I defected before Genocide Night

The next day.

It was still a lively day in Konoha.

The merchants and residents on the street don't know the plans of Konoha's senior officials.

But during this period, the news that the demon fox kid had disappeared made them feel particularly relaxed and happy, and it seemed that even the air they breathed became sweeter.

"It's so comfortable!" Sakura couldn't help but stretched.

Realizing that she had actually made an indecent move in front of Sasuke, she hurriedly tidied up her appearance.

She secretly looked at Sasuke, but found that Sasuke was not paying attention at all.

While secretly breathing a sigh of relief, Sakura let out a frustrated sigh.

This was the first time that Sasuke took the initiative to come to her, and it was actually about Naruto.

Sasuke didn't notice her little emotion at all, he frowned and said in confusion: "When you saw Naruto last time, did you feel that something was wrong with him?"

He couldn't explain why, he just thought Naruto was strange.

Putting his hands in his trouser pockets, Sasuke occasionally turned his head to look at this slightly familiar street.

Before, people on this street accused Naruto of causing sabotage, but Naruto never showed up again.

When she heard him mention Naruto, Sakura was actually a little concerned.

But no matter what important matter it was, she couldn't stop her from dating Sasuke-kun today.

Thinking of this, Sakura waved her hand to Sasuke nonchalantly and said with a smile: "Forget it, Naruto is that annoying guy. Didn't he always have no parents? Maybe they came back and took him away.

indefinite."

Hearing her heartless words, Sasuke, who knew part of the inside story, pursed his lips.

But this time, since his tribe and parents were not massacred, he could not empathize with it.

The two of them continued walking.

When passing by a store, the store manager who had seen him shouted in surprise: "It's Master Sasuke. It was really thanks to you last time. Now that the demon fox has disappeared. Without him, the business on our street has been much better."

Woolen cloth."

"No...you're welcome!" Sasuke was stunned and turned his head to the other side awkwardly.

He walked so fast that Sakura had to jog to keep up.

As they walked, people on the street kept saying hello to them.

Some people were thanking Sasuke, and a few recognized Sakura as Sasuke's little girlfriend.

On the surface, Sakura explained shyly and angrily: "Oh, we are not in this kind of relationship yet."

Li Ying was clenching her fists and laughing, wishing she could give those people a thumbs up.

But as she walked, the topics she heard started to change.

Almost all the people on the street were discussing Naruto.

"That little demon fox has finally disappeared!"

"Last time he ran into our store and caused trouble, which scared me. What if he gets hungry and eats us all?"

"Thankfully, Hokage-sama was wise and drove him away."

"Why drive him away? I heard that he was completely eliminated."

"Destroy? Did you burn him to death with fire?"

"That way, we no longer have to worry about being eaten by the demon fox."

…

After hearing these people talking, Sasuke and Sakura looked at each other.

They who had never experienced the Nine-Tails Rebellion couldn't understand that although Naruto was a little annoying, there was no need to burn him to death anyway.

Sasuke, who originally wanted to inquire about Naruto through these people, immediately gave up the idea.

The two people, who felt slightly uncomfortable, quickly left the street.

Separating from Sakura and returning to the tribe, Sasuke found that the tribe members were gathering in front of his house.

These tribesmen are noisy.

Sasuke squeezed in curiously and took a look, and was shocked to find a clansman lying on the ground with his eyes gouged out.

"Who did it?"

Shocked, Sasuke quickly approached his father next to him.

"Clan leader, we must find the murderer and let those people know that our Uchiha clan is not someone to be trifled with."

One tribesman clenched his fists with anger on his face.

"Who else could it be? It must be Taki who covets the eyes of the tribe."

Other tribesmen were discussing the murderer intensely.

Fugaku's face was gloomy, and he looked at the corpse on the ground without saying a word.

The clan member who died was a Jonin who had activated the Three Magatama Sharingan.

To be able to kill this Jonin clansman in the Uchiha clan and escape without a trace, the enemy must not be simple.

"Who is the one?"

Several names flashed through Fugaku's mind.

The one at the top of the list is, of course, Taki, who once claimed that he wanted to capture the eyes of his tribe.

Taki appeared in Konoha not long ago, and although he disappeared for a while, it is possible that he was just hiding and waiting for the opportunity.

Thinking of this, Fugaku couldn't help but frown.

On the other side, Sasuke was a little worried when he saw the angry tribesmen around him and his father, whose brows were furrowed and his face was unwavering.

He turned around and looked around, wanting to ask his brother what happened.

But at this time, Uchiha Itachi was on an ANBU mission, so of course he couldn't appear here.

Sasuke turned his head and looked left and right but couldn't find his brother. He looked away in frustration and lowered his head.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a small snake creeping over next to him.

Worried that his tribe would be bitten by the snake, Sasuke walked over and trampled the snake to death.

…

roots.

In the laboratory, Danzo picked up the glass dish containing the Sharingan and observed it carefully, then put it back.

He nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, this time I harvested three magatama sharingan eyes, which can be transplanted into my arm."

The Three Magatama Sharingan is a consumable item he uses to activate the forbidden technique of Izanagi.

The root ninja next to him hesitated for a moment and reminded him: "If the Uchiha clan knows that we have been secretly looking for opportunities to collect Sharingan, I'm afraid they will riot."

"Then let them riot!"

Hearing what his subordinates said, Danzo covered his transplanted eye and sneered: "As long as this eye is here, the Uchiha clan won't have anything to worry about."

This is the eye he snatched from Uchiha Shisui, and it can activate the most powerful genjutsu Beitenjin.

"But Hokage-sama..."

"Needless to say, the Uchiha clan must think it was Taki who did it, and they will never doubt us."

Before taking action, Danzo had already thought about the consequences of doing so.

It was precisely because Taki took the blame that he could snatch Uchiha's eyes away without any worries.

The Sharingan thing is just a trivial part, and the following Jinchūriki replacement ceremony is what Danzo really cares about.

"Is that girl from the Uzumaki clan who I brought back from the Land of Grass now at peace?"

Danzo looked at his subordinates with sharp eyes.

Ever since Uzumaki Naruto first went berserk, he had secretly ordered people to prepare for this.

The person who can replace Uzumaki Naruto and better control the Nine-Tails is of course a member of the Uzumaki clan.

To this end, Danzo even used hidden lines buried in various countries.

Finally, he found a survivor of Uzushio Village in the Country of Grass.

It was precisely because he found a candidate who could replace Naruto that he proposed to the Third Generation and other advisors many times to replace the Jinchuuriki at the Hokage meeting.
