Heading to the Uchiha Clan's Compound

But Yun Xi was too exhausted to worry about those details. What had happened had already happened.

His top priority now was to make sure the story continued to unfold.

Only if things returned to how they had been in the original story could he profit from the information he had brought over from his previous life.

If Yun Xi had held Obito Uchiha back and caused the entire incident to take an unpredictable turn...

He'd probably be so furious he'd cough up blood.

"I need to hurry and see how things are going with Itachi. If he hasn't made his move yet, we're in trouble!"

Realizing that something was wrong, Yun Xi hurried toward the Uchiha Clan's compound.

The main reason Yun Xi was so worried about whether Itachi had acted was that the Root Division's ninjas were already starting to waver.

The Third Hokage had always hoped the matter could be resolved peacefully.

In the original story, Itachi had acted so quickly that by the time the Third Hokage decided to intervene,

the entire Uchiha Clan had already been wiped out, leaving the Third Hokage no choice but to let Danzo do as he pleased.

But things were now completely different from how they had been in the original story.

Root had moved early.

The Konoha Military Police Force hadn't been attacked by Obito Uchiha.

A large number of Uchiha clan members had already spread the fighting into the main streets and other busy residential areas of Konoha.

Judging by the clash between the Anbu Ninja and the Uchiha clan members, the Third Hokage was clearly ready to act!

"For now, I can only go to the Uchiha Clan's compound and see what's happening before deciding what to do!"

Once he understood the situation, Yun Xi stopped watching his surroundings and quickened his pace.

"Am I already too late?"

When Yun Xi reached the area near the Uchiha compound, he found that it had been sealed off by a large number of Root ninjas.

They weren't letting anyone enter the heart of the Uchiha Clan's territory.

"Stop!"

As Yun Xi was scouting the area, two Root Chunin came straight up to him.

In an especially stern tone, they said, "A rogue ninja is trying to escape the village today. Go home. Now."

Their words weren't just arrogant; they also carried the air of an order.

It was as if Yun Xi would be killed on the spot if he didn't obey.

"Heh. You two clowns dare to bark orders at me?"

After hearing the Root Chunin's words, Yun Xi's face twisted into a sneer.

An ordinary civilian in Konoha might have feared the members of Root, who lurked in the village's shadows.

After all, from the day Danzo founded Root, no one who was taken away had ever come back.

No one even knew whether they were alive or dead...

But Yun Xi wasn't afraid in the slightest. After his trip to the Land of Waves, his strength had increased dramatically.

As long as he wasn't foolish enough to provoke all the ninja in Konoha,

his life wasn't in any danger!

Yun Xi had long been fed up with Danzo and his Root subordinates. How could he let these two get away with provoking him?

"Kid, we'll say it again..."

The two Root Chunin were about to repeat what they'd said when

Yun Xi attacked.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

Against two Root ninjas who were no stronger than Chunin,

Yun Xi didn't even bother releasing the Heaven Curse Mark.

He caught them off guard with a single Great Fireball Technique and knocked them both down.

Yun Xi didn't know exactly how badly they were hurt, but at the very least, they couldn't fight anymore.

After taking down the two Root Chunin, Yun Xi didn't linger.

Taking advantage of the night's cover, he leapt onto the roof beam of the tallest nearby building.

He planned to observe what was happening inside the Uchiha Clan's compound.

"Have they already started fighting?"

After confirming there were no enemies nearby, Yun Xi activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.

With its exceptionally powerful kinetic vision, he finally saw what was happening inside.

The Uchiha Clan, once Konoha's largest clan, had always been known for its secrecy.

Normally, ordinary ninja couldn't even get near the Uchiha Clan's compound.

But today, Yun Xi saw not only a large number of Root ninjas around its outer perimeter,

but also a mass of ninja fighting the Uchiha clan members inside the compound.

The area around the Uchiha compound was already littered with corpses...

It was nothing like the mysterious place it had once been!

"Good. I'm not too late!"

Seeing this eased some of the anxiety in Yun Xi's heart.

At least the Uchiha Clan had officially begun its rebellion. Even if Anbu intervened,

the outcome could no longer be changed.

No matter how weak the Third Hokage was as a leader, the Uchiha Clan had already decided to betray Konoha completely.

At this point, the Third Hokage could no longer use peaceful means to resolve the feud between Konoha and the Uchiha Clan!

"Ding. System alert: Two Three-Tomoe Sharingan have been detected within fifty meters of the host. Collection recommended."

Just then, the system's voice appeared in Yun Xi's mind.

Hearing the alert, Yun Xi turned around and saw that a fallen Uchiha clan member was indeed nearby.

In his still-open eyes were two bright red Sharingan!

"I'll collect the Sharingan first!"

With the system mission officially underway, Yun Xi began collecting Sharingan.

After all, the hidden mission about the Uchiha Clan came with incredibly generous rewards.

Completing it would not only grant Yun Xi the ability to activate Susanoo with just one eye,

but each Sharingan he collected would also increase Amaterasu's power by one percent.

Most importantly, the mission had no reward limit!

That meant that if Yun Xi collected enough Sharingan, he could make Amaterasu several times stronger!

With rewards like these, Yun Xi didn't mind going up against Danzo to snatch Sharingan!

"Stop. Who are you?"

Just as Yun Xi was about to steal the Sharingan, a group of people dressed as Konoha medical ninja called out to him.

But Yun Xi noticed that something seemed off about them...

Generally speaking, apart from the famous medical ninja, most medical ninja weren't very strong.

Most were Genin, with a few Chunin.

Their chakra natures also tended to be gentle.

But the medical ninja standing before Yun Xi were all at least Chunin-level.

The leader at the front was even a Jonin.

They also gave off a faint aura of killing intent.

"These must be Danzo's subordinates, right?"

Seeing these medical ninja, Yun Xi had a suspicion.

"We order you to stay where you are and wait for us to inspect you!"

The Jonin leading them looked at Yun Xi and pulled a Shuriken from his waist...
