Konoha: The Innately Evil Uchiha

Chapter 95 Itachi, Resign! (Please Subscribe)

Itachi's words were like a thunderclap, leaving the Konoha high-ranking officials, clan heads, and elders present stunned.

"Jiraiya is dead??"

"When did this happen?"

Did you see it with your own eyes?

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado spoke at the same time, their faces grim, as if they had lost their parents.

The two Hokage advisors sat on either side of Hiruzen Sarutobi, remaining silent until now, as Hiashi's death had not drawn their attention.

Upon hearing the news of Jiraiya's death, even if it might be false, it felt as if their hearts had been pierced by kunai.

Iwagakure attacked Kikyo Castle, and the Uchiha rogue ninja fled the Valley of Retribution…

Neither of the two pieces of information combined could match the severity of the blow that Jiraiya's death dealt to Konoha.

"No...no...no, Jiraiya can't die, he can't die...He's the one chosen by Mount Myōboku, how could he possibly die?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turned pale, his lips turned purple, and his eyes, which had previously held a hint of majesty, were now filled with confusion as he stared intently at Itachi.

Jiraiya is the only disciple he can rely on now, a disciple who will definitely step forward in times of crisis for Konoha!

One of the legendary ninjas of Konoha in modern times.

How could someone just die like that!

"Cough cough cough—"

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly couldn't catch his breath, coughed violently, his eyes turned bloodshot, and as he suffocated, he subconsciously looked towards the spot where Danzo used to sit.

But now the place is deserted.

"Danzo...Danzo..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi muttered to himself, his mind wandering as he slumped in the main seat, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"The Third Hokage!"

"grown ups!!"

The meeting room was in chaos. Everyone looked terrified and rushed forward to surround Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Hiruzen, Hiruzen!"

Koharu, looking anxious, widened her eyes and hugged Hiruzen tightly, releasing a medical ninjutsu to soothe him.

The clan leaders, their minds in turmoil, watched helplessly as Hiruzen Sarutobi's complexion returned to normal, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

The situation inside and outside Konoha is already so dire. If Hiruzen Sarutobi falls at this critical moment, Konoha will surely perish.

At that time, these clan leaders can then abandon their duties, divide their belongings, and disperse on the spot.

As for fighting?

What's the point of fighting?

Jiraiya is dead, and the Third Hokage is old. Who can defeat the Iwa ninja forces led by the still vigorous Onoki?

Akimichi Choza, the head of the Akimichi clan, suddenly had a thought.

It seems that Onoki, the second-generation Hokage, is older than their Third Hokage...

"Sandaime...sama..."

The weasel called softly.

He felt the same despair.

half an hour.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes darted around, his expression returning to normal, and his breathing became smooth. He raised his hand to indicate, "I'm fine, I won't die. Itachi, you can continue."

After confirming that Hiruzen Sarutobi was alright, the clan heads and two Hokage advisors returned to their seats one after another.

Everyone looked at Itachi again.

"I witnessed Jiraiya stepping forward to save the Hiashi clan leader... and both of them died by Uchiha Yinyue's Susanoo sword." Itachi finished slowly, then sighed, "My Mangekyou Sharingan was also taken by Yinyue."

"..."

The meeting room fell silent once again.

"Uchiha Yinyue, it's Uchiha Yinyue again! Konoha's current predicament is all thanks to this Uchiha Yinyue!"

The Konoha clan leaders were ashen-faced, unable to recall any of the deeds of this unknown Uchiha Yinyue during his time in Konoha!

"Damn it!!"

Enraged, Hiruzen Sarutobi gritted his teeth, clenched his right fist, and slammed it hard on the solid wood conference table.

bang——

With a soft crack, the conference table dented and the floor shattered.

Everyone looked grave.

The fall of the Land of Fire, the death of his son, and the death of his disciple were all blamed on Uchiha Yinyue.

Perhaps no one present hated the other party more than the Third Hokage. Everyone was lost in thought, but they still brought their focus back to the present moment.

Jiraiya and Hiashi died at the hands of Susanoo.

Susanoo!

For Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage's advisor, and the various clans, it was a word that was both familiar and distant.

During the late Warring States period, the ninja world was still in an era where ninjas were mainly from clans.

Nowadays, all the major clans in Konoha have been severely beaten by the Uchiha clan member who activated Susanoo.

If Uchiha Yinyue mastered that "divine power" and easily killed Jiraiya, does that mean that Yinyue has reached the level of that Uchiha from the late Warring States period?

The details of Hiruzen Sarutobi are unknown.

The clan leaders remained silent.

After a long silence, Itachi regained some strength and added, "Yinyue's Mangekyou Sharingan can not only manipulate the minds of others, but also absorb their chakra for its own use. Only ninjas with strong mental power who also possess the Mangekyou Sharingan can resist its corruption."

"well--"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed deeply, staring up at the ceiling, his mind in turmoil, unable to hear a word Itachi said.

If Jiraiya had been there, it would have been true to his style to step forward and save Hiashi.

But to save Hiashi, whose life or death was of little importance, they were willing to sacrifice another one of the Three Legendary Sannin…

This deal resulted in a disheartening loss.

Hiruzen Sarutobi fell into deep thought.

Even during the previous three Shinobi World Wars, Konoha had never faced such a desperate situation as it is today.

Itachi added:

"Yinyue absorbed the chakra of the ninjas who were originally chasing them, which is why she was able to activate Susanoo and unleash that power to its fullest extent."

After hearing these words, apart from Shikaku who had already deduced the truth, the other clan leaders were belatedly enlightened and suddenly realized how the Uchiha rogue ninja group managed to escape the Valley of Sanctions.

"this……"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared blankly, a sharp pain shooting through his heart. He was filled with regret and remorse, for he had made another wrong move.

According to Itachi, the real reason that led to Jiraiya and Hiashi's deaths was that Hiruzen Sarutobi used the power of his allies and public opinion to manipulate the former rogue ninja.

His meticulously planned scheme led to the death of his disciple!

Hiruzen Sarutobi could no longer maintain his dignified demeanor and slumped back into his chair.

A report suddenly came from outside the door:

"Lord Hokage, the sages Fukasaku and Shima from Mount Myōboku wish to see you."

Upon hearing this, the tense expressions of the Konoha clan leaders eased slightly, and they all looked towards the gate.

The people of Mount Myōboku are the most qualified to confirm whether Jiraiya truly sacrificed himself; it's difficult to convince them based solely on Itachi's account.

"Please invite the two of you in quickly!" Hiruzen Sarutobi was invigorated and personally got up to greet them.

Shima, carrying a bundle of summoning scrolls, entered the conference room beside Fukasaku. The two toads looked dejected as they scanned the crowd and noticed the Third Hokage walking towards them.

"Two immortals... Jiraiya... him..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi anxiously asked the question that everyone else present most wanted to know.

wow-

With a heavy heart, Shima opened the summoning scroll, pointed to the strange blood pact that had appeared on it, and sighed, "Jiraiya is dead, along with Bunta."

The clan leaders felt their scalps tingle again, their bodies stiffening in their seats, their minds replaying the time when they fought against Gamabunta, the Nine-Tails, alongside the Fourth Hokage during the Nine-Tails' rampage!

"Bunta...is also dead..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi completely lost his spirit, staggered back a few steps, and plopped back into his chair.

He paused for a long time, then finally looked at the itachi lying on the ground and said in a deep voice:

"Itachi, you should resign!"

You've worked hard too.

"Go back and get some rest. As for the affairs and businesses originally managed by the Uchiha clan, hand them over to the Hyuga clan and other families."

To repel external threats, one must first secure internal stability.

Dividing the assets of the Uchiha clan and the Shimura clan was the price Hiruzen Sarutobi offered to Hiashi Hyuga to oversee the annihilation of the Uchiha rogue ninja.

Regardless of whether Hiashi lives or dies, Hiruzen Sarutobi will fulfill his promise in order to win over the Hyuga clan.

Originally, Hiruzen Sarutobi was wary of Itachi and was prepared to communicate with Itachi to gradually divide the Uchiha clan's assets. But now that Itachi is mostly crippled, there is no need to worry. In this matter, he should thank Yinyue.

Itachi sensed something was wrong and cried out urgently:

"Sandaime-sama!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, "Send Itachi back to the Uchiha clan's territory, take good care of him, and let him recover in peace!"

"yes--"

That's all for tonight. Everyone get some rest, and we'll continue tomorrow. If we can manage a lot of updates, we'll keep doing it. By the way, please give us some recommendation votes and monthly tickets! I've been so busy writing that I haven't had time to set up a group... and even if I did, not many people would join...
