Konoha: The inherently evil Uchiha

"Quick, get Itachi here immediately!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up, this was the best news he had heard today.

The other clan leaders cast surprised looks.

"this……"

Anbu looked embarrassed, recalling Itachi's appearance, he wanted to say something.

Seeing how eager the Hokage and the adults here were, he could only nod heavily:

"yes--"

Regarding the situation in the Valley of Sanctions, the Northwest Frontier Ninja Force has already sent people to report back information.

All the more than 10,000 cannon fodders were killed.

Hinata, Hiashi and Itachi are missing.

Before Iwagakure declared war on Konoha, this intelligence news was like a bombshell exploding in the minds of Sarutobi Hiruzen and all Konoha senior officials.

Not counting Uchiha Mikoto, there were ten Uchiha in total. Why should they fight against more than ten thousand ninjas?

With Iwagakure declaring war on Konoha, Konoha's top brass focused their attention on the frontline war.

One piece of bad news came one after another.

The top brass of Konoha were caught off guard.

Now that Itachi can come back safely, this means that Hyuuga Hichizu, whom Itachi protects, will most likely come back. This is naturally good news for Sarutobi Hiruzen and Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the seating area of ​​the Hyuga clan, and his old eyes swept over the three elders of the Hyuga clan.

Since then, he has supervised the battle to encircle and suppress Uchiha.

The Hyuga clan has three clan elders representing the family at various meetings in the Ninja Village.

The head elder of the Hyuga clan is named 'Hyuga Akagi', a gray-haired old man who is ten years older than Sarutobi Hiruzen.

At this time, the three elders of the Hyuga clan looked expectant, silent, and stared directly at the door of the conference room.

a long time.

A report came from outside the door:

"Hokage-sama, Itachi has arrived."

"Let him in quickly!!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly.

Creak——

The door to the conference room opened, and a stretcher was carried in by two Anbu, followed by a wretched Jounin of the Sarutobi clan. Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Konoha clan chiefs had dilated pupils.

I saw a black-haired ninja lying flat on a stretcher, his face pale and dying.

His eyes and body were covered with numerous bandages, and his face was indistinguishable.

All over his body, the only identifiable traces of his Uchiha uniform were the residue of dried blood and dirty mud.

"Is this Uchiha Itachi?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked angrily.

The leader of the ANBU said solemnly:

"It's absolutely true, my lord, and this is the command captain of the northwest border defense force who has returned. He is eager to see you and your lords."

With that said, the Anbu left the trouble to the defeated Sarutobi clan jounin behind him.

"Sandaime-sama..."

The Jonin of the Sarutobi clan looked sad and was about to complain, but Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his hand to stop him.

Quickly coming to the stretcher, Sarutobi Hiruzen untied the bandage on Itachi's face until it was enough to distinguish Itachi's face. He froze in place and called out absently:

"Itachi?"

On the stretcher, hearing a familiar voice, Itachi opened his mouth weakly and responded: "Sandaime...sir."

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately stretched out his hand, held Itachi's right hand tightly, patted the back of his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk yet, have a good rest."

Itachi nodded slowly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly: "Call a medical ninja team over immediately to treat Itachi!"

"yes--"

The two Anbu placed the stretcher on the floor of the conference room and left immediately, calling the medical ninja waiting outside the door to continue treating Itachi.

There was silence for a while.

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen let go of Itachi's hand, and together with the clan leaders of other families, they all looked at the jounin of the Sarutobi clan.

"First let's talk about the main reason why the Northwest Territory fell so quickly!" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked grim.

The commanding captain of the Sarutobi clan said sadly:

“Someone laid an undetectable trap in advance in our best garrison area and hid Aburame’s corpse in it.

By the time we found the bodies, it was already too late. By then, the poisonous insects had spread and most of the troops were killed or injured. "

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a dull pain in his forehead, sighed, took a few steps back, and sat back in his seat.

In the seating area of ​​the Aburame clan, Aburame Zhiwei, wearing sunglasses, lowered his head in thought.

If the Aburame's corpse was taken out of its protective clothing and put on the battlefield, the poisonous insects in its body would multiply in the corpse. It would be no less than the poisonous gas produced by the Aburame clan's forbidden art of pot poison. The ninja army was directly destroyed.

"Uchiha Yin Yue did it!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen lost Shinto.

The clan leaders looked shocked.

After Danzo's death, all the remaining loyal ninjas of Danzo's original organization base left the village.

Hiruzen was fully aware of this matter, but he did not send anyone to stop it in order to increase the probability of annihilating the Uchiha. Unexpectedly, it created a huge hidden danger for the fall of the northwest territory of the Fire Country.

"Tell me about...Itachi!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen held his head with one hand and pressed his thumb against his temple.

"We found Itachi during the retreat. At that time, he was stuck in the mud, lost his eyes, and had non-fatal wounds all over his body... It looked like he was abandoned by the roadside."

The commanding captain said bitterly.

"Lost eyes!!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was trembling slightly, and his whole body was as stiff as if he had been struck by lightning, but in one aspect he felt more at ease.

The scalps of all the Konoha clan leaders were numb, and they stood up one after another, staring at Uchiha Itachi who was being treated.

Previously, Sarutobi Hiruzen strongly recommended Itachi to become the new leader of the Root Organization, and the clan leaders had no objections, all because of Itachi's eyes.

But now, Itachi lost it.

When an Uchiha loses his Sharingan, it means he is half useless, just like a beast losing its sharpest claws.

The great elder of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Akamatsu, could no longer hold back and stood up suddenly.

Swinging his brown sleeves, the old man stared at the jounin of the Sarutobi clan with his white eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Where is Hiashi?"

The voice was like a bell, echoing in the conference room, bringing everyone's scattered thoughts back to reality.

"Sorry, we only found Itachi at the scene...and we didn't find any comrades from the Hyuga clan." The commanding captain looked sad.

The conference room fell into dead silence.

Itachi, who was responsible for protecting Hizu, had his eyes taken away and was severely injured like this. How can Hizu and other ninjas of the Hyuga clan fare better?

Although these Konoha dignitaries in the conference room prepared for the worst when the northwest border of the Fire Country fell, they were still waiting for a final answer.

"The Hyuga clan leader...is dead..."

When the needle drop could be heard in the conference room, Itachi's weak voice suddenly sounded.

This answer was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of everyone present.

Everyone looked at Itachi with different expressions.

The two Anbu who were guarding Itachi and the medical ninja felt the pressure emanating from the big shots present, and their breathing became a little harder.

"well--"

The great elder of the Hyuga clan sighed repeatedly, but his emotions did not erupt like a volcano.

The situation has developed like this, and it is not surprising that Rizu will die.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a sad look on his face, and he was sitting on a chair like a stone sculpture, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"Lord Hokage, summon Lord Jiraiya to come back, otherwise no one can stop Onoki!" Shikaku, who had been silent, suggested.

"Jiraiya-sama...is also dead."

Itachi spoke again.

There are too many things to do. I just got home. I’m working hard and will do more tonight. Sorry (__)!
