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

Chapter 50 S-Rank Rogue Ninja, Enters Akatsuki

"As you instructed, I only examined their memories from the five minutes before they died. Without a doubt, they all died at the hands of a mysterious person resembling Fujiwara Chiya. Furthermore, during my analysis, I saw the mysterious person use a ninjutsu similar to Kakashi's Lightning Release: Chidori. I assert that the one who used these two ninjutsu was very likely just a shadow clone."

As he spoke, Yamanaka Inoichi played footage of Chiya's shadow clone using Chidori Sharp Spear and Chidori Thousand Sticks to slaughter dozens of Sarutobi clan ninjas.

Watching the scene in the video, which looked like cutting melons and vegetables, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo fell silent, their expressions growing increasingly solemn.

"Inoichi, collect and seal these images. I will send someone to retrieve the bodies of Shinnosuke and the others later. From this day forward, classify this as Konoha's top secret. No one is allowed to view it without my order." Hiruzen Sarutobi got up from his bed and addressed Inoichi Yamanaka.

"Yes." Yamanaka Inoichi replied respectfully, packed up the equipment, and disappeared from the room.

The curtains were drawn, and the room was lit again. Danzo said from the side, "Hiruzen, Fujiwara Chiya learned Chidori from Kakashi. With that kid's ninjutsu talent, it's not surprising that he spent a year fully mastering Chidori. All signs point to Chiya. In my opinion, that kid is definitely faking his death. Otherwise, why would his body disappear into thin air? Just give the order."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not give a direct answer.

He has always been weak and powerless in dealing with external threats, but he always hesitates at crucial moments when he is determined to strike hard at home.

He was not blinded by hatred.

Because regardless of whether it was Senya who slaughtered his entire family, it had already far exceeded the control of him, the strongest Hokage in history.

Given the strength that person displayed, even if he sent a annihilation force to conquer him.

Even if we could catch up, it would just be like delivering food to someone else.

After all, Konoha had already lost the Uchiha clan and the Sarutobi clan, and also the Shimura clan.

It simply can't withstand any more setbacks.

If his wrong choice leads to another heavy loss for Konoha...

That would be a loss rather than a gain.

At that time, will he still be able to hold onto his position as Hokage?

After much deliberation, Hiruzen Sarutobi offered what he considered a safe plan: "Pass down the word that Fujiwara Chiya is suspected of murdering the Sarutobi and Shimura clans, and effective immediately, she and Itachi Uchiha are classified as S-rank rogue ninjas."

"Are we just going to let that kid get away with this?" Danzo asked, his eyes bloodshot and his heart filled with resentment.

"What else do you want?" Hiruzen Sarutobi revealed his true nature of being a bully only to his own kind, and said sternly, "Putting aside the fact that Fujiwara Chiya died in front of everyone, even if that murderer really was him, where are you going to find him? And even if you find him, how will you capture him? He was able to kill all of my clansmen in such a short time all by himself. If I send you, can you catch him?"

Upon hearing this, Danzo's tone immediately softened.

No matter how unwilling he was to admit it, the strength displayed by that mysterious person had indeed far exceeded what ordinary ninjas could handle.

Unless you use sheer numbers and sacrifice lives, there's really no way to catch them.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said impatiently, "Alright, this matter must be dealt with slowly."

Even if I don't say it, you probably already know about the situation in Konoha.

The most important thing right now is to stabilize the overall situation, and I will still announce your punishment tomorrow.

If you truly care about the village, you should accept the punishment without hesitation.

As for other matters, don't get too involved.

Regarding Fujiwara Chiya's matter, I will secretly send someone to follow up.

He planned to spend a huge sum of money, at any cost, to issue a bounty on the underground exchange, determined to find Qianye and take revenge.

Regardless of whether Qianye is the murderer or not.

Live to see people, die to see corpses.

Even if he isn't, even if he really is dead, we must get his body and read from his mind who stole his mask and sword, so as to find out the real culprit who killed him, a member of the Sarutobi clan.

The Uchiha, Sarutobi, and Shimura clans were wiped out.

Two S-rank rogue ninjas appeared in Konoha at the same time.

This is undoubtedly a bombshell.

Itachi Uchiha, an S-rank rogue ninja, whose crime was the massacre of the entire Uchiha clan.

Fujiwara Chiya, an S-rank rogue ninja, is suspected of massacring the Sarutobi and Shimura clans and murdering multiple members of Konoha's Anbu.

The release of the two wanted posters immediately alarmed all the ninjas and civilians in Konoha.

Itachi and his group could understand, given the suppression from the Konoha leadership and the influence of the Konoha Police Force system.

Almost everyone has little affection for the Uchiha clan.

They thought they were crazy.

Moreover, there is the survivor, Sasuke Uchiha, who serves as irrefutable evidence.

It's not surprising that they would commit such heinous acts as genocide.

But Fujiwara Chiya was strange.

Not only Kakashi and the other Anbu members who had seen 'Chiya's' body, but also most of the civilians in Konoha were unwilling to believe such a thing.

Let's set aside whether he has the strength to wipe out the Sarutobi clan, which is led by the Third Hokage, and the Shimura clan, which is led by Danzo.

Even if I did, I wouldn't have that motive.

To know.

In everyone's eyes, Chiya has always been an excellent ninja who is elegant, kind, polite, loves the village, and cherishes his comrades.

Before joining the Anbu, especially during his transition from Genin to Jonin, he was highly respected by the villagers.

Even veteran elite Jonin like Kakashi of Konoha highly praised him.

It's unbelievable that he's suddenly become an S-rank rogue ninja.

Of course, this is only temporary.

According to the public opinion tactics of Konoha F4.

Before long, more than 99 percent of the people in Konoha will hate Chiya.

If they say you're in trouble, then you're in trouble.

They can even turn white into black.

Not to mention that it was originally black.

Hiruzen Sarutobi issued a bounty on Chiya, classifying him as an S-rank rogue ninja.

Chiya was unaware of this.

Even if I knew, I wouldn't care.

Because at this moment, he had already followed Obito to the Akatsuki headquarters, the Land of Rain.

This is a country where it rains for at least half the year.

It is also the most tragic country in Naruto.

A territory reserved for war.

It is located at the intersection of the Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Earth.

Caught between three countries.

It suffered greatly from war.

Chiya, Obito, and Itachi Uchiha arrived at Amegakure in a small boat.

Perhaps it's because they knew guests were coming today.

Nagato did not use the Rain Tiger Free Technique.

Qianye was also glad that she didn't have to get soaked.

Following Obito, Chiyo and Itachi Uchiha boarded a small boat and sailed downstream along the river.

"In the organization, everyone calls me Afei. I'm not a formal member; I'm just a trainee with no real skills. You'll need to be careful about how you treat me from now on."

At this moment, Obito Uchiha had cut his hair short, and his mask had changed from the original tiger stripes to a swirling orange mask.

He stood at the bow of the boat, arms crossed, and addressed the two men.
