Betrayal

At this moment, the crowd in the distance surged, and a large group of Konoha villagers rushed over.

Uchiha Tunan quietly shouted in the ears of several civilians: "Hand over the murderer."

The civilians heard this.

Hey, someone was leading the shouting.

He immediately shouted, "Hand over the murderer."

After two shouts, all the civilians began to shout,

"Hand over the murderer."

"Hand over the murderer."

.....

Suddenly, a discordant voice came from the Uchiha clansmen behind the Great Elder.

"I think it is more important to find the murderer. It is good for the Great Elder to prove his innocence."

"I also think We should check the memory. Otherwise, if the murderer can't be found, how can I face those children?"

"I agree."

"I agree."

"I don't agree."

...

Gradually, the Uchiha clan gradually divided into two factions.

Those with formidable strength and the same faction as the Great Elder were all speaking for the Great Elder.

On the other side, most of them were the middle - and low - Ninja of the Uchiha clan, but they also had the most number of people.

The main reason was that after this incident, Shishui had awakened two magatama.

For people with low strength and status like them, what they were most worried about was that one day, this matter would fall on their heads.

If they did not stand up this time, then when it was their turn next time, who could talk to them?

They took the family as their foundation, but that was because the family gave them enough protection and resources.

They were not treated as items that could be sacrificed at any time.

Especially when the child died in this matter, it was the future of the Uchiha family.

No matter what era or race, the most important thing was always the safety of the next generation.

The Great Elder looked at the screaming villagers in the distance, and his body trembled with anger.

Then he turned around and looked at the two sides of the team. He felt a tightness in his chest and almost couldn't get up in one breath.

Trembling, he stretched out his finger and said, "You..."

The Great Elder never thought that in front of outsiders, the people who had always been united with their families would actually betray him.

Danzo's eyes flashed with joy, and he quickly gloated:

"It seems that your Uchiha clan also thinks that this matter should be investigated by Konoha."

"Uchiha Tenzo, do you have a guilty conscience and dare not accept the investigation?"

The Great Elder looked at the distrust in the eyes of the clansmen, and with the provocation of Danzo's language, he was completely enraged.

He shouted angrily, "Nonsense! I didn't do this!"

Seeing that the Great Elder finally couldn't bear it anymore, Danzo took a step forward and aggressively said, "Then why don't you dare to accept the investigation?"

"Don't tell me that you have done a lot of things that have let Konoha down?"

The Great Elder paused for a moment, then said with a stern voice: "You are talking nonsense."

However, this sentence in Hiruzen Sarutobi's ears was obviously less confident than the previous words.

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes and made a decision in his heart.

Finally, the Hokage said in a deep voice,

"You are all villagers of Konoha, and you should abide by the rules of Konoha."

"This time, not only you, but also the villagers of Konoha, died."

"As the Hokage, I must investigate thoroughly."

"Give the villagers an explanation!"

"Now, we are going to take the suspect away for investigation. Anyone who dares to stop us is a traitor."

Most of the people of Uchiha's clan quietly took a step back, expressing their standpoint.

As for the remaining dozens of Uchiha clan's Jounin, they were all trusted aides that the Great Elder had recruited over the years.

In this vast and magnificent scene, they seemed a little weak.

The Great Elder looked around at everyone with red eyes. He clenched his fists and instantly thought a lot.

Finally, he sighed and said, "I know. Can you let me go back and clean up? There are still some things that need to be dealt with."

Danzo snorted.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said, "Yes."

The Great Elder turned around and looked at the clansmen with cold eyes.

For a moment, he had mixed feelings and staggered through the crowd.

After the Great Elder left, Danzo said to Hiruzen Sarutobi in a deep voice,

"Hiruzen, aren't you afraid that he will run away for fear of punishment?"

In front of the crowd, Uchiha Fuyue, who had been silent all this time, retorted,

"Lord Danzo, the people of Uchiha clan, there are no cowards who flee for fear of punishment."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, indicating that he believed in the Great Elder.

A moment later, the Great Elder returned to his residence, knelt down at the table, poured himself a glass of sake, and drank it all in one gulp.

His eyes were filled with memories.

According to today's situation, he would not be able to escape.

If his memories were to be investigated, the future of the Uchiha clan would be in his hands.

Fortunately, Uchiha Tunan was very likely to become the future Hokage.

And Shishui's talent was higher than Uchiha Tunan's.

After Uchiha Tunan became the Hokage, Shishui might be able to become the chief of the Uchiha clan or the Great Elder.

Presumably, after he died, Shishui might be able to awaken three magatama or kaleidoscope.

Three years old, what a shocking talent.

At this moment, the Great Elder thought it through.

"Tunan... Shishui..."

"I will leave Uchiha's future to you..."

The Great Elder murmured.

Looking at the sky outside, a relieved smile appeared on his face. His eyes seemed to see the glorious future of the Uchiha clan.

In the next second.

"Puchi ---"

The First Elder stabbed Kunai into his heart.

Before he died, the face of a person flashed in the Great Elder's mind.

"Whether you do it or not..."

"You will never escape the control of the clan..."

The Great Elder smiled like a winner. He slowly closed his eyes and lowered his head.

The moment the Great Elder died.

Uchiha Tunan felt a warm current rising from his body, spreading to his limbs and bones.

He could clearly feel his eye power rising by a large margin.

However, he still had not touched the threshold of the Mangekyou.

Old man, your strength is not bad...

After a long time, the people outside the gate of the Uchiha clan were getting impatient.

Danzo snorted and said to Hiruzen Sarutobi in a blaming tone,

"Hiruzen, that old man must have escaped."

Uchiha Fuyue glared at Danzo and said to the people next to him,

"Go and urge the Great Elder."

A moment later, the clansman ran out in panic and shouted,

"Not good, Great Elder... committed suicide..."

When the surrounding Uchiha clansmen heard the news, they were shocked.

The few people who were standing on the side of the Great Elder just now almost fell to the ground, and their hearts could not calm down for a long time.

A trace of pleasure flashed through Danzo's eyes, and he coldly snorted:

"Hmph, so he committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

This time, Uchiha Fuyue didn't refute, but remained silent.

In fact, he had already guessed that the Great Elder would do this, but he was just playing along.
