Chapter 136 Chapter 136 Opposition and Doubt
Fugaku did not directly respond to the Sandai's question.
He glanced around and caught a glimpse of many familiar faces of the village's big families in the bustling crowd behind the Third Hokage.
"Oh, they're all here."
Fugaku scoffed.
One by one, they stood by and watched when the Uchiha clan was being bullied. When the village planned to exterminate the Uchiha clan, they ran out impatiently like cats smelling blood.
Are they, the Uchiha people, so unpopular?
As a family that founded the village, Fugaku found it quite ironic that they had ended up in this state.
"Declare war?"
Uchiha Fugaku felt a chill in his heart and shouted angrily:
"First, they took advantage of the Uchiha clan's regular meeting to stop me inside the clan. Nearly 90% of the clan's three-magatama elites are in danger of death at the shrine. Then, they set up a barrier that only allows entry and exit, besieging the Uchiha clan. Nearly a hundred ANBU are surrounding them outside..."
"As for those elites, judging by the situation, the third generation should have been cleared out, right?"
"I'd like to ask, are the higher-ups disgusted with us and want to destroy the Uchiha clan outright?"
There was a hint of resignation in his words.
"Oh, that's right, the Thousand Hands are gone, now it's our turn."
"Who's next? Is it the Hyuuga? Or any other clan that's standing in your way?"
Fugaku glanced around with a look like a lamb to be slaughtered, causing the surrounding family ninjas to frown.
The top leaders directly attacked the families belonging to the village, which was absolutely taboo in Konoha, where there were many families.
Fugaku's words were filled with malicious speculation. Whether his original intention was to plant mines in the village before his death, or to drag other families in the village into the water to disrupt the situation and gain a glimmer of hope, it ultimately touched the sensitive points of some people present.
After all, the intelligence they received was that the Uchiha had rebelled, but looking at the current situation, it was completely inconsistent with the intelligence they received from the top.
It would be more appropriate to say that they were surrounded and suppressed...
Even a clan as powerful as the Uchiha clan has fallen to this point. The Senju clan has indeed completely lost its presence in recent years. Apart from Tsunade who appears in public, there is no other news about them.
This is horrible…
If the big ninja clans can disappear silently, who knows if these small ninja clans will disappear silently?
"It's obvious that you are directing and acting in this drama!" With the destruction of Uchiha imminent, Shimura Danzo doesn't have the patience to argue with them.
He snorted coldly, walked out from the darkness, and said loudly:
"This is just a trick by the Uchiha to divert everyone's attention! They intend to disrupt the harmony among the members of Konoha and destroy our hard-earned peace!"
"Teacher is right, the Uchiha are an evil clan!"
Before Danzo took action, he did not forget to throw dirty water on Uchiha.
As for whether others believe it or not?
I have already given the explanation, what else do they want?
Under his command, dozens of Root ninjas quickly circled around and completely blocked the Uchiha's retreat route.
Those Root Ninjas didn't care whether they attacked their own people or not. They were more like ruthless machines, with cold eyes, looking at the Uchiha people as if they were corpses.
The Uchiha ninjas also drew out their own ninja tools, and the two sides were on the verge of a fight, as if they were about to fight each other to the death in the next moment.
The ninjas brought by the third generation frowned slightly. Although they also made attacking postures, most of them did not move their feet. Compared with the root ninjas, they were really just a group of people who created an atmosphere.
But before the two sides could really fight, a strong wind blew over, and it turned out that a third-party attack reached the battlefield first.
Danzo felt his hair stand on end and he used the instant body movement technique to retreat instantly.
"boom!"
A slash instantly covered the place where Danzo was originally standing, cutting the ground into an abyss several meters wide like a sinkhole.
Everyone present was on edge, cold sweat dripping down their face subconsciously.
Anyone else?
At this moment, everyone suddenly remembered the attack that had just broken through the air and destroyed the barrier, and the two giants they saw in the village.
Everyone looked in the direction of the attack and saw the tall Susanoo stepping towards them, with a monstrous chakra aura surging towards them, carrying a momentum that seemed to destroy the world.
Uchiha Feng didn't expect that just when he brought the remaining few people out of the shrine, Uchiha would suffer such slander.
He swung his knife again without hesitation and then quickly rushed towards the clan's territory.
A distance of several kilometers is just a few steps for a giant who is fifty meters tall.
As the giant approached rapidly, the black and red Susanoo appeared completely before everyone's eyes, and the shadow of death instantly enveloped the world.
"What is that..."
Some ninjas murmured in disbelief.
They saw the Uchiha style on Susanoo's head and the obvious Uchiha clan robes on his body.
Is this also the ability of Uchiha?
The shock of an ant facing a god spread throughout everyone's hearts, and they subconsciously felt a bit like retreating.
Anyway, this is a dirty matter between the top leaders and the Uchiha. They don't want to get involved in such incidents as long as it does not affect the safety of other people in the village.
Hiruzen's pupils constricted, and his voice was filled with disbelief: "Complete form of Susanoo?"
He had only seen this form in Uchiha Madara in his memory!
When did another "Madara" appear in Uchiha?
How much secrets have they hidden?!
Trouble...
Danzo had just escaped death, but when facing the giant right in front of him, he said nothing, retreated back into the crowd, and stood next to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"An evil clan? Directing and acting in their own drama?"
"I don't know when this old man directed and performed this act himself, using the lives of more than forty of our Uchiha core elites!"
The sound of the wind came down from on high.
Susanoo's hand slowly lowered, and the three remaining Uchiha elites in his palm were slowly put down. Their bodies were covered with scars, and each of them was seriously injured.
Apart from the dozen or so Uchiha who were killed by Shisui, there was a huge difference in numbers of nearly one to three. In the end, the Uchiha won a tragic victory with only three seriously injured ninjas left.
The Uchiha's reputation is not earned by words.
“Chief!!!” Before they had even landed on the ground, shrill cries could be heard: “Dead, all dead…”
Fugaku staggered upon hearing this, and his mind even went blank for a moment.
At this moment, he actually had the illusion that everything was settled...
"Chief! You must avenge your people!!"
“Chief!!!”
Fugaku's mind was in a mess.
This is really over...
Dozens of elite jonin just disappeared like that?
Danzo's face also turned pale in an instant.
If these people can come back, doesn't it mean that the nearly 100 elites he sent out are all gone?
“That’s enough!”
Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind raced. Judging from Fugaku's reaction, he probably really didn't know what the barrier was.
The situation at the border is becoming increasingly volatile. At this time, it is best not to suffer too many casualties.
Especially when the other side has an absolutely strong man, even if he has the confidence to kill Uchiha Feng in a one-for-one fight, the village will definitely suffer heavy losses!
And Feng is not a radical, right?
As long as we can shift the blame to the radicals and provide them with sufficient evidence that they cannot refute, there might still be room for recovery...
Feeling the questioning glances from the other ninjas around him, Sarutobi Hiruzen secretly thought that something was wrong, but he remained expressionless and interrupted, "There may be some misunderstanding here."
"Clan leader Fugaku, I guess you don't want any unnecessary sacrifices, right?" Sarutobi Hiruzen set his gaze on Fugaku.
After dealing with him for more than ten years, he knew too much about Fugaku. Beneath his seemingly serious and cold appearance, he had a wavering heart that was good at adapting to the situation.
With all his elite ninjas gone, he would never risk his own death by continuing this rebellion that hadn't even started.
But before Fugaku could speak, Feng interrupted him.
"Okay." Uchiha Feng sneered: "I want to hear if there is any misunderstanding..."
Even as he said this, the aura emanating from Susanoo became even more sinister. He raised the lightning blade in his hand slightly, covering all the ninjas of the Third Generation within the attack range.
The crack created by the previous attack is still in front of him, and now it is ready to strike.
A complete deterrent.
It seems that if this reason cannot satisfy him, what will come in the next second is Feng's crazy revenge at all costs.
Fugaku calmed down at this moment. He glanced at the Seventh Elder, whom he had never seen through, and silently accepted the choice made by Feng.
With the two kaleidoscopes of himself and Feng, is it really possible to continue with that plan?
Will the wind really obey my orders?
He has already retreated a little.
Should I stop loss in time?
Sarutobi Hiruzen has explained the mystery of the disappearance of the Senju.
"The Senju didn't disappear. They just hid their surnames and lived with other civilians or family ninjas in the village. They were completely integrated into Konoha."
Hiruzen sighed, "This is also the example set by the Senju in carrying out the will of fire."
"The Senju family name has disappeared, but the companions with the Senju bloodline have never left. Perhaps some of the civilian ninjas present here possess the Senju bloodline and may awaken at any time."
"Moreover, Konoha already has a descendant who has awakened the Senju bloodline." Sarutobi Hiruzen's words caused a commotion among the people around him.
"The bloodline is precious, so we have never made it public, but..."
"Tenzo, come out." Let the Uchiha know first that they also have a trump card...
A young man wearing ANBU clothing and a cat-faced mask flashed in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen. He bowed slightly, then stood still and formed seals with his hands.
"Wooden Escape-Wooden Spindle Wall"
Branches grew out of his arms, tangling and intertwining wildly, forming a thick wooden wall in front of Yamato.
"It's Wood Release!!"
“Oh my God!”
"Could it be possible that we might also possess the bloodline of the Thousand Hands?"
The shock of the appearance of Wood Release was so great that everyone temporarily forgot the fear brought by the wind. Even the big families who knew something about it became a little suspicious, wondering if they had been too conspiratorial and had wrongly accused the top leaders.
This is Wood Release! The first generation used Wood Release to kill the Shura of the Ninja World, Uchiha Madara. Will their village be home to another strong man like Hashirama?
Listening to the shouts and discussions of the surrounding ninjas, a gleam of light flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.
No matter what the real situation is, as long as the civilian ninjas, who are the largest in number, believe it, it's fine.
As for Uchiha? What Uchiha? In the face of personal interests, who would still remember the doubts raised by Uchiha just now?
First, give an explanation, then praise, and finally provide strong evidence. With an extreme push, the doubts raised by the Uchiha are directly erased. All that is left is "self-reflection" and a slight rebuttal with evidence, and then all the previous suspicions against them will be turned around...
If the Uchiha continued to "verbally slander" without evidence, it would definitely make the "majority" think they were making a big deal out of nothing, being sensitive and irritable, and thus creating more prejudice...
Decades of high-level experience have made Sarutobi Hiruzen adept at manipulating people's minds.
Moreover, Feng's current ability did make him wary...
If we can make them suspicious of each other, then it would be best to use this opportunity to eliminate them...
"As for those Uchiha elites..." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, a hint of worry on his face: "Shisui did give me some feedback on this matter."
"He recently told me that some Uchiha people seem to have other bad ideas..."
"What a bad idea! You're quite good at covering up the truth." Danzo, with a murderous look on his face, interrupted with a cold snort.
The tacit understanding they had built over the years made him subconsciously cooperate with Hiruzen and play the bad guy.
The loss of nearly a hundred Root Ninjas was almost like taking away half his life! There was no time to recover the three magatama!
Do you want him to come up empty-handed? Impossible!
I have to think of a way to make the Uchiha mess up themselves...
