Chapter 246 The Uchiha Clan Rebellion! Kill without mercy!
Konoha Police Department.
The police headquarters building, once a symbol of the Uchiha's pride and power, has now been transformed into a bloody battlefield.
Broken windows, overturned tables and chairs, large patches of blood splattered on the walls, and Uchiha elites lying lifeless on the ground.
A mysterious figure wearing an orange tiger-striped swirling mask, like a grim reaper, roamed freely through the spacious police department lobby.
Each swing of his long sword brought forth a spray of vivid, tragic blood.
Relying on the "Kamui" intangibility ability granted by his right Mangekyou Sharingan, the attacks of the Uchiha ninjas, whether it was a raging fire jutsu, a tricky and deadly ninja tool, or even a kunai thrust that was only inches away, were all as if passing through air and could not harm him in the slightest.
Each time he materialized, it was accompanied by the fall of an Uchiha ninja.
"Damn it! This guy's abilities are too weird!"
"All attacks were ineffective!"
"Lord Yashiro, watch out!"
Screams, roars, and the sounds of ninjutsu exploding mingled together.
Uchiha Hachiro, Uchiha Inahi, and other elite Jonin of the Uchiha clan were also covered in blood and wounds.
They tried their best to organize a counterattack, attempting to find a weakness in the mysterious masked man, but his almost unsolvable ability to become ethereal made their resistance seem so futile and hopeless.
"Monster! What on earth is this thing?!" Yashiro gasped for breath, clutching his bleeding abdomen and leaning against the broken counter, his eyes filled with childlike wonder.
Uchiha Tekka, who was beside him, had become a cold corpse, his chest pierced by chains.
The Eighth Hokage simply couldn't believe it—more than a dozen Uchiha Jonin couldn't stop a single opponent?!
The bodies of his comrades fell around him one after another; the once-powerful elite police force was now like lambs to the slaughter.
Watching the once arrogant Uchiha elites struggle and fall under his blade, even though many of them were familiar to him, a cold and cruel pleasure shone in the single eye behind Obito's mask.
"It's already night. Let's disappear quietly." He was preparing to launch the next round of deadly attacks to completely eliminate these leaders and bring this "cleanup" to a close.
Boom!
A huge window on one side of the building suddenly shattered!
Broken glass shards rained down like a storm, and the bright moonlight shone through the broken window, illuminating several figures who suddenly burst in!
Several figures, as nimble as cheetahs, burst into the hall through the broken window amidst the sound of shattering glass!
The leader was an exceptionally tall and robust man with strange bluish-gray skin, and had sharp teeth like a shark and facial markings resembling gill slits.
He carried a massive weapon, almost as tall as himself, wrapped in thick bandages—the Samehada!
Behind him were several ninjas who had also appeared suddenly, wearing various animal masks and uniform vests with the iconic logo of the Star Ninja Village. They moved swiftly and silently, like well-trained night hunters.
"Huh?" Obito's movements froze instantly. His single eye peered through the hole in his mask, his gaze fixed on Kisame, or more precisely, on the large sword on Kisame's back that exuded a strong aura of blood.
"Kisame Hoshigaki? And Samehada?"
A series of distant scenes flashed through Obito's mind.
Years ago, he manipulated the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, to secretly order three of the renowned Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist—Juzo Biwa, Mangetsu Hozuki, and Fuguki Suigetsu—to intercept and kill "Shura," who had infiltrated the Mist Village.
The battle ended tragically. Higanzō and Suigetsu Hozuki died on the spot, and their famous ninja swords, "Kubikiri" and "Samehada," were taken by Shura. Only Hozuki Mangetsu escaped with injuries.
Now, Samehada, which should have been in Shura's hands, has appeared behind Kisame Hoshigaki, an S-rank rogue ninja who defected from Kirigakure!
And Kisame was even wearing the Hoshinobi uniform!
"A Star Ninja—the Asura?!" Obito's mind raced, and he instantly understood many things.
A strong chill spread down my spine.
"How did they get here? Did the plan to exterminate the clan get leaked? Shura and that Uchiha Hikaru must be nearby too!"
Just as he was filled with doubt and uncertainty, the Star Ninja launched his attack!
"Blood Dragon Technique!"
One of the Star Ninja Anbu members, wearing a tanuki mask, formed hand seals, and his crimson Blood Dragon Eyes instantly activated!
Lying on the ground, the blood of the Uchiha ninja, which was not yet completely cold, seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, gushing out from his wounds and quickly condensing into a roaring, blood-red dragon in the air!
With a heavy stench of blood and resentment, the Blood Dragon let out a silent roar and lunged at Obito with bared fangs and claws!
At the same time, several other Star Ninja Anbu members also acted without hesitation.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Dayama!"
"Lightning Release: Earth Walk!"
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
Several different elemental ninjutsu intertwined to form a dense barrage of fire, sealing off all of Obito's space to dodge!
"Damn it!" Obito cursed under his breath.
Faced with such a dense barrage of attacks from different directions, he did not hesitate and immediately unleashed his divine power!
His body instantly became illusory, the blood dragon passed through his body, and the earth spikes, water thorns, and explosive tags all missed their mark, leaving huge destructive marks on the ground and walls where they were originally located.
Kisame Hoshigaki grinned maliciously, then abruptly ripped off the bandages, revealing his shark-skin covered in barbs: "Looks like I'll have an extra meal tonight!"
Samehada seemed to sense its master's fighting spirit and excitedly opened its mouth full of sharp teeth.
Meanwhile, the younger member of the group, Ida, and two other companions rushed towards the surviving Uchiha Yatsushiro and the others, whispering, "We're here to rescue them! Don't resist!"
They took out first aid kits and ration pills and began to provide emergency treatment to the wounded.
"Oh my, how lively!" A sarcastic voice suddenly rang out.
The ground around the feet of the creature writhed like a swamp, and the pitcher plant-like black and white creature slowly rose up.
White Zetsu waved his arm exaggeratedly: "Lord Madara, something terrible has happened! Lots of Star Ninja in blue vests have appeared over the Uchiha clan's territory! They're dangerous, get out of here!"
Black Zetsu added in a low, hoarse voice, "The intelligence was seriously flawed; the plan must be halted."
"Hmph! Shura—I'll remember this debt!" Obito's face behind the mask was terrifyingly gloomy.
But now is not the time to wage a full-scale war against Shura. To be honest, even Nagato was defeated, and Obito is already considering that perhaps only by reviving Uchiha Madara can they achieve this.
He took a deep look at Kisame and the well-trained Star Ninja Anbu behind him, especially Miyajo Jin's strange bloodline limit.
Having confirmed that the enemy was numerous and well-prepared, he decided not to linger in the fight.
"Divine Might!" A spatial vortex twisted and appeared around him, instantly swallowing his figure and disappearing without a trace.
Black and White Absolute immediately sank into the ground, as if they had never existed.
Kisame Hoshigaki snorted coldly, and the bandages on Samehada trembled slightly, as if they too felt the regret of not being able to drink their fill of their enemy's blood.
"He got lucky he ran fast!" His voice had a deep, shark-like quality, filled with resentment at not being able to kill his enemy.
One of the culprits who attacked the Fourth Mizukage, considered him a traitor to the village, and ultimately forced him to defect to Kirigakure, slipped away right before his eyes.
The hall fell silent for a time, save for the heavy smell of blood and the groans of the wounded.
The remaining seven Uchiha ninja, including Uchiha Yatsuho and Uchiha Inahisa, were covered in blood, some leaning against the wall panting, others barely standing by leaning on their weapons.
They stared in shock at the group of Star Ninja who had suddenly appeared and repelled the terrifying masked man, their eyes filled with the bewilderment of surviving a close call and a deep sense of vigilance.
The ground was littered with the corpses of former colleagues, including skilled fighters like Tiehuo and Yaowei.
"Who...who are you people?! Why did you save us?" With the help of Ita, Uchiha Hachiro managed to stand up. Looking at the corpses of his clansmen scattered on the ground and the group of unfamiliar ninjas wearing animal masks in front of him, his voice was hoarse and full of vigilance.
Kisame Hoshigaki sheathed his Samehada and glanced at the messy hall and the survivors.
He was naturally taciturn and too lazy to explain, but remembering Lord Shura's orders, he still answered directly in a deep voice, "I have come to rescue the Uchiha by order of Lord Shura."
"Shura?" Yashiro, Inahisa, and the others exchanged glances, not finding the name unfamiliar.
Shura attacked Konoha twice, which was known to elite Jonin like Yatsushiro and Inahisa. However, few people knew that Shura was the leader of the Star Ninja of the Land of Stars.
Kisame then spoke in his distinctive tone, uttering words that struck all the survivors like a thunderbolt: "The Konoha leadership has issued an order to exterminate your clan, with Itachi Uchiha tasked with carrying out the extermination. Root is responsible for setting up a barrier to seal off the clan's territory and prevent anyone from escaping."
He paused, noticing the instantaneous surge of disbelief and overwhelming hatred in their eyes, and added, "I know you might not believe it. But if we rush back to our territory now, we might still see—the other survivors."
These words were like pouring cold water into boiling oil, instantly igniting the survivor's last remaining hope and frantic anger!
The phrases "Itachi - Root Barrier of the Clan Extermination Order" combine to form a terrifying truth that they cannot accept yet can explain all the nightmares they are experiencing.
"It really is—Itachi!" The eighth generation of the Higanbana was furious, his teeth grinding together.
"Konoha's high command! Danzo!!" Inahime let out a beast-like growl.
"I knew it! Shisui's death must have been orchestrated by the Konoha higher-ups!"
"Uchiha Itachi! That guy must have been involved in the assassination attempt on Shisui!"
Despite the severity of his injuries, the immense shock and anger overwhelmed the physical pain.
They didn't even have time to question the identities and motives of these strangers, nor did they have time to treat their wounds.
The seven survivors exchanged glances, each seeing the resolute determination and the last glimmer of hope in the other's eyes.
"Go! Back to the clan's territory!" Yashiro roared, enduring the excruciating pain, and dragged his injured body, rushing headlong towards the clan's territory.
Daohuo and the others gritted their teeth and followed, their figures disappearing into the night outside the police station with unwavering determination.
Watching them leave, Kisame Hoshigaki waved to the ANBU members wearing animal masks behind him and coldly ordered, "Move! Take everything of value! Seal up the corpses too, leave no one alive!"
"yes!"
The Star Ninja Anbu sprang into action immediately, their movements swift and efficient. Some quickly unfurled specially made storage scrolls, sealing the bodies of the Uchiha ninjas on the ground inside; others stormed into the police department's database, packing up piles of documents, files, and filing cabinets; still others stood vigilantly by the broken windows and doors, on guard against any other Konoha ninjas who might arrive.
As Uchiha Yatsushiro, Inahisa, and the others dragged their wounded bodies out of the police department and stepped onto the street leading to the clan's territory, they were met head-on by a group of ninjas who were on high alert!
Leading the group was none other than Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the eldest son of Hiruzen Sarutobi, the captain-commander of Konoha's Anbu!
He was wearing a mask, but the shock and confusion in his eyes were hard to hide.
Behind him were several ninjas from a mix of Root and Anbu.
Shinnosuke was filled with suspicion and uncertainty: "What happened? Didn't we arrange for a team to monitor the police department? How did these Uchiha escape? Where are the people inside who were carrying out the extermination mission?"
According to the plan, the Uchiha elites in the police department should have been almost completely "cleaned out" by now!
The two sides met and exchanged no pleasantries.
Hatred, fear, misunderstanding, and orders to kill instantly ignited the conflict!
"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!" Uchiha Inahime's eyes turned bloodshot, and ignoring her injuries, she unleashed a massive fire dragon!
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!" The ANBU ninja immediately formed hand seals to counterattack.
Boom!!
A violent explosion rang out in the street, and flames shot into the sky, instantly illuminating the silent night sky of Konoha!
Immediately afterwards, more explosive tags were detonated, and the sounds of clashing ninja tools, whistling ninjutsu, roars, and screams filled the air!
The cool moonlight shone on the spacious plaza in front of the Konoha Anbu base.
Dozens of ninjas, dressed in identical ANBU uniforms and wearing animal masks, stood in neat rows, exuding a chilling aura.
They are members of the Anbu directly under the Hokage and elites of the "Root" unit controlled by Danzo Shimura.
Kakashi Hatake, as one of the ANBU captains, stood silently in the queue along with Yamato.
He wore a white cat mask, and his right eye, which was not covered by the mask, moved slightly, scanning his surroundings. He was also filled with doubts about the sudden emergency assembly tonight.
In front of the plaza, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, stood in his dark combat attire, wearing a helmet and holding the Vajra Staff, his face bearing his usual solemnity.
Danzo Shimura stood slightly behind him, leaning on his cane, his single eye gleaming menacingly in the darkness.
Apart from the twelve elite ninjas sent to seal off the Uchiha clan's territory and monitor the Konoha Police Department, almost all of the top forces from the Anbu and Root were gathered here, totaling more than sixty people!
Their orders were to "stand by and respond to any emergencies," but no one knew what those emergencies would be.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze was fixed on the direction of the Uchiha clan's territory, his brows furrowed as if he were calculating the time.
"Although Itachi's strength has improved rapidly, Fugaku is, after all, the head of the clan and is very experienced—they should have already clashed by now, right?" He thought to himself, planning to lead his team into the Uchiha clan's territory under the pretext of "rescue" or "suppression" when the resistance forces were weakened and the area was completely in chaos.
If some Uchiha clan members could be spared, it would not only weaken the threat posed by the Uchiha clan but also demonstrate the Hokage's "benevolence," thus gaining an advantage in public opinion.
Meanwhile, Danzo Shimura was pondering completely different thoughts.
His gaze was fixed greedily on the direction of the Uchiha clan's territory, and on the Sharingan eyes of those Uchiha ninjas.
The research data left behind by that traitor from Orochi Island was too fragmented and the progress of new researchers was slow. It was also because of the loss of the precious Sharingan that Shizusui had once again lost. Danzo's heart was filled with anxiety and greed.
"I must take this opportunity to replenish my reserves! Fugaku's eyes, and those three-moon eyes—." In order to extend the number of times Izanagi can be used and to obtain a stronger quantity, the Sharingan is a treasure he is determined to obtain.
Each of them was lost in their own thoughts, and a heavy silence fell over the square.
Suddenly, a deafening roar!
A deafening explosion, accompanied by towering flames, suddenly came from the direction of the Uchiha clan's territory!
The violent tremors even reached the plaza of Ning's Dark Division base!
All members of the Dark Division and Root instantly became alert, their eyes turning in unison to the direction of the explosion!
Kakashi's brow furrowed even more deeply beneath the mask.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were both instantly invigorated!
"It's Uchiha clan territory!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice, his face showing just the right amount of "worry" and "gratitude".
"It seems the situation has changed! Itachi may be in trouble, or the Uchiha's resistance may be more intense than expected!"
Danzo Shimura was secretly delighted, but his face remained impassive: "Hiruzen, there's no time to lose! We must send reinforcements immediately! We can't let the chaos spread to other parts of the village!"
"Yes!" Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded emphatically, immediately raising the Vajra Staff he had just wielded, his voice booming and authoritative throughout the area: "All Anbu and Root members, listen to my command! The Uchiha clan has rebelled! Mass destruction is planned! All personnel, follow me!"
Suppress the rebellion and protect Konoha! Any resistance will be met with death!
"Yes!" Sixty elite ninjas responded in unison, their killing intent palpable.
More than sixty figures, like arrows released from a bow, led by Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, transformed into blurry black shadows and rushed rapidly towards the Uchiha clan's territory, which was illuminated by the firelight.
Meanwhile, Kakashi, still reeling from the Third Hokage's earlier statement that "the Uchiha clan has rebelled," felt his unease growing stronger.
This bloody storm, ignited by Konoha's high-ranking officials but attempting to intervene as "firefighters," is sweeping through the fates of countless people and has begun with a bang.
