"I see, truly a powerful ability."

Itachi nodded slightly, but a storm was raging in his heart.

Compared to Mingyou, he, who had been given the halo of genius since childhood, seemed somewhat dim.

"Itachi, enough talk, let's hurry and join up with the clan members."

Mingyou reminded him.

"Yeah."

"Susanoo!"

Itachi nodded slightly, then his eyes narrowed, and a surge of massive Chakra energy appeared along the outer edge of his body, and a huge bone armor hand converged.

A single-armed Susanoo had appeared.

The bone armor arm swung violently a few times towards the top of the cave entrance.

Rumble~~

The originally thick stone wall tunnel entrance was smashed to pieces, and broken bricks and rubble fell down with a crash.

Soon, the entrance to the secret passage was completely blocked, and the Root members outside could no longer detect any movement inside.

"Let's go."

Itachi turned his head and urged, rushing towards the depths of the secret passage.

"Sure is violent enough, why didn't he use this method earlier?"

Mingyou complained inwardly, but he didn't delay any longer and quickly followed behind Itachi.

This secret passage was not built wide, and could even be described as very crude.

Because in many places along the edges, you could see protruding rocks mixed in with the walls.

Perhaps there was no time to dig or polish them.

The entire secret passage extended slightly downwards, as if digging deeper and deeper.

But every five meters there was an emergency oil lamp.

Although the light from the oil lamps was weak, it provided a good lighting effect for this dark space.

"Elder, what should we do? It seems the Konoha ninja have blocked the outside."

"Doesn't that mean we can only be trapped to death in the secret passage?"

After about half an hour of travel, Mingyou and his brother finally saw a narrow cave ahead.

The remaining members of the Uchiha clan were all crowded into this small space, discussing incessantly.

At the forefront of the cave was a single-story staircase similar to a sewer ladder.

At the top of the stairs, a hole half a person high let in some light.

It seemed that this should be the exit of the secret passage.

"Elder, what's going on? Why are you all stopped here?"

Mingyou pushed through the crowded people, arrived beside Uchiha Soki, and asked with a questioning look.

Uchiha Soki sighed and said, "Mingyou, you've finally returned. Just now, many clan members climbed out of the cave to scout the way, but they were killed on the spot by Konoha people. We've been surrounded."

Mingyou frowned slightly, and said angrily, "What? The Konoha people are really going all out, they actually chased us here!"

According to what Shimura Danzo said, the Uchiha members on duty at the guard post had all been killed by them.

Although they didn't know where they got the news from, knowing the location of this secret passage exit.

But Konoha's intention was obvious, to kill the Uchiha clan completely.

"Mingyou, I hope you remember what you promised me, not to start a war with Konoha."

Itachi stepped forward slowly and stood beside Mingyou.

The Great Elder Soki glared and said angrily, "Itachi, what time is it now? The clan members are about to lose their lives here, and you're still in the mood to mention this?"

"What kind of bewitching drug did the higher-ups of Konoha give you? To make you betray your own clan?"

Mingyou grabbed Soki's arm and dissuaded him, "Alright, old man, you're already old, don't get so angry, be careful of getting sick."

Then Mingyou looked at Itachi, his eyes with a hint of coldness: "Itachi, I did promise you not to start a war with Konoha, and I will follow my word this time."

"But if the Konoha people go too far, I will still find trouble with Konoha in the future."

Even at this time, Itachi was still making such remarks, and Mingyou couldn't help but suspect whether this guy's thinking was a bit pedantic.

There was an irreconcilable gap between the Uchiha and Konoha, and the Uchiha did indeed have a rebellious heart.

But this time, the Uchiha only wanted to escape from Konoha, but they were still chased and killed, so the same situation would probably happen in the future.

No matter where the Uchiha people went, they would be followed by Konoha pursuers.

The conflict between the two sides was still an irreconcilable relationship.

Mingyou's words now were also a pre-emptive warning to Itachi.

The Uchiha won't just forever be prey to be captured; one day Mingyou will lead the clan back to kill once more.

"Big brothers, what on earth is wrong with you?"

Sasuke squeezed out from the crowd. He watched Mingyou and Itachi confronting each other and stood between them, not wanting any conflict to occur.

"Sasuke, it's nothing, don't worry."

Itachi affectionately stroked Sasuke's head and pulled him in front of himself.

Mingyou had no intention of comforting Sasuke. Instead, he turned to look at the others.

"Everyone, listen to me first, I have a way to get you out of here."

"In a moment, I will take you to another space. I hope everyone doesn't panic."

"Mom, you go in first. Father is waiting for you inside." Mingyou turned to look at Uchiha Mikoto.

Mikoto nodded slightly, naturally trusting this son of hers: "Okay, Mingyou, begin."

Mingyou gently placed his hand on Mikoto's shoulder. With a violent spatial distortion, Mikoto was sucked into the Kamui space.

Next, for the remaining two hundred or so people, Mingyou used the same method. Under their shocked gazes, Mingyou placed his hands on their shoulders, activated the power of Kamui, and sucked them into that space filled with crystal coffins.

Soon, only Mingyou and Itachi remained in the cave.

Itachi refused to go in no matter what, saying that he wanted to go outside with Mingyou to ensure each other's safety.

But Mingyou was very clear in his heart that this guy was afraid that he would go out alone and indiscriminately kill innocent people, so he made up such an excuse.

Sometimes Mingyou really couldn't help but wonder if Itachi's heart of universal love was kindness or pedantry.

Outside the cave entrance, more than two thousand Anbu members had completely surrounded this space.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had been waiting in advance.

He was wearing a combat uniform, holding a golden staff, surrounded by Anbu guards, staring grimly at the tree hole exit.

"Third Hokage, all two thousand three hundred and sixty-two Anbu members are present."

Kakashi Hatake flashed forward, bowed, and reported.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes narrowed, and he waved his hand to order: "Barrier squad, move!"

Whoosh!!

In the Anbu squad, the members of the barrier squad all stepped forward.

Each of them unfurled scrolls in their hands, their fingers dancing rapidly, as Chakra aura emanated out.

A faint circular Chakra barrier completely enveloped this space.
