Chapter 319 Obito Isn't Necessarily the Scapegoat

Looking at the older Sasuke, the younger Sasuke's expression changed, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

Sasuke wanted to deny everything he 'experienced' in the illusion, but a voice inside him told him it was all real.

Based on what was shown on the light screen, it seems reasonable.

This made young Sasuke feel some sympathy for his other self.

"Hmph!" One-armed Sasuke snorted coldly; he didn't need any sympathy.

However, the one-armed Sasuke secretly envied this little Sasuke, who was much happier than him.

Both Sasuke's fate and the Uchiha clan in this timeline will be changed, and it's too early to say whether the changes will be good or bad.

But in the eyes of one-armed Sasuke, it should be better than what he experienced.

……

Naruto's house.

Knowing that it really was Boruto, his son, Naruto was somewhat at a loss.

Meanwhile, the Nine-Tails inside Naruto burst into laughter.

However, Nine-Tails was also surprised.

The fact that Boruto was able to travel to this time and space truly surprised the fox.

"Otsutsuki Urashiki?" Kurama's expression turned serious.

Boruto told Naruto what had happened, and Kurama (the Nine-Tails) heard it too.

Upon learning that Urashiki Otsutsuki had traveled to this era and that his goal was the Nine-Tails' chakra, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) had no choice but to take the matter seriously.

Although we don't know the exact strength of Urashiki Ōtsutsuki, since he is from the Ōtsutsuki clan, he must be quite powerful.

Moreover, the ability to travel through time and space is enough to make the Nine-Tails take it seriously.

With Naruto's current power, he definitely can't defeat Urashiki Otsutsuki.

As for Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, and the others, they might not be able to defeat Urashiki Otsutsuki either; Kurama (the Nine-Tails) certainly doesn't think they can.

……

The live stream continued on the screen, and the Naruto chat group was as lively as ever.

However, things were not peaceful in Konoha Village.

After all, the Sarutobi clan was wiped out, although there were still survivors.

In fact, the extermination of any family in the village would cause quite a stir.

Even the destruction of a small ninja village can have a significant impact on the entire village.

The Sarutobi clan was practically the most powerful family in the village.

Although the Sarutobi clan is not as famous as the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, and is only known to the outside world as the two great clans of Konoha, the Sarutobi clan keeps a low profile.

In fact, in terms of the number of ninjas, the Uchiha and Hyuga clans combined might not even have as many as Sarutobi.

Of course, the strength of a clan is not entirely determined by the number of ninjas.

In the face of a powerful ninja, having many weak ninjas is meaningless.

However, the influence of the Sarutobi clan in Konoha is undeniable.

With the annihilation of the Sarutobi clan, the entire Hidden Leaf Village descended into chaos.

At this point, not many people were in the mood to properly watch the light screen.

By the way, news of Itachi being imprisoned has also spread throughout the village.

After all, the Susanoo that appeared near the Sarutobi clan's territory was too conspicuous, and many people in the village saw it.

You can see that many people in the village are talking about it.

"It seems that Itachi Uchiha wiped out the Sarutobi clan!"

"The light screen said that Itachi was the Itachi who annihilated the clan, and it turns out that it really is. However, he didn't annihilate the Uchiha clan, but rather the Sarutobi clan."

"Why do you think Itachi wiped out the Sarutobi clan? Was it related to the Third Hokage?"

"It must be that a ninja from the Sarutobi clan wanted to kill Itachi and even kidnapped Sasuke, causing Sasuke to get injured, which angered Itachi!"

"Really? Who told you that?"

"I know, it's absolutely true."

……

The fact that several Sarutobi ninja kidnapped Sasuke and set a trap to kill Itachi, but Itachi killed the Sarutobi ninja and Sasuke was injured, is currently only known to a few people in the village.

As for who wiped out the Sarutobi clan, it's now said to be Itachi.

Many villagers and ninjas gathered outside the Hokage Building.

At this moment, all the lights in the Hokage Building were turned on.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood on the high place, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below.

"I am deeply saddened by the annihilation of the Sarutobi clan. I initially thought it was Itachi's doing, but after investigation, I discovered that I had wronged Itachi. The one who destroyed the Sarutobi clan was Uchiha Obito." Taking a deep breath, Sarutobi spoke with a serious expression.

With the aid of chakra, Sarutobi's voice reached everyone's ears.

For the sake of the village's stability and the overall situation, Sarutobi had no choice but to step forward and clarify.

We can only make Obito take the blame.

No, actually Obito isn't necessarily to blame.

It's possible that Obito impersonated Itachi and wiped out the Sarutobi clan.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi calmed down and analyzed the situation carefully, he began to have serious doubts about Obito.

Sarutobi's hatred for Obito grew even stronger.

The damage that Daito caused to the village was too great.

Then there's Hiruzen Sarutobi's wife, Biwako Sarutobi, who was killed by Obito.

During the Nine-Tails' rampage, some members of the Sarutobi clan also perished.

Now, the Sarutobi clan has been wiped out.

As for rebuilding the Sarutobi clan, that won't be easy either.

Even if the Sarutobi clan is rebuilt, it will take time to develop.

Now, having to speak up for Itachi made Hiruzen Sarutobi feel very aggrieved.

Sarutobi hated the Uchiha clan even more now.

I regret not listening to Danzo's advice before.

If they had listened to Danzo earlier, there wouldn't be any Uchiha clan in Konoha.
"I'm doing all this for the stability of the village!" Sarutobi sighed inwardly.

Upon hearing what Sarutobi said, the crowd erupted in uproar.

Then, you can hear a lot of insults directed at Obito.

"Obito is a beast."

"What a bastard! I used to think he was a hero."

"That's too extreme. Obito is far too extreme."

"Suddenly I realize that it wasn't wrong of Elder Danzo to target the Uchiha clan when he was alive."

……

The crowd outside the Hokage Building was buzzing with discussion.

Kakashi also left Konoha Hospital and came to the Hokage Building.

Kakashi was also very surprised to learn that the Sarutobi clan had been wiped out.

There aren't many ninjas in the world with the power to wipe out the Sarutobi clan.

At least Kakashi doesn't have that power.

To wipe out the Sarutobi clan in a short period of time would be even more difficult.

Now that the Third Hokage has publicly stated that Obito destroyed the Sarutobi clan, Kakashi frowns.

"No, it can't be Obito," Kakashi thought to himself.

Kakashi believed in Obito.

The annihilation of the Sarutobi clan couldn't have been done by Obito.

But now, apart from Kakashi, probably no one in the village believes in Obito anymore.

Actually, this is the best possible outcome.

After it was revealed on the screen that Obito was the instigator of the Nine-Tails' rampage, the Uchiha clan removed Obito's name from their genealogy. In addition, the village also revoked the hero title given to Obito.

Now, it's impossible for Obito to return to Konoha.

By shifting some blame onto Obito, the stability of the village was ensured, which was certainly a good thing.

Although he was unhappy, Kakashi couldn't say anything.

……

Inside the Kamui dimension, Obito suddenly sneezed a few times.

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

What happened?
[As expected, the Sarutobi clan was wiped out, and the culprit was Obito Uchiha.]

Suddenly, someone in the group chat mentioned the annihilation of the Sarutobi clan.

Although Obito was in the Kamui dimension, he still saw it.

When he saw in the group chat that Obito had wiped out the Sarutobi clan, Obito was stunned.

Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi's silence in the group chat, does this mean the Sarutobi clan is truly not going to be wiped out?
Then, Obito's face darkened.

He didn't go and wipe out the Sarutobi clan.

So, he took the blame!

This made Obito very unhappy.

When Lin, a member of the group, heard that the Sarutobi clan had been wiped out and that Obito was the culprit, she was surprised and saddened. In Lin's opinion, Obito had made far too many mistakes.

Obito doesn't care about other people's opinions, but he can't help but care about Rin's.

Rin's rejection of Obito was unacceptable to him.

"So, who exactly wiped out the Sarutobi clan?" Obito asked angrily.

He wasn't angry that the Sarutobi clan was wiped out, but that the person who destroyed the Sarutobi clan was made to take the blame.

This infuriated Obito.

After being angry for a while, Obito calmed down and began to analyze the situation.

When Obito was young, he was a wise and sensible person. Now it's different. He may not be the smartest, but he's certainly not too stupid.

After calming down and analyzing the situation, Obito began to make some guesses.

If someone can be made to take the blame, then the person who wiped out the Sarutobi clan probably also has Sharingan, or even Mangekyou Sharingan.

Fugaku? Itachi? Neither is very likely.

Furthermore, it wasn't that Obito underestimated Fugaku and Itachi; Fugaku and Itachi's strength was still somewhat lacking.

So, could it be that Madara has been resurrected?
Or perhaps, Obito in the future? Madara in the future? The future...

If this is the future Obito, wouldn't you say he dug his own grave?

At this moment, Obito was considering whether or not to return to Konoha.

……

Ah Wei wasn't surprised either.

When the one-armed Sasuke and Boruto appeared in Konoha, it was to be expected that the village's higher-ups, such as Hiruzen Sarutobi, would make some compromises.

Ultimately, it all comes down to ability.

In front of Sasuke, who was at the Six Paths level, it was nothing.

Right now, Konoha doesn't have a Six Paths level Naruto to restrain Sasuke.

If you anger Sasuke, the village is doomed.

Besides, it really wasn't Itachi who wiped out the Sarutobi clan.

If you investigate carefully, it's not hard to find some things that can at least prove Itachi's innocence.

If it weren't for the appearance of one-armed Sasuke and Boruto, Hiruzen Sarutobi definitely wouldn't have let Itachi go.

Even if they knew it wasn't Itachi who wiped out the Sarutobi clan, they would still eliminate Itachi.

In Hiruzen Sarutobi's current view, annihilating the Uchiha clan is the most correct thing to do. Although it was said on the screen that Itachi had annihilated the Uchiha clan, the possibility of Itachi actually annihilating the Uchiha clan in the present is not high.

As for eliminating Itachi, it would not only weaken the Uchiha clan's power but also provoke them, driving them to extremes and making it easier to wipe them out.

It can be said that Hiruzen Sarutobi had many considerations in mind.

However, the appearance of one-armed Sasuke and Boruto disrupted Sarutobi's plans.

Although he was unwilling, Sarutobi eventually accepted reality.

As long as the one-armed Sasuke is in Konoha, some of Sarutobi's considerations will have to be put on hold for the time being.

"I wonder what Obito, who got blamed for this, will think when he finds out." Awei suddenly felt a surge of amusement.

The group chat was discussing how Obito wiped out the Sarutobi clan. If Obito were to look at the light screen, he would be able to see the chat in the group and then he would know that he had been framed.

Given Obito's personality, it's certain he'd get angry.

As for what Obito will do, that remains to be seen.

The village will not be able to calm down anytime soon.

The annihilation of the Sarutobi clan, coupled with the name of Obito Uchiha, was enough to make Konoha uneasy.

Ah Wei just watched the show.

"Although I wiped out the Sarutobi clan, I did a good thing for Konoha," Awei thought to himself.

The Sarutobi clan are like parasites that thrive on the great tree of Konoha, drawing sustenance from it.

After Konoha was established, the Sarutobi clan joined the village. At the time, they were not a large clan, yet they developed into the village with the most ninjas, which is quite intriguing.

Keep in mind that Konoha has only been established for a few decades.

As for the Sarutobi clan having the most ninjas, there is little controversy about that. Not only is it the clan with the most ninjas in Konoha, but it is also the clan with the most ninjas in the entire ninja world!

The Sarutobi clan had many ninjas, so wiping out the Sarutobi clan would significantly weaken Konoha's fighting strength.

In terms of strength, Konoha is probably no longer the strongest among the five great ninja villages.

If the Fourth Shinobi World War breaks out in a short period of time, Konoha will be in serious trouble.

Konoha was always targeted during every Shinobi World War.

After all, Konoha is too strong.

Because Konoha is so strong, it poses a great threat to the other ninja villages.

……

Hyuga clan.

Hiashi Hyuga returned home.

Then, the Hyuga clan held a meeting.

On that day, the clan meeting was held, and all the adults from the main family were present, along with a few members from other branches of the family.

The number of people in the branch family is much larger than that in the main family, but not many of them are qualified to attend the clan meeting.

At every clan meeting, there are always more people from the main branch of the family.

Despite the large number of members and strength of the branch family, the main family remains the one in charge of the Hyuga clan due to the restrictions imposed by the Caged Bird Seal.

"What? Sasuke from Boruto, and Boruto Uzumaki, have traveled from the future?" Everyone was astonished.

Riji nodded.

The Japanese team is also better informed.

The Japanese team's feelings were rather complicated, and they were also a bit excited.

Boruto is, after all, Hiashi's grandson.

Hinata is still a child, younger than Boruto.

Therefore, Hiashi didn't know how to deal with his suddenly appearing grandson.

Overall, the Japanese team was mostly happy.

Boruto is currently at Naruto's house, with members of the Hyuga clan nearby protecting him (keeping an eye on him), and Hiashi can go check on him at any time.

As for holding a clan meeting, it would naturally be to discuss the future of the Hyuga clan.

With the Sarutobi clan wiped out, the village's landscape underwent a dramatic change.

In this situation, Hinata must be cautious about his next move.

The situation in the village is now quite delicate.

When news of the Sarutobi clan's annihilation reached the clan, some members of the Hyuga clan were overjoyed.

With the Sarutobi clan gone, a huge vacuum of interests has emerged in the village, which is a great opportunity for the Hyuga clan. It would be a shame not to seize it.

However, even after the Sarutobi clan was gone, the village was not just home to the Hyuga clan; there were other families as well.

The Uchiha clan was marginalized, which was bad enough, but the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, as well as the Aburame and Mitokado clans, still wielded considerable influence in the village.

Japan is also weighing its options.

In fact, in Hiashi's opinion, the Hyuga clan should keep a low profile.

Even if huge profits are presented to you, you must not be greedy.

His gaze swept over his clansmen, and Hiashi sighed inwardly.

There are some things Rizu can't say, but there are still some people in the tribe who understand.
