Reactions from All Sides, Uchiha Strongest Fighter Battle

Just as a great battle was about to begin.

At the Hokage Building, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was using the Telescope Jutsu to spy on the conflict unfolding within the Uchiha compound.

The Crystal Ball showed Uchiha Gen and Uchiha Itachi facing off against each other.

He had previously received a report from the Barrier Team, informing him that Uchiha Gen, who had been missing for nearly a year, had returned and illegally triggered Konoha's Perception Barrier.

So he had sent Uchiha Itachi to handle the matter, to ask about what the other had experienced during that time and demand an explanation for his violation.

He had originally thought it was only a minor matter.

He was merely an Uchiha Chunin who had not awakened his Sharingan. Even if he had grown over the past year, with Uchiha Itachi, one of their own, handling it, it should have been an easy matter. It would not further aggravate the conflict between the village and the Uchiha clan.

Yet in such a short time, the situation had changed drastically.

Uchiha Itachi and the newly returned Uchiha Gen had actually come into conflict.

The immense Chakra erupting from the distant Uchiha compound was enough to make one think a Tailed Beast had appeared.

"Hiruzen, the Uchiha clan is trying to rebel. We should strike them now!"

At that moment, the office doors were violently pushed open.

Bang!

A man with a grim aura, bandages wrapped around his hands and head, strode in at a rapid pace.

This man was none other than Konoha Elder Danzo, leader of Root.

Besides him, the other two elder advisors, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, followed close behind into the Hokage's office. Both stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen with killing intent blazing in their eyes.

Mitokado Homura spoke.
