In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 32 For the sake of the village, the Uchiha clan has no choice but to suffer.

Hiruzen Sarutobi roughly guessed Danzo's intentions. "Danzo, don't do anything rash."

Upon hearing this, the other two Hokage advisors also couldn't help but look at Danzo with concern.

They knew all too well that Danzo was a man who never considered the consequences of his actions and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

Meeting the gazes of the three, Danzo smiled slyly, "Don't worry, what you're worried about is nothing more than the war between Konoha and the Uchiha clan, which would lead to a sharp decline in the village's overall strength. I have a way to completely eliminate this scourge of the Uchiha without losing a single soldier in the village."

Upon hearing the word "completely," both Hokage advisors frowned simultaneously, feeling a chill run down their spines at Danzo's ruthless methods. Then, thinking of the Uchiha clan's impending rebellion, they hardened their hearts once more.

Koharu sighed, "Since that's how it is, then so be it."

"What about Uchiha Izumi, who just graduated last year?" Mitokado Homura chimed in, "For the past year, Fujiwara Chiya has been monitoring the Uchiha clan and Uchiha Itachi for us."

Although the information provided was not significantly different from that of Itachi Uchiha, and Itachi Uchiha ultimately did not rebel against the village.

In retrospect, sending Chiya over there seemed somewhat unnecessary.

But his initial condition seemed to be to protect Uchiha Izumi.

"Absolutely not. According to intelligence, that girl has already awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan. If she awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan because of this Uchiha rebellion and then uses it to take revenge on Konoha, she will inevitably become another Uchiha Madara. The consequences would be unimaginable. For the sake of the village, we must nip this in the bud." Danzo vehemently rejected the idea.

"Then let's summon Chiya back," Hiruzen Sarutobi finally said.

Saying this is tantamount to indirectly agreeing with it.

"That's unnecessary."

Danzo's lips curled up slightly. Ever since Chiya became involved with the Uchiha clan, he had been on Root's blacklist.

He had no intention of letting Qianye live.

The same applies to Itachi Uchiha.

From beginning to end, these people were nothing more than his pawns.

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and said, "Danzo, don't do anything reckless. Chiya isn't an Uchiha; he's a pure inheritor of the Will of Fire."

"Of course I know he's a pure inheritor of the Will of Fire," Danzo said. "But have you considered that during the year that Chiya was infiltrating the Uchiha clan, he also learned far too much about the truth of the Uchiha?"

"I'm afraid the fact that the Uchiha clan is about to stage a coup will not be kept from him."

"Once he learns of Uchiha Izumi's death, he will inevitably harbor resentment towards the village and leak the truth."

"I'm sure you wouldn't want to see something like that happen."

"It's all for the village."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi fell silent once again.

Indeed, although Chiya loved the village and loved him, the "strongest Hokage of all time."

At the same time, he also loves Uchiha Izumi.

If Chiya hadn't been involved in the Uchiha affair, things would have been fine; they could have easily found a mission to send him away from the village.

Afterwards, he can simply be made to hate the 'murderer' who slaughtered the Uchiha clan.

Unfortunately, Qianye now knows too much.

A single hair can move the whole body.

Once he, the strongest Hokage of all time, breaks his promise.

It's inevitable that Qianye will have wild thoughts in the future.

By then, not only will their beliefs crumble.

Whether they will still respect him as the "strongest Hokage of all time" remains to be seen.

Even if he shifts the blame to Danzo, who can guarantee that Chiya won't be tricked by Danzo into turning against him?

After all, Kakashi was once fooled by Danzo.

Ugh.

What a pity.

I should have known better than to let that child get involved.

The reason he made him Kurenai's disciple was because he saw that his youngest son liked Kurenai. He had originally planned to have Chiya assist Sarutobi Asuma in the future.

Now it seems unlikely.

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi hardened his heart and said in a deep voice, "I will no longer concern myself with Chiya's affairs. But there is one point: do not smear that child. He, like his parents, is an inheritor of the Will of Fire and should be considered a hero."

"This is what Konoha owes him."

"Of course. Ninjas are meant to sacrifice themselves. He deserves this honor for the sake of the village."

Danzo Shimura gave a wicked smile and readily agreed. At that moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.

Before long, he will be able to acquire a large number of Sharingan.

It can also eliminate the inherently evil Uchiha clan.

There was nothing that made him happier than this.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed helplessly, muttering to himself in a voice only he could hear, "For the sake of the village, the Uchiha clan has no choice but to suffer. Chiya, don't blame me, it's all for the village."

Uchiha clan.

A very inconspicuous courtyard.

Space suddenly distorted, and a dark figure abruptly appeared from another dimension.

He wore an orange-red mask with black stripes over one eye, had long black hair resembling Madara Uchiha, wore a black robe, and had a light purple katana at his waist.

This is what Obito Uchiha looks like and is dressed in now.

He stood in front of the tree, thoughtfully picking up a piece of gravel. Suddenly, he sensed something behind him, casually put the gravel down, twisted the space in his right eye, and instantly disappeared from the courtyard with divine power.

"They're really cautious enough."

Shortly after Obito left, a figure wearing a smiling mask and dressed in ANBU attire slowly emerged from the rooftop. He removed the mask, revealing a handsome young face—it was Chiya.

This was the Nth time in the past year that he had sensed Obito's presence.

Three days later is the annual festival of the Uchiha clan, on which the Uchiha clan will launch a coup.

However, they will be wiped out by Itachi Uchiha the night before, which is tomorrow night.

He had originally planned to approach Obito to discuss joining the Akatsuki, but who knew that Obito was now extremely cautious.

They would run away at the slightest sign of trouble.

"Never mind, there will be plenty of opportunities later." With that thought in mind, Qianye disappeared into the courtyard in a flash.

Upon returning to Uchiha Izumi's residence, before even stepping into the courtyard, Chiya sensed an unsettling aura. He frowned, and in a flash, appeared in the courtyard. "Come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a sharp blade slicing through the air rang out, and four sharp kunai shot out from behind Chiya. Chiya swayed his body and easily dodged them.

Immediately afterward, a Root ninja dressed in ANBU uniform suddenly appeared in front of Chiyo, arrogantly declaring, "Fujiwara Chiyo, the leader..."

Before the Root ninja could finish speaking, a sapling suddenly sprouted from beneath his feet and instantly transformed into a gigantic ancient tree several meters tall.

Tie him up.
