The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 299 The Disintegration of Konoha Village (The End)

"Damn it, someone needs to organize the team!"

Itachi looked around anxiously and shouted, "Where is Lord Kazuma?"

"Where is Master Mizuki?"

"What about those Jonin from the ninja clans?"

"Why don't they step forward and organize everyone to defend themselves?"

Everyone looked at each other, unsure how to answer.

"At the beginning, I even heard Lord Mizuki giving orders to organize the defense."

"But then the defenses inexplicably collapsed, and the whole village was thrown into chaos. We never heard Mizuki-sama's voice again."

"Could it be that Lord Mizuki... has unfortunately perished?"

Although he was mentally prepared for this, Itachi's heart still clenched violently upon hearing the news.

Since the death of the third generation, Mizuki has been the friendliest person to him, and unlike Lord Kazuma, whose friendliness was full of ulterior motives.

Shuimu has always given to him without ever asking for anything in return.

It was precisely because of this "pure" help that Mizuki was able to successfully enter Itachi's closed and lifeless heart, become Itachi's friend, and even become a bond in Itachi's heart.

But now, that bond is about to be broken.

How could Itachi not feel pain in his heart?

In particular, Itachi knew very well that he himself was the culprit behind all these terrible consequences.

This clear understanding made Itachi's heart feel as if it were being repeatedly stabbed with a knife, causing him unbearable pain.

He silently lowered his head, and the aura of death emanating from him intensified.

After a brief silence, Itachi mustered his spirits and asked in a low voice, "So, where is Lord Kazuma?"

"Did he also tragically perish?"

"This—" Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. "We don't know. We haven't seen Lord Ma since the start of the chaotic battle."

Perhaps unable to withstand being talked about, as soon as they mentioned Lord Ma, someone in the distance immediately cried out in surprise.

"Lord Kazuma, where are you going?"

Itachi was startled by the sound, and hurriedly activated Susanoo again, standing tall and looking into the distance.

This sight nearly made Itachi explode with rage.

A carriage was seen fleeing rapidly out of the village, protected by several ninjas on all sides, with Kazuma leading the way.

Without even asking, Itachi immediately knew who was in the carriage.

The person who could be personally escorted by Lord Kazuma, and who could mobilize so many ninjas to protect him during such a turbulent time, must be Lord Utani, the highest authority in the village, who has always been hiding behind the scenes enjoying the benefits but never showing his face.

At this critical moment for the village, instead of fighting back, these guys actually—wanted to run away!

Itachi wasn't the only one who realized this; immediately, someone angrily pointed at Kazuma and the others and cried out.

"Oh no! Lord Xugu is running away!"

"Lord Xugu has abandoned the village!"

"Lord Kazuma and the others also protected Lord Kyotani and ran away!"

"Those guardian ninja from the Land of Fire all ran away with them!"

No one knew who shouted those words, but it seemed as if the voice was imbued with sonic ninjutsu, making it louder than a megaphone. Even amidst the deafening battle cries, the sound could be heard clearly by everyone.

This caused an uproar among the villagers who were still fighting.

"What?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"We're still fighting here, how could their leaders run away?"

"The higher-ups probably felt that Konoha couldn't be defended, so they decided to give up, right?"

"Then, what should we do?"

The rampage of dozens of "Satoru" in Konoha Village had already put immense pressure on all the ninjas. The escape of the higher-ups was the final straw that broke the camel's back, and morale quickly collapsed completely.

"No, I can't foolishly risk my life here. My family is waiting for me to go back. I can't die here!"

"This Konoha Village doesn't belong to my family. Let whoever wants to guard it guard it, I'm not going to."

"What's the point of defending Konoha like this? Let's all go our separate ways!"

"Those monsters are powerful, but their numbers are limited. Only a handful of people can be killed. Let's see who can run the fastest!"

It's unclear from which side it started, but someone was the first to abandon the defense of the position and flee out of Konoha Village.

Before long, panic spread like a plague throughout the village, and everyone gave up resisting, only wanting to run away.

They didn't expect to run faster than the "Wu"s; they just wanted to run faster than their companions in the other villages.

Watching the people running around like sheep, Nara Shikasuke sighed deeply, his face full of pain, but he had no choice but to make the final decision.

"Alas, the situation is hopeless. Inform the other two tribes to begin the evacuation plan!"

Compared to ordinary ninja clans, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio were much calmer. They quickly gathered their clansmen and then began an orderly retreat from the village with minimal entourage.

The ordinary ninjas, witnessing their actions, became even more desperate, and under immense pressure, many of them completely succumbed to madness.

"No!"

The weasel, his face as pale as paper, frantically tried to stop the avalanche and prevent the fleeing people from escaping.

"This is Konoha Village!"

"This is our home!"

"We can't run away!"

"Where can we go if we leave here?"

"No! No way!"

But no matter how Itachi shouted, begged, or threatened, those who had completely lost their morale turned a deaf ear and just ran out with their heads down.

Anyone who dares to stand in their way will be met with a bloodshot slash, even former comrades who were once as close as brothers.

"ah----"

Screams echoed throughout the village, but only a portion of them were caused by the killings of those "enlightened" individuals; the majority came from the villagers' self-destruction and fighting.

After yet another ninja appeared, frantically swinging his sword at Susanoo, Itachi finally had to admit that Konoha Village—

Finished!

"No----"

"No----"

"No! No way!"

Blood and tears streamed from the weasel's eyes as he stood alone in the middle of the village road.

Susanoo remained as tall and mighty as ever, unmatched in strength. All the "Satori" dared only hover at a distance, not daring to approach.

But faced with the horde of fleeing ninjas and villagers, Itachi was completely helpless and had no idea what to do.

We can't fight them, and we can't kill them.

When people's hearts are broken, force is utterly useless.

He could do nothing but wail and watch as everyone in Konoha Village fled in a frenzy, handing over the entire village to those monsters called "Satori".

Konoha Village — completely finished!
