At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi was furious to the limit.
At the same time, he also felt somewhat sorrowful.
For a long time, Hiruzen Sarutobi had been dreaming the dream of being the strongest Hokage.
Not just being in office the longest!
Not just having the strongest grip on power!
He had the dream of becoming the number one Hokage.
He modified textbooks, implanting his personal heroism into them.
He worked hard to unite the various clans together.
He wanted to accomplish making the entire Konoha no longer a situation where each clan did things its own way.
Yet now, the departure of several ninja clans shattered the illusions Hiruzen Sarutobi had held all along.
Even the Hyuga Clan, hailed as Konoha's premier clan, had not shown up at all from the beginning until now.
With their Byakugan, could they possibly not know what was happening right now!?
Clearly, they did not!
The reason they had not appeared was already self-evident...
"Hehehe... Hahaha!"
"Old Dog Sarutobi, go to hell!"
Uchiha Kazama laughed aloud.
For Hiruzen Sarutobi to experience such a betrayal right at the very end, it was truly not bad!
It could also be considered drawing a perfect period to his filthy life...
After speaking, Uchiha Kazama charged straight at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Tonight, he had to die!
"Danzo, what you wanted, I promise you!"
"Still not making a move, do you plan to face the Uchiha by yourself!?"
As Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, the Adamantine Staff in his hand swung upward.
He blocked Uchiha Kazama's slash.
The moment the Adamantine Staff made contact with Uchiha Kazama's short sword, his entire body was smashed flying backward.
The terrifying strength made Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart palpitate with shock!
Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat dazed; had Uchiha Kazama actually grown strong to this extent already!?
Coupled with that pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart was already trembling.
Under these circumstances, he already knew clearly that he was definitely no match for Uchiha Kazama.
Furthermore, if Danzo were to continue watching the show from the sidelines next, he wouldn't last much longer.
"Clang!"
The next moment, a blurred afterimage appeared, and a short sword in hand blocked Uchiha Kazama's offensive.
At the same time, a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan appeared within everyone's line of sight.
The newcomer made the members of the Uchiha take a deep breath.
One by one, they shifted their gazes toward Fugaku.
Because the person who had appeared was none other than Uchiha Fugaku's eldest son-Uchiha Itachi!
He was also the Uchiha Itachi whom Fugaku had previously said had become an Anbu Captain and would be able to work for the clan in the future!
That was his pride!
Earlier, Uchiha Kazama had said that Uchiha Itachi might have already betrayed the clan; although they hadn't questioned it, they still hadn't dared to believe it.
Now, they believed it!
Uchiha Itachi blocked Uchiha Kazama's attack, shielding Hiruzen Sarutobi.
What kind of situation this was-with Uchiha Itachi's intelligence, could he possibly not know?!
Even now that the clan had already stood on the opposite side of Konoha High Command, he still stood in front of their Patriarch, Uchiha Kazama.
This was already making his stance completely clear.
"Kazama, did you ultimately still walk down this path?"
"Right now..."
"Is this your upbringing!?"
Before Itachi could continue speaking, Fugaku rushed forward and kicked Itachi flying.
Watching Fugaku look somewhat eager, Kazama wore a mocking expression.
Fugaku, that fellow, was still holding onto a sliver of hope!
What he did not know was that the heart of that turncoat Itachi had long since ceased to belong to the clan.
Of course, Kazama did not stop him.
Since Fugaku wanted to do it himself, then let him do it himself.
"Father, are you really going to follow this guy and go mad?!"
"Right now, he has already led the clan down a path of no return. If this continues, we of the Uchiha might be completely wiped out directly!"
"Is this... what you want to see!?"
Itachi wore an expression of anger and heartbreak!
He had originally thought that his father understood him.
He had even been making continuous efforts.
This time regarding the Uchiha Clan Massacre, he was also desperately trying to stop it.
He had already secured an agreement that executing all the Radicals of the Uchiha would allow the Uchiha to continue remaining in the village.
Moreover, he was even going to do it with his own hands.
Why couldn't his father wait for him on a matter of sacrificing the small family for the greater good?!
Could it be that there was no greater righteousness in his heart?!
"Do you know about the plan for the massacre?!"
Without answering Itachi's question, Fugaku stared at Itachi with a solemn expression.
Right now, he was still holding onto a sliver of fantasy.
"I know."
"However, the higher-ups have already promised me now."
"As long as all the Radicals of the Uchiha are executed, the remaining clansmen who are wholeheartedly devoted to the village will be able to survive."
"Father, you can survive too, and our family members will all survive."
"After clearing out those warmongers in the clan, we will also be able to usher in better development!"
Itachi spoke rapidly.
The entire person looked somewhat frantically raving!
He truly could not accept that even his father did not understand him.
The Uchiha's crazy actions right now were completely pushing the clan down the road to ruin!
At this moment, Itachi was completely obsessed.
He did not even feel how ridiculous the words he spoke were!
"You have already agreed to attack the ninja of the clan?"
"Itachi, I am very disappointed in you!"
"You even choose to trust outsiders rather than choosing to trust the clan."
"This is your ninja way, then let it end right here..."
After Fugaku finished speaking, his Mangekyō Sharingan rotated once more.
The red Susanoo rose again, and a skeletal fist smashed directly toward Itachi.
Fugaku had completely lost hope.
The things Kazama spoke of were true!
If not for Kazama's crazy actions tonight, they might not have even known how they died.
When the time came, not even the chance for regret... would exist.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!"
At this time, Danzo also made a move.
The Baku behind him lunged directly at Kurama.
As for Danzo, he released a Wind Release technique toward Kazama.
After Fugaku made a move against Itachi, Kazama was already prepared to continue attacking Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Now, Danzo's attack interrupted Kazama's offensive.
A blast of Wind Release hurtled over, and Kazama raised his hand.
In his hand, a ball of black energy appeared.
Thud!
Accompanied by a muffled sound, the Wind Release technique released by Danzo was grabbed directly by Kazama in one hand.
With a casual wave, that ball of unstable Wind Release chakra simply dissipated.
