Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 294 Hibernation
As early as half an hour ago, the Third Hokage arrived at the Anbu base and summoned his elite ninjas.

However, after arriving at the outskirts of the Uchiha clan's territory, the Third Hokage did not rush into the clan's territory. Instead, he ordered his men to block the nearby streets to ensure that no one nearby would interfere with Uchiha Itachi's actions.

In the eyes of the Third Hokage, since he had followed Uchiha Itachi's advice, he would destroy the Uchiha clan tonight.

Then this matter must be done cleanly and neatly, without leaving any handle. Except for the elderly, children, women and children, it must be ensured that all Uchiha ninjas with combat capability die in the turmoil tonight.

Once the remnants of the Uchiha escape from Konoha, they will definitely cause a storm in the ninja world, putting themselves and the village into a passive situation.

At this time, the Third Hokage frowned when he saw Danzo walking out of the clan territory.

He remembered that he had warned Danzo once not long ago. How dare Danzo appear in the Uchiha clan's territory tonight? Did Danzo want to obtain the Sharingan so much?
After snorting in his heart, the Third Hokage said to Danzo: "Danzo, I need an explanation? Why did you appear in the Uchiha clan's territory?"

Shisui, who played Danzo, quickly got into the role and said slowly:

"Huruzen, I am just monitoring the Uchiha as usual. I suspect that the Uchiha are planning a coup tonight, so I brought my men to surround the Uchiha territory."

"I didn't expect that a civil strife would break out within the Uchiha tonight, and many people died."

"In order to ensure that the bloodline limit in the village does not leak out, I have no choice but to let my men clean up the bodies and remove the Sharingan from them."

After hearing that Danzo came for the Sharingan, the Third Hokage thought to himself that it was just as he expected.

Ever since the death of Sensei Tobirama, Danzo began to target the Uchiha clan intentionally or unintentionally, believing that the Uchiha clan was a naturally evil clan.

Whenever the village suffered any loss, Danzo would jump out and put the blame on the Uchiha.

Whenever the Uchiha gained some merit, Danzo would find various reasons to suppress the Uchiha.

After a long time, even he, Xiaochun, Yan and others gradually developed prejudices against Uchiha, and inadvertently targeted Uchiha several times, indirectly forcing Uchiha to rebel.

If it weren't for Uchiha Itachi's great sense of justice, the Uchiha's rebellion tonight would never have ended so easily. It would have likely caused more serious consequences, and the loss of the entire Anbu was not impossible.

Even so, the village lost dozens of elite ninjas tonight.

Once the news of the Uchiha clan's demise spreads to the outside world, it will inevitably cause quite a stir.

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage became more and more unhappy with Danzo. After walking up to the latter, he snorted and said, "Danzo, if you hadn't attacked Shisui, things would never have come to this point."

"From today on, I will remove you from your position as Konoha's elder and expel you from high-level meetings."

Facing the orders from the Third Hokage, Uchiha Shisui sneered in his heart, then glared at the Third Hokage fiercely and said a few harsh words:
"Hiruzen, I will follow your orders, but one day you will regret it."

"You have to remember that I am doing things for you, and I am doing things that you want to do but dare not do. For the Konohagakure, I can do it with a clear conscience. Can you do that?"

After saying that, Shisui stepped into the crowd and disappeared into the darkness.

He had fulfilled his promise to save the Uchiha, and for the rest of his life, besides helping Lord Byakuya, his only concern was to avenge his enemies.

How Uchiha was forced into a desperate situation, and how his grandfather Uchiha Kagami died, all these need to be thoroughly investigated, and then the murderer can be given an unexpected surprise.

After hearing the few words left by Danzo, the Third Hokage silently repeated them in his heart, and his face became even uglier. What does it mean to do something he wants to do but dares not do? Although he did have the idea of ​​destroying the Uchiha and getting rid of Shisui in his mind, it was only limited to thoughts.

As long as he doesn't put it into practice, nothing happens.

On the contrary, Danzo always pursues personal gain under the pretext of doing good for the village, and he is always the one who cleans up the mess after serious mistakes are made.

However, that is all in the past.

Now that the troublesome Uchiha clan in the village has been eliminated, there is no need for Danzo to continue staying in the position of advisory elder.

If Danzo continues to act like this, even the Hyuga clan might rebel.

After entering the Uchiha clan's territory, the Third Hokage smelled blood in the air, but after entering the house, he failed to find the bodies of the dead. They seemed to have been transferred in advance by the Root.

Not long after, the Third Hokage arrived at Uchiha Fugaku's residence.

There were still no bodies in the Fugaku Mansion, but judging from the scale of the damage to the building, it was a fierce battle.

After searching hard for a while, the Anbu ninja found Sasuke in the closet.

Sasuke was sweating profusely, clutching the clothes of the Anbu ninja, and kept muttering Itachi's name, as if he had encountered a nightmare.

After bringing Sasuke to the Third Hokage, the Anbu ninja said, "Third Hokage, this should be the only survivor of the Uchiha. He is in a very bad condition and seems to have been frightened by something."

"Scared?" The Third Hokage shook his head. After sensing Sasuke, he confirmed that Sasuke was under an illusion and began to make hand seals to break the illusion.

As the chakra running through his meridians returned to normal, Sasuke looked much better.

The Third Hokage saw this scene, sighed and said:
"This child was not simply frightened, but was under an illusion. I have just removed the illusion for him, but it will probably take several months or even years for him to fully recover."

The Anbu next to him nodded and looked at Sasuke in his arms with some pity.

In just one night, the child lost all his tribesmen and became a loner in the literal sense. Such a heavy blow was difficult even for a mature adult to accept.

What’s more, it’s such a young child.

The Third Hokage had different thoughts when looking at Sasuke. Of course he would take good care of Sasuke, as this was his duty as Hokage.

But Sasuke was more than just a poor orphan to him.

Sasuke is the only Uchiha left in the village, and the only bond between himself and Uchiha Itachi. Although tonight's Uchiha genocide was caused by Itachi and other ninjas.

But it also indirectly proves Uchiha Itachi's strength. Considering Itachi's age of thirteen, Itachi is very likely to become a powerful ninja like Uchiha Madara in the near future.

If such a ninja stood against the village, it would be a great loss to the village.

And now he needs to rely on Uchiha Itachi to divert hatred, investigate the truth of the Nine-Tails Night, and what the so-called masked man wants to do to the village.
