"Very good." Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Now, we just need to patiently wait for Lord Madara's instructions."

……

……

Konoha South Street, Mugetsu's residence.

"Really? So, they're fully prepared?" Listening to Yui's report, Wuyue gently rubbed her chin. "Truly, a bunch of clowns." A hint of disdain appeared on her face.

In his view, the Uchiha clan's meticulously planned rebellion was nothing more than children's play. Not only was it riddled with flaws, but even their plans and doctrines were incredibly naive.

Putting everything else aside, the very concept of "escape" should dictate that it be conducted quietly and secretly. Is their elaborate, clandestine escape, intended to deceive everyone, just a joke?

"Driven by power and tempted by profit, people always lose some of their intelligence," Yui said calmly. "But it's truly pathetic that using this kind of empty promise to satisfy hunger turns one into a tool in the hands of others."

"Yes, it is indeed very tragic." Wuyue nodded in agreement and smiled, "But it's for the best, as it resolves a hidden danger within the village. However, there's one thing I find strange: using one's own clan as a bargaining chip. What exactly does the person behind this want?"

"Instigate internal strife in our village, and then seize the opportunity to invade?" Saori said after a moment of contemplation.

“That’s highly unlikely.” Rina shook her head, clearly disagreeing with the statement. “If that guy knows Konoha so well, he should know that invasion is a joke. More than that, I suspect they are eager to achieve some goal, or rather, they want to obtain something.”

Something?

Wu Yue was startled, as if 073 had thought of something. Could it be that?

“No matter what his purpose is, he is destined to fail.” Yui said with a rare firmness, “I will make him taste the real bitter fruit.”

After all, she was a member of the Uchiha clan. That mastermind actually used his own clansman as a pawn. That alone is unforgivable!

“That’s right.” Wuyue sneered, “If you want to cause trouble in Konoha, you should at least consider whether you’re qualified. According to the original plan, Rina and Saori will deploy troops along the Uchiha clan’s attack route. Yui, you’re in charge of meeting Shisui. As for the guy behind it all, leave that to me…”

"Yes!" Yui, Rina, and Saori had just responded when Yugito rushed in from outside. "Master, Master... Lady Kushina... she's going into labor!"

"What?"

Wu Yue froze on the spot.

367 Each has their own calculations

"W-how long has it been? Why isn't she coming out yet?!" In front of Miyu's residence, Muzuki paced back and forth in a panic, asking Yukito beside her from time to time.

“In fact, it’s only been twenty minutes, my master.” Yugito took a deep breath and said, “Please be patient.”

"No, I can't hold back at all." Wu Yue shook his head and said, "This is, after all, my child. My child!" Having lived two lives, this was his first time being a father, and the feeling was truly subtle.

"Yes, yes, of course we know it's your child." Samui sighed and said, "But, with Lady Miyu and Lady Tsunade helping inside, there's no way something could go wrong."

"That's true, really." Wuyue took several deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. "However, I just can't calm the restlessness in my heart. Especially when Konoha is in trouble. What bad timing."

"Is Master worried that someone might launch a surprise attack here?" Samui suddenly realized the crux of the matter and said blankly, "How could that be? In the entire ninja world, who would dare to do such a thing?"

"I'm afraid of what might happen, damn it!" Wuyue had lost her usual composure and raised her hands.

Wood Release: Wood Clone!

Swish swish.

Four identical Wuyue appeared in everyone's sight, and they circled the entire residence, their hands forming a mudra simultaneously.

Barrier: Four Red Yang Formation

"Hey, is it really necessary to be so dramatic?" Nearby, a member of the ANBU who witnessed this scene twitched at the corner of his mouth.

"This is the Four Crimson Sun Formation? A barrier technique more than ten times stronger than the Four Purple Flame Formation, which can trap a Kage-level expert?" another ANBU member exclaimed in disbelief. "This could even be used to protect a country."

"As expected of the Hokage."

"Wait, look what's that?"

The members of the Dark Guard turned their heads to look. They saw that after Wuyue's four wooden clones used the Four Crimson Yang Formation, their hands did not stop, and they kept forming hand seals.

Crystal Escape·Crystal Array Wall[……丿

Ice Release: Pillar of Ice!

Lava Release: Heavenly Fire Prison!

Rumble.

Four red crystals rose from the ground, forming walls that surrounded the Four Crimson Sun Array. Then, countless pillars of ice completely enveloped their surfaces. Following this, scorching hot lava flowed, creating a massive chasm that loomed around the entire dwelling.

"This, this..."

"Is this the power of the Leaf Village's Celestial Dragons?"

"No, it's more accurate to call it divine power rather than strength."

Everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned. Samui and Yuki were no exception, but amidst their shock, they felt an unprecedented envy. This boy, to protect his woman and child, had gone to such lengths; what girl wouldn't be moved by such a grand gesture?

……

……

Meanwhile, in a dark corner of the Uchiha clan's stronghold.

"Is it about to begin?" A half-black, half-white figure slowly emerged from the ground, asking in a hoarse voice. "As expected, Konoha has prepared a perfect countermeasure. I'm afraid few of your clansmen will survive."

"It doesn't matter, they're just pawns after all." Across from him, Obito Uchiha, shrouded in a black robe, raised his head and said slowly, "As long as we achieve our goal, even if we're wiped out, it won't have any impact."

"What a heartless fellow," Zetsu said, his words carrying a hint of sarcasm.

But Obito wasn't angry about it, or rather, he was no longer bothered by such trivial matters. "Compared to this, what about the Konoha Celestial Dragons?"

"His child with Kushina Uzumaki is about to be born, so he has no time to pay attention to this place," Zetsu said with a smirk.

“Is that so?” Obito nodded and said, “It’s quite ironic, really. Fugaku Uchiha’s wife is about to give birth too. And in her belly is also a child of the setting sun and the moonless night.”

"He probably doesn't even know about this yet," Jue said calmly, narrowing his eyes. "How interesting."

"I'll bring Pain over later." Obito exhaled a breath of stale air and said, "I'm afraid I can't get that with my own strength alone."

“I see. If it were just the two of you, the chances of winning would indeed be much higher.” Jue nodded and said, “But even so… the plan could still fail.”

"No matter what, we have to give it our all, right?" Obito cracked his neck and said, "The plan has progressed this far, and there's no turning back now."

“That’s true, there’s really no way to back down.” Jue was taken aback at first, then nodded. “In that case, let Bai Jue lend you a hand.”

Without saying a word, Obito simply nodded and led White Zetsu out of the room.

Black Zetsu, who remained where he was, merely glanced at his retreating figure and sneered, "Foolish fellow. In my eyes, you're just a pawn too. How pathetic."

Then, she turned her gaze to another door in the room, her tone suddenly becoming gentle and cautious. "Mother, soon... you will be reborn. I will make this world return everything to you."

368 debuts

The pitch-black night, a curtain of ink-like darkness, enveloped the entire sky.

Several figures flashed over at an extremely fast speed at the entrance of the Hokage's office building.

"There seems to be some movement over there?"

"who?"

As a core, confidential location within Konoha, it is guarded even at night.

"It's me, Sada." A voice rang out, and then a man dressed in black emerged from the darkness.

“Uchiha Ryuta?” One of the guards clearly recognized the newcomer, and his tone relaxed slightly. “What are you doing here? This isn’t the time for changing shifts.”

“Ah, I know.” The Uchiha member named Ryuta nodded and smiled, “I just came to take a look, and by the way…” Before he could finish speaking, the tomoe in his scarlet pupils suddenly began to spin.

In an instant, the two guards froze, then collapsed to the ground with a thud.

After doing all this, Ryuta waved 047, and dozens of Uchiha members behind him filed in and entered the passageway to the Hokage's office.

"Did it succeed?" Hundreds of meters away, Fugaku Uchiha, dressed in military uniform, stood with his arms crossed, watching the commotion.

“The secret infiltration is complete.” Shisui nodded calmly beside him. “Next, as long as we set the office building on fire as planned, we can escape in the chaos.”

Hu Chi.

Just as he finished speaking, a ball of fire suddenly shot into the sky, and flames roared up on the roof of the Hokage's office building.

"It seems we've succeeded." Shisui breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this and said, "Then, we should begin our actions as well."

“No need to rush.” Fugaku raised an eyebrow and said, “I have a feeling that something is not right.”

It went so smoothly! So smoothly that it's hard to believe it's real!

"kill!"

"Kill these traitors!"

"Don't let a single one escape!"

Sure enough, before long, shouts of battle erupted throughout Konoha Village. Torches, lit one after another, quickly blazed like sparks.

"Ambushed?" Even now, Fugaku remained calm. With a wave of his hand, he said, "Break through the right gate quickly, don't linger."

His entourage, who had gathered around him, immediately understood and rushed to the right.

Rumble.

But at that moment, a series of loud explosions rang out, and huge fireballs, trailing long tails, hurtled towards them.

"Oh no!" "Enemy attack!" "Protect the clan chief!"

These people, worthy of being Uchiha elites, immediately organized a tight Earth Release defense, blocking all the fireballs. But before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, a dazzling blade of light suddenly appeared.

Swish.

Wherever the blade flashed, these Uchiha members didn't even have time to dodge before their bodies were split in two.

"Rina Sawashiro?" Fugaku Uchiha frowned as he looked at the girl who had appeared before him. "So, you guys found out beforehand?"

“Running away is pointless, Uchiha clan head,” Saori said, emerging from another alleyway. “And everyone else, are you sure you want to betray Konoha?”

Shhhhhh.

As soon as she finished speaking, countless figures flashed by. Nearly twenty members of the Anbu surrounded Fugaku and his group.

This……

The Uchiha members were clearly unprepared for this situation and were immediately shocked. Even those who were wavering showed expressions of regret.

"At this point, what nonsense are you spouting?" Fugaku Uchiha knew very well that he couldn't afford to be weak at this moment, and his attitude was extremely firm. "There's no place for us here anymore, and we're simply looking for another way out."
