"What happened?"
Late at night, outside Uchiha Residential Area, Yuhara, who suddenly received a gathering order and came here, asked a ninja next to him.
He was sleeping soundly just now, but he didn't expect to be suddenly pulled out to perform a mission.
At this time, Yuhara rarely wore his ANBU mask on his face, which meant that he received ANBU orders, and the work he had to do next was also a shady "wet job".
The ANBU ninja next to Yuhara looked at the "Sword Crate" carried behind Yuhara, and then the ninja immediately said, "There are two ninjas investigating the disappearance of Uchiha. They accidentally entered Uchiha Clan Compound. After the ninjas of Uchiha discovered them, they mistakenly thought that they were the murderers who caused the disappearance... The Uchiha people were so excited that they wanted to kill the two ninjas directly."
Because he always carries a special ninja tool, Yuhara's identity is easy to identify. He, as an ANBU, really has no way to hide his identity. But because of this, other ANBU ninjas respect him somewhat. Yuhara's ANBU experience is also inspiring. After all, he left an "unforgettable legend" in the ANBU with his front foot, and left Nine-Tails to "fight alone" with his back foot.
Yuhara thought for a while, and then said, "The pressure from the village on Uchiha is a bit too great, which may cause them to be a little irrational, or even... hysterical."
People will become neurotic under heavy pressure, not to mention Uchiha has always been full of emotions.
The ANBU ninja didn't know why Yuhara could calmly analyze Uchiha Clan's mental state at this time. He just continued, "If Uchiha Clan refuses to hand over our two ninjas, or really kills them, then we will probably directly attack Uchiha and then completely solve this hidden danger."
Judging from his words, it seems that ANBU ninjas have generally lost patience with the Uchiha Clan.
Yuhara shook his head, "Who will give this order?"
Once Uchiha really kills Konoha Ninja, then Third Hokage can take over morality. This killing means Uchiha Clan's open rebellion against Konoha. After that, even if Third Hokage issues an order to raze Uchiha to the ground, no one can accuse him anymore.
However, would Third Hokage issue such an order? This is a bit too "killing and decisive".
But then Yuhara was suddenly startled, "Has Shimura Danzō returned to the village? Or is the person directing the ANBU operations at this time Orochimaru?"
Unfortunately, the ANBU ninja beside him could not answer Yuhara's question, because he did not know who was commanding the ANBU at this time. He could only be sure that the supreme commander was here.
One after another, more Konoha Ninja surrounded the residential area of Uchiha, but in the face of this pressure, Uchiha Clan remained indifferent.
So Konoha decided to put some more pressure on them.
"Anbu obey orders and raise fire."
Torches were lit one after another, and in a blink of an eye a ring of fire pierced the night, surrounding the entire Uchiha Residential Area.
Yuhara grinned silently, what is this called?
It should probably be called "open fire fighting".
The ANBU ninjas were silent, but what was illuminated by the flames and shrouded in the night was actually something... that was called a strong killing intent. The Konoha now is not the Konoha more than ten years later, Ninja World War has just ended, and the ninjas have not forgotten the taste of blood.
We won't really take action tonight, right? In this kind of solemn killing, Yuhara couldn't help but start muttering.
Fortunately, after a while, several people walked out of Uchiha Clan Compound.
The person in front is Uchiha Fugaku, the person following behind the patriarch is Uchiha Shisui, and behind are the two trapped Konoha Ninja... The faces of the four people are not very good-looking, but the two Konoha Ninja don't seem to be injured.
However, after seeing this scene, Yuhara knew that tonight could be fooled again... it would be no big deal.
After a handover, Uchiha Clan returned the two Konoha Ninja, and the ANBU ninjas began to slowly retreat... At dawn, it was as if everything had never happened.
But has the matter been resolved? Has the murderous intention been eliminated?
That night, Uchiha became quiet. Unfortunately, they paid a heavy price.
The next day, facing an unexpected situation in the village, "Crimson Crown" also held a small meeting. In the conference room, Yuhara was yawning and playing with some small object, while Kakashi was introducing what happened last night.
"... So this incident was an accident. The two ninjas had been underground for so long that they were a little disoriented, so after breaking into Uchiha Clan Compound, the Uchiha ninjas lost control. Three rational Uchiha ninjas were accidentally stabbed to death while protecting the two ninjas. The clan leader Uchiha Fugaku who arrived later was able to control the situation."
Kushina Uzumaki shook his head, "It's not an accident. As long as Konoha and Uchiha Clan maintain this tense state, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later."
This judgment can only be said to be correct. Although the conflict last night was accidental, it can be said that similar conflicts are bound to occur.
Last night's conflict also brought about a series of changes. First, the Konoha side withdrew the search mission for the missing Uchiha ninja. At this time, no one had anything to say about abandoning this mission. During this time, the Konoha side invested a lot of manpower in this task, but what was the result? The ninjas who participated in the investigation were almost killed by Uchiha.
The key is that it is not one Uchiha ninja who wants to harm them, but a group of Uchiha ninjas who want to kill them. In this case, who is willing to continue to perform this mission?
In addition, another change was that the 30 Uchiha ninjas reserved for Konoha and the new Konoha Military Police Force were suddenly filled up, and some Uchiha ninjas suddenly actively moved closer to Konoha. What happened that night made many Uchiha ninjas who usually don't speak out much feel that their own people are crazy... Why can they kill ninjas of the same race?
Since then, the Uchiha clan began to truly split into two forces, namely the Konoha faction and the anti-Konoha faction. Although the latter occupies the absolute mainstream voice in the clan, the former has really stood up.
After the murder case occurred, Konoha did not choose to intervene. The original Uchiha Konoha Military Police Force took over the case, and then a Uchiha ninja was sentenced to permanent imprisonment... This sentence was obviously problematic. Three people died in an instant. No matter how you think, there was only one person who took action at that time.
Even if one person kills three people, isn't this an inevitable death penalty? Why life imprisonment?
In short, due to this series of accidents, the disappearance of the Uchiha ninja went unsolved again. Although Uchiha Clan gradually divided into two factions, in general Konoha's view of the Uchiha Clan has worsened.
This group of people represented by Uchiha Shisui has indeed fallen into a situation where they are no longer human inside and out.
The newly established Konoha guard "Bright Division" is located not far from the Hokage office building. On this day, when Kakashi Hatake came here to work, he happened to meet Uchiha Shisui, and then he called out to him.
"Uchiha Shisui, Master Kushina asked me to tell you something...Konoha has no way to change Uchiha. The only one who can change Uchiha is Uchiha himself. The only one who can save Uchiha is Uchiha himself."
Uchiha Shisui lost three like-minded companions, which was a heavy blow to him, but he was not discouraged, nor did he change his mind... What he wanted to do was not to save some Uchiha, but to change all Uchiha. Therefore, when faced with such a tragedy, he was not carried away by anger, nor did he make any "killing" moves.
"I understand, thank you Mr. Kushina for the reminder."
Uchiha Shisui is determined, but what about the future of the Uchiha Clan?
Still out of reach.
