Chapter 64 Dawn Undercurrent!
At dawn, the Root headquarters.
Danzo had a sullen face, standing with a cane, and figures kept flying around, then half-kneeling at his feet.
In a short while, a large group of people knelt down in front of him.
"Feng, how many people have not returned to the headquarters yet?"
Shan Zhongfeng Meng lowered his head and replied, "There are still about thirty people on the mission outside. The eagle has sent a message to inform them to return!"
Danzo couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, and said calmly: "We must return to the Root before nightfall at the latest. Those who can't do it will be left to you to deal with. Do you understand, Feng?"
"Understood, Lord Danzo!" Yamanaka Feng responded loudly.
"very good!"
Danzo looked at the large group of Root Ninjas in front of him, and said in a murderous tone: "The Uchiha clan is plotting a rebellion. This inherently evil clan must be wiped out in history, and we are the executioners who bury them. Do you understand? "
Whoa!
All the Root Ninjas raised their heads in unison and stared directly at Danzo, their eyes cold and heartless, as if they had cut off all their human emotions!
"Understood! We will crush all obstacles for Master Danzo! Even if we sacrifice our flesh and blood and soul, we will send the Uchiha clan to hell!!"
Danzo looked at this group of Root Ninjas trained by himself with satisfaction. As expected, the power cultivated by oneself is the most reliable. After all, Hiruzen is old and lacks courage!
He immediately began to give orders:
"Then, from now on, we must closely guard the Uchiha clan's territory and make sure all of their clan members are under our surveillance. At the same time, we must secretly set up a barrier outside of their clan's territory!
After nightfall, leave no one alive! Kill!!”
"Understood! Kill!!"
"Disperse!"
All the ninjas lowered their heads, accepted the order and left!
Danzo turned around and looked up at the ceiling, facing the Hokage Building.
Humph, Hiruzen. Just wait. Even if you don't send anyone to deal with the Uchiha clan, I will destroy them with my own strength and wipe them out from this world without a single one left!

Konoha Village, the land of the Uchiha clan.
All the Uchiha clan members were called back to the clan overnight, and a solemn atmosphere enveloped the place.
Uchiha Fugaku sat under the eaves in front of the door, looking at the sunlight gradually shining in from afar; a cup of tea was placed next to him, and the heat had mostly dissipated.
"Fugaku, didn't you sleep all night again?" Uchiha Mikoto walked behind him and put her arms around Fugaku from behind.
"Oh... it's really hard to fall asleep."
Uchiha Fugaku sighed. He had hardly slept in the past few days. Even if he fell asleep for a while, he would soon be awakened by nightmares.
In the dream, his wife and children died tragically in front of him. As a husband and a father, how could he feel at ease!
"Or, why don't our family escape from Konoha and survive somewhere else?" Uchiha Mikoto said tentatively.
Uchiha Fugaku shook his head, "The ninja world is big, but also small; where can we hide? Besides, the clan's territory is probably surrounded by ninjas from the Anbu and Root.
Even though the Sandaime seems like a good guy, he actually hopes that our clan will become history, but he can't do it openly.
So Danzo became his best sword. I think that now the clan land has become a cage that you can only enter but not leave. Once you get out, I'm afraid..."
He didn't finish, but Uchiha Mikoto already understood.
"What should we do? Itachi and Sasuke, they are still innocent children!"
"There are dozens of children in the clan, plus women and the elderly, hundreds of people, who are not innocent? How could the higher-ups let us go just because of these things!
The best way is to let Itachi take Sasuke away, as for us... we need to be prepared."
Uchiha Mikoto was silent for a while, and finally put her face on Fugaku's back and murmured: "I understand, as long as it can buy time for Itachi and Sasuke, I can do this."
"I'm sorry for putting you in such a bad situation, Mikoto." Uchiha Fugaku placed his hand on Mikoto's hand that was wrapped around his and stroked it gently.
Uchiha Mikoto said angrily, "We are husband and wife, why should we say sorry?"
The two of them were affectionate again.
Oh no!
Deidara appeared in front of them in an instant. Seeing the couple being so affectionate with each other, even Deidara couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
Maybe this was going to be the place where Sasuke's brother or sister was going to be created, but he broke in and ruined the atmosphere.
"I'm sorry, Chief Fugaku, it seems I came at a bad time."
Fugaku let go of Mikoto's hand, stood up and said, "No, you came at the right time."
Seeing that the two had something to say, Mikoto went back into the house. But before entering the house, she glanced at Deidara resentfully, as if blaming him for being a bad young man who instigated the warlike sentiment within the clan.
Deidara curled his lips and didn't take it to heart.
Fugaku walked up to Deidara and said, "I have informed everyone in the clan, and when the time comes, all the clan members who are currently ninjas will follow your command and participate in the battle.
As for me, I will stay in the clan territory and will not take the initiative to attack. This is my biggest concession. Huojiu, I hope you understand. "
Deidara nodded and said, "That's good. I understand that Chief Fugaku wants to protect his family. It's enough for you to temporarily hand over the right to mobilize the clan members to me. Hmm!"
"Hmm?" Fugaku looked at Deidara strangely. When did the other party develop a verbal habit?
Deidara scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I was nervous and accidentally said my catchphrase."
Fugaku thought to himself, he is indeed still a naive young man, and it is inevitable that he will feel nervous when facing war.
"That's it then. I have to go spend time with my family first."
Deidara quickly stopped him, "Wait a minute, Chief Fugaku. I have something else to say."
"what's up?"
"About your son, he was acting as a spy on both the Hokage's high-ranking officials and the clan's side, did you know that?"
Fugaku remained silent. It was certainly possible that he was completely unaware of it, but he believed that his son would be able to make his own judgment, so he did not say anything to expose him.
Unexpectedly, Huojiu also saw through it.
What should he do? Fugaku was in a difficult situation, but Deidara gave him a way out:
"It seems that Chief Fugaku also knows this. I just came to tell you that your son's actions seriously endanger the lives of the clan members and will also cause unnecessary damage to the plan to overthrow the Hokage's rule tonight."
"I see. Give me some time, and I'll explain it to Itachi."
"That's the best. But I think your eldest son is very rebellious and probably won't listen to you, so I want to give Patriarch Fugaku another way."
coming!
Fugaku's heart tightened. He had known about the mysterious origins of "Hosho" through his prophetic eye technique before. Is he finally going to tell it now?
Seeing his expression, Deidara knew what the other person was thinking.
He evaded the question, "Now is not the time to reveal my identity. I am only giving you a chance to transfer innocent members of the clan. You don't want hundreds of Uchiha clan members to die in vain and then let the Uchiha bloodline be cut off, right?"
"But if you don't explain your origins, I won't be able to rest assured, right?"
"Okay, that makes sense. I can only tell you that I am a descendant of that sir, so don't worry, no matter where you go, an Uchiha is still an Uchiha, and your bloodline will not be taken away by force."
As expected, Fugaku thought.
How could someone live from the Warring States Period to the present? If they were the descendants of the adult who left Konoha Village many years ago, it would make sense.
"Since you are the descendant of that adult, I am willing to trust you once. Anyway, the Uchiha has reached a critical moment of life and death."
"Wise choice."
Deidara stretched out his arm and a small Samehada separated.
"You are responsible for gathering the Uchiha clan members who need to be transferred, and then contact me through this (Samehada). I will find a way to transfer them."
"it is good……"
Fugaku reached out his hand and took the little Samehada.
