but.

However, the defeat I'm talking about isn't like that at all!

Sharingan, Body Flicker Technique—Uchiha Ara didn't even use these well-known trump cards. All his attacks were simply the most basic and straightforward blade slashes!

Could it be?

Is this the level of the elite force that the Third Hokage so-called, the nameless ones who guard the shadows of Konoha?

How could someone not even grip their weapon tightly when facing an eleven-year-old boy?

In particular, when the other party uttered the sentence, "You who cower in Konoha and accept the protection of the Uchiha are really weak," it instantly resonated with the onlookers.

And it wasn't just the residents; even the ninjas who rushed to the scene later all chose to remain silent after hearing such questions and seeing such a situation.

Without the Uchiha clan, the vacant eastern border allowed them to truly experience the terror of Kirigakure.

Those were a group of true assassins bathed in a blood mist!

They were a pack of tireless, vicious wolves, relentlessly oppressed by their superiors, constantly eyeing the borders of the Land of Fire!

No one knows why Kirigakure is so relentlessly targeting Konoha.

No one knows when this garrison duty and rotation will end.

However, they knew perfectly well that if they became careless, if their defensive positions were left unguarded, those blood-covered assassins would easily sneak up behind them and slit their throats with cold ninja tools.

without any exaggeration.

When the Konoha ninjas who had just arrived here to carry out their garrison duties encountered the surging, overwhelming fog, they could only wait for death in despair.

Even more so, those Hidden Mist ninjas who travel with the mist would, while hunting indiscriminately, mock Konoha's incompetence and ridicule that, apart from the Uchiha, this vast power had no one who could be considered capable!

Such biting mockery and blatant disdain only fueled the anger of the Konoha ninjas who already harbored unwarranted hatred towards the Uchiha clan.

Not as good as the Uchiha?

Those guys are just here because they've been stationed here longer, know the terrain better, and possess the Sharingan, a special bloodline limit that allows them to sense chakra.

Without these, wouldn't they still be just ordinary people?

But a year later.

The stalemate continues!

Even with the guidance of the Hyuga Byakugan and the support of the Aburame clan's insects.

Even during this period, turmoil occurred within the Land of Water.

However, when the unrest was quelled and they faced the skilled assassins of the Hidden Mist Ninja again, these naive individuals were suppressed to the point of barely being able to defend themselves, let alone fight back.

Only then did these ninjas, who had been content within the village and the Land of Fire, truly recognize the power of the Uchiha clan and understand the nature of the enemy they were facing!

That unparalleled prowess in conquering the Land of Water with the strength of his entire clan is a feat that is difficult to match!

【Instantly stop the water! 】

【Blood Asura Wasteland!】

Behind these two titles, brimming with chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur), lies the sheer terror of Kirigakure!

But that’s the kind of person he is.

This very clan was inexplicably ostracized by almost all the ninjas, clans, and even the residents they were under protection in Konoha.

even........

They were also under 24-hour surveillance by the secret service.

If not, it's desolate.

If the current head of the Uchiha clan hadn't revealed it himself, they wouldn't have known such a thing had happened!

"The Anbu has gone too far!"

Suddenly, such whispers rang out.

Although the speaker's voice was not loud, it sounded exceptionally clear in the sudden silence.

Yes.

Let alone a clan.

Even a prisoner cannot withstand 24-hour continuous surveillance!

Moreover, the Uchiha are not only not criminals, but also part of Konoha, their comrades, and heroes who guard the border!

But they were treated like this?

Is this how the Anbu protect Konoha?

"Is this how you treat the powerful clans who guard the border, protect the Land of Fire, and protect Konoha?"

"What other inhumane things has the Anbu done? Are they taking advantage of the Hokage's power?"

"They can't even hold onto ninja tools properly in the Anbu; all they've learned is backstabbing and excluding their comrades. Tsk tsk tsk, oh, right..."

"I've heard that the Anbu are very interested in the power that the Konoha Police Department once held."

Human imagination is boundless.

With just a small switch or a small push, it can become uncontrollable, like a raging flood.

At this moment, they all forgot the glorious achievements of the Dark Division and the unwavering loyalty of its members.

This situation is reminiscent of the Uchiha clan's triumphant return after their great victory over the Land of Water, where their unparalleled glory was casually ignited by someone with ulterior motives and instantly burned to ashes.

of course.

Amidst this escalating outcry, it's unclear how many are genuinely indignant and sympathetic to the Uchiha clan, how many are passive bystanders trying to claim the moral high ground, and how many are deliberate acts by foreign spies.

And this is not something Huang should be concerned about.

but.

It sounds quite pleasant.

At this moment, he casually gripped the neck of the last member of the dark squad, murmuring softly:

"It feels kind of familiar."

"What do you think?"

"Zhu?"

A strange, cold smile played on Huang's face.

He recognized the last member of the Dark Guard; to be precise, he recognized the mask the man was wearing.

It was that guy who was driven away that night to inform Hiruzen Sarutobi to release the Netherfire.

Upon hearing this, Zhu did not answer, nor could he answer.

He desperately tried to remove the hand that was binding him, but the invisible pressure imposed on him reduced his strength to less than one-tenth.

"Is this the power of the Dark Guard?"

"Is Konoha protected by these guys?"

"The Uchiha clan of the past were far superior to these good-for-nothings!"

ear.

More and more outrageous and disappointing words rang out.

But Zhu was truly powerless.

Unable to refute, unable to break free.

Even if he really wanted to say that it wasn't that he was weak, or that the Anbu were weak, it was that this boy who inherited the Uchiha surname was too strong!

Can........

Even if you can say it, what's the point?

People only believe what they see and what they think.

Gradually, Zhu gave up resisting and stopped struggling.

The voices and harsh words imposed upon him began to cause him to feel lost.

In a daze, he recalled the other party's hysterical interrogation a year ago:

"I just want to remind you not to make your own actions and the mudslinging around sound so noble."

'Who arranged for that resident to make false accusations? Who instigated them? Don't you, your secret service and your direct superiors, have any idea?'

Zhu didn't know why she remembered the other person's words at this moment.

I don't know why I can remember it so clearly.

Was it because of the hatred that arose that night?

It was because he wanted to one day prove to the other party in person that the Anbu, and to prove that the Third Hokage, had not done those despicable things.

but now.

When these rumors flooded his ears, Zhu became somewhat uncertain.

On that day, I suddenly felt the same way about the Uchiha being questioned and ridiculed.

A family that has been successfully monitored 24/7.

Capture Uchiha clan members who uphold the honor of their clan.

Did they really do something wrong?

But this is the Hokage's order!

Aren't ninjas meant to command and execute absolute orders?

As he watched Zhu's eyes gradually dim and she become lost and dejected, the mockery in Huang's eyes slowly faded.

"Boring."

Contemptuous words came from his mouth.

Just as he was about to discard it, a surge of chakra burst forth from the crowd, accompanied by a deep roar:
