The sun was setting, and the night was getting darker.
At night, Konoha Village was particularly lively.
The ninjas and villagers who had finished their day of work either lingered in the bustling commercial street, or strolled by Konoha’s river in the evening wind, and a couple had a rendezvous in the small park…
People enjoyed the fun of nightlife to their heart’s content.
It was late at night.
Close to midnight, the lights of all the houses in Konoha’s village were extinguished one by one, leaving only Hokage’s building that operated 24 hours a day, as well as some casinos and barbecue restaurants that stayed up all night, still brightly lit throughout the night.
At this time, the land of Uchiha’s clan at the edge of the village was even darker.
There was not even a single lamp.
Uchiha’s eight hundred clansmen were Konoha’s villagers in name, but in reality, they maintained a distance from the other clans and civilians, living in their own small world.
Since Uchiha handed over the police department, this family has stopped communicating with the village and lived a life almost isolated from the world.
In the darkness of the clan grounds, Uchiha’s clansmen seemed to have fallen asleep, all quiet.
However.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Under the dim light, there were figures occasionally flashing across the streets, trees, and houses.
Uchiha’s ninjas were silently gathering in a direction.
Naka Shrine, in a forest nearby.
Uchiha Fugaku crossed his arms over his chest, waiting.
In the empty ground in front of him, dozens of clansmen had gathered, standing in a few rows in an orderly manner, and there were people constantly rushing over.
After each Uchiha arrived, he silently joined the group, without any small movements of whispering to each other, let alone making any movements.
It displayed an extremely high discipline.
Beside Fugaku, Dan had a calm expression as he stood side by side with Tsunade, who was of the same name as him, and sized up these clansmen in front of him.
I saw that they all wore Uchiha’s high-necked blue robes, and their belts were full of weapons and ninja tools, such as kunai, shuriken, Senbon, Kodachi, Odachi, explosive charms, ninjutsu scrolls…
Everyone is a walking arsenal, completely configured to fight a ninja world war.
If Konoha’s people saw this, they would definitely think that Uchiha was going to start a coup tonight.
After a while.
“Is everyone here?”
Fugaku asked, his gaze sweeping across the crowd.
Tonight, all of Uchiha’s elites had arrived. In addition to 80 ninjas who had awakened Sharingan, there were 20 other people who had not opened Sharingan, but their strength was above that of Chunin.
There were exactly 100 people.
After confirming that the assembly was complete, Fugaku cleared his throat and gave a simple pre-war speech.
He stared at the clansmen and slowly said in a calm and dignified voice,
“Uchiha is the clan of battle.
As the descendant of Sage of The Six Path, our clan has a long history of more than a thousand years. Whether it was the previous Warring States Era or the current Ninja Era, they all left behind a great reputation.
In the long river of history, only the former Senju clan could compare to Uchiha.
Now that even Senju has died, and our Uchiha still stands tall, it is enough to prove that Uchiha is the well-deserved strongest in the Ninja Realm!”
As they listened to Clan leader talk about Uchiha’s glorious history.
The eyes of the clansmen were burning, and their faces were filled with pride and honor. They were proud of being a Uchiha.
As Tsunade listened, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Especially when she heard that Senju had died, it made her frown even more. It was just that under the night sky, no one noticed.
She had an impulse to refute Fugaku. What was the strongest again ?
But when she thought that she was the only one left in Senju’s clan, Tsunade couldn’t help but fall silent.
Fugaku paused for a few seconds and continued to speak. He only changed the topic,
“In the past fifty years, Uchiha, as an elder, single-handedly founded Konoha Village. However, he was tempted by the second generation Hokage, who carefully built a cage to trap us.
That cage was the police department.
Every day, for the trivial matters in the village, our people constantly consumed their talent and youth, and also endured the villagers’ incomprehension and even abuse.
The blood and fire far away from the battlefield became domesticated tigers, gradually losing their sharp eyes and sharp claws.
Fortunately, we finally woke up. The whole clan worked hard to break free of this cage.”
At this point, Fugaku glanced at his brother-in-law beside him.
The clansmen also looked towards Dan and thanked the curator for pointing out the right path for Uchiha with their eyes. Everything was in silence.
Finally.
Fugaku raised his voice and revealed the purpose of gathering the clansmen.
“This operation is to take back what belongs to us, Uchiha. Thousands of years of history books, many secret arts developed by generations of ancestors with wisdom, as well as the national treasure flame fan! Of course, we also have to destroy the enemy’s nest and destroy the enemy’s conspiracy against the Uchiha clan!”
After this impassioned speech,
The clansmen were impatient, waiting for Clan leader Fugaku to give the order to start the operation.
Fugaku thought for a moment and turned to his brother-in-law.
“Dan, before we set off, give this operation a code name.”
Oh?
Hearing this, Dan looked at the other Uchiha, then glanced at Tsunade beside him, and his heart moved.
“This operation is full of danger, and my friend with excellent medical skills is willing to fight side by side with Uchiha as a military doctor. In order to thank him for his help, I suggest that the code name of this operation is… surgery.”
Surgery.
Hearing this code name, Fugaku’s eyes lit up.
What he meant was that Uchiha was like a scalpel, directly stabbing into the enemy’s nest and removing the tumor that posed a threat to Uchiha.
It was like a doctor using surgery to remove the lesion, quick and accurate.
Moreover, he also used this code name to express Uchiha’s respect and gratitude to the Doctor.
“This code name is very cool.”
“As expected of the curator. I am preparing to open a massage shop recently. When the time comes, I will ask the curator to give me a good name.”
“…”
The clansmen nodded one after another and cast a gaze full of respect and friendliness at Tsunade.
“Cough cough.”
Tsunade covered her mouth with her hand and pretended to cough. In her heart, she was quite satisfied with the words of flattery.
Sigh, there was really no way.
She had originally thought of catching fish if she could, but now that she had been interrupted, she could only put in a little more effort.
“Then, prepare to set off.”
Fugaku no longer hesitated. As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes turned into the pattern of Three Tomoe.
The next second.
Shua, shua, shua.
Seventy to eighty pairs of Sharingan lit up one by one in the dark, like bloodthirsty wolves with red eyes.
Tsunade panicked and subconsciously took a step back.
Although she was very confident in her transformation technique, being exposed to so many pairs of Sharingan, she could not help but worry about being seen through.
Just as Uchiha was about to take action.
Kacha.
A crisp sound suddenly came from the tree forest. It seemed that someone was stepping on a tree branch.
“Who?!”
In an instant, tens of pairs of Sharingan looked over in unison. In the end, the clansmen were surprised to discover that the person who had arrived was actually… Shisui.
Shisui closed his eyes tightly and appeared from the darkness. He walked over step by step.
“Why is Shisui here? Wasn’t he ordered to stay behind in the clan grounds?”
“His bandages have been removed. Could it be that his eyes have recovered?”
As everyone was discussing in low voices, they suddenly stopped talking and their voices disappeared.
Because.
Under their gazes, Shisui slowly opened his eyes. They saw a pair of four-horned Shuriken spinning in his eyes, emitting an incomparably demonic light.
His Mangekyo had returned.
“Sorry, I’m late.”
Shisui said with an apologetic face. In order to adapt to his eyes again, he spent some time.
“That’s great.”
The addition of Shisui made all of Uchiha more excited.
In this way, Uchiha’s three Mangekyo powerhouses would all participate in this “surgery” battle, and the operation would inevitably be smoother.
Compared to the excitement of the clansmen, Fugaku and Itachi were more surprised.
Because they had seen with their own eyes that Shisui’s eyes had been cut off, and the current situation was actually?
Fugaku couldn’t help but look at his brother-in-law and ask, “Dan…”
“As I said, I just helped Shisui take care of his eyes temporarily. Now is the time when the family needs him, and he has repented, hasn’t he?”
Dan whispered to his brother-in-law.
When Itachi heard his uncle’s words, he opened his mouth in shock.
Based on his understanding of Dan, he had always thought that after his uncle found an excuse to steal Shisui’s eyes, it would be impossible for Dan to return them to him.
So it turned out that he had wrongly blamed his uncle?
Thinking of this, Itachi felt even more confused.
What exactly was his uncle thinking? He was getting more and more confused.
He would never be able to guess what his uncle was going to do next.
“Dan.”
At this time, Shisui walked toward Dan and smiled. He said gently, “Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will fight for the family.”
Dan also smiled and patted Shisui on the shoulder.
“Alright, when the time comes, I’ll let you take the lead and perform well.”
Obviously.
The reason why he gave the eye back to Shisui was to make use of the other party so that Shisui would be the first to rush up and fight to the death in the next battle.
After the matter was over.
For example, if Dan fears Shisui would use Kotoamatsukami against him, he could just find an excuse and take back his eyes.
Anyway, for Uchiha, Sharingan was like a USB flash drive, which was very convenient to use.
Dan liked to beat his nephew when he had nothing to do, so he could play with Shisui’s eyes repeatedly.
It was all to find some fun.
Of course, Shisui did not know what Dan was thinking.
When he saw the smile on Dan’s face, he naively thought that it was Dan’s trust in him, and even his eyes were sour because of it, and there were moved tears in his eyes.
With the arrival of Shisui.
This time, all of Uchiha’s elites were really here.
Thus.
Fugaku took a deep breath. His gaze was sharp as he ordered in a deep voice,
“Let’s go!”
Just as he finished speaking.
Sou Sou Sou Sou Sou Sou!
Uchiha and the others all leaped up one by one, leaping up and down in the forest.
In this dark night.
Just like that, the elites of Uchiha’s entire clan silently left the clan grounds, leaving Konoha, and headed towards Mountains’ Graveyard who was thousands of miles away…
They rushed forward with murderous intent.
