Chapter 96: December , th Year of Konoha (Part )

In the Hokage's office, the six captains of the security department stood at attention.

"Salute to Lord Hokage!" Uchiha Douguang said, raising his right hand.

"Loyalty! Honesty!" The six captains of the security department shouted and saluted in unison.

"The ceremony is over!" Uchiha Toguchi put down his hands and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Captain Douguang, you are very busy tonight." The Sandaime's eyes narrowed, looking directly at Uchiha Douguang, "Even when you reported this matter to me, you used a shadow clone?"

"The matter is of great importance and we don't have time to report it in advance. Please forgive us, Hokage." Uchiha Douguang said.

At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku beside Uchiha Tokou also closed his eyes. When he opened them again, a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan appeared.

Seeing this scene, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was originally planning to take action, stopped abruptly.

"Another pair of Mangekyō Sharingan? You Uchiha are really good at hiding it." Sarutobi Hiruzen took out his pipe, filled it with tobacco, lit it, took a deep breath, and then spoke slowly.

After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the place where the Anbu who usually would be on duty in the Hokage's office were hiding, but he found that several Anbu who were supposed to be on duty in the Hokage's office had long disappeared.

"Sir Sandaime, we will wait here until you sign." Uchiha Douguang said.

……

In the office of the Assistant Hokage of Konoha Village, Jiraiya and Uchiha Tokou were facing each other across an office desk.

Jiraiya took a deep breath and asked, "Why? Why do you do this?"

"Why?" Uchiha Douguang said, "Of course, it's to ensure the purity of the village's will of fire."

"A coup d'état? Is this what you call the Will of Fire?" Jiraiya demanded. "You will lead this village into the abyss."

"Abyss?" Uchiha Douguang laughed wildly with his head raised when he heard this. Uchiha Douguang's wild laughter echoed in the sky above this office for a while.

"Lord Jiraiya, what did you get this from? Is it still the vague and ridiculous prophecy you learned from Mount Myoboku?" Uchiha Tokou said after he had laughed enough.

"Dou Guang, if you do this, the future of the world will fall into completely unknowable chaos!" Jiraiya shouted.

"So? Should I just sit back and watch the darkness of this world like you, doing nothing, waiting for the senseless peace bestowed by the son of prophecy that will appear at any time as said by the big toad?" Uchiha Douguang said.

Jiraiya wanted to explain himself, but Uchiha Tokou didn't give him a chance to speak.

"Toad Sage, Konoha's hero Jiraiya, that's hilarious," Uchiha Douguang said. "You've been nothing but a coward from the beginning. You've clearly seen the darkness of this world, but you've never had the courage to face reality. You've happily accepted the promises made by that old toad on Myoboku Mountain that even a three-year-old wouldn't fall for. The old toad's lies, which can no longer be made up, have frightened you to this point."

"In my eyes, you are as ridiculous as the idea of peace that you talk about, where people can understand each other. I didn't want to pay attention to you. Kakashi and I are both working towards true peace, but you just jumped out in front of me like a clown. Isn't it better for you to indulge in the dream woven for you by the old toad on Myoboku Mountain and entertain yourself?"

"You're running around the world like a stray dog. Whenever you see someone with a bit of talent, you start to instill your ridiculous dreams into them. Don't you realize you're constantly bringing misfortune to others? Whoever believes your lies today will be in dire straits tomorrow! And you'll never see the tragic death of the person you've fooled. You'll just shake your head and say they're not the person you predicted, and then go find the next unlucky person."

Jiraiya's face turned red and white at what Uchiha Tokou said. He wanted to refute, but at this moment, figures began to emerge unconsciously in his mind.

Yahiko, Nagato, Konan and Minato, all the people he once had high hopes for, seemed to have really died on the road to pursuing his ideals, just as Uchiha Tokou said.

"Am I really a bastard who brings misfortune? Did I kill them all?"

Jiraiya stared blankly at his own face, which had turned pale without him knowing when, reflected in Uchiha Toko's Mangekyō Sharingan, and thought to himself.

Uchiha Tokou's words undoubtedly tore everything apart and placed the bloody reality in front of Jiraiya, which directly broke Jiraiya's fragile psychological defenses.

"Jiraiya, have you made up your mind? Are you going to surrender and follow me back to the Security Department, or are you going to fight me here and let the innocent villagers around you be buried with your ridiculous prophecy?" After Uchiha Douguang finished speaking, the lightning surrounding his body began to gather and soon condensed into a sticky sea of ​​lightning.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya raised his head with difficulty and looked at Uchiha Tokou, his hands hanging down weakly, as if all his strength had been drained away.

Although the opponent has the Sage Mode and the Mangekyō Sharingan, Jiraiya does not think that the combination of himself and the two Gama Sages is completely powerless. However, if the two of them fight here, everything within a hundred meters will be destroyed.

[Do you really want to involve these innocent villagers? ]

Jiraiya turned his head and looked out the office window. Under the evening sunset, wisps of smoke rose from the surrounding houses.

Seeing this, Uchiha Douguang also withdrew the thunder around him and came to Jiraiya.

Uchiha Toguro formed seals with his hands and used the fairy chakra to cast a sealing technique to seal Jiraiya's chakra. During the whole process, Jiraiya did not resist at all.

"Let's go, Lord Jiraiya, don't try to unlock the seal by yourself. I think you should know very well what the consequences of natural energy rioting in your body are." After doing all this, Uchiha Douguang said expressionlessly.

After Jiraiya followed Uchiha Tokugawa out of the office, he looked up and found that the Anbu ninjas who were supposed to be guarding here were now standing with the security ninjas brought by Uchiha Tokugawa, looking at him coldly.

"Inahimi, Zaito, take him back to the security department and treat our Lord Jiraiya well. Try to satisfy any of his requests except releasing him." Uchiha Douguang instructed the two.

"Yes!" Uchiha Inahori and Uchiha Zaito nodded in acceptance.

Uchiha Douguang nodded, turned around and headed towards the Hokage Building.

"Hey! Dou Guang!" At this time, Jiraiya suddenly looked up and called out to Uchiha Dou Guang.

Uchiha Douguang stopped and looked back at the other party.

"You will... bring peace to this world, right?" Jiraiya's face had a very complicated expression, and there was even a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Uchiha Douguang smiled disdainfully: "That's natural, you just need to be a good audience."

……

Inside the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen watched the entire process of Jiraiya's arrest without a word. He raised his head, looked at the people in front of him, and wanted to say something, but Uchiha Tokugawa's shadow clone suddenly exploded in front of him. The next moment, Uchiha Tokugawa's real body pushed open the door, came to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and said, "Now, can you sign, Sandaime-sama?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyes and looked at Uchiha Douguang: "You are...killing first and asking for permission later."

Uchiha Douguang didn't say anything, but just looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a smile.

"If I don't sign, are you planning to use that eye technique?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice.

"Hokage-sama, why do you think I would use my trump card in a bet that I'm sure to win?" Uchiha Douguang said with a smile.

"Do you think you have won now?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly.

"Then... let's wait and see." Uchiha Douguang said with a smile.

……

In the Anbu's residence, Uchiha Itachi and Nara Shikaku were dealing with a mountain of documents, when an Anbu from the Yamanaka clan suddenly broke into the office.

"It's bad, Captain Itachi, Assistant Shikaku! For some unknown reason, the Security Department has issued a martial law order in the village!" Yamanaka Masahiko reported in a panic.

"What?" Uchiha Itachi and Nara Shikaku stood up and looked at each other with shocked expressions.

"What on earth happened? Why is there martial law again? What does the Security Department want to do?" Uchiha Itachi slammed the table hard and said angrily.

【Has this day finally come? 】

Nara Shikaku sighed inwardly, but remained calm and said, "Captain Itachi, the most urgent task now is to find out what exactly happened."

"That's right." Seeing this, Uchiha Itachi calmed down and walked out of the office with Nara Shikaku. However, after walking out of the office, Uchiha Itachi immediately froze in place.

At this point, under normal circumstances, there should be at least nearly a hundred ninjas on duty in the Anbu base, but now, except for those forty or so people, the entire Anbu base is empty.

"Where are the Anbu people?" Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but get furious when he saw this situation.

"Captain Itachi, the Security Department came to issue a coordinated mission this afternoon, and it seems that everyone else has gone to participate in the mission." A civilian staff member of the Sarutobi clan in the base came forward to report.

"What kind of mission does the Security Department have to mobilize so many Anbu to cooperate?" Uchiha Itachi said in disbelief, "Give me the list of people participating in the mission!"

Sarutobi Shinya quickly handed the list to Uchiha Itachi. When Uchiha Itachi took a look, he was surprised to see that all the members of the Isshinkai in the Anbu were on the list.

Moreover, the commanders of the two battalions and one squadron who were taken away did not come to report to him. If he had not seen the mission report, he would not even know that this had happened.

"Masahiko Yamanaka." Uchiha Itachi took a deep breath and turned to look at the Anbu who came to report the news.

"Here!" Yamanaka Masahiko hurried forward.

"Go to the Hokage Building and report the situation here to Lord Hokage." Uchiha Itachi took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

After Yamanaka Masahiko left, Nara Shikaku came to Uchiha Itachi and said, "Captain Itachi, the Security Department is very likely to be carrying out a coup."

"That's impossible. The coup of the Security Department has already begun." At this time, the door of the Anbu base was pushed open and Yamanaka Inoichi walked in.

"When the Security Department put the streets under martial law, I rushed here as soon as possible. It took some time to get here," Yamanaka Inoichi said. "However, on the way, I saw Lord Jiraiya being escorted to the Anbu by several members of the Security Department. Since the escorts were all members of the Uchiha clan, my abilities were restrained and I didn't act rashly."

"What? They have already attacked Lord Jiraiya?" Uchiha Itachi gritted his teeth.

Soon, Masahiko Yamanaka, who had just left, returned to the base with another Anbu member of the Utatane clan.

"Captain Itachi, the Hokage Building is now surrounded by the security team and the second battalion of Anbu." reported Utatane.

"Damn it! Is this their joint mission? They even dare to surround the Hokage Building?" Uchiha Itachi said angrily.

"Captain Itachi, calm down. Things haven't reached the worst point yet." Nara Shikaku patted Uchiha Itachi's shoulder and said, "Don't worry about the Hokage Building for now. They shouldn't dare to do anything to the Hokage. The most urgent thing now is to rescue Master Jiraiya."

"I understand," Uchiha Itachi nodded, looked at Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi, and asked, "How many people can we mobilize now?"

"Our three tribes have a total of 24 jonin and 75 chuunin who can completely obey your orders." Nara Shikaku said. This is already the strength that the three tribes can put on the table, and Nara Shikaku is ready to abandon this part of the strength, including himself.

"Can we assemble now?" asked Uchiha Itachi.

"Of course, I will contact Ding Zuo in the family right away." Yamanaka Hai nodded and used the radio to contact Akimichi Ding Zuo who stayed at the family today.

Not long after, Yamanaka Haiyi hung up the radio and said, "In 20 minutes at most, the troops of our three tribes will be assembled and arrive here."

"Okay, thank you very much." Uchiha Itachi nodded, then thought for a while, took the radio beside him, and called the captain of the second team, Moonlight Toru, who was also the only senior ninja in the Moonlight clan in the village.

In the office of Uchiha Toukou of the Security Department, the radio on Gekko Toru, who was staring at the sand table with Kakashi, began to beep.

Moonlight Toru took out the radio and after it was connected, the voice of Uchiha Itachi, who was suppressing his anger, came over: "Moonlight Toru! What are you doing?"

Seeing this, Gekko Toru quickly covered the receiving port of the radio and looked at everyone: "It's Uchiha Itachi."

"Let me answer it." At this time, the captain of the senior ninja squad, Yoshimura Ryoto, took the initiative to take over the radio.

"Hello? Is this Captain Uchiha Itachi?"

"Who are you?" After the office fell silent, everyone present could clearly hear Uchiha Itachi's voice.
