The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

The fact that underground locations are difficult to detect and, under normal circumstances, no one would pay attention to them, doesn't mean they are untraceable; the chakra energy within them is undetectable. It simply means that, compared to above ground, the detection distance and clarity are limited.

However, with specialized tracking personnel, it is still possible to track people underground.

When using sensory ninjutsu to specifically sense the ground, it's hard to say how far it can go, but it can definitely sense up to fifty meters.

It created a shadow clone, which ran in another direction, leaving behind a fairly obvious trace.

He then descended another hundred meters or so, inching his way in a certain direction.

By the time the Root ninja realized they had chased the wrong person, the clone had already arrived at the Naka River, entered the river, and switched to water-based techniques.

After swimming for a while and confirming that the scent was no longer able to track him, he came out of the river and quietly returned to the Uchiha Kiyoshi family... or rather, his own home.

When the clone created shadow clones to lure the Root ninjas, the Hokage and his group had already arrived at the scene.

Looking at the towering earthen prison, the Hokage had a very bad feeling.

Danzo realized he was in trouble when he saw so many clan leaders and the Hokage arrive together.

Damn it!

I don't even know who they're cursing.

"Danzo! Do you confess your crimes?!"

Upon seeing Danzo, Uchiha Kai was the first to lose his temper.

While the other clan leaders also hated Danzo to the core, the missing ninjas on their side were not the most core group. The Uchiha clan was a different story.

Uchiha Kiyoka was a genius who reached the three-tomoe stage at the age of thirteen!

Given the formidable strength of the Uchiha clan, they were not afraid of Danzo and directly questioned him.

To die because one's own village's ninjas have revealed one's whereabouts is the most frustrating thing.

Uchiha was truly enraged this time.

The third generation must have known about Danzo's actions; his failure to stop him makes him the biggest accomplice!

If you don't give me an explanation today, then I'll make this a big deal!

Last time, Nawaki of the Senju clan was forced to his death by Danzo. If this incident escalates, the effect might be less significant.

Even if the Senju clan has a lot of public support, Nawaki's own fame is still too small.

Unlike Uchiha Kiyoshi, who made significant contributions in the recent war with the Land of Wind, Uchiha Kiyoshi's contributions were immense.

The name of the Blood-Eyed Asura has spread throughout the ninja world!

Not to mention, on the front lines, Uchiha Kiyoshi and Hatake Sakumo saved many Konoha ninjas while hunting down the Sand Village puppet squad!

It can be said that Uchiha Kiyoshi had a considerable reputation on the front lines, and it was a positive one at that.

Perhaps some people can see that there is something fishy about Uchiha Kiyoshi's death, but these people are ultimately a minority, and even if they guess it, they won't say it carelessly.

"Ugh!"

The Third Hokage could no longer help even if he wanted to, and could only sigh helplessly.

"What crime have I committed? I was just staying in the Root tribe when it was attacked. Why did Chief Jie immediately accuse me as soon as he arrived?"

Danzo looked completely bewildered, indicating that he didn't understand what Uchiha Suke was saying.

"Furthermore, Chief Jie, such a big thing happened here, and instead of being curious about other things, you come up here and start criticizing me."

Could it be that Chief Jie already knew what was about to happen?

Danzo, that shameless man, not only pretended not to know anything, but also turned around and accused others!

Uchiha Suke was so angry that he trembled all over.

"How is that possible!"

Don't you know why I was so quick to criticize you?

hateful!

Just then, Nara Teru, an elder of the Nara clan, spoke up.

The Nara clan chief is at the front lines; the affairs of the Nara clan are now being handled by him as an elder.

The Uchiha clan is now on their side, so they can't just watch him get talked out of by Danzo.

"Danzo, now that you mention it, we're curious. What's inside this earthen prison technique? It shouldn't be the Root's base, right?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the actual root base.

The Nara clan are all quite intelligent, and Nara Teru has now determined that the culprit was targeting Root.

If that's the case, then why didn't he attack the root itself, but instead used the Earth Prison Technique to enclose the area around the root?

Nara Teru already had an answer in his mind, but he wasn't sure yet.

Danzo's face darkened upon hearing Nara Teru's words.

They lifted a stone only to drop it on their own foot.

Now these clan leaders are starting to take an interest in what's happening inside the dungeon.

Moreover, judging from Nara Teru's expression, he has probably already guessed what it is!

Damn it, I can't fool them anymore.

The earthen cell wasn't sealed off, so there was no need to break it open to find out what was inside.

Nara Teru leaped with all his might, landing on top of the earthen prison.

"hiss!

many!"

The situation inside was just as he had imagined; it was a place for training new recruits at the grassroots level.

And inside are the new recruits who are currently undergoing training.

There seem to be a lot of them!

It was packed with people.

A rough estimate suggests there are five or six hundred people!

Of course, there were a few Root ninjas among them, but not many.

Are these all newcomers from the root?

Is it because we need to hire more people recently, or has it always been like this?

Based on the information provided by the mysterious person, Nara Teru felt that the latter was more likely!

OMG!

They didn't know exactly how many ninjas Root had, but they had a general idea.

With so many new recruits trained each time, only a small number become official Root ninjas. What happens to the rest?

Is he dead?

Following closely behind, the other family patriarchs also jumped up and saw the scene inside, immediately eliciting a chorus of gasps of astonishment.

"Danzo, what have you done!"

Even the Third Hokage couldn't help but rebuke him.

He simply couldn't imagine that the training at the root was so brutal.

Putting aside the miserable conditions of the people involved, the elimination rate alone is terrifying.

The third generation always knew that Root's elimination strategy was cruel, but they didn't know it was this cruel.

At this moment, the clan leaders also found some of their clan's missing ninjas among the many faces below.

Of course, there were still fewer people.

As for where these people went, isn't it obvious?

They were eliminated because they didn't pass the training.

Elimination means death!

Danzo!

Danzo felt immense pressure as he listened to the mournful cries of the many clan leaders.

However, he still said it without any concern.

"What's wrong now?"

They are sacrificing for Konoha!

For a village to grow and prosper, it needs more than just ninjas living in the sunlight; it also needs the Root organization hidden in the shadows to eradicate all threats to the village!

"Otherwise, how do you think the village has maintained peace for so long?"

Danzo firmly believed in his own system, and at this moment he fell into a state of madness.

At that moment, he must have felt radiant and magnificent!

"Danzo! Your idea is too dangerous!"

The peace of the village does not need the sacrifice of so many innocent people!

"Hiruzen, you're still too merciful!"

If you ask me, we should be more decisive in our actions, then no one will dare to criticize the Hokage.

What kind of attitude is this?

Is this an attempt to coerce the Hokage?

Are you going there to start a rebellion?

Danzo is truly shameless!

"Danzo! You!"

All the family leaders present were extremely angry upon hearing Danzo's words.

But there was no way to refute it.
