Fugaku was still completely dazed.
Before he could open his mouth to ask, Yan Uchiha stood up, pushed the window open, and jumped out.
The street outside the Konoha Military Police Force was pitch-black.
Yan Uchiha wore a largely expressionless face.
He glanced at the Root ninja blocking his path, folded his arms across his chest, and flashed a languid smile.
"Heh, interesting."
"Our Lord Hokage has sent us quite a gift."
"That idiot Danzo is being used as Hiruzen Sarutobi's weapon."
He made no attempt to hide the arrogance radiating from him.
Surrounded by a pack of Root ninja, he still had the leisure to pass judgment on them.
Gong Yue, who had just rushed out after him, knitted his brows at Jin Uchiha's words.
Root?!
Even though Yan Uchiha had just made him realize that reconciliation between the Uchiha and the village was impossible, the sight of these Root ninja still made him instinctively shout, "You Root people are blocking the Uchiha's doors in the middle of the night. Are you trying to start a war?"
The commotion spread quickly, and the Uchiha on duty inside the Konoha Military Police Force rushed out too.
Seeing Jin and Gong Yue standing at the front, they automatically gathered behind them and faced off against the Root ninja.
"Execute the mission. Target 207. Kill!"
The ninja leading them wore sunglasses. His name was Yūjo Aburame, and his voice was as cold as shards of ice.
As a member of Root, he had no intention of wasting even a single word on the Uchiha.
Danzo's orders were their sole reason for living.
His hands rapidly formed hand seals, and a dense swarm of insects poured from beneath his black robes.
"Secret Technique: Parasitic Insects!"
The other Root ninja did not hesitate either.
