Konoha: The Innately Evil Uchiha

Chapter 94 They're All Dead (Please Subscribe!)

"Quickly, get Itachi here right now!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes lit up; this was the best news he had heard all day.

The other clan leaders cast surprised glances at them.

"this……"

The ANBU member looked troubled, recalling Itachi's appearance, and wanted to say something.

Seeing the Hokage and the other adults present so eager, he could only nod emphatically:

"yes--"

The Northwest Border Ninja Force had already sent back intelligence regarding the situation at the Valley of Sanctions.

All ten thousand cannon fodder were killed in action.

Hiashi Hyuga and Itachi have gone missing.

This intelligence report, delivered before Iwagakure declared war on Konoha, exploded like a bombshell in the minds of Hiruzen Sarutobi and other Konoha leaders.

Excluding Mikoto Uchiha, how could ten Uchiha possibly fight against more than ten thousand ninjas?

With Iwagakure declaring war on Konoha, the Konoha leadership finally turned their attention to the frontline battles.

One piece of bad news after another came.

This caught Konoha's leadership completely off guard.

The fact that Itachi has returned safely means that Hiashi Hyuga, whom Itachi was protecting, will most likely return as well. This is naturally good news for Hiruzen Sarutobi and for Konoha.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the seating area of ​​the Hyuga clan, his aged gaze sweeping over the three Hyuga clan elders.

Since the Japanese commander led the campaign to encircle and suppress the Uchiha clan.

The Hyuga clan would send three head elders to represent the clan at various meetings in the ninja village.

The head elder of the Hyuga main family, named Hyuga Akagi, was an old man with white hair, ten years older than Hiruzen Sarutobi.

At this moment, the three elders of the Hyuga main family looked expectant, remained silent, and stared intently at the conference room door.

a long time.

A report came from outside the door:

"Lord Hokage, Itachi has arrived."

"Let him in quickly!!"

"Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice."

creak-

The conference room door opened, and a stretcher was carried in by two ANBU members, followed by a disheveled Jonin from the Sarutobi clan. Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other Konoha clan leaders' pupils dilated.

A black-haired ninja lay flat on a stretcher, his face pale and on the verge of death.

His eyes and body were wrapped in countless bandages, making his face unrecognizable.

The only recognizable part of his body was his Uchiha clan clothing, which was covered in dried blood and filthy mud.

"Is that Uchiha Itachi?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked angrily.

The leader of the secret service said in a deep voice:

"It's absolutely true, sir. And this is the commander of the northwestern border defense forces who has returned. He is eager to see you and all the other officials."

With that, the ANBU passed the trouble to the defeated Sarutobi clan Jonin behind them.

"Sandaime-sama..."

The Jonin of the Sarutobi clan looked grief-stricken and was about to speak when Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his hand to stop him.

Hurriedly approaching the stretcher, Hiruzen Sarutobi unwrapped the bandages from Itachi's face until Itachi's features were clearly visible. He froze, stunned, and called out:

"Itachi?"

On the stretcher, hearing a familiar voice, Itachi weakly opened his mouth and replied, "Third Hokage... sir."

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately reached out and tightly grasped Itachi's right hand, patting the back of his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Don't speak yet, just rest well."

Itachi nodded slowly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice, "Summon a medical ninja team immediately to treat Itachi!"

"yes--"

Two ANBU members placed the stretcher on the floor of the conference room and left, then summoned the medical ninja waiting outside to continue treating Itachi.

There was a long silence.

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi released Itachi's hand and, along with the other clan heads, all turned to look at the Jonin of the Sarutobi clan.

"Let's talk about the main reasons why the Northwest Border fell so quickly!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a cold expression.

The commander of the Sarutobi clan said sorrowfully:

"Someone had set up an undetectable trap in our best defensive position, hiding Aburame Torune's body in it."

By the time we discovered the bodies, it was too late; the poisonous insects had spread, and the unit had suffered heavy casualties.

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a throbbing pain in his forehead. He sighed, took a few steps back, and sat back down in his seat.

In the seating area for the Aburame (a type of female entertainer), Aburame Shimi, wearing sunglasses, lowered her head in deep thought.

If Aburame Torune's corpse were removed from its protective suit and released onto the battlefield, the poisonous insects inside would multiply within the body, producing a toxic gas comparable to that generated by the Aburame clan's forbidden technique, the Pot Poison Technique. This could indeed annihilate an unsuspecting ninja army.

"It was made by Uchiha Yin Yue!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi lost his divine way.

The clan leaders looked shocked.

After Danzo's death, all the remaining loyal Danzo ninjas at the original Root organization base left the village.

Nichizen knew everything about this matter, but he didn't send anyone to stop it, in order to increase the probability of annihilating the Uchiha. Unexpectedly, this laid a huge hidden danger for the loss of the northwestern border of the Land of Fire.

"Tell me about... Itachi!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi rested his head on one hand, his thumb pressed against his temple.

"We found Itachi during our retreat. He was stuck in the mud, had lost his eyes, and was covered in non-fatal wounds... as if he had been abandoned by the roadside."

The commander said bitterly.

"He lost his eyes!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face trembled slightly, his body stiffened as if struck by lightning, but in one respect, he felt much more at ease.

The Konoha clan leaders felt a chill run down their spines and stood up one after another to stare at Uchiha Itachi, who was being treated.

Previously, Hiruzen Sarutobi strongly recommended Itachi to become the new leader of Root, and the clan leaders had no objections, all because of Itachi's eyes.

Now, the ferret has lost it.

When an Uchiha loses his Sharingan, it means he is half-useless, like a wild beast losing its sharpest claws.

The eldest elder of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Akamatsu, could no longer contain himself and suddenly stood up.

With a flick of his brown sleeves, the old man fixed his white eyes on the Jonin of the Sarutobi clan and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Hiashi?"

His voice, like a resounding bell, echoed in the conference room, bringing everyone's scattered thoughts back to reality.

"I'm sorry, we only found Itachi at the scene...we didn't find any other members of the Hyuga clan." The commander looked sad.

The meeting room fell into dead silence.

Itachi, who was responsible for protecting Hiashi, had his eyes stolen and was severely injured like this. How much better off could Hiashi and the other Hyuga clan ninjas be?

Although the Konoha nobles in the conference room had prepared for the worst when the northwestern border of the Land of Fire fell, they were still waiting for a definitive answer.

"The Hyuga clan head... is dead..."

When the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, Itachi's weak voice suddenly rang out.

This answer struck like a hammer blow to the hearts of everyone present.

Everyone looked at Itachi with different expressions.

The two ANBU members guarding Itachi, along with the medical ninjas, felt the oppressive aura emanating from the important figures present, and their breathing became somewhat difficult.

"well--"

The elder of the Hyuga clan sighed repeatedly, but his emotions did not erupt like a volcano.

Given how things have developed, it's not surprising that Japan's football team will fail.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in his chair with a sorrowful expression, as if he were a stone statue, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.

"Hokage, please summon Jiraiya back, otherwise no one can stop Onoki!" Shikaku suggested, who had been silent all along.

"Jiraiya-sama...is also dead."

Itachi spoke again.

I've had so much to do, I just got home. I'll try my best and finish some more tonight. Sorry!
