Konoha: We, the Uchiha, are ready to give up!

Before they could even catch their breath, someone pointed into the distance and spoke in a panic.

Subsequently.

Then everyone saw a group of ninjas wearing black robes and masks.

This is the Dark Division!

These ordinary people have no idea about roots.

In their minds, the only ninjas wearing masks are the Hokage's Anbu.

However, now...

Right before the eyes of these civilians, the members of the Dark Guard were fighting amongst themselves.

What's going on?

Everyone panicked a little, but in the blink of an eye, they came to their senses and quickly went home and closed the door.

Yes.

Battles between ninjas are not something that ordinary people like them have the right to interfere in.

So if you encounter it, just get away from it as soon as possible.

But deep down, they couldn't help but ponder.

Why did the secret service start fighting amongst themselves?

It's just a pity.

No one could answer their questions.

In the blink of an eye.

Konoha, which had just calmed down, has fallen into chaos again, with people dying everywhere!

But unlike the chaotic battle just now, this battle was seen by them as infighting within the Dark Guard itself.

About twenty minutes later.

boom!

With a huge explosion, the Anbu building not far from the Hokage Building was blown into the sky, and flames were burning everywhere. Even the windows of houses within a five-kilometer radius were shattered by the huge sound wave.

Subsequently.

A mushroom cloud rises into the sky!

……

In the morning, half past eight.

The rooftop of the Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi gripped the railing, looking at the devastated village, especially the Anbu, which had been completely reduced to ruins. His face turned a terrifyingly ashen, and his whole body trembled slightly with rage.

Yes.

He was completely dumbfounded!

Is this still the Konoha I know?

If it were an invasion from outside the region, that would be understandable, at least.

But what about now?

Why didn't he see a single external enemy?

Think of this.

He took a deep breath before speaking in a cold tone.

"Can anyone tell me what exactly happened in the village?"

"Who exactly is fighting whom? Has the specific situation been investigated and clarified?"

"What about the Anbu?"

"Yamano Inoichi, give me an explanation!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, his eyes blazing with fire.

Yes.

At this moment, he was truly furious.

To know.

Because of some of his past misdeeds, his reputation and public image had already suffered a significant decline.

In fact, one could say that...

Even if this incident hadn't been discovered, he would have had to abdicate and hand over power to a more capable person after the war ended in order to maintain his reputation.

But, well then.

With this incident happening today, it's truly adding insult to injury for him.

Even without any external invasion, the villagers themselves fought so fiercely.

How can I promote the Will of Fire now? How can I convince those ninja academy students?

and.

They couldn't even control the villagers themselves, and instead, they caused such a huge incident.

Thinking about all this mess, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Asshole!

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Yamanaka Inoichi stood not far away, watching the furious Hiruzen Sarutobi, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Yes.

Not to mention Hiruzen Sarutobi, even he himself was dumbfounded.

It was just ordinary clansmen joining the Uchiha clan, how could it have caused such a huge mess?

but.

Although I had a terrible headache, I still forced myself to speak.

"Um, Hokage-sama."

"I'm sorry, I don't know either."

"Furthermore, a major event occurred this morning during the Ino-Shika-Cho trio. Nara Kazama of the Nara clan, who is also Uchiha Jin's companion, secretly rallied a large group of clan members who were not valued within the clan or had conflicts with the higher-ups last night, and they defected to the Uchiha this morning..."

"The three races of pig, deer, and butterfly are now in complete chaos."

"So I'm still completely clueless about what happened in the village!"

Yamanaka Inoichi reluctantly opened his mouth.

Even after saying those words, he lowered his head with a look of guilt.

He performed very well!

Although he couldn't match the Nara clan in terms of strategy, he was still the head of a clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "..."

He was stunned.

What the hell did you say?

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio is in trouble too? And it involves the Uchiha clan?

Upon hearing these words, he nearly vomited blood again.

Good guy!

The Uchiha clan is already powerful enough, and now another group of Ino-Shika-Cho has joined them?

It's numb and tingling.

I don't even know how to comment on Hiruzen Sarutobi now.

But, I don't know why.

He still felt that something was wrong with what was happening. Could it be that Ino-Shika-Cho had developed feelings for him?

only.

He was a little unsure.

After all, in the ninja world, traitors don't live forever.

If discovered, they could easily be subjected to public criticism.

Nara, one of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, was a clever man. Could they not even have thought of something like this?

and.
