Chapter 514: The Night of Clan Annihilation!
Chapter 514: The Night of Clan Annihilation!
Root Division!
"Is the Uchiha Second Elder really holding this celebration just to compensate his wife?"
Danzo looked at the subordinate in front of him, still finding it hard to believe.
The Uchiha Second Elder was a contemporary ninja, and Danzo was well acquainted with him.
A lifelong bachelor, he had dedicated everything to the clan, and Shizuru, who he had trained, was highly respected by the Uchiha Clan.
But now, he had suddenly announced that he had a wife, a beautiful young widow, making it hard not to be suspicious.
It was impossible that he had suddenly found new love at this age.
"Yes, Danzo-sama, our investigation confirms that they did indeed get married a few years ago in secret. Due to their identities, they couldn't hold a public wedding, so he's using this celebration as a way to make up for it!"
The Root Division member reported his findings.
Hmm, even with their informants within the Uchiha Clan, it was still easy for the Second Elder to create a facade.
Holding a celebration to compensate his wife after all these years seemed reasonable.
At that moment, in the Hokage's office!
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the person before him with fatigue, "Itachi, don't be impulsive. I'm sure I can resolve this matter!"
As he spoke, he recalled the scene that had just transpired.
The person had requested an audience and, upon meeting, made a startling request that left him shaken.
"Hokage-sama, I ask that you give the Uchiha one more day. After today, the Uchiha will not rebel, but they will be destroyed by their internal strife!"
Itachi's face remained unmoved, as if he were discussing something trivial.
"Itachi, do you understand what you're asking?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen demanded an answer.
He had planned to use the ANBU to capture several core members of the Uchiha Clan on charges of 'rebellion' and then slowly dismantle the clan under the pretext of 'suspected rebellion'.
He hadn't expected such a request.
His memory returned to the present.
"Please grant my request, Hokage-sama!" Itachi pleaded again, his tone resolute. "The Uchiha must not bear the stain of rebellion!"
To him, the Uchiha's reputation was far more important than those 'arrogant' clan members.
Moreover, a Uchiha rebellion would deal a severe blow to the village, which was why he had chosen to eradicate the clan himself.
If he took action, it would have nothing to do with the village, and the Uchiha wouldn't bear the shame of 'rebellion'.
It seemed he was truly delusional.
When Shizuru took his life, he had entrusted Itachi with safeguarding the Uchiha's honor, which was why Itachi had made this choice.
"Itachi, I'll find a way to stop the Uchiha!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen tried to reassure him.
"Please look after Sasuke in the future, Hokage-sama!"
Uchiha Itachi left without another word.
He had made his decision, and this visit was merely to inform them, with no expectation of their approval.
With the Hokage being so 'kind', he would have to bear the blame.
After leaving the office, Itachi headed to a secluded grove at the rear of the village and met with the man who called himself 'Uchiha Sasuke'.
After exchanging information, Itachi went to the Ninja Academy, keeping a watchful eye on the already enrolled Obito.
In the classroom!
Sasuke seemed to sense something and subconsciously turned to look out the window, but saw nothing.
Soon, evening approached.
Caw! Caw!
In the sky, a flock of crows flew by, as if foretelling something.
At that moment, the usually bustling celebration venue had become eerily quiet.
The celebration had ended, but strangely, no one was cleaning up, which seemed odd.
Many of the Uchiha who had come to the celebration hadn't returned home but had been taken to a secret location halfway.
The Second Elder had made his preparations.
If things unfolded as the other party had described, he would allow these people to enter the underground and follow their instructions to leave.
But if those events didn't occur, he wouldn't let them go.
He was staking everything on this.
He had forced them to stay.
If nothing happened today, even as the Second Elder, he would face dire consequences.
Despite the charge of 'Coercing the Clan', not even the Clan Leader could escape punishment.
The Second Elder was willing to take the risk because Uchiha Meika personally visited him. Otherwise, who else would dare to stake everything on this?
Outside the Uchiha Compound.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Shadows gathered and condensed, but no one dared to take a step into the Uchiha Compound.
They had received orders that until a signal was given, no matter what happened, they were not to enter, and no one was allowed to leave.
Hum! A semi-transparent barrier was erected.
It was not a defensive barrier but a soundproof one, with minimal technical complexity. Aside from the tedious setup, there was nothing noteworthy about it.
However, such a massive barrier would undoubtedly require a significant amount of materials and preparation time.
Once the barrier was activated, no matter how loud the sounds inside, they would not be heard from the outside.
Tap! Tap!
Amid the sound of wooden staffs, Danzo, half of his body wrapped in bandages, appeared among the ANBU and Root Division ninjas.
Naturally, he was in charge of today's operation, and regardless of the outcome, the Fire Shadow would remain 'unaware'.
What Danzo didn't know was that one of the ANBU squads beside him had been secretly replaced.
"It seems that if the mission fails, Danzo will 'assist' Daidoshi!"
Tang Ping, wearing an ANBU mask, commented on the current situation.
"The renowned Uchiha Clan of the Ninja World is about to be exterminated, and it's done by their own people. How interesting!"
Hyuga Cangyue, under his ANBU mask, was subtly mocking a rival.
"The Uchiha Clan isn't completely wiped out; we are still here," Uchiha Meika retorted.
At this moment, her feelings were mixed, both saddened and excited.
The sadness stemmed from witnessing the impending deaths of many Uchiha, while the excitement came from the knowledge that after today, the Uchiha in the Heavenly Castle would be the only 'legitimate' ones to carry on the Uchiha name.
Overall, excitement prevailed.
Uchiha Meika's heart harbored resentment towards the other Uchiha branches.
After all, the position of Clan Leader originally belonged to her branch, and the subsequent betrayal severed any familial bonds.
If not for this, she wouldn't have remained uninvolved.
Had the Uchiha in the Heavenly Castle intervened, today's tragedy would never have occurred.
However, even with her involvement, she chose not to stop the tragedy but instead took the opportunity to absorb fresh Uchiha blood, indicating her satisfaction with the disappearance of the Uchiha on the Leaf Village side.
One Uchiha is enough; there's no need for two.
"... "
Under his ANBU mask, Hyuga Cangyue's expression was slightly displeased, as he had failed to provoke a reaction from Uchiha Meika.
"Enough!"
Tang Ping intervened as he saw the two about to argue, fearing they would come to blows.
Hearing Tang Ping's words, the two stopped.
Soon, they changed into Shell Organization attire and entered the Uchiha Compound.
Various traps and barriers were as nothing to them.
Not long after entering the compound, a pungent scent of blood reached their noses.
"Ah!"
"Run!"
...
Occasional screams and the sound of blades tearing through flesh echoed.
'Has it already begun?'
Tang Ping's gaze followed the direction of the screams.
He had thought there would be more time, but it was starting sooner than expected.
However, this made sense given the large number of people. Even if they lined up for Daidoshi to kill them one by one, it would take considerable time, especially since they were scattered throughout the compound. The assassins were likely working quickly.
That's right!
The chosen individuals numbered around seven hundred.
Among them were five hundred ordinary people and about two hundred teenagers.
The number was limited due to considerations of age, personality, relationships, and more.
The entire Uchiha Clan, including ordinary members, numbered only a few thousand.
With seven hundred fewer people, it would be challenging to notice the difference unless one carefully counted the bodies or closely observed the population.
