I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 240 Konoha is now under the control of the police department!

Roar!

A sudden roar resounded throughout Konoha, but the massive roar was suddenly met with an inexplicable ripple, and in an instant the sound was confined to a certain range.

In other words, the roar of the beast did not spread outwards at all.

Inside the Hokage's meeting room in Konoha.

The atmosphere in the meeting room has completely changed. After Shimura Danzo revealed his Wood Release cells and Sharingan, the Hokage leadership has completely lost the trust of the ninja.

Left with no other choice, the three most authoritative and capable members of the Sannin – Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Uchiha Yoru – began to preside over the meeting.

"I, Uchiha Yoru, am formally impeaching the Third Hokage and other high-ranking officials. There are many suspicious points surrounding the events in the Land of Lightning. I even suspect that the Second Hokage's death was questionable!"

"You!" Everyone stared at Uchiha Yoru in shock. It had to be said that this was a ruthless move.

Even Tsunade glared fiercely at Uchiha Yoru, but Uchiha Yoru just sneered, "Since you insist on pinning the Nine-Tails' attack on the Uchiha, why should I hold back?"

"During the trip to the Land of Lightning, the Second Hokage's bodyguard escaped unscathed, while the Second Hokage, who was being protected, remained in the Land of Lightning."

"As a ninja, he actually abandoned the mission and chose to leave the Second Hokage behind. I don't know what could have caused the Second Hokage, who could use the Flying Thunder God Space-Time Ninjutsu, to perish in the Land of Lightning."

At this point, Uchiha Yoru looked around, his gaze finally settling on Hatake Kakashi, and he directly mocked, "I remember during the Third Shinobi World War, Konoha's White Fang suffered because his comrades abandoned their mission. So I want to ask you all, no matter the reason, what kind of person abandons the Second Hokage and chooses to flee back to the Land of Fire?"

"Useless!" Uchiha Yoru's voice echoed, shocking everyone. At that moment, everyone's eyes turned to Hatake Kakashi.

However, Kakashi Hatake remained silent as he looked at the Third Hokage, while Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and looked up at Yoru Uchiha in the face of this betrayal.

"Uchiha Yoru, your methods are ruthless enough."

A hoarse voice came from the old man's mouth, but Uchiha Yoru smiled calmly, "Ruthless? Not as ruthless as you guys."

"Since the Third Hokage was able to isolate the Uchiha clan from the entire Hidden Leaf Village with just the Sharingan in the Nine-Tails' eye, I now have the same question! I hope the Third Hokage can answer it. Please don't say that you, the Third Hokage, didn't know what Root did."

"First, why didn't Root appear during the Nine-Tails' rampage? Aren't Root members, who possess the Sharingan and Wood Release, more suspicious? I'd even like to know if the so-called Nine-Tails' rampage was all orchestrated by you old guys, just so that the Third Hokage and his superiors could return to power!"

"Secondly, when the Second Hokage of the Land of Lightning perished, why did all of you, as his guards, escape and even rise to high positions? I now strongly suspect that the Second Hokage of the Land of Lightning was merely a coward, or even that you were only after the Hokage's position!"

Uchiha Yoru's two consecutive questions caused everyone's expressions to change drastically. None of the ninjas present were fools. It seemed that the Root organization was more likely to be involved in the Nine-Tails' attack, and the ultimate loss was indeed the death of the Fourth Hokage, while the benefit came from these old guys regaining power.

Even after all these years, he still doesn't want to relinquish power! If Uchiha Yoru hadn't pressed him so relentlessly, this situation wouldn't have occurred.

There's another incident involving the Second Hokage, the White Fang incident, which is still fresh in everyone's memory! The Third Hokage and others, who were supposed to be the Hokage's guards, abandoned the Second Hokage and escaped back themselves. What kind of behavior is that?

If you want to add guilt, there is no excuse!

Jiraiya looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had reached this point, and shook his head. "Old man, did you ever imagine that this day would come?"

"Report! All the elites from the Dark Side and Root are gone!"

Just then, a Konoha Jonin rushed in in a panic and hurriedly reported. At that moment, everyone's expression froze. The elites of Root and Anbu were gone!

At that moment, Jiraiya broke out in a cold sweat as soon as he heard this. When he turned around, he saw the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been silent all along, staring coldly at Uchiha Yoru, his eyes looking at him as if he were a dead man.

Even Tsunade was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and looked at the Third Hokage with an incredulous expression.

"As expected of the Third Hokage who boasts of being the strongest Hokage."

Just then, Uchiha Yoru suddenly clapped and smiled. However, at that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly stood up, his eyes gleaming with cold light as he looked at Uchiha Yoru.

"Uchiha Yoru, I must admit your methods. In just three years, you have developed to a point where even I have to be wary. But today, even if it costs me my life, I will eliminate this scourge for the village."

At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Shisui Uchiha, who had also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and said in a hoarse voice, "I never expected you to be so well-hidden, to have even a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan! Well then!"

"Kakashi! I trusted you so much, why did you betray the village!" Suddenly, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Kakashi Hatake, his voice filled with accusation, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

"Kakashi! I've always believed you were a promising junior, and I even considered training you to be the next Minato. Why did you...!"

It must be said that at this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi still wanted to use his usual methods to turn people against him, but he was facing the calm and collected Kakashi Hatake.

Kakashi Hatake calmly looked at the Third Hokage and said in a deep voice, "Third Hokage, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I was ordered to approach the Uchiha clan, and all the information I gathered was for the sake of the village. On the other hand, Hokage, everything you have done is extremely disappointing."

"And tonight too!"

At this point, Kakashi Hatake silently surveyed the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Most of the Jonin from the Yamanaka, Akimichi, and Nara clans did not attend this Jonin meeting. From the moment I entered the meeting room, I knew that the die was cast and the arrow had to be released. Reform requires bloodshed."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand trembled slightly. He took a deep breath without making a sound and looked at Jiraiya and Tsunade.

"The Uchiha clan is plotting a coup. Jiraiya, Tsunade, I now hope you will consider the bigger picture."

However, what happened at this moment shocked everyone. Tsunade stared at Jiraiya with cold eyes and said, "Jiraiya, Kakashi is right. Konoha is rotten, and reform requires bloodshed."

"The difference is that we've minimized the bloodshed!" With a crack of his knuckles, Jiraiya shook his head at the Third Hokage after seeing Tsunade do this.

"Old man, you saw it too, and this time you really went too far with the Sharingan and Wood Release!" Even Jiraiya fell silent at this point.

This scene made Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turn ashen, but Yoru Uchiha waved his hand and laughed, "Alright, Third Hokage, stop acting. I must say, your performance today was really great."

Uchiha Yoru waved his hand, looked at the Third Hokage, and squinted his eyes, gazing at the village outside through the conference room window.

"Listen, the village is so quiet. The Jonin meeting has once again mobilized all the elite members of the Uchiha clan. Under the barrier, tsk tsk."

Uchiha Yoru shook his head, but the smile on his face grew colder and colder. However, the others were not fools, and they all became restless after hearing these words.

"You!" Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed drastically, his turbid eyes filled with shock. How could the other party know? He knew this matter could not possibly be revealed.

"Hiruzen!"

Just then, among the elders held captive by the Uchiha clan's elite, Mitokado Homura raised his head, revealing a look of frustration.

"Hiruzen, I'm sorry!"

One sentence instantly reversed the situation, and Hiruzen Sarutobi turned pale. This time he was really flustered, and he even felt dizzy and almost fainted.

However, facing everyone, Mitokado Homura said aggrievedly, "Hiruzen, I didn't know! I did it all for the village!"

"No! Impossible!"

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at everyone with a pale face. He could accept the betrayal of the Uchiha clan, and even the betrayal of commoner ninjas, but he really found it hard to believe that his old friends had betrayed him.

"No! It's the Mangekyou Sharingan!" In an instant, Hiruzen Sarutobi realized what was happening and stared at Yoru Uchiha in horror. There was only one possibility for Mitokado Homura to betray him: he had been hit by a genjutsu. And the only genjutsu that could be done so secretly was probably the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Bang!"

Just then, the conference room door opened, and a masked ANBU ninja appeared, his face covered in blood and filth, and his body reeking of blood.

"By order of the Hokage, the Sarutobi, Yamanaka, Nara, Akimichi, Shimura... clans have rebelled. The elite forces of Root and Anbu have been mobilized, but are now encountering fierce resistance and request reinforcements!"

Boom!

Just then, a violent explosion suddenly erupted in Konoha, followed by a terrifying roar that echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

"Nine-Tails!"

Instantly, everyone's expression changed drastically. Even Jiraiya's face hardened, and he angrily shouted in terror, "Uchiha Yoru! You actually manipulated the Nine-Tails!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed in shock, "Impossible! Naruto has been transferred to the Summoning Grounds!"

However, at this moment, the ANBU member wearing the blood-stained mask slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes to everyone's astonished gaze.

"Reporting back to the Third Hokage, it is suspected that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, from a Root experiment, has gone berserk and appeared directly on the Sarutobi clan's territory!"

"You!" At this moment, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, stared in disbelief at the ANBU member in front of him, his finger trembling as he pointed at him.

Under everyone's shocked gaze, the ANBU member slowly removed his mask, revealing a youthful face. He turned to Uchiha Yoru, knelt on one knee, and respectfully shouted, "Uchiha Itachi greets Lord Yoru!"

Uchiha Itachi! At only twelve years old, Uchiha Itachi's eyes gleamed with the Mangekyou Sharingan, a sight that shocked everyone and sent chills down their spines. Many stared in terror at the scene before them.

Uchiha Shisui had one pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, and Hatake Kakashi had one. Now, another pair of Mangekyou Sharingan has appeared, and with Uchiha Yoru joining the mix, the Uchiha clan now possesses three and a half pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan.

"How is that possible!"

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was deathly pale, filled with disbelief. He had thought about many things, even about Itachi Uchiha's betrayal, but he had never imagined that Itachi Uchiha, who was only twelve years old, could awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"No one can escape those eyes."

In front of everyone, Uchiha Yoru clearly revealed the Mangekyou Sharingan within his eye sockets, as if explaining something.

"Damn it!"

At this moment, Jiraiya cursed under his breath and smashed open the window, running towards the barrier in the distance. At the same time, the Third Hokage and a group of ninjas were also there.

At that moment, Uchiha Yoru immediately shouted, "Uchiha Itachi, Hatake Kakashi!"

"Master Ye!"

Kakashi Hatake and Itachi Uchiha each knelt on one knee in front of him, their eyes filled with fervor. After waiting and planning for so long, the change was finally about to begin!

"I now order you to take over the Dark Division!"

At a single command, Kakashi Hatake and Itachi Uchiha immediately obeyed. At this moment, Yoru Uchiha openly revealed his ambition to seize power, right in front of everyone.

In terms of background, Kakashi Hatake originally came from the Anbu, so he naturally has the qualifications and ability, not to mention that there is also Itachi Uchiha now.

"Uchiha Shisui, I now order you to lead the elite police force to take over Root. Anyone in Root who disobeys will be executed without mercy!"

"Kurenai Yuhi, Yugao Uzuki, and Might Guy, you three will lead the Seventh Division of the Police Department to take over the Intelligence Department! Genma Shiranui, Raido Namiashi, Deivashi, and Hizashi Hyuga, you will each lead the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Divisions of the Police Department to take over the Medical Department and the Barrier Department!"

"yes!"

"Issue the signal simultaneously!" At that moment, Uchiha Yoru's Mangekyou Sharingan flashed a bewitching crimson in his eyes. He glanced around at everyone and shouted, "From this moment on! For the safety of Konoha, Konoha is under the control of the Police Department!"

"yes!"

As Uchiha Yoru issued his orders, the Jonin directly expressed his desire to take control of Konoha in front of everyone.

In this moment of panic, the neutral Jonin all turned their gazes toward Tsunade, who, upon seeing this, simply snorted coldly.

"Konoha must not fall into chaos! All other Jonin, listen up! I, Tsunade, will now take over the Hokage's office building!"

Tsunade's order instantly gave these neutrals a sense of direction, since the current situation in Konoha could very well cause unrest, and could even lead to a civil war if they were not careful.

With each command issued, the entire village of Konoha instantly trembled. In particular, the angry shout and the aura it exuded triggered terrifying memories of years past in the minds of countless people in Konoha.

Clearly, although it was only for a brief moment, it was the instant the barrier was broken, and countless Jonin turned their gazes toward the heart of Konoha.

I will resume normal updates starting June 6.1st, with two updates every morning at 8 AM. I finally feel physically recovered, and damn, I feel alive again.

It almost broke down. Damn it, I hate COVID.
