[Female Host: As the initiator of the ‘Self-Reflection Initiative’, Konoha has taken the lead in setting an example.]
(Ōnoki: Oh, it’s Konoha, hahaha.
This example is well set.)
(Mei Terumī: I have a feeling something big is about to happen!)
(Raikage A: Looking forward to it.)
This development made Hiruzen Sarutobi’s heart skip a beat; his eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and he felt a bad premonition.
Danzo Shimura also emerged at this moment.
“Hiruzen, we cannot let this screen continue playing.”
“What kind of bullshit ‘Self-Reflection Initiative’!
What kind of ‘taking the lead’!”
“Publicizing Konoha’s internal affairs and letting others make a mockery of us?
It’s simply ridiculous!”
“Look at the reactions from the other Kage?
It’s simply detestable!”
Most importantly, he couldn’t suppress his panic.
This screen was connected to the Pure Land, which meant that the First Hokage and Tobirama could see it too!
That was how Danzo was; he could do shameless things, but you couldn’t bring them up.
If you did, he would claim it was for the sake of Konoha.
But this time it was different; the broadcast range was too wide!
He still wanted some reputation!
Danzo’s gloomy gaze made the Ninjas present feel somewhat uneasy.
The Jōnin who knew a little bit about the situation exchanged glances, all sensing the prelude to a storm.
“What, what’s going on?”
The younger generation completely failed to understand why everyone was acting like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Naruto only felt the gaze of the one-eyed old man piercing through him like a sharp sword, and he hid behind Kakashi, feeling uncomfortable all over.
After sweeping a glance at the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki and Kakashi Hatake, Danzo snorted coldly.
“Hiruzen, at this point, are you still going to hesitate?”
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed deeply.
“Danzo, it’s not a question of whether I want it to play or not, but that we simply cannot stop it.”
Shikaku Nara didn’t want to get involved in the high-level struggles, but helplessly receiving a look from the Third Hokage, he had to explain:
“It’s like this, we have used all the methods we could, but they haven’t had any effect.”
[Male Host: Yes, after the Five Kage Summit concluded, the official Konoha website uploaded a documentary regarding the full story of the Uchiha Clan Massacre.]
[Female Host: After all, it is the biggest dark secret since the founding of Konoha.
After the Fourth Shinobi World War, many Ninjas have been paying attention to this matter.]
[There have been various speculations with different versions on the forums, but until today, the truth of the matter has finally surfaced in its entirety.]
“Uchiha Clan Massacre?
What’s this about a dark secret?”
“Yeah, wasn’t the Uchiha Clan wiped out by the rogue Ninja Itachi?
How could there be a dark secret?”
“Could there be hidden circumstances?”
Ninjas who didn’t know the truth were whispering among themselves.
Danzo took a deep breath, almost unable to catch it.
Damn it!
Starting off with a trump card!
The Uchiha Clan Massacre?!
Hiruzen Sarutobi also froze with his mouth wide open, and the pipe in his hand nearly fell to the ground.
The scene was dead silent.
Ninjas who had some guesses about that event looked at the expressions of the higher-ups, wishing they could become invisible, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
The sole survivor of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Sasuke, quickly became the focus of the crowd’s attention.
But Sasuke had no intention of paying attention to anyone else.
He widened his Sharingan, staring intently at the two hosts on the screen, trying to understand what they were saying.
“What exactly is going on?”
His tightly clenched fists trembled slightly.
“What do you mean by the ‘biggest dark secret since the founding of the village’?”
“Wasn’t the murderer of the clan massacre Itachi?”
He looked fiercely at Kakashi.
“You must know about this, tell me what’s going on!”
Kakashi felt the gaze of the Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura; those looks were definitely not kind.
He exhaled deeply, meeting Sasuke’s eyes filled with expectation and hatred, his gaze pausing slightly.
“This, I cannot say.
Keep watching; perhaps you will find the answers you want.”
(Hashirama: The Uchiha Clan was massacred?)
(Senju Butsuma: Oh, how joyous.)
(Uchiha Tajima: What did you say?!
Madara, what happened?
How was the Uchiha Clan massacred!)
(Uchiha Madara: Those idiots, how would I know.)
Not long after Konoha was founded, he had already seen through the fate of the Uchiha Clan.
It was just a pity that those idiots were indulging in a false peace and were unwilling to leave with him, so reaching this ending today was only natural.
(Uchiha Izuna: The clansmen who betrayed my brother deserve to die.
I actually want to see how you all died.)
Izuna had heard some things from brother Madara and felt angry that the Uchiha clansmen had actually betrayed brother Madara!
(Uchiha Fugaku: I’m sorry, it’s my fault.
As the clan leader, I didn’t do a good job.
The Uchiha Clan died by my hand.)
“Father?”
Sasuke’s eyes widened, finally seeing the excitement and shock intertwined in his father’s comment.
“Why do you say it’s your fault, isn’t it Itachi?
Damn it!
Does Father still want to take responsibility for him?”
“Sasuke…”
Naruto looked at Sasuke blankly, feeling a bit at a loss.
He didn’t know how to comfort Sasuke because he didn’t understand these emotions, nor could he help Sasuke.
(Ōnoki: If I recall correctly, the Uchiha Clan was slaughtered overnight by the rogue Ninja Uchiha Itachi, right?
Truly a deep father-son bond; Uchiha Fugaku is actually covering for his own son.)
(Uchiha Madara: To be wiped out by one’s own people, that’s quite ridiculous.)
(Uchiha Itachi: That’s right, the Uchiha Clan was wiped out by me.
I killed every single one of them; there is no doubt about that.)
The culprit himself came out to claim it, and only then did Danzo and Hiruzen manage to breathe a sigh of relief.
But Itachi himself was very worried about Sasuke.
This light screen was not within his plan.
If the truth about the Uchiha Clan was exposed now, not only would the reputation of the Uchiha Clan be gone forever.
Sasuke would also be in danger.
(Uchiha Shisui: Itachi, I’m sorry, throwing everything onto you.)
Seeing the words of Clan Leader Fugaku and Itachi, Shisui immediately understood the whole situation.
The Uchiha Clan had ultimately reached this step, and Itachi…
Bearing this sin, you must be in a lot of pain.
“Even Shisui?”
Sasuke couldn’t understand at all.
Itachi clearly killed the whole clan, and he even admitted it himself; why did Father and Shisui have that kind of attitude?
[Male Host: Let us enter the documentary on the full story of the Uchiha Clan Massacre.]
A video appeared on the sky screen, and the footage began to play slowly.
