Chapter 27 Betrayal of the Village
Outside the Uchiha clan's territory.
There are several tall towers here, which Konoha built to monitor the Uchiha clan.
Instead of heading out of the village, Itachi walked towards the three towers.
The Third Hokage's direct subordinates, the Anbu, were atop the tower. Seeing Itachi walking towards them, they began to feel uneasy.
"Isn't that Itachi? What's he planning to do?"
A cold light flashed in Itachi's eyes, and before he even got close to the tower, he had already formed a hand seal.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"
As several enormous fireballs flew out, several bottles crashed onto the wooden tower.
boom!
With the help of the kerosene, a huge flame immediately ignited.
The nine members of the secret service, atop the three towers, jumped down like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
With a flick of his wrist, Itachi unleashed a barrage of shuriken at the airborne targets.
"Itachi! What are you doing!?"
"hateful!……"
"what!……"
Although Itachi's move was sudden, the Anbu members were prepared.
All nine members of the secret service drew their weapons to parry, but only two were shot in vital areas and died on the spot.
The four people who had just spoken and glared at Itachi suddenly went black and lost consciousness.
As a ninja, falling from a height of tens of meters wouldn't normally cause any harm, but if you're unconscious...
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Four muffled thuds, and the four people were smashed into pieces.
The remaining three were terrified: "Itachi! Do you want to betray the village!?"
These few secret agents were just people keeping watch; their abilities weren't that great to begin with.
Itachi leaped up and killed both of them with two slashes.
Then, with a single stroke, he pinned the last hidden member to the ground.
"Pfft!" The ANBU member spat a mouthful of blood onto his mask.
Itachi, with an indifferent expression, stepped on his chest and pulled a kunai from his bag.
"Go back and tell Hiruzen Sarutobi that he doesn't need to come up with a foolproof plan."
"I, Uchiha Itachi, have betrayed the village!"
As he spoke, he slashed the headband on his forehead with the kunai.
"Itachi, you...!"
The members of the Dark Division were filled with shock.
Itachi actually betrayed the village so directly. Just two days ago, Itachi was the captain of the Anbu.
He still holds many secrets of Konoha.
Patrol routes and rotation times, as well as the frequency of the barrier, etc.
This is the first person from Konoha to openly betray the village since Orochimaru.
Itachi then pulled out the weapon that was stuck in the ANBU's body.
They even wiped the blood off his body before leaving the scene.
The remaining members of the Dark Guard were badly injured and could only lie on the ground watching the three towers burn and collapse.
Several members of the secret service jumped down quickly: "Number Seven, what happened!?"
Number Seven caught his breath: "Itachi Uchiha attacked us and openly betrayed the village!"
"What!?"
……
Konoha Hospital.
Kakashi, whose eyes had been gouged out, has woken up.
"No!! Eyes!!"
Where are my eyes!?
Kakashi was terrified. This was the last gift Obito had given him, and now it was gone.
All the people he loved in this world are dead, and now he has no one left to hold onto even that last thought.
Kakashi almost broke down.
The medical ninja and the waiting ANBU members quickly restrained him.
Only after Kakashi calmed down did they begin to explain what had happened yesterday.
Kakashi never expected so many things to happen after he fell into a coma.
In other words, the Uchiha clan and Konoha are currently at odds, and it is even very likely that they will fight each other in the future.
Even if Obito gave him the Sharingan, the Uchiha clan still had the right to take it back.
Because this eye belonged to the Uchiha clan first, then to Obito, and finally to Kakashi.
Danzo's Root faction and the Uchiha clan clashed in this way.
It's impossible for Kakashi to get Obito's eyes back.
That's why he was even more devastated.
……
The Hokage's office.
"Itachi killed eight people and then betrayed the village!?"
The Third Hokage was incredulous.
The ANBU member responded, "Yes, Itachi said you don't need to come up with a foolproof plan anymore; he's betrayed the village."
The Third Hokage's expression turned grim after hearing what the Anbu had to say.
Itachi has indeed woken up from his previous brainwashing.
It's normal for the Third Hokage's political brainwashing to be broken, but Itachi woke up in just one night.
That last sentence, intended to make him lose everything, was clearly a sarcastic remark.
The Third Hokage paused for a moment: "Where are the rest of the Uchiha clan?"
"Reporting to the Hokage, the Uchiha civilians are still traveling as usual."
"Some combatants have left the village, but their numbers and whereabouts are unknown."
Because Itachi only took out elites, who were basically hidden from view, the Anbu couldn't see them very clearly.
Just then, a knock sounded on the door, and another member of the secret service walked in.
"Third Hokage, Kakashi has woken up and wants to see you."
The third generation, while smoking a cigarette and thinking, nodded slightly upon hearing this: "Tell him to rest first, I'll go see him later."
"Yes!"
"Go down!"
"Yes!"
After the secret agents left the office.
The third generation said to the empty office, "Bring the people back."
A voice rang out: "Chieftain, it's not easy to hide with so many people."
The Third Hokage slowly exhaled a puff of smoke: "Jiraiya will arrive tomorrow night. There won't be a fight for now. Let the clansmen come in in batches."
"Are five hundred people enough?" A figure vaguely appeared on the bookshelf next to the office.
After all, it's difficult to hide with so many people around, and unless absolutely necessary, Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't want other Konoha ninja clans to know that he possesses this power.
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to continue hiding his strength, he was also well aware that the Uchiha clan and the village could clash at any moment.
With the other ninja clans standing by and doing nothing, the five hundred Sarutobi clan members were simply no match for them.
"Bring them all back." Hiruzen Sarutobi looked somewhat annoyed.
His hidden strength, which he has been concealing for so many years, is about to be exposed, putting him in a very passive position.
That figure also knew that Konoha was in dire straits, and there was nothing that could be done about it.
"Chief, should we call Asma back?"
The Third Hokage slowly took a drag of his cigarette, the smoke obscuring his face and making his expression impossible to see.
“After his older brother died, Asma became a bit unruly.”
"He's too naive. Let him hone his skills in Daming Prefecture."
"He can't help here. Don't worry about the mission in the Land of Lightning. Stay in Konoha for now."
"I understand, I'll make the arrangements."
……
Konoha Hospital.
"How is Kakashi's recovery going?"
The Third Hokage stood with his hands behind his back, appearing calm and composed as if the conflict with the Uchiha yesterday had never happened.
"Third Hokage, I'm alright now, but my Sharingan..."
The Third Hokage waved his hand, indicating to Kakashi that he didn't need to say anything.
"The key to this matter lies with Danzo, but Danzo was severely injured by Itachi's genjutsu, and it is still unknown whether he will wake up."
"The Anbu just reported that Itachi has openly defected from the village."
"You need to be mentally prepared about the Sharingan."
Kakashi looked somewhat dazed. If that's the case, then Obito's eyes might not come back.
The Third Hokage was well aware of how much Kakashi valued this eye.
He changed the subject: "The Uchiha have a lot of prejudice against me, but that Sharingan was given to you by Obito after all."
"If you have the opportunity to meet with the Uchiha clan later, you can see their attitude."
