Are Uchiha Clan members not human?

"Lightning Seal!"

Uchiha Tamaharu did not hesitate, directly placing his hand on the neck of Itachi and leaving a seal there.

This seal could absorb the chakra within Itachi into the seal itself; if anyone attempted to remove it without authorization, it would detonate that chakra, creating a powerful electric current that would pierce through the body of the person sealed.

Itachi's expression was one of discomfort; after all, his chakra's circulation path had been abruptly altered, and the loss of physical strength made him feel quite unwell.

"Is this enough now!"

Shisui felt a pang of heartache for his good friend.

He had originally intended for Itachi to help him cover the retreat of the Uchiha clan.

He had not expected Uchiha Tamaharu to forcibly demand that Itachi be sealed.

"There is one more thing, this is the last."

"Genjutsu: Sharingan!"

Uchiha Tamaharu said.

At the same time, he used the genjutsu directly on Itachi to convey a message to him.

Shisui was startled, but he felt that if Uchiha Tamaharu truly wanted to kill Itachi, there would be no need to do this.

In less than five seconds, Itachi woke up.

A look of shock appeared on his face.

It turned out that Uchiha Tamaharu had just used the genjutsu to inform Itachi of the upcoming plan.

Itachi was stunned by the astonishing realization that Uchiha Tamaharu was actually planning to take the clansmen to another world.

"I will place you at a prepared stronghold in the other world. Although there is no chakra there, your abilities are sufficient to survive there relying on taijutsu."

"The plan will proceed in three days, and the Uchiha clan will relocate there. You go there first to confirm the situation and ensure it is safe."

After speaking, Uchiha Tamaharu directly opened a portal to the One Piece world.

Then, under the stunned gaze of Uchiha Shisui, he threw Itachi directly to the other side of the portal and closed it immediately.

"Is Itachi really that dangerous?"

"Is it necessary to go to such lengths?"

Shisui realized that Uchiha Tamaharu had done this solely to completely eliminate Uchiha Itachi as an unstable variable.

He felt insulted!

He himself had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, yet he had not been treated in such a manner.

But Itachi was being targeted so seriously, and he found it very puzzling.

"Continue your mission, ensure the plan proceeds safely."

"If there is a mistake, the Uchiha and Konoha will go to war, and I don't know how many people will die."

Uchiha Tamaharu did not explain.

Should he tell him that if things continued this way, Uchiha Itachi's hands would be stained with the blood of the Uchiha clan?

Are the people of Konoha human, but the Uchiha clan is not?

"Understood!"

Hearing Uchiha Tamaharu's words, Shisui calmed down.

Although he was a bit unhappy, Itachi was definitely safe, so he would let it go.

The mission to retreat was still more important!

"Uchiha Itachi has also lost contact!"

Danzo frowned deeply.

Uchiha Itachi had not arrived as promised today, which made him very angry.

At this moment, he could not distinguish whether Shisui and Uchiha Itachi had been discovered by the Uchiha clan, or if they had already defected and chosen the side of the Uchiha.

"Lord Danzo, the Uchiha clan seems to be purchasing medical and food supplies, and the quantity is quite massive."

"However, there has been no movement regarding ninja tools."

The person in charge of monitoring the Uchiha reported to Danzo from the side.

These days, the Anbu and Root could be said to have had almost no time to rest, covering almost the entirety of Konoha.

Except for the Uchiha compound, which was truly impossible to penetrate, other places were basically covered by the Anbu.

While dealing with the Uchiha, Danzo would not forget to target other clans, such as the Hyuga clan.

Last time, when dividing the spoils of the Senju clan, both the Hyuga and Uchiha were excluded.

The three clans they were mainly targeting in this generation were the Senju, Uchiha, and Hyuga. Not long ago, because of the incident with the Kumogakure envoy, they had forced the death of Hizashi Hyuga, the brother of the current Hyuga clan head, Hyuga Hiashi.

Now, the relationship between Konoha and the Hyuga clan was not very good.

Therefore, they also had to be on guard against them.

"What exactly are those Uchiha guys trying to do!"

Danzo was extremely annoyed at this moment.

Two of his undercover agents had lost contact, causing him to completely lose his grip on the Uchiha.

The intense exclusion of the Uchiha had resulted in almost no one within the clan being on their side, making it difficult to even grasp the current situation.

"Arrange for personnel to conduct an investigation inside the Uchiha compound, openly and aboveboard."

Danzo finally issued the order.

Doing this would further escalate the conflict.

But since he didn't even understand the current state of the Uchiha, he couldn't plan his next move.

Although he wished for the Uchiha to die immediately, it was best to avoid a fight if possible.

After all, if a war truly broke out, Konoha would suffer heavy losses, and the hyenas circling around them would tear off quite a few chunks of meat from Konoha.

The benefits gained from the Uchiha might not necessarily compensate for those losses!

"Yes!"

A dozen Root members in the vicinity responded immediately.

They then vanished in a flash before Danzo, setting off to carry out his orders!

"Kakashi, coming to the Uchiha side now seems to be a bit troublesome!"

Might Guy said to Kakashi with a furrowed brow.

Even someone like him, who was usually slow to react to such things, could feel the recent tension between the village and the Uchiha.

He didn't know why Kakashi had asked him to come to the Uchiha compound today to pay respects to Obito.

"Sigh, I don't know if there will be another chance like this."

Kakashi said with a complicated expression.

His squad was primarily responsible for external missions; the original duty of the Anbu was also to handle external affairs, while the Military Police Force handled internal ones.

Only Root was special, handling both internal and external matters, and their operations were very covert.

However, with a large number of Anbu recently recalled to Konoha, coupled with the fact that his subordinate Itachi had lost contact, he knew something must have happened in the village.

This included the mission he received yesterday, ordering them to find every possible way to investigate what was going on inside the Uchiha.

He knew that a battle between the village and the Uchiha was highly likely, but his bond with Obito made his feelings toward this clan complicated.

"Let's finish paying our respects and leave quickly; I get the feeling that the people here don't welcome us!"

Might Guy said.

He didn't know about all those things; that information only circulated within the Anbu.

"Guy, I, for one, welcome you."

But at this moment, someone suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Might Guy's face immediately lit up with joy.

"Tamaharu, what are you doing here!"

Might Guy turned around, and seeing Uchiha Tamaharu, he greeted him enthusiastically.

Tamaharu was from the same generation as them; although he was a year younger, it was during the war, and almost every ninja who graduated as a genin would end up on the battlefield.

The generational divisions weren't as clear-cut as they were later for Naruto and his peers, so Tamaharu was very familiar with Kakashi and Might Guy.
