Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 217 Who dares to mess with Uchiha's psychopath

When Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En were led to the reception room by attendants, the renovation of the palace was still going on.

Busy figures of craftsmen moved among the ruins, and the air was filled with the smell of new paint and burnt wood.

"Sit down." Daimyo pointed to the only intact desk in front of him. The screen behind him still had three parallel cracks.

Utatane Koharu noticed that the daimyo's tea set had been changed to ordinary celadon instead of the gold lacquerware used by the emperor in the past.

Just as Mitomon En was about to speak, there was a sudden vibration in the distance.

Daimyo's hand trembled slightly, and the tea splashed onto the table.

He wiped it with his sleeve as if nothing had happened, but Utane Koharu saw the unopened tranquilizer packet in his sleeve.

"Regarding the announcement," the Daimyo put down his teacup, "let's do as Uchiha Yu suggested."

Mitomon En tightened his fingers on his knees: "But this will affect Konoha's prestige."

"Prestige?" The daimyo chuckled. "When the Nine-Tailed Fox danced on the roof of the palace five days ago, prestige was shattered to the ground along with the tiles."

The daimyo understands Uchiha Yu's current level better than anyone else.

The scene of the demon fox Nine-Tailed Fox riding on four tails spinning and firing cannons at the barrier was something the daimyo could dream about within ten minutes of closing his eyes.

If you don't agree to his request, you don't know what you'll ride next time.

Even if Uchiha Yu didn't save the Daimyo's life, just based on his level of strength, the Daimyo would have to consider his proposal.

What's more, this kid is a Uchiha psychopath
What can we do? Just go along with it!

What does the reputation of Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen have to do with my name?
"boom--"

Suddenly, there was a vibration in the courtyard as if something heavy had fallen.

Through the torn paper door, you can see Uchiha Yu with red chakra wrapped around his body, doing a strange posture, as if he was practicing some ninjutsu.

"The announcement will be issued tomorrow." The daimyo pushed the document in front of the two men, "This is an order, not a negotiation."

When Koharu Utane picked up the pen, her hands were shaking a little.

After signing, the two stood up and said goodbye.

"Let's go." Mitomon Yan whispered, "This is no longer a place we can control."

Utane Koharu took one last look at the ruined palace and sighed.

The descriptions of Yamato and Mitarashi Anko are pretty accurate.

The two senior Konoha advisors came to a conclusion.

Uchiha Yu——Kage-level strength, complex abilities, can defend and attack, no one can stop him if he wants to run.

Because he can fly.
The most fatal point is that this guy is an Uchiha
If he goes insane and one day rides a tailed beast and fires at Konoha's barrier, who can we expect to perform the Shiki Fuujin?

On the morning of the day the announcement was made, the square of the Fire Nation's capital was packed with people.

When the document was posted on the bulletin board, exclamations broke out from the crowd.

"Brainwashed ninja volunteering for human experimentation?"

"Killing the donkey after it has done its job and killing the entire tribe, young and old, men and women?"

“And these, these”

"Konoha is too dark!"

The whispers soon turned into heated arguments. Some people tore at their clothes angrily, some knelt down and cried, and many more were at a loss.

This announcement not only revealed part of the "truth", but also shattered their trust in Konoha over the years.

In the cave outside the Hidden Rain Village, Uchiha Itachi was wiping a kunai, and his hands, which were so white that they didn't look like human hands, suddenly stopped.

Biwa Juzo walked in holding a notice with a playful smile on his face, "Interesting news, Itachi."

Itachi took the notice, his eyes wandering between the words.

When he saw his father's name, his fingers tightened slightly, and tiny wrinkles appeared on the edges of the paper.

All those memories that he had buried deep in his heart suddenly came flooding back: his father patting his shoulder for the last time, his mother straightening his collar, the expectant eyes of his tribe members.
"Do you want to go back to Konoha?" Biwa Juuzou grinned, "Maybe you can meet your brother."

Itachi didn't answer, but turned and walked towards the cave entrance, the rain soaking his clothes.

Thunder roared in the distance, as if mocking his persistence.

He looked towards the direction of Konoha in the rain, and said in a voice so soft that it was almost inaudible, "Where the leaves are flying, the fire will also be extinguished."

At the same time, Konoha Village fell into an eerie silence.

The moment the notice was posted under the Hokage Rock, a middle-aged ninja from the Sarutobi clan suddenly jumped up and punched the notice board: "What a joke! How could the Sandaime-sama..."

The crowd began to stir, some rushed towards the Hokage Building, some gathered at the old site of the Uchiha clan, and more people stood there in a daze, not knowing what to believe.

Asuma Sarutobi looked at the rioting crowd and sighed silently.

Although he was dissatisfied, he understood that as an ordinary jonin, he could not change such a notice.

The reactions of ordinary people are more complicated, and they are extremely easily influenced by the ideas issued from above.

"It turns out that we have been blaming the Uchiha wrongly. It turns out that many of our conflicts were caused by that guy Danzo, and he wanted to obtain the Sharingan and complete his own research plan? What a jerk!"

"The Uchiha wanted to rebel, but what did those kids do wrong? Was it necessary to kill them all?"

"The Konoha high-ranking officials are so scary."

“Who can I trust in the future?”

People were talking about this matter in teahouses, taverns, and markets.

Some are angry, some are sad, and more feel deeply fearful and uneasy.

The impact of this incident even overshadowed Tsunade's appointment, resulting in many people in the ninja world not knowing that Konoha's new Hokage was the rumored Three Ninjas.

Tsunade stood in front of the window of the Hokage's office, looking at the commotion of the crowd below, raised the bottle of wine and took a gulp, and said with a wry smile: "What a mess you left for me, but Jiraiya hasn't come back yet."

Jingyin stood aside holding Tuntun, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Tsunade put down the bottle, her eyes became firm, "Let's prepare for the Jonin meeting."

Kakashi stood on the roof, looking at the chaotic scene below, touched the Sharingan under the forehead protector, and sighed softly: "Obito, if you are still alive..."

Obito stood in the Kamui space, and the notice in his hand slowly fell.

He touched the mask on his face and suddenly let out a deep laugh. "Lin, did you see that? This is the hypocritical Konoha!" The laughter echoed in the empty space and gradually turned into sobs.

Jiraiya stood on the top of Mt. Myoboku, looking towards Konoha in the distance, and sighed: "Old man, you really made a mistake this time."

Fukasaku Sennin jumped onto his shoulders and said, "Jiraiya-chan, do you want to go back?"

Jiraiya stroked his chin and said, "Wait a little longer."

In the Hyuga clan's territory, Hyuga Hiashi raised his hand to stop his fellow tribesmen from speaking.

He looked in the direction of the Uchiha clan territory, with a complicated look in his eyes: "Prepare to hold a clan meeting."

"Yes."

In a quiet corner of Sound Village, the fifty-five Uchiha clan members who were rescued by Uchiha Yu are living a relatively stable life but are often shrouded in past pains.

They rebuilt their home here and tried to forget the suffering they had endured in Konoha.

A young Uchiha hurried back to the village, tightly clutching a notice from outside, his face full of shock and anger.

"Everyone come and see!" His shout broke the tranquility of the village, and the tribesmen gathered around.

When their eyes fell on the shocking words on the notice, the whole village seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze in an instant.

Some people in the crowd whimpered in pain, while others clenched their fists, their joints turning white from the force, and their eyes were burning with flames of hatred.

The pain and humiliation of the past came back like a tide.

An old man burst into tears of joy after reading the announcement: "Everyone now knows what Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo did behind the scenes! That's great! That's great!"

Uchiha Izumi, who was once Itachi's lover, grabbed the notice and ran towards the lake desperately.

The scene of the brutal massacre of her people that night kept appearing in her mind. Every fallen figure and every scream of pain were like sharp blades, stabbing her heart.

She ran to the lake and without hesitation, she plunged into the cold water. The water instantly submerged her, and she tried to use the biting cold and suffocating feeling to make herself forget those terrible memories, the grief and hatred in her heart.

And in that mysterious experimental base, Orochimaru was leisurely fiddling with various experimental instruments, his figure looked particularly strange under the dim light.

When his subordinates presented the notice in front of him, his slender eyes narrowed slightly, a long-lost smile appeared on his face, and his snake tongue danced gently at the corner of his mouth.

"Interesting, really interesting."

At this time, a short-haired researcher wearing glasses walked in.

"Lord Orochimaru, if the Red Sand Scorpion wants me to reveal the location of their base, should I just disconnect this line?"

Orochimaru looked at Kabuto, who had just been recruited by him, and said, "It's OK. The base in the Kingdom of Wind can be abandoned. We can just abandon it. But before that, we need to put on a show."

Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses: "Understood."

"That's right." Orochimaru suddenly called to Kabuto, "Lock on Itachi's movements."

"Yes!"

The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the layers of maple leaves, casting mottled light and shadows on the forest path.

Uchiha Yu and Sasuke walked side by side, and the fallen leaves under their feet made a crunching sound.

"Strength is not meant simply for revenge, Sasuke."

Uchiha Yu raised his hand to catch a falling maple leaf, and the leaf trembled gently in his palm, "Just like this leaf, it looks fragile, but it can bear the weight of the entire autumn."

These were the words that Di Lu said to Uchiha Yu, and now he repeated them to Sasuke verbatim.

Although he himself didn't understand what it meant.

Sasuke frowned, a hint of impatience flashed in his black eyes: "But without power, we can't even reveal the truth about those who died"

"If you study history, you will understand that history is actually the most fake thing. All the truth may not be what you know."

Before Uchiha Yu could finish his words, he suddenly turned around and quickly formed seals with his hands in front of his chest.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

A blazing fireball roared out from the forest, and the scorching air waves instantly scorched the surrounding maple leaves!

A young ninja wearing a Konoha forehead protector jumped out from behind a tree. Under his forehead protector were a pair of bloodshot eyes and the kunai in his hand was shining coldly.

"Go to hell! Evil Uchiha!" The young ninja's voice was hoarse and hysterical.

Uchiha Yu placed his right palm downwards and made the Buddhist one-handed standing gesture with one hand, while golden chakra flowed around his body.

A half-human-height golden statue of Guanyin appeared behind him. Guanyin’s face was compassionate, yet it carried an inviolable majesty.

The Guanyin statue swung its fist lightly, and a golden fist shadow cut through the air, sending the young ninja flying several meters and crashing heavily into the tree trunk.

The bark cracked and the leaves fell.

Uchiha Yu walked forward slowly, each step carrying a suffocating sense of oppression, "You want to die even though you know you can't win?"

The young ninja struggled to get up, and the blood from the corner of his mouth stained his clothes red.

His forehead protector was crooked, revealing the hideous blue veins on his forehead: "You... controlled the Daimyo... The Sandaime-sama is the greatest Hokage! He will never..."

Sasuke's eyes flashed with murderous intent, holding a kunai, and roared in the forest: "You are looking for death!"

"Wait." Uchiha Yu raised his hand to stop Sasuke, his eyes deep, "Look at his eyes."

The young ninja stumbled to his feet, staring at the two men despite being trembling all over.

His eyes burned with crazy determination, as if he wanted to burn the enemy in front of him to ashes: "Kill me! For the sake of the village, I will die without regrets!"

"This is the horror of political brainwashing." Uchiha Yu sighed softly, with a hint of pity in his voice, "In his cognition, he is just, and for this 'justice', he is willing to sacrifice his life."

Sasuke clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white: "But..."

"Hatred will only breed new hatred." Uchiha Yu turned around, "Let him live and see the truth with his own eyes. This is the best counterattack against brainwashing."

The young ninja froze, the madness in his eyes slowly giving way to confusion.

The sky over Konoha Village was gloomy, and the heavy clouds made people feel inexplicably irritated.

In front of the Hokage Building, a group of people wearing ANBU uniforms, Sarutobi clan emblems, and Root marks stood quietly, exuding an aura that kept strangers away. When the villagers passed by, they unconsciously quickened their pace and hurried away.

Sarutobi Hayabusa stood at the front, his brows furrowed, as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart.

His loyalty to the previous Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo has long been ingrained in his bones.

These days, all the rumors about Konoha, especially the so-called "truth" revealed by Uchiha Yu, made him full of anger and resentment.

He kept telling himself in his heart that the Sandaime and Lord Danzo devoted their entire lives to Konoha, so how could they have done such shameful things?

This must be Uchiha Yu's conspiracy and a slander against our predecessors.

Thinking of this, Falcon gritted his teeth and clenched his fists unconsciously, with his joints turning white due to the force.

He took a deep breath, raised his hand and pushed open the door of the Hokage's office, thinking to himself: I must get an explanation from Lady Tsunade today and I must not let those rumors continue to spread.

The person behind him followed him into the house without saying a word.

"Lady Tsunade!" Hayabusa's voice broke the silence, and because of his excitement, it was slightly trembling. "Konoha is now in a mess because of Uchiha Yu. As the Hokage, do you just not care? Let him talk nonsense? He used force to threaten the Daimyo to say those nonsense! Don't you feel a little uncomfortable with the insults to your teacher?"

His eyes were fixed on Tsunade, full of expectation and questioning, expecting Tsunade to stand up and clarify everything.

Tsunade was processing documents. When she heard the voice, she put down her pen, raised her head and looked at everyone with a calm expression.

She knew in her heart that these people were loyal to the previous Hokage, but they were also swayed by their emotions and lost their rational judgment.

"The daimyo has already made the news public. I just took over. I was not involved in the previous events, so I am not aware of them."

As a former high-ranking member of Konoha, Tsunade knew a lot about Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo, and Uchiha.

If you really want to say who is right or wrong, Tsunade doesn't know.

But the news that has been announced may not be very objective. The ordinary members of the Uchiha clan are not guilty of the death penalty. The Uchiha clan is an evil race, and the massacre of all the Uchiha clan members is such a genocide that even Tsunade cannot bear to watch.

Besides, the name has already been revealed, do you really want to take it back?

So, she didn't plan to care anymore.

"Not clear?" The Root ninja Subaru couldn't help but take a step forward. His heart was filled with anger and confusion at this moment.

He was taught to respect the Sandaime and Danzo since he was a child. In his heart, the two predecessors are the guardians of Konoha.

Now when he heard those accusations, he just couldn't believe it and felt that someone had deliberately framed him.

His face was full of doubts, and his tone was filled with anger as he said, "That's just what Uchiha Itachi said! The Sandaime and Danzo-sama dedicated their entire lives to Konoha, how could they do those things? There must be something fishy behind the scenes, and the culprits are him and Uchiha Itachi! And that mysterious Uchiha Madara!!!"

Tsunade frowned and said patiently again: "I understand your loyalty to the previous Hokage, but impulse cannot solve the problem. The most important thing now is to restore peace to Konoha, not to argue about whose crime is this, which will only make the village more chaotic."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone went wild.

"Arguing? We are upholding justice!"

"We can't let Uchiha Yu discredit the Sandaime. He must pay the price!"

Everyone was talking at once, and the emotions were very excited.

Everyone held on to their own belief in the previous Hokage in their hearts, believing that they were defending justice and simply would not listen to Tsunade's words.

Hayabusa was arguing with Tsunade and no one could get a word in.

At this time, Subaru said quietly to the people next to him: "Don't worry about Tsunade, we will do it ourselves and get rid of Uchiha Yu and Sasuke. No one will mess up the situation anymore, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the wish of the previous Hokage."

When the others heard this, they hesitated at first, weighing the pros and cons in their minds.

On the one hand, they understand that acting on their own could have serious consequences.

On the other hand, their loyalty and anger towards the previous Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo drove them to take action.

But in the end, loyalty and anger prevailed, and they all nodded.

They said no more to Tsunade and walked out of the Hokage building.

A pitcher plant popped out of the ground, its head showing. It looked at the crowd going away and commented: "Someone is courting death."
