Meanwhile, more than ten days had passed in Konoha since Kentaro Uchiha and the others had faked their deaths and escaped.
After Yashiro Uchiha repeatedly polished the report, news that four Uchiha squads, including Kentaro and Bosawa, had been ambushed at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Water and wiped out finally reached Konoha.
With Kakashi's successful Sharingan transplant as precedent, the quiet, corpse-less deaths of sixteen Uchiha who had all awakened the Sharingan made it difficult for people not to entertain other thoughts.
It just so happened that Kirigakure had recently sent representatives to Konoha to sign the Armistice Alliance Treaty.
Thus, the village higher-ups, the Uchiha Clan, and Kirigakure's representatives turned Konoha upside down.
The village higher-ups denounced the Uchiha, claiming that the Uchiha's arrogance and foolishness had caused perhaps sixteen pairs of Sharingan to fall into outside hands, including three pairs of Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
This would place the village in an extremely unfavorable position in the future.
Leaving aside how the village's shinobi would deal with other people's Sharingan, just someone with a transplanted Sharingan impersonating a Konoha shinobi and doing things outside the village would be enough to make Konoha suffer.
Naturally, the Uchiha could not tolerate this. Those who had died were their clansmen, and the Sharingan was their clan's Kekkei Genkai. They had died defending the nation's border.
Under such circumstances, not only had the village failed to help the Uchiha find the culprits, it was even denouncing them. It simply did not treat the Uchiha as people.
Moreover, the report had been sent back by Yashiro Uchiha, the mastermind behind Kentaro, Bosawa, and the other Uchiha squads faking their deaths.
After being revised and polished countless times, it not only left no trace of a loophole regarding their
