Chapter Ninety-Eight: [The Outbreak of Formal Conflict]
After all, Konoha is a gathering place dominated by ninjas,
It doesn't take a long time to rebuild it like ordinary people.
It took a lot more effort to re-plan Konoha than to build.
Soon, when Konoha buildings were gradually piled up and everything seemed to return to its original state, the relocation plan for the Uchiha was also underway.
Horse-drawn trucks full of goods drove through the streets of Konoha,
One by one, the villagers raised their heads, either guilty, regretful, or happy, or smug to look at the family that had been staying in the center of Konoha since the establishment of the village, step by step through the inner and outer areas, and came to the forest at the edge of Konoha at the very edge.
The Uchiha family...... It's dazzling.
Although, many ninjas from this family are arrogant, they do have arrogant capital, and many people are envious and jealous.
From the moment of birth, this family has held the foundation of ninjas, whether it is an ordinary person or a ninja.
And now that this high-ranking and powerful family is going down, and there is a vote from some of them, many people in Konoha have different feelings.
Good or bad.
Schadenfreude, onlooker, uneasy...... Both.
In this regard, the people in the costumes embroidered with the Uchiha clan pattern were all full of anger and coldness.
They unreservedly expressed their dissatisfaction and anger on the outside.
They don't have the cold arrogance and superiority of the blood when facing other ninjas in the past, but like mortals who have fallen from the altar, they vent their inner emotions.
"What do you mean?"
And at this moment, in the long procession of carriages,
The Uchiha people next to one of the carriages suddenly disappeared into the eyes of many people on the street.
And when he reappeared, he was capturing a 'dark part' wearing an animal mask in his hand, and at the same time asked loudly, "What do you mean by coming out of the clan land, you little devil has been staring at my carriage?" ”
"Are you suspecting anything illegal in my luggage?"
"And ...... This is the job of the Konoha Garrison Department! Are you people in the shadows out of line? ”
As the 'shadow' ninja was captured and questioned, more 'shadow' ninjas emerged from the shadows and surrounded the carriage.
"What for?"
Not only the ninjas of the 'Shadows', but also the ninjas of the Uchiha stopped the carriage and gathered around this side.
In just a few breaths, dozens of 'shadow' ninjas were surrounded by dozens of Uchiha ninjas.
Not a crowded street, on both sides of the house on the roof, roadside...... They were all full of ninja figures, and the two sides were at a stalemate, both staring at each other indifferently.
And at this stage, on the street, whether it is the merchants in the shops, the consignors who came to submit the commission, and the residents of Konoha Village...... Everyone watched this scene with horror on their faces.
This is...... Is there going to be a war?
Uchiha and Konoha turned their faces directly?
Just because of a small vote, a relocation of the clan land?
Naturally, with the conflict between the two sides, many ideas emerged in their minds.
At the same time, the original regret, guilt, joy, and self-satisfaction on their faces were ...... All kinds of emotions are frozen.
If the Uchiha moved out of the central area of Konoha and was driven to the periphery of Konoha has nothing to do with them.
They can evaluate all this calmly from the perspective of an outsider, as if they were watching the excitement.
So now...... If the Uchiha and Konoha do have a conflict, then they will undoubtedly be the ones in the game!
Whether it is someone inside Konoha or someone outside Konoha, they are inevitably the victim in the case of a conflict between the two.
"Let him go."
The 'Shadows' ninja under the animal mask commanded coldly.
I didn't have much emotion about the stalemate in front of me, just like a machine without any emotion.
"Heh......"
Uchiha Aoto sneered, and the palm of his hand that was clenching the neck of this 'shadow' ninja was even harder, "Are the people from the root also qualified to order the people of our garrison department?" ”
Root?
In the hearts of many villagers present, they were puzzled by this title.
They don't know what kind of department it is.
Is there such a department in Konoha?
"Then am I not qualified!"
At this moment, a cold voice sounded from the shadow of a large tree.
Immediately afterward, an old man with half of his face wrapped in bandages and a gloomy face walked out of it, "Uchiha Aomon, are you trying to provoke a war?" ”
"Do you want the Uchiha to become a sinner in Konoha?"
"Let the people go right away!"
In a few words, he couldn't wait to pick out words such as sinners and war, and bluntly said that the Uchiha was going to rebel.
“…… Danzo-sama. ”
And Uchiha Aomon was stunned for the person who came, and then his face was also gloomy.
On his face, the grim inverted triangular eyes stared directly at the old man, "Let the Uchiha be a sinner?" I can't afford to wear such a big hat. ”
"Then let the people go."
Shimura reprimanded harshly.
"Release? Of course, no problem. ”
Uchiha Aoto sneered, "But I just wanted to ask why your roots followed our Uchiha team all the way. ”
"It's almost into the clan land, are you still going to follow?"
"Do you mean...... Konoha treacherously drove the Uchiha to the edge of Konoha and still intends to spy on us all the time? ”
Shimura Danzou replied in a cold voice, "For the safety of Konoha, we will control the unstable factors, which is necessary. ”
As he spoke, he slammed the cane in his hand on the ground, making a "Dongdong" knocking sound.
“…… Does Danzo-sama mean to define us Uchiha as unstable factors?
Uchiha Aoto laughed angrily and yelled, "What about the evidence! ”
His emotions were unusually excited, "When we Uchiha and Senju joined hands to build Konoha, you Shimura clan didn't know where it was!" ”
"As the family that built the village, will we still destroy our own home?"
"Is this what Konoha calls the Will of Fire? When a family has no use value, can it just find a reason to throw it away? ”
At the same time, with these words, the faces of many Uchiha people present turned iron-blue.
All along, they have always been proud of building Konoha, and now, this glory has been tarnished by the old man in front of them!
"Humph!"
Shimura Tuanzo snorted coldly, "Nine ......"
"Enough! Danzo. ”
At this moment, a serious voice sounded, and then an emaciated figure appeared on the roof of a house.
"Yes...... Is it three generations of adults? ”
"Great, three generations of adults are here."
"Three generations of adults!"
……
The emaciated figure that suddenly appeared was none other than the third generation of Hokage, Sarutobi Sun Slash.
With his appearance, the atmosphere was solidified, and the panicked villagers breathed a sigh of relief.
The fear, regret, and horror on their faces...... It's all slowly being suppressed.
It's like, as long as Sarutobi Hizashi is here, Uchiha and Konoha won't clash.
And it is, it is.
"Blue Gate! Let the people go! ”
Similarly, Uchiha Fugaku, who hurried to hear the news, also coldly scolded the Uchiha Aomon, who was surrounded by the crowd, and verbally signaled him to release him quickly.
Immediately afterward, he looked apologetically at Ape Fei Ri Chop, "Three generations of adults, I want to ...... It was a misunderstanding. ”
