Unfortunately, the Great Elder and Fugaku Uchiha were unable to reach the scene, but they met Uchiha Masami and his group returning to the clan's entrance.
At this moment, they are like a group of roosters that have failed in a fight, and they are all frustrated. They support the two who were injured by Ryota and walk with their heads down
Fortunately for them, there were medical ninja watching their fight, and the Third Hokage asked them to treat them after he finished scolding them.
After completing the treatment, they returned to the clan directly, but they know that the matter has spread and their matter will not end that easily, so they now walk with their heads down, contrary to their usual arrogant appearance, and they appear frustrated.
"! You bastards!!!"
When they were about to enter the clan gate and head back to their home, they heard a roar filled with anger, the sound made them all tremble at the same time.
Because they all know who owns that voice, and he's also the last person they want to see right now
When they raised their heads to look, they saw a young man rushing toward them with an old man on his back.
"Great... great ....Elder..."
The group of Uchiha shrank their necks, and their voices stuttered.
"You bastards, do you want to make me die of a heart attack?"
After Fugaku Uchiha arrived in front of Uchiha Masami and the other, the great Elder descended from Uchiha Fugaku's back and pointed out his hand tremblingly at Uchiha Masami and his group and scolded them.
"You bastards, how dare you go and cause trouble for others!!"
Bang bang bang~
The great Elder felt that the reprimand was too little for them, so he raised the stick in his hand and hit uchiha Masami and his group on their back.
But Masami Uchiha and the others did not dare to dodge, and they all accepted all of the great elder's blows.
After venting his anger on Uchiha Masami's group and the other, the Great Elder stopped beating them
"You bastards..."
The great Elder leaned on his cane, blew his beard, and stared at them, panting slightly.
Because of his old age, he began to pant when he exerted a little physical effort, and now because of his hitting them, he has become a little tired.
Also at this time, the Great Elder took a closer look at them and realized that two of them had injuries in their chest and the rest of them had no even minor injuries.
"Great Elder... We know it was a mistake..."
"Yes, Great Elder, we were all wrong..."
Both Uchiha Masami and the others suffered several blows to the back. Although they did not suffer any serious injuries, they also felt severe pain.
"You... you're really good at this... you went out to make trouble for others... but instead you were defeated and made a joke out of the face of our Uchiha clan."
When the great elder said this and thought about this matter again, he wanted to raise the stick in his hand and hit them again.
"this..."
After hearing the Great Elder's rebuke, Uchiha Masami and his group's faces turned pale.
They went to find trouble for others and teach him a lesson, but they were defeated instead, humiliated themselves and made the face of their clan a joke in the village.
Thinking of this, the shame on their faces became deeper.
Especially Uchiha Masami at this moment, his heart was filled with helplessness and shame.
He was the one who took them to find trouble for Ryota, so the greatest responsibility for ruining the Uchiha's reputation undoubtedly fell on him...
The Great Elder sighed when he saw their shrunken and frustrated appearance.
The great Elder no longer says anything now, because what happened has already happened and there is no point in saying anything to them now
It is also not expected that a young man who is not more than 17 years old,
He was able to defeat them to the point that they became ashamed of themselves, and changed their usual arrogant nature
And when think that the other is still a member of the Senju clan, a member of the Hokage faction, and a direct descendant of the Third Hokage.
The great elder had a headache just thinking about it
The cracks between Konoha and Uchiha are large enough,
Now action of Uchiha Masami to take his clansmen and go to find trouble for Ryota
This will make the Cracks between Konoha and the Uchiha bigger and bigger
Now the great elder must find a way to fix the matter caused by Masami Uchiha and the others and not let the matter get worse.
Otherwise, if the issue gets bigger and he doesn't find a way to fix it, he can't imagine what will happen next and how Konoha's upper management will respond to this matter.
Because Sarutobi Hiruzen and his group were never a good person in the eyes of the Uchiha clan
After taking a look at the two injured Uchiha, who were being supported by the others, the great elder said with some hatred for iron and steel: "Go and summon a medical ninja for them so he can treat them, and don't go anywhere until I return, Because I have not yet held you accountable for the things you caused. "
Hearing the words of the Great Elder, Uchiha Masami clenched his teeth and raised his head and looked at the Great Elder in front of him
"Great Elder..."
"This incident was only caused by me, and I was also the one who took them with me to create a problem for others..."
"If you want to be punished, punish me alone..."
After Masami Uchiha finished speaking, he lowered his head again
Because this matter, in his opinion, he was responsible for from beginning to end
If he doesn't come forward now at this time, wait for the elders' punishment to come.
He estimated that those few people around him would be punished with him and their punishment would be the same as him who was the culprit in the matter.
At least he doesn't want his clan members to be punished because of him
As soon as Masami Uchiha finished speaking, his clan members looked at him with gratitude in their eyes
The Great Elder also looked at Masami Uchiha with relief that he was willing to take the initiative to admit his mistakes, and willing to bear all the punishments in place of his clan members.
In the heart of the Great Elder, there was more relief about the future of the clan
"Even though you took the initiative to take responsibility, you will be punished because the trouble you caused this time was big!"
"Let's do this..." The Great Elder thought for a while, then continued:
"First, you must resign from the role of deputy police team leader."
"Then you go to the clan's ancestral hall to get forty sticks on your back, and stay at home for a whole year!"
After listening to the Great Elder's words, Masami Uchiha trembled, and his face turned pale.
He had already expected his position of deputy police team leader to be removed.
But going to the Ancestral Hall to receive forty great sticks made him a bit frightened.
Because he had estimated that in this matter, even if he did not die, he would have to shed a layer of skin.
But now that he had decided to take responsibility, Uchiha Masami finally gritted his teeth and nodded.
After that, the great elder looked at Fugaku and the others and said, "You go first, I will go to a place alone after that."
Fugaku and the others were not qualified to ask the great Elder about where he was going, so they dispersed upon hearing his words.
