The Nine-Tails Incident, Part Seven

"Nai, clan chief, please, please forgive Zensui..."

The elderly man, in his sixties, was in tears, and even his address changed from the straightforward way of calling him by his name to a more respectful form of address.

Seeing Naraku shook his head slightly and reached out to help the Second Elder Uchiha Kyo, up. Uchiha Kyo gathered his Chakra to maintain his position, but Naraku did not use his Chakra and could not help him up immediately.

"Elder Kyo, please rise. You are the Second Elder of the Uchiha. How can I accept your kneeling!"

Naraku gathered Chakra in his hands, trying to help the Second Elder up, but he couldn't.

"I am guilty! It is because I did not teach my grandson properly that this happened. Please, please forgive Zensui! I am willing to take the punishment in Zensui."

Naraku used his Strength of a Hundred to forcefully lift the Second Elder to his feet.

"There is no precedent for this... Elder Kyo. This boy has repeatedly acted violently. Today, he joined forces with the Uchiha ambitious man who had been living abroad to create chaos caused by the Nine-Tails, and once again sought an opportunity to assassinate me."

"If it weren't for my decent Ninjutsu, I would probably have been ambushed by them today. How could I forgive that? Otherwise, where would my authority be?"

Naraku looked at the Second Elder, Uchiha Kyo, with a complicated expression. No matter how benevolent Naraku, he couldn't possibly remain silent about such a crime; otherwise, where would his authority be?

"I understand! This boy's crimes are unforgivable!"

The Second Elder Uchiha Kyo expression as he pulled out a Kunai and held it to his own neck.

"Naraku, I have never begged anyone in my life, but today is an exception. Please, for the sake of my sixty years of service to the Uchiha, agree to let me suffer in place of Zensui. I am willing to give my life for yours!"

The Second Elder Uchiha Kyo, Flash Cut a fierce light in his one eye, then forcefully slit his own throat, splattering blood onto Naraku's face.

"You..."

Naraku stared blankly as Uchiha Kyo committed suicide, somewhat stunned.

"Grandfather..."

After his first operation failed, Uchiha Zensui was very confused and didn't know whether his actions were right or wrong.

Later Hiruko Yuho City learning a great deal about the Yuho City, I gained a deeper understanding of Naraku's plans.

He felt some regret, but he knew that his crimes were unforgivable. The clan chief might be lenient, but he couldn't get past his own conscience.

Zensui swiftly pulled out the Kunai that Uchiha Kyo had thrown earlier, gripped Kunai in his right hand, and plunged it into his own heart, his face contorted in anguish as he murmured:

"I was wrong..."

Uchiha Zensui attempt failed, and Naraku Body Flicker Technique in front of him, grabbing his wrist to stop him.

Naraku's expression was complex as he said in a deep voice:

"Uchiha Zensui... Since Elder Kyo... insists on paying with his life, I respect his last wish."

The Second Elder dedicated nearly sixty years to the Uchiha, witnessing the founding of Konoha, the rise and fall of the Uchiha from the First to the Fourth Hokage.

His lifelong wish was to restore the Uchiha to its former glory during the Warring States period, and now, as Hokage, that has been achieved, and will soon surpass the past..."

Naraku a deep breath and continued:

"You are Elder Kyo's most valued descendant, possessing the Mangekyō Sharingan, a talent rarely seen in the Uchiha for decades. Since Elder Kyo insists on taking the blame for you... you are forbidden from using the Uchiha name again. Get out!"

Naraku finished speaking, closed his eyes, waved his hand, and signaled to Uchiha Zensui he could leave.

Uchiha Zensui's face was filled with sorrow, Kunai to let go, he knelt on the ground, trembling and sobbing.

"I was wrong..."

Konoha

Naka Shrine

"The Sharingan's forbidden technique Izanagi, should have been expected. How could the Second Elder of the Uchiha not know this move? Now we're in trouble."

Everyone stared at Uchiha Kyo's vanished corpse and realized something was wrong.

"We need to act quickly and kill Mitokado Homura and Uchiha Jiro. Then, with twenty of us young and strong Uchiha, I doubt the clan leader will punish us all!"

Uchiha Karasu made a decision, reasoned and well-founded, and loudly reassured everyone.

The group was comforted by Uchiha Karasu's words, which dispelled their fear of the plot being exposed.

"You six, Divine Dog, go to Mitokado Homura's residence and kill Mitokado Homura. The rest of you, come with me to Uchiha Jiro's residence and deal with Jiro."

Uchiha Karasu, with commanding presence and gestures, effectively arranged the actions and personnel.

"Good!"

Everyone readily agreed, and they split into two groups, taking advantage of the chaos and vulnerability in Konoha to carry out assassinations.

Uchiha Karasu, seeing the Divine Dog leading his men into the village, was somewhat satisfied with their obedient execution of his orders to assassinate Mitokado Homura. He glanced at the others and said in a deep voice:

"Come with me! When I become the minister, everyone will live a life of luxury!"

"Yes, sir!"

"OK!"

The crowd responded enthusiastically.

Almost all the ninjas from the Uchiha Clan Compound were mobilized to fight against the Nine-Tails, or were under the command of Fugaku in the Police Force to maintain stability in Konoha.

Most of the people remaining in the clan's territory were ordinary people without ninja skills. Most of them hid inside the houses, and many stood on higher ground, gazing into the distance outside the village, as if they could see something.

Uchiha Karasu led a large number of his subordinates and quickly made their way to Uchiha Jiro's residence.

The group easily scaled the wall and broke into the house.

"What are you lot doing here at my house instead of fighting the Nine-Tails?"

Uchiha Jiro looked at the group with some surprise.

Uchiha Jiro is teaching Uchiha Hi, who is eight years old. Uchiha Hi has good talent and his Ninjutsu is very proficient. He is a promising talent and is the hope in Saburo's eyes.

Nine-Tails Incident, Saburo, as the head of Konoha's Department of Adjudication and one of its high-ranking officials, did not risk going out to fight, but stayed at home to await the outcome.

Uchiha Karasu and his companions exchanged glances, Kunai, and launched an attack in an instant.

"Huh!? What are you trying to do!? Damn it, get out of here!"

Saburo realized the problem, dodged several times, and ran indoors, trying to grab his ninja tool bag and weapons.

His son Uchiha Hi, quickly leaped to dodge the ninja tool attacks and followed behind.

However, although the two moved quickly, these hot-blooded youths who had defied their superiors were not to be trifled with. Among them were many elites who had awakened their Kekkei Genkai, and Uchiha Hi was captured in just two rounds.

"Uchiha Jiro, I advise you to surrender, or this brat will be dead."

Uchiha Karasu Kunai to Uchiha Hi's throat, a threatening smirk playing on his lips.

"What do you want to do! Do you want to betray your clan Konoha?!"

Uchiha Saburo, gripping his long sword, shouted loudly, somewhat bewildered by the sudden turn of events. He couldn't understand what had gotten into these people that they dared to instigate a rebellion within their own clan.

"We are the future of the family, how could we betray them? It's just that now the clouds are obscuring the sun, and villains are in power. We have talent, but nowhere to use it."

"I can only trouble you, Lord Jiro, to step down and give us young people a chance."

Uchiha Saburo's eyes widened in disbelief at the motives of these people.

"You want to overthrow your superiors?"

Uchiha Jiro said coldly, "As a capable subordinate of Uchiha Sanzang, after Sanzang's son Uchiha Nara the clan leader and then the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, Jiro, being close to Sanzang's faction, was promoted and given important responsibilities."

"Hmph, what do you mean by 'subordinate overthrowing superiors'? You're just a chicken and a dog, illiterate! If you hadn't clung to your father, the clan chief, how could you have become a minister? I want you to kill yourself right now! Otherwise, he'll be dead."

Uchiha Karasu Kunai to Uchiha Hi's throat, threatening him in a cold voice.

"How dare you murder your own kind...?"

A shout came from outside, and nine figures appeared.

"Who goes there!?"

The young people inside the room all turned to look behind them warily, recognizing the person at the front.

"Uchiha Ruofeng?"

The person outside was Uzumaki Taki. In the Ruofeng Ruofeng chose to carry out the mission issued by the clan leader Naraku.

Monitor Uchiha Karasu his group; if they make any unusual moves, suppress and capture them immediately.

The two squads led by Ruofeng are elite Uchiha Anbu Guard. The true elite of the Uchiha are mostly found in the Uchiha Anbu Guard, Special Police Division, and Anbu.
