Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 433 begins

"Itachi, I've left dinner at the door!"

Mikoto knocked on her eldest son's door, her beautiful brows furrowing.

Itachi was acting strangely today; he locked himself in his room all day. I wonder if he wasn't feeling well.

"..."

The curtains in the room blocked out the last rays of the setting sun, and a figure sat in a dark corner.

Leaning against the edge of the bed with his legs bent, Itachi Uchiha sat on the floor, seemingly oblivious to his mother's concern, staring blankly at the floor as if he had lost his soul.

Time passed slowly, and Itachi, who had been in a daze, suddenly got up and stood in front of the wardrobe.

He took out a set of dark uniforms and put them on, then wrist guards and leg guards, meticulously dressing them all.

Finally, he inserted a sharp ninja sword into the scabbard on his back, and a bright red light shone in Itachi's eyes.

"Father is not home; he must have gone to patrol the area. The light is still on in Mother's room; she must be waiting for Father to return."

"As for Sasuke~"

Listening through the crack in the door, I could hear that he was already asleep.

"...It's time!"

Itachi left the house quietly, glanced back in the direction of his home, then left the clan's residence and arrived at an address provided by Danzo.

According to the other party, there would be people there to assist them in their actions.

"So you're the mole Danzo hired?"

They had just arrived at the agreed-upon place, less than three minutes had passed, when a middle-aged man's voice rang out behind Itachi.

brush!

The moment the sound appeared, Itachi didn't hesitate for a second, swiftly drawing his sword and slashing behind him.

However, the ninja sword in his hand felt light and airy, and he didn't feel like he was cutting into anything solid, which made Itachi's already heavy mood even more cautious.

"Good sense of vigilance!"

As Itachi's ninja sword pierced through his body, Obito's expression beneath his mask remained unchanged, and he calmly stated:

"That's enough of the probing!"

"Now let's get down to business!"

Uchiha Itachi is a pretty good choice. If I remember correctly, he should also have a younger brother who is currently attending the Ninja Academy.

That would be for the best, as it would give us a chance to create a new pair of eternal eyes.

"...So you're the helper Danzo was talking about?"

Seeing that the other party ignored the ninja sword in his hand, Itachi did not continue to test the other party's strength, but began to discuss the operation for tonight with the other party.

Returning to the clan's residence, a hint of struggle flashed in Itachi's eyes as he looked at the clansmen patrolling at the gate.

However, this struggle was quickly masked by the crimson light in his eyes.

"what!"

As a flash of light appeared, a suppressed roar suddenly erupted from a group of clan patrol members who had just passed under the torii gate.

Immediately, several shuriken flew past, the roar disappeared, and only the muffled thuds of corpses falling to the ground remained.

As Itachi Uchiha made his move, a colorless barrier slowly rose, enveloping the entire Uchiha compound.

This separated the Uchiha base and the village into two separate worlds.

A large group of ANBU members wearing animal masks surrounded the Uchiha compound, and in front of them stood Shimura Danzo, leaning on a cane.

The Uchiha clan's current base is not in the remote Naka River area as in the original story, but in the heart of Konoha.

With a large number of secret agents, a barrier, and the streets blocked off, it was impossible to hide it from everyone. Every now and then, late-night pedestrians would cross the area blocked by the secret agents and cast their gaze into the deep night.

However, the ANBU's attire and Danzo's pitch-black face deterred those who wanted to inquire about what had happened.

"This is going to be a big problem!"

Although they didn't know exactly what had happened, considering the rumors circulating in the village and the menacing presence of the secret agents, they immediately returned to their homes and reported the anomalies they had discovered.

In a solemn and dignified building, the Hyuga clan chief, who had just received a report from his clansmen, looked at his younger brother and the clan elders beside him, and hesitated.

Last time, his younger brother was able to save his life thanks to the help of the Uchiha clan, but this time it seems that something terrible is about to happen in the other clan.

He felt he still needed to go and take a look.

"Hiashi, don't be impulsive. I know you owe the Uchiha a favor because of Hizashi, but this isn't how you repay favors!"

Seeing that Hiashi was somewhat eager to make a move, an elderly Hyuga clan elder spoke up.

"But if we just stand by and watch the Uchiha clan run into trouble this time, the Hyuga clan will be next!"

"You should still remember the Cloud Ninja incident three years ago, right? If the Uchiha clan disappeared, our Hyuga clan would be the first to be affected!"

In Hiashi's view, the existence of the Uchiha clan was still very necessary. With them around, the village's attention would not be focused on the Hyuga clan.

"That's up to fate... If the Uchiha clan doesn't survive tonight... Hiashi, you'd better make other preparations!"

"Other preparations? Elder, you mean?"

Upon hearing the elder's words, not only Rizu, but even Rizashi next to him couldn't hold back and quickly asked.

"Regarding the last day's errand, the village's performance was somewhat... disappointing!"

The Hyuga clan elder, whose beard was already white, looked at the twin brothers in front of him and then spoke.

"This time, the Uchiha clan is also at risk... No matter what excuse they give afterward, we must make plans early. We cannot place all our hopes for the continuation of our clan on Konoha!"

"As for the Uchiha, if there are still members of the Uchiha clan after tonight, consider strengthening ties with them!"

If the Uchiha clan can survive tonight's ordeal, it will prove that the Third Hokage and his allies have completely lost control of the Uchiha clan's momentum. At that time, we can send them a generous gift and try to befriend them.

While this may only be icing on the cake, it is undoubtedly the best course of action for a family.

As for the favors we have with the Uchiha, let's wait until they survive tonight!

Tonight, similar conversations took place in every well-informed family in the village. However, most of these people did not intend to get involved. At the same time, they were also pondering whether the Konoha family was worth their and their families' service.

Should the family prepare a backup plan?

This is also one of the reasons why the Third Hokage has been so tolerant of Toshiro all these years.

For internal conflicts like this, suppression, exclusion, or even sending them to the battlefield as cannon fodder are all possible methods.

However, the village participated in the massacre.

Once this is done, all the families in the village, big and small, will surely become alienated.
