Chapter 48
"I was just playing with him. I didn’t want him to die so soon. You don’t think that was my full strength, do you?"
"Haha, how could that be? Uchiha Madara-sama is at the top of the entire ninja world, one of the most powerful beings in history, who doesn't know that?"
The masked man heard the teasing in the girl's tone, but ignored it and just snorted.
"Speaking of which, that plan can finally be put into practice, right?"
Yonori nodded, took out a sealed scroll from the furisode of her kimono, and after unfolding it, a flare was launched directly into the sky.
A large orange word"escape" was formed in the night sky before dawn.
This was a plan that Uchiha Yono had arranged for the Uchiha clan before. The girl contacted important figures of Uchiha Moriyuki's faction in advance and told them that she had found a way out for the Uchiha clan in advance.
And they were responsible for conveying this news to those clansmen they could contact. In this way, it didn't take long before most of the Uchiha clan members were They learned that in addition to the coup plan codenamed"Jue" led by the clan leader tonight, there was also a backup plan codenamed"Takeoff", which was also an escape plan.
Although they didn't know who came up with this plan, they could vaguely guess that it was the work of Uchiha Moriyuki, an elder who was known as a conservative in the clan. If anyone was to blame, it should be Uchiha Fugaku, who didn't leave enough escape routes for everyone. Seeing that there was such a backup plan, most people were very happy. Of course, this also led to them not having Courage to fight to the death.
Although this limited their role in tonight's coup, it also avoided more casualties.
Therefore, although this battle directly or indirectly destroyed half of Konoha, although the ninjas on the side of the Konoha Hokage suffered heavy casualties, and most of the buildings were destroyed, but miraculously most of the Uchiha clan members survived to this day. At this time, they are gathering under the leadership of Uchiha Moriyuki, the clan elder and the number two figure of the Uchiha clan.
Prepare to execute the escape plan as soon as you receive the signal.
At this time, Uchiha At first, Hamamori Yuki didn't believe that his daughter, whom he always regarded as the apple of his eye, could formulate such a complicated and thorough plan, and had the power to implement it. It was not until the process of fighting and directing the coup tonight that he saw with his own eyes that Yotsuno used the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan to summon the Susanoo comparable to the gods to destroy a large number of houses.
After being shocked, he made up his mind to implement the battle plan that Yotsuno had explained long ago.
Looking at Itachi, who was exhausted from the continuous use of the Mangekyō power, the corner of the girl's mouth flashed a hint of sneer.
"You keep saying it's for peace, then let me show you how it feels like when your own eyes become the cause of a war, hahahahaha"......
Time went back to nearly 10 hours ago, in an abandoned shrine on the edge of Konoha Village.
The girl's voice was as sweet as a lark.
"......I will help you destroy Konoha, but there is a condition: you cannot attack the Uchiha clan."
Uchiha Obito just recovered from his surprise at this sentence, and he asked;
"I thought you were planning to launch a coup and seize power in Konoha, so you invited me to assist you."
"How come you, a ninja from Konoha, actually want to destroy it instead of taking it for yourself?"
"If you want to be Hokage, I can help you~"
Of course, Yang No didn't take his words seriously, she said lightly;
"Even if I don't destroy Konoha, Konoha will destroy my family sooner or later. Because this is a choice between 2 and 1, isn't it?"
"You have become the new generation of Hokage, how could anyone want to destroy your family?"
Yonori said,"You also noticed what I said just now. I didn't say that the Hokage wanted to destroy our Uchiha clan, but Konoha, this abstract, illusory, but actually existing overall will. To destroy us"
"Just because we seem out of place here, no matter the powerful force that can be obtained by opening the Mangekyo, or the huge power and wealth of our clan, they have become the thorn in the eyes of the collective will of countless ninjas in"Konoha""
"Even if our Uchiha clan becomes Hokage in Konoha for generations, the situation will not change, because this means that our Uchiha clan has been tied to the chariot of Konoha for generations, and we have to shed our last drop of blood in this place of four wars to protect this abstract concept."
"Konoha, it is a flower that often needs the blood of the strong or the big family to bloom. It is so tempting, it seems to be quietly blooming in the center of the continent, waiting for someone to pick it. It is also so greedy that it will never be satisfied until it sips the last drop of blood of the dry sacrifice."
"It's just like......"Uchiha Obito's eyes flashed with a hint of depth."Is it like the fate of the Senju clan?"
Yang No nodded.
"It's ironic, isn't it? I heard that the first Hokage's Wood Release Chakra was also so greedy, craving everything around him."
"Therefore, our enemy is not just the 3rd Hokage or Shimura Danzo. In fact, like my father, Sarutobi Hiruzen can only be regarded as a conservative in the village's decision-making level."
"Uchiha Fugaku miscalculated this point, thinking that as long as he controlled the Hokage and waited for him to become the Hokage, everything would be solved. Humph, it's not that easy! The problem with their family is that they always like to think things are too simple."
"So." Uchiha Obito's expression revealed a trace of thought."To you, the Uchiha clan is more important than Konoha Village?"
Yang No tasted the language trap hidden in Obito's words and weighed his words carefully.
"Our Uchiha clan has a glorious history of thousands of years, but the Konoha Ninja Village, which was established because of our (she glanced at Obito when she said this, and continued when he didn't react) momentary mistake, has only been around for 60 years.
"If I allow the Uchiha clan to be exterminated in the Konoha Ninja Village, if I allow something like this to happen, then the history of our Uchiha clan will be forever tied to this organization that was only established a few decades ago."
"In this way, when people mention the Uchiha clan 10 years or 100 years later, they will not imagine the Uchiha clan that dominated the ninja family for thousands of years during the Warring States Period, but just a Konoha ninja family that was wiped out overnight in the Konoha Ninja Village. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"
"That makes sense, what you said is very interesting."
Three magatama appeared in the right eye under the mask.
