Chapter 506: War Begins

The old man with a tired and aged look on his face walked over slowly.

His face was filled with helplessness, grief, and solemnity. It was the third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen should be around 60 years old this year. He already had obvious signs of aging, but he was full of energy and spirit.

Especially because he had been the Hokage for many years, he was full of a strong sense of majesty.

This was the power and majesty given to him by the person in power.

"The Hokage is here!"

"That's good!"

"The Uchiha clan won't mess around again!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and their faces eased a little.

Obviously, the prestige of the third Hokage in Konoha has reached an unprecedented level. Especially last night, the death of the fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, made this old Hokage, who had already retired, enter the eyes of everyone again.

"Fugaku!"

"Xia Le!"

"Don't be impulsive!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen came to the scene, his eyes fell on the two people, and said in a deep voice.

Fugaku slowly stood up and stared at the other person.

"The Uchiha clan needs an explanation!"

His voice was low and filled with endless anger.

Obviously, it was on the verge of an explosion.

From all directions, more and more Konoha ninjas gathered and stared at this place.

In the crowd, Kakashi and Kai had already seen Xia Le and others.

"Teacher!"

Kakashi was stunned and whispered.

His face was solemn and his heart was even more confused.

What happened last night? What is the truth? Why did the Uchiha clan suddenly suffer a genocide? Even the teacher of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, has passed away.

What is the connection behind all these things?

At this moment, the whole audience was silent, and everyone was staring at the scene.

Uchiha has fallen to this point, and the people present also need the truth.

"I am also very sad that the Uchiha clan suffered such a disaster."

"But all this was due to an accident. We are also looking for the truth of the matter, and we have found a clue."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and spoke in a deep voice.

Fugaku listened coldly.

Xia Le narrowed his eyes and stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Last night, when Kushina was giving birth and their child was just born, a mysterious man appeared."

"He used Kushina's child as a threat to draw out the Nine-Tails in Kushina's body and control it!"

"In this way, he created the Nine-Tails Rebellion that caused serious damage to Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

This paragraph made the ninjas of Konoha nod in unison. Because many of their friends and relatives were injured or killed because of this turmoil last night.

"At the same time, the Uchiha clan was also attacked by a mysterious man, which caused this tragedy!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to speak, and he paused when he said this.

"The identity of this mysterious enemy is still unknown, but we have a clue."

"That's it!"

He sighed again.

"Some of them have the Sharingan, and it is the supreme eye of the Uchiha clan, the Mangekyō Sharingan!"

"It is precisely because of this that the Nine-Tails was controlled by it!"

At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not speak again.

But the crowd fell into silence, and then there was a commotion, and countless people exclaimed.

"Is it the Nine-Tails controlled by the Uchiha clan?"

"Oh my God, it's them!"

"No, it shouldn't be, otherwise how could the Uchiha clan also be destroyed."

"During the battle against the Nine-Tails last night, many people saw the pair of Sharingan. Who else but them!"

"Damn, it's them?"

"······"

For a while, countless voices came out, shaking the air.

A trace of haze flashed in Fugaku's eyes, and he stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

As Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke, all the Uchiha clan members could feel that the attitudes of the people around them had changed, and an inexplicable hatred invaded and enveloped them.

"How is this possible?"

"The only ones in the Uchiha clan who can possess the Mangekyō are Clan Leader Fugaku and Elder Xia Le!"

"Others do not have the ability to control the Nine-Tails, and last night, the clan leader and the elders were at the northwest border!"

Shisui was also shocked at this moment, and his face became complicated.

When he saw the hostile eyes of the ninjas around him, his heart tightened and he completely sank.

Obviously, some people have already regarded the Uchiha clan as an enemy.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded.

Everyone looked at the man in the field, and then they were shocked.

It was Xia Le!

"The Black Flash of Konoha, the strongest Uchiha!"

"If he controls the Nine-Tails, that's his possibility, and it should be the greatest!"

"But why? Xia Le has a very good reputation in Konoha!"

"Lord Xia Le is a very gentle person! He can't do such a thing!"

"More importantly, this matter has no benefit for Uchiha!"

People whispered.

"Tell the truth, Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

"You don't have much chance!"

Xia Le said lightly.

Facing the words said by the other party, he didn't believe a word.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed slightly, but his words did not change at all.

He knew that a mysterious person would have to take the blame for this matter. Once the truth about Danzo's involvement in this matter was known, it would cause disaster.

"That's the truth of the matter."

"I guarantee with my personality that there is nothing false!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly.

"So, you are saying that the Uchiha genocide last night was caused by the man with the Mangekyo Sharingan himself!"

Xia Le sneered.

"According to the clues I have, it is indeed the case!"

"But we are still checking this person's identity!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

"hehe!"

"I'll say it again, and only once!"

Xia Le's eyes turned red, and three magatama appeared, then turned into a kaleidoscope.

"Tell me the truth about last night!"

"Who else was involved in the Uchiha genocide!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils shrank, and his heart was shaking violently at this moment.

He could clearly tell that there was no emotion in the other person's words and he was extremely serious.

For a moment, the Third Hokage remained silent.

He even felt hesitant in his heart, because he knew very well that the next words he spoke would lead to a completely different ending.

Everyone was holding their breath, waiting for the next answer, and at the same time, their hearts were lifted.

Because, Xia Le's words are undoubtedly the clarion call to declare war.

Once the outcome is different, it will immediately turn into a war.

And Konoha, which experienced the turmoil last night, is facing another war, which will mean extremely serious consequences.

"call!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, then raised his head, his eyes candid.

"Everything I say is the truth!"

"If you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do, Xia Le!"

Hearing this, the whole place was silent.

Xia Le had no expression on his face, and after a long time, he sneered.

"I still underestimated your shamelessness, Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

"But that's fine!"

He put his right hand on his waist and pulled out the short sword with a clang, pointing the blade straight ahead.

"In that case, let's fight!"

His words were extremely cold, as if they could freeze the hearts of everyone present.

"Now that Uchiha has been destroyed."

"Then Konoha doesn't need to exist anymore!"

The indifferent words changed the color of everyone in the room.

This is a declaration of war, and it contains a meaning that scares everyone.

The only remaining Uchiha will go to war with those who were once friends. There is no doubt that this is a complete tragedy, and it makes many people feel extremely complicated at this moment.

Silence, everyone was silent at this moment.

A long while.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed: "Xia Le, Uchiha is also a part of Konoha. I will never give up looking for the truth of the matter."

"We are all one family in this village, there is no need to go to this level!"

There was a pause.

"I'm old. Minato said last night that only you and Fugaku are qualified to be the next generation Hokage of Konoha."

These words changed the color of countless people.

The Uchiha clan takes over the position of Hokage? This has never happened since the founding of Konoha. But it is precisely because of this that people began to admire the broad mind of the three fire shadows.

Saying such words in front of all ninjas is undoubtedly irreversible.

Even Fugaku was shocked at this moment and began to have doubts in his heart.

Could it be that the truth about the Uchiha clan is really as told by the other party.

There was hesitation in his eyes, and he couldn't help but look at Xia Le.

At this moment, the only one who can trust and obey is the other party.

"The position of Hokage?"

Xia Le chuckled lightly, a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes, and he looked at the old man in front of him.

"Do you really think I care about this position?"

"How can a mere Hokage be compared to the lives of the Uchiha clan!"

He turned the long knife in his hand and pulled out the flower.

"I already gave you a chance!"

"It's a pity that you didn't cherish it!"

After he finished speaking, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He leaned forward slightly, and almost instantly, he rushed forward.

"Uh-huh!"

In the original place, his figure has disappeared.

Kakashi stood in the distance, watching this scene, his pupils shrank: "Shave!"

He recognized that this was the shave in the Six Styles, and it was the power mastered by the teacher, who was obviously much more powerful than him.

Next to Sarutobi Hiruzen, six Anbu immediately appeared and stood in front of him, blocking his entire body.

"Left side!"

One of them shouted.

The ANBU on the left immediately took action, drawing his sword and waving it towards the void ahead.

"when!"

Almost instantly, a figure appeared, and Xia Le slashed with a knife.

The powerful force made the ANBU immediately grit his teeth, feeling like a mountain was pressing down on him, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head and looked at Xia Le, who was very close at hand. Those cold eyes shot out endless ice, which immediately made his body tremble.

"Four Purple Flame Formation, hurry!"

He shouted.

In an instant, the ninjas hiding around them immediately formed four positions and quickly formed seals to separate the Uchiha clan's area of ​​the ground from other places.

A shining barrier emerged, firmly blocking everyone present.

"I am also saddened by the tragedy of the Uchiha."

"However, if you really want to force a war, as the Hokage, I can't turn a blind eye!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed softly.

Xia Le sneered and suddenly turned around.

The short sword in his hand flashed with light, and in an instant the ANBU in front of him flew away.

Immediately afterwards, he borrowed force from his feet in the air and slashed down again.

"boom!"

But this blow was blocked again.

His eyes turned cold, and his blood-colored eyes glowed with light.

Suddenly, the ANBU blocking his eyes had a dull expression and froze on the spot.

"Don't look him in the eyes!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately shouted.

At this moment, his figure quickly distanced himself and retreated towards the rear. The other ANBU following him also retreated in the same way.

On the other side, Fugaku and others also pounced towards Sarutobi Hiruzen at the same time.

They realized that the truth of the matter might not be what the other party said. At this moment, only by catching the other person can we get the real truth.

However, the figure just moved.

The Konoha ninjas in all directions all reacted and moved.

"Too many people!"

Xiaonan said with a solemn expression.

"The teacher is here!"

Nagato is just four words.

He stretched out his hands, a cold look appeared in Samsara's eyes, and just uttered four words.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

In an instant, a circle of strong repulsive force centered on his body spread in all directions.

The ninjas who rushed forward immediately changed their colors, vomited blood, flew out, and rolled on the ground.

"This is?!"

The Konoha ninjas were shocked.

"Those eyes are samsara eyes!"

"Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, once said that!"

Someone shouted.

In an instant, everyone in Konoha changed their colors and looked at Nagato solemnly.

Uchiha Fugaku roared and used Susanoo again. The powerful air flow spread out, shaking the surrounding void.

"Nagato!"

"Today, we must not hold back!"

Fugaku shouted.

Nagato nodded: "I understand!"

There was coldness in his eyes.

If he remembered correctly, the people who broke into the home and killed his parents were Konoha's ninjas.

His right hand suddenly stretched out, its fingers spread wide.

"All things are attracted by heaven!"

The surging gravitational force instantly enveloped the Konoha ninja directly in front of him. The man's body just shook and showed a look of panic, because his body was out of control at all.

"Crack!"

His neck was held by Nagato, and the kunai in his other hand stabbed his abdomen mercilessly.

"puff!"

Blood flowed out, and the Konoha ninja screamed in pain.

Nagato turned his eyes and threw away his right hand. The Konoha ninja's body hit another figure rushing up, and the two of them flew out together.

"Kakashi, what should we do?"

"Do you really want to take action?"

Kai said nervously.

Kakashi's face was complicated, and he was extremely confused at this moment.

"I don't know, Kai!"

"I really do not know!"

Kakashi muttered.

He just wants to escape from everything in front of him now.

the other side.

Xia Le brandished his sword and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen calmly.

"For Danzo, he will die today!"

"does it worth?"

"I just want the truth!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed slightly, and then he gritted his teeth.

"What I say is the truth!"

Xia Le chuckled.

"I seem to understand why Danzo would rather bear everything and do those dirty things!"

The next second, his figure moved.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

An ANBU rushed forward fearlessly, and Xia Le threw the short knife in his hand.

"Uh-huh!"

The short sword turned into a stream of light and penetrated his body in an instant.

Blood was spilled, and his body was directly stuck on the wall of the street nearby.

This scene made everyone change their color.
