Uchiha's road to the top started from Konoha

Chapter 5: The Shadow Guards with Different Thoughts

Sarutobi Hiruzen was horrified. The death of Shimura Danzo could be described as underestimating the enemy in anger, but the death of Uchiha Kagami directly cast an indelible shadow on his mind - the strength of [Human Butcher] was far beyond the description of an elite jonin!
It is definitely movie-level strength!
(But I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, am not bad either!)

"Wind Release·Cyclone!"

Without stopping the hand seal gesture, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Enma combined their double wind-style ninjutsu, and the man and the beast spit out two small tornadoes from their mouths. The two merged in mid-air and suddenly grew larger and thicker, sweeping towards Uchiha Takean's direction.

Before it fell from the tree branch, Uchiha Kagami's headless corpse shook and was sucked tightly by the oncoming cyclone. Along with the surrounding branches and green leaves, soil, flowers and plants, as well as the corpse of Shimura Danzo under the tree, it formed a bloody tornado and rampaged through the forest.

The huge momentum made Uchiha Wuan, who was hiding away, marvel at it.

"Uchiha Kagami is such a pitiful guy. He was loyal to the Senju clan until the very end, but his body was destroyed by his fellow disciples."

"And poor Shimura Danzo, but it doesn't matter, you all have to die here."

"You should thank me for saving you from feeling lonely on your way to the underworld."

The teasing voice echoed in his ears. Sarutobi Hiruzen held the Vajra Ruyi Staff in both hands, maintaining a defensive posture, staring intently at Uchiha Takean who was standing on a branch not far away. Sarutobi Hiruzen, who possessed the summoning beast, Enma, was not afraid to look at the three-magatama Uchiha. The moment he fell into the illusion, Enma would pull him out.

However, the Sharingan in Uchiha Takean's eyes was completely different from that of Uchiha Kagami's, which was both gorgeous and evil. Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was not short of experience, instantly lowered his eyes and did not dare to look at him again.

"Don't look him in the eyes!"

"Uchiha Takean possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen yelled, his bad feeling growing stronger.

(How unlucky I am to encounter this pair of legendary eyes.)
Mangekyō Sharingan!

Listed by the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama as the most powerful forbidden power of the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Madara, the [Shura of the Ninja World] who ended the thousand-year chaos in the Ninja World and created the Ninja Village structure together with the [God of Ninja] Senju Hashirama, possessed this pair of invincible divine eyes.

(How old is Uchiha Wuan this year? Is he an adult? His strength has surpassed mine.)
(Uchiha...Uchiha!)
(Teacher Tobirama is right. Uchiha is the biggest destabilizing factor in the village.)
The past is a lesson for the future. The tragic deaths of Shimura Danzo and Uchiha Kagami and their ashes are still flying in the sky. Sarutobi Hiruzen dare not act rashly. Mito Kado En, Utane Koharu and Akimichi Torikaze surrounded him with grim expressions.

"Huruzen, we can't delay any longer. With such a big commotion, the rebel ninjas from Kumokage Village will be here soon."

Utane Koharu, who was able to squeeze into the ranks of the Second Hokage's disciples as a woman, naturally has her strengths. She is very good at calm analysis. The current situation is already quite unfavorable to them. If there is any accident, they will all be buried here.

So she lowered her voice and said, "Hiruzen, it's time to make a decision."

(Decision? What decision?)

(Should I evacuate alone? Or will you cover my strategic retreat?)

(Or will everyone flee when disaster strikes?)
Having seen the bright future, Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't want to die here at all. As long as he returns to Konoha Village, he will be the third Hokage who will be the center of attention, in charge of the most powerful ninja village!

Die here?

Do not make jokes!
Sensing the hesitation in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart and the uneasiness in the hearts of the other three, Uchiha Takean's lips curved slightly. He stroked Tachibana, who had already got into his collar with stars in his eyes. He enjoyed the "beautiful" look of the future high-ranking officials of Konoha who wanted to kill him but were hesitant to do so, and spoke slowly.

"I came here purely to cause trouble for Yunying Village, and I just happened to meet you here."

"It's even more coincidental that one of you is the ignorant Shimura Danzo, and the other is a traitorous ungrateful bastard."

"Now that these two people I hated the most are dead, I don't have that much hatred towards you anymore."

"After all, I'm not a demon. I can't kill innocent people."

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other three felt their hearts skip a beat and their faces twitched slightly. They all felt happy at the same time. But then their minds sank to the bottom when they heard Uchiha Takean's next words.

"As long as you are willing to leave two of you to be my dogs, I can let you go."

Watching the four people's expressions change from gloomy to happy, then to astonished, and finally to painful, Uchiha Wuan found it extremely amusing.

He remembered that in the original novel, these damned things just liked to play power games. They had killed the future golden generation of Konoha, just like the Qing Dynasty in the Celestial Empire. Especially Mitomonen and Utane Koharu, they seemed to have lived for a very long time and had always occupied the position of Konoha's senior elders and advisors. It was really ironic that the heroes who served the village and the people died early, while the politicians who served themselves and their own interests lived long.

It would be too easy for them to just kill them.

(The born evil Uchiha brat!)

Sarutobi Hiruzen cursed fiercely in his heart. The request made by the Uchiha brat was undoubtedly murderous.

But he was indeed a little moved.

Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu are ninjas who came from the young ninja clan. The only thing they talked about was that they were disciples of Senju Tobirama. Their own strength was not ranked among the best in Konoha Village, where many ninja clans gathered.

And he and Akimichi Tofu from the mystic family Ino-Shika-Cho will definitely make a contribution to the development of Konoha Village that no one else can match, and their importance is far greater than that of Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu.

Putting aside the past friendship, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had already entered the mindset of Hokage, felt the balance in his heart begin to tilt rapidly.

However, such words as giving up on the two of them could never come from the great, bright and righteous Sandaime Hokage, so Sarutobi Hiruzen missed the dead Shimura Danzo and inadvertently glanced at Akimichi Tofu.

"Don't believe his lies to sow discord. As long as we unite, we will be able to return alive and see our beloved families!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the sharp-minded Utane Koharu felt her heart sink, and anger and frustration flashed in her eyes - the four words "loving family" were really extremely ironic.

(Now it seems that only Xiaochun and I can stay.)
There will be no despair without hope. Mito Kado En is not an idiot for having made it this far.

As long as they voluntarily stay, Sarutobi Hiruzen will successfully escape. Out of consideration for his master, he will naturally treat his family preferentially. If he ignores them, they may become enemies and follow Uchiha Takean's wishes, making a fool of himself.

Moreover, as long as he survives, it makes no difference whether he serves as a dog for the Senju clan or the Uchiha clan.

Akimichi Tofu is a typical fat man of the Akimichi family. His main role is to rush around as a meat shield and attract fire for his teammates. He has a strong sense of justice in his heart.

Facing Sarutobi Hiruzen's hint, he had already made plans to hold back Uchiha Takean by himself. He would die sooner or later anyway, so where and why he would die was up to him, Akimichi Tofu!

The silent atmosphere was soon broken. Under the surprised gazes of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two, Akimichi Tofu took out the family secret medicine [Red Pepper Pill] which was left over from the battle against the rebels of the Hidden Cloud Village. The medicine could increase his strength a hundred times but had fatal side effects and was used in a life-and-death fight.

The "fat pig" in the eyes of ordinary people swallowed it in one gulp without any hesitation. The dazzling and gorgeous butterfly wings opened behind him in an instant. The huge chakra light of the butterfly wings shocked Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two, and also illuminated the dark side and desire for survival in their hearts.

"You go first, I'll hold back Uchiha Wuan!"

"Qufeng, hold on, we'll get you reinforcements!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and left, not wanting to be a dog for others. Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu, who were in a life-and-death situation, immediately followed. Seeing this, Uchiha Takean stared at Akimichi Tofu, who could fight with a Kage-level warrior in a short period of time and might even win, and said softly.

"does it worth?"

"Uchiha Wuan, if all things are decided based on whether they are worth it or not, that would be too sad."

Unparalleled power filled his whole body, but Akimichi Tofu knew that this was only a flash in the pan. The more he used it, the faster he would die. Facing the Mangekyō Sharingan that even Tobirama Senju was wary of, he had no intention of trying to compete.

The most important task at the moment is to delay Uchiha Wuan. As for the rest, I won’t be able to see it anyway.

Qiu Daoqufeng smiled freely and firmly, "Selling out the lives of my teammates and escaping with my life is not my way of ninja!"

"In that case, I will give you a dignified death."

"Then kill Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others one by one."

"In front of these eyes, you are all struggling to survive."

Knowing the other party's will to die, Uchiha Wuan naturally followed suit. As his scarlet and dazzling Mangekyō Sharingan turned, it was filled with an icy coldness that could kill everything.
