I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 239 Armed Coup?

Faced with Uchiha Yoru's eloquence, Hiruzen Sarutobi calmly uttered only one sentence, which immediately caused everyone present to change their expressions drastically.

"Since the Uchiha clan elders believe I'm targeting the Uchiha clan, or even the police force, then I admit it! But all of this is for the safety of the village; after all, I don't think any Konoha ninja wants to experience the Nine-Tails' night again!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi struck at the heart of the matter, stating that the crime of the Nine-Tails' Night could not be cleared up in a day, and Konoha would always be wary and cautious of the Uchiha clan, no matter how many Hokage they replaced.

Sure enough, as soon as the Third Hokage brought up this topic, everyone's expression changed instantly.

However, Uchiha Yoru calmly looked at everyone and said, "The Uchiha clan has been secretly investigating the Nine-Tails' Night incident. I wonder if the Third Hokage has found anything? Or how many spies have you planted in the police department?"

With two consecutive questions, Uchiha Yoru stared intently at the Third Hokage, and everyone's expressions immediately turned serious.

Even Jiraiya noticed something was amiss and lowered his voice, saying, "Tsunade, Konoha can't withstand any more turmoil. The old man has indeed gone too far, but the village cannot endure civil war!"

Facing Jiraiya, Tsunade scoffed disdainfully, "I know, the purpose of our return is to stop the civil war, but let's see what these old guys have done first."

"Me!" Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd. Under everyone's gaze, a purple-haired figure slowly appeared in everyone's sight, raising his arm high.

Konoha's Special Jonin, Uzuki Yugao, is currently a senior member of the police department, though there are some unpleasant rumors surrounding her.

However, this time, when Uzuki Yugao stepped forward, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, couldn't help but frown, take a deep drag of his cigarette, and a look of disappointment involuntarily appeared in his eyes. As expected, they had betrayed him.

"I am Uzuki Yugao. After graduation, I was assigned by former Anbu leader Sarutobi Umeko to work as a spy for Uchiha Yoru in the Police Department, investigating all of Uchiha Yoru's violations."

A commotion erupted as countless people stared at Uzuki Yugao, who had stepped forward, and immediately admitted to being spies. It's well known that spies usually target outsiders, but this time they were targeting their own people.

"Kurenai Yuhi, under the orders of the Third Hokage, approached Yoru Uchiha under the guise of a classmate, while simultaneously investigating the police department..."

As one figure after another stepped forward, everyone's expressions as they looked at the Third Hokage were no longer so innocent. After all, monitoring fellow villagers was indeed going too far, and the timing of the two of them was simply not right.

The surveillance began several years ago, meaning that in terms of time, it was more accurate to say that Orochimaru was being monitored back then.

Faced with all these accusations, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag of his cigarette, raised his head, and looked at Yoru Uchiha with his cloudy eyes. He showed a determined look: the Uchiha cannot be allowed to live!

"Today! Taking advantage of the Jonin meeting, in my capacity as the Uchiha clan head, the police chief, and a Konoha Jonin, I formally impeach the Third Hokage and his corrupt regime!"

"presumptuous!"

"How dare you!"

Uchiha Yoru suddenly changed the subject, and in that instant, the three Konoha high-ranking officials, Mitokado Homura, Shimura Danzo, and Utatane Koharu, all glared angrily at him.

They dedicated their lives to Konoha, and now someone is impeaching them. Isn't that negating their entire lives?

Faced with this public impeachment, Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled calmly. In his eyes, it was Jiraiya and Tsunade's return that had driven the other side to desperation.

"I have naturally dedicated my life to the village. If you wish to impeach me, then please produce the evidence."

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi was old at this moment, he gradually exuded a powerful aura in the face of impeachment. His cloudy eyes revealed a firm look as he stared straight at Yoru Uchiha as if questioning him.

"Otherwise, Uchiha Yoru, you are arbitrarily impeaching the Hokage with the intention of creating chaos. Regardless of your status as the head of the police department or the head of the Uchiha clan, these are not grounds for you to act recklessly!"

Facing the Hokage faction, Uchiha Yoru sneered, "Since we've come this far, don't you old folks always bring up the Nine-Tails?"

"For so many years, my Uchiha clan has been secretly investigating in order to clear our names of this crime."

As he said this, Uchiha Yoru's figure suddenly flashed, and in an instant, Jiraiya couldn't help but glare angrily at the Jonin meeting.

"presumptuous!"

However, the next moment, Jiraiya's face darkened, and he saw a green figure appear in front of him, which was Might Guy.

At this moment, Might Guy, dressed in green, blocked his way, while Kakashi Hatake, with his Sharingan revealed, stood behind him. The two of them attacked from the front and back, which shocked Jiraiya and made him even angrier.

"Lord Jiraiya, please calm down!"

Behind him, Kakashi Hatake revealed his Sharingan, which, in a frenzy of spinning, transformed into a Mangekyou Sharingan right before everyone's eyes. Meanwhile, Might Guy, standing directly in front of him, had a resolute expression and a determined look in his eyes. It was clear that he would open the Eight Gates at the slightest movement.

"Lord Jiraiya, I apologize for my inconvenience."

Jiraiya was almost stunned with anger at this moment. He had only been gone for a few years, and the village had changed so much.

However, the scene on the other side caused all the Jonin to change color.

"Pfft!"

Amidst the splattering blood, two figures emerged. Uchiha Yoru, his eyes gleaming with crimson Mangekyou Sharingan, glanced sideways at everyone as he slowly sheathed his Kusanagi sword.

However, there was another figure directly in front of him, none other than Uchiha Shisui. Shockingly, he had extracted an eyeball from his two bloodied fingers. More importantly, his eyes were now bloodshot, revealing the Mangekyou Sharingan!

"what!"

A scream rang out, instantly causing all the Jonin in the meeting room to change their expressions drastically. Countless Jonin drew their weapons, and an armed coup was about to begin!

However, thanks to the ninjas' keen observation, everyone's expression changed drastically the next moment, especially the Third Hokage's side. One of them stared at the scene with a pale face, and even the usually composed Hiruzen Sarutobi turned deathly pale in an instant.

As Danzo Shimura sat upright, he screamed as Uchiha Yoru and Shisui cut off and plucked out his arm and eye, respectively. Despite his agonizing screams, his body remained stiff and immobile.

Sealing Technique: Seal of Self-Karma Binding

"This is the Mangekyou Sharingan!" After swiftly removing Danzo Shimura's eyeball, Shisui Uchiha glared angrily at everyone, raising the bloodied eyeball high in his hand and roaring hoarsely.

It was as if at this moment, Uchiha Shisui was venting the pent-up frustration of the Uchiha clan having suffered so many years of injustice.

"Clang!"

However, the next moment, the bandaged arm was revealed, the golden metal shackles were removed, and as the bandages were untied, a pale white arm and those hideous scarlet eyes were exposed.

"this!"

Such a shocking scene left countless Jonin feeling cold, and even many ninjas looked at the once high and mighty Konoha F4 with some fear.

"Danzo!" Tsunade couldn't help but roar when she witnessed all of this. In her anger, she smashed the table in front of her with a punch and glared at the Konoha leaders.

"Tsunade!"

"Shut up! Jiraiya!" Tsunade was furious as she glared at everyone, and her anger intensified when she saw the arm in Uchiha Yoru's hand.

"Old man Sarutobi! I need an explanation! Why are my grandfather's Wood Release cells in Danzo's body?!"

With the powerful aura emanating from the Sannin, especially Tsunade who hadn't become decadent in recent years but instead had undergone regular training, her surging and powerful chakra instantly emerged.

Uchiha Yoru, who was holding the disgusting arm, sneered, "Lord Jiraiya, do you dare say that all of this is an illusion? Is it all fake?"

"Based on the Uchiha clan's investigations over the years, the mysterious figure who appeared on the night of the Nine-Tails not only manipulated the Nine-Tails using the Sharingan, but also possessed Wood Release cells. The Sharingan has been a scapegoat for the Uchiha clan for so many years, so what about the Wood Release cells now?!"

"A suspect who possesses both the Sharingan and Wood Release, and who can manipulate the Nine-Tails' power, seems to have a stronger case against our Third Hokage!"

As Uchiha Yoru's voice rang out powerfully, the Uchiha clan members in the Jonin meeting room angrily opened their Sharingan and roared, "Clan Leader! Give the order! Even if Konoha is devastated! Even if the Uchiha clan is wiped out, the Uchiha clan will never abandon its pride!"

"Hooray! For the Uchiha!"

Seizing a bloodline limit is already a matter of life and death, and this scene was even witnessed by someone from the same village, and a high-ranking one at that. In an instant, the rationality of the Uchiha clan was completely shattered.

"Lady Tsunade, as the founder of Konoha, the Senju clan, I formally invite you, as the head of the Uchiha clan, to be our witness! The current Third Hokage is no longer qualified to lead Konoha! And the current Konoha leadership is even less qualified!"

As Uchiha Yoru's voice landed, the ninjas he brought instantly moved, each brandishing their weapons.

coup!

Upon witnessing this moment, Jiraiya was shocked. He felt his hands and feet turn cold, especially seeing the panicked looks in the eyes of the other Jonin. It was clear that morale had collapsed.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat. His years of experience as a ninja hero made him think of calming down rather than questioning Danzo in this desperate situation.

Looking at the pale arm in her hand, Tsunade took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice to everyone, "All Konoha ninja, listen up! Anbu and Root members, stand by! Anyone who makes a move will be executed without exception as a traitor to the village!"

"Send a signal simultaneously: Konoha is under complete lockdown! All merchants, ninjas, and summoned beasts are allowed to enter but not leave!"

A coup d'état! A power grab!

That was the only thing on everyone's mind. However, Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the longest-serving Hokage, made the right decision immediately.

"Danzo! You!"

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, slammed his fist on the table in fury, his eyes blazing with rage, and roared, "Tsunade, you're now in charge of Root, and Jiraiya, you're in charge of Anbu! Konoha absolutely cannot afford any trouble! You must thoroughly investigate and find the real culprit!"

Swish!

Danzo Shimura was sealed and imprisoned by members of the Uchiha clan, and even advisors Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane were taken hostage by Jonin from the police department.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Uchiha Yoru coldly retorted, "The police department is responsible for the village's security. Now I have sufficient reason to suspect that the village's higher-ups have arbitrarily seized the bloodline of a fellow villager's ninja clan. This alone is enough to prove that the three advisors are suspected of betraying the village! I'm even starting to suspect you, Third Hokage!"

"Uchiha Yoru! Aren't you worried about the village already being in turmoil enough?"

At that moment, Jiraiya hurriedly stepped forward, staring intently at Uchiha Yoru, and said in a low, deep voice, "Are you really going to wait until the village is in civil war before you give up?!"

However, in the face of Jiraiya's threat, Uchiha Yoru sneered contemptuously, "If it weren't for the clues I've gathered over the years, what would my fate be today, Lord Jiraiya?"

Faced with Uchiha Yoru's questioning, Jiraiya's expression stiffened. He couldn't help but look at Tsunade, whose face was now even more ashen.

"Lady Tsunade, how is it!" Facing Uchiha Yoru, Tsunade gave a cold snort, looked around at everyone, and directly shouted in a deep voice: "The police department is responsible for taking over the security of the village. Root members, stand by on the spot. Anyone who moves without authorization will be killed without exception! Anbu, be on high alert. Jiraiya is now in charge."

"At the same time, the village is on high alert, and all ninjas within the village are on standby at home. Anyone who causes chaos or disturbance will be killed!"

As expected of a woman destined to become the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade's calm and decisive decrees were perfectly timed, and the three major military departments are now under the control of the three of them.

However, a cold glint appeared in Uchiha Yoru's eyes as he coldly shouted, "The Nine-Tails' attack was clearly a frame-up against the Uchiha clan! After all these years, we must not only investigate, but investigate to the very end! Anyone who dares to obstruct the police department's investigation is an enemy!"

"I also intend to sue the current Third Hokage!"

"You!" Jiraiya's eyes widened, as if to say, "You really think things aren't serious enough?"

However, Uchiha Yoru sneered. Since Hiruzen Sarutobi had chosen to make a move, he would also strike back with lightning speed. There was no room for mercy in political struggles. If they were going to fight, they would fight until the other side was completely exhausted.

"I now even suspect that the whole story about Hiruzen Sarutobi becoming the Third Hokage after returning from the Land of Lightning was a lie! It was all just their ambition!"

As Uchiha Yoru's voice echoed, many Jonin were still shocked that so many big scandals had emerged today, not to mention the numerous Mangekyou Sharingan techniques.

Even Jiraiya stared at Uchiha Yoru in shock, his hands and feet turning ice-cold. Uchiha Shisui, with his Mangekyou Sharingan, and Hatake Kakashi, who also had a Mangekyou Sharingan, were standing nearby. Damn it! What happened? Old man, is this what you meant by "suppressing the Uchiha"?

That's it? You press it like this?

Danzo Shimura brought all those Sharingan eyes and Wood Release cells up in front of so many people! And they were discovered! Damn it, now the Uchiha clan is even whiter than all of you.

Who would dare say that the Uchiha clan is suspected of manipulating the Nine-Tails?

The so-called Dark Lord of the Ninja World remained silent. Under this sudden turn of events, no one expected Uchiha Yoru to be so bold as to make a move in the conference room.

The result was that he was directly sealed! Even the so-called Konoha high-ranking officials, and now the entire Konoha ninja, are beginning to doubt whether this is truly their leadership?

I tried my best to write each chapter well, and I thank all my brothers for their support.
