I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

After all, the other party's identity was worlds apart from that of an ANBU ninja.

No matter how arrogant the Uchiha clan is, no matter how disadvantaged the younger members are due to their age.

However, when facing this old man, they had no advantage in terms of public opinion or power.

'whispering sound.'

During that time, the disdainful snorts and the still indifferent glances were the last resistance these little guys could express.

Because they know it.

The villain who forced his own clan leader to commit suicide on the spot was none other than this seemingly kind, white-haired old man!

"Everyone, disperse."

Uchiha Naki spoke to his clansmen, whose expressions still betrayed their dissatisfaction.

To confront the Third Hokage with a blade is already a taboo act. If they were to insist on showing hostility, it would be troublesome for the clan leader.

Trouble with public opinion.

After all, all the blame will be placed on Lord Ara.

Although he knew perfectly well that the clan patriarch no longer cared about such words.

But this does not mean they are willing to hear others freely criticize their clan leader!

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the group of youngsters, who still showed hostility, glanced coldly at the ANBU ninja who was being helped out by his companion, and then dispersed to both sides of the road.

However, even after they made way and stopped, the wary and hostile expressions on their faces remained unchanged.

This situation is similar to the day of the memorial service, when the other villagers rejected and were hostile towards their clan.

There's no turning back now.

So, the only option is to keep moving forward.

Feeling the overwhelming hostility that almost filled his senses, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly took a step forward. This was the first time he had ever felt such direct and obvious hostility in the village.

Although such hostility greatly affected him, he clearly knew that blind regret was useless.

Since it's done,

Then it must be thorough!

The reason he chose to come in person at this time of evening was because he had received an urgent confidential letter from the border region:

[Uchiha Ara has appeared in the Land of Iron in the north!]

Such news was so shocking that he didn't even verify its accuracy or inform Shimura Danzo before leading a small ANBU squad to the location to personally confirm its accuracy.

If that message from the border is true, then Ara, who can evade the Anbu's surveillance and easily pass through Konoha's barrier, will be a terrifying threat!

Moreover, such doubts became increasingly clear in his mind.

Given Uchiha Ara's personality, he should have rushed out long ago when a conflict arose between the Anbu and his clansmen!

But until now, there hasn't been the slightest commotion.

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his eyelids slightly and quickened his pace.

"The clan chief is still training in the back mountain and has not yet returned. It seems we should ask the third generation to wait here, or perhaps come another day."

After a symbolic, light knock on the closed hut, Uchiha Naki replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

He was unaware of the exact whereabouts of his clan patriarch, but that did not prevent him from adapting to changing circumstances.

"Then take me there."

"I also want to see what kind of training ground Chief Huang was in, and how he grew step by step to this point."

However, such arguments were completely useless against Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Since he chose to come in person as soon as he received the message, it means he wanted to disregard all the unexpected and witness the accuracy of the message with his own eyes.

"This is not a good idea, to spy on the Uchiha clan's secret techniques."

Nai-ki, of course, would not back down easily, and even used a more emphasizing tone.

"hehe."

Hearing such doubts, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not show the slightest displeasure on the surface. His gentle laughter easily dispelled the awkwardness between them, but his true mood sank slightly.

That guy might really not be in the clan's territory.

Although the surrounding environment of the cabin suggests that it has been inhabited regularly, this is too easy to fake.

"Is this a unique kind of humor belonging to the Uchiha clan?"

"After all, I can't learn the secret techniques that require the Sharingan to activate."

"look."

The kind-faced, white-haired old man gently touched his eyes.

"Then please allow me to report to the clan chief."

Uchiha Naki still did not back down.

just,

"Hey, one of the little guys had already left by himself when I arrived. He must have gone to report."

"If we remember correctly, it should be called Uchiha Rinka?"

"Has he not delivered the message yet?"

"Or is it that Chief Huang is not in the back mountain?"

At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi's attitude shifted slightly, and his tone became more forceful.

The "back mountain" excuse was merely a pretext for him not wanting to directly expose his true intentions!

Chapter 257 Manipulating the Five Senses, Illusions Reflected in the Real World!

As the sun gradually disappeared behind the mountains, a crescent moon quietly climbed into the dusky sky.

Looking at Uchiha Naki, who was hesitant and silent in front of him, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression remained unchanged, but the words he uttered were slightly more aggressive.

"what happened?"

"Or are you mistaken? Chief Ara isn't in the back mountain right now, but in some other training ground, or perhaps at the Nanga Shrine?"

"Anywhere is fine, as long as it's within the Uchiha clan."

"Then, take me there."

Upon hearing this, Nai Shu's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead and back.

Even though the person standing in front of him was a kind-looking old man with a friendly smile on his face, why did he feel a chill run down his spine?

It's just like,

It's like facing a wolf in sheep's clothing!

In an instant, a mixture of nausea, disgust, and other unpleasant emotions welled up in Naoki's heart.

He had always believed that the village's hatred and rejection of the Uchiha clan stemmed from long-standing misunderstandings, and that if an open and honest day ever came, all the conflicts and misunderstandings would be resolved.

However, he never imagined that the source of this long-standing unresolved issue was the old man sitting in the Hokage's seat!

Yes,

Yes!

No wonder that no matter how tolerant the senior members of the police force were, and no matter how much honor the Uchiha clan won on the border, they were able to overcome the obstacles.

But Konoha will never see it!

The clan leader must have seen through all of this long ago. All his past forbearance and willingness to be used were nothing more than to protect the younger generation in the clan who were not yet capable of protecting themselves.

【but,】

Chieftain,

Sometimes you need to talk to us too, instead of carrying the whole burden alone.

"Uchiha Naki, what's wrong with you?"

The kind yet eerie question echoed in my ears once more.

This time, however, Yu Zhi felt no panic as before, only a deep sense of hostility.

"Since you insist on disturbing my clan head, then please do so."

"However, I have no idea what will happen next."

Uchiha Naki straightened her back and responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, even subtly changing the honorifics that followed her address.

From that moment on, he would only address the clan leader as "Master"!

"Show some respect to the Hokage!"

The accompanying secret agents naturally noticed the change in the young man's tone and attitude, and the threat hidden in his words seemed familiar. Their angry shouts erupted at that moment.

This time, it was the other party who started it.

The Anbu also had reason to capture this disrespectful, adult man.

"It's alright, lead the way."

"This is the pride of the Uchiha clan. It would be better to lose it."

What's frightening is that Hiruzen Sarutobi still didn't show any anger or anything unusual, and even had that same kind smile on his face!

This certainly doesn't mean he doesn't care about it at all.

Rather, it's because his top priority right now is to see Uchiha Ara!

If he did not see them, or if it was proven that they were not in the clan's territory, then he would have too many reasons to deal with this clan that had become alienated from him and from the Will of Fire!

Uchiha Naki did not answer, but turned and led the way towards the back of the mountain.

He already knew that the clan chief was definitely not in the clan territory at the moment.
