Chapter 6, the third generation burst into laughter, causing an uproar throughout the village.
Chapter 6, the third generation burst into laughter, causing an uproar throughout the village.
A huge light curtain hangs in the night sky, seemingly projected, but its source cannot be found.
Without any warning of chakra fluctuations, it abruptly broke through the night sky of Konoha, illuminating the entire village as if it were daytime.
The images on the light screen were clear and extremely high-definition, and even had a sound amplification system.
"Hiruzen has already tacitly agreed."
These words echoed through the air above Konoha Village, and every villager heard them.
In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi sat behind the large desk.
On the table were documents that hadn't been approved yet, and next to them was a plate of his favorite three-colored meatballs.
Just a second ago, he was in a good mood.
Dinner time, a rare moment of rest.
He picked up a string of meatballs, ready to put them in his mouth.
The moment the sound rang out, Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand froze in mid-air.
He also saw the scene in the sky, and his old friend standing high up, arrogant and domineering.
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen was so angry he almost fainted.
"Hiruzen has already tacitly agreed."
The tricolor dumplings, coated in sweet sauce, fell onto the table.
His mouth was open, his pipe was askew, and his mind was blank.
What is Danzo doing? What nonsense is he spouting?
Tacit approval? Slaughtering everyone, even infants? Even the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki must be dealt with?
"This...this is...this is something that can be said out loud?"
in the corner.
Four of his direct subordinates knelt on one knee.
They wore masks, obscuring their expressions, but their bodies betrayed them.
The elite ninja who crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood was trembling at this moment. It didn't matter that the enemy was powerful; the most important thing was that his faith had collapsed.
What did they hear? Was it something they could hear?
The Hokage, whom he had always sworn to serve to the death, known as the Third Hokage and who constantly spoke of the Will of Fire, actually condoned this massacre?
They don't even spare babies.
This can't be described as simply brutal and cold-blooded; it's worse than being an animal.
One of the ANBU members lowered his head even further, not daring to look up at the Hokage, for fear of seeing a look of tacit agreement on his aged face.
The office was eerily quiet, but the sounds outside the window continued.
Danzo's roar, Sasuke's screams, and the explosion of the explosive tags all mingled together.
"Danzo!!!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi finally came to his senses.
The desk shattered into pieces in an instant, and documents flew everywhere.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and tore off his divine robe.
"This is slander! This is an enemy plot!"
He roared at the ANBU member kneeling on the ground.
"Quick! Investigate! Where's the source?! Turn off that damn light screen!"
"yes!"
The four secret agents were relieved and vanished instantly. To be honest, they were in an awkward position, having been looking for an excuse to leave.
Hiruzen Sarutobi braced his hands against the windowsill, staring at the curtain of light in the sky.
Whether it's a conspiracy or some kind of illusion, the dirty water has already been poured on him, and he can't avoid it.
Moreover, it was done completely in front of the entire village.
Ichiraku Ramen.
The middle-aged man was holding a strainer, preparing to scoop the freshly cooked ramen into a bowl.
The moment the light screen lit up.
He remained frozen in place, scooping noodles, like a statue.
There were two customers sitting in the shop.
One is Iruka, who just got off work, and the other is Genma Shiranui, who is waiting for his noodles.
Iruka's chopsticks froze in mid-air.
With half a noodle still dangling from his mouth, he stared blankly at the sky.
In the scene, Danzo points at the blond child and says coldly, "Even if he's the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, if he's in the way, we'll deal with him too."
"Naruto..."
The noodles Iruka was eating fell into the bowl; Naruto was his student.
Although he is usually very mischievous, and although everyone calls him the fox demon, he is still a living, breathing child.
The higher-ups wanted to kill him? And they even went so far as to impersonate an Uchiha rebel and kill him by mistake?
"This...this must be a joke, right?" Iruka stood up. "How could the Third Hokage possibly agree to something like this?"
Genma Shiranui dropped the senbon he was holding in his mouth onto the table.
He was a special Jonin who had experienced the Third Shinobi World War.
He understands politics better than Iruka.
The image shows Danzo's eyes, tone of voice, and attitude of treating human life as worthless.
These things can't be acted out; they're real.
"This is troublesome." Genma Shiranui picked up the senbon needles. "If this is true, Konoha's sky is about to fall."
The bustling commercial streets of Konoha were now eerily silent.
Everyone stopped in their tracks.
Mighty, who was walking upside down on the roof, stumbled and fell, but instead of jumping up and shouting "Youth!", he lay on the edge of the eaves, staring at the sky in shock.
At the entrance of the bookstore on the street corner, Kakashi Hatake was leaning against the wall, holding "Icha Icha Paradise" in his hands.
Kakashi closed the book and lifted his headband.
The Sharingan in his left eye opened instantly, and the three tomoe spun wildly.
"Illusion?"
Kakashi muttered to himself.
The Sharingan has the ability to see through all illusions.
In their field of vision, there was no trace of chakra flow in the light curtain in the sky.
That's not an illusion; it's more like a projection of light and shadow, meaning it's real.
Kakashi's gaze locked onto Danzo in the image, as well as the arm inlaid with Sharingan eyes.
As a former member of the Anbu, Kakashi had vaguely heard that Danzo was collecting Sharingan eyes.
But he never expected Danzo to be so insane.
"Did they even steal Shisui's eyes...?"
Such a gentle man, in the end, was driven to his death?
Are those in power completely devoid of humanity? Perhaps, this is the only way they can maintain their positions.
"Father……"
My father was also driven to his death by the public opinion in the village.
Was this also Danzo's doing? Did the Third Hokage tacitly approve of it?
Kakashi was also filled with rage at this moment, almost to the point of materialization.
At the entrance of a barbecue restaurant.
Sarutobi Asuma, hearing Hiruzen's tacit approval, was at a loss for words.
"Old man..."
He knew his father was somewhat indecisive, but exterminating the entire clan? Slaughtering all the Uchiha?
"This can't be!" Asma roared, trying to convince those around him, and himself, "This is an enemy plot to sow discord! The old man would never do such a thing!"
No one responded to him.
The surrounding villagers were initially watching the spectacle, thinking it was a prank or some kind of drill being conducted by the village.
But as the scene unfolded, and Danzo's words, each one more piercing than the last, were spoken, they realized they were now the ones being watched.
The atmosphere has changed.
A woman holding a child instinctively hugged the baby tighter in her arms.
"That must be Lord Danzo, right? There's no mistake."
"He said the Third Hokage tacitly approved it... And, oh my god, they're even going to kill Naruto?"
Someone in the crowd shouted something.
"Lord Third, come out and explain! What exactly is going on?!"
"Danzo, come out here!"
The lofty aura of the Hokage has shattered.
Uchiha clan territory, Naga Shrine.
Tonight is the clan gathering, and all the elites of the Uchiha clan have gathered here.
The atmosphere was already heavy.
The radical clansmen are cleaning their weapons and clamoring for a coup to seize power in Konoha.
The moderates, however, were deeply worried, fearing that their families would perish if war broke out.
Clan leader Uchiha Fugaku sat in the first seat.
He kept his eyes closed and his brows furrowed until the enormous sound pierced through the walls of the shrine.
"Chief! Look outside!"
A member of the tribe rushed in, his face filled with horror.
Fugaku opened his eyes, walked out of the shrine, and saw the sky above him.
I saw the figure fighting a bloody battle in the scene; it was Sasuke, his youngest son, who was only seven years old.
Sasuke lay in a pool of blood, his back charred black.
It was to protect Naruto from being injured by the explosive tags.
"Sasuke..."
Fugaku's hands began to tremble.
Immediately afterwards, he saw Danzo.
I heard Danzo say, "Not a single chicken or dog will be spared."
Fugaku's mind went blank. He had always wanted to avoid war and had been trying to restrain his clansmen.
He even considered that if the village could give the Uchiha a way out, he would even hand over the power of the security force.
But he was wrong, terribly wrong. The village never even considered giving them a way to survive.
From the very beginning, it was a dead end; Danzo wanted to kill them all.
The three generations tacitly approved.
They were like a flock of pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, still discussing how to negotiate with the butcher.
"Haha...hahaha..."
Fugaku suddenly laughed.
"Clan chief?"
Behind him, elite Jonin such as Yatsushiro, Tekka, and Inahisa looked at Fugaku.
Fugaku turned around and opened his eyes. The three tomoe instantly merged into one, transforming into a strange pattern.
Kaleidoscope Sharingan.
A terrifying pressure of chakra erupted from him, sweeping across the entire shrine plaza.
The entire tribe was stunned.
The clan leader has also awakened the legendary Eye?
"Did you see it clearly?"
Fugaku pointed to the scene in the sky.
"This is the village we serve, the Konoha we protect."
"They're going to kill us all, sparing neither the elderly nor children, even little kids like Sasuke!"
Fugaku drew his ninja sword from his waist and stared in a certain direction from the shopping street.
"Even from this distance, I can feel the ominous chakra emanating from there. The Nine-Tails' aura is resonating with the imagery on the sky!"
"The source is right there, in that newly opened shop on the corner of the commercial street, the Illusionary Dojo!"
"Roar!" Hundreds of Uchiha clansmen roared in unison.
"Since the village is heartless, don't blame us for being unjust!"
Fugaku's voice echoed through the night sky.
"Everyone, heed my command!"
"Target: that little shop on the corner of the shopping street!"
"Sasuke is there! Naruto is there! The truth is there!"
"Go protect them!"
"Anyone who dares to stop us will be killed without mercy!"
"Let's fight them! Since the village wants to kill us, we'll rebel!"
