Chapter 134: The Real Purpose Is Revealed

The gray soil jounin's eyes widened with anger as he spoke, and the throbbing blood vessels forced his temples to beat rhythmically.

After all, from the perspective of the Iwa ninja, they were indeed innocent victims this time.

While the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth were in a non-war state, Konoha secretly sent an Uchiha tribesman with outstanding talent and proficiency in illusions to quietly reach the hinterland of Iwa Ninja Village.

According to the information the Third Tsuchikage Onoki bought from a mercenary organization, Shunshen Shisui, known as the top master of Uchiha, came just for the tailed beasts.

Nearly ten years ago, a Nine-Tails Rebellion caused Konoha to lose the powerful fourth-generation Hokage and his wife. The title of the leader of the five great ninja villages immediately became unworthy of the name. This led to the kidnapping of Hinata Hina by Kumo ninja three years later. Tian things.

Considering that Uchiha Shisui probably had the same eyes as Uchiha Madara and could easily control the tailed beast to reproduce the night of the Nine-Tails, Onoki made a prompt decision and relied on the intelligence provided by the mercenaries to send Iwa Ninja who was younger than Ten Thousand to attack the former. Chase and intercept.

But I didn't expect that Uchiha Shisui would be so strong at such a young age——

He used the Sharingan's child technique to control the four-tailed Jinchuuriki, causing the death and injury of three or four thousand Iwa-nin. The most unbearable thing is that he escaped in the end!

For Iwa Ninja, how humiliating is this result? !

Even the Iwa Ninja, who had the largest number of ninjas, could not afford such a huge loss.

Although the Iwa ninjas wanted to seek justice, they lost one-sixth of their manpower and a tailed beast, so they naturally did not have the confidence to challenge Itakoha, so they could only break their teeth and swallow them.

But at this time, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki told them that Kumo Ninja, who had a grudge against the Iwa Ninja, planned to get involved. If the two villages unite to attack Konoha's sending people to control the jinchuriki, they will definitely be able to get a piece of fat.

It was doubtful that Kumo Ninja was willing to help, but this kind of taking advantage of the situation was their usual style. Moreover, the Kumo Ninja Village hated the Iwa Ninja Village deeply because of what happened to the Third Raikage; but on the other hand, the Iwa Ninja Village's attitude towards the Kumo Ninja was no different from their attitude towards Konoha. After what happened to Uchiha Shisui, Konoha became the first one on the list of enemies.

Driven by anger and hatred, the top leaders of the Iwa Ninja did not hesitate and immediately agreed to this joint operation: as long as it can make up for some losses, it is better than anything else.

In order to show the uncompromising attitude of Iwa Ninja, all members of this mission had at least one relative who died at the hands of Uchiha Shisui.

Especially the leader, Ashito Jōnin. Two of his three sons were stabbed into the mountain by the green Susanoo; the youngest son is still in school, but because he cannot accept this incident, he has become crazy...

But even so, Onoki still asked Huitu to put the mission as the first priority.

Before leaving, the Third Tsuchikage said: "In order to prevent Konoha from being monolithic, instead of pointing your guns at the Hokage and the senior officials this time, it is better to go directly to the Uchiha clan to ask for people. The senior officials of Konoha are facing two villages. The pressure exerted together will definitely find a scapegoat to divert attention. This was the case with Konoha White Fang back then, and it was also the case with the Hyuga clan. Now in Uchiha, there will be no exception...

"Only by dividing them and increasing their internal differences can we get the greatest benefit."

And this was the reason why Huitu came to Uchiha Fugaku as soon as he came up.

However, in order to cover up the real losses of Iwa Ninja, he still downplayed the losses caused by Uchiha Shisui, so as to prevent the weak Iwa Ninja Village from being remembered by Kumo Ninja and stabbing him in the back.

It's a pity that Huitu, who has not fought against the Uchiha forces in the three great ninja wars, doesn't know these people well enough.

"Uchiha Shisui, who killed hundreds of our Iwa ninjas, must be executed today!"

When he yelled these words with extremely real emotion, Haitu wanted to see panic on Uchiha Fugaku's face.

But he didn't expect that while almost all the other Konoha jounin showed horrified expressions, only the somewhat fat Uchiha leader remained unmoved at all.

The dozen or so security team members who were maintaining order disappeared one after another, and used the teleportation technique to come behind Uchiha Fugaku, and viciously opened a pair of cold, scarlet eyes like a human predator.

The murderous intent of those Iwa ninjas directed at Uchiha Fugaku was multiplied several times and sent back.

"careful!"

Huitu gave an order, and all the members of the mission, including Yun Ren, took out their weapons and lowered their heads, staring at the torso of the security team members instead of their faces.

The scene suddenly fell into deathly silence.

The civilians, including the civilians who were still digesting Huitu's words, stood nervously and did not dare to move.

"With such courage, do you dare to challenge our Uchiha?"

The first person to speak was not Fugaku, who had the same heroic expression on his face, but Uchiha Tekka, who was his deputy.

He took a step forward past Fugaku, and the envoys of Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja also took a step back simultaneously.

This made Uchiha Tiehuo look at them with even more contempt.

"It's like being ripped off by one person for hundreds of dollars. I just keep it to myself and keep it to myself, but why do you come to your door like a child complaining?

"Do you think that we are Kazekage and will hand over Shisui like that female ninja named Hayakura to let you relieve your anger? Or do you think that if we bring this group of mentally retarded fools with strong limbs from the north, we will be like Six years ago..."

"That's it."

Before Uchiha Tiehuo finished speaking, Uchiha Fugaku stopped him.

Although he had always disliked the actions of the Hyuga clan in the past, there was no need to talk about this old matter in front of outsiders.

Uchiha Tiehuo was not annoyed by being interrupted. He smiled maliciously at Huitu and returned to Fugaku's back.

Fugaku spoke.

"I don't know why Shisui did this, or even whether he did it..."

"What do you mean?!" Perhaps because Uchiha Fugaku was the only one who didn't open his Sharingan, the others were not so afraid of him, and immediately asked, "Do you think we are talking nonsense?"

"Lies are commonplace for ninjas, we all know that."

Fugaku said slowly as a matter of course, "Besides, even if this is true, what does it matter?"

As soon as these words came out, the messengers of the two villages really realized what kind of people the Uchiha were.

Uchiha Fugaku's emotionless eyes swept across the faces of these people one by one.

"This is the cruel world of ninjas. Since you are losers, what qualifications do you have to shout? You should have understood this truth since the day you got the forehead protector.

"Also, I'm putting this here today..."

Uchiha Fugaku turned around. It was obvious that this was not said to the envoys of the two countries, but to the jonin and high-level officials of Konoha.

"The Uchiha clan is a clan that prospers together and suffers together. Threatening one Uchiha is threatening all Uchiha. There is no essential difference. I don't know whether Shisui did this or why he did it... But as long as he didn't betray his clan, we will never betray him!"

Hyuga Hiashi, one of the ninja clan leaders, showed a trace of sadness on his face, and the jonins on the surrounding roofs who were responsible for monitoring the delegation throughout the process were also touched.

"According to what you said..."

Huitu gritted his teeth and said, "Does Konoha want to go to war with us? "

With a loud bang.

It was as if a bolt of lightning struck everyone's mind.

The crowd of onlookers suddenly exploded.

"You want war?"

But the voice of one of Uchiha Fugaku was louder than all of them.

When he turned around, a terrifying red light burst out of his eyes, and three black magatama slowly turned.

"A junior of Uchiha, who only killed a few hundred of you, lost his composure and ran to your doorstep to make trouble..."

He paused, his voice slow and full of oppression, "If you want war, are you Iwagakure ready for thousands or tens of thousands of deaths or even extinction? ! "

The invisible pressure spread out with Uchiha Fugaku's sight.

Everyone in front of him felt as if a cold spider was crawling on their backs, and their throats tightened a lot.

Everyone had only one thought in their minds at this moment-

The person in front of them could definitely kill all of them in an instant.

"One Rock Ninja is not enough..."

The representative of the Land of Lightning had cold sweat on his head and turned his eyes to the bewildered Mizutomon Yan: "What about our Cloud Ninja Village? Are you Konoha ready to face two countries at the same time?"

After being a wooden man for a long time, Mizutomon Yan finally reacted and hurriedly explained loudly: "Don't misinterpret our meaning! Uchiha alone cannot represent the entire Konoha..."

"Then at least give us an explanation first."

The representative of the Cloud Ninja walked to Huitu and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, "When the two countries are not at war, sending ninjas to run into someone else's house and kill people, isn't this a declaration of war? You can send Uchiha Shisui to the Land of Earth today, but can't you send him to our Land of Lightning tomorrow to make a scene? Or is this just the strategy of the Third Hokage to weaken us..."

"This is definitely not the order of the Hokage!"

Mito Kado Yan nervously adjusted his glasses that slipped down due to sweat, and turned to ask: "Patriarch Fugaku, what is going on? Why did Uchiha Shisui do this?"

Once other countries think that this behavior is Konoha's strategy, everyone will be in danger, then Konoha will really become the enemy of the world.

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head: "There is no need to explain anything about things that are not even clear about the cause and effect. It is hard to say whether it is true or false..."

"We have evidence!"

Huitu retorted loudly: "But are you sure you want to watch it here?"

Uchiha Fugaku stared at him deeply, and then said to Mito Kado Yan: "I only know that Shisui went to the Land of Water this time to carry out the mission of the Root. Everyone knows this child Shisui, he is definitely not the kind of person who kills hundreds of people at will. "

"You mean..."

Mizuto Kado En shuddered: "Danzo? !"

"Yes."

The Anbu took the order and left.

The senior ninjas present were extremely disappointed with Mizuto Kado En's timid performance. On the contrary, Shimura Danzo, who had the most sinister style and the toughest attitude, might still have some hope.

Before Danzo, the insider, arrived, everyone froze in front of the gate of Konoha.

Uchiha Fugaku closed his eyes and disdained to talk to these trash who came to complain; the envoys of the two countries were troubled by Fugaku's attitude, and they were entangled in what to do next to achieve the goal of biting off a piece of fat meat.

But what they didn't know was that the delegation's visit to ask for an explanation was just an overt action. The shadows of the two countries had already reached an agreement with Shimura Danzo...

At this time, about sixty jonins from the two countries were waiting for the signal from the root ninjas at the outskirts of Konoha's Death Forest.

In the crowd, Sasuke, who didn't know what was going on, was completely lost.

Giyuu, who was uncomfortable even fighting with his peers, ran to the Hot Spring Village and chopped off dozens or hundreds of people's heads.

Shisui, the best and gentlest brother in the clan, went on a killing spree in the Rock Village and almost started a war.

[Why, they are all doing something that they don't think they would do at all! ]

Just then, he noticed that his father, who had his Sharingan open, glanced at him lightly.

Fugaku didn't open his mouth, but a line of subtitles appeared in Sasuke's field of vision.

"Don't walk around after the ceremony. Go home with your mother and stay with the clan members."

Obviously, Uchiha Fugaku had already anticipated that today's matter might not end so easily.

Sasuke clenched his fists and nodded heavily, as if there was a whale churning in his stomach.

About ten minutes later, the direct ANBU of Mitomon En came back.

"Danzo said that this matter is very complicated and not suitable for public discussion in such a place."

The ANBU reported: "He has made preparations and hopes that the leaders and deputies of the envoys of the two countries, the clan leaders of the major ninja clans, and the representatives of the village's senior ninjas will go to the Hokage Building for detailed discussions. As for the accompanying personnel of the delegation, please go to the embassy to rest first."

The envoys of the two countries immediately made a mess after hearing this.

"Why?"

"Only four people go, who knows what you will do!"

The representatives of the envoys of Rock Ninja and Cloud Ninja sat and watched their subordinates quarreling, and did not intend to take risks alone.

"Danzo said that the matter may involve the secrets of various countries. If you are unwilling to compromise, please go home."

The ANBU said lightly, and the envoys of the two countries immediately shut up.

Then he looked at the representatives of Huitu and Kumogakure: "He asked me to tell you that Konoha is a village that upholds the concept of peace, and will definitely abide by diplomatic etiquette and will never hurt you. Regarding Uchiha Shisui, he will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"In that case." Huitu snorted coldly, "Then let's talk about it there."

After saying this, he led his deputy past the jonin of Konoha and walked along Ichiraku Avenue without anyone leading the way, towards the location of the Hokage Building. The representative and deputy of Kumogakure followed behind slowly.

"Come on, take a few people and take the envoys to the embassy to rest."

With Danzo willing to take over this stall, Mito Kado En finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the jonin of Konoha and the clan leaders of the big clans, "Let's go too."

At this time, the Anbu said again: "Danzo said that the clan leader of Hyuga Hiashi doesn't have to go."

Hyuga Hiashi was not surprised.

Danzo said that he sent someone to pass the message last night, "Even if three Hyuga jonins are watching one, these people must be kept a close eye on." In the following time, he will be responsible for monitoring the two countries' delegations.

Although it is a bit of a waste of talent, letting the Hyuga clan perform this task is also a way to show their attitude.

Mitomon En looked at Uchiha Fugaku worriedly, and rushed to the Hokage Building with a large group of people.

Fugaku stood there until everyone else left, and then he said to Uchiha Tiehuo: "After you evacuate the residents, immediately summon all the guards to return to the clan."

"Just like three years ago?"

Uchiha Tiehuo was referring to the "Iron Curtain" period between Konoha and Uchiha after Enhuo disappeared.

"I always feel that things will be very troublesome next."

Without outsiders, Uchiha Fugaku sighed tiredly, "If I don't come back before 12 o'clock tonight, you know what to do."

"Is it that serious?"

Uchiha Mikoto worriedly held her husband's wrist.

"What Shisui did is indeed not like the task that the Third Generation would assign to him."

Fugaku shook his head, "Now facing the threat of war between the two countries, a large part of the responsibility will eventually fall on the Uchiha."

He glanced at the civilians who thought that the war was coming and had panicked. Many of them had already glared at the guards.

As Mitomon En said, the Uchiha were not afraid of war, but they could not represent the entire Konoha.

"It's a pity that the relationship between the clan and the outside world has finally improved. But once we become the culprit of the war because of this incident, we will immediately become the culprit. If this really happens, when things are at their most serious..."

Fugaku's voice was fierce, as if he had returned to three years ago, and he said firmly: "We must not sit and wait for death!"

"Understood." Tiehuo nodded and asked the other guards to leave immediately.

A trace of fear about the future flashed in Uchiha Mikoto's eyes: "Fugaku, you..."

"Take good care of the children, I have to go."

Fugaku reached out and pressed his wife's shoulder, "Do you know where Itachi went?"

Mikoto said uncertainly: "Maybe he was feeding the crows at Shisui's house..."

"Find him." Fugaku let go of his hand and arranged in a heavy tone: "Take Sasuke and stay with the tribe, don't separate."

After saying this, Uchiha Fugaku turned and left, heading for the Hokage Building alone.

A rally to welcome "peace" ended just like that, and everyone set off on their way home with uneasiness in their hearts.

Standing in the crowd, Zuosuke noticed sensitively that the look many people looked at him became similar to the look they looked at the kid who stole things in the class before, as if he had made some mistake.

At this moment, he felt a cold loneliness like never before.

"Ignore those guys."

Naruto was very familiar with that look, and punched Zuosuke's vest lightly, "Don't worry too much. Even if no one plays with you in school in the future, I won't abandon you."

"I want you to talk nonsense!"

After Sasuke replied with half gratitude and half annoyance, he noticed his mother walking in the direction of him and immediately understood that it was impossible to train with Naruto today.

"I heard about Giyuu at Ichiraku Ramen today."

Zuosuke seized the moment and said quickly: "If I can come out tomorrow, I will tell you in detail."

After saying this, Mikoto walked up to him, said hello to Naruto and Hinata, and left with Saosuke.

Seeing Naruto staring intently at Zuosuke's back, his brows furrowing more and more tightly, Hinata stammered: "It will be fine..."

"But I always feel panicked, like something big is about to happen."

Naruto touched his belly. He hadn't felt this way for a long time since Anjuro came to Konoha.

Little did he know, it was just the Kyuubi in his stomach that was regretting why as soon as he returned to land, he had canceled the clone he had left with Giyuu, and now he had no way of notifying him.

"If something happens to that kid's family..."

Thinking of the scene when Giyuu and Orochimaru fought, and the other's sudden change of emotions when he saw the Sharingan deep in the experimental base, Kyuubi felt flustered for no reason.

He was afraid that when Giyuu was angered, he would fight in Konoha, even forgetting the existence of Uzumaki Naruto, and the aftermath of a casual slash could kill the brat...

the other side.

Without saying a word, Uchiha Mikoto took Sasuke to Shisui's residence, wanting to see if Itachi was there.

Because Zhisui's relationship with his tribe has always been delicate and he raised many noisy crows, his residence was at the outermost edge of the tribe's territory. Except for Itachi and Giyuu, no one usually comes here.

But when Uchiha Mikoto opened the courtyard door, she was surprised to find that it was not Itachi waiting inside, but four masked ninjas.

"Anbu?"

Through the mask, Uchiha Mikoto could not see the sight of these people, and it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, so she immediately protected Zuosuke behind her.

"It's the roots."

After the root ninja corrected him, he said straight to the point: "Uchiha Mikoto, Danzo-sama wants to see you. Come with us."

"Now?"

Hearing the word "root", Uchiha Mikoto's vigilance increased to a new level.

"As for Danzo, shouldn't he be meeting with the delegation at the Hokage Building now?"

Without answering Uchiha Mikoto's question, the root ninja just expected it, reached out and picked up a ninja sword from the stone table, and showed it to her and Zuosuke.

"That's my brother's ninja sword!"

Zuosuke was very familiar with Itachi's weapons, and his eyes immediately turned ferocious, "Why are Itachi's weapons in your hands?"

Uchiha Mikoto's face was pale, as if her heart was squeezed tightly by an invisible hand. She felt dizzy, and the edges of her vision seemed to be covered with a thin layer of black fog.

"Itachi Uchiha is under investigation at the root."

The root ninja put the ninja sword back, "As a mother, you must want to see his current situation."

"You guys," thinking of all the rumors at the root, Uchiha Mikoto's Sharingan suddenly opened and asked in a cold voice, "What did you do to Itachi?"

The root ninja waved his hand, "Please calm down. Even if we tell the truth and say we didn't do anything to him, you wouldn't believe it unless you saw it with your own eyes, right?"

Uchiha Mikoto frowned, "Then I'll send Zuosuke home first..."

"Sorry, time is urgent. Envoys from both countries are waiting for an explanation. You either have to. Come with us now..."

The root ninja refused without thinking, "Or, we can only take you away by force."

He raised his palms, and four more masked ninjas appeared behind Uchiha Mikoto.
