“Gen, what you said…
is it true?”
An elder of the Uchiha Clan couldn’t help but look at Gen trembling.
Gen nodded affirmatively: “It is true.”
“Then why?…”
“Why not say it earlier?”
Gen interrupted the other person, looking around.
Everyone had such questions in their eyes.
“Then have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if I said it earlier?
This secret would be leaked.
The Village would order me to lead people to conquer that world.
I wouldn’t want to, so they would use the lives of the Uchiha Clan’s young and old members to threaten me.
By then, our clan would really have no retreat.”
“But can we really live in that world?
Doesn’t that world have many strong people?”
Leaving their homeland for a completely strange world made many people worried.
“Don’t worry, although that world has many strong people, not all strong people will gather together.
And that world is actually very chaotic.
With the strength of our Uchiha Clan, if we develop with all our might, there is a great chance to become a major force.”
Many young people in the clan felt their hearts pounding when they heard Gen’s words.
What young person hasn’t dreamed of expanding their territory, but they could only act as security guards in the Village.
“But…
just leaving like this, I’m really not reconciled!”
“That’s right!
This is clearly the Village established by our Uchiha Clan, but now we have to run away like a stray dog.”
All the Uchiha Clan members present were almost all born in Konoha Village and grew up in Konoha Village, so they naturally regarded Konoha Village as their hometown.
They didn’t hate Konoha, but hated the higher-ups of Konoha and those villagers who were prejudiced against their Uchiha Clan.
“I know everyone will not be reconciled, and I am the same.
But this is reality.
If you want to raise your head, you must first learn to bow your head.
Furthermore, we are not going and never returning.
We need a period of time to use this time to strengthen our Uchiha Clan.
When we come back, it won’t be to sneakily launch a coup here, but to openly launch a coup and take back everything that belongs to us.”
“Take it back!”
“Take it back!”…
All the young people were filled with excitement upon hearing Gen’s words; his words truly spoke to their hearts.
Uchiha Fugaku frowned and pondered for a moment.
If what Gen said was true, then undoubtedly, this was indeed a good opportunity.
“When do we set off?”
“Now.”
“Now?”
“The timing is perfect right now.
Everyone in the clan is here, so it is the right time to leave.
After all, Konoha has already started moving.”
Uchiha Fugaku’s expression changed instantly: “Moving?
You mean…?!”
“Konoha’s surveillance of the Uchiha Clan is omnipresent.
Since they already know the Uchiha Clan is planning a coup tonight, they naturally won’t sit idly by.
They are waiting for a signal right now, waiting for the moment we actually launch the coup, and then they will strike to completely annihilate the Uchiha Clan.
That way, they won’t even need an excuse.”
“This…”
“How could that be?!”
…
Everyone was shocked, not expecting that their secret plan had long since been seen through by Konoha.
Wouldn’t that mean they were already surrounded?
“Konoha is no longer the Konoha of our Uchiha.
Do not hold any illusions about Konoha.
To control our own destiny, we must rely on our own strength.”
The three tomoe in Gen’s Sharingan began to spin rapidly.
Then, the space in front of him rippled, and a mirror-like space-time channel appeared.
“Let’s go.”
Everyone walked in one after another.
Gen was the last to walk in.
He glanced outside and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: “Goodbye, Konoha.”
* * * * * *
At this moment, outside Naka Shrine, just as Gen had said, Konoha’s Anbu Ninjas had already surrounded the shrine.
The Third Hokage looked at Danzo Shimura with a serious expression and said: “Danzo, are you sure the Uchiha Clan will launch a coup?”
“They definitely will.”
Danzo said affirmatively, then glanced at his subordinate.
The subordinate immediately understood and released a large number of black insects from his hands.
These were Kikaichu, the secret technique of the Aburame Clan, using one’s own body as a nest to raise insects, which could be used to fight and collect intelligence.
The insects quickly flew toward Naka Shrine.
Before long, the insects flew back.
“What?!” The Aburame Clan Ninja responsible for intelligence gathering had a slightly changed expression, with disbelief in his eyes.
“What happened?” Danzo asked with a frown.
“Naka Shrine is empty; the entire Uchiha Clan has disappeared!”
Hearing this, the expressions of the Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura froze for a moment, and then they quickly dispatched everyone to investigate Naka Shrine.
As a result, they didn’t find any tunnels, and the Uchiha Clan had disappeared silently right under their noses.
“Go find them!
Even if you have to turn the entire Ninja World upside down, find them for me!”
The cooked duck had flown away, which made Danzo filled with anger.
The Third Hokage’s brows were also tightly furrowed at this moment.
The fact that all members of the Uchiha Clan had disappeared must have something to do with that young man from the Uchiha Clan.
He had seen Uchiha Gen a few times, but he couldn’t see through that teenager at all.
He had a premonition that the Uchiha Clan would definitely return.
And, when the Uchiha Clan returned, the entire Ninja World would tremble.
