Chapter 504 Familiar yet Strange
The truth is always in the hands of only a few people.
The degree of information accepted by ordinary people is only part of what those in power are willing to let them see.
What is the truth behind the demise of Uchiha?
In fact, no one cared. While people were shocked, they just felt sorry and lamented about this incident.
There were not many people who died last night. This was undoubtedly Konoha's tragedy. Many people were wearing black clothes the next day, with a touch of white on their sleeves and sad expressions.
The Kyuubi, the Uchiha clan, Namikaze Minato, and various events are connected together, causing many people pain.
But on this day, the sky in Konoha was bluer than ever before. The sun hung in the sky, and the sunlight shone dazzlingly down.
Location at the entrance of Konoha Village.
"Intensify the security level!"
"We didn't find anything about the accident last night. This incident made the Third Hokage furious!"
"With all due respect, Captain, who is behind the Nine-Tails incident and the tragedy of the Uchiha clan? The truth of the matter is not yet certain."
"Shut up, this kind of thing is not something you and I can criticize!"
A conversation came out. The man who was the captain of the team guarding the door of Konoha looked ugly and shouted sternly at the chuunin in front of him.
"There are many people in the Uchiha clan, and their strength is not weak either."
"Last night, we didn't see any other hidden villages. A large number of enemies sneaked in."
"Does this kind of thing still need to be deliberately concealed?"
But the team member said with a sneer.
Hearing this, the captain's expression also froze.
The fact is indeed as the team members said, this kind of thing cannot be concealed at all. Do you need to guess who can destroy the Uchiha clan in Konoha?
The armistice agreement between the five major powers had just been signed. During the time when there was no invasion by enemy countries, Konoha's largest wealthy family experienced a tragedy.
"No matter what, this matter is no longer allowed to be discussed from now on!"
The captain said in a deep voice.
Seeing the nonchalant expressions of the team members, he spoke seriously again.
"This is the Third Hokage's order!"
Upon hearing the words "The Third Hokage", the team members' expressions changed slightly and finally fell into silence.
There is no doubt that the Third Hokage still has considerable prestige in the eyes of everyone. Especially with the death of the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, the third generation who has resigned as Hokage seems to have a tendency to become Hokage again.
Seeing that the team members were no longer talking, the captain breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he knew very well about the disaster of the Uchiha clan, and the truth must be different from the rumors. Because of this incident, the police force suffered complaints from Konoha's top brass and most civilians. It could be said that they unintentionally took the blame and felt very uncomfortable.
That's why he made such a statement just now.
But as a relatively mature person, he knew very well that there was something behind this matter that was not simple, and it was not something they could discuss.
At this moment, a group of people came towards us.
"Hyuuga Clan Leader!"
The captain was startled when he saw the person coming.
"Hokage-sama ordered us to come and change shifts!"
Hinata Hiashi said softly.
The captain's eyes narrowed, but he would not refuse. He nodded and led the team members away.
"All the Hinata family are here!"
"Are you guarding against something?"
The words of the team members behind him came.
"It's not just the Hyuga clan, look ahead!"
The captain looked up and looked ahead.
I saw three figures approaching with serious expressions.
"Pig Deer Butterfly!"
The captain recognized the people as three famous families in Konoha.
The one in the middle is Nara Shikaku, and on both sides are Akimichi Choza and Yamazaka Kaiichi.
The two sides passed by each other without saying a word, but only said hello symbolically, both of whom were obviously thinking deeply.
When they were far away, the person behind the captain continued to speak.
"All the masters from these families are here!"
"Are you trying to prevent the Uchiha clan from counterattacking?"
"Did it happen to the Uchiha clan last night?"
Upon hearing this, the captain's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately turned around and glared at these people.
"Shut up!"
Several people were silent and quickly covered their mouths, realizing that what they said was a taboo.
And the other side.
The Inar, Deer, and Butterfly trio have also arrived at the entrance to Konoha Village.
"Even you are here!"
Nara Shikaku said with a sigh.
Hinata Hiashi nodded: "The truth of what happened last night has not been investigated clearly. This is also to prepare for possible disasters."
"Yeah?"
Nara Shikaku narrowed his eyes, looked at the other party, and suddenly laughed.
"Hyuga Clan Leader doesn't know anything about what happened last night!"
Hinata Hizu was silent, but looking at the other person's eyes, he finally sighed.
"Last night, our people found no traces of foreign invasion."
Hearing this, Nara Shikaku fell silent.
After a while, he let out a long sigh: "That's really weird!"
"Yes!"
Hinata Hinata said, his eyes twinkling.
The Nine-Tails Rebellion, the death of Namikaze Minato, and the disaster of the Uchiha clan, all of these happened too cleverly, as if there was a pair of invisible hands leading and arranging everything behind them.
"So, will the remaining Uchiha rebel?"
Shanzhong Hai said in a condensed voice.
Such a question made Hinata Hizashi silent, and Nara Shikaku also spoke with difficulty after a long while.
"It's hard to tell!"
"That man is not easy to deal with!"
Akimichi Choza buzzed: "Is it the black flash of Konoha?"
Upon hearing this name, several people present fell silent.
"So, the purpose of our gathering here is to stop that man? Shikaku!"
Shanzhong Haiyi said in a deep voice.
Nara Shikaku moved his mouth and showed a helpless smile: "I'm afraid that's it!"
"Will he really come?"
"Even if you have to do something, you are facing the entire Konoha!"
Akimichi Choza was shocked.
But no one answered him.
Everyone's expressions became extremely solemn at this moment.
Uchiha Xia Le!
The black flash of Konoha, the strongest of Uchiha, opens the Uchiha clan's supreme Sharingan, the terrifying existence of Mangekyō.
During the reign of the Third Hokage, he was a person who was feared and feared by all the major families.
It can be said that as long as he is around the Uchiha clan, no one in Konoha will have any thoughts about him.
No one can imagine what kind of behavior this Uchiha disaster that came last night would make the other party do.
But a few people just changed their minds and quickly discovered something.
That is, conflict may be unavoidable.
Hinata Hizu stood there silently, his armor neatly on his body, his white eyes staring quietly ahead.
Does the truth matter?
Maybe it doesn't matter anymore, because everything has become a conclusion.
Where Uchiha will go from last night is something that no one is sure of.
time flies.
Soon, everyone discovered that the security team that was responsible for patrolling and maintaining the stability of the village was being replaced on a large scale.
Most of the people who were replaced were elites from major families, such as the Senju clan, the Sarutobi clan, the Aburame clan, etc.
The people in the Roots and Anbu were also prepared.
Obviously, the keen Third Hokage has realized something and is deliberately making arrangements.
Everything happened silently, but this peaceful replacement gave everyone an invisible pressure.
Because such a drastic mobilization is no less than preparing for a large-scale war.
"Will the Uchiha really come back?"
Yamanaka Haiichi said with a sigh.
In fact, he hoped that the other party would disappear and never come back.
Because although Uchiha's power is very strong, the major families in Konoha united together cannot be underestimated.
As the most powerful party among the five major countries, Konoha has always been a hegemonic existence. Starting from the first generation Senju Hashirama, then to the Senju Tobirama, and then into the hands of the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen.
It can be said that every Hokage cannot be ignored.
Let’s not mention the first and second generations for now.
The Third Hokage is a legend.
He masters thousands of powerful ninjutsu, and is able to skillfully use combinations of chakra ninjutsu with different attributes to maximize the power of ninjutsu.
If Uchiha is really messing around, Konoha is not a vegetarian.
"meeting!"
Nara Shikaku sighed with a headache.
With his smart little head, he can naturally make the most accurate judgment.
The Uchiha clan was never easy to mess with.
From Uchiha Madara when Konoha was first founded, to Uchiha Sharaku in this era, every one of them is famous.
Plus, the message he heard during the war.
If it's really true.
"I'm afraid disaster is coming again!"
Shikaku muttered.
The two friends next to him gave him a confused look.
Time continues to pass.
As the day approaches noon.
Outside Konoha Village, in the dense forest, the breeze is blowing, and the leaves are swaying.
Many secret and open sentries have been posted around the Konoha village.
suddenly.
"coming!"
"A thousand meters ahead, I found a group of people rushing towards here quickly!"
Hinata Hinashi's eyes widened and he shouted suddenly.
In an instant, everyone in the field trembled in their hearts, raised their spirits, and looked forward.
Almost at the same time, ninjas from both sides rushed forward and disappeared into the woods.
"Is it them?"
Nara Shikaku said solemnly.
"Um!"
Hinata Hiashi nodded solemnly.
In his white eyes, the group of people was extremely clear, and the figure at the front was even more familiar.
It was Uchiha Shiraku whom he had met before, and beside him was Uchiha Fugaku, the leader of the Uchiha clan, and behind him were the Uchiha clan members.
Every figure has taken off the green vests and ninja uniforms that represent Konoha, and replaced them with the Uchiha clan's iconic fan uniform.
This is undoubtedly a kind of information transmission.
"They already know!"
Hinata Hinashi sighed.
Then his eyes became serious.
In the woods ahead.
Figures jumped and shuttled quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they were face to face with Xia Le's team.
The confrontation started in an instant.
"Nagato, Shisui!"
Fugaku shouted loudly.
Nagato, Shisui, who was in charge of the left and right wings, immediately took action.
"Uh-huh!"
Their figures disappeared in an instant and appeared at the forefront of the Konoha ninja in front.
"Nagato!!"
The leading ninja recognized the other party, gritted his teeth suddenly, and drew his sword from his waist.
Nagato's eyes were cold, without saying a word, and his figure disappeared in a flash.
"shave!"
Almost instantly, he appeared in front of the other party.
When he moved his right hand, before the Konoha ninja could react, the sword in his hand had been taken away, and then, the sword flashed.
"laugh!"
The sword was shining brightly, and blood splattered on his neck.
"Plop!"
The body fell to the ground, kicking up dust.
As the first round began, both sides' eyes were red.
Shisui dodged, drew out his short sword, closed his eyes, and slashed towards the opponent.
"puff!"
Blood splashed, and a large amount of blood flew out of the ninja in front of him, and then he fell to the ground.
Shisui opened his eyes, his heart beating rapidly.
He moved his mouth, trying to say something, but finally fell silent.
Then, facing the person who rushed towards him with blood-red eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Now that you have decided, there is no need to hesitate any longer.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The confrontation between the two sides ended quickly in just a few moments.
When Nagato and Shisui returned to the team, their bodies were covered in blood.
Xia Le and others continued to move forward, and the thousand-meter distance was covered in the blink of an eye. When they rushed out of the forest, everything in front of them came into view.
Familiar villages, familiar figures.
Everything is extremely familiar to everyone, but also a little strange.
"Xia Le!"
Hinata Hizu raised his head and looked at the person, his heart tightened.
"Chief Fugaku!"
Nara Shikaku said softly.
Xia Le's eyes were calm and his heart was calm.
Fugaku's eyes burst into flames as he looked at the people in front of him.
"Where's Sarutobi Hiruzen!!!"
Hinata Hizu sighed: "The truth is still being investigated, don't be impulsive!"
Nara Shikaku moved his mouth, but didn't say anything.
Because this kind of thing cannot be explained at all, and all we can do is mess around. But will the Uchiha clan accept this kind of nonsense?
The answer is obviously yes.
"Step aside!"
Xia Le took a step forward and spoke calmly.
But the majesty and coldness in his words could be heard by everyone.
"Things have already happened. If the Uchiha clan has any demands, we can discuss them!"
Hinata Hinashi sighed.
"Step aside!"
Xia Le repeated again.
Hinata and Hinata's eyes trembled, but at this moment, he could not retreat and could only stand there quietly.
"Alas, Chief Fugaku!"
"Things have already happened. Impulsiveness will only hurt both sides!"
Nara Shikaku sighed and tried to persuade.
But in the next second, Uchiha Fugaku's black and white eyes suddenly changed, blood appeared, and the three magatama quickly rotated.
Then, the pattern changes and becomes a kaleidoscope.
In an instant, everyone on the Uchiha side moved with murderous intent.
"Dare to attack my Uchiha clan!"
"you!"
Uchiha Fugaku looked ferocious and roared angrily.
"You still don't know enough about my clan!"
The next second, his figure suddenly rushed out.
Hinata Hizu's expression suddenly changed and he quickly stopped him.
But Uchiha Fugaku completely entered crazy mode at this moment.
The closer he got to this familiar village, the more he felt trembling and angry.
"Amaterasu!!"
Almost instantly, Fugaku activated one of Mangekyo's skills.
Full of anger and endless sorrow, he will break into the village he once considered his hometown today!
