"And who are you?" Quan asked in fear.
Neither of these masked guys looks like a good person.
"An ally of the Uchiha... your clansmen were probably all killed by that guy."
Aoki Tsuki pointed to the inside of the Konoha Military Police Force, where a strong smell of blood wafted out.
Upon hearing this, Quan hurriedly turned around and rushed into the Konoha Military Police Force, letting out a series of exclamations.
The Konoha Military Police Force was littered with corpses, blood staining the floor and walls studded with Shuriken and Kunai, indicating that the men had put up a fierce fight before they died.
People were lying haphazardly on the floor of the corridors along the way.
"They all seem to be dead... wait, there's one here that's not quite dead... looks familiar."
"Brother Tekka!"
"Quan, quick, go tell the clan chief, we've been ambushed! Be careful of the village..." Tekka didn't finish his sentence before his head lolled to the side and he died.
"How could this happen... What on earth happened?" Izumi cried out in despair.
The mysterious Masked Man slaughtered the Uchiha's elite forces.
" Danzo is bringing his men this way," Aoki Tsuki warned. He didn't want to run into Danzo, otherwise he would definitely frame him for the crime.
"Your name is Izumi, right? Come with me."
Quan shook his head. "I want to go home and see my mother... and everyone..."
"I advise you to hurry, you might still be able to see them one last time if you go back now."
"You mean..." Izumi seemed to have realized something.
"Looks like you already guessed it. Let's go."
At this time, a fratricidal conflict was unfolding within the Uchiha Clan Compound.
"My foolish little brother, if you want to kill me, then hate me, despise me, and then writhe on in an ugly state, run away... run away, seize this last chance of life."
"When you have eyes like mine one day, come to me."
Sasuke then collapsed to the ground, unconscious, under the gaze of the Mangekyo.
Tears welled in Itachi's eyes. He took one last look at his surroundings. The Anbu should be arriving soon to clean up the battlefield, so he had no choice but to leave.
Meanwhile, Aoki Tsuki brought Izumi to her house.
Quan had been terrified the whole way, and his legs trembled when he saw that his house was completely dark.
As she shakily entered the house and went to her mother's bedroom, she saw her mother lying in a pool of blood by the moonlight streaming through the window, and the last shred of hope in her heart vanished.
"Mommy... Waaah..."
Aoki Tsuki knew the outcome even without going inside the house, standing in the courtyard.
Itachi's character is guaranteed; he will absolutely not leave any survivors.
After waiting patiently for a while and seeing no movement inside, they went inside and found that Uchiha Izumi had fainted from crying. So they carried her away from the Uchiha Clan Compound.
The Jashin Cult's sneak attack was merely a surprise attack on Konoha; in essence, they were still a group of cowardly, bullying ninja.
Konoha, with its deep resources, quickly organized a counterattack, eliminating the Jashin Cult one by one, and in a short time drove them to their gates.
Once the Jashin Cult cult had completely withdrawn from Konoha, the Konoha Ninja, with no more scruples, began to use Ninjutsu and Explosive Tag on a large scale.
The followers suffered heavy casualties and could only flee in disarray.
After dealing with the Jashin Cult, the Third Hokage finally had time to rush to the Uchiha's territory, only to find a field of corpses.
"This is terrible, what on earth happened?"
After searching the area, the Anbu personnel found only one survivor, Sasuke Uchiha, who was rushed to the hospital.
"Who could have done this? It's terrifying."
"It's Uchiha Itachi."
Danzo walked over, leaning on his cane. "Because he was dissatisfied with the arrogance of his clansmen and was filled with disgust and hatred towards them, he killed Shisui Uchiha."
And it took away Shisui's eyes, sparking conflict with his compatriots, which ultimately led to this tragedy.
"How could this be? Itachi..." Kakashi couldn't believe it.
Hiruzen Sarutobi urged, "Stop dawdling, get to work!"
The crowd quickly dispersed and stopped discussing it.
Danzo walked up to Hiruzen Sarutobi and whispered, "That solves everything."
"Solve what? A thick bone is stuck in our throats, don't you understand?" Hiruzen Sarutobi roared.
Without a doubt, the Konoha High Command has lost all credibility; don't expect any other family to trust them in the future.
Their reputation in the Shinobi World will be stained with an indelible mark.
Danzo retorted, "It's just a small bone."
" Danzo, I can no longer turn a blind eye to your arbitrary actions. From this day forward, you are relieved of your position as Hokage's assistant."
Danzo panicked upon hearing this, for this was the source of his power, and he hastily tried to use the village as a shield.
"If this is for the sake of the village, Uchiha are also members of the village. Also, disband your Root organization. I will issue this order soon."
Before that, you'll be confined.
After the Third finished speaking, he turned and left. Danzo stood there silently, seemingly not disappointed at all.
It may seem like they are punishing him, but in reality they are protecting him. Such an act of annihilating an entire clan is bound to incur public wrath.
What will the other clans of Konoha think?
The Uchiha has disappeared, and Root has lost its value. It should be buried deep underground again, to be brought out again when needed.
At that moment, two members of the Anbu) immediately approached, and one of them said, " Danzo, the number of bodies is incorrect."
"What?"
Several bodies have mysteriously disappeared.
At this moment, Danzo also noticed that something was wrong with another Anbu. It turned out to be Itachi in disguise, who had just been in front of the Third.
Itachi said, "I saw everything, and I will continue to watch. If you dare to lay a hand on Sasuke, I will leak all the village's secrets to the enemy country."
Quack... Quack... Quack...
The weasel transformed into a flock of crows and flew away.
"Damn it!" Danzo cursed under his breath. Itachi was completely different from Shisui; he couldn't be completely controlled by the village or the greater good.
Danzo was well aware of this.
Itachi then went to see the Third Hokage and received his promise before leaving with peace of mind.
With this, the Uchiha Clan officially withdrew from the historical stage of Konoha.
Meanwhile, after the members of the Jashin Cult retreated to a safe base, Aoki Tsuki immediately convened an awards ceremony, promoting and raising salaries for those who had performed bravely, and awarding them medals.
"Fellow believers, although the Church's attack on Konoha this time did not achieve any significant results in terms of operations."
Strategically speaking, it was undoubtedly a success, severely damaging Konoha's prestige.
Let the Shinobi World world know that Konoha isn't as strong as it seems; it's a paper tiger.
"Paper tiger, paper tiger!!" the crowd shouted excitedly.
Having just experienced a relentless pursuit by Konoha, they desperately needed an outlet for their emotions.
Aoki Tsuki raised his fist and continued, "This is a powerful counterattack against Konoha's recent widespread arrests of my sect members. If Konoha persists in its ways..."
We will continue to take retaliatory actions in the future; this time we won.
"Yes, we won. We thoroughly humiliated the Konoha Ninja."
"We won! We won!"
"We've won so badly!!"
Everyone cheered and jumped for joy, as if they had really won a battle.
During this operation, the Grand Deacon first proposed the theory of ' Winning Theory,' which became the most important guiding principle of the Jashin Cult.
Once you learn this theory, you'll keep winning.
The next morning, the residents of Konoha went out early to do their activities.
Last night, many houses were destroyed by members of the Jashin Cult, leaving many people with nowhere to sleep.
"Huh? What's that...?"
Someone discovered that the statues of the Hokage of past generations on Hokage Rock had been dyed red, and subsequently found several corpses and a diagram for worshipping Jashin on it.
"That damned Jashin Cult, how dare they humiliate our ancestors like this..."
However, even more explosive news completely diverted people's attention.
The Uchiha was wiped out overnight, with only the youngest son of the clan leader Fugaku, surviving. He confirmed that the person who massacred the clan was his older brother Uchiha Itachi.
The Hokage's office also released a statement confirming the rumor and listing Uchiha Itachi as an S-rank rogue ninja.
The news spread like wildfire, and the name " Itachi of the Clan Massacre " became known Shinobi World.
The era of the Uchiha, the most powerful clan in the Shinobi World, has come to an end.
Another announcement from Konoha strongly condemned the Jashin Cult's attack last night, explicitly defining the Jashin Cult as a cult.
The Jashin Cult were designated as terrorists and hunted down throughout the entire Shinobi World.
The Jashin Cult also issued a statement to the Shinobi World through its Exchange, claiming responsibility for last night's attack and firmly opposing Konoha's hegemonic behavior.
Konoha's actions are undoubtedly pushing them further down the wrong path; those who play with fire will get burned!
These two pieces of information quickly became the focus of heated discussion throughout the entire Shinobi World.
Ancient Tanzaku Castle.
Uchiha Izumi remained in a daze after waking up.
"From now on, you can stay here with me. Sasuke still young and doesn't understand things, so the village can accommodate him."
You're different, you should understand that, right?
"Who are you..."
"My mother was from the Uchiha Clan, my father was just an ordinary Chunin Konoha who died in the war, and my mother also died in the Nine-Tails' Disturbance."
It was only in the last year or two that I reconnected with my family due to some special reasons.
Kikuno Momo took out a scroll from her person and placed it next to Izumi, saying, "This is Ninjutsu data that the clan entrusted to me for safekeeping. You can keep it."
It was the Fire Release Ninjutsu that Uchiha had given her last time.
As Izumi looked at the documents, he recalled that during the last clan meeting, a person named Shino was mentioned.
"You must be Shino."
"Yes, that was my old name. My current name is Kikuno Momo."
Izumi nodded, relieved to confirm that they were from the Uchiha Clan. At this moment, her biggest fear was falling into an even bigger trap.
"This is the latest intelligence, take a look for yourself."
Kikuno Momo sighed, placed a piece of paper filled with information in Izumi's hand, and then left the room.
When Izumi realized that Itachi was the true culprit Uchiha Clan Massacre, her emotions, which had just calmed down, collapsed once again.
I simply cannot believe that the kind person I once was could commit such a horrific act as the massacre of his entire clan.
