Chapter 15 Shock
Hokage Building.
"What!? Itachi attacked Danzo and gouged out his eyes!?"
"And escaped Danzo's encirclement unscathed?"
Upon hearing the report that he was a spy who had infiltrated Danzo's inner circle, the Third Hokage almost dropped his pipe.
The spy replied in a low voice, "Yes, Itachi Uchiha also has the Mangekyou Sharingan."
"He used the same Susanoo as Shisui, but it was orange-red in color."
The Third Hokage's expression turned quite grim upon hearing this.
There were several reasons why he allowed Danzo to wipe out the Uchiha clan.
One of them is that Shisui's eye is missing.
It is highly likely that it was captured by the Uchiha clan.
It goes without saying how terrifying Kotoamatsukami is, so it would be best to have Danzo do such a thing.
The Third Hokage also believed that even if the Uchiha clan put up a resistance, they could be completely wiped out.
Especially now that Itachi, a skilled Uchiha, has defected to Konoha.
Ninjas are all high-attack but low-defense characters; with an inside agent, they can carry out a decapitation strike at any time.
The Uchiha clan had absolutely no chance of winning.
Dealing with such an arrogant and conceited genius as the Uchiha is incredibly easy.
If you praise this kind of genius on several occasions, the other person will soon lose themselves in the process.
Anyway, for a competent politician like the Third Hokage, it's just a matter of talking; it's a piece of cake.
He then recruited Itachi into the Anbu, which made it easier to brainwash him.
Fugaku, who suffers from the common Uchiha flaw, arrogantly believes that Itachi would never betray the clan.
Therefore, they sent him to infiltrate Konoha as a spy.
Fugaku's folly lay in the fact that, for two years after Shisui's death, Itachi and Fugaku barely communicated.
He had no idea about Itachi's state of mind and arrogantly assumed that Itachi was definitely on the side of the clan.
The Third Hokage issues missions to Itachi every day, brainwashing him day and night.
Let the other advisors and elders play the bad cop to put pressure on Itachi, while you play the good cop and say some high-sounding words.
This way, Itachi could have unlimited faith in the Third Hokage, even if the Third Hokage was just saying it.
Itachi reported which members of the guard unit were more radical, and the Third Hokage found a reason to fire them.
Itachi reported that the gathering of the guards could easily lead to a coup, so the Third Hokage found a reason to divide them.
Therefore, Itachi was completely manipulated by the Third Hokage from beginning to end.
The Third Hokage could wipe out an entire clan simply by talking.
This is what makes politics so terrifying.
Moreover, Itachi was always in an information cocoon and was completely unable to clearly perceive all of this.
It was only after he had been a defector for several years, and his horizons had broadened, that he realized how foolish he had been.
However, the die was cast, and Itachi was ultimately worn down by the immense mental pressure.
His mental state manifested in his physical body, and the Kaleidoscope was an extremely demanding thing for the body, which is why Itachi died young.
Normally, Itachi wouldn't be awake at this time.
However, even the Third Hokage couldn't have imagined that the Uchiha clan possessed something like Izanami, a form of forced brainwashing.
If your mind isn't clear, you'll stay trapped in a cycle.
All he knows now is that Itachi has switched sides at the last minute, and that Itachi is a powerful Mangekyou Sharingan user.
The Third Hokage is now in a precarious situation. He, as a Hokage, still has some understanding of things like the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Unless he has matching combat power of the same level, he can only rely on killing people to build up strength.
The Uchiha clan is now certainly prepared for a desperate fight.
If they take action now, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.
The Third Hokage took a irritated drag on his cigarette: "How is Danzo now?"
The spy, disguised as a root, said:
"When I left, a preliminary diagnosis had been made that Danzo had suffered a severe mental blow and had also developed other physical problems."
Keep in mind that even when Kakashi was in his prime, he was bedridden for a week after being hit by the Moon Dictionary.
Danzo is now over sixty years old, so his physical and mental health are naturally weak.
Moreover, the modification of his Wood Release arm is not stable.
It is still unknown when he will wake up.
Although the Third Hokage didn't know about Tsukuyomi, he did know that Danzo couldn't be relied on for the time being.
"Call Koharu Tatemono and Homura Mitokado over here immediately!"
……
The entrance to the Uchiha clan compound was already packed with people.
Many people are dragged directly out of their sleep.
However, the Uchiha clan still had its roots, and upon hearing of a major battle, they quickly donned their battle gear and went out.
Standing in front of the clan were Fugaku, the First Elder, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder.
The elder had sharp eyes and was waiting patiently.
The Second Elder and Third Elder looked very grim. They had previously been working to maintain peaceful coexistence with Konoha.
Danzo has now issued an order to exterminate the Uchiha clan, and members of the Root organization have already reached the outskirts of their clan territory.
This feeling was undoubtedly like being slapped dozens of times across their faces.
And the more they know, the more alarmed they become.
I never imagined the Uchiha clan had reached such a dangerous state.
Tap tap tap, the sound of footsteps approached, and Itachi returned alone.
He fell to the front of the line.
Angri shouts rang out incessantly: "Uchiha Itachi! How dare you betray your clan!"
"Uchiha Itachi, you traitor!"
Itachi looked somewhat blank and tired, with bloodstains around his eyes. He seemed not to hear what was being said around him.
He glanced at Fugaku once, then stood next to the elder.
Fugaku gave a bitter smile; he was partly to blame for how things had turned out this way.
The elder looked down at the clansmen with a dignified gaze.
The clansmen all shut their mouths. Si Hu, as the most hawkish and powerful elder, had earned his reputation through numerous battles.
Although his hair and beard were all white, he was strong and his body was muscular. Dressed in combat gear, he exuded a murderous aura and was extremely imposing.
The elder remained silent, and everyone else kept quiet, not daring to speak.
The wait was short, and Qianyao landed with Quan.
All eyes were on him.
Chiyo grabbed Izumi and pushed her into Itachi's arms, saying:
"You won't be threatened by the people of Konoha anymore. Sasuke has saved you, and Izumi has also been saved."
Itachi was stunned for a moment, and Izumi had already thrown herself into his arms like a swallow returning to its nest.
Overwhelmed by a mix of emotions—grievance, fear, and gratitude—Quan's face was already streaked with tears.
"Itachi, waaaaah..."
Itachi's body stiffened for a moment, and he looked at Chiyo.
Qianyao simply gave him a look that said, "You'll see."
At this moment, Itachi didn't say anything, he just hugged Izumi tightly.
Seeing that Itachi's bond value was continuing to increase, Qianyao felt reassured, realizing that it was working!
He glanced at Fugaku, who was basically just occupying a position without doing any work, and then stood at the front of the line to speak:
"Tonight, our Uchiha clan did not stage a coup; it was merely a counterattack against the invasion by Danzo and the Root."
Did you understand?
When the Uchiha enter battle mode, although their intelligence doesn't increase, they still retain the basic qualities of a ninja.
"Understood!"
Even if people don't understand why they're doing this, they know that at this point, they should just obey.
