Chapter 34 - Chapter 34: Who Massacred the Uchiha Clan?

"Next, please look at the scene for the third question."

[In the scene, the young Uchiha Itachi sits calmly by the doorway, half his body blocked by the door frame.]

[In front of him are members of the Uchiha Clan gathered for a meeting.]

["If you ask me, we should just charge into the Hokage Building and kill that old Sandaime! The Uchiha Clan should take over Konoha Village!" A clan member stood up and shouted.

"And Danzo Shimura! That sinister bastard, he has repeatedly targeted us Uchiha. I wish I could grind his bones to dust!"

Another clan member mentioned Danzo Shimura, his face ferocious and his tone vicious.

"What about the villagers? What if they resist?"

A clan member raised a question, worried that the Uchiha's rule would not be accepted by the villagers after killing off the Hokage Faction.

"Then kill them all! If they don't accept the glorious Uchiha, then they can go to hell!"

In the firelight, the face of a clan member was half-hidden in the shadows, speaking with the voice of a devil.]

[The young Uchiha Itachi was expressionless, but his fists were tightly clenched. He looked up and saw his father, Uchiha Fugaku, sitting solemnly as the guard of the assembly, silent and not stopping the radical words of the clan members.]

Seeing this scene, the people inside the Hokage Building were shocked and horrified.

"Has it really reached this point? These guys are truly insane!"

Jiraiya exclaimed in astonishment.

"Arrogant and conceited fools, they all deserve a good lesson!"

In any case, the Senju were one of Konoha's founders, and Tsunade also held deep feelings for Konoha.

Seeing the Uchiha Clan members wildly threaten to kill villagers, she couldn't help but get angry.

"See? The Uchiha Clan is indeed the 'Evil Clan,' truly crazy bastards."

The insane statements of the Uchiha Clan finally allowed Homura Mitokado to regain some confidence, and he shouted loudly in reprimand.

"Lord Tobirama's judgment was indeed correct. The Uchiha Clan should be strictly controlled!"

Utatane Koharu also spoke with righteous indignation.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, having learned his lesson somewhat, remained silent, merely smoking quietly.

[The scene continues. After the assembly disbanded, the clan members left. His father, Fugaku Uchiha, also went to the small house to discuss the preparations with the elders. Uchiha Itachi walked alone on the road home from the Nanga Shrine.]

["Yo, isn't that Itachi? Why are you still out so late?"

Under the moonlight, a figure appeared. It was Uchiha Shisui, dressed in Anbu attire, just returning home from work.]

["Shisui-nii." Uchiha Itachi, filled with unspoken words, suddenly found someone to confide in.

"The clan members, they..." But for a moment, he didn't know where to start.]

[Choking up, Uchiha Itachi's tears suddenly began to flow.]

Seeing this, Uchiha Shisui's face turned pale green:

"Was there another assembly just now? Those guys must have said a lot of wild things again, right?"]

[He knew without thinking that the atmosphere in the Uchiha Clan was strange right now, almost like a powder keg that would immediately explode with just a spark. Uchiha Shisui understood this clearly.]

"Don't mind them, Itachi." Uchiha Shisui bent down, patted Uchiha Itachi's shoulder, and showed a warm smile:

"Lord Sandaime and the others will find a way. As long as there is a sliver of hope, we will strive to achieve it."

"To reconcile the Village and the Clan—that is my goal."]

"Did Shisui guide Itachi? What a gentle child."

Minato Namikaze sighed, growing more fond of Uchiha Shisui.

An Uchiha Clan member who is devoted to Konoha and possesses such a warm heart.

"Kagami's descendant truly reminds me of Kagami."

Homura Mitokado sighed with emotion.

"Indeed, they are exactly alike. Kagami also smiled so warmly back then."

Utatane Koharu, meanwhile, recalled the days when they served together under Senju Tobirama.

[On the Nanga River Cliff, two people stood. One was Uchiha Shisui, who had lost his right eye, and the other was Uchiha Itachi.]

["Itachi, the Uchiha coup d'état is unstoppable. Once Konoha has a civil war, other Villages will surely seize the opportunity. I originally intended to use Kotoamatsukami to stop the coup, but Danzo Shimura stole my right eye. He wants to protect the Village in his own way."

"So that he doesn't find my left eye, I am giving it to you."

"I can only entrust this to you, my best friend. Protect the Village and the Uchiha name!"

After speaking, Uchiha Shisui removed his left eye and handed it to Uchiha Itachi.]

["What do you plan to do next?" Uchiha Itachi asked.

"If I die, the situation should change. I have already written my will!" Uchiha Shisui retreated step by step.

"Wait! Shisui!" Uchiha Itachi nervously reached out, attempting to grab Shisui.

"Don't stop me, Itachi."

The next second, Uchiha Shisui jumped off the cliff with a smile, thus ending his ill-fated life.]

"Was that after the scene in the previous question?"

"That bastard Danzo, he really never does anything good!"

Nara Shikaku secretly pondered, immediately connecting the two scenes.

"What a shame, all because of Danzo Shimura!"

That old immortal ruined Konoha's future!

An Uchiha who awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan is more important to Konoha Village than ten thousand Danzo Shimuras combined!

Minato Namikaze watched the scene, frowning tightly, anticipating that the next images might reveal a massive upheaval.

Hiruzen Sarutobi no longer wanted to speak at this point. He watched the scene expressionlessly, taking puff after puff of his cigarette.

Kakashi Hatake lowered his head, remaining silent.

He recalled the relieved smile Uchiha Shisui wore before jumping off the cliff, and couldn't help but think of Uchiha Obito, who was crushed under the boulder and entrusted him with the care of Rin Nohara.

The two former Advisors beside him were also silent.

Seeing the crowd in the Hokage Building sink into contemplation once more, Ye Chen could only clap his hands to startle everyone awake:

"Alright, the scene for the third question has finished playing. Next, please look at the fourth question."

As he spoke, Ye Chen waved his hand, and the fourth question appeared.

[Question Four: In Konoha Year 54, the once-flourishing Uchiha Clan, passed down since the Sengoku period, was annihilated, leaving only two surviving members. Who committed the act?]

A: Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi

B: Root Leader Danzo Shimura

C: Uchiha Itachi

D: Uchiha Obito

"Obito? Why is his name there!"

Kakashi Hatake, who had been silent all this time, cried out in surprise, simply because he saw that most familiar name.

"Obito? Did he destroy the clan he was born into because he hated the Village?"

"Or perhaps he felt the Uchiha Clan would become an obstacle to executing the eye of the moon plan?"

Nara Shikaku pondered internally.

"No, compared to the first two names, Obito's possibility is not high."

Nara Shikaku made a judgment in his heart.

Uchiha Obito, hiding in the shadows, was able to strike Konoha Village once during the Nine-Tails Attack.

But that doesn't mean Konoha, which already knows of his existence and is on guard, would let him easily infiltrate the Village again and massacre the entire Uchiha Clan.

That is the Uchiha Clan!

How could one person wipe them out?

Even if all the Ninja in the Village acted together, they would have to pay a huge price!
