The eight Uchiha clan members went to the Hokage building and asked to see Sarutobi Hiruzen.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard that the Uchiha people were coming to him, he immediately realized that they could no longer bear it and had to agree to accept the constraints of the curse seal.

Sarutobi Hiruzen readily agreed and met with these Uchiha members.

Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen guessed, as soon as they met, these Uchiha people knelt on the ground, said that they had thought it through, and then began to admit their mistakes, hoping to accept the curse seal and reintegrate into Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally agreed. After all, there were less than 30 members of the Uchiha clan left. The more he could have, the better. What's more, the power of life and death over them was in his hands.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the eight people in front of him and suddenly frowned: "As I remember...aren't there supposed to be nine of you?"

"I'm really sorry, Hokage. We have tried to persuade Yoshihiko, but he is still stubborn and insists on staying in the clan territory without listening to our advice."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in a fake manner: "I see. I believe he will figure it out in the future."

Then Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said, "Welcome back to the big family of Konoha. A ninja will cast a curse seal on you later. Don't worry. Only the two consultants and I know how to trigger the curse seal. We won't trigger it easily. It won't have any impact on your daily life, so don't worry.

After the seal is applied, someone will assign you a new residence, and you will also be able to enjoy the rights and benefits that others can enjoy. You are welcome to return to Konoha."

The eight Uchiha clan members put their heads on the ground and thanked, "Thank you, Hokage-sama."

After the eight Uchiha clan members left, an Anbu ninja came to the office and reported to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Hokage, the barrier has been triggered, and Uchiha Yoshihiko has disappeared. At the same time, some books about the history of the Uchiha clan in the Uchiha clan land have also disappeared."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and asked, "Have you found the person who triggered the barrier?"

The Anbu reported: "No, the situation this time is the same as the one before the Uchiha clan. The barrier was suddenly triggered. We immediately led people there, but we didn't find anyone. At the same time, Uchiha Yoshihiko was nowhere to be seen."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a serious look in his eyes: "Notify everyone to change all the barrier techniques of Konoha, and lead a team of sensory ninjas to track down Uchiha Yoshihiko!"

"Yes!"

The Anbu disappeared where he stood.

Sarutobi Hiruzen leaned back in his chair, thinking.

Only high-ranking personnel knew the technique of Konoha's barrier. After the matter of the Uchiha clan came to an end, Sarutobi Hiruzen started to investigate the matter, but found no clues.

Sarutobi Hiruzen originally suspected that Danzo did it, after all, Danzo was the most likely suspect in this kind of thing.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately went to find Danzo to verify.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen usually doesn't believe Danzo's words, Danzo's performance this time seems a bit genuine.

As a friend of Danzo for many years, Danzo would not lie, and Sarutobi Hiruzen could actually see that.

If Danzo had done this, if he asked, Danzo would try to explain away his involvement.

But if Danzo didn't do this, then if he asked Danzo, Danzo would most likely say something like "whatever you think".

And this is what Danzo told him when Sarutobi Hiruzen asked him about the barrier.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still willing to believe a little that Danzo did not leak the barrier technique to others.

Originally, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to change the barrier technique at that time, but because he promised Uchiha Itachi that the barrier technique surrounding the village would not be changed and he could sneak back to see Uchiha Sasuke at any time, Sarutobi Hiruzen put the matter aside for the time being.

But now this situation has happened again, and Uchiha Yoshihiko has disappeared, making Sarutobi Hiruzen unable to ignore this matter any longer.

Moreover, Sarutobi Hiruzen is now more inclined to believe that there is a sorcerer who has the ability to break the barrier ritual and has skipped the step of breaking the barrier through the barrier ritual and directly passed through the barrier.

However, whether the barrier formula has been leaked or there is a practitioner capable of breaking the barrier, the Konoha barrier formula must be changed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up his pipe and took a sip.

Judging from this incident, Uchiha Yoshihiko was most likely taken away by the person who passed through the barrier.

That person...could it be the member of Akatsuki organization mentioned by Uchiha Itachi?

The person who was most likely to have passed through the barrier was a member of the mysterious Akatsuki organization.

Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of smoke. The issue of the Uchiha clan, Konoha's biggest hidden danger, had been resolved. Chiba took the initiative to leave Konoha. Now there were no hidden dangers within Konoha, and they could now concentrate on facing the outside world.

...

In the Uchiha clan’s new residence.

Uchiha Sasuke was locked in the room alone, curled up in the corner, staring ahead with lifeless eyes.

He hasn't been to ninja school for many days.

Uchiha Sasuke still can't accept that Uchiha Itachi, who was once so gentle, would actually do such a thing.

Can you kill your parents just to prove your own ability?

How crazy must one be to do such a thing?

Was the gentle Uchiha Itachi of the past just a disguise?

Suddenly, Uchiha Sasuke's door opened, and Uchiha Izumi walked into the room with food.

Looking at the almost untouched food on the table, Uchiha Izumi frowned slightly.

Uchiha Izumi put the food on the table, walked to Uchiha Sasuke, squatted down, and said softly to Uchiha Sasuke: "Sasuke, you can't go on like this, eat a little."

Uchiha Sasuke ignored Uchiha Izumi and continued to stare blankly ahead.

Uchiha Izumi sighed, she could understand Uchiha Sasuke's feelings, after all, she was also one of those who had experienced it.

She was in despair for many days and felt like everything was falling apart.

But now she has recovered and hides the pain in her heart.

Seeing that Uchiha Sasuke has lost a lot of weight, Uchiha Izumi feels that if he continues like this, Sasuke's body will collapse.

Uchiha Izumi also advised him many times, but Uchiha Sasuke didn't listen.

Uchiha Izumi tried to persuade him again: "Sasuke, the clan has undergone drastic changes. It is useless for you to complain about yourself. You will not solve any problems if you continue like this. Instead, you will make your body collapse.

It’s normal to grieve, and we all grieve, but we all have things we need to do, and we can’t let grief stop us from moving forward.”

After persuading, Uchiha Izumi left Uchiha Sasuke's room. Excessive persuasion would be counterproductive. Some things required Uchiha Sasuke to figure out on his own.
