March!
After Uchiha Inabi's deep voice echoed across the rooftop, the already heated atmosphere was as if a larger incendiary bomb had been dropped on it, instantly igniting everyone's emotions.
Those Uchiha Clan, who were usually known for their calmness and arrogance, were now like enraged lions, roaring to express their indignation.
"That Danzo is a despicable scoundrel, utterly inhuman!" A Uchiha Clan who usually held his head high and rarely showed his emotions was now gritting his teeth, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles cracked from the force.
"How could that old Danzo lay a hand on a child?" A middle-aged ninja angrily waved his arm, his eyes flashing with rage.
"We've watched Koki grow up, how could he be so cruel?"
"That's right, Koki is so smart and kind; she is the future hope of our clan."
Another ninja clenched his fists, his voice filled with grief and indignation, "Danzo dared to hurt him! This is an insult to our entire Uchiha Clan!"
"We can't just let this go!" a young ninja interjected excitedly, his face full of determination.
"We must avenge Koki! We must Danzo that the Uchiha Clan is not to be trifled with!"
"Yes, he must pay the price!"
"Danzo's actions have crossed the line; we cannot stand idly by."
The Uchiha Yashiro stood quietly in the center of the rooftop, surrounded by a tidal wave of angry shouts.
He slowly closed his eyes, and the image of Koki involuntarily appeared in his mind.
The child's innocent smile was as bright and warm as the sunshine; every movement and every laugh of his was full of vitality and hope for the future.
However, all these bright prospects Danzo's cunning scheme.
"Are we just going to swallow this insult?" A voice echoed in Yashiro's heart, a cry from the depths of his own soul, and a roar of fury from the entire Uchiha Clan.
How could they so easily accept Koki's unfortunate fate? How could they let Danzo unpunished?
Some things are absolutely intolerable, and some hatreds can never be let go.
"Inabi, you must protect the body well; absolutely no problems can occur."
Yashiro looked solemnly at Inabi and said in a heavy tone, "This corpse is crucial evidence in our indictment of Danzo; we cannot afford to make the slightest mistake."
"Yes!" Inabi nodded vigorously, his face also full of solemnity.
"Danzo has gone too far!" Yashiro's voice was filled with boundless grief and indignation.
"Our Uchiha Clan has always held immense tolerance towards Konoha, showing remarkable forbearance. We relinquished the power of the Konoha Military Police Force and even sacrificed our own interests, all for the sake of maintaining the village's peace and stability."
"Yet now, Danzo is even targeting an innocent child like Koki! His actions are a blatant provocation of our bottom line and a wanton trampling of our dignity!"
Yashiro's words were like a sharp sword, deeply piercing the hearts of all the clansmen present. Their eyes flashed with anger, and they echoed Yashiro's words, plunging the entire scene into a heated atmosphere.
Yashiro's emotions grew increasingly agitated, his voice rising higher and higher. "Danzo's actions have exceeded the limits of our tolerance! He's issuing a declaration of war against us; he's forcing us to our doom!"
Yashiro suddenly raised his arms and waved them in the air, his movements full of power and determination, as if to release the anger in his heart.
He shouted, "Are we just going to let Uchiha Danzo and our clan leader like this?"
A fierce anger ignited in the eyes of the tribesmen, and they responded in unison, their voices loud and resolute, as awe-inspiring as thunder.
"No!" This roar represented their deep-seated discontent and resistance.
Yashiro noticed that it was getting late and night was gradually falling.
The streets of Konoha were still brightly lit and bustling with activity.
At this time, it was peak season in Konoha, and the streets were bustling with people, with various sounds mingling together to create a noisy background.
The Uchiha Yashiro turned around, his eyes flashing with determination.
He understood that now was the time to act, and there was no time to delay any longer.
He decided to cause a huge disturbance, the bigger the better, so that the entire Konoha would be shaken!
He wanted to use this method to let everyone in Konoha and all the families know that the Konoha's higher-ups had actually harmed an innocent child.
This child is the son of the Uchiha Clan leader!
He wanted to see how the Third Hokage Danzo handle the situation, no matter how good Third Hokage's relationship with him was.
Yashiro took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes.
"Everyone!" Yashiro's voice was clear and powerful, as if it could penetrate the hearts of everyone present.
His gaze was firm and resolute. After Danzo around, he continued, "As an advisor to Konoha, Danzo's actions have seriously violated the village's principles and our trust."
He paused briefly, seemingly waiting for everyone to process the meaning of his words, before continuing, "We'll go to the Hokage Building now and ask the Third Hokage directly what Koki did wrong to deserve this treatment."
The Yashiro Hokage was well aware that although the Third Hokage was known for his benevolence and tolerance, when dealing with internal village conflicts, he often took a more macro perspective, closely linking individual events with the overall position of the clan.
While this approach helps maintain the overall stability of the village, it may cause more misunderstandings and prejudices for the Uchiha Clan, who are in the eye of the storm.
Therefore, when planning this operation, the Yashiro deliberately did not inform Uchiha Fugaku, their clan leader, beforehand.
The Yashiro didn't want Fugaku to be in a dilemma, but he was also threatened by the Third Hokage and had to consider his relationship with the Hokage and the village.
On the rooftop of Konoha Hospital, the Uchiha Yashiro stood straight before his clansmen, his body as upright as a pine tree, his eyes revealing determination and composure.
His voice echoed through the crowd, clear and powerful, as if it could penetrate everyone's hearts, allowing everyone to hear every word he spoke clearly.
"Everyone," Yashiro began slowly, his voice deep and magnetic, carrying an undeniable air of authority.
"I want to clarify something for everyone. The actions we've taken today are entirely of our own volition. This is not a protest or challenge to authority on behalf of the entire Uchiha Clan; we are simply expressing our innermost desires as individuals."
"We understand, Yashiro." People nodded in agreement, their expressions serious and earnest, their eyes shining with determination.
The Uchiha Yashiro stood at the forefront of his clansmen, his figure appearing exceptionally resolute in the afterglow of the setting sun. He exuded a powerful aura that captivated all who beheld him.
"Follow me!" Yashiro's voice was loud and powerful. He swung his arm forward sharply, as if drawing an invisible trajectory in the air, guiding his people forward.
"Set off!"
"Stay close to Captain Yashiro!"
The tribespeople responded loudly, their voices intertwining like rivers converging, forming an unstoppable force that impacted everyone's hearts.
And so, the Uchiha Yashiro raised his arm and led his clansmen to the Hokage Building to begin a march.
Just as they were about to step off the rooftop, Yashiro's gaze involuntarily swept over two lonely corners.
He frowned slightly, but ultimately chose to remain silent.
