A Shocking Upheaval from Konoha
Thank you.
Orochimaru's face still showed signs of lingering anger.
In this world, there is nothing more terrifying and infuriating than having one's biggest secret discovered, which also involves the life-or-death matter he fears most.
The only person who possesses the Heavenly Cursed Seal
He was also a ninja who was still willing to place some human emotions in Konoha.
"Lord Shirou, isn't this a bit dangerous?"
Deva Path Pain had no choice but to remind Shirou Emiya.
"It's not really dangerous."
Shirou Emiya didn't find his plan to go to Konoha troublesome, nor was he worried about encountering danger, especially since he had Zetsu by his side.
To be honest
Shirou Emiya could even enter Konoha openly and legitimately.
The current Konoha can't do anything to him, and for Shirou Emiya, this is an excellent opportunity.
This era will likely see a significant number of requests, as the two true protagonists of the ninja story have already appeared.
At the same time.
There are also enough people who can activate the system.
Based on Shirou Emiya's understanding of the system, the requests it sends out usually follow some famous ninjas. When he was resurrected and traveled the Shinobi World last time, he encountered many ninjas with decent strength, but none of them triggered any requests.
Outside of the Akatsuki Base.
Shirou Emiya and Zetsu embarked on their journey.
"If we go to Konoha— "
"This will conveniently get rid of Obito's troubles."
Black Zetsu's sinister voice reminded Emiya Tsuchihara of a lingering question, "Obito Uchiha was one of Madara's men, and he's been staying in Konoha recently—."
"Actually, Obito isn't that troublesome."
White Zetsu quite agree with Black Zetsu's opinion, and at this moment spoke well of Obito Uchiha: "That Obito guy is just a bit impulsive, he probably won't go against Lord Shirou's wishes. He's always considered himself Madara's successor, so he's become a bit arrogant like Madara."
"Like freckles?"
Shirou Emiya seemed to be somewhat curious about Obito Uchiha, who was still working diligently in Konoha, but his Rinnegan concealed all his emotions.
"He's not like Madara at all—"
Black Zetsu saw right through Obito Uchiha's mind. "Heh heh heh, Madara's will is even stronger than his own. He's just—"
He's just a pawn!
This is definitely something that's inconvenient to say aloud.
Madara Uchiha was indeed arrogant, even somewhat disdainful of others, but he was not a brainless fool; Obito Uchiha's arrogance was somewhat arrogant and foolish. After inheriting Madara's will, he thought he was the savior!
Pity·
In the past, Black Zetsu wouldn't have minded his foolishness.
However, when the true savior Shirou Emiya, appeared, Obito Uchiha's existence inevitably became somewhat of an eyesore.
"Something terrible has happened to Obito!"
A White Zetsu Clone emerged from beneath their feet, its face still showing disbelief as it spoke the news it had personally brought back!
"Is Obito dead?"
Black Zetsu's voice, though tinged with surprise, also held a hint of relief.
If Obito Uchiha had just died, there would have been no need to worry about him disrespecting Shirou Emiya.
"Huh?"
The White Zetsu Clone quickly shook his head and explained, "No, something happened in Konoha. Obito Uchiha and a guy named Itachi Uchiha slaughtered everyone in their Uchiha Clan, leaving only a seven or eight-year-old child!"
"???"
Shirou Emiya's eyes flashed.
Why did they massacre the Uchiha Clan?
The White Zetsu itself was very confused about this matter.
Even the White Zetsu Clone was extremely confused by this matter.
If Obito Uchiha had slaughtered the Uchiha Clan, it would have been somewhat understandable, since they all knew he needed spare Sharingan as a price to perform a life-saving technique. The fact that the Obito Uchiha Uchiha helped him was truly baffling to White Zetsu, especially since White Zetsu's intelligence was already questionable; even if his brain were fried, he couldn't comprehend it...
Where are they?
The White Zetsu in its true form immediately inquired about their whereabouts.
"When I arrived, I was still in Konoha— "
The White Zetsu Clone scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "But I told Obito that Lord Shirou has been resurrected, so he should be coming back soon, right?"
"Go see them."
Shirou Emiya tapped his arm with his fingers.
"This is a really big event!"
Black Zetsu's voice was filled with endless emotion. It recalled the first time it met Shirou Emiya, when Shigenori attempted to assassinate Indra.
The Uchiha Clan are descendants of Indra.
Same.
This is also a clan that Black Zetsu has been keeping a close eye on.
Because Kaguya's resurrection requires the Rinnegan, and the only hope for the Rinnegan to appear lies with the Uchiha Clan, it did not anticipate that this branch of Indra's descendants would perish, forcing it to make a firm decision.
No matter what, the plan to revive Kaguya cannot fail again, because the extinction of the Uchiha Clan may mean that the Rinnegan will never be born again.
Just then.
Shirou Emiya seems to share the same thoughts as Black Zetsu.
Shirou Emiya looked up at the moon in the sky, his voice like that of a gambler with no way out. "Black Zetsu, if the Uchiha Clan is really wiped out, Madara may be the last pair of Rinnegan in this world. Our plan cannot fail again."
"It won't fail."
Black Zetsu quickly tried to persuade Shirou Emiya.
Black Zetsu felt a deep sense of melancholy, but he had to first try to comfort Shirou Emiya.
Black Zetsu earnestly tried to find a reason to boost Shirou Emiya's confidence. "Besides, there are still people from the Uchiha Clan alive. Didn't they say that a child survived?"
The Land of Fire.
The sky seemed to be filled with a blood moon.
In a forest outside Konoha Village.
A mysterious masked man stood on a tree in the forest, quietly waiting for Itachi Uchiha, the man he had just recruited.
The Mysterious Masked Man had always wanted to recruit Itachi Uchiha, a powerful and Mangekyo Sharingan, into the Akatsuki, but Itachi had consistently refused his offers.
However, something unexpected happened tonight.
The fact that Uchiha inexplicably offered to help him massacre the Uchiha Clan surprised the Mysterious Masked Man, but he still believed that this matter would be beneficial to him, so he immediately agreed and even participated in it.
Um.
A very fruitful harvest.
The Mysterious Masked Man was very satisfied with his gains; he had acquired many spare Sharingan that night.
These Sharingan can be used to enable him to use a powerful technique.
This is good news.
Unfortunately...
There's another piece of bad news.
It is said that Orochimaru resurrected Shirou Emiya using the Impure World Reincarnation and sent him to visit Shirou Emiya, making it clear that he was Shirou Emiya's subordinate.
This news made him feel vaguely uneasy.
How did an old relic that had long since died come back to life?!
The Mysterious Masked Man knew in his heart that he could never compare to Shirou Emiya in any aspect, but he still hoped to control Infinite Tsukuyomi's Eye of the Moon Plan to cast Infinite Tsukuyomi, even if Madara was resurrected. He wanted to create a new world with his own hands!
This absurd and false world.
Just as the Mysterious Masked Man was pondering how to continue controlling the Eye of the Moon Plan after Shirou Emiya's appearance, some strange movements occurred in the forest.
Whoosh!
A figure landed beside the Mysterious Masked Man. This figure was dressed in a smart Anbu uniform, still stained with a strong smell of blood, and his voice seemed to be trying to hide a sense of calm.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
"It wasn't that long."
The Mysterious Masked Man's voice, though forcedly calm and arrogant, coldly said, "Take care of the tail following you."
"Resolved."
Uchiha didn't say much about how he dealt with the other party.
"Come with me."
The Mysterious Masked Man nodded and said in a deep voice, "I originally invited you to join my organization to offer you a new path, but I just received news that there might be some changes within my organization—"
"Change?"
Itachi Uchiha's eyes sharpened.
"Good."
The Mysterious Masked Man looked up at the sky, a complex expression flickering from the hole in his mask that revealed a scarlet Sharingan: "Now let me truly introduce my organization to you. Soon, we'll have a real big shot joining us—"
"An important person?"
Itachi Uchiha's eyes narrowed as well.
The Mysterious Masked Man man who always called himself Madara Uchiha in front of him was someone that Itachi Uchiha had once doubted about.
However, the entire Shinobi World knows that Madara Uchiha did not die in the battle against the First Hokage. After assisting Shirou Emiya in quelling the First Shinobi World War, he has been hiding in a corner of the Shinobi World. He only has one intact Sharingan. The Mysterious Masked Man can only use one eye, which makes Itachi Uchiha want to dispel his suspicions.
Now·
This man named Madara Uchiha actually calls other people "big shots"?
Is there anyone in the Shinobi World with a higher status than him?
Konoha Village.
The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, looked at his pipe with a hint of melancholy.
As the longest-serving Hokage in Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen has experienced many things. He lived through the most glorious era of Miyō First Hokage and the most difficult era of Miyō Second Hokage, gradually working his way up to where he is today.
Now·
Sarutobi Hiruzen is already an old man.
As he grew older, his former weakness of being too soft-hearted inevitably began to amplify, leading him to tolerate and indulge the conflicts within Konoha and the Uchiha Clan, ultimately resulting in the tragedy of the Uchiha Clan's annihilation tonight.
Although-
Since the founding of Konoha, the conflict between the Uchiha and the Konoha High Command has come to a complete end tonight with the annihilation of the Uchiha Clan. This conflict, which could have triggered a crisis at any time, is now over. However, it is still a huge loss for Konoha.
Hunter Flying Man 4
Regarding his identity, the other party consistently identified himself as Madara Uchiha.
Is it possible?
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but recall the scene where he had met Madara Uchiha in the past. He knew this was possible because Madara Uchiha and Shirou Emiya had crossed paths.
Now·
We can only hope for Itachi Uchiha.
Before leaving, Uchiha Sasuke Uchiha, the only remaining member of the Uchiha Clan, to him, saying that he would join Madara Uchiha's organization as a missing-nin ninja and would try to gather information about the organization.
"Sandaime-sama."
"The bodies of the Uchiha Clan have all been disposed of."
A silver-haired Anbu stood beside Sarutobi Hiruzen, quietly reporting their mission and other details, "However, the whereabouts of the Uchiha Clan inside the Miyō Konoha Military Police Force building are unknown."
It is impossible to determine whether their bodies were disposed of.
Ignore it.
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to worry about those things, and he really didn't have the energy to worry about so much. "Although I just dismissed Danzo from his post, Danzo should have had his Anbu training class clean up the mess beforehand."
After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen brought up another matter. "Danzo no longer holds any position, and the Anbu training program he previously established has been disbanded. Let's disperse the people from there and place them into the Anbu..."
"Yes."
The Anbu Ninja lowered his head and agreed.
The Anbu training program, also known as Root Root within the Anbu, enjoys the same treatment as Anbu Ninja. It is an armed force belonging only to Shimura Danzo and even refuses to obey orders from the Hokage.
"Kakashi."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply. He recalled the Mysterious Masked Man and vaguely felt that he couldn't control the future. He gently instructed the silver-haired Anbu Ninja beside him, "The burden of the village's future will ultimately fall on your shoulders, young people. A storm is brewing in the Shinobi World, a storm that may even destroy Konoha. You must work even harder in the future—"
The Anbu Ninja simply lowered his head and remained silent.
This Anbu Ninja is none other than Kakashi Hatake, the son of Hatake Sakumo.
Ever since Kakashi Hatake's father died when he was young, he has remained withdrawn. He encountered comrades he could rely on, but they all perished one after another. Even his kind teachers Fourth Hokage and his wife Minato Namikaze, died in the Nine Tails Riot.
To be honest...
Kakashi Hatake believed that there was no point in him living.
Because he seems to be constantly living a life of suffering, and he has never seen any hope for his future, even if he were to diligently cultivate himself, he would not feel that it would be of any use.
It doesn't matter if I'm weak or die.
At least they don't have to endure endless loneliness and pain like a scarecrow in the field.
"Kakashi, don't waste the Storm Release Bloodline Limit within you."
On the night of the Uchiha Clan's annihilation, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, valued the power of bloodline limits more than ever before; he did not want to see another bloodline limit perish in Miyō.
"The Storm Release Bloodline was taught to your father by a great man."
"I hope you can pull yourself together a little, regain your former glory, and not let the traces left by that great man be tarnished."
