The internal strife continues.
However, the battlefield has already shifted to outside Konoha.
The Uchiha clan, led by the Eighth Hokage, launched a fierce attack at first, but as time went on, Konoha reacted and the Uchiha faced a strong counterattack.
"Walk!"
Seeing that they were outmatched, the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha quickly gave an order.
In fact, from the beginning, Uchiha Yatsuho knew that this rebellion could not possibly be a complete success.
The Uchiha are indeed the largest ninja clan in Konoha at present.
However, the Sarutobi clan should not be underestimated.
In addition, there are the Anbu, Root, and other ninja clans such as Shimura.
There are practically no people who would side with the Uchiha.
Uchiha Hachimoku had hoped that the Hyuga clan would respond, because in his view, the Hyuga, like the Uchiha, had suffered from Konoha's targeting and suppression over the years.
But no.
The Hyuga clan has absolutely no idea about this.
Moreover, they put in extra effort in suppressing the Uchiha clan.
"We Uchiha can't rely on anyone else; we can only rely on ourselves."
The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha withdrew his gaze.
"No, even within our Uchiha clan, there are many people we can't rely on."
Previously, when he carried the corpse of Uchiha Tong and charged towards Uchiha Yamagata.
The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha's idea was to kill Uchiha Yamagata first, and then integrate the power of the entire Uchiha clan, so that he could seize power in a short period of time.
The reason for the short timeframe is that once ninjas like Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru return, the Uchiha will have no chance of winning.
But to the disappointment of the Eighth Hokage Uchiha...
Even though Konoha had already gone to such lengths towards the Uchiha.
Even if Uchiha Tong's corpse was right in front of them.
However, there are still quite a few Uchiha who are unwilling to rebel against Konoha.
They preferred to distance themselves from the Eighth Hokage of the Uchiha clan.
This was something that Uchiha Hachimoku found utterly unbelievable.
But by this time, the Eighth Hokage Uchiha also knew that seizing power was no longer an option.
Therefore, knowing that it was impossible to seize power, the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha calmed down and quickly made a decision.
We'll charge into Sarutobi's territory, we'll charge into Shimura's territory, we'll kill as many as we can.
Afterwards, when Konoha focused all its resources on supporting the two ninja clans and surrounding the Uchiha base, they immediately changed direction and led the Uchiha clan to escape from Konoha.
The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha refused to believe that, in such a vast ninja world, there was no place for the Uchiha clan outside of Konoha.
The grudge against Konoha will be settled slowly later.
"Only in this way can my Uchiha clan have a glimmer of hope."
"Otherwise, they would perish under Konoha's targeted suppression, and even their surname would be forgotten by the ninja world."
The Konoha ninjas were in pursuit.
Danzo's face darkened, and he gave the Root ninja a death order.
"Not a single one can be spared!"
This time, the Shimura family suffered extremely heavy casualties.
From the very beginning, the Uchiha clan was targeting the Shimura group and the Sarutobi clan.
Compared to the Sarutobi clan, the Shimura clan was smaller and weaker, and was also the Uchiha's primary target for revenge.
After all, the matter of Uchiha Kagami happened back then.
Uchiha Tong died just now.
Those Uchiha who saw the corpse of Uchiha Tanaka, who saw those four bloody words, felt a hatred for Danzo that was stronger than their hatred for anyone else.
Furthermore, the Uchiha clan knew that the Shimura clan was weaker than the Sarutobi clan and was an easy target.
The images of his clansmen's tragic deaths kept flashing through Danzo's mind.
This made Danzo's expression grow increasingly grim.
"Yes, Lord Danzo."
In the forest, a member of the Sarutobi clan was chasing an Uchiha.
He was furious because he witnessed his people being killed.
However, he didn't realize that he was chasing too fast.
So much so that they overlooked the fact that their companions had not yet caught up.
The Uchiha in front glanced back and snorted coldly.
"Still chasing me? Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
"Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish!"
Suddenly, the Uchiha stopped and charged at the opponent before the Sarutobi clan ninja could react, flicking his wrist at the same time.
"call out!"
A whooshing sound rang out.
More than a dozen shuriken flew towards the Sarutobi clan ninja at the same time.
The Sarutobi clan ninja's pupils contracted, and he quickly dodged.
However, this was only part of the Uchiha's attack. The moment he threw the shuriken, the Uchiha was already forming hand seals, and by then, the seals were complete.
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
A pillar of fire suddenly appeared, heading straight towards the Sarutobi clan ninja.
Because of the shuriken, the Sarutobi clan ninja's position was completely restricted, leaving them no room to dodge the Uchiha's Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique.
It looked like the Sarutobi clan ninja was about to be hit by the flames.
Sudden.
"Instantaneous Movement Technique!"
A figure suddenly appeared, blocking the path of the Sarutobi clan ninja.
To form hand seals at a faster speed.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
The two ninjutsu clashed, and countless flames scattered in all directions.
"Uchiha Shisui!"
When Uchiha Oki saw the figure that suddenly appeared and protected the Sarutobi clan ninja, his face darkened.
"Are you going to betray your clan and side with Konoha?"
Uchiha Shisui removed his Anbu mask, revealing a struggling expression.
"Senior Oki, there may be a misunderstanding between the Uchiha clan and the village."
Uchiha Oki snorted coldly.
"Misunderstanding? Uchiha Shisui, do you even believe that yourself? Putting everything else aside, let me ask you this: Is Uchiha Tong's death real? Were his injuries caused by the Wind Release: Vacuum Wave Technique?"
"Since you've chosen to betray your clan and side with Konoha, there's nothing more to say."
"Then let's die together."
Before Uchiha Oki could finish speaking, he had already made his move.
However, Uchiha Oki underestimated Uchiha Shisui's strength.
This junior, much younger than him, was already stronger than him and easily neutralized all his attacks. If Uchiha Shisui hadn't shown no intention to kill him, he probably wouldn't have lasted more than two or three rounds.
Realizing this, Uchiha Oki did not continue the pursuit and quickly found an opportunity to escape.
Uchiha Shisui didn't chase after them, but turned back and helped the Sarutobi clan ninja up.
But the other party pushed him away.
"Uchiha Shisui, come on, your Uchiha clan has already rebelled, what are you pretending to be a good person for? So many members of our Sarutobi clan died at the hands of your Uchiha clan, we will never forget this grudge."
Uchiha Shisui's face darkened, his eyes filled with confusion.
I don't know why it suddenly turned out this way.
I don't know what the future holds.
What should I do?
