"Danzo, you have your eyes on Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan because you want to control the Nine-Tails jinchūriki, don't you!"
"You colluded with Orochimaru in the shadows, helping him conduct human experiments to obtain the First Hokage's cells to strengthen yourself, all so that your body could withstand the power of the Sharingan."
"Your goal is to control the Nine-Tails jinchūriki and become the new Hokage, right?"
Taking advantage of the fact that Kakashi hadn't made a move yet, Uchiha Tamaharu released electric currents from his feet to force back the swamp, while simultaneously shouting at the top of his lungs.
Everyone on the field was stunned the moment they heard this intelligence.
Clearly, this information was so unbelievable that even the Anbu forgot to strike immediately.
"The death of the Fourth Hokage also has something to do with you, doesn't it!"
"Sarutobi Hiruzen passed the position of Hokage to him, and you were very dissatisfied. On the night of the Nine-Tails Incident, Captain Fugaku clearly went over to help, but you led your men to intercept him."
"Instead of helping the Fourth Hokage, you went all out to block the Uchiha, not even bothering to provide rescue."
"At that time, Captain Fugaku already possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan. If he had intervened, the Nine-Tails Incident would never have reached such a tragic state."
"Danzo, what exactly is your relationship with that Uchiha!!"
Uchiha Tamaharu continued to shout his accusations.
The men of Root accelerated their hand movements, unleashing various ninjutsu.
However, these were mostly B-rank techniques; after all, ordinary Root members couldn't learn truly powerful moves.
Even more specialized ninjutsu could not escape the gaze of the Mangekyō, nor could they break through the defense of the Susanoo.
"Tamaharu, is what you're saying true!!!"
Kakashi waved his hand, directly stopping the Anbu who were preparing to attack.
His eyes were wide with fury.
Aside from Obito and Rin, Minato-sensei was the person he cared about most.
"We're in this situation now; there's no need for me to lie to you."
"If the Uchiha were truly going to rebel, Konoha would not be in its current state on the night of the Nine-Tails Incident!"
"Your father and the Sannin have all left Konoha, leading to a gap in the village's strength, which is why things are the way they are now—there is simply no one left who could stop Captain Fugaku and Shisui."
Uchiha Tamaharu had originally intended to say that his father's death also had something to do with that old schemer Danzo.
But he didn't want to harm Kakashi; if he knew too much, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo would definitely want him dead.
At the same time, he was saying these things to stall for time.
The portal to the Pirate world had already opened behind him, and it took three seconds to activate, which was why Uchiha Tamaharu was dragging things out.
By the way, stirring up the situation in Konoha and making them turn on each other would make Uchiha Tamaharu even happier.
"Danzo!!!"
Kakashi gritted his teeth.
He couldn't accept such a fact.
The surrounding Anbu were also at a loss.
They felt that this matter might actually be true, and many of them viewed the Fourth Hokage as their idol.
After all, Minato was a commoner by birth.
But now, knowing that the death of this Hokage actually had something to do with the Hokage's advisor, Danzo, made it very hard for them to accept!
"The Uchiha will not follow in the footsteps of the Senju clan and perish in the Shinobi World."
"Now that the Uchiha are leaving, the next will be the Hyuga."
"The next time the Uchiha return, it will be when Konoha village disappears from the Shinobi World!"
Uchiha Tamaharu didn't continue to linger.
Root's attacks were quite ruthless, focusing on one spot, and the Susanoo had already developed cracks.
After leaving these words behind, Uchiha Tamaharu carried the unconscious Shisui and slowly backed into the portal.
Meanwhile, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally rushed over in a hurry, his face looking extremely ugly.
Upon arriving, he only had time to see Uchiha Tamaharu, who was already half-inside the portal, looking at him with an icy expression.
At the same time, he used lip-reading to say to him: "Let me let you experience the ocular technique of the other Mangekyō as well!"
Having read the lip-reading, Sarutobi Hiruzen was instantly shaken to his core.
"Thunder Tribulation!"
Uchiha Tamaharu's Mangekyō eyes spun rapidly.
He locked his ocular power onto Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"BOOM!"
A deafening bolt of lightning fell directly from the sky, striking Sarutobi Hiruzen head-on.
Many people looked up and realized that, at some point, a massive cluster of cumulonimbus clouds had gathered in the sky.
It turned out that these cumulonimbus clouds had been accumulated by Konoha ninja using Water Style to extinguish the fires, primarily to counter Amaterasu and the raging inferno within the Uchiha compound.
"Lord Third!!"
The others on the field exclaimed in shock.
"Cough, cough!"
But they immediately breathed a sigh of relief as they saw Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly emerging from the ground nearby, coughing dryly.
The one struck by the lightning had merely been an Earth Clone.
"BOOM!"
However, another bolt of lightning descended immediately after.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen was aged, his hand-seal speed was not slow.
But the speed of the lightning was even faster!
This time, he was slightly caught in the blast, and his entire left foot was scorched.
"Nine times in total, take your time to experience it!"
Uchiha Tamaharu left these words behind, his eyes bleeding, before he vanished into the portal.
Following that, the Susanoo dissipated, and the portal slowly began to shrink.
The lightning from the sky continued to lock onto Sarutobi Hiruzen, striking down repeatedly.
The roaring lasted for about a minute before it finally ended.
Around him, seven or eight Anbu lay on the ground, their bodies charred black.
These were the ones who had sacrificed themselves to save Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Meanwhile, Sarutobi Hiruzen himself had his entire left foot turned pitch black, and a medical ninja nearby was using the Mystical Palm Technique with all their might, trying to save the leg.
If this Thunder Tribulation had been released directly, Sarutobi Hiruzen alone would have been enough to withstand it.
But this technique had room for expansion; combined with the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky, it could erupt with even greater power, which was the reason for Sarutobi Hiruzen's wretched state.
"Drip, drip, drip."
A light rain began to fall from the sky.
Kakashi looked up, bathing in the rain, feeling a sense of confusion about his life.
Was this the kind of place he had been living in all along?
"Truly, the evil Uchiha!"
"However, in this state, Sarutobi should be unable to continue serving as Hokage, right?"
Danzo had left the safe house after Uchiha Tamaharu departed.
At the same time, different thoughts began to stir in his heart.
He had indeed coveted the position of Hokage for a very long time.
This time, it seemed to be the perfect opportunity!
"The next one, is it the Hyuga?"
Hyuga Hiashi sat kneeling on a cushion, his expression flickering between light and shadow.
Although he hadn't left, he had his own men stationed outside.
No other clan had the convenience of the Hyuga clan when it came to long-range surveillance, so he easily learned of the final words Uchiha Tamaharu had left behind.
However, Konoha was currently filled with even more panic.
Although they hadn't deliberately targeted ordinary people, the two attacks by Fugaku Uchiha and Uchiha Tamaharu had still caused significant destruction.
In particular, Amaterasu had consumed a great deal of manpower, and it wasn't until they discovered that sealing techniques were effective against this inextinguishable flame that the situation was brought under control.
Uchiha Tamaharu's Divine Punishment had also caused considerable damage, though there was no lingering danger once the Wind Style had dispersed the clouds.
Regarding these matters, Uchiha Tamaharu felt no guilt in his heart!
Because the Uchiha clan had not bullied these ordinary people; they had simply acted with justice, yet they were met with hostility from these very people, which had completely shattered the Uchiha's final psychological defenses.
Were these the kind of people they were supposed to protect?
Therefore, Uchiha Tamaharu felt no psychological pressure regarding the collateral damage to ordinary people.
Since you all think we are the bad guys, then, we shall be the bad guys!
The news of the Uchiha defection spread throughout the entire Shinobi World in an instant, one week later.
Except for Kirigakure, the other three major villages were all searching for the Uchiha clan. They came with offers of recruitment, but more so, like Konoha, they wanted to swallow the Uchiha whole.
Yet, after searching for a full half-year, they hadn't found a single trace, which left many people deeply puzzled.
