Chapter 73: A Different Night of Massacre
The moonlight was hazy.
Outside the Police Force building, Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu watched the front in silence.
It was unknown how much time had passed before Black Zetsu couldn't help but speak up.
"Obito, is he crazy?"
"I don't know..."
Uchiha Obito was also very confused now. After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but ask.
"Do you think recruiting him was a mistake?"
"..."
Faced with this sudden question, Black Zetsu also appeared somewhat awkward.
In fact, he felt that Uchiha Itachi was truly too extreme!
This bastard actually planned to destroy the pasture he cultivated for the Rinnegan, which was meant to save Mother?
But the problem was, a clansman of Mother had appeared, and he had to gather more power.
Even though he really wished he could just strangle this guy to death, he could only endure it silently.
"Let's ignore his Spiritual issues for now and focus on dealing with the current trouble."
Black Zetsu rubbed his brow and spoke painfully.
"Anyway, White Zetsu has already gone to notify the major Ninja Clans, and Konoha has reacted as well. We just need to do what we are supposed to do."
"Hmm, that's true..."
Uchiha Obito nodded silently. His train of thought was the same as Black Zetsu's: Uchiha Itachi must not be allowed to succeed!
The Uchiha Clan could be killed in batches, but not wiped out completely...
Konoha had already detected his existence; if they found out Uchiha Itachi's whereabouts in the future, it would have a huge impact on them.
Only by leaving a portion of the Uchiha Clan to divert Konoha's energy and simultaneously appease other Ninja Clans could they find peace.
"I can also take the opportunity to harvest a batch of Sharingan; looking at it this way, it's not a loss..."
Thinking of this, Uchiha Obito took a deep breath, and his gaze became sharp.
All he had to do now was wait for the time to come and then complete the agreement with Uchiha Itachi!"
But what he didn't know was that a pair of eyes was quietly watching them from afar.
"Hokage-sama, it has been confirmed."
In the forest on the outskirts of the Uchiha Clan, Hyuga Makoto, wearing an eagle-faced mask, turned to look at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The old man had already changed into his combat uniform, and Danzo stood by his side.
And beside them, a large group of Anbu had gathered densely!
"That Mysterious Person went to the Police Force, likely to take action there, while Uchiha Itachi returned to the clan grounds. They must have joined forces."
"Hmph, I knew something like this would happen!"
Danzo snorted coldly, and Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Uchiha Itachi is truly cold-blooded to the extreme. Let's be ready to act at any moment."
"Hokage-sama, there is one more thing I need to report."
But at this moment, Hyuga Makoto spoke again.
"According to my Byakugan observation, I discovered that more people are coming this way."
"More people?"
"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid it's Ninjas from various clans—"
"Clan Ninjas?"
This news immediately stunned both Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo, and their expressions became even colder!
"Uchiha Itachi, what a sinister and vicious brat—"
Danzo was gnashing his teeth at this moment, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's fists were clenched tight.
"He intends to push this whole matter entirely onto us!"
If they hadn't discovered the situation, Uchiha Itachi would probably have really joined forces with the Mysterious Person to wipe out the Uchiha Clan.
And since he was an Anbu Ninja, everyone had their eyes on the Uchiha Clan's situation.
At this time, for him, as an Anbu, to wipe out the Uchiha Clan and leak the news to let Ninjas from major clans come to investigate—
This was like welding the car door shut!
For a moment, everyone fell into silence.
The Anbu and Root members didn't understand what was happening, and they wouldn't ask at all.
And those who understood were shocked by Uchiha Itachi's ruthlessness.
Even Hyuga Makoto had a strange expression, because he found that this "Night of Massacre" was too abstract!
"Danzo goes without saying, but how is Obito also so ridiculous?"
Hyuga Makoto guessed that it was very likely White Zetsu who spread the news, but why would he do that?
After thinking it over, he suddenly arrived at an answer that left him speechless.
"I'm afraid it's because of me?"
It seemed that people from the Akatsuki Organization were actually quite unlucky after meeting him.
Not to mention people like Orochimaru; Black Zetsu must have been so scared by him that his pupils were shaking.
And Obito only appeared once before having his Akatsuki Organization intelligence "doxxed" by him.
"With the mysterious Otsutsuki lurking in front and Konoha eyeing them from behind—"
So they did this, probably to force Konoha to focus its energy on internal affairs!
After all, with something like this happening, Konoha would need to appease various clans and wouldn't have the time to keep an eye on them.
"Perhaps this even counts as tipping off Konoha, so that the Uchiha Clan doesn't get wiped out completely?"
If they were all wiped out, it would be hard to say if Konoha would concentrate its energy!
After all, with such ruthlessness, who would dare to mess around?
As for the consequences, Hyuga Makoto couldn't help but wonder if it was the drama of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru fighting one-on-one?
Of course, it could also be due to the barrier and the belief in the power of the "Strongest Hokage"...
"However, their coming here isn't a bad thing."
Just as Hyuga Makoto was pondering, Danzo suddenly spoke coldly.
"We have already discovered Uchiha Itachi's conspiracy, and everything he does is just making wedding clothes for us!"
"I know, just act according to the original plan."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said in a deep voice.
"And now that everyone is watching, I don't want any accidents, do you understand?"
"Yes."
All the Anbu responded one after another, and they immediately dispersed, ready at any time.
"Makoto, wait a moment."
But just then, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly spoke up and called Hyuga Makoto to stop.
He hesitated for a moment, his gaze couldn't help but sweep over Danzo, and in the end, he sighed.
"Do you remember what you said in the Hokage Office?"
"Huh?"
Hyuga Makoto was stunned for a moment, then nodded in sudden realization.
"I remember. Hokage-sama hopes that we can seize the right moment to resolve the Uchiha Clan's crisis while stopping Uchiha Itachi!"
"..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyelids twitched. This was clearly Danzo's train of thought, it was your train of thought!
But he really couldn't argue right now, because he also felt that this matter needed to be handled.
It was rare that Danzo had made the right decision this time, even if this guy was doing it because he had been played by Uchiha Itachi and for the sake of Konoha's future.
But regardless, Danzo had changed, and he himself needed to do something.
"That's right, it's my idea..."
Even if he was unhappy, Hiruzen Sarutobi gritted his teeth and admitted it.
"So I hope you won't be too anxious, watch for the right opportunity before acting."
"I understand."
Hyuga Makoto nodded and said seriously.
"I will strictly follow Hokage-sama's instructions and wait until the people inside the Police Force are dead before taking action!"
"..."
"As expected of Hokage-sama, truly ruthless... no, decisive!"
"..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't really want to talk anymore, especially when he saw Danzo on the side, whose eyes were actually shining with admiration.
