When they become villains in Konoha, the female ninjas all break down.

You're saying you're not yourself?

What about the evidence?

After a slight hesitation, Danzo recounted the report from the Root ninja to the people in the office, and then said:

"I now even strongly suspect that this whole thing was orchestrated by the Uchiha clan themselves."

“That’s impossible,” Minato Namikaze said in a deep voice. “What evidence do you have?”

"This is clearly extortion."

After an angry snort, Danzo continued:

"They want to take advantage of the village's peace talks with Kumogakure to extort money from us."

It was always Danzo who plotted against others.

This time, I was inexplicably framed.

This naturally infuriated him.

Although he vaguely sensed that there might be other forces involved behind the scenes.

But right now he has to turn his attention to the Uchiha.

As for how the investigation is conducted privately, that's another matter.

Danzo's words made the Third Hokage, who had been silent all along, somewhat irritated.

The peace talks between Konoha and Kumogakure are not going well.

The conflict ended several months ago.

However, the representatives of both sides still have many differences on how to sign a peace agreement.

As the one who was ambushed, Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the initiator of the peace talks, had already put a lot of pressure on him.

If further concessions are made on the terms.

Even with his prestige as the Third Hokage, that's still impressive.

However, this did not suppress the criticism within the village.

However, Yunyin was very stubborn and refused to budge on the issue of compensation.

The young Fourth Hokage naturally did not back down in the slightest.

This only made things more difficult for the third generation.

Setting down his pipe, Hiruzen Sarutobi said firmly:

"We must give the Uchiha an explanation for this matter. I don't want any chaos to occur in the village during the peace talks."

Danzo's gaze turned cold as he asked, "What explanation do you want to give them?"

The Third Hokage also knew that he couldn't push Danzo too hard, otherwise it might backfire, so he said:

"Have your men go and explain things to Fugaku in person. I believe Fugaku won't do anything foolish."

Danzo's eyes narrowed to slits, but he finally nodded. "I will make the arrangements."

Under Danzo's arrangement.

The Root ninja who killed Uchiha Yu soon appeared in the Uchiha clan's territory.

His appearance immediately caused a huge uproar.

If it weren't for clan leader Fugaku Uchiha personally intervening...

I'm afraid he'll die in the Uchiha clan's siege before he even reaches their mansion.

After leading him to a secret room.

Fugaku Uchiha kept only Shisui and drove all the other clan members out.

After all the clansmen had left, Fugaku, arms crossed, coldly asked:

What is the purpose of your visit?

Without hesitation, the Root ninja recounted the entire incident to Fugaku and Shisui in detail, adding at the end:

"I was worried that the mastermind behind it would kill me to silence me, so I didn't stay to explain."

Upon hearing this, Fugaku and Shisui immediately fell into deep thought.

If this Root ninja wasn't lying.

That makes things complicated.

This indicates that besides some incompetent high-ranking officials in the village, there is another force secretly targeting the Uchiha clan.

After pondering for a while, Fugaku Uchiha asked directly:

"So, you and Uchiha Yu were both manipulated?"

The Root ninja nodded.

Fugaku Uchiha then asked, "Can you identify what kind of technique it is? For example, is it some kind of genjutsu? Or some kind of secret technique like the Shadow Imitation Technique?"

The Root ninja shook his head with a somewhat embarrassed expression and said, "I'm sorry, I can't tell."

Fugaku frowned, a fierce glint appearing in his eyes.

Clearly, he did not believe the Root ninja's words.

At that moment, Shisui suddenly activated his Sharingan, the three tomoe spinning rapidly, and asked the Root ninja in a deep voice:

"Was everything you just said the truth?"

The Root ninja, who had unknowingly fallen under Shisui's genjutsu, replied somewhat blankly, "I was telling the truth."

Shisui nodded to Fugaku: "He wasn't lying!"

Fugaku Uchiha asked, "What do you think?"

Zhi Shui answered almost without hesitation:

“Someone is trying to stir up conflict between our Uchiha clan and the village. Clan leader, we must not fall for their tricks.”

Fugaku waved his hand wearily, "Send him out."

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, outside the mansion...

He learned that the murderer who killed his daughter had arrived in the clan's territory.

Shinichi Uchiha was extremely excited.

In his mind, now that the other party had stepped into his clan's territory, he could avenge his great grudge immediately.

I have done my best to protect the clan chief for so many years.

Even his wife died on the battlefield protecting the clan chief.

The clan chief will surely make him take revenge.

squeak...

At that moment, the gate of the mansion slowly opened.

Shinichi Uchiha, who had been waiting outside the door, stared intently at the Root ninja who had followed Shisui out.

A pair of Sharingan eyes were unconsciously activated.

Upon seeing Uchiha Shinichi waiting outside the door, Shisui's expression darkened, and he said apologetically:

"Uncle Shinichi, things aren't as you think. Please don't act impulsively."

Upon hearing this, Shinichi Uchiha paused, seemingly realizing something, and then, anger surged within him as he roared:

"what do you mean!"

Zhi Shui sighed and said, "The clan leader asked me to send him away."

"How is this possible?"

Uchiha Shinichi took a few steps back in shock, muttering to himself:

"Could it be...could it be that even the clan chief has yielded?"

Seeing that Shinichi Uchiha's emotions were becoming increasingly unstable.

Shisui was worried that he might do something drastic.

Then he instantly activated his Sharingan and cast a genjutsu on him.

Just for a moment.

In shock and anger, Shinichi Uchiha fainted.

He stepped forward and caught the unconscious Uchiha Shinichi.

Zhi Shui gently helped him to the side and whispered, "Get some sleep!"

Looking at Shinichi Uchiha, who had been subdued by Shisui, the Root ninjas felt rather helpless.

He also knew that the Uchiha clan was not to be trifled with.

Being a member of one's own root group isn't always a good thing.

"Let's go."

After settling Shinichi Uchiha in, Shisui urged the Root ninjas to hurry up.

A large number of Uchiha clan members had already gathered around.

Zhi Shui knew very well what was going on in his heart.

Every minute this Root ninja stays in the clan's territory increases the chances of things changing.

But before he and the Root ninja could take more than a few steps...

Suddenly, Uchiha Shinichi's cold and indifferent voice came from behind, "Then my Yu died in vain?"

Shisui was startled and turned around abruptly.

Although Shisui wasn't taking the illusion technique too seriously, it was still an illusion technique cast by his Mangekyou Sharingan.

According to common sense.

With the power of Shinichi Uchiha's three-tomoe Sharingan.

It takes at least ten minutes of unconsciousness before there is any chance of waking up.

But I never thought.

Shinichi Uchiha actually woke up within a minute or two?

This……

Moreover, the other party's expression was different from before, when they were full of shock and rage.

At this moment, Shinichi Uchiha's expression revealed indifference.

It made him feel inexplicably palpitate.

It felt like something bad was about to happen.

Shisui explained, "Uncle Shinichi, I'll explain things to you later. Things are far more complicated than you think."

Shinichi Uchiha said, "I know what you're trying to explain, but what does it matter?"

“I saw him kill Yu with my own eyes, and my eyes don’t lie to me.”

"He must die, no matter what the conspiracy is... He! Must! Die!"

As he spoke, Shinichi Uchiha spoke almost word by word, revealing his resolute determination.

Shisui shook his head. "I'm sorry, Uncle Shinichi, I can't let you kill him."

Shinichi Uchiha slowly reached his hand into the ninja tool pouch at his waist.

He took out two kunai, one in each hand.

He assumed a fighting stance while saying:

"Then you are my enemy."
