However, tonight is destined to be an unquiet night. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At ten o'clock in the evening, while the people in the Hokage building were waiting for the last few news to be verified, they exchanged ideas enthusiastically.

A dark figure hurriedly came to the side of the three generations of Hokage.

"Hokage-sama ~~~~~"

"What, the news is confirmed."

The people in the entire hall who were originally lively were immediately attracted by the loud exclamations of the three generations of Hokage.

Seeing the frightened expressions of the three generations of Hokage and the exclamation just now, an ominous feeling came to everyone's hearts.

"Three generations of Hokage-sama! Is something wrong? Hinata Hinata took the lead and asked, frowning slightly.

Hearing this, the three generations of Hokage seemed to have just come back to their senses, and they looked at the dark part in front of them in a daze, and after waving their hands to signal them to go down, the three generations of Hokage turned around, and the expression on his face was unprecedentedly serious.

"I just got the news from the dark department that something happened to the Uchiha clan, and it is very likely that the entire clan has died."

"What~~~"

"The Uchiha clan is gone."

Everyone present was originally smeared with a shadow in their hearts because of the performance of the three generations of Hokage, but in any case, they didn't expect it to be such a bombshell.

What is the Uchiha clan! That is the number one ninja clan in Konoha deservedly, and it is one of the founders of Konoha Village, whether it is the old Ninja Village period or the current era, the Uchiha clan has this extraordinary status and influence in Konoha Village.

Even though they are arrogant and difficult to get along with most of the time, it does not prevent everyone in Konoha Village from treating them as extremely important people.

Similarly, if you talk about the Konoha family, the Uchiha clan and the former Thousand Hands clan can be regarded as the main veins of the big family of Konoha Village, and both parties are the status of sons-in-law, but when the Thousand Hands Pillar and Uchiha Madara competed for the position of the head of the family, Uchiha Madara failed, so it led to the separation of the Uchiha clan from the main line.

Therefore, in the big family of Konoha Village, the Senju clan is a well-deserved family lineage, but the Uchiha clan is an absolute close branch, and the other families are far away from the distant land that has only recently returned after I don't know how many generations.

Therefore, when the thousand hands fell, the Uchiha clan naturally had no good face for these distant places that came to the door to pull relations, especially when the head of the third generation of the family turned out to be not from the Uchiha, they were even more dissatisfied with their arrogance.

For the other clans, the Uchiha clan is also in awe and peep at its status, and at the same time rely on most of its power, to say a special feeling of love and fear.

Therefore, everyone present longed for the emergence of a declining Uchiha clan, but they did not want the Uchiha clan to be destroyed.

Because even the Hyuga clan, who has been peeping at the glorious status of Konoha the number one ninja clan, knows how much the strength of the former Konoha has lost after losing the Thousand Hands clan, and if the Uchiha clan loses again, it will be a major blow to the current Konoha Ninja Village base that can almost be compared to the defeat of a ninja war in the old era.

Especially in these dangerous times, anything that greatly damages one's own strength is an unacceptable situation for everyone present.

"What the hell is going on? Hokage, why did the Uchiha clan be wiped out, is it a new variety of demonic creatures? ”

At Kakashi's suggestion, as the representative of the largest martial arts group, Mike Kay stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

His loud words not only interrupted the thoughts and doubts of the others, but also reminded everyone that when the situation in front of them was unclear, it was not suitable to move in any case, in case it was the power of demonized creatures, then the people who were in chaos would only lose more.

"Yes, this matter must be thoroughly investigated anyway, but you here must not mess around." The old patriarch of Nara said loudly.

"Well, the two Hokage advisors have already gone to investigate, and at the same time, they have also notified the Lord of the Temple Shaman, and when the Lord Shaman comes, let's go over and have a look together!"

"The old man also wants to know what it is that actually killed the Uchiha under our noses."

"It just happened to be our evening."

Thinking of the large amount of manpower scattered by the dark department because they had to verify the information of the applicants from each household tonight, the face of the three generations of Hokage was a pang of self-annoyance.

"It's all my fault, because the information of the applicants has to be summarized to the Chisha Empire, and the time is urgent, so the old man doesn't dare to be the slightest slack in this, so more than ninety percent of the dark parts in the village are involved in the verification of tonight's information, which makes the manpower of the dark department greatly reduced, which makes the Uchiha's matter only discovered now."

"If I hadn't transferred so many shadows, I might have been able to save some of the Uchiha people."

Looking at the three generations of Hokage who were caught in self-blame, the old patriarch of Nara said comfortingly: "Where can this kind of thing be expected. ”

"It's understandable to send the dark department to deal with tonight's affairs first, if there is no help from a large number of dark departments, I am afraid it will be impossible for us to deal with the information verification and assessment arrangements so quickly tonight."

"And this is a matter that the empire has given over, so it should naturally be given top priority."

While comforting the three generations of Hokage, the words of the old patriarch of Nara also reminded some other people that before the results came out, some thoughts in their hearts were still buried in their hearts, whether it was the hands of the three generations of Hokage or not, they had to look at it first at this time.

"However, if Hokage-sama really did it, don't blame us, these ninja clans and villages will definitely be separated by then." The old patriarch of Nara looked at the three generations of Hokage who were still blaming himself, and Shimura Danzo in the corner on the side, and thought heavily in his heart.

At this moment, the Nara family, which had always advocated a positive approach to the Hokage, spoke for the Hokage and clearly expressed its willingness to separate from the Hokage for their own interests.

Sometimes, after all, neutrality itself is a sign of distancing, especially in the heat of contrast. At the same time, after the words of the old patriarch of Nara fell, the patriarchs of the two clans of the alliance behind him, Akido and Yamanaka, only glanced at each other and continued to stand by the side of the old friend.

"It's the best opportunity to make a stand from a young age." Feeling the gaze of others and the support of the two old friends behind him, the old patriarch of Nara thought with a lot of self-reproach in his heart.

In his heart, he was moved by the support of his old friends, but at the same time he felt guilty and planned for his mistakes.

It turns out that in the past six years of the new era, everyone has perceived that the new era is an era full of future for both the ninja and the civilian ninjas, and it may perish or become stronger, but it must be a declining era for the former ninja village leaders.

On the other hand, the family that was originally close to the Hokage's upper echelons naturally suffered a great negative impact because of this, not only could the investment not be recovered, but the most important thing was that it was always squeezed out by other ninja clans.

After all, the family that once chose to take refuge in the Hokage family itself chose to betray the ninja class.

As a rare wise man in Konoha Village, the old patriarch of Nara has naturally already seen this change in the general trend, but before that, the Pig Deer Butterfly clan had already determined the policy of getting closer to the Hokage family in the old era.

And at the beginning, in order to get close to the Hokage Ichi lineage who grasped the power of the general trend as soon as possible, the three clans were close in all directions when they catered to the Hokage Ichi line, so that now, even in the new era, the three clans have had a deep integration contact with the Hokage Ichi line at the top of Konoha level.

Especially the connection between the middle and lower classes has reached the point where it is not something that can be broken if the three clans want to.

Now, this former guarantee has become a major obstacle for the three clans to regain their position in the ninja ranks, and if they can't be completely cleared up one day, even if the three clans want to return to the embrace of the ninja class, no one has a reason to believe them.

For this reason, the old patriarch of Nara, who had set this policy in the first place, racked his brains, but he did not have anything to do because he was afraid that neither side would please him.

Therefore, when the news of the accident of the Uchiha clan came, the old patriarch of Nara, who had been looking for an opportunity, was shocked and realized that this was a rare opportunity.

You must know that although the three generations of Hokage seem to have accepted the change of reality in the past six years, and even actively cater to the changes of the times, the problem between the Uchiha and the village has become more acute.

The reason for this is that while the power of the Hokage family is weakening in all aspects, the strength of the Uchiha clan, which is the largest ninja clan in Konoha Village, is rapidly getting out of the shadow of defeat and gradually becoming stronger.

The Uchiha, which has become stronger at a high speed, is simply a beacon of development for many of the families present.

Therefore, no one here wants the Uchiha's affairs to be the hands of the three generations of Hokage, which means that the Konoha high-level represented by the three generations of Hokage may not be able to tolerate the possibility that the ninja clan below will become stronger and surpass the power of the Hokage.

At this time, the suspicion of the three generations of Hokage is the greatest, at least the possibility of interfering in it is almost 100%.

Therefore, to make a stand at this time, even the three generations of Hokage are not good at disgusting with the choice of the three clans because of this.

After all, the three clans chose to join the Hokage family for the sake of prosperity, but now that the three generations of Hokage are suspected of suppressing the ninja clan's strength, it is understandable that the three clans want to part ways with him.

However, what I see from the eyes of other families is that the three clans still stand on the family class in their fundamental position, so if the three clans get closer in the future, then the other families will not refuse for no reason.

"After all, times are different now." With the words of Kai and the old patriarch of Nara, everyone reluctantly suppressed the horror in their hearts and waited silently,

In this silent repressed waiting, an invisible crack appeared between the upper echelons of the ninja village and the ninja class.

Looking at the people in front of him who were gradually stabilizing but faintly revealing restless emotions, although the three generations of Hokage felt a little unacceptable to the words of the old patriarch of Nara, he could only hold on for the time being, because he knew that the calm in front of him was only a temporary situation, and if the results of the investigation after that could satisfy everyone, then things could be turned around.

Otherwise, even the ninjas in Konoha Village who had defected to the Hokage clan would unite with other ninja forces and form an estrangement that would be difficult to dissolve with the upper echelons of the Hokage clan.

After all, in the past few years, the life of several small clans who have taken refuge in the Hokage family has not been very easy.

"Fortunately, there is the help of the temple priest, otherwise this matter will be really difficult to deal with!" The three generations of Hokage thought comfortingly: "Itachi, the old man can only help you get here, I hope you don't let us down!" ”

~~~~~~~~~~

At the same time, in the center of Konoha Village, there is a magnificent building thirty or forty meters high standing in the village, and the tall building is the only temple in the entire Konoha Village that represents the Chisha Empire and enshrines the Red Sky God Emperor.

And in the hall of this temple, which is illuminated by bright headlights all night, a middle-aged man in a red robe is praying to the only tall statue of the god in the hall.

Suddenly, a soft "pop" echoed in the quiet lobby.

There was a strange sound in the lobby that had been completely closed, and as the only life in the lobby, it was natural to notice this movement that sounded very soft, but also clear.

"You're here." Hearing the soft sound behind him, feeling the familiar and deep chakra, the man in red who was praying said lightly.

Apparently it was waiting for someone to arrive.

"Yes, Lord Priest, I'm back." A deep, crisp voice replied.

Hearing this, the man who was made a sacrifice silently turned around to look at the young man in front of him, sighed and said, "Itachi! God will always watch over you, don't be too burdened, it's not your fault. ”

"Instead, you're saving their souls."

At this time, there was no longer the slightest coldness in the ferret's body, except for the thick bloody aura that could not be concealed, there was only a sense of embarrassment that penetrated the heart.

"I know that I can't tolerate my people going further and further down the wrong path and eventually perishing."

"I just wanted to keep my family, but I could only keep my brother." The embarrassed Uchiha Itachi knelt on the ground and couldn't suppress his emotions anymore as he spoke, and said in grief: "But I killed my parents with my own hands. ”

"I, I killed my lover."

"I killed my loved ones."

"I killed them with my own hands, I'm a damned man."

Looking at the embarrassed Uchiha Itachi in front of him, the red-clothed priest felt pity for the other party in his heart, and was also full of admiration for this teenage boy.

Only those who truly understand this young man can understand everything he carries, and can also understand the greatness of his courage and perseverance that he is willing to carry everything on himself.

After a long time, when the weasel finally finished venting, the red-clothed priest sighed and said, "Although I think you should have finished it, I still have to ask, have all the parts you are responsible for have been dealt with?" ”

"Yes, my lord, everyone except my brother has taken care of it." Uchiha Itachi, who had roughly calmed down his mood, said sadly.

"That's fine. The places that the other demon hunters are responsible for have been taken care of, plus the area you are responsible for, and now the Uchiha is really only left with you and your brother, so the three generations of Hokage can be regarded as being able to help you get through. ”
