Chapter 52
"This...Sandaime-sama would only do that when he had no other choice. After all, we had too many enemies in Konoha at that time."
Thinking of his sacrificed teammates and those Genin who died on the battlefield, Uchiha Itachi's tone finally wavered.
"Humph, you had no choice? Uchiha kid, I don't know what kind of magic potion the old man gave you, but this bullshit"had no choice" is a complete joke. Do you know how many people died in Konoha during the Third World War? You can't see it elsewhere, but you can see it in the Uchiha clan, right?"
"Tsunade-sama, you are a seasoned Sannin, but there are always casualties in wars. For the sake of Konoha's compatriots, their sacrifices are worth it. I understood this truth before I graduated from the Ninja School."
"Haha, you only saw the surface, and that's not what I wanted to say.
After the Third World War, all the clans and civilian ninjas in Konoha suffered heavy losses, but do you know? The last time the Sarutobi clan was exterminated, the registered ninja corpses alone exceeded one-third of the number of people sacrificed in the Three Wars.
This does not include the ordinary members of the Sarutobi clan.
Is the Sarutobi clan a famous ninja clan in Konoha? You Uchiha clan can't afford so many people who have left their jobs, but my teacher did it.
So it turned out that only other clans and civilians were sacrificing in the Three Wars? His Sarutobi clan had nothing to do.
Is this the incarnation of the will of fire that you mentioned?"
It seems that the Uchiha clan must be guided well, otherwise who knows what kind of psychopath will be born. Ordinary Uchiha are not evil, only sick Uchiha are evil.
"this……"
"Poor kid, the so-called benevolent Sandaime Hokage is always thinking about how to slaughter your family, but Danzo, who you have always been prejudiced against, risked being condemned by thousands of people to save the Uchiha clan. If it weren't for Danzo's decisive action that night, the Uchiha clan might have been wiped out now. How can an idiot like you argue with me?"
This stupid boy seems to be the eldest son of Fugaku, right? I didn't expect that a rigid and steady person like Uchiha Fugaku would teach such an idiot.
"What happened that night? Please tell me, Tsunade-sama. Could it be that Shisui-san and I were really deceived by the hypocrisy of the Sandaime? But don’t everyone in Konoha agree with the Sandaime-sama?
"Well, the cause of that incident was after all because of your Uchiha clan. As the young clan leader of the Uchiha clan, you are indeed qualified to know. From Danzo's description, my teacher actually started to find ways to suppress the Uchiha clan a long time ago, and he also came up with a series of plans for this purpose, whether it was sending the three generals to the battlefield of Kirigakure, or the night of the Nine-tailed Fox a few years ago~"
"Wait, the Nine-Tails Night should have nothing to do with the Sandaime-sama, right? After all, the Sandaime-sama also tried his best to stop it at that time, and with all due respect, ordinary Uchiha clan members who can control a beast like the Nine-Tails are probably not able to do it. Although the Sandaime-sama is powerful, he is probably unable to control the Nine-Tails."
Using his own Mangekyō Sharingan as a reference, ordinary Uchiha clan members absolutely cannot have the ability to control the Nine-Tails. Even he can only say that he can slightly affect the Nine-Tails. Controlling it... maybe only the legendary Uchiha Madara can do it.
"Humph, this is the key. The old man really can't do it, but it doesn't mean that others can't do it, such as Uchiha Madara~"
If the mysterious man mentioned by Danzo is really Uchiha Madara, then the situation in Konoha will be dangerous. Sarutobi Hiruzen has been undercover in Konoha for so many years, and no one can be sure how many secret lines he has planted over the years. Although he has defected now, these secret lines are a potential threat.
""Uchiha Madara? Isn't this person the contact person of Akatsuki? How did he get involved with the Sandaime?"
The Sandaime asked him to join Akatsuki as an undercover agent after the extermination of his clan, in order to investigate this Uchiha Madara and the so-called Akatsuki.
"That's right, Uchiha Madara. If the old man hadn't joined forces with Uchiha Madara that night, maybe our Sandaime-sama would be being tortured by the Anbu in Konoha Prison. After all, he was a senior undercover agent planted in Konoha by Uchiha Madara many years ago. Even my second grandfather didn't expect that there would be such a person among his disciples."
This is really funny. Fortunately, the specific information was not known to people from other villages, otherwise the second grandfather's reputation would probably be ruined.
"What? The Sandaime-sama is an undercover agent planted by Uchiha Madara in Konoha? ? ? That's impossible? He's the Sandaime! He's already the Hokage. As the leader of Konoha, why would he work for Uchiha Madara? There's no reason.……"
Fake, this must be fake. If this happens, Konoha will be in danger. That person has been the Hokage for decades. God knows how many undercover agents he has planted. It's scary to think about it...
At this time, even the cold-faced and mature Uchiha Itachi began to sweat.
"It was hard for me to believe it when I first knew about it, but from what the old man has done over the years, it is not hard to see that he has been implementing the main policy of weakening Konoha from the beginning to the end.
No matter how nice his words are, Konoha has indeed been messed up by him.
The Senju clan disappeared, the Konoha White Fang fell, the three ninjas went their separate ways, and if Danzo hadn't intervened, the Uchiha clan would have perished, followed by the Hyuga, Ino-Shika-cho, Aburame, Inuzuka and other families.
And as a member of the Uchiha clan, you should know the power of the Sharingan better than anyone else.
Even my second grandfather could be affected by the Sharingan of Uchiha Madara, not to mention Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"
And at the critical moment, there was Danzo who turned the tide, otherwise Konoha would have been in real danger. Sarutobi Hiruzen, this old man, hid deeper than anyone else, and even my second grandfather, who was shrewd and calculating, was deceived by his hypocritical appearance.
"Hiss… This~ This was all done by the Sandaime??? Wait, you just said that Uchiha Madara used the Sharingan to control the Sandaime-sama, which means this was not his original intention, right? We must rescue the Sandaime from Uchiha Madara. No matter what, he is the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha, and all the mistakes he made before were manipulated by Uchiha Madara behind the scenes."
Comparing his own Mangekyō Eye Technique with Shisui, Uchiha Itachi has believed Tsunade's words. After all, no one knows the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan better than himself. If it was Uchiha Madara, he would definitely be able to control the Sandaime-sama silently.
