The Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal
Rooftop of Konoha Hospital.
Embraced by the spacious hospital rooftop, a gentle breeze whispers through the air, bringing a touch of coolness to this tranquil space.
That open space was so quiet you could hear the wind whispering in your ear, as if foreshadowing something significant about to happen.
Kakashi and Obito quietly hid in the shadows, observing everything with sharp, wary eyes, like cheetahs lurking in the darkness.
Their gazes pierced through the vast sky, finally settling on the already bustling rooftop.
At this moment, roughly forty or fifty ninjas from the Uchiha Clan had gathered there, creating a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
They wore the uniforms of Konoha's Jonin or the distinctive black robes of the Uchiha Clan, exuding an awe-inspiring aura that commanded respect.
Everyone's face was etched with indignation and resentment, and they were extremely agitated by Koki's injury.
Among the many ninjas, a few stand out in particular.
The Uchiha Yashiro stood at the very front, his figure tall and imposing, his aura as majestic as a towering mountain, unbreakable, giving people a sense of stability and trustworthiness.
His gaze was unwavering, revealing an indomitable determination.
Behind him, several other ninjas also attracted considerable attention.
They are outstanding representatives of the Uchiha Clan, including Uchiha Tekka, Uchiha Masato Uchiha Inabi, Uchiha Shu, and each of them is Fugaku's most steadfast supporter.
These elite members of the Uchiha Clan had all reached the level of Jonin and once held important positions in the Uchiha Clan's Konoha Military Police Force.
These were the backbone of the Uchiha Clan. Fugaku placed high hopes on them, and they did not disappoint Fugaku, becoming an indispensable pillar of the Uchiha Clan.
In the history of Konoha, the Uchiha Clan was once a unique shooting star, streaking across the night sky.
Whenever a new opinion or decision is put forward within the clan, it always sparks heated discussions and a variety of opinions. Although not every proposal is met with strong opposition, it also fails to easily win widespread approval.
Such internal divisions and lack of consensus became a Damocles' sword hanging over the Uchiha Clan.
In the long-forgotten chapters of the original work, this inherent contradiction and conflict ultimately became one of the key factors leading to the demise of the Uchiha Clan.
With its members divided and unable to form a strong united front, coupled with heavy external pressure and internal betrayals, the Uchiha Clan's dream of revival became increasingly unattainable.
However, the appearance of Koki was like a ray of dawn, changing everything. They were no longer a divided and disunited group, but a closely united fighting force with a common goal.
However, today, something unexpected happened: Koki was attacked!
This sudden event acted as a fuse, igniting the deep-seated anger within the Uchiha Clan and uniting them closely together.
At this moment, the Uchiha Clan displayed unprecedented cohesion and fighting power; their unity was like an unbreakable fortress.
The Uchiha Clan still possesses a profound foundation; their Ninjutsu skills, combat experience, and long-standing family traditions are unmatched by other ninjas.
As long as the Uchiha Clan is determined and goes all out, no force in Konoha will be able to underestimate their existence.
Faced with such a powerful and united Uchiha, both the Hokage and other high-ranking officials had to re-examine their own positions.
The Uchiha of today is no longer a group easily defeated by external pressure and plagued by internal strife. Faced with such power, any enemy must reassess their position.
The Uchiha Yashiro stood as tall as a mountain, his gaze sweeping over every clan member present like a sharp arrow, finally settling on Uchiha Inabi.
Yashiro's voice echoed like a deep valley, calm yet powerful. He spoke slowly, each word firm and resolute. "Regarding this attack, has our investigation been thorough, leaving nothing overlooked?"
When faced with the Yashiro Hokage's questioning, Uchiha Inabi's eyes were firm, and his tone was filled with anger. "Captain, I can say with certainty that our investigation was comprehensive and accurate."
"The Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal' on the corpse has revealed the whole truth; this person was undoubtedly sent by Danzo."
Inabi's words were as firm as iron. His memory traced back to the past, when he had inadvertently glimpsed the same mark on the tongue of a member of the Root.
It was this glance that convinced him that the attack was part of a conspiracy by Danzo and his Root!
Danzo! In a dark corner of the hospital, a name flashed through the minds of both Kakashi and Obito.
When Uchiha Inabi mentioned the name "Danzo," both of them felt a surge of intense emotions.
Kakashi clenched his fists so tightly his knuckles turned white, and his eyes flashed with anger.
Danzo's name stirred up the deep-seated hatred and pain in his heart; he would settle both old and new scores this time!
Obito's emotions were even more intense! His body trembled slightly with anger, and the rage in his heart burned even more fiercely, like a raging fire in a storm.
His right hand involuntarily covered his left eye, where his Sharingan had gone out of control. It seemed to sense its master's emotional fluctuations and began to manifest uncontrollably.
Both men clenched their fists, trying their best to control their emotions and prevent them from exploding.
But the anger inside is like a volcano about to erupt, ready to break through the defenses of reason at any moment.
"That Danzo..." Obito muttered through gritted teeth, his voice filled with resentment and anger.
Although Kakashi remained silent, it was easy to see from his burning anger in his eyes that his hatred for Danzo was no less than that for Obito.
