Chapter 86: Why Did The Third Hokage Betray The Village?
Five o'clock in the morning.
The members of the Village Hidden in the Cloud delegation walked out of the hotel they were staying in with a look of sullenness on their faces. They suspected that the Hyuga clan had set this time just to disgust them on purpose.
In the Uchiha Clan territory, most of the Konoha Military Police Force members also gathered and then left in a menacing manner under Shiratori's leadership.
Shisui Uchiha walked out of the room and frowned deeply at the scene in front of him.
His current situation in the clan is much better than before because the strong rise of Shiratori has greatly squeezed the living space of the neutral and conservative factions in the clan.
As the genius and powerful person in the clan who is most at odds with the radicals, he naturally becomes the hope to fight against Shiratori.
Even though he was too close to the village leaders on a daily basis, those clansmen who opposed Shiratori just accepted it. Even the clan head, Fugaku, often invited him to his home and asked him to have more contact with Itachi.
But Itachi didn't seem to be interested in him…
The crowd walked away.
Shisui looked at the backs of those radical clansmen and decided to follow them to watch.
… … …
In the square in front of the Hokage building, the Hyuga clan members, led by clan head Hiashi Hyuga, had been waiting for a long time. They looked at the Village Hidden in the Cloud delegation that had just arrived with uncontrollable anger on their faces.
The Village Hidden in the Cloud ninja didn't care about the Hyuga clan's anger at all. The new leader of the delegation team stepped forward and said to Hiashi: "Hyuga clan head, how are you going to explain to us the Village Hidden in the Cloud for the mistakes you made?"
Hiashi Hyuga had a blank expression on his face: "Your excellency seems to have made a mistake. It was clearly you, the Village Hidden in the Cloud, who intended to kidnap my daughter. If there is any explanation… It should be you, the Village Hidden in the Cloud, who should give an explanation to Konoha and the Hyuga clan!"
The delegation leader was slightly surprised.
This… It's different from what they expected!
"Why… Do you Hyuga clan want to start a war between Village Hidden in the Cloud and Konoha?"
Not far away, the third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had just arrived, also had a rather ugly expression on his face.
In fact, he had not made up his mind to force the Hyuga clan to hand over anyone, but he did not want to see Hiashi's tough attitude towards Village Hidden in the Cloud.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps attracted everyone's attention.
The Uchiha ninjas from the Konoha Military Police Force appeared here and surrounded the Village Hidden in the Cloud delegation team from a distance.
Shiratori Uchiha walked through the crowd and stood in front of the delegation leader of Village Hidden in the Cloud, holding a string of meatballs in his hand.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I'm late. I was a little hungry on the way, so I took a detour to buy some food."
He shook the meatball in his hand.
The leader of the delegation team was full of question marks.
Who asked you?
And what are you doing here? Does this have anything to do with you?
As if he understood the other party's inner doubts, Shiratori clapped his hands. Toru behind him cleared his throat, took out an investigation report, and began to read it:
"The Village Hidden in the Cloud village delegation leader attempted to commit crimes against the Hyuga clan under the pretext of peace talks and kidnapped the daughter of the Hyuga clan head. After investigation, the evidence is conclusive!"
"So what?"
The leader of the delegation team looked at Shiratori with a mocking look and smiled playfully: "What can you do?"
Shiratori was also happy and said with some admiration:
"I have killed many enemies, and you should be the toughest one before death."
"What!"
Shiratori stretched out his hand and grabbed the other party's neck!
Sarutobi's expression changed drastically: "Stop! Stop him!"
These Uchiha… Are they all crazy?!
The Anbu ninja beside him rushed over immediately after hearing the order.
But Shiratori didn't seem to hear what the third Hokage said, and his fingers suddenly exerted force.
Click.
The opponent's neck was squeezed into a ball under his tremendous strength!
The corpse fell limply to the ground with its eyes open wide.
The Anbu ninja stopped, unsure whether to move forward.
The surroundings fell into an eerie silence.
"Third Hokage, I have a question." Shiratori turned around: "Since I also killed the bastards from Village Hidden in the Cloud, why don't you send me to Village Hidden in the Cloud as well? How about letting me keep his excellency Hiashi company?"
Hiruzen's expression was terribly gloomy: "Shiratori Uchiha… Are you going to betray Konoha by behaving like this?!"
"It's you who betrayed Konoha! Hiruzen Sarutobi!"
Shiratori's expression turned cold, and he even called out the third Hokage's name. "You grovel and beg for peace in front of other villages and trample on the dignity of the Konoha! Is this what my great-grandfather Tobirama Senju taught you?! Is this also his philosophy?!"
"Shut up! Anbu, listen to my orders, capture Shiratori Uchiha!"
The Anbu ninjas suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Shiratori again!
Shiratori was still not afraid. He looked coldly at the Anbu, who rushed forward.
Mangekyo Sharingan, activate!
Boom!!
A terrifying Chakra wave descended upon the place, and the golden skeleton enveloped Shiratori. Then, golden muscles and the Chakra Network entwined and spread around the skeleton, and the Chakra coat took shape in the blink of an eye.
A golden half-giant suddenly appeared in front of everyone!
"Roll."
The golden giant waved his arms and swept the frightened Anbu ninjas away!
Seeing the moment when Susanoo took shape, Hiruzen Sarutobi said in shock: "Madara Uchiha?! This is impossible!"
This ability… Is Madara Uchiha's ability! He had seen Madara Uchiha use it before!
He looked into Shiratori's eyes and murmured to himself: "Mangekyo Sharingan…"
Shisui, who was hiding not far away and peeping, also showed an incredible look: "Why did he… When?"
After repelling the Anbu ninjas, Shiratori turned to the ninjas from Uchiha and ordered: "Execute those bastards from Village Hidden in the Cloud on the spot!"
"Yes!"
These radical ninjas from Uchiha looked fanatical, and they were the first to come to their senses.
Isn't it just Susanoo? Why are you so surprised? We're not even that shocked when we have seen it before!
They rushed towards the Kumogakure ninjas without hesitation.
The Kumogakure ninjas didn't know what the golden giant that enveloped the Uchiha brat was; they only knew… Konoha was going to kill them!
"Go! Evacuate Konoha!"
But how could Shiratori let them go?
As he thought about it, three giant tomoe condensed from Chakra and connected by rings appeared in the palm of the Susanoo.
Yasaka Magatama!
Susanoo threw the three tomoe in the direction where the Kumogakure ninja was fleeing!
Wherever the tomoe passed, countless Kumogakure's ninjas were crushed into minced meat!
This attack… Actually killed most of the Kumogakure ninjas.
Seeing this scene, Hiashi gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind: "Hyuga clan members, cooperate with the Konoha Military Police Force to encircle and suppress the Kumogakure ninjas!"
He rushed out first and slapped a frightened Kumogakure ninja, making the other party's chest dent!
He knew that this palm strike of his meant that the Hyuga clan would be tied to the Uchiha's chariot from now on…
With the Hyuga clan joining the encirclement and suppression, the Kumogakure ninja was soon wiped out.
After using the Yasaka Magatama, Shiratori no longer attacked but just maintained Susanoo and confronted Hiruzen Sarutobi.
On a rooftop, the ninja clan heads, led by Shikaku Nara, have been standing here quietly.
When they saw Shiratori activate the Mangekyō Sharingan and use Susanoo, they were completely shocked.
"Shikaku?" Inoichi Yamanaka gave Shikaku Nara a look.
"Um."
Shikaku turned around and looked at the ninja clan heads:
"Everyone, Shiratori has already demonstrated his talent, and now… It's our turn to show our value."
