In the large Hokage office, the Third Hokage, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado sat with their eyes closed, silently meditating, creating a strange sense of oppression in the vast office.
"Sarutobi, do you think he'll come?" Homura Mitokado suddenly asked.
Koharu Utatane also looked at the Third Hokage.
As soon as he finished speaking, a brief silence fell over the room before the Third Hokage said, "I trust Minato. I believe he will come."
"If he can't even overcome these dangers, how could he have repelled the Cloud and Mist, and even A, from the A and B duo, acknowledged his strength?"
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were stunned.
This answer was clearly not what they expected.
"Sarutobi, are you making things too simple?" Homura Mitokado said.
Soon, an Anbu ninja appeared in the office like a ghost.
"I found information about the bounty hunter who contacted Danzo. Besides the Fūma clan, there's also Kakuzu, who once attacked the First Hokage and assassinated the high-ranking officials of Takigakure," the Anbu ninja said, taking out a scroll.
"It's him?" Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado's faces changed.
However, a hint of relief flashed in their eyes.
The Third Hokage's slightly aged face showed a change in expression.
"Tell Minato Namikaze to come see me immediately."
The Third Hokage had been a bit calm at first about Minato Namikaze's and Kai's importance.
However, after learning that Danzo had actually hired this kind of monster to assassinate him, he was completely flustered.
"Sarutobi, you're making a fuss over nothing. If the kid is dead, he's dead. We don't have to worry too much. Don't forget, we're at war now, and it's a crucial moment," Koharu Utatane suddenly said.
Homura Mitokado nodded in agreement. "Koharu is right. The less trouble, the better for Konoha."
Seeing the two advisors giving such answers, the Third Hokage was stunned. Still, he chose to quickly pull open the door and go in person.
"Hokage-sama, I've brought Kai."
The Third Hokage had just opened the door, and what he saw was Minato Namikaze and a slightly unfamiliar face.
"It's him?" Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado's expressions changed, and they couldn't help but stand up.
Looking at Kai, who stood side by side with Minato Namikaze at the office door, they felt a little dazed.
In their eyes, Kai was too young.
At only fourteen or fifteen years old, he had the strength to repel the Cloud and Mist alone.
Even they couldn't match that.
If he grew up, his future strength was unimaginable.
"You're Uchiha Kai?" The Third Hokage breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come in and rest for a bit. You're not what I expected."
Seeing the Third Hokage step aside, Kai didn't hesitate at all. He walked straight in.
Minato Namikaze was stunned. He touched his nose helplessly and followed him in.
"Hmph, what a rude little brat," Koharu Utatane snorted.
However, as soon as the words left her mouth, she met Kai's gaze.
The moment their eyes met, a crimson color quickly spread in Kai's pupils.
The nine-tomoe Sharingan spun, emitting a strange aura of disaster.
Ah!
Koharu Utatane's expression changed dramatically.
"Kid, you dare!" Homura Mitokado's figure flickered, and he quickly appeared beside Kai, his right hand transforming into an eagle claw, reaching out to grab Kai.
"Sealing Technique: Water Chain Binding!"
A mysterious sealing formation quickly spread out from Homura Mitokado's right foot as the center.
At the same time, four chains made of water condensed out of thin air, quickly wrapping around Kai's body.
However, as soon as this attack was launched, Homura Mitokado felt the world changing, as if the stars were shifting.
"Genjutsu Release!"
The Third Hokage shouted urgently.
Homura Mitokado suddenly woke up, gasping for breath. He realized that the Water Chain Binding he had just used had actually bound his own limbs.
Koharu Utatane was sweating profusely.
"Kai, what are you doing?!" Homura Mitokado shouted angrily. "Someone, grab him!"
His roar of anger echoed through the office.
However, not a single Anbu ninja appeared.
"Don't get excited. I know you're curious about my eye technique. I just showed you a little demonstration," Kai smiled warmly.
"Genjutsu Hypnotic Eye. Anyone who makes brief eye contact with me will be instantly hypnotized."
"Of course, if a ninja is strong, has a strong will, and is experienced in combat, this simple hypnotic eye won't work on them."
Release!
Kai's nine-tomoe Sharingan faded, and the genjutsu instantly broke.
The Anbu hiding in the surrounding area all appeared in the office, a total of eight.
Moreover, each of them exuded the aura of a seasoned veteran.
"Kid, are you mocking us for being hypnotized?" Homura Mitokado's face darkened. He shouted angrily, "Someone, grab him quickly."
The eight Anbu were stunned. They looked at each other and then at the Third Hokage.
They were the Hokage's direct Anbu and only took orders from the Hokage.
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were high-ranking officials and advisors of Konoha.
But it was impossible for them to order them to act.
"Step aside," the Third Hokage waved his hand.
The eight Anbu ninjas didn't hesitate at all. They disappeared on the spot.
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado's faces changed.
"Sarutobi, what do you mean? He attacked Konoha's high-ranking officials and even caused trouble in the Hokage's office. He should be punished," Koharu Utatane shouted urgently.
Homura Mitokado didn't speak, but thinking about how he had been caught in the genjutsu and then bound by his own Water Whip, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Alright, Kai was just showing off a little. I'll handle this. You two don't need to say anything," the Third Hokage said with a tone of finality.
"Moreover, I'm the Hokage. If you're not injured, then shut up."
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado's faces changed. They knew that the usually steady Sarutobi Hiruzen would only show such firmness when it came to deciding the fate of Konoha.
After glancing at Kai, Homura Mitokado snorted. "Since the Hokage doesn't need us here, then as Konoha's advisors, Koharu and I will leave."
"I hope the Third Hokage doesn't do anything that endangers Konoha's foundation. Otherwise, we won't hesitate to go to the Daimyo."
