Itachi's Will of Fire

After leaving the Hokage Building, Utatane Koharu still could not help asking Danzo, who was walking ahead of her, "Will Itachi Uchiha really follow our plan?"

Danzo paused, turned around, and said in a low voice, "Koharu, you underestimate Hiruzen Sarutobi's abilities too much."

"Hiruzen Sarutobi's abilities..."

Utatane Koharu instantly thought of something and fell silent.

After hearing those words, Mitokado Homura likewise said nothing more.

As old friends, they knew clearly that when it came to brainwashing, Hiruzen Sarutobi's abilities were likely no weaker than Danzo's.

Especially for an idealist like Itachi Uchiha.

Having figured that out, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, they still needed to make the necessary preparations.

After all, as Konoha's foremost shinobi clan, the Uchiha Clan had occupied quite a few of Konoha's industries over the past several decades.

Once the Uchiha Clan fell, those industries would instantly become succulent chunks of meat. If they were even a step too slow, other clans might devour them all.

As Konoha's higher-ups, they occasionally had to consider their own families and factions too, didn't they?

Over the next few days, ANBU and Root clearly stepped up their surveillance of the Uchiha Clan Grounds. They even clashed with Uchiha clansmen several times.

What troubled the Uchiha Clan most was that throughout this period, Uchiha clansmen had been disappearing without explanation!

"As the Konoha Military Police Force, we can't even investigate why our own clansmen are vanishing?"

At the latest clan meeting, Fugaku Uchiha flew into a rare rage.

The number of clansmen who had disappeared over the past few days had already reached ten. More importantly, all ten had awakened the Sharingan. Every one of them was an important combat asset of the Uchiha Clan, yet they had simply vanished from the clan grounds
