Uchiha Yan Wanted to Wipe Out the Clan

Danzo had no idea what to do. He understood the Third Hokage, yet had no way to deal with him.

After a long silence, Danzo decided to ask someone else:

"Kinoe, what do you think the Third Hokage fears most right now?"

"An Uchiha Rebellion?"

"Oh?"

Danzo's eyes lit up. "Yes, yes! Well said! How did I forget about that? What that monkey fears most is the Uchiha and Root.

"Heh heh heh, it's not as if this hasn't happened before. That monkey will never see it coming.

"Taka, take two squads and seize Uchiha Misa and Uchiha Shinichi. Wait until an Uchiha Jonin is there before you act.

"Remember, I want you to fight the Uchiha. No restrictions on location or ninjutsu."

"Yes, sir."

As a Root ninja, Taka never asked why they had to do something. They simply carried out their orders without hesitation.

Under Taka's lead, the Root squads, consisting of two Jonin and four Chunin, charged straight into the barbecue restaurant.

After scanning the restaurant, Taka walked up to Misa and Shinichi and spoke flatly:

"Uchiha Misa, Uchiha Shinichi, Lord Danzo requests your presence. Don't make us use force."

"You're welcome to try!"

Jinyan's mocking voice came from the entrance. "First Itachi and Yan, now Misa and Shinichi. Is this all Root can do? Pick on children?"

Taka slowly turned around, his gaze unwavering. "No one may defy Lord Danzo's orders."

"Heh heh heh..."

Jinyan closed his eyes and opened them again, three tomoe slowly spinning within them. "I said, you're welcome to try!"

As he finished speaking, several more Uchiha appeared at the entrance, every one of them staring straight at the Root ninja with scarlet eyes.

Having already received Danzo's orders, Taka showed no fear of the people before him. He drew the short sword from his back and charged at the Uchiha.

"Attack!"

At the sight, Jinyan's eyes lit up. He could not help praising Yan inwardly. Yan really had predicted this. Impressive.

Unfortunately, Yan's too softhearted. How can a clash like this not leave anyone dead? He actually wanted to do this somewhere secluded in the village. Naive.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Jinyan did not care where he was or how many innocent people were inside. To him, what did a few deaths matter as long as he achieved his goal? They were not his family, anyway.

Boom...

"Ah... help!"

Crackle...

Explosions and screams rang out inside the barbecue restaurant. More than a dozen ordinary villagers were caught in the attack and injured, and some were even burned to death on the spot.

Taka glanced back at the devastation inside the restaurant, his body trembling despite himself. The Uchiha Clan truly had no restraint.

"Kill!"

"Water Release: Water Shockwave!"

Water suddenly appeared before them, spinning rapidly upward like a tornado. Then the water tornado surged toward Jinyan, leaving devastation in its wake.

Seeing Taka start exchanging ninjutsu with the Uchiha Clan, the other Root ninja stopped holding back and unleashed their own techniques.

Villagers on the nearby streets stared in horror toward the barbecue restaurant. Countless bursts of flame shot into the sky, and the sounds of wind, thunder, and water mingled with screams, echoing throughout Konoha.

The villagers remembered the terror the Night of the Nine-Tails had brought them. None of them knew what had happened or what they should do. They could only stare blankly toward the barbecue restaurant.

Meanwhile, Kakashi had just released Uchiha Yan from the genjutsu. Before Yan could speak, he heard the explosions.

"This is bad!"

Uchiha Yan's expression changed drastically. In that instant, he understood why he had fallen asleep and why Kakashi had come looking for him.

"Captain Kakashi, hurry and stop them! If they keep fighting like this, who knows how many people will die?"

"Heh heh heh! Yan, you two should stay out of it. Jinyan and the others know when to stop."

Seeing Xiaren suddenly appear, Yan could not help unleashing a torrent of abuse:

"Why did you use genjutsu? We had a plan, so why didn't you follow it? If everyone dies, are you going to farm to feed me and sew clothes for me to wear?

"Are you brain-dead? Don't you know there's fighting on the front lines? What will the village's ninja think if they find out their families died at the hands of people from their own village?

"If a Jonin defects because of this, do you know how hard that would hit Konoha's morale?

"You're good for nothing but ruining things! Can you use your brains before you act?

"And you have the nerve to laugh! If something happens to the Uchiha Clan because someone sells our intelligence, you can get ready to slit your belly!"

After finishing his tirade, Uchiha Yan ignored Xiaren's reaction, grabbed Kakashi, and ran outside.

Xiaren stood rooted to the spot after the scolding. What? Did I just get yelled at? No, what did he just say? Someone might defect because their family died, and might even sell intelligence?

"This is bad!"

At that moment, Xiaren wanted to slap himself. Why couldn't they have just followed the plan? Why had they changed it on a whim?

Now he could only hope that not many people had died this time, and that it would not affect the Land of Lightning battlefield.

By the time Uchiha Yan and Kakashi reached the scene, the Third Hokage had already arrived with the Anbu to stop the fighting.

Uchiha Yan looked out over an entire street reduced to rubble. Clearly, neither side had been trying to kill people; they had been trying to cause a huge commotion.

Bodies were carried out of the rubble one after another, while many injured villagers lay beside the ruins, waiting for medical ninja to treat them.

The sight made Uchiha Yan's vision darken. What he found even more unexpected was the exchange that followed between Jinyan and the Third Hokage.

"Uchiha Jinyan, why did you use ninjutsu?"

"Lord Third Hokage, Root tried to seize members of the Uchiha Clan. They attacked first, too."

"I asked you why you used ninjutsu."

The Third Hokage's hard-line attitude stirred Jinyan's defiance. Without thinking, he blurted out:

"I'll use it if I want to. The Uchiha Clan has never deigned to explain itself."

"Heh heh heh..."

The Third Hokage laughed in his fury and raised his right hand high. Just as he was about to order Jinyan taken away for trial, Uchiha Yan rushed behind Jinyan, leaped high, and slapped him on the head.

Smack!

Uchiha Yan cursed, "Do you even hear yourself? You idiot! You've wasted over twenty years of your life.

"Look at the villagers around you. Look at the state of the Uchiha before you open your mouth, will you?"

"Yan, what are you doing? I was following your plan."

"Pfft!"

Uchiha Yan tried to stop him from speaking, but it was too late. His vision kept darkening. How could someone this stupid exist?

Fuck! What kind of freaks are these? Do the Uchiha all lack brains? No wonder that filial son wanted to wipe out the clan. Now I want to wipe it out too!

It's over! So many people died, the plan failed, and we even handed Danzo the credit. We tried to gain something and only ended up losing more.

Let it all burn! Where the hell did this clan of idiots come from? What a bunch of useless teammates!

I can't take it! I'm starting to understand Uchiha Itachi...

At that moment, the resentment in Uchiha Yan's heart grew stronger and stronger. Even Jinyan could see it on his face.

The Third Hokage and the others stared fixedly at the silent Uchiha Yan, their eyes filled with suspicion.

Suddenly, surprise appeared on the Third Hokage's face. "This... is this...?"

Jinyan looked just as stunned. How was this possible? How could this happen?

"Yan, how did you awaken the Sharingan? Why did you awaken it?"

Uchiha Yan raised a kunai to look at his reflection. When he noticed a little tadpole in his eyes, he did not feel particularly happy.

He could have awakened the Sharingan anyway; it was merely a matter of time. What mattered most was the plan to bring Danzo down next.

Now that the plan had been ruined, he would once again have to guard against Danzo endlessly.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Yan snapped, "Why did I awaken it? Your stupidity awakened it. After meeting an idiot like you, I'd be doing your brainlessness a disservice if I didn't awaken the Sharingan."
