The Uchiha Clan's Sun

Hiruzen Sarutobi sneered, "Benefits? If you can deal with the Uchiha clan, do you need any extra benefits? Haven't you been targeting the Uchiha all along?"

"And don't think I don't know that you had a conflict with Uchiha Jin at the orphanage a few days ago, right?"

"Don't tell me that you, Shimura Danzo, now have the magnanimity to forgive and forget!"

Do you need a reason to take revenge on the Uchiha?

Danzo Shimura: "..."

Danzo Shimura is now speechless and unable to defend himself. It's all because he was too proactive in dealing with the Uchiha, and now no matter what happens to the Uchiha, he gets blamed for it!

Damn it, the Uchiha are truly born evil!

Chapter 102 Do you know we're keeping a ghost in our house?!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Just as Shimura Danzo was caught in a dilemma, a knock came at the door.

Danzo Shimura breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He had no idea how to defend himself against Hiruzen Sarutobi's questioning, but the knocking on the door came to his rescue.

"Enter!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi glared at Danzo Shimura, temporarily suppressing his anger.

With Hiruzen Sarutobi's permission, an ANBU ninja wearing a cloak and mask walked in.

"Lord Hokage, the investigation is complete!"

The ANBU ninja bowed respectfully to Hiruzen Sarutobi and placed a document on his desk.

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up the document with a blank expression and began to look through it. After a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi could no longer suppress the anger in his heart!

"Bang!" Hiruzen Sarutobi threw the document in his hand at Danzo Shimura, slammed his hand on the desk, and roared, "Do you know you're keeping a ghost in your house?!"

"You didn't even know you were raising a ghost? What kind of person is your root supervisor?!"

The news delivered by the ANBU ninja proved that Danzo Shimura was not responsible for what happened, but this only made Hiruzen Sarutobi even angrier!

What is the root?

That's the darkest of the dark, the place that holds all the darkness of Konoha!

If a demon appears in the root, it basically means that the Leaf Village has been stripped bare and exposed to others!

This is no longer a problem with Shimura Danzo's ideology, but rather a problem with his abilities!

Danzo Shimura frowned, ignoring the documents that had fallen to the ground, and instead looked directly at the ANBU ninja, asking, "Shin-no-suke, what exactly happened?"

Shinnosuke, whose full name is Sarutobi Shinnosuke, is the current head of the Anbu and also the son of Sarutobi Hiruzen!

Sarutobi Shinnosuke glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen first, and seeing that he did not stop him, he explained, "Elder Danzo, I was just ordered to investigate the source of the rumors in the village, and I found that all those who spread the rumors are from your Root sect!"

"Impossible!" Shimura Danzo interrupted halfway through the conversation, "I absolutely did not give them that order!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke calmly explained, "Although that person insisted that it was Elder Danzo who gave the order, according to my investigation, I found that he had contact with spies from Iwagakure last night."

"Therefore, it can be preliminarily determined that this matter was orchestrated by Iwagakure!"

"Iwagakure? Onoki? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Upon hearing this, Shimura Danzo was even more incredulous, exclaiming excitedly, "The person in charge of this mission is not only a Root ninja, but also my clansman, my nephew! He would never betray me!"

"Danzo, are you senile?!" Hiruzen Sarutobi glared and said, "What about clansmen? What about nephews and nieces? How many of Tobirama-sensei's Senju clansmen did he kill in order to recreate the First Hokage's power? How many of them were his nephews and nieces?"

"Besides, you've only been a member of the Root Clan for a short time, haven't you?"

“I know your headquarters is indeed short-staffed lately, but you can’t relax your vetting procedures because of that!”

"Don't you understand the principle of 'better to have nothing than something bad'?"

Danzo Shimura remained silent, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent!

His contact with Uchiha Jin a few days ago made him suspect that there was a problem within Root, so after returning that day, he carried out a major purge of Root.

Although no concrete evidence was found, he still purged many suspected individuals within the organization!

That's why the already understaffed roots are even more understaffed!

Left with no other choice, Shimura Danzo had to select some capable members of the Shimura clan to fill the Root branch.

But he never expected that this would give spies from other villages an opportunity!

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe, lit it, took a deep drag, and said, "Our negotiations with Iwagakure are imminent. Onoki seizing this opportunity to pull this stunt is clearly an attempt to disrupt our village's internal affairs, thereby gaining the upper hand and securing more benefits!"

"We must quell this before we begin negotiations with Iwagakure!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also very upset at this moment.

Everything was going according to his plan, but unexpectedly, the Hidden Stone Village suddenly appeared and caused trouble!

"Suppress it? Heh!" Shimura Danzo sneered, "In my opinion, this is actually an opportunity! Why not take advantage of the situation and eliminate this threat from the Uchiha clan!"

"Once we've dealt with the Uchiha, we can focus more on other things!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze sharpened upon hearing this, and he said in a deep voice, "Danzo, don't be so presumptuous! The strength of the Uchiha clan is unfathomable. Do you want to push the village into the abyss?"

You'd better cut off those unrealistic ideas of yours as soon as possible!

Danzo Shimura snorted and said coldly, "So what do you plan to do? Compromise with the Uchiha and then help increase their strength?"

"Hiruzen, hesitation only leads to trouble! You're too indecisive!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned grave, and he retorted sharply, "What compromise? The Uchiha haven't said anything yet, so what compromise are you talking about!"

"Haven't the Uchiha been compromising with us all these years?!"

"The Uchiha are indeed dangerous, but they are only a small fraction of them!"

"I'll have a good talk with Fugaku Uchiha later. I believe he won't let me down!"

Upon hearing this, Shimura Danzo's expression immediately darkened, and he asked, "What do you intend to do?"

After pondering for a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Let's forget about the compensation and rewards. Give back what's due to the Uchiha clan and let Fugaku Uchiha use it to appease the radical faction within the Uchiha clan."

"At the same time, quell the rumors within the village and spread the word that Iwagakure spies are instigating conflict between the village and the Uchiha clan! Put an end to the situation as soon as possible!"

"Let's give them some small concessions this time in our negotiations with Iwagakure!"

"What the village needs most right now is stability!"

This undercurrent made Hiruzen Sarutobi realize that this matter might very well develop to an irreversible point!

Therefore, he is willing to take a loss to quell this matter as soon as possible!

"First it was Sunagakure, then the Uchiha and Iwagakure," Shimura Danzo said with a face full of resentment and anger at his son's incompetence. "Hiruzen, if you continue like this, you'll ruin the entire village!"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi flew into a rage and roared, "Who do you think I'm doing this for? Isn't it to clean up the mess you made? If it weren't for the problems with your Root, would we be in this predicament?"

"No!" Shimura Danzo retorted without backing down, "They were able to seize this opportunity entirely because they saw your cowardice! If you could stand up for yourself, this wouldn't even be an opportunity!"

"Hiruzen, the root of all problems lies with you!"

"Enough!" Hiruzen Sarutobi roared inexplicably, "Danzo, I am the Hokage! I call the shots in Konoha!"

"How dare you..." Shimura Danzo gritted his teeth, but in the end he could only say forcefully, "Hiruzen, you will regret this!"

After saying that, Shimura Danzo turned and left, slamming the office door against the frame with a loud bang!

Chapter 103 Clad in the Core of the Sun!

Meanwhile, in a secluded training ground in a corner of Konoha Village, Uchiha Jin and Uchiha Shisui stood facing each other.

"Brother Jin, watch out, I'm about to attack! Phantom Instantaneous Movement!"

As Uchiha Shisui spoke, he formed hand seals and activated his three-tomoe Sharingan. Illusory clones identical to himself materialized from his body and quickly filled up half of the training ground.

Phantom Body Flicker Technique, the signature ninjutsu of Uchiha Shisui, allows his phantom to attack the target alongside his main body, and the phantom does not disappear after being attacked!

Half true, half false, half real, real and fake, even Uchiha Jin would find it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood!

It was with this technique that Uchiha Shisui earned the title of "Shisui of the Body Flicker" on the front lines of Kirigakure!

However, since Uchiha Jin couldn't distinguish between the real and the fake, he simply didn't bother and just included them all in his attack range!

"Fire Release·Song Ming!"

Uchiha Jin swiftly drew his Zankatana, and a massive tornado-shaped wall of flame instantly formed, sweeping towards the dozens of Uchiha Shisui in the arena!

"This kind of large-scale ninjutsu... Brother Jin, you're totally my type!"

Uchiha Shisui appeared behind Uchiha Jin with a bitter smile and slashed at the back of Uchiha Jin's head with his sword!

With a crisp clang, the blazing fire katana in Uchiha Jin's hand reversed and blocked the blade in Uchiha Shisui's hand. The flames on the fire katana spread outwards with the shockwave and sealed off Uchiha Shisui!

Uchiha Shisui's gaze narrowed slightly as he retreated, rapidly forming hand seals!

"Thunder Escape·Thunder Arrow!"

Lightning flashed in Uchiha Shisui's hand as he unleashed a bolt of lightning like an arrow towards Uchiha Jin!

Uchiha Jin turned around and casually swung his sword, the Zankaku, unleashing a massive fiery slash that shattered the Swift Lightning Arrow while continuing to strike Uchiha Shisui!

Uchiha Shisui's smile grew increasingly bitter. He dodged the fiery slash with a somersault in mid-air while quickly creating distance between himself and Uchiha Jin.

Although Uchiha Shisui possessed lightning-style chakra, he wasn't actually very skilled in lightning release. His strengths lay in body sleight of hand, fire release, genjutsu, and swordsmanship!

But not only is Uchiha Jin's Body Flicker Speed ​​even faster than his, Uchiha Jin's wide-range attacks are also a great counter to his Phantom Body Flicker Technique!

In this situation, he has already lost his greatest advantage!

As for Uchiha Shisui's Fire Release, it goes without saying that it is no match for Uchiha Jin. Not only can it not interfere with Uchiha Jin at all, but it is also very likely that Uchiha Jin will turn the tables on it.

As for illusion techniques and swordsmanship... he dared to say that he might have a slight edge in illusion techniques, but it would hardly be the key to victory against Uchiha Jin, who also possessed the Sharingan.

As for swordsmanship... let's not even mention it.

Given the prior agreement that he couldn't use the Mangekyou Sharingan, this sparring match was entirely one-sided torture for him!

"Watch out for Shisui. I'm going to test the limits of this sword! Blazing Hell!"

After giving a reminder, Uchiha Jin bent down and plunged the Broken Flame Katana in his hand into the ground.

Uchiha Shisui's expression was solemn. He could feel the temperature of the surrounding space rising rapidly, and even the air was filled with mist, as if space itself was becoming distorted!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."

A dozen or so scorching pillars of fire, each as thick as three people could hug, burst through the ground and shot into the sky, darkening the surrounding world!

Uchiha Shisui's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to take action, the dozen or so pillars of fire moved and quickly surrounded him from all directions, blocking all his escape routes!

"boom!!!"

A moment later, the dozen or so pillars of fire merged into one, forming a huge pillar of fire with a diameter of several meters that shot into the sky, just like a volcanic eruption!

Uchiha Jin drew his sword and rose up, but the huge pillar of fire did not disappear. It continued to burn fiercely, making the air within a radius of several kilometers much drier and the temperature soared dramatically!

"Not bad, it's far from reaching its limit. If it were to unleash its full power, it would probably be no less powerful than old man Yamamoto's Blazing Hell!"

Although he said he wanted to test the limits of the Zankatana, Uchiha Jin never really went all out, otherwise the entire Hidden Leaf Village might have been destroyed!

"Wow, Brother Jin, are you trying to kill me?!"

Just then, Uchiha Shisui appeared in front of Uchiha Jin, looking utterly shocked.

At this moment, Uchiha Shisui's once flowing hair became dry, his clothes were wet and then dried, and he looked like he had lost a lot of weight, looking extremely disheveled!

"Alright, step back a bit. Before those secret agents arrive, I have one more trick I want to try!"

Uchiha Jin ignored Uchiha Shisui's complaints, holding the Zanka Katana horizontally in front of him with one hand, while grabbing the burning blade of the Zanka Katana with the other!

"Broken Blade - Eastern Rising Sun Blade!"

Uchiha Jin gently stroked the blade of the Zanka Katana with his palm. Wherever his palm touched, the flames on the Zanka Katana disappeared into the blade, revealing its charred, charred surface!

'Gudong! '

Uchiha Shisui subconsciously swallowed, then withdrew more than ten steps.

For some reason, Uchiha Shisui sensed the danger of death on the charred, burnt-out blade of the Zankatana!

Will die! He will definitely die!

If he had been touched by that knife, even just a light touch, he would have been torn to pieces!
