Konoha: The Innately Evil Uchiha

Chapter 13 The New Leader of Root

As dawn broke and the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds, they illuminated the bustling streets of Konoha, dispelling the darkness.

For ordinary people.

It was just another ordinary day.

The Anbu have cleaned up the battlefield near the Uchiha clan's territory and set up a cordon around the area.

No orders were received from higher-ups.

The Anbu (Anbu) cannot yet clear out the Uchiha clan's territory, but some Anbu members have already infiltrated the area, standing on the rooftops of wooden houses to survey the scene and establish a tight defense.

On the main street of the Uchiha clan compound, Itachi carried Sasuke on his back and walked towards the exit of the compound, but the elite members of the Anbu ignored them.

Itachi was in a daze, trying to come up with one excuse after another to deceive Sasuke, but he rejected them all in his heart.

According to his plan.

Sasuke shouldn't have fainted prematurely.

Stop!

A familiar voice came from inside.

Itachi looked up and saw a fox-faced mask and two familiar figures.

Two secret agents stopped him.

Itachi looked behind the two of them.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and his two companions were walking towards where Itachi was. Their eyes were indifferent, exuding the aura of those in high positions, and they ignored the corpses of Uchiha civilians on the street.

"Step back!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said indifferently to the two ANBU members who had stopped Itachi.

Before the fox-masked ANBU left, Itachi stopped him and handed him the unconscious Sasuke, saying, "Kakashi-senpai, could you please look after Sasuke for a while?"

Kakashi paused for a moment, sighed softly, reached out and took Sasuke, and retreated with Yamato beside him.

Only four people remained on the entire street.

Xiaochun, who was switching dorm rooms, got straight to the point, stepped forward, and said slowly and deliberately:

"Uchiha Yinyue wiped out the Uchiha clan and fled Konoha with a group of rogue Uchiha ninja. Itachi, you don't have to leave the village."

Itachi's hazy thoughts gradually coalesced, and he looked up at Hiruzen Sarutobi beside the old woman.

He instantly understood what the other person meant.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, his gaze calm, looked directly into Itachi's questioning eyes and sighed.

"I'm sorry, Itachi, in the end I still couldn't find a better solution."

Regarding staying in Konoha.

What are your own thoughts?

In the eyes of these three high-ranking officials in Konoha, the Uchiha clan could have been wiped out by Itachi or by Yinyue.

Now, Hiruzen Sarutobi is more inclined to believe that it was the defector Uchiha Kagetsu who killed him.

The idea of ​​having two Hokage as assistants was correct.

Konoha is in dire need of manpower.

Seeing Itachi's silence, Koharu, who was turning over to the next room, spoke bluntly:

"The truth about tonight is known only to the three of us, you, and the dead Danzo."

"Danzo is dead??"

Itachi suddenly looked up, his bloodshot black eyes staring straight at Koharu Utatane, the news exploding in his mind.

Danzo Shimura, who orchestrated the Uchiha clan massacre... is dead. How did he die?

Itachi immediately came up with an unrealistic answer.

Uchiha Yin Yue killed him!!

Koharu's eyes narrowed slightly, her breathing became labored, and her body trembled slightly.

The eyes of the Uchiha boy in front of her seemed to contain a kunai condensed from killing intent, which delivered a fatal stab to her in that instant.

Koharu nodded, not hiding anything: "It was Uchiha Yinyue who killed him!"

Upon hearing this, Itachi's pupils contracted, and his thoughts became chaotic once again. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and reassessed the danger level of Uchiha Shingetsu in his mind.

Itachi looked up at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said, word by word, his voice weak and trembling:

"The Uchiha Police Department was taken care of by Uchiha Kagetsu before I could take action."

These words were spoken.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado were once again overwhelmed with turmoil.

In other words, after wiping out the Uchiha Police Department in the clan's territory, Uchiha Yinyue returned and killed Danzo!

One that could kill the entire Uchiha Police Department.

In addition, there was the Uchiha who assassinated Danzo.

He absolutely deserves to be ranked as an S-class rogue ninja!!

The last rogue ninja of this caliber in Konoha was Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin.

"This..." Koharu's pupils dilated in shock. She swallowed hard, but swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

This is simply a fantasy!

Hiruzen Sarutobi was the first to regain his composure. He calculated that among all the ninjas in Konoha, probably only his three disciples could accomplish this.

Even with his Mangekyou Sharingan activated, Uchiha Yinyue couldn't connect to the crime.

Wipe out an Uchiha police department.

Chakra will inevitably be exhausted.

What's more, he later assassinated Danzo!

Others may not know Danzo's strength, but these three know it best. Even if the three legendary Sannin of Konoha joined forces, they would not be able to kill Danzo instantly.

The scene fell into dead silence.

Itachi breaks the deadlock:

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, but I can't stay in Konoha for Sasuke's sake. I'll find a way to deal with that Uchiha rogue ninja squad for the village. Please take care of Sasuke."

The three high-ranking officials of Konoha gathered their thoughts.

The three men, having held high positions for many years, immediately shifted their focus away from the matter of Yin Yue destroying the police department and then assassinating Danzo.

What they need to do now.

It's to keep Itachi here!

Since the Uchiha clan is gone, and there's a rogue Uchiha ninja squad to take the blame, Itachi doesn't really need to leave Konoha.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was not surprised by Itachi's answer, and then squinted at Koharu Utatane.

The two exchanged a brief glance.

Xiaochun, who had changed dorm rooms, continued to persuade him:

"Itachi, we understand how you feel. You can listen to our offer first."

Danzo is dead.

The Root organization, Konoha's underground intelligence agency and the Anbu training department, urgently needs manpower to take over.

This position is now yours to fill.

That is the most suitable.

If you stay in Konoha, you can take care of Sasuke yourself and raise him to adulthood.

Itachi, think more about your brother.

of course.

"If you insist on leaving the village, we will keep our promise and take good care of Sasuke."

Itachi Uchiha quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, then slowly raised his head to look at the Third Hokage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed:

"None of us want to see something like this happen to the Uchiha clan, but it's a matter of timing and circumstances. Once you get involved, the situation forces you to make a choice."

What Itachi is about to say might be very harsh.

But you upheld the Will of Fire and made outstanding contributions to the peace of Konoha. You are a hero of Konoha.

We shouldn't live in darkness.

"Itachi, please stay. I beg you in the name of the Hokage."

……

……

Two days after fleeing.

Border of the Land of Fire.

Kikyo Mountain.

Like a silver ribbon, the stream meanders through the desolate autumn valley, flowing quietly outwards.

wow-

Yin Yue stood upstream of the stream, bent down, scooped up a handful of fresh water with both hands, washed the blood off her face, and stepped into the crystal-clear riverbed, which was above her ankles.

The stream water was bone-chillingly cold in late autumn.

Under the sunlight, the water reflected Yin Yue's face: short, wispy hair, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a clear facial contour. She wore a white dress and had an elegant posture.

Other Uchiha were also near the stream, cleaning the dirt off their bodies.

They had long since changed into ordinary clothes.

Now they look like a group of indigenous residents living in a nearby mountain village, only with exceptionally good looks.

At this moment, Uchiha Izumi, with her eyebrows furrowed and carrying her ninja shoes in her right hand, walked across the water from downstream.

Representing the other Uchiha, she approached Yin Yue, who hadn't spoken to them for two days, and softly asked:

"Captain Yinyue, next, we will travel by water to bypass Mount Kikyo."

Or should we enter Kikyo Mountain and pass through Kikyo Castle?

In my personal opinion...

Although taking the waterway is a longer route, it will help us disappear without a trace.

P.S.: Two chapters tomorrow, they're going to be great!
