Chapter 19 Aftermath

Root base.

Danzo flipped through the report in his hand.

The report wrote about the damage to the Uchiha clan this time.

"You mean, such a large area of ​​damage was caused by Fugaku and Itachi alone?"

The root below confirmed:

"Yes, Lord Danzo, most of the buildings in the clan were destroyed. The scene was like a fight between several Kage-level masters."

Why is the Mangekyō so powerful?

Danzo paced back and forth. Before, Shisui only told him about Kotoamatsukami.

And even if he was chased and showed Susanoo, it would not be so powerful.

He naturally didn't know that Uchiha's Susanoo had several stages.

And Shisui's situation was not good at the time, and his fighting spirit was not strong.

So Shisui used Susanoo very conservatively.

"How many people did Itachi take away?"

"Reply to the Lord, the specific data has not yet come out, and the Uchiha side is not cooperating. The preliminary estimate is hundreds of people."

"What did the third generation say?" Danzo lowered his eyes, and the whole person in the shadows could not see joy or anger.

Root replied: "The Third Hokage said that there will only be a departure tonight, no rebellion."

Danzo heard this and slammed his cane on the ground.

"Hmph, Third Hokage, you are old after all."

"You actually defend Uchiha, a man with wolfish ambitions."

"Send our people to spread the message in the village tomorrow. Because the Third Hokage is incompetent, say that Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui led people to defect."

"Yes!"

After the men went down.

Danzo walked into the darkness, with a greedy light in his eyes.

Mangekyo...

...

Hyuga family.

Hiashi, Hiashi and other elders.

Also looking at the investigation report in their hands.

The destruction of the Uchiha clan's land is like being ravaged by the tailed beast.

Can we, the Hyuga family, do it?

As the only two wealthy families in Konoha, the Hyuga family has always been a benchmark with the Uchiha family.

During the Third Shinobi World War, they were also on par with them.

Although they are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, the Byakugan's reconnaissance ability is also very impressive.

Didn't you see that Kirigakure got a Byakugan, and you wanted to beat the drums and gongs?

So the Byakugan is also very strong.

But now it seems that the Uchiha family has produced two powerful Mangekyō masters.

And one of them is the head of the family, Uchiha Fugaku.

The other one is even more amazing, Itachi, who is only eleven years old.

His future growth is limitless.

"Clan leader, Uchiha sent this this morning."

Hiashi opened it and saw that it was a letter of recommendation from Fugaku.

The general meaning was that Fugaku was unable to handle the affairs of the guard team due to his injury, and recommended Hizashi as the captain of the guard team.

The rest were some suggestions and plans for the development of the guard team by Fugaku.

It was obvious that it had been prepared long ago.

After Hiashi read it, Hizashi and other elders of the main family circulated it.

Everyone understood what Fugaku meant. He meant to completely withdraw from the power class of Konoha.

Although Fugaku had hinted before, he didn't expect it to come so suddenly.

And the way was so decisive.

The destruction of the Uchiha clan's land was intentional, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance. Because those houses were basically empty.

There were almost no casualties. How could a real battle ask you to withdraw the people first?

"I think that since Uchiha Natsuki came back, Uchiha Fugaku has become a different person." Hizashi said.

The rest of the people were all smart people. They all saw what Fugaku was like before and what Fugaku did after Natsuki came back.

Everyone agreed that Natsuki was very smart.

Hiashi spoke last: "Anyway, now the Uchiha have completely given up their former rights."

"And Itachi has also taken away a large number of people, so there is no reason for the village to target them anymore."

"Fugaku gave us such a big gift before he left, and we Hyuga family cannot lose our manners."

Hiashi paused: "There are still a small number of Uchiha clan members in the guard team, so let them manage their own neighborhoods and double their rewards."

Then he changed his tone: "Hiashi, who else is in this batch of senior ninja school besides Hinata? Is Neji also there?"

Hiashi thought for a while: "Yes, clan leader, besides Hinata, there are Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji..."

He read out all the children of this batch of senior ninjas, and added Naruto.

"As for Neji, he is one year older than Hinata."

As a large clan, they will investigate the background of the people who go to school with their children in advance.

Build good relationships in advance to pave the way for future development.

Hiashi nodded:

"It doesn't matter if they are one year older. We are in the same school anyway. Let Neji and Sasuke build a good relationship."

"Yes!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Sarutobi Hiruzen, I wonder if you will regret it?

...

Say regret.

The third generation has already regretted it a little.

He has seen the destructiveness of the scene with his own eyes.

Only then did he know that the destructive power of Uchiha was so strong.

While he was glad that they didn't fight before, he was also annoyed why he didn't treat Uchiha better.

Now Uchiha doesn't play with him anymore.

Early in the morning, Uchiha Fugaku handed in his resignation letter and a letter of recommendation.

In the resignation letter, he said that his failure as the clan leader led to the disagreement between Itachi and himself and his departure from Konoha.

He resigned and recommended Hizashi to take over his work in the security team.

He also said that except Hizashi, no one else could do it well.

In addition, there is the explanation of the relocation of Uchiha.

Because of the damage to the clan land, the Uchiha decided to relocate the entire clan five kilometers outside Konoha Village to rebuild it.

The distance of five kilometers is very interesting. Why?

Because the range of the detection barrier outside Konoha Village is up to five kilometers.

What Uchiha meant was that you don’t need to use the detection barrier to protect us. We are responsible for our own safety.

But don’t come to monitor us. We play by ourselves.

Since you didn’t define Itachi as a traitor, then we Uchiha still belong to Konoha Village, just live a little further away.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the pile of papers in front of him.

It felt more tiring than doing a day of government affairs. Among them, Fugaku not only resigned himself, but also several other senior officials in the security team resigned at the same time.

Among them are the third elder Uchiha Takuya and the fourth elder Uchiha Yohei who followed Itachi out of the village. There is no Uchiha left in the management.

Only some dovish Uchiha are left, at the bottom, and there are very few of them.

It is estimated that the Uchiha stayed behind on purpose to look after their own business.

In the past, the third generation Hokage tried every means to suppress the Uchiha clan in the guard team.

And he also spread public opinion offensives to make the majority of villagers suspicious of them.

They are afraid that the Uchiha will become powerful one day, gain more power, and run for the Hokage.

But now, the Uchiha simply doesn't play with them.

If you, the Hokage, don't allow us Uchiha to take power, then we won't have this idea, and we don't want it.

And it's hard to say whether Uchiha Itachi's departure was instructed by Fugaku or Xia Mu.

Because this knife completely stabbed Konoha's waist.

First, the Uchiha clan claimed that someone was trying to steal their Sharingan, so they left.

Second, show off your muscles and fully demonstrate the power of the Mangekyo to the ninja clan, so that everyone can weigh the cost of targeting the Uchiha clan.

Third, eliminate the threat. Itachi's departure took away a large number of Uchiha elites, and the Uchiha clan no longer has so many people. If you want to use the Uchiha clan again, they can use the excuse of insufficient manpower to prevaricate.

Fourth, if you use force against the Uchiha clan, at least the Uchiha clan has three pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan to fight. The key is that you don't know where Itachi is and when he will appear.

Finally, the time node, Konoha is now signing a peace agreement with Kumogakure.

At this juncture. If the third generation sends the Anbu to hunt down the Uchiha clan, then his own regime will be in jeopardy.

Now the Uchiha clan is just "leaving". If you force the Uchiha clan to rebel, the Kumogakure clan will not come to sign a peace agreement, but to start a war.

It's all Danzo's fault. If he hadn't dug out Shisui's eyes on his own initiative, how could things have turned out like this?

You know, Itachi and Shisui are both close to the village.

…
