Time Blade (Seeking Subscription)

Perhaps because winter had already arrived, night fell especially early.

The night was like a song, and the Shimura Clan compound lay in utter silence.

Ever since Shimura Danzō's unauthorized experiments had been exposed and he had been slain by Uchiha Kei, the nights here had become exceptionally deserted.

Once night fell, the clan members living here no longer walked outside, and the place was as quiet as a land of the dead.

Yet tonight, an unusual liveliness filled the Clan Head's residence.

The Shimura Clan Head was drinking there with Utatane, Mitokado, and the heads of the other clans who followed them.

They could not help but be pleased, because Sarutobi Hiruzen had agreed to their plan!

Although they also knew that Uchiha Kei would not be easy to kill, and that Uchiha Shisui alone could never accomplish it all.

But they had help. That group of Rogue Ninja was anything but ordinary, and every one of them was difficult to deal with.

With them joining forces with Uchiha Shisui in an assault, neither Uchiha Kei nor Uchiha Fugaku could possibly survive!

The only thing that somewhat disappointed them was that Sarutobi Kento had not come. That guy seemed to have been summoned away by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Moreover, that guy apparently did not approve of their plan either, because once it was put into action and fighting truly broke out, it would hardly be a good thing for Konoha!

But they did not care. If they did not strike back now, they would truly be tossed into history's trash heap.

Uchiha Fugaku's speech at the Jonin meeting had clearly shown that he had no intention of letting them off.

Once those departments were investigated, and once Root released its roster, they would immediately lose a large number of positions
