Chapter 3: Rebellion as a Barrier

As Uchiha Fugaku expected, the news spread when Uchiha just started to mobilize.

Not to mention that the high-rise buildings around the Uchiha station were all filled with Anbu people.

The Third Hokage silently put down his pipe: "What's the situation now?"

The Anbu lowered his head and reported: "All combat personnel of the Uchiha clan are gathering. Uchiha Xiamu led thirteen jonin and disappeared. Uchiha Shisui is missing, Uchiha Itachi is missing."

The Third Hokage was silent, he really didn't want to go this far. It seems that Shisui failed, or...

With a sigh, the Third Hokage made a decision, and his expression became firm.

He tore off his Hokage robe, and inside was the combat uniform that had been put on.

"Pass the order, the entire Konoha is in a state of emergency, notify all ninja clan leaders, gather all jonin, elite jonin. Surround the Uchiha clan for me."

...

Tap tap tap...

The dense footsteps came from the roof, and one ninja after another passed over the residential houses.

Normally this is a very impolite thing to do, but just now the Hokage issued an order, and the entire Konoha entered a state of emergency.

So the roofs of Konoha Village were full of flying ninjas, and civilians hid at home.

Another powerful family in Konoha, the strongest fighters of the Hyuga family, Hiashi and Hizashi, led the elites of the clan to the Uchiha clan.

Hizashi couldn't help asking Hiashi: "Brother, did the Uchiha clan really rebel?"

Hiashi frowned: "Call me clan leader outside."

Hizashi was silent for a while: "Yes, clan leader."

Hiashi paused, and his tone softened a little: "The third generation asked us to gather and surround the Uchiha, and it may be a fierce battle tonight."

Hiashi was full of worries. As long as it was an internal strife, people would die.

Besides, it was the Uchiha clan, the largest clan in the ninja world. All Uchiha were all-rounders, and most of them were crazy.

Hiashi looked back and saw more than 20 senior ninjas following him.

I don't know how many can go back after tonight. This is the foundation of the family.

"Hiashi, if a fight breaks out, hold back your clansmen and don't lead the charge."

"What about the Sandaime?"

Hiashi waved his hand: "If the Uchiha is destroyed, it may be our turn next."

Hiashi was startled, looked around, and nodded silently.

...

"Danzo, the Third Hokage announced that Konoha has entered a state of emergency and issued a call for all jonin and above to gather for battle. Do we join the battle?"

"Oh?" Danzo, who had just replaced his eyes and finished the examination, woke up.

"What happened?"

"All Uchiha combatants are gathering."

Danzo stood up and touched his right eye that had just been replaced.

It seems that the Uchiha can be completely destroyed tonight. How many Uchiha eyes can be harvested tonight?

Hiruzen, I told you a long time ago that the Uchiha cannot be trusted. Fortunately, I took the initiative and destroyed Uchiha Shisui.

"Take our people and rush to the Uchiha clan's territory immediately."

"Yes!"

...

The gate of the Uchiha clan was already brightly lit, and countless Konoha elites had surrounded the Uchiha clan.

Standing in front were the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utatane Koharu, and Mito Kado En.

Behind them were the clan leaders and elites of various wealthy ninja clans.

People from the Hyuga, Akimichi, Nara, Yamanaka, and other major clans arrived one after another.

All the Anbu and elite jonin of Konoha were basically gathered here, surrounding the Uchiha clan in three layers.

Everyone had a solemn expression on their faces.

The clan leaders had their own thoughts.

Creak... The huge wooden door of the Uchiha clan opened.

Hundreds of Uchiha clan members, fully armed, walked out of the door slowly under the leadership of Fugaku.

In an instant, everyone's eyes moved to Fugaku's face, with different expressions, but everyone was surprised.

Fugaku, who usually tries to smooth things over, what happened today?

The clan members behind Fugaku saw that the gate was surrounded by so many Konoha elites, and they all made a commotion.

But seeing that their clan leader did not speak, the voice gradually dissipated.

The atmosphere seemed to be stagnant for a moment.

At this time, a messenger bird flew in the sky. Fugaku took the message from it and saw that his eyes burst into infinite murderous intent, and then he restrained it.

Fugaku remained calm under the gaze of the third generation, and his eyes were still searching left and right.

Seeing that Danzo had not arrived, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Hokage, I don't know why you surrounded our Uchiha clan land?"

The third generation Hokage frowned: "Fugaku! You have gathered so many Uchiha clan members, and you are still asking us? What do you want to do!?"

Uchiha Fugaku's expression was not the same as before, and he had no respect for the third generation Hokage at all.

"What do I want to do? Uchiha Shisui disappeared after he went out today. We are going out to look for Shisui now. What's the problem?"

The Third Hokage frowned. He thought of countless excuses for Fugaku, but he didn't expect Fugaku to say this.

And as far as he knew, Shisui was indeed missing. The Third Hokage didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, Mitomon En beside the Third Hokage spoke: "Nonsense! Uchiha Shisui is missing, so you want to gather all the people in the clan? Do you think we are fools?"

Fugaku didn't speak.

At this time, the crowd of Konoha dispersed, and it was Shimura Danzo who came.

His forehead, right eye, right shoulder and right hand were all wrapped in bandages as always.

"Uchiha Fugaku, I think you Uchiha want to rebel tonight!"

Fugaku saw Danzo appear, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

He said in a deep voice: "Shimura Danzo, you dare to appear in front of me?"

"Itachi reported to me that Uchiha Shisui disappeared after being summoned by you this afternoon. Do you dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with you?"

Itachi, who was hiding in the crowd, frowned. He had not reported it to his father.

Danzo had a cold face. Itachi was indeed unreliable.

Then he angrily scolded: "Nonsense! I didn't see Shisui this afternoon at all. You are slandering me."

Fugaku smiled coldly: "Really?"

Fugaku's chakra surged all over his body, and his eyes became colder and colder. The surrounding ninjas were all nervous.

While the crowd was still in a commotion, a road opened up behind, and Uchiha Xiamu walked in with a group of Uchiha people.

【Ding! Mission updated, ending of the coup]

[Mission requirements: Protect all Uchiha clan members from death in the coup.]

[Mission reward: Eye Technique Amplifier X1 Uchiha Deputy Clan Leader...]

It's too late to look at the reward. Since the mission requirement is to protect all clan members, there can be no violence tonight.

Xia Mu was in the front alone, with sharp eyes.

The Uchiha behind him said nothing, and occasionally looked up at Xia Mu with fanaticism and admiration.

Two of them were carrying a stretcher, and the person lying on it was Uchiha Shisui.

The other people were dragging the bodies of several root members in their hands.

Several bodies were scarred and damaged.

The third generation Hokage had a gloomy face: "Fugaku, what do you mean?"

Uchiha Xia Mu brought the people back to the clan, turned his head to look at the third generation Hokage, and directly blocked the clan leader Fugaku behind him.

Xia Mu sneered: "Third generation, you are still playing dumb at this time. Danzo summoned Shisui this afternoon and tried to steal his Sharingan!"

"We dispatched the whole clan to look for Shisui because he is missing. What's the problem!?"

Then the spirit said something in Shisui's ear, and Shisui struggled to get up.

The countless injuries on his body can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

The most serious is his eyes, which are two empty holes. His Sharingan was dug out!

There was a commotion among the surrounding ninjas.

"Danzo tried to steal Shisui's Sharingan?"

"Shut up, Danzo is the assistant of the Hokage, don't talk nonsense."

Shisui said weakly: "I received a message from Danzo this evening, asking me to meet him."

"I didn't expect that he coveted the Sharingan of our Uchiha clan and took my Sharingan away when I was not prepared."

The third generation Hokage was very familiar with Shisui. He reported to him this afternoon that he wanted to use Kotoamatsukami to stop the Uchiha coup.

I didn't expect that our farewell would turn out like this.

When Shisui stood up, Danzo's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word. I don't know what he was thinking.

Everyone present was in an uproar, looking at Danzo with suspicion.

In the ninja world, taking away someone's bloodline limit is a life-and-death feud, not to mention people from the same village.

Shisui is known as the instant body Shisui. He made countless contributions to Konoha in the Third Ninja World War and is a genius of Uchiha.

Uchiha Shisui has always had a good reputation, and what he said is very credible.
