Sunlight tore through the darkness.
The village, which had slept through the night, finally awakened.
Not every Konoha villager had been roused from their dreams by last night's fierce battle.
Some particularly heavy sleepers woke up, stepped outside their homes, and were instantly dumbfounded.
???
What was this???
A massive ravine cut across the edge of the village, stretching all the way to the horizon.
Had divine punishment descended last night???
Was this the power of a human?!
If this ravine had shifted even slightly, it would have passed straight through Konoha.
How many homes would have been destroyed? How many villagers would have been left homeless?
Shock, awe, and disbelief spread in an instant, racing wildly through the village.
The village that had only just awakened erupted into an uproar!
Quite a few ninja had gone to the Uchiha Clan Compound last night and witnessed that astonishing scene firsthand.
Thus, what had happened at the Uchiha Clan Compound last night spread without wings, exploding through Konoha like a clap of thunder!
Danzo, the Hokage's aide, had invaded the Uchiha Clan Compound last night???
That enormous ravine had been left behind when Calamity Uchiha judged Danzo???
Throughout Konoha's streets and alleys, countless villagers craned their necks, faces flushed as they discussed it excitedly.
The vivid way they recounted it made it seem as if they had personally been there last night.
"Danzo was covered head to toe in Sharingan! He even had Sharingan in his crotch! It's true! I saw it with my own eyes last night!"
"Who would've thought Lord Danzo, who always seemed so composed, played so wildly in private?"
"Exactly! I heard he invaded the Uchiha Clan Compound because he wanted to collect Sharingan to replace parts down there! Tsk tsk..."
"No wonder those Uchiha went mad!
