"Hawk! It's the Clan Head's summons!"
As a ninja hawk appeared in the sky above the clan grounds, the many bewildered Uchiha clansmen suddenly found their anchor.
They all sped towards the Clan Head's house, and Uchiha Itachi, who was in the midst of the slaughter, saw this and a flicker of anxiety flashed in his eyes.
If all the Uchiha clansmen gathered together, the Hidden Leaf Village would have to be prepared for heavy losses if it wanted to completely eliminate them.
"Shouldn't you be doing your part?"
Uchiha Itachi flicked the blood from his blade onto the ground as he spoke to his surroundings.
As Uchiha Itachi's words fell, a spatial vortex suddenly appeared in front of him.
The eyes of Uchiha Obito, who wore a mask, were filled with indifference.
"There's an unknown change here in Uchiha. I think our cooperation can be temporarily terminated."
Upon hearing the words of the man in front of him, Uchiha Itachi's expression remained unchanged, as if he had long expected the other party to do so.
"Don't you want to destroy the Uchiha Clan? Are you planning to give up?"
Although the other party claimed to be Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Itachi didn't believe him at all. If it really were Uchiha Madara, would he need to be so secretive?
He could directly invade the Hidden Leaf Village, and no one would be able to stop him.
"That's none of your business. However, if you have nowhere to go, our organization still welcomes your arrival."
After speaking, a spatial vortex surged in Uchiha Obito's right eye, and his body twisted with the vortex, disappearing from the spot.
"What should I do next..."
Just as Uchiha Itachi fell into confusion, Shimura Danzo finally arrived with his Root ANBU.
Looking at Uchiha Itachi standing motionless, Shimura Danzo directly reprimanded him:
"Uchiha Itachi, what are you doing here? Why haven't you carried out the plan? Could it be that you're still thinking about the Uchiha Clan?"
Uchiha Itachi glanced at Shimura Danzo indifferently, and said without a trace of emotion:
"Elder Danzo, the Uchiha Clan has already gathered. I alone cannot eliminate everyone."
"And a strange person has infiltrated here."
"A strange person?"
Hearing the other party say this, Shimura Danzo couldn't help but ask:
"What strange person?"
"Hmm, the voice that spread throughout the Hidden Leaf Village was that person's doing."
"Moreover, he is very clear about my purpose. The other party's strength is unfathomable, but he hasn't made a move, which is also something I find very strange."
Hearing Uchiha Itachi's account, Shimura Danzo's brows furrowed involuntarily. The other party was undoubtedly helping the Uchiha Clan.
But if he had considerable strength and didn't make a move, then what was his purpose?
Could it be a spy sent by other Shinobi Villages to incite civil war within the village!
Thinking of this, Shimura Danzo couldn't sit still. If this were the case, it would mean that other Shinobi Villages were definitely prepared to invade the Hidden Leaf Village.
He had to quickly inform Sarutobi.
"You all follow Uchiha Itachi to eliminate the Uchiha Clan. I need to go back quickly."
"Yes! Lord Danzo!"
The more than two hundred Root ANBU present simultaneously shouted their assent, then turned to look at Uchiha Itachi.
"Then let's go."
Uchiha Itachi walked towards his home without looking back, and the Root ANBU behind him hurriedly followed.
Watching the retreating figures, Shimura Danzo turned and sped towards the Hokage's office.
"Lord Chen, all the Uchiha clansmen who can still fight are here."
Uchiha Fugaku, dressed in battle attire, spoke respectfully to Zhong Chen, who stood beside him.
Zhong Chen looked at the many red-eyed people in front of him, and couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder. No less than eight hundred ninja, all with Chunin-level strength or higher.
There were no less than a hundred Jonin. If you included the Genin with little combat power, the entire Uchiha's available combat strength would exceed 1,500 people.
This was their strength after being suppressed for so many years. No wonder the Hidden Leaf Village's F4 constantly wanted to destroy the Uchiha Clan.
Furthermore, this clan frequently produced geniuses. If provoked, they might awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, causing their strength to skyrocket.
Such a group of unruly and powerful individuals would be suppressed fiercely by any leader.
Thinking of this, Zhong Chen took a step forward, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"Who I am, I'm sure your Clan Head has already told you, but it's not comprehensive enough."
"I know some of you are unconvinced, feeling that submitting to me is an insult to Uchiha's dignity."
"But what I want to say is, being able to submit to me is a great fortune for you!"
"Who knows how many people want to submit to me but have no way to do so."
"Everyone, look at the camera!"
The Uchiha clansmen standing below subconsciously looked in Zhong Chen's direction. A white light flashed, and a lot of information appeared in their minds.
A moment later, everyone present looked at the nonchalant Zhong Chen with horror.
Are you kidding me! This guy... no... this Lord, is he really such an amazing existence!
What kind of person has Uchiha followed? Now they can truly look down on others with their noses in the air!
You little small fries still struggling in the Shinobi World.
Little do you know that in this instant, we Uchiha have already reached a height you can't imagine!
Led by Uchiha Fugaku, everyone present knelt on one knee in unison, their faces filled with excitement as they lowered their heads and shouted loudly:
"Your subordinates swear to serve Lord Chen to the death, and swear to serve the Monster Country Federation!!!"
"Very good, very spirited! Rise!"
"Yes! Lord Chen!"
At this moment, the Uchiha clansmen felt an incomparable sense of relief in their hearts and minds, all worries disappearing.
Hidden Leaf Village? Shinobi World? Go to hell, all of you!
"Fugaku, collect the bodies of the deceased and take them away. I'll revive them when I find time. The rest of you, go pack your belongings."
"Those who have nothing to do, stay here with me and wait for a certain unfilial son to arrive."
"Yes!"
The crowd, having received Zhong Chen's command, began to move. In the end, only about a hundred people who didn't need to pack their belongings remained here.
Ten minutes later, Zhong Chen, lying on the tatami eating grapes, spat out a grape seed and waved at Uchiha Fugaku.
"Lord Chen, what are your orders!"
Looking at the respectful Uchiha Fugaku, Zhong Chen smiled and said:
"Fugaku, no need to be so nervous. I have a very good temper, especially with my own people."
"This..."
Uchiha Fugaku looked at Zhong Chen with a conflicted expression after hearing this, while Zhong Chen waved his hand helplessly.
"Suit yourself. Oh, right, get ready. Your dear eldest son is coming."
Uchiha Fugaku, hearing the first part of Zhong Chen's words, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard the latter part, his expression couldn't help but become serious.
Before, he didn't know where the future of the Uchiha Clan lay, so he was somewhat despondent.
But now it was different. They had a powerful backer above them. Forget his eldest son, even Mikoto... um... never mind, never mind, she's not to be messed with.
Anyway, no one would be able to stop the Uchiha from heading towards a beautiful tomorrow.
Swish swish swish swish swish... As countless figures dressed in ANBU attire leaped over the wall, the hundred or so Uchiha who remained on guard also activated their Sharingan.
In the blink of an eye, the spacious courtyard was packed with people...
