Chapter 69: Night of Extermination Comes
In the Hokage building.
The 4 higher-ups of Konoha... oh, now without Danzo, it should be 3.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, Homura, and Koharu all sat in the Hokage office.
"Uchiha Yashiro and the others are preparing a lot of explosive tags and various ninja tools, and I am afraid that a coup will soon be launched." Itachi said with a heavy voice.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, his face full of sorrow.
He said, "The situation has come to this point, alas.""
This lament was somewhat sincere.
In Sarutobi Hiruzen's original plan, he just wanted to suppress the Uchiha clan.
It would be best if the Uchiha clan could bow down to him like the Hyuga clan.
As long as he could ensure that his power and position would be stable, and his own son could succeed as the Hokage in the future, he wouldn't have to destroy the Uchiha clan.
But!
Now, the Uchiha clan was determined to launch a rebellion.
Especially that guy Uchiha Yuta!
He has no respect for him the Hokage in his heart.
He is a cancer of the village that must be eliminated.
"It's not your fault, Lord Hokage. You've done enough, but the people of Uchiha are not satisfied." Itachi said seriously.
Homura, who was on the side sighed inwardly at Sarutobi Hiruzen's brainwashing ability.
Then he said sternly, "Itachi, now that the Uchiha clan is going to launch a rebellion, what are you going to do?"
Koharu also said, "If you sit back and watch, the village will suffer huge losses, and if other villages seize this chance, the village may not be able to withstand it."
After Danzo's death, only the two of them could assume the role of bad cops.
Itachi bitterly said, "I will participate in the suppression of the rebellion."
His father was the clan leader of the Uchiha clan.
If the rebellion had to be suppressed, no matter what, his father would not be able to escape.
"Not just suppressing the rebellion!"
Koharu's voice was sharp and stern.
"All Uchihas must be wiped out!"
"If some people are spared, they may awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan because of hatred. In the future, it will endanger the stability of the village."
Homura also said seriously, "That's right!"
"Not only ninjas, but other civilians, men, women and children, must be dealt with at once."
Itachi's chest rapidly rose and fell.
He had also thought about Koharu amd Homura's statement.
Even the Uchihas, who are not ninjas, have Uchiha blood.
If someone is left behind and later awakens the Sharingan or even the Mangekyō Sharingan, and then takes revenge on the village...
It seems that it might be better to get rid of all of them at once.
But doing so means he needs to kill his father, mother, and even Sasuke.
When Sarutobi Hiruzen saw this, he dissuaded with false affection.
And Homura and Koharu fully played the role of bad cops, insisting to exterminate all Uchihas.
"Lord Hokage, there is no need to say any more. I agree with the two elders."
Itachi pleaded, "I just hope that Sasuke can be spared. He doesn't know anything yet."
Homura was about to say no when they heard Itachi continue.
"As for the genocide, I will take care of it, and then I will become a rebel who killed his entire clan."
"I just want Sasuke to live."
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others felt a burst of joy in his hearts.
To them, the most difficult thing was not to exterminate the Uchiha clan, but to find an explanation for the village.
If Itachi was willing to take the charge of genocide, all the better.
After Sarutobi Hiruzen declined with a few words, he could only accept it "reluctantly".
Immediately, several people began to discuss the arrangement of the Uchiha extermination.
"When the time comes, I will send Anbu's first and second teams, as well as some elite ninjas from the Sarutobi clan to come and go to the Uchiha clan to assist you." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.
Now that the Roots were gone, there were only two teams of Anbu that he could mobilize.
These two teams were very reliable.
The other Anbu teams included ninjas of various ninja clans in Konoha.
The truth of the night of the genocide can't be known by this part of Anbu.
But in this way, these forces would still be a little less.
Sarutobi Hiruzen could only mobilize his own clan.
Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen was heartbroken.
He had worked hard to nurture the strength of his clan for so many years, so that in the future, if his son could become the Hokage, he would have enough forces.
However, this time, he didn't know how many people would be lost in the night of the genocide.
All because of those damn Uchiha!
Can't they just obey him the Hokage?
Koharu and Homura still felt a little uneasy.
Against the entire Uchiha clan, they did not know if these people were enough.
"There is a mysterious person who also intends to take action against the Uchiha clan, and he will deal with the elite of the police force."
"As for Yuta, I will use my Mangekyō pupil technique to deal with him."
"Afterwards, I will join the organization that the mysterious person belongs to and act as a spy for Konoha." Itachi said.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others looked at each other and frowned.
Mysterious man?
That guy is confident that he can take down the elite of the Uchiha police force?
This is not good news.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen suppressed his thoughts for a while.
This mysterious man is not from Konoha.
The most important thing now is to solve the hidden dangers in Konoha.
"Just follow the plan just now, thanks for your hard work, Itachi." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.
Around the Uchiha clan
Anbu's surveillance post
"Change shifts?"
Kakashi was a little puzzled.
The third team had always been in charge of monitoring the Uchiha clan.
Now Anbu's 1st team suddenly came over to change shifts?
However, when the other party took out the Third Hokage's warrant, Kakashi agreed and left with his subordinates.
After Kakashi left, Sarutobi Shinnosuke said, "It's time to act, Itachi."
"Remember, get rid of Yuta as quickly as possible, and don't let him have a chance to use the Eight Inner Gates."
Seeing Itachi take orders to leave, Sarutobi Shinnosuke couldn't help but smile.
After the destruction of the Uchiha clan, the greatest hidden danger that might threaten his father's Hokage position will be gone.
And after that, he can successfully inherit his father's position and become the Hokage of Konoha.
In the further future, the seat of Hokage could be passed on to his son, Konohamaru.
The power of Konoha will always be in the hands of the Sarutobi clan!
After Senju and Uchiha, their Sarutobi clan will become the first ninja clan in the ninja world.
