Chapter 134: The picture shows the dagger

Chapter 134: The picture shows the dagger

The jonin Iwagakure Ninja's eyes widened as he spoke, and the throbbing blood vessels forced his temples to beat rhythmically.

After all, from the perspective of the Iwagakure ninja, they were indeed innocent victims this time.

While the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth were in a non-war state, Konoha secretly sent an Uchiha clansman who was extremely talented and proficient in illusions to quietly reach the hinterland of Iwagakure Village.

According to the information the Third Tsuchikage Onoki bought from a mercenary organization, Shunshin Shisui, known as the top master of Uchiha, came just for the tailed beasts.

Nearly ten years ago, a Nine-Tails Rebellion caused Konoha to lose the powerful Fourth Hokage and his wife. Konohagakure immediately became unworthy of the title of the leader of the five great ninja villages. Only then did the Kumogakure ninja kidnap Hyuga Hinata three years later.

Considering that Uchiha Shisui probably had the same eyes as Uchiha Madara and could easily control the tailed beast to reproduce the Nine-Tails Attack Night, Onoki made a prompt decision and relied on the intelligence provided by the mercenaries to send Ten Thousand Iwagakure Ninja attack, chase and intercept Shisui

But it turned out that Uchiha Shisui was so strong at a young age that - he used the Mangekyo Sharingan's technique to control the four-tailed Jinchūriki, causing the death and injury of three or four thousand Iwagakure ninjas. The most unbearable thing is that he escaped in the end!

For Iwagakure Ninja, how humiliating is this result?!

Even the Iwagakure Ninja, who had the largest number of ninjas, could not afford such a huge loss.

Although the Iwagakure ninjas wanted to seek justice, they lost one-sixth of their manpower and a tailed beast, so they naturally did not have the confidence to challenge Konoha, so they could only break their teeth and swallow them.

But at this time, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki told them that the Kumogakure ninja, who had a grudge against the Iwagakure ninja, planned to get involved. If the two villages unite to attack Konoha's for sending people to control the jinchuriki, they will definitely be able to get a piece of fat.

It was doubtful that Kumogakure Ninja was willing to help, but taking advantage of others' misfortune was their usual style. Moreover, it is true that the Kumogakure Ninja Village deeply hates the Iwagakure Ninja Village because of what happened to the Third Raikage; but on the other hand, the Iwagakure Village's attitude towards the Kumogakure Village is no different from their attitude towards Konoha. After What Uchiha Shisui did to them, Konoha became the first one on the list of enemies.

Driven by anger and hatred, the top leaders of the Iwagakure Ninja did not hesitate and immediately agreed to this joint operation: as long as it can make up for some losses, it is better than anything else.

In order to show the uncompromising attitude of Iwagakure Ninja, all members of this mission had at least one relative who died at the hands of Uchiha Shisui.

Especially the leader, Jōnin Ashito. Two of his three sons were slashed into the mountain by the green Susanoo; the youngest son was still in school, but because he couldn't accept it, he had become crazy...

But even so, Onoki still asked Ashito to put the mission first.

Before leaving, the Third Tsuchikage said: "In order to prevent Konoha from being monolithic, instead of pointing your guns at the Hokage and the senior officials this time, it is better to go directly to the Uchiha clan to ask for people. The senior officials of Konoha are facing two villages. The pressure exerted together will definitely find a scapegoat to divert attention. This was the case with the White Fang of Konoha back then, and it was also the case with the Hyuga clan. Now in Uchiha, there will be no exception…"

"Only by dividing them and increasing their internal differences can we get the maximum benefit. "

And this is why Iwagakure Ninja came to Uchiha Fugaku as soon as he came up.

However, in order to cover up the real losses of Iwagakure Village, he still downplayed the losses caused by Uchiha Shisui, so as to prevent the weak Iwagakure Village from being destroyed by Kumogakure. They were worried about Kumogakure Village that it will stab Iwagakure Village in the back.

Unfortunately, Iwagakure Ninja, who had not fought against the Uchiha forces in three ninja wars, did not know these people well enough.

"Uchiha shisui, who killed hundreds of our Iwagakure ninjas must be killed today! "

When he yelled this sentence with extremely real emotions, Iwagakure Ninja wanted to see panic on Uchiha Fugaku's face.

But he didn't expect that when almost all the other Konoha jounin showed horrified expressions, only this somewhat fat Uchiha clan leader was actually unmoved at all.

The dozen or so security team members who were maintaining order disappeared one after another, used the teleportation technique to come behind Uchiha Fugaku, and opened a pair of cold-blooded Scarlet eyes like those of human predators.

The murderous intent of those Iwagakure ninjas directed at Uchiha Fugaku was multiplied several times and sent back.

"Be careful! "

Iwagakure Ninja gave an order, and all the members of the mission, including Kumogakure ninjas, took out their weapons and lowered their heads, staring at the torso of the security team members instead of their faces. The scene suddenly fell into deathly silence.

Including the civilians who were still digesting Iwagakure Ninja's words, they stood nervously and did not dare to move.

"With such courage, do you dare to challenge us Uchiha? "

The first person to speak was not Fugaku, who had a heroic expression on his face, but Uchiha Tekka, who was his deputy.

He took a step forward past Fugaku, and the envoys of Iwagakure Ninja and Kumogakure Ninja also took a step back simultaneously.

This made Uchiha Tekka look at them with an even more contemptuous expression.

"One person slaughtered hundreds of people. You should keep it a secret and chew it in you heart. But you came to the door like a complaining child?"

"Do you think that we are like the Kazekage who will hand over Shisui like that female ninja named Pakura to let you relieve your anger? Or do you think that if you bring this group of mentally retarded fools with strong limbs from the north, we will be like six years ago..."

"That's enough."

Before Uchiha Tekka could finish speaking, Uchiha Fugaku stopped him.

Although I have always disliked what the Hyuga clan did back then, there is no need to tell this old incident in front of outsiders.

Uchiha Tekka was not annoyed at being interrupted. He smiled maliciously at Iwagakure Ninja and returned behind Fugaku.

Fugaku spoke.

"I don't know why Shisui did this, or even whether he did this..."

"What do you mean?!" Maybe it's because Uchiha Fugaku is the only one who didn't open his Sharingan and They(Kumo & Iwa ninja) were not afraid of him, he immediately asked: "Do you think we are talking nonsense?"

"We all know that lying is just commonthing for ninjas."

Fugaku said in a slow voice as a matter of course: "Besides, what if this thing is true?"

As soon as these words came out, the messengers from the two villages truly realized what kind of group the Uchiha people were.

Uchiha Fugaku's emotionless eyes scanned the faces of these people one by one.

"This is the cruel world of ninjas. Since you are losers, what right do you have to shout? You should understand this from the day you get your forehead protector. Also, I will put my words here today... "

Uchiha Fugaku turned around, obviously these words were not addressed to the envoys of the two countries, but to the jonin and senior officials of Konoha.

"Uchiha is a clan that thrives and loses. Threatening one Uchiha is threatening all Uchiha. There is no essential difference. I don't know if Shisui did this or why he did it...but as long as he didn't betray the clan, we will never betray him! "

Hyuga Hiashi, one of the row of ninja clan chiefs, had a clearly sad look on his face, and the Hyuga ninjas on the surrounding roofs who were responsible for monitoring the mission throughout the whole process were also touched. "According to what you say..."

Iwagakure Ninja gritted his teeth and said, "Does Konoha want to start a war with us? "

There was a boom.

It was as if a thunderbolt hit everyone's mind.

The onlookers suddenly exploded.

"You want war? "

But Uchiha Fugaku's voice was louder than all of them.

When he turned around, a red light burst out from his eyes, and three black tomoe slowly rotated.

"A junior of Uchiha can kill hundreds of you, you just lost your temper and came to make trouble in front of our house..."

He paused, his voice was slow and full of oppression, "If you want war, then you Iwagakure ninjas should already be prepared to sacrifice thousands more. Are you prepared to become extinct?! "

The invisible pressure spread out with Uchiha Fugaku's sight.

Everyone in front of him felt as if a cold spider was crawling on their backs, and their throats tightened a lot.

At this moment everyone had only one thought in their minds - the person in front of them definitely has the ability to kill them all in an instant.

"One Iwagakure Village is not enough..."

Cold sweat dripped from the representative of the Kumogakure Village, and his eyes turned to Mitokado Homura, who was at a loss: "What about our Kumogakure Village? Are you, Konoha, ready to face two countries at the same time?"

Mitokado Homura, who had been a fool for a long time, finally came to his senses and quickly explained loudly: "Don't misinterpret our meaning! Just Uchiha cannot represent the whole of Konoha..." "

"Then at least give us an explanation first. "

The representative of Kumogakure Village walked to Iwagakure Ninja and stood side by side with him, "When the two countries are not at war, sending ninjas to other people's homes to rampage and kill them, doesn't this mean to declare war? You can send Uchiha Shisui to the Kingdom of Earth today, but can't you send him to our Kingdom of Thunder to cause trouble tomorrow? Or, "Is this exactly the Third Hokage's strategy to weaken us..."

"This is definitely not the Hokage's order! "

Mitokado Homura nervously held his glasses that had slipped due to sweat, turned around and asked: "Chief Fugaku, what is going on? Why did Uchiha Shisui do this? "

Once other countries think that this behavior is Konoha's strategy and everyone is in danger, Konoha will really become the enemy of the whole world.

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head: " We don't even know the cause and effect of this thing. There's no need to explain anything, it's hard to tell whether it's true or not…"

"We have evidence!"

Iwagakure Ninja retorted loudly: "But are you sure you want to watch it here? "

Uchiha Fugaku stared at him deeply, and then said to Mitokado Homura: "I only know that Shisui went to the Kingdom of Water this time to perform a root mission. Everyone knows this child Shisui. He is definitely not the kind of character who kills hundreds of people at every turn. "

"You mean..."

Mitokado Homura shuddered: "Danzo?!"

[Could it be him...]

But then I thought about it, even Danzo would not dare to do something that might cause a war without telling Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Go find it. "

Mitokado Homura waved his finger and pointed at an ANBU under his command, "Ask him to explain clearly what kind of mission he gave Uchiha Shisui! "

"yes. "

The ANBU took the order and left.

The jounin present were extremely disappointed with Mitokado Homura's timid performance. On the contrary, Danzo Shimura, who has the most insidious style and the toughest attitude, may not be able to do it now. There is still some hope.

Before Danzo, the insider, arrived, everyone froze in front of the gate of Konoha.

Uchiha Fugaku closed his eyes and disdained to talk to these losers who came to complain; the envoys of the two countries were attracted by Fugaku. The attitude was so difficult that they were each struggling with what to do next to achieve the goal of eating a piece of fat.

But what they didn't know was that the mission's visit to ask for an explanation was just a superficial move. The Kages of the two countries had reached an agreement with Shimura Danzo a long time ago...

At this time, about sixty jounin from both countries were waiting for the signal from the root ninja on the outskirts of Konoha's Death Forest.

Among the crowd, Sasuke, who was not sure what was going on, was completely lost.

Giyu, who felt uncomfortable even fighting with his peers, went to Yugakure Village and chopped off the heads of dozens or hundreds of people.

Brother Shisui, who had the nicest and gentlest personality in the clan, went on a killing spree in Iwagakure Village, almost Starting a war.

[Why, they are all doing something that is not like what they would do at all!]

At this moment, he noticed his father with his Sharingan open and tilted towards him.

Fugaku did not open his mouth, but a line of subtitles appeared out of thin air in Sasuke's field of vision.

"Don't wander around after the ceremony. After you will go home with your mother, stay with the clan."

Obviously, Uchiha Fugaku had also expected it. I am afraid that today's matter will not end so easily.

Sasuke clenched his fists and nodded heavily, as if there was a whale churning in his stomach.

About ten minutes later, the ANBU directly under Mitokado Homura came back.

"Danzo-sama said that this matter is very complicated and not suitable for public discussion in such a place."

The ANBU reported: "He has made preparations and hopes that the leaders and deputies of the envoys of the two countries and the leaders of the major ninja clans, as well as the Jonin representatives from the village, will come to the Hokage Building for a detailed discussion. As for the members of the delegation, please go to the embassy to rest beforehand."

Upon hearing this, the envoys from the two countries immediately got into a fuss.

"Why?"

"Just four of us, who knows what you will do!"

The emissary representatives of Iwagakure Village and Kumogakure Village sat back and watched their men noisy and had no intention of taking risks alone.

"Danzo-sama said that the matter may involve the secrets of various countries. If you are unwilling to compromise, then please go back home."

The Anbu said calmly, causing the two envoys to shut up immediately.

Then he looked at the representatives of Iwagakure Village and Kumogakure Village : "He asked me to tell you that Konoha is a village that upholds the concept of peace, and will definitely abide by diplomatic etiquette and will never harm you. Regarding Uchiha Shisui, He will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"In that case." Iwagakure Ninja snorted coldly, "Then let's talk about it there."

After saying this, he led his deputies past the Jonin of Konoha. With the guidance, he walked towards the Hokage Building. The representatives and deputies of the Kumogakure Village followed leisurely.

" You guys take the envoys to the embassy to rest."

Mitokado Homura finally breathed a sigh of relief when Danzo was willing to take over the stall. He looked at the jonin and clan leaders of Konoha, "Let's go too."

At this time, the ANBU said again: "Danzo-sama said that there is no need for the Hyuga clan leader to come."

Hyuga Hiashi was not surprised.

Last night, Danzo said that he had sent someone to deliver a message, "Even if three Hyuga ninjas are keeping an eye on one, we must keep a close eye on these people." In the coming time, he will be responsible for monitoring the missions of the two countries.

Although it is somewhat overkill, allowing the Hyuga clan to perform such a task can be regarded as a way to show their attitude.

Mitokado Homura glanced at Uchiha Fugaku worriedly, and rushed to the Hokage Building with a large number of people.

Fugaku stood there until everyone else was gone, then he and Uchiha Tekka settled down and said: "After you evacuate the residents, immediately call all the security team members back to the clan."

"Just like three years ago? "

Uchiha Tekka is referring to the "Iron Curtain" period between Konoha and Uchiha after the Uchiha Flame disappeared.

"I always feel that things will be very troublesome this time."

Uchiha Fugaku sighed tiredly without anyone else, "If I don't come back before 12 o'clock tonight, you know what to do."

"Is it that serious?"

Uchiha Mikoto held his hand and asked worriedly.

"What Shisui did is indeed not like the tasks that the Third Generation would assign to him."

Fugaku shook his head, "Now facing the threat of war between two countries, a large part of the responsibility will eventually be thrown on Uchiha."

He glanced at the civilians who were already panicking because they thought a war was coming, and many of them were already glaring at the guards.

As Mitokado Homura said, Uchiha are not afraid of war, but they do not represent the entire Konoha.

"It's a pity that the relationship between the clan and the outside world has finally improved. But once we become the culprits of the war because of this incident, we will immediately become enemies of everyone. If this really happens, the matter will be at its most serious..."

Fugaku's voice was fierce, as if he had returned to three years ago, and he said decisively: "We must not sit still and wait for death!"

"Understood." Tekka nodded, calling the other security members to leave immediately.

A trace of fear for the future flashed in Uchiha Mikoto's eyes: "Fugaku, you..."

"Take care of the children, I have to go."

Fugaku reached out and pressed his wife's shoulder, "Do you know where Itachi went?"

Mikoto said uncertainty: "Maybe he was feeding those crows at Shisui's house..."

"Find him." Fugaku said in a heavy tone: "Take Sasuke and stay with the tribe. Don't separate."

After saying this, Uchiha Fugaku turned and left, heading to the Hokage Building alone.

A rally to welcome "peace" ended like this, and everyone headed home uneasy.

Standing in the crowd, Sasuke noticed sensitively that the look many people looked at him became similar to the look they looked at the kid who stole things in the class before, as if he had made some mistake.

At this moment, he felt a cold loneliness like never before.

"Ignore those guys."

Naruto was very familiar with that look, and lightly punched Sasuke's vest, "Don't worry too much. Even if no one plays with you in school in the future, I will not abandon you."

" Do you still want to talk nonsense!"

Sasuke replied with half gratitude and half annoyance. He noticed that his mother was walking in the direction of him and immediately understood that it was impossible to train with Naruto today.

"I heard about Giyu at noon today at Ichiraku Ramen."

Sasuke seized the moment and said quickly: "If I can come out tomorrow, I will tell you in detail."

After saying this, Mikoto walked up to him, she said hello to Naruto and Hinata and left with Sasuke.

Seeing Naruto staring intently at Sasuke's back, his brows frowning more and more, Hinata stammered: " It will be fine..."

"But I always feel panicked, as if something big is going on. Something big is going to happen."

Naruto touched his belly. He hadn't felt like this for a long time since Kyojuro came to Konoha.

Little did he know, it was just the Kyuubi in his stomach that was regretting why as soon as it returned to land, it had canceled the clone it had left with Giyu, and now it didn't even have the means to notify him.

"What if something really happened to that brat's family..."

Thinking of the scene when Giyu and Orochimaru were fighting, and the sudden change of emotions in Giyu when he saw the Sharingan in the experimental base, Kyuubi felt flustered for no reason.

It was afraid that when Giyu was angered, he would fight in Konoha, even forgetting the existence of Uzumaki Naruto, and the aftermath of a casual slash could kill the brat...

On the other side.

Without saying a word, Uchiha Mikoto took Sasuke to Shisui's residence, wanting to see if Itachi was there.

Because Shisui's relationship with his clan has always been delicate, and he raised many noisy crows, his residence was at the outermost edge of the clan's territory. Except for Itachi and Giyu, no one usually comes here.

But when Uchiha Mikoto opened the courtyard door, she was surprised to find that it was not Itachi waiting inside, but four masked ninjas.

"Anbu?"

Through the mask, Uchiha Mikoto couldn't see the sight of these people, and it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, so she immediately protected Sasuke behind her.

"It's the root."

After the root ninja corrected him, he said straight to the point: "Uchiha Mikoto, Danzo-sama wants to see you. Come with us."

"Now?"

Hearing the word "root", Uchiha Mikoto paused. The vigilance in my heart was raised to a higher level.

"As for Danzo, shouldn't he be meeting with the delegation at the Hokage Building now?"

Without answering Uchiha Mikoto's question, the root ninja just expected it and reached out to pick up a ninja sword from the stone table and pointed it at her and Sasuke.

"That's my brother's ninja sword!"

Sasuke was very familiar with Itachi's weapon, and his eyes immediately became ferocious, "Why is Itachi's weapon in your hands?"

Uchiha Mikoto's face was pale, as if her heart was tightly squeezed Invisible hands. She felt dizzy, and the edges of her vision seemed to be covered with a thin layer of black mist.

"Uchiha Itachi is under investigation at the root."

The root ninja put the ninja sword back, "As a mother, you must want to see his current situation."

"You guys," Uchiha Mikoto thought of all the rumors about the roots, her Sharingan suddenly opened, and she asked in a cold voice: "What did you do to Itachi?"

The root ninja waved his hand, "Please calm down. Even if we tell the truth. You won't believe it unless you see it with your own eyes, right?"

Uchiha Mikoto frowned, "Then I'll send Sasuke home first..."

"Sorry, time is urgent, the two countries' envoys are waiting for an explanation. Either you come with us now..."

The root ninja refused without thinking. "Or, we can only take you away by force."

He raised his palms and four more masked ninja appeared behind Uchiha Mikoto.
