Escape From Konoha

"Uchiha...it's gone if you say no..."

The next day, Anbu came to the Uchiha clan's place on the edge of the village, and what they saw was a scene that shocked them.

Old people, children, women, babies, none survived.

The doors and windows of every household were stained red with blood, which shocked people.

Tianzang opened his mouth, and found that everything he said at the moment seemed pale and powerless.

The scene in front of me is really unbelievable.

The Uchiha clan, a wealthy ninja clan that has been undefeated for thousands of years, even if they were defeated by the Senju clan back then, the power of their family still stands tall in the ninja world.

Since the establishment of Konoha Village, it has been an extremely important force in Konoha's external resistance war.

He has made countless contributions to the stability of Konoha.

"Isn't this an obvious thing? Go search and see if there are any survivors."

Kakashi said in a solemn tone.

He had been prepared since the green light opened Route 2 last night, knowing that something big would happen in Konoha last night.

But he didn't expect that the entire Uchiha clan would be wiped out.

Who is it?

If you want to eliminate the Uchiha clan silently in the village, you must bypass the ANBU's defense system in the village...

And the most important thing is that it is silent...

As far as Kakashi knew, there were no more than five people in the ninja world who could do this.

And it requires many difficult prerequisites to be silent.

Otherwise, the ninjas of the Uchiha clan will definitely rebound. Faced with many Sharingan, Kakashi believes that he will be defeated quickly and is no match.

Thinking of all the abnormalities that have happened recently, a light flashed in Kakashi's eyes.

The one who did it...maybe was someone from the village.

Soon, Tianzang ran back, holding a comatose child in his arms.

"This is...Sasuke Uchiha?"

Kakashi recognized the identity of the child in Tenzo's arms.

"Yes, after we searched, he was the only one alive. Maybe he knows something."

"The rest are dead?"

"Yes, and the eyes are missing from the corpses of some Uchiha ninjas."

Tenzo replied.

"I will report this matter to Hokage-sama. You should send him to the hospital first. His chakra is very unstable. I am afraid that he was tortured with genjutsu before he fell into coma."

"yes."

Tenzo left with Sasuke in his arms.

Kakashi stood there thoughtfully.

All the Uchiha clan members were wiped out, why was there still one person left alive? Shouldn't we cut the grass and root it out? What is the murderer's purpose?

Last night, he followed the order and opened Route 2. Who was it for?

Route No. 2 was an escape route that Shiraishi didn't have time to activate when he defected while staying in Konoha.

Although it was just an alternative escape route, it took a lot of effort to build it at the time. Why did it need to be opened last night?

The whole thing is confusing.

There was no movement from the ANBU last night. It was only on patrol the next day that they discovered something unusual, and the Hokage ordered an investigation.

"That order..."

I'm afraid it wasn't Shiraishi, or any one of Ruri and Ayane who ordered it to him.

Someone else gave him the order.

"Misstep..."

But if you know the route and can contact him easily, even if it's not those three people, you must be someone close to those three people.

◎

Uchiha Sasuke woke up not long after being admitted to Konoha Hospital.

During this period, the Third Hokage personally, accompanied by ANBU, entered Sasuke's ward and asked about what happened to the Uchiha clan.

It was finally confirmed from Sasuke that in order to seek more powerful Sharingan power, Uchiha Itachi killed all his clan members in a frenzy and disappeared into the Uchiha clan's territory last night.

Although ANBU later launched a manhunt, judging from the time when the Uchiha clan was destroyed, it did not exceed eight o'clock last night.

More than ten hours have passed now, and Uchiha Itachi will not continue to stay in Konoha and bring about his own destruction. It is estimated that he has already left Konoha at this moment and fled to the border of Fire Country after running wildly all night.

This is not a difficult problem for Uchiha Itachi.

Before that, Uchiha Itachi was the ANBU directly under the Hokage and the captain of the third team. Not only was he very powerful, but as a member of the ANBU, he also knew how to escape from Konoha without going through the guards.

It was a secret intersection specially built for ANBU to avoid suspicion and perform secret missions. Only ANBU insiders would know about it.

Specific lines and slogans are required.

Uchiha Itachi must have used this information to quickly escape from Konoha Village after destroying the Uchiha clan.

Although this thing seemed unbelievable, Sasuke insisted that it was Uchiha Itachi who killed everyone in Uchiha, including his parents, and was the sinner of Konoha and Uchiha.

In addition, Uchiha Itachi didn't come to the ANBU for roll call in the morning. He thought it was because something happened at home suddenly, which delayed him a little.

Looking at it now, according to Sasuke's confession, Uchiha Itachi absconded out of fear of crime.

So, in the afternoon, the Hokage found Kakashi and Tenzo of the second ANBU team.

"As you have heard, the Uchiha clan was destroyed by Itachi."

Hiruzen said with a serious face.

"What? How is that possible?"

Tianzang thought it was just some rumors without factual basis, but he didn't expect that the truth turned out to be true, which shocked him extremely.

Kakashi said nothing. Although he was surprised, he was still calm.

It's just strange, why Itachi can destroy the Uchiha clan alone.

No matter how strong Itachi is, he cannot deal with the Uchiha clan alone. Even if it is a sneak attack and using his identity as a member of the same clan, it is impossible to do this.

Moreover, the ANBU's range of activities last night was intentionally or unintentionally avoided by the Uchiha clan.

This had to remind Kakashi of something not so good.

But he didn't expect... that such a huge Uchiha clan would be destroyed so easily.

The bad nature spread by this incident is no different from the defection incident more than ten years ago.

"This is the fact. After the meeting decision, we have regarded Uchiha Itachi as a dangerous S-class criminal... This news will be announced to all countries by your second team. We hope that the criminal Uchiha Itachi will be arrested as soon as possible to avoid It has brought great panic to all countries."

"Yes, I understand, Hokage-sama."

Kakashi nodded.

The Uchiha clan has been a wealthy and prominent family in the ninja world since ancient times, and its inheritance has not declined for thousands of years.

Looking back on its history, it is longer and longer than the history of the five major countries.

It's just that now in Konoha, there is only one single seedling left for Uchiha, which is a pity.

I have to say, this... is really an amazing 'good move'.

Kakashi had some doubts as to whether there were spies sent by the Kingdom of Demons among the high-level officials of Konoha.

He retreated with Tenzo to deal with the follow-up matters of Uchiha Itachi's defection.

The Third Hokage, who was left with a tired look on his face, picked up a cigarette rod and smoked in the office, and heard a bitter sigh.

◎

The next task is to intercept the Sunagakure troops supporting the Bear Country in the Country of Wind.

At this moment, Liuli has summoned several members of the Uchiha clan and thousands of elite ninjas from the Kingdom of Ghosts, ready to go.

Because the Kingdom of Ghosts cut off all commercial cooperation with the Kingdom of Wind more than a month ago, the conflict between the two countries escalated again.

The Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association will no longer provide any medicine, food, water and other survival resources to merchants from the Kingdom of Wind.

He also publicly stated that only if the Kingdom of Wind repays all the debts owed by the Kingdom of Ghosts, including interest, can the two countries resume normal commercial trade.

Although it would not make the Country of Wind find it difficult to move forward, it was a direct attack on the opponent's face and publicly tore apart the pretense of the Country of Wind. It also made Sunagakure Village and the Daimyos of the Country of Wind angry.

As the order of the daimyo of the land of winds was transmitted to Sand Hidden again, a military meeting was held within Sand Hidden immediately, and discussions were started on whether to expand the conflict with the land of ghosts.

Although both sides hold their own opinions, more Sunagakure senior officials believe that if the situation escalates again, it is inevitable that the scale of the battle will expand.

Moreover, the ghost country has dealt a serious blow to the business of the wind country without negotiation. Does it also mean that the ghost country has nothing to do except to threaten business?

So far, at the border of the ghost country, after the investigation of the hidden sand perception force, only scattered ninja troops of the ghost country can still be seen, patrolling there routinely.

It is estimated that the military of the Kingdom of Ghosts is also very aware that in military competition, the Kingdom of Ghosts is at an absolute disadvantage.

Although it is possible to use special ninja tools to gain a certain advantage in the early stage, once Sand Yin is familiar with their fighting style, he will quickly launch a counterattack and invade the territory of the ghost country.

Based on this background, in the next week, it has become an inevitable trend for Sand Hidden Village to increase its troops to the Xiong Country again and increase the military threat to the Ghost Country.

What Liuli has to do is to wait for the border conflict between the Kingdom of Bears and the Kingdom of Ghosts to break out, use the base of Star Ninja Village as a cover, cut off the supply route from the Country of Wind to the Country of Bears, and make the 1,000 sand ninjas who stay in the Country of Bears become one An isolated and helpless army.

As for that time, there is no need to care whether the identity is exposed or not.

Just when Liuli took action, Baishi found her. Before she could take the initiative to speak, Baishi said with a heavy expression:

"Liu Li, there is something I want you to know. The Uchiha clan in Konoha was exterminated last night."

"!?"

Liuli's eyes widened slightly, and her brain suddenly fell into a blank state.

Because what Shiraishi said was something that really exceeded the scope of her brain's instant judgment.

Seeing Liuli, he seemed a little disbelieving, so Baishi had no choice but to say:

"This news was notified by Kakashi, and the countries still don't know about it. Kakashi will not joke about this kind of thing. This matter is probably true."

After saying that, he looked at Liuli with worried eyes.

He was also shocked by the extermination of the Konoha Uchiha clan.

Such a huge Uchiha clan, how could it be possible to destroy it as soon as it is said.

When he was told about this, it took a lot of effort to calm down, not to mention Liuli, who has the same root as Konoha Uchiha.

"Is it Xiao?"

Liuli asked this sentence after being silent for a long time.

"It wasn't Akatsuki, it was Itachi Uchiha who did it."

Shiraishi sighed.

A thirteen-year-old child can do such an exaggerated thing, regardless of his level of strength, killing so many relatives, as well as his own parents, is the most terrifying thing if his mentality has not collapsed.

"Itachi Uchiha?"

It's not that Liuli doesn't believe it, but this answer is nonsense.

How could a thirteen-year-old kid wipe out the Uchiha clan with a huge population in the huge Konoha village?

Even after the Third Ninja War, the number of jounin in the Uchiha clan dropped sharply, but there were still many jonin who remained in the clan.

No matter how you put it, this kind of rhetoric is too exaggerated.

"Yes. Now Konoha Uchiha, the only surviving Uchiha clan member is Uchiha Itachi's younger brother Uchiha Sasuke. He personally confirmed that it was Uchiha Itachi who killed the clan members."

Shiraishi nodded seriously.

"No way. He can't do this alone."

Liuli firmly believed in his deduction.

She knew very well the power of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan. It was impossible for Uchiha Itachi to destroy the entire clan alone, and it was still under Konoha's nose.

The surrounding Anbu and Konoha jounin will not sit idly by and will definitely support the Uchiha clan, even if there are gaps and conflicts in their relationship.

"If... Konoha provides an environment that can be exploited, then the nature of the matter will be different."

Shiraishi said meaningfully.

"What's the meaning?"

"Some speculations from Kakashi. When the Uchiha was destroyed last night, the ANBU's range of activities did not come close to the Uchiha clan. The Uchiha clan was also very quiet. There were not many changes as usual. It's just the ANBU the next day. When I went on patrol, I discovered the anomaly that the Uchiha clan was wiped out."

"You mean..."

Liuli's fists suddenly clenched, and he also guessed something bad. The three Magatama Sharingan appeared in his eyes, and murderous intent emerged.

"After all, such a big family was wiped out and was only discovered the next day. It's very suspicious no matter how you look at it, isn't it? Of course, these are just speculations. It is still unknown whether the high-level officials of Konoha are involved."

In the absence of absolute evidence, Shiraishi cannot make any inferences.

No matter how logical the reasoning is, until there is no evidence, it is just reasoning.

And reasoning cannot pinpoint the cause of the Uchiha clan's annihilation to the top brass of Konoha.

But Shiraishi found that if the truth about the genocide of the Uchiha clan was closer to the top management of Konoha, he found that many unclear parts seemed less puzzling and more reasonable.

This should not be an inner illusion.

Liuli let out a long breath and tried to calm down.

Although he has long been separated from Konoha's Uchiha system, it is still a family relationship that is thicker than water.

I have also imagined how I would deal with Konoha's Uchiha if one day in the future I faced him...

Now I'm fine, this problem that has troubled me for a long time no longer exists.

However, the destruction of Uchiha at the hands of her own people was definitely the outcome she was least willing to accept.

Too cowardly.

"I understand. Once things settle down in the Kingdom of Ghosts, I will go to Konoha myself."

Liuli said.

"Are you going to seek the truth?"

Shiraishi asked.

If Liuli planned to do this, it would be very difficult.

Even if the genocide of the Uchiha clan was related to the high-level officials of Konoha, they would not admit it and would only blame Uchiha Itachi for everything.

If Uchiha Itachi really signed a 'contract' with the top management of Konoha, this development is inevitable.

The development of things at this moment is a bit beyond Baishi's expectation.

It's a bit sad to think that a place that has survived for many years in the past has been wiped out.

Liuli glanced at Baishi and shook her head.

"No, I'm not that boring. I just went there to receive the legacy that belongs to Uchiha. Even if Uchiha declines, no one else can get a chance to get involved."

After finishing speaking, Liuli left without dragging his feet.

◎

"Soon, Konoha will inform the entire ninja world that you have destroyed the Uchiha clan and become a traitor to Konoha."

Under the cold and gloomy sky, this is a withered forest dominated by dark colors.

Madara, wearing an orange spiral mask, said to Itachi.

"It doesn't matter, I'm ready."

Itachi gave Madara a cold look.

This man must be vigilant.

"What about Danzo? He may not keep his promise to you."

"If he takes action against Sasuke, I will tell the enemy a lot of Konoha's secrets."

Itachi replied calmly.

And with the help of the Third Hokage, Danzo did not dare to act rashly.

As long as Danzo still wants to control himself, he will do his best to protect Sasuke's safety.

Once Sasuke is lost, Danzo will lose the capital to hold him hostage.

When something unexpected happens to Sasuke, his position is, in Danzo's view, an uncertain factor.

The kind of man who lives in the shadows would not be so short-sighted.

"Really? I kind of regret signing a contract with you. Konoha... is really a big trouble."

Madara said.

Itachi narrowed his eyes and stared at Madara's Sharingan, assessing the authenticity of Madara's words.

"For you, Konoha losing Uchiha should not be a worry."

"No, isn't your brother still there? His talent may still be higher than yours. If he is controlled by Konoha, he might become the enemy of our organization in the future."

Madara said without seeming to be lying.

"You're worrying too much."

"No one can predict what will happen in the future. However, as you said, maybe I am worrying too much. After living in secret for so many years, I must be cautious. I have made a mistake in dealing with Uchiha Ruri. Many times.”

"Missed many times? Is she stronger than you?"

Itachi had always cared about the answer to this matter.

"A little weaker than me."

He said with his face not red and his heart not beating.

It’s so nice to wear a mask.

"But the two people around her are no less troublesome than her. On the contrary, among the three people, Qianba Baishi is the most troublesome. If you want to break the core of the three, Qianba Baishi is the only breakthrough. But it is also the most dangerous breakthrough point.”

Madara added.

"I know, I will be more careful when I encounter you in the future."

Itachi nodded.

Madara's statement is very similar to that of the Third Hokage.

Uchiha Ruri, Chiba Shiraishi, and Hinata Ayane have been members of the same team for a long time. After so many years, the level of integration between them has probably reached a level that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

However, what surprised him was that the core of the team was not the strongest Uchiha Ruri, but the seemingly weakest Chiba Shiraishi.

Then he thought of the information he saw in Konoha.

Although Chiba Shiraishi is slightly weaker, a lot of information about him is vague and there is no specific statistics. He is an extremely mysterious man.

The unknown is the most dangerous, and it makes sense.

Madara said that the core of the opponent's three-person team must have suffered losses at the hands of the three of them in the past, so he was so sure.

"You can't just be careful. If you encounter three people at the same time, you won't even have a chance to escape. If you just meet one of them, you may have to think about how to escape instead of fighting head-on."

Even with the Mangekyou Sharingan, it's difficult to fight. Itachi understood Madara's underlying meaning very well.

It was reminding him not to look for those three people rashly before the time was right. Even the order given to him by Konoha included instructions on how to eradicate the three people.

It seemed that those three people were much more dangerous than he thought.

Madara kept telling him that he only had to deal with Uchiha Ruri, not Chiba Shiraishi and Hinata Ayane.

That means that by then the battlefield should be divided and the three of them will be defeated one by one.

"However, you don't need to worry. Our organization has a ten-year agreement with Chiba Shiraishi. There is still a long time for development before the contract is completed. In the next few years, even if you meet any of them, As long as you don't disrupt their actions or deliberately target them, they won't take action against you."

"Then where are they hiding?"

Madara glanced at Itachi.

"You'll find out soon enough."

Itachi heard laughter from Madara's mouth.

Is this something to laugh at? Always feel that the other party is up to no good.

"By the way, I'm going to meet a group of your companions later. Don't forget, my current name is A Fei. I'm not an official member of the organization yet, but just like you, I'm a newcomer to the organization. Don't get confused about this. ."

Madara told Itachi.

"knew."

"Then, please give me your advice, Mr. Itachi."

Madara's tone suddenly became cheerful, completely different from his previous tone.

Not long after, following Madara forward, in a dilapidated temple, a tall figure suddenly appeared on a broken wall and intercepted Madara and Itachi.

The opponent was carrying a bandage sword that was taller than a man on his back, and wore a Kirigakure ninja forehead protector with scratches on his forehead. His long dark blue hair matched his shark-like face.

He was wearing the same black red cloud coat as Madara, but the difference was that he had a ring with the word "南" engraved on it on the ring finger of his left hand.

"I just heard from the leader that the Uchiha clan was wiped out. It's really unbelievable. I didn't expect that the murderer who wiped out the clan is really here. In other words, he and I are teammates, right?"

The man named Mikigaki Kisame grinned with sharp teeth, as if he had seen something very interesting. His expression was bloodthirsty, giving Itachi an uncomfortable feeling.

"Yes, Kisame-senpai, this is Mr. Itachi. Oh, speaking of it, Mr. Itachi is really powerful. He killed the famous Uchiha in the ninja world by himself. It was even more exaggerated than Kisame-senpai's assassination of the Sui Daimyo. ."

Madara continued to answer in a cheerful tone, accompanied by exaggerated movements, which were natural and made Itachi even more wary.

As expected of Madara Uchiha, he was able to change his image so easily. In this way, this level of disguise ability makes it even more difficult for people to guess his true identity.

What a terrible existence.

"I see, don't make fun of me."

Kisame said helplessly.

With that said, he jumped down from the broken wall and came to Itachi. Looking at Itachi who was much thinner than himself, Kisame didn't dare to be careless at all.

No matter what the truth behind the genocide of the Uchiha clan is, no one who can be absorbed into this organization and become a core member is a simple person.

"I'm Inigaki Kisame. You used to be an Anbu member of Konoha. You should know some things about me, so I won't introduce myself much. From today on, I will be a team member with you. If you are not satisfied, you can always Apply to the leader for a replacement."

Kisame said.

"No."

Itachi shook his head.

"Really?" Kisame smiled with interest: "Then, come with me, the leader is waiting for you in front. Although there are not many people in the organization now, there are just two more people from Konoha with you. Now Including you, there are three of us in Konoha alone in our organization."

In addition to the three from the Demon Country, there are six S-class rebel ninjas.

As expected of Konoha, even in terms of the number of S-class rebellious ninjas, they were not to be outdone and dominated the other ninja villages to compete for the top spot.

It was just this exaggerated performance that made Kisame want to complain in every sense of the word.
