Early morning, at the entrance of Konoha Village.
A blood-stained Uchiha was walking towards the gate, carrying three heads.
The three heads were all wearing masks and their faces could not be seen.
This person was Kanzai, who rushed back from the Land of Grass. He was rescued by Muaki and Ryugan.
In exchange for a piece of intelligence, he received a special quick treatment.
He didn't dare to stop and rushed towards Konoha Village without even changing his clothes.
Kanzai arrived at the entrance of the village, and the gatekeepers Shenyue Kotetsu and Kamizuki Izumo came forward to confirm his identity.
"Uchiha Kanzai, Grass Country Mission." While flipping through the documents in his hand, Kotetsu glanced at the heads.
"Did something unexpected happen?"
"Brother Kanzai, you're back!" a voice came from the side.
Kanzai turned around and found that it was a younger child from the clan, Uchiha Akahoshi.
Akahoshi is probably only four or five years old, not yet of school age, with a small head and a childish voice:
"If Brother Kanzai comes back earlier, we can catch up with the clan meeting."
"Looks like we've caught up."
Kanzai was relieved to hear that the clan meeting had just ended.
He hurried all the way, not even having time to change his clothes, and finally arrived back before the night of the genocide.
The Uchiha clan meeting has ended, and Konoha has learned from Itachi that the Uchiha are about to launch a coup.
Danzo has probably already given Itachi the order to exterminate his clan.
Itachi should have been contacting Obito these days, preparing for action.
But since I've caught up, I might as well give it a try.
While thinking, Kanzai lifted up the three heads and showed them to the two gatekeepers, and said meaningfully:
"Of course, there is a high chance of accidents when going on a mission."
Shenyue Kotetsu reminded: "Kanzai, you'd better collect the heads and not scare the civilians."
Kanzai snorted coldly: "Are you teaching me how to do things? Akahoshi, follow me."
Then he took his ID card and went to the mission center.
"Hey...Kanzai!..."
Shenyue Kotetsu shouted, but was held back by Kamizuki Izumo.
He turned around and saw Izumo's solemn eyes. Kotetsu's heart skipped a beat and he asked quietly, "What's wrong?"
Izumo looked around and whispered in Kotetsu's ear: "Those three heads are members of the Root."
...
Uchiha Kanzai was parading through the streets carrying three human heads.
"What are you doing at the door?" Kanzai asked.
Akahoshi is neither an open-eyed nor a ninja, but just an ordinary person with the last name Uchiha.
The Uchiha clan is not entirely made up of ninjas; there are also a considerable number of ordinary people.
These people have no ninja talent, they just have the surname Uchiha.
Who could have imagined that this Uchiha tribe of nearly a thousand people would be wiped out overnight?
"The Great Elder asked me to look at the entrance of the village to see if there are any tribesmen who have returned and asked me to take you back."
Kanzai knew that this was Uchiha's accumulation before the coup, but he was ambushed by the roots every time he went on a mission.
The other teams are probably in danger as well.
"Have any other tribesmen returned?" Kanzai rubbed Akahoshi's hair.
Akahoshi shook his head: "I have been guarding the village entrance for two days, and only you, Brother Kanzai, have returned."
Kanzai sighed inwardly, thinking that the others would probably never come back.
He thought for a moment, "Do you know where Sasuke and Itachi are?"
"Sasuke is going to school, Itachi-sama..."
Akahoshi pouted his lips, showing his dislike for Itachi on his face.
"I don't know where he went."
Kanzai confirmed the time again; the night of genocide should be tonight.
"Go back and tell the Great Elder first. I'll go to the mission center to hand in the mission and then go see him."
"Don't wait for me at the entrance of the village. Go tell Ruri that I have some things to do and won't be home until later."
Akahoshi nodded as if he understood, then ran towards the tribe to report the news.
Kanzai looked at Akahoshi running away and knew that the tribe was gathering strength.
Only by letting children do these things might the clan notice it, but I didn't expect Konoha to act so quickly.
Kanzai clicked on the star above Akahoshi's head in his mind.
"Ding, Uchiha Akahoshi's first-level bond has been unlocked."
"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Memory Fragment."
Some of Akahoshi's memories of practicing shuriken throwing were integrated into his mind.
This is also one of the reasons why he wanted to rush back to save his family.
He discovered that as long as he had a connection with some people, he could always find their name on the template.
There is a corresponding bond progress bar above, as well as the stars that will be hatched when the progress bar is full.
Each star corresponds to a first-level bond.
The first level allows one to obtain a portion of the other party's cultivation memories.
The second level is to be able to obtain a certain amount of Chakra from the opponent.
As for what's above, Kanzai has no idea.
He had already tried it, and except for the Uchiha people, only characters who appeared in the plot could trigger it.
With so many ninjas in the family, it is easy to form bonds.
If his family was destroyed, he would become a rebel ninja, and his utilization rate would naturally be low.
Besides, Kanzai is not alone; he has family, Ruri.
While thinking, Kanzai walked slowly to the mission center, making sure everyone saw the head in his hand.
After handing in the mission certificate, he said loudly in the mission center:
"We were ambushed midway through the mission and all my teammates died, but these three were not strong enough and I killed them."
Kanzai carried the three heads and showed them to the person who took over the task at the mission center before leaving.
After he left, people throughout the mission center were talking about it: "Uchiha has suffered a lot of losses recently."
"I think I know who those three heads belong to..."
The person next to him covered his mouth:
"No, you don't."
The people belonging to the Third Hokage and Danzo in the mission center quickly spread the news.
...
After Kanzai finished all this, he arrived at the gate of Uchiha.
Seeing the Uchiha people coming in and out, Kanzai let out a breath slowly.
Only when he saw that his tribesmen were still there did he feel truly relaxed.
Even though the original Kanzai died, he integrated Kanzai's memories and naturally inherited his love for the Uchiha family.
"Kanzai is back..."
"Why is it so dirty..."
"Go home quickly, Ruri is still waiting for you at home..."
Many acquaintances came and went to greet Kanzai. Kanzai exchanged greetings with each of them and then headed towards the Uchiha Elders' House.
...
Uchiha Shikaku, the current chief elder of Uchiha.
In terms of relationship, he is Fugaku's uncle.
But he is the most hardline hawkish elder of the Uchiha clan.
However, the great elder has been a little anxious recently.
He flipped through the account book in his hand, his brows furrowed.
Recently, Konoha's oppression of the Uchiha has become increasingly severe, and the clan's income has been decreasing.
Since Shisui's death two years ago, Konoha has been suppressing the Uchiha one after another, and now even the guard force is reduced to the size of two teams.
Moreover, the Uchiha clan has lost a lot of manpower while carrying out missions recently.
And Uchiha Fugaku has been wavering.
Although more and more people in the tribe now support the coup, they have fewer cards to use.
Recently, a series of accidents occurred when the tribesmen were out on missions, and no one was found alive or dead.
Under such circumstances, at the clan meeting two days ago, under the pressure of the clan members, Fugaku finally agreed to the coup.
But this news has not spread yet, and only some people in Uchiha know about it.
Fortunately, Akahoshi just came back and said that Kanzai is back, which at least adds a little bargaining chip to the family coup.
"Great Elder, Kanzai requests to see you."
