Chapter 141 Chapter 141 Choice

At the same time, Ali had also received the news.

She turned her head and looked deeply at Uchiha Fugaku and Itachi, then left without lingering.

This glance not only made the person's heart skip a beat, but also made everyone in Konoha change their expressions.

The conservative Uchiha clan quietly followed Ali out, but at some point, some hawkish members also quietly followed.

Some of the dovish Uchiha wanted to say something to remind them, but were quietly stopped by the people around them.

"Don't want to live anymore!"

Do you really think the clan leader and the people from Konoha are all blind?

Ali didn't look back, but Uchiha Xiangchen and Youxi, who had noticed something, glanced back at them, then turned back without any reaction, allowing them to quietly blend in behind him.

The people of Konoha did notice it, but they just watched.

But this time, no one could jump out to stop her.

Time is too tight, and the information about Ali also needs to be updated. In the absence of any information, rashly confronting such a strong man will inevitably cause a lot of unnecessary losses.

Sarutobi Hiruzen watched the backs of Ali and the others as they walked away, and quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind.

At this moment, an Anbu suddenly appeared and half-knelt in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen:

"Hokage-sama."

"In the Uchiha shelter, all ordinary people associated with the conservative faction have disappeared. Now most of the people in the shelter are the families of the dovish members, as well as some ordinary people who don't have ninja in their families."

"According to their feedback, the conservatives claimed that it was too dangerous to remain in the village and persuaded many people to leave. However, after seeing the remaining people on guard, they left without stopping."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned upon hearing this and spoke subconsciously: "What about the barrier team? The barrier team didn't react at all? How did they leave?"

"The barrier team didn't notice anything unusual."

Hearing this, Sarutobi felt a little depressed.

It seems that Ali is behind this again. The barrier that previously enveloped the Uchiha might have been staged by the conservatives, just to give Ali time to rescue those ordinary people and attract their attention so that they don't have the time to pay attention to the situation of those ordinary people.

No wonder Ali didn't rush to them until Uchiha Feng was about to collapse.

They have to find a way to contact the other four major ninja villages in the near future. Ali's existence is a huge threat to the entire world, and it is indeed a bit difficult for their village to deal with it alone.

For this kind of uncontrolled monster, their inherent policy is to kill it in a cage in advance.

This time when she left, she was followed by thousands of ordinary people, and they must have a lot of needs in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, so it was difficult to hide their whereabouts. As long as they showed up in the ninja world, they would definitely be able to find their traces.

Besides, there were still nails in there that he had inserted earlier...

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes moved back slightly, looking at Might Guy who was surrounded by people with concern, a trace of thought flashed across his eyes.

Pure physical skills should be able to cause some damage to Ali, but as a pure physical skills ninja, Akai still has too many flaws and his methods are too single. Once his strengths are broken, it will be difficult for him to show his strength in other aspects.

Although the Death Gate has been forcibly closed, the degree of draining of body energy during the period before it was open is still very serious. I am afraid I will need to rest for a long time.

Fortunately, Tsunade will be back soon, so he asked her to help him see if there is any way to recover as soon as possible, as he will be needed to deal with Ali later.

Moreover, Uchiha is still guarded by two Kage-level people. He must recover as soon as possible, otherwise the power of the Hokage in the village will find it difficult to form an absolute suppression on Uchiha even if Jiraiya returns to the village.

Sarutobi Hiruzen collected the thoughts that were racing through his mind and glanced at Uchiha Fugaku.

Despite his small stature, Shinobi's aura was unreserved, and the consideration and suspicion in his eyes made Fugaku's heart tighten.

The Uchiha suffered heavy losses this time. Almost all of their top elites died, and the number of clan members shrank by 40% in an instant. But this was a big blow not only to the Uchiha, but to the entire Konoha.

It is not just a matter of loss of life, but more importantly a loss of reputation, which is likely to make the already coveted border even more chaotic.

Sarutobi Hiruzen remained serious as he began to direct the evacuation of those present: "I hurriedly called everyone out today to thank you for your contributions to Konoha."

"Tomorrow the village will hold a high-level meeting regarding this matter. They will review the incidents of the Uchiha faction defecting and Ali's abduction of the village's bloodline families to defect, and discuss countermeasures."

"It's getting late. Everyone, go back and get some rest. Tomorrow morning, all the jonin will gather in the village meeting room."

"yes!"

Seeing everyone respond and gradually disperse, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his head and looked at Uchiha Fugaku, whose face was ashen and he didn't know what he was thinking. His eyes slowly narrowed:

"Patriarch Fugaku, I believe you should be able to give a reasonable explanation for this matter tomorrow..."

Hearing this, Fugaku actually breathed a sigh of relief.

They should still have room to maneuver.

On the other side, Danzo Shimura rolled his eyes, covered his shoulder where his right arm was missing, looked at Itachi Uchiha who was not sociable among the Uchiha opposite, thought for a moment, and gestured slightly to his subordinates.

Then he left with a furious look on his face.

We still have to perform where we have to perform.

Others may not know, but he knows that he is the one who suffered the most losses tonight.

Because he was worried that the Uchiha on the other side would find out, he never dared to use any of the power brought by the Sharingan and Wood Release.

But he didn't expect that the arm he had carefully planned for so long would be crippled before it even started to exert force. He didn't even have time to activate Izanagi!

The most serious situation was that his plot to seize the village's bloodline was exposed by Ali, and Hiruzen took this opportunity to remove his actual control of the Root. He was ordered to recuperate at home and await the investigation and judgment of the Anbu...

Not being able to participate in government affairs also meant that he had lost the power to transfer personnel...

As for sentencing... heh...

Danzo sneered.

As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen needs someone to help him bear the darkness, the worst punishment he will suffer in the end is just "imprisonment".

He was not afraid of this kind of minor punishment.

As long as the Seal of the Tongue is still there, it makes no difference whether the Root is disbanded or joins the Anbu. In the end, they will only obey my orders.

The subordinates who were just secretly sent to Minamigagawa Shrine to investigate the situation have returned, but what they brought back was not good news.

The shrine had been burned down, and along with it, more than 40 three-magatama Uchiha elites and nearly a hundred Root ninjas were reduced to ashes...

He must find a way to make up for this loss.

At least the Sharingan on his new arm was gone, and he could no longer rely on it. The elites had all turned to ashes. Of the three Hawks rescued by Feng, two had already quietly followed the conservatives and fled. The only ones he could target were the Uchiha elites who had narrowly escaped death today.

The remaining five or so close ninjas directly under the Uchiha clan leader...

Almost six pairs of triple-magatama Sharingan are barely enough to make an arm.

In this case, there is no need for the Uchiha to exist anymore.

However, even if most of the remaining ninjas of the dove faction are of mediocre quality, their remaining numbers are still considerable. The Root has already lost most of its troops, and he does not want to use his remaining forces to fight against them.

And Itachi, who inherited Shisui's will, is the best candidate.

In the middle of the night, Danzo Shimura was sitting cross-legged in the reception room of the Shimura clan, breathing evenly, as if he was dozing with his eyes closed.

As the door creaked open, Danzo Shimura opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed across his exposed left eye.

"You're here."

Uchiha Itachi held a kunai in his hand, hatred flashing in his eyes: "Don't you have anything to explain, Danzo!"

"Explain?" Danzo sneered.

"Why, wasn't Hiruzen's explanation enough?"

Without waiting for Itachi's response, Danzo stood up and met Uchiha Itachi's eyes: "You don't think that today's incident will just be over, do you?"

"The entire conservative faction has defected, along with thousands of their families. There must be some Uchiha backdoor somewhere in Konoha's barrier, right? Or perhaps that backdoor has been there since the Uchiha village was first established, allowing you to exit Konoha at any time?"

Itachi frowned: "Don't spit blood at us. Since they choose to stay here, it proves that they have no second thoughts about the village."

Danzo said nothing: "Haha, who knows?"

"You don't think Hiruzen will still believe you, do you?"

Itachi's expression had fallen.

"Given the precedent set by the conservatives, what makes you think we will continue to trust you Uchiha?"

"Who knows if this is a cover-up, a deliberate act of hostility, to send some Uchiha out of the village in order to preserve the flame?"

Danzo continued expressionlessly, "I will now give you two choices. You can do it yourself and carry out the Uchiha clan extermination plan to eliminate the Uchiha in the village. The higher-ups can spare Uchiha Sasuke's life and allow him to continue to live peacefully among his grandchildren and grow up in peace."

"Or, after tonight, there will no longer be an Uchiha clan in Konoha."

"The Anbu and the Root are still surrounding the Uchiha clan. If you want to resist, just come and try."

Itachi suddenly raised his head, with murderous intent in his eyes

Danzo ignored it directly. He really thought that the murderous intention of this little brat could frighten him.

"Choose"
