Outside the Uchiha Clan Estate!
A crimson barrier stretched across the area, a creation that Danzo had ordered to be set up. He was dead serious about wiping out the Uchiha Clan, and he would never let a single one of them escape.
Standing beneath the barrier was an old man wearing a conical hat and a Godly Garment Robe—none other than the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Opposite him stood the heads of the major ninja clans within Konoha Village.
Every gaze directed at the Third Hokage, Sarutobi, was exceptionally cold.
Inoichi Yamanaka, his long blonde hair tied into a ponytail, looked up at the combat situation projected by the Konoha Barrier overhead. He quietly formed hand signs, utilizing a secret technique of the Yamanaka Clan to open a private communication channel with Shikaku Nara and Choji Akimichi right out in the open.
Inoichi Yamanaka: "I never imagined the Third and the others would go this far. Not only did they steal and plunder the Uchiha bloodline, but they even snatched the Wood Release of his teacher's clan. Their greed is truly too repulsive."
Choza Akimichi: "The Third and the others have always been this greedy. Did you really only figure that out today?"
Inoichi Yamanaka: "Should we continue to support the Third? With everything exposed today, the Third has completely trampled upon the reverse scales of the major ninja clans."
Shikaku Nara merely listened quietly, not immediately voicing his opinion.
He also wanted to cut ties with the Third and the others immediately, but doing so was not all that simple.
The interests of the Ino-Shika-Cho were bound together with the Third.
Aside from Konoha F4, the Second Hokage's guard unit also included Torifu Akimichi!
Because of Torifu Akimichi, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio were also considered insiders in Sarutobi's eyes,
