who cared about her.
Shortly after Lan Luo and the others arrived home, Uchiha Inabi came knocking and said, "Clan Head, the elders are at Fugaku's house and want you to come over."
"I won't go over. Just tell them to gather the clan members who are outside, like the other clans. We'll have a big meeting tonight; call all clan members, remember, all clan members," Lan Luo repeated twice.
Upon returning home, he felt a bit tired from being out for a few days. After showering and having dinner, he took Hikari to the clan compound by the Naka River. By then, the clan members were already waiting there.
In the crowd, he also saw Izumi, looking sulky. Fugaku and the two elders sat quietly, with their faction's Ninja behind them. Lan Luo walked in and slowly released his Conqueror's Haki, not targeting anyone, but simply to make them quiet.
"I believe everyone knows the reason for this meeting, but before we begin, I'd like to introduce a clan member, Uchiha Hikari. This is an Uchiha from the Sengoku period, sealed by the Senju and Sarutobi Clans themselves," Lan Luo spoke at this point.
"Tomorrow is the Jonin meeting, and all matters will be resolved. I will also find a way to reclaim our clan compound in the center of the Village," Lan Luo remembered Konoha's future housing prices; Sakura wouldn't even be able to afford to repair a damaged house.
"Also, for the next few days, clan members should stay within the clan compound. If you have time, modify the clan's barrier. Right now, anyone in Konoha can freely enter the Uchiha compound." Lan Luo was referring to the Anbu and Root. Obito was a different case; even a powerful Konoha couldn't stop him from coming and going as he pleased. Lan Luo wanted to design a Space Sealing Technique, but there were too few Sealing Technique available right now, so it was temporarily impossible.
