The blood on the ground is still flowing.
The corpse of the Jonin from The Hidden Grass Village lying on the ground continues to remind everyone that this little kid from Konoha Village mercilessly beheaded a person.
"I killed someone, and yet you're not afraid of me..."
The ninja sword in Uchiha Sasuke's hand was drawn half a foot, his gaze carried a hint of danger as he looked at the group of Jonin: "Do you think the sword in my hand is not sharp enough?"
"..."
A group of Jonin involuntarily took a few steps back.
The other Genin who just finished the exam also looked pale, they never expected that among those taking the exam together, there would be such a madman!
Killing...
As ninjas, they should have been used to it already.
However, this is usually done on the battlefield, Uchiha Sasuke's action of killing on the streets of Konoha is a rarity!
"This kid..."
"He has caused big trouble!"
The faces of Konoha's instructor Jonin were all somewhat gloomy. After a moment of astonishment, they finally realized the gravity of the situation!
"Alright."
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, approached with a pipe in his mouth.
Behind Sarutobi Hiruzen followed Hokage Advisors Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, with an old man whose face was wrapped in bandages by their side.
It was the long-retired Shimura Danzo.
As a forcibly retired old man, it was rare for Danzo to come out.
Shimura Danzo was invited by the two Hokage Advisors to watch this Chunin exam, mainly to observe the situation with Uchiha Sasuke.
There was no other way.
No one in Konoha understands the Uchiha better than Danzo.
As a result, everyone witnessed the scene of Uchiha Sasuke killing someone on the spot, ignoring the other party's identity and any occasion, he decapitated the leader Jonin from Hidden Grass Village!
"This... this... lawless!"
Mitokado Homura looked at the headless corpse on the ground, his hand trembling with anger, already anticipating the trouble that Konoha was about to face.
"It's somewhat excessive!"
Utatane Koharu frowned tightly, turning to the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Hiruzen, you also saw it, this kid acts with reckless abandon, killing the messenger from another Ninja Village in the village will bring trouble to Konoha..."
"..."
Shimura Danzo leaned on his cane, a mocking smile tugging at the corners of his lips, as if ridiculing the helplessness of the two Hokage Advisors.
"Sasuke."
Sarutobi Hiruzen, in a deep voice, inquired about the origin of the incident, his gaze fixed on Uchiha Sasuke: "Hurting the messenger from The Hidden Grass Village without cause, what exactly is going on?"
This is a troublesome matter.
The Hidden Grass Village is small in power, yet it is one of Konoha's allied nations.
If it were just The Hidden Grass Village, Konoha could easily ignore it; however, Konoha's allies are not only The Hidden Grass Village but also include The Hidden Sand Village, one of the Five Great Countries, and if not handled properly, it could cause diplomatic outrage...
"This was not without reason."
Uchiha Sasuke retracted his ninja sword, reaching out to his ninja headband, and carelessly tore apart a facade: "People from The Hidden Grass Village insulted a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan, wasn't it naturally right for me to kill him? Isn't the headband on our heads a symbol of the former Uzumaki Clan? I can't remain indifferent to the humiliation of the Uzumaki Clan since one of my companions is also a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan..."
Logical and convincing.
At least on the surface, what Uchiha Sasuke said made a lot of sense, even Naruto Uzumaki was instantly persuaded at that moment.
"Ah yes, yes..."
Naruto Uzumaki jumped out to support Uchiha Sasuke.
Though Naruto couldn't quite understand why Uchiha Sasuke killed so quickly, Naruto always longed for more family, and at least Karin, like him, is an Uzumaki descendant, giving them a natural kinship.
"Grandpa Hokage!"
"That guy actually tried to hit Karin!"
Naruto Uzumaki stood out, resolutely standing in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, shouting fearlessly, "Karin is of my clan! I will protect her too!"
"..."
The foreheads of the Konoha high council simultaneously twitched.
As members of Konoha's high council, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the two Hokage Advisors need to consider much more; the long-extinct Uzumaki Clan has become just a symbol, and has already been forgotten by the world, unable to provide any benefits to Konoha...
Konoha ninja recite the past alliances as nothing more than a history lesson for the village's ninja, why are these little guys taking it so seriously?
It's not...
You two are just little punks...
And you actually want to stand up for the long-vanquished Uzumaki descendants?
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep puff of his pipe; this matter was really more troublesome than usual, because Uchiha Sasuke and Naruto Uzumaki assumed a stance of righteous indignation...
As the Hokage of the village, in front of a large audience, even if everyone knows this matter harms Konoha's interests, he simply cannot outright handle Uchiha Sasuke because Uchiha Sasuke holds the moral high ground in this matter...
"Hmph..."
"The Uzumaki Clan perished long ago..."
The Jonin leading The Hidden Rain Village stood aside, grumbling in dissatisfaction: "Vortex Village has long been destroyed, people around the Ninja World have killed members of the Uzumaki Clan, I even personally killed a red-haired guy, do you still want to seek justice for all of them?"
