Chapter 256: The top leaders betrayed the village! Minato was completely heartbroken!
root.
With the turmoil in Konoha, a large number of elite Root troops were dispatched, making the already dark base even more deserted.
"Sir, only one person returned from the two teams, and the target is Uchiha Fugaku's strength... and he even opened the Mangekyō..."
Inside the secret room, upon hearing that his elite Root team had suffered such heavy losses, Danzo Shimura's face was filled with anger and pain. However, when he saw a Mangekyō Sharingan, he immediately revealed a greedy look.
"Mangekyo! The Uchiha are too dangerous. Three pairs of Mangekyō were born in just over a decade. Fortunately, the Root was in time this time..."
This little loss is nothing compared to a pair of kaleidoscopes!
At this time, Danzo no longer had any anger, but was instead filled with excitement and greed.
"Why didn't you bring back the other one?"
"Master Danzo, Uchiha Fugaku desperately summoned the summoning beast crow to peck out his eyes. If it weren't for Kazuo's desperate efforts... he would have snatched one eye. However, the other eye has been contaminated with the collected nano-scale virus..."
When he heard that another Mangekyo had been destroyed, Danzo Shimura showed a trace of regret.
But luckily it was destroyed!
"kaleidoscope!"
In the secret room, Danzo Shimura looked at the hideous eyeball in the glass test tube. The exposed eye was full of greed. With an excited smile, his bandaged palm slowly pushed open the other eye covered by the bandage.
The ugly scar slowly opened, revealing a three-magatama Sharingan. At this time, Shimura Danzo said hoarsely:
"It's time to get a more powerful eye. This way, with the same eye, the Uchiha clan's Mangekyō won't be a big deal!"
Under the hoarse and greedy laughter, Shimura Danzo couldn't help but show his excitement.
It was as if the Six Paths Sage was on his side. This time, the Nine-Tails was in chaos, and directly dragged Uchiha and Namikaze Minato into the water.
He got the kaleidoscope again!
Who else but me can be in the entire Konoha?
"Notify the medical ninja immediately and prepare to replace the eye!"
"Yes!"
Danzo Shimura can't wait to change into a more powerful Mangekyo, after all, the plan is about to be implemented.
However, when the interior was empty, a masked figure took the opportunity to sneak into the root and came to the root's secret base with ease.
"I followed the orders of the Third Generation and sneaked in several times before. It turns out that the weakness of the barrier and the terrain have not changed."
Minato Namikaze carefully hid behind a pillar and observed his surroundings calmly.
As the Third Hokage, how could he really allow the Root to grow and become a threat? Since he could allow the Root to grow to this extent, then naturally everything was under his nose.
If he really didn't know anything about the Root, his head as Hokage would have been moved long ago.
The Root is originally a subordinate of the Anbu, and many of its personnel are from the Anbu. Not only are there spies planted by the Third Generation, but there are also spies. At the same time, the Third Generation will arrange people to infiltrate and investigate from time to time.
With the triple protection of being in the open, in the dark, and infiltrating, if you talk about finding out the color of Shimura Danzo's underwear, perhaps no one knows, but every move of the Root will definitely not escape the eyes of the Third Generation.
"This is!?"
Suddenly, a light flickered in a secret room, and then two Root members solemnly put a sealing talisman on the door before leaving.
However, Minato Namikaze, who was hiding in the dark, saw it all clearly and couldn't help but frown in shock.
"A sealing talisman of this level, and there's a hint of blood in the air. Did you just come back from a mission?"
As the roots left, Minato Namikaze's figure instantly appeared outside the secret room. He made hand seals with ease and removed the sealing talisman without disturbing anyone, as if he had returned to his own home.
"This is all the information about the three wars, and also about the Uchiha!"
Entering the secret room and looking at the important scrolls of information, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but look solemn, especially the scrolls of Uchiha intelligence.
This is all information about the Uchiha clan's Jonin. It is obvious that the Root has been preparing recently.
"The battle has just ended, and the village can't wait to start dealing with its own people! Is there really a need for such an organization to exist?"
Looking at the densely packed intelligence scroll, Minato Namikaze fell silent. He could understand the existence of the Root, after all, there were too many shady things to deal with.
But targeting fellow villagers for no reason is a bit too much!
"This is the research of the Aburame clan's nano-poison insects... and the Sharingan... the Senju..."
Based on the order of the scrolls, Minato Namikaze knew clearly that this was the top priority for the Root recently, otherwise this information would not appear here.
"These actions will bring unrest to the village..."
In the dark secret room, when Minato Namikaze was secretly exploring, he suddenly smelled a hidden smell of blood, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Taking a slow step forward, past the bookcase containing the scrolls, what came into view were five bodies lying on cold metal beds.
The five bodies were all mutilated to varying degrees, and their purple-black skin was clearly the result of poisoning.
"These are the injuries caused by the nano-poison insects. The seals on these corpses are to protect the corpses and to torture them for more information..."
Just as Minato Namikaze secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the light slowly shone on the cheek of the corpse, and his pupils shrank instantly.
"Uchiha Fugaku!"
Namikaze Minato's expression changed drastically. He looked at the scene in disbelief and shock. The lights even trembled, and the next moment they moved slowly, and all that came into view were familiar faces.
Especially the black holes on the faces of the five corpses, which are even more creepy and terrifying!
Minato Namikaze, who had killed countless enemies, showed fear on his face for the first time. The hairs on his back stood up and a layer of fine cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"What on earth does the Root want to do? Sandaime-sama!"
In the dark environment, the pale light reflected on the cheeks, revealing Minato Namikaze's blue eyes filled with endless shock and anger.
What shocked him was how dare the root and the third generation master!
Knowing the nature of the Root clearly, he naturally knew one thing, that is, without the consent of the Third Generation, the Root would not dare to do such a big thing.
What makes me angry is that this is not for the stability of the village at all, but will bring disaster to the village!
The Third Hokage and the Root were clearly now acting in a way that would bring greater conflict and turmoil to the village, and that made him feel betrayed!
In the dim base at the root, a figure secretly shuttled through the secret rooms, until finally he took a silent and deep look at this sin-filled base and disappeared into the air.
The departure of Flying Thunder God will not leave any trace!
Even the Root Base has his Flying Thunder God mark, so there will be no trace when he comes in.
……
The next day, Konoha was filled with the sad atmosphere of the disaster that had passed.
At the same time, a rumor spread in Konoha that the Sharingan in the Nine-Tails' eyes was suspected to be controlled by the Sharingan, which caused the disaster.
The Uchiha clan, who were maintaining law and order in the village the next day, felt the most deeply about this inadvertent news.
Suspicion! Fear! Isolation!
Under all these looks, the Uchiha clan felt angry and aggrieved!
The gloomy sky, accompanied by the continuous drizzle, seemed to reflect Konoha's mood.
Countless ninjas in black slowly walked towards the memorial to mourn the heroes who died in the war and the heroes who died protecting the village last night.
Countless Konoha ninjas showed sad eyes. After the Third War, too many tombstones were added to the Memorial Cemetery.
"You used your lives to protect the entire village and the future of Konoha..."
The hoarse and heavy voice of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen echoed in the sky, and countless ninjas lowered their heads and listened silently to the mourning of the deceased.
"The war has brought heavy casualties to our Konoha, but we have to face the future... At the Jonin meeting tomorrow, I will nominate a new Hokage and step down at the same time..."
In front of the memorial, the Third Hokage led the Konoha high-ranking officials, as well as the major families and jonin of Konoha, to mourn in grief. In the end, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen solemnly announced the news that he would nominate himself to step down as Hokage.
As the sad and weeping figures left the memorial one after another, the entire Konoha fell into the gloomy and sad reconstruction work.
In the gloomy drizzle, in front of the tombstone, a five-year-old child with a swaddled child slung across his shoulder lowered his head sadly, while the baby in his arms was still sleeping, seemingly unaware that his life had undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Itachi, Sasuke still needs you, and the village needs the Uchiha. You can't dwell on sadness right now."
Uchiha Itachi, who had been on the battlefield, took a deep breath after hearing this familiar voice, suppressed his sadness in his heart, slowly raised his head and looked at the teacher standing in front of him.
"Teacher Ye, if the rumors in the village are not handled well, what should Sasuke do?"
Uchiha Itachi is indeed a genius. He has thought of a lot at such a young age.
That day, when he was hiding in the shelter with Sasuke in his arms, Uchiha Yai appeared with Flying Thunder God and took Sasuke away. At the same time, under the powerful illusion, the people around him who were in grief did not notice.
From the environment and education he received since childhood, as well as Sasuke's crying all night after he came back and the lines on his belly, and the fact that Uchiha Ye did not avoid him, he knew how important Sasuke was to the village now.
"Itachi, Sasuke becoming a Jinchūriki is the best protection for him, and also for the Uchiha and the village."
At this time, Uchiha Ye looked at Itachi deeply, then shook his head and said:
"You don't have to think too much. Although Sasuke's identity is special, we are Uchiha! I will arrange for someone to take care of Sasuke's daily life. At the same time, Shisui, Kakashi and a Thousand Hands Ninja will become Sasuke's guardians at the same time as you."
When Itachi Uchiha heard that Sasuke would be entrusted to his care, he was only a five-year-old child at that time, and he immediately showed a look of gratitude.
"Teacher Ye, thank you so much!"
"Itachi, go back. Before Sasuke grows up, I still need you to protect him. In the meantime, I will accept Sasuke as my disciple."
Gently rubbing Uchiha Itachi's head, Uchiha Ye showed a gratified smile. This child will become the guardian of Uchiha in the future.
"I understand, Teacher Ye!"
However, the moment Uchiha Itachi raised his head, a hint of surprise flashed in Uchiha Ye's eyes, and then he couldn't help but sighed:
"Itachi, you are a genius, but you should not reveal these eyes to others for now. You can ask Shisui more about the use of Sharingan."
The moment Uchiha Itachi raised his head, a magatama Sharingan appeared in his pupils.
This made Uchiha Ye couldn't help but sigh, he is truly a genius, he has opened the Sharingan at this age.
Uchiha family.
When seeing Itachi taking young Sasuke back, Uchiha Ye couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
"At night, the third generation went to visit the Hyuga clan. It seems that the main family has made a choice..."
A black umbrella was held out to them, and Mikoto stood aside with a solemn look on her face, while Uchiha Ye nodded slightly with a calm expression after hearing it.
"What about the other ninjas?"
"There are some unusual movements among other ninjas, but given the rumors spread by the Kyuubi, I'm afraid these ninjas won't support us if we don't have enough evidence."
Uchiha Mikoto's solemn voice almost meant that under the Nine-Tails' great suspicion, the ninjas who once supported them might not turn against them, but would remain neutral.
After all, Nine-Tailed Fox is responsible for a big incident.
Anyone with a brain would suspect that the Uchiha had no chance and no reason to do so.
However, under the various rumors, just like White Fang in the past, public opinion is a double-edged sword, extremely sharp.
"Don't worry about them. Those who are innocent will be innocent."
Uchiha Ye nodded calmly, and walked with Uchiha Mikoto in the rain, heading towards the police department.
"Originally there was no evidence, but some people put the evidence on themselves. Our Uchiha Sharingan is not so easy to take."
"Notify everyone that the police department will gather tomorrow to attend the Jonin meeting!"
"Night!" At this time, Uchiha Mikoto showed a solemn expression and nodded solemnly.
"We will win!"
As if he saw a trace of worry in Uchiha Mikoto's face, Uchiha Ye chuckled and showed a mocking smile:
"What do we have to lose?"
Before he could make a move, the other party had already destroyed their own wall. Now he was actually looking forward to tomorrow's Jonin meeting.
"Sister Tsunade, Kushina, and Senju should be back tomorrow, and our Third Hokage can't wait any longer."
Through the gloomy sky, Uchiha Ye looked back at the Hokage Building in the distance and couldn't help but smile.
"It is time for the dark clouds over Konoha to disperse, and a new sky will take their place."
Hokage Building.
"Huruzen, you must use drastic measures this time. You must not give the Uchiha any chance to turn the tables!"
"Yes, the Uchiha is suspected of controlling the Nine-Tails, which is too dangerous!"
In the Hokage's office, the two Hokage advisors, Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu, showed cold smiles, which felt like they were opening champagne at halftime.
Even Danzo Shimura standing by showed a calm confidence. He couldn't help but touch his still swollen and painful eyes, and then took out a scroll from his arms.
"Huruzen, leave the Uchiha clan to me. We can take this opportunity to drive the Uchiha to the outskirts of the village and keep an eye on them."
After Shimura Danzo told the plan against Uchiha, Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu showed expressions of approval.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, looked through the window at the portrait on the Hokage Rock with a dazed look.
After tomorrow, will his era come to an end?
Sitting in the office, he has become accustomed to looking at the Hokage Rock every day, and he is really unwilling to do so!
"Hiruzen?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen came back to his senses and turned around. Looking at his three old friends, he couldn't help but reveal a solemn expression and nodded: "Be prepared for the worst at tomorrow's Jonin meeting!"
"Don't worry Hiruzen, most of the village's elite troops have already returned."
"Yes, this time the Uchiha has lost the support of the people!"
Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu looked confident of victory, while Shimura Danzo sneered and nodded:
"Huruzen, something happened to Uchiha Fugaku. Some people suspect that this is the Uchiha clearing out the opposition within the clan."
It has to be said that Danzo Shimura is the best at adding fuel to the fire, and even at this time he did not forget to add fuel to the fire.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen on the side took a deep breath, and then nodded, agreeing to Danzo's plan.
After years of tacit cooperation, the two know each other very well.
Uchiha Fugaku seemed to be dealt with just right, and Danzo was secretly relieved. It seemed that Hiruzen didn't know that this Sharingan was a Mangekyō.
Fortunately, he had cleared out the last one last night.
The most Sarutobi Hiruzen knew was that he had obtained a few pairs of three-magatama Sharingan. When Danzo thought of this, he had a feeling that Sarutobi Hiruzen was on the third level and he was on the fifth level.
With the feeling that he was superior to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo couldn't help but look towards the Hokage Rock outside the window.
A fiery look appeared in the depths of one of Danzo's eyes. This time! He was determined to win!
"Hiruzen! I win this time!"
