It seemed someone wanted to completely erase the Uchiha Clan from Konoha's history.

If this continued, then perhaps after a few decades—or even centuries—people would genuinely forget that the Uchiha Clan was once the largest and most powerful clan in Konoha.

But not yet.

The more the higher-ups tried to suppress the truth, the more curiosity it stirred.

There had to be a secret buried behind this. Something so shocking it couldn't be allowed to surface.

Uchiha Haru looked at those gathered before him and asked calmly, "Do you really want to know the truth?"

"Even though what lies beneath may be something none of you are ready to believe."

All eyes locked onto him. They could sense it—this was no trivial matter. This was something that could shake the foundations of everything they thought they knew.

"…I want to know. Is it related to that person?"

Haru gave a slight nod. He didn't deny it.

Though he had once reached an agreement with the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Danzo Shimura, promising mutual silence, everyone involved had known that agreement was little more than a temporary ceasefire—a facade of civility.

Both sides had left each other a way out. But if the Uchiha were in danger, if the situation turned desperate, it was obvious that Hiruzen and Danzo would waste no time intervening.

Both were as cunning as they were ruthless. Calculating. Sinister in their actions and methods.

So, even if Haru broke their agreement now and let the truth slip, he wouldn't carry any guilt.

On the contrary, he would find a measure of satisfaction in ruining the game those two old bastards were playing.

Commitments meant nothing if neither side had ever meant them in the first place.

And clearly, they hadn't.

The crowded street wasn't the place for this conversation. Nor was any room in the village—with too many eyes, too many ears hiding in the shadows.

They left the village outskirts and headed to an isolated clearing just beyond the city limits.

It was an open space, seldom visited, with wide visibility. If anyone approached, they would know immediately.

"Alright," Tsunade said, staring at Haru. "You can speak now."

Haru's tone remained steady and calm. "The Uchiha left Konoha because Konoha initiated the Uchiha Clan Extermination Night—an orchestrated massacre meant to wipe out the entire Uchiha bloodline."

"What?!"

"That's impossible!"

Asuma Sarutobi blurted it out instinctively. His mind rejected the idea outright.

The Uchiha were one of the two founding clans of Konoha.

How could Konoha—his Konoha—attempt to destroy the Uchiha?

And with his father, the Third Hokage, at the helm? No. He couldn't accept it.

Kurenai Yuhi stood frozen in shock. Her mind was spinning.

But unlike Asuma, she didn't deny Haru's words.

Not because she wanted to believe them—but because she had already seen Konoha's darker side firsthand.

At that high-level council meeting, they had actually suggested sacrificing Haru, the man who had risked everything to save Hinata, for the sake of so-called peace. That kind of twisted logic had left a scar on her heart.

Her crimson eyes stared deeply at Haru now.

If what he said was true…

Then he, and the entire Uchiha Clan, had been bearing an unimaginable burden this entire time.

Haru didn't elaborate further.

Believe him or don't. It didn't matter.

All he wanted was to plant a seed in their minds.

To let them know that Konoha wasn't as pure as it pretended to be.

The glamour was only on the surface.

Beneath it was rot. Darkness. Lies.

Tsunade and Hatake Kakashi, after the initial shock, remained silent.

They knew too much.

They knew just how tense the relationship between the Uchiha and the village leadership had become.

It wasn't impossible.

But still—could he really have done such a thing?

The thought clawed at their minds, but they didn't want to believe it. Or maybe… they didn't dare to.

After a long silence, Kakashi finally spoke.

"If he was involved… then he would have ensured the plan was airtight. There's no way any Uchiha could have survived."

His voice was grim, his gaze sharp.

He had once served in the ANBU, directly under that man. He knew his methods well.

Cold. Precise. Efficient.

"The Uchiha Clan would have been utterly annihilated."

"But I survived," Haru said, unflinching. "And the Uchiha Clan still lives."

It was a simple statement. But in that moment, it was the most powerful truth in the world.

Kakashi narrowed his eyes. "How?"

In Konoha, under the control of that man, escaping—let alone saving an entire clan—was virtually impossible.

But Haru's answer wasn't words.

It was his eyes.

He looked directly at Kakashi—and his Sharingan flared crimson.

Three tomoe spun violently, then converged—morphing into a new shape entirely.

A blade-like design formed in the center.

Mangekyō Sharingan!

Kakashi's heart stopped. He already possessed a Sharingan. He knew what this meant.

But then he shook his head slowly.

"…Still not enough."

"The Mangekyō Sharingan can't transport an entire clan."

"What if you add this?"

In his palm, a seedling, nourished by chakra, grew rapidly—its transformation visible to the naked eye.

Within moments, it became a small tree.

Wood Release.

Kakashi's eyes widened in disbelief.

He couldn't believe what he was seeing—this legendary kekkei genkai, known to have belonged solely to the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, now appeared before him again.

The Mangekyō Sharingan allowed Uchiha Haru to move freely within Konoha, but taking his clan with him was another matter entirely.

However, with Wood Release added to the Mangekyō Sharingan, no obstacle was insurmountable.

Even alone, he now possessed the power to challenge all of Konoha.

Kakashi was speechless.

Why?

Why did Haru have this strength?

"To destroy the Uchiha… that was Itachi Uchiha's plan, not Konoha's!"

Asuma Sarutobi looked at Haru and repeated himself, voice shaking with disbelief, "That was Itachi's plan!"

His unease was palpable.

Kakashi had said so much.

Even an idiot could tell who he'd been talking about.

His father—the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Asuma had once been rebellious and disobedient.

But no matter how rocky their relationship, his father had always been a hero in his heart.

He would never allow anyone to tarnish that.

"Asuma, do you really think the Third Hokage could've been unaware of something this significant happening in Konoha?"

Haru didn't need to answer. Tsunade cut in sharply, her voice like a slap.

Asuma froze.

Yes.

If what Uchiha Haru said was true, then the Third must have known.

And Itachi… he was part of Anbu.

Anbu answered only to the Hokage.

The pieces had all fallen into place, leaving no room for denial.

Still, Asuma murmured under his breath, "No... no…"

"All of this is fake. It's impossible. This is absolutely impossible!"

Tsunade, Kakashi, and Kurenai Yuhi all understood what he was going through.

After all, the Third was Asuma's father.

They all went silent for a while.

What gnawed at each of them was the same question: Could the Third really be the man Haru described?

Their doubts, suspicions, and theories were all based on one thing—that Haru was telling the truth.

If he was lying, no matter how logical it seemed, none of it held weight.

"I've decided to go to the Hidden Mist Village."

While everyone was still wrestling with their thoughts, Tsunade gave her answer.

The Kaguya Clan's leader lit up with a subtle flash of satisfaction.

It was the response he had hoped for.

Uchiha Haru, on the other hand, remained calm, unsurprised. He had anticipated this outcome long ago.

Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai were the ones who struggled.

"Lady Tsunade," Kakashi said urgently, "we've only heard Uchiha Haru's version of events. We can't judge the truth from one side—"

Their mission had been to find Tsunade and bring her back to Konoha.

If word got out that they'd located her—only to let her leave with someone from the Hidden Mist and an Uchiha fugitive—how could they explain that to the Hokage and the elders?

"That's right, Lady Tsunade. I believe my father—Lord Hokage—would never do what Haru claimed."

Asuma's voice rang with conviction.

But his gaze toward Haru simmered with anger.

He refused to allow anyone to insult his father.

Only Kurenai remained silent, her head slightly bowed. No one could guess what was on her mind.

Despite their protests, Tsunade remained composed.

"I have my own reasons for going to the Hidden Mist Village," she said plainly.

"There's nothing more to discuss. This is my decision."

She had to uncover the truth behind Kato Dan and Nawaki's deaths—no matter what it took.

"But—"

"Lady Tsunade has already made her decision!"

The Kaguya Clan leader cut them off before Kakashi or Asuma could protest again.

Asuma turned to him, eyes blazing with fury, but held his tongue. In the end, he only sighed.

Kakashi stood frozen, helpless, as Haru led Tsunade away.

"You all… be careful."

Tsunade stopped suddenly after a few steps, glancing back at the three Konoha ninja behind her.

Be careful?

Kakashi's brow furrowed, but he quickly masked his reaction.

Asuma was less composed. "Lady Tsunade, are you… are you saying even you suspect the Hokage?"

Tsunade didn't answer directly.

"In any case," she said, "it's better to be cautious."

"What we discussed today must not be leaked."

"You all… take care of yourselves."

With those final words, several figures blurred and vanished using the Body Flicker Technique.

Asuma stood there, face dark with frustration.

He still couldn't understand why even Tsunade—one of the Legendary Sannin—would doubt his father.

"Kakashi, Kurenai… You don't believe what Uchiha Haru said, do you?"

But his question was met with silence.

Kurenai's face was unreadable, lost in thought.

It wasn't the Third Hokage's morality that plagued her most.

What weighed on her heart was something else entirely.

This reunion—after so many years—Haru hadn't said a single word to her.

Not even a glance.

Not even a goodbye.
