Konoha: The Innately Evil Uchiha

Chapter 34 A Fight to the Death!

"Asuma is dead... It's Yin Yue again!"

Itachi's pupils widened as he glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who lay on the ground, his face ashen, his fate unknown.

The atmosphere in the office was heavy.

Screams and cries for help mingled together.

Itachi stood by the desk, becoming increasingly calm and lost in thought, as if isolated from the world around him.

His expression was solemn. He briefly reviewed the information on the scroll and immediately guessed the purpose of the Konoha leadership's urgent summons.

On the northwestern border of the Land of Fire, Sarutobi Asuma led a team without authorization to hunt down the Uchiha squad.

This resulted in three deaths and one capture in the temporary squad of five Jonin.

Asma and Dilu have disappeared.

There is almost no chance of survival.

The Fire Temple reinforcements, except for Jiraiya, all the monks died by some strange means.

This is a great loss for Konoha, and for the Hokage, he has lost his only remaining son.

Itachi's face was gloomy; he knew that his ally had probably been involved in that great battle.

In that situation.

Could Uchiha Yinyue have safely led nine Uchiha members away?

Suddenly, a hoarse voice broke the oppressive atmosphere in the Hokage's office.

"Itachi... come here..."

His voice was weak and feeble, lacking its former authority.

Itachi's eyes twitched slightly. Coming to his senses, he looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Hiruzen Sarutobi's old face was slightly flushed.

Itachi approached the old man and half-squatted down.

"The reason I didn't let you hunt them down before was because the ninja village needed internal reorganization, and the Root organization, which was practically defunct, also needed you to clean up."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, his old, dim eyes fixed on Itachi, asked tremblingly, "After a week of adjustment, how's the work progressing?"

Itachi calmly replied, "Lord Hokage, the Root organization has completed its internal restructuring. At most, within a year, Root will be able to provide nourishment to the great tree of Konoha once again."

"Good, even faster than I expected."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked somber, reached out and took Itachi's hand, patting the back of Itachi's hand with his calloused, wrinkled palm, and said earnestly:

"Then go! Go and rescue your mother, eliminate Uchiha Yinyue for Konoha, and if possible... capture him alive!!"

"yes--"

Itachi's expression changed slightly, but he didn't ask any further questions and simply nodded.

Hiruzen Sarutobi gently patted Itachi's hand again, his voice hoarse as he said:

"Sasuke is a smart and exceptionally talented child. Now that the conflict between Konoha and the Uchiha clan has ended, the past is behind us."

Therefore, the three of us decided that once Sasuke graduates from the Konoha Ninja Academy, Kakashi will become his Jonin instructor.

As you know, Kakashi is Minato's disciple. He is reliable and trustworthy.

I also hope for Konoha's future...

It is possible for an Uchiha Hokage to appear!

We will do our best to train Sasuke.

If he's a good fit!

After saying that, Hiruzen Sarutobi released Itachi's hands and stopped talking.

"yes--"

Itachi's eyes sharpened. He slowly rose, stepped back, and left the Hokage Building with the Root organization subordinates who were guarding the corridor.

Let's set aside these promises.

Itachi had guessed this before.

The mother's defection.

It might be related to drinking moonlight.

After hearing the Third Hokage's words today, Itachi's doubts have been resolved.

This proves that the Third Hokage's informants were also tracking the Uchiha defector squad!

At this moment, Itachi himself must travel to the northwestern border of the Land of Fire, hoping that everything can be done in time.

Although he had already taken action before the Konoha leadership allowed him to act on his own, he did so long before the time was right.

The Hokage's office.

"well……"

After a long while, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been helped back to his seat by Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, let out a long sigh.

"Hiruzen, is that really how you feel about Sasuke?" Koharu Utatane asked earnestly, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, leaned back in his chair, looked out the window at the scenery of Konoha, clenched his fists, and the veins on the back of his old hands bulged.

His overall demeanor showed no signs of the aging and weakness that had previously been brought on by grief.

Yin Yue attacks Asuma!

The Temple of Extinguishing Fire!

How dare he?

Asuma was Hiruzen Sarutobi's only remaining son!

"As expected, they are all born evil Uchiha!!"

First was Danzo.

Now it's Asuma again, the Temple of Fire.

Xiaochun, inflammation.

Starting today.

"Regardless of life or death, spare no effort to find this Uchiha defector squad from the ninja world!!"

Enraged, Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his fist on the desk, denting it.

bang——

With a loud crash, the desk collapsed, splinters flying everywhere. Several Kage guards, who hadn't appeared before, sensed the Hokage's anger and instantly materialized, kneeling respectfully in front of the chair.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes blazed with fire, and his aged face gradually became distorted. The composure he had cultivated for over a decade in his high position dissipated in an instant.

now.

He only wanted to kill Uchiha Yinyue with his own hands.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado lowered their heads and remained silent. When Orochimaru defected from Konoha, their Hokage had only been silent for a few days.

Now, the one who killed Yin Yue was Hiruzen Sarutobi's only remaining son!

The hatred for the murder of one's son.

Don't share it!

The two Hokage advisors knew that the Uchiha defector squad would soon face the wrath of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the fury of the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

It's a fight to the death!

……

……

As night fell, at the foot of Gecheng Mountain, amidst towering peaks and deep valleys, a bright red bonfire blazed across the plain.

Various kinds of wild game were roasting on the fire, and the firelight illuminated the tired faces of the Uchiha team members.

After this period of escape.

They did not encounter the pursuing squad again.

The tense nerves of the Uchiha clan members were relieved, and as Tamao recovered to a considerable extent, the atmosphere in the team became more lively.

"Captain, what are those white monsters?" Quan took out her water bottle, opened the cap, and handed it to Yinyue with both hands.

Quan stared with her large, beautiful, dark eyes, full of curiosity. Her oval face, adorned with a beauty mark under her eye, was both cute and pretty.

Upon hearing this question...

The Uchiha all looked at Yin Yue.

From the day I fled Konoha.

This Uchiha squad then identified Yin Yue as its core leader.

The team now only has one captain.

They were also very curious about what the monster that appeared from the monks that night was.

However, their constant escape left them no time to think about anything else, not even time to grieve for the annihilation of the Uchiha clan.

Now, having escaped the Land of Fire, far from Konoha Village, and having evaded their first pursuit, they have entered the deep mountains and are finally able to catch their breath and gain a little sense of security.

Everyone pondered.

The monster was neither human nor human.

His body was like a piece of wood.

They were elusive, difficult to deal with, and had a strong vitality. If it weren't for Yin Yue's black flames that night, it would have been difficult to wipe them out completely.

"That's a White Zetsu."

Yin Yue took the kettle, tilted her head back and took a sip, her gaze fixed on the leaping flames, her clear pupils reflecting the firelight.

The tongue and lips perceive a sweet taste.

He looked down at the kettle.

Pink, girly style.

Quan, who was sitting to the side, rested his hands on his knees and chin. He saw that Yin Yue did not mind her water bottle and shared the same spout with her.

Quan's mind immediately drifted away from the question; her heart pounded, her cheeks flushed, and she felt a secret joy.

Her little scheme was noticed by Kurenai, who was standing nearby. Kurenai's lips curled up slightly, and in front of Izumi, she asked Tsuki for the water jug, smiling with narrowed eyes:

"Sorry, I'm a little thirsty too."

Her voice is full of mature woman's magnetism, charming and captivating.

Yinyue did not react to this.

Izumi's pupils widened as she stared intently at the ill-intentioned Kurenai Yuhi.

Kurenai was seen holding a water bottle, tilting her head back to drink water in a bold manner, her red lips slightly parted.

She deliberately let the drinking water flow from the corner of her mouth, gliding over her delicate cheeks, over her jade-like neck, and disappearing beneath her collarbone and the snow-white skin concealed by her chainmail.
