Hokage Building.
The Third Hokage frowned when he received the news. Someone actually survived Danzo Anbu's ambush and killed a member of the Root.
I guess the Uchiha clan will be much more alert; I don't know if everything will go smoothly tonight.
Of course, the Third Hokage knew that Danzo had issued an order to exterminate the Uchiha.
But he had to pretend he didn't know.
Otherwise, why in the original timeline, as soon as the Uchiha clan was wiped out, Sarutobi Hiruzen arrived before they were completely killed?
Sarutobi Hiruzen handed over many things that were inconvenient to handle to Danzo, so the tacit understanding between them is self-evident.
Anyway, the casualties are from the Root, so it is necessary to weaken Danzo's strength appropriately.
The Third Hokage took a drag from his pipe, "Where is Sasuke now?"
"Replying to Hokage-sama, Sasuke is still in the school and Kakashi is looking after him."
Kakashi is still in Anbu and is the captain of Anbu.
To take care of Sasuke, such an important job, naturally, someone who can be trusted is needed.
The Third Generation nodded slightly: "Keep an eye on Danzo, and notify me immediately if there is any news."
"Yes!"
...
Root.
"You piece of crap! You made such a huge mistake!"
"Three teams can't take down one Uchiha Kanzai!"
Danzo was furious with the people below him, and he gave Itachi the order to exterminate his clan.
The Uchiha people who are on missions outside are naturally on the kill list.
In Uchiha Kanzai's team, only Uchiha Kanzai is a master of the Three Tomoe Sharingan.
The other two are only at the Genin level and have not yet opened their eyes to rookies.
Danzo sent out three teams of nine Root personnel, but they were ambushed and killed.
And the heads of three of them were cut off.
Others didn't recognize this member of the Root tribe, but how could Danzo's people not know him?
Uchiha Kanzai is clearly a demonstration.
What made Danzo angry was not just the loss of those people.
Itachi has already informed Danzo and the others and will take action tonight.
There are so many people in the Uchiha clan. If the Root doesn't cooperate, Itachi won't be able to kill them all by himself from night to dawn.
Moreover, if something like this happened on the eve of the Uchiha's annihilation, it would increase the Uchiha's vigilance.
It is very likely to ruin his plan!
"Did Itachi get any news?"
"Your Excellency, not yet."
Danzo tapped his cane lightly:
"Call our people back. I won't allow any accidents tonight!"
"Yes, Lord Danzo!"
The figure of his men flashed by.
...
Land of the Uchiha tribe.
"Ruri, I'm back!" Kanzai opened the door and shouted inside.
"Brother, you're back!" A girl's voice came from inside, but no one came out.
Kanzai had already taken two steps at a time and entered.
A cute little girl with bright eyes and white teeth was pushing a wheelchair with great effort to move outside.
But she only had one hand and moved a little slowly.
Kanzai's eyes flashed with heartache, and he quickly hugged his sister.
"Great, brother, you're back safely."
Ruri was embraced by Kanzai, and her troubled heart finally calmed down.
The Uchiha have lost many of their people recently, many of whom have never returned.
If it wasn't for a living, Kanzai wouldn't have accepted the mission even though he knew it was difficult.
"Brother, please don't leave. I've heard a lot of bad rumors recently."
Ruri spoke softly, her tone already filled with tears.
Kanzai is her only relative, and she is very scared.
Kanzai carefully picked up Ruri. Although Ruri was wearing a skirt, the bottom of the skirt was empty.
Because Ruri had nothing below her thighs, and even her left hand was broken at the wrist, the only intact part was her right hand.
Kanzai hugged this weightless sister and patted her on the back with his hand:
"Don't worry, I won't be going out any more recently."
"Really? That's great!"
Ruri rubbed Kanzai's chest hard; she missed her brother so much.
"Really, I will try not to go out in the future."
After comforting Ruri for a while, Kanzai looked around.
"Where is Chiyu?" Uchiha Chiyu is their neighbor and childhood sweetheart of Kanzai.
After Ruri became disabled seven years ago, he has been helping to take care of Ruri. After all, Ruri has difficulty in doing many things.
More importantly, I was afraid that Ruri would have thoughts of committing suicide.
It was in these two years that Ruri gradually came out of the shadows, and Chiyu would sometimes leave for a while.
When Chiyu was mentioned, Ruri's eyes flickered:
"Sister Chiyu went out to buy something and will be back soon."
Then Ruri leaned her head on Kanzai's shoulder and whispered:
"Brother, what happened in the clan?"
Kanzai gently stroked Ruri's cheek: "It's okay, it's just that some elders' positions may change, which has little to do with us."
"Hmm..." Ruri obediently didn't ask any more questions and just leaned on Kanzai.
"Brother, you just came back, go take a shower first."
Ruri took a light sniff, and the scent of Kanzai went straight into her nose.
Kanzai smiled and scratched Ruri's nose:
"I'm going to go wash up first. I'm on duty tonight. Can I let Chiyu accompany you?"
"Hey? You have to go on duty right after you got back?"
Kanzai carefully placed Ruri on the wheelchair and patted her head: "If you don't go out to do the mission, you always have to do something."
"Okay, I get it, brother."
...
Kanzai soaked in the bathtub and exhaled slowly.
He took a look at the panel and found that the bond value between him and the Great Elder Uchiha Shikaku had reached three stars.
He tapped the first star, and a flood of memories flooded into his mind.
"Ding, Uchiha Shikaku's first-level bond has been unlocked."
"Ding, congratulations on obtaining: Memory Fragment."
This time the memory is not the memory of practice, but the memory of battle.
Although the Great Elder is old now, he has experienced several wars and has extremely rich combat experience.
A large amount of memories of fighting on the battlefield flooded into his mind.
Let Kanzai exhale slowly.
It really is nice to have a family to lean on.
Kanzai then clicked on the second star, which was a part of Chakra that he had obtained in the Land of Grass.
"Ding, Uchiha Shikaku's second-level bond has been unlocked."
"Ding, congratulations on obtaining: pupil power fragment."
This time…
Kanzai's eyes swelled slightly, but his pupil power increased out of thin air.
Huh?
Why is pupil power?
Kanzai opened his eyes and looked happy.
Once we arrived at Mangekyō Sharingan, the first thing we had to consider was naturally the problem of blindness.
Although the Great Elder did not gain much pupil power, at least Kanzai had a way to replenish it!
He clicked on the third star with great anticipation.
"Ding, Uchiha Shikaku's third-level bond has been unlocked."
"Ding, congratulations on obtaining: Forbidden Technique, Izanagi, Forbidden Technique, Izanami."
In an instant, these two Uchiha's Forbidden Techniques appeared in his mind.
"Oh, I didn't expect the Great Elder even knows these two secret techniques."
Kanzai was surprised at first, but then he felt it was natural. After all, the Great Elder had been to the battlefield several times, so it was normal for him to know these two Forbidden Techniques.
It seems that we have a better chance today.
Kanzai saw that Ruri's name was also on it, but only the first star was bright.
The stars at the back are all locked. Is it because Ruri is not a ninja and doesn't know any secret techniques?
He clicked on the first star of Ruri with some curiosity.
"Ding, Uchiha Ruri's first-level bond has been unlocked."
"Ding, congratulations on obtaining: Memory Fragment."
In an instant, Ruri's memory of learning various pharmacological knowledge merged into Kanzai's mind.
Kanzai smiled knowingly; it seemed that his sister was also working hard when he was away.
