"Huh?"
As Sasuke was about to destroy the figurine, Satoru, who was far away in the Wind Breath Valley of the Land of Fire, still researching whether the Hurricane Celestial Phenomenon had any further possibilities, suddenly felt something being touched.
"This feeling."
He formed hand seals, and several light dots appeared in the spiritual space deep within his mind.
All of them were concentrated in the direction of Konoha.
One of the light dots was flickering.
"The figurine I made for Sasuke is being violently destroyed?"
All Ninja tools he crafted with his Chakra infused into them had a positioning Ninjutsu placed on them.
He could sense any unusual movements.
The reason why even Uchiha Sasuke had one was simply to keep a backup plan.
From various details like the Third Shinobi World War, the Nine-Tailed incident, and the creator of the Darkness Technique, it was clear that while major events were occurring, many details were different.
He knew that not everything in the Ninja World was exactly as he had seen in the anime.
And like the previous incident with the Hogoromo Clan and Gato, he hadn't expected, before reading the memories, that the guy who could be killed by Zabuza in the original work despite such injuries, would have the courage to wipe out a major clan of the Land of Fire.
So he guessed that many other aspects would also be different.
In his previous life, he knew the timeline of the Hokage was very chaotic, so he kept a backup plan for many things.
Now he was facing the real world, and the timeline would definitely change.
"If he's destroying the Itachi figurine I made for him, it means the Uchiha Clan massacre happened last night."
Satoru came outside the Wind Breath Valley, looked at the time outside, and made a judgment in his heart.
As he thought, the timeline and trajectory of all events had changed.
Because in his previous life, Sasuke awakened his Sharingan at seven, and Itachi massacred the clan at thirteen, with a half-year to one-year age difference from reality.
Now Itachi is thirteen, and Sasuke is eight.
So Itachi still massacred the clan at thirteen, and Sasuke's genius level was reduced by one year.
"It's here."
Caw!
Just as he was thinking, an eagle swept across the sky.
Finally, it soared above his head.
After Satoru blew a secret signal, the eagle descended from above.
After taking out the letter and deciphering the information with a secret code, Satoru read it carefully.
Indeed.
It was intelligence sent to him by Hiruzen Sarutobi, stating that Uchiha Itachi had massacred his clan and defected last night, with his current whereabouts unknown.
This was to inform him to return and deal with some matters.
It was also to mourn the Uchiha comrades Konoha had lost.
"It seems I'm not yet a true Konoha elder."
Satoru smiled.
Logically, for such a major event, he should have known before it happened. Even if the Uchiha were in a remote part of Konoha, as the Team Leader of the Analysis Team, he shouldn't have had no news at all.
Knowing the general plot, he still didn't know the Konoha elders' action time.
Or perhaps Danzo and the others were afraid that his surging Will of Fire would disrupt their plans?
However, he didn't care. His Will of Fire was not like Hiruzen's or Jiraiya's; it was very flexible.
His goal in this world had always been to live well and live according to his own ideas.
Occasionally teasing cats, walking dogs, being a nine-to-five worker, and not getting involved in the elders' affairs, was also a good thing.
Anyway, as long as it wasn't about his and his family's safety, at most he would mock them in his heart.
"Does this count as achieving my original dream of transmigration?
Hmm, not quite, only two children."
Satoru took out the Satoru figurine, used the Pupil Setting Hand Ninjutsu to transform it, and jumped on.
…
Hokage conference.
A huge roar rang out.
"Ridiculous, it's too ridiculous! To allow a junior to wipe out the Uchiha Clan in Konoha without anyone noticing!
It's as absurd as Uchiha Madara returning from the Pure Land just to destroy his own clan.
Has Konoha been at peace for too long? Not to mention discovering it beforehand, you shouldn't only discover it after the Uchiha have been wiped out, right?
Doesn't that mean our Konoha's defences are like an unmanned territory for enemies to enter?"
Satoru stood up and reprimanded Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo, and others for their inaction.
His classmates, including Raido Namiashi, Kakashi, and Might Guy, raised their eyebrows upon hearing his roar.
Goodness, openly roaring at Konoha elders during a meeting, you're very brave!
Other Konoha elders, including Ino–Shika–Chō, were also like this.
Their expressions were also very subtle; only Shikaku's expression was already expected.
But they all agreed with Satoru's words.
Being wiped out in their own territory was inexcusable and also a concern for them.
The annual investment in the Barrier Perception Team had always been a large expense.
The Uchiha Clan being wiped out was not a small matter.
Yet there was no movement at all.
"Teacher is too cool, indeed a person with a firm Will of Fire." Ibara Keisen looked at his teacher questioning the Hokage, feeling a bit admiring.
He also thought this incident was too big.
Being silently subjected to such a major event was even more serious than the Nine-Tailed incident.
That could be said to be an irresistible force, but this was a human responsibility.
"Indeed, Hokage-sama, Team Leader is right. Konoha's defences shouldn't be breached so easily."
"This is a huge loophole; we must respond."
"At the same time, an elite unit must be dispatched to pursue the rogue Ninja Uchiha Itachi, otherwise all Konoha residents might lose their sense of security."
Not just them, they didn't feel safe either!
So they didn't say anything about Satoru's roar.
Everyone looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others.
Utatane Koharu: "The enemy was very familiar with Konoha's situation. Before Uchiha Itachi massacred the clan, he had already controlled everyone in the Barrier Perception Team with genjutsu, so we lost monitoring of the entire Konoha."
Homura Mitokado: "Danzo, all the missions Itachi carried out in Anbu were arranged by you. The exposure of the barrier's weakness is your undeniable responsibility, isn't it?"
"No, this responsibility is my fault. It was my mistake to trust Uchiha Shisui and Itachi too much.
Indeed, as the teacher said, they are a clan that cannot control their emotions.
I suggest that the remaining Uchiha Sasuke be handed over to me for handling." Danzo said expressionlessly.
Regarding Satoru's questioning, the elders showed no intention of shying away from responsibility, taking it all on.
Or rather, Danzo took it on.
He even wanted to take Sasuke back with him.
"Enough, Danzo, Uchiha Sasuke cannot be handed over to you, and this was also your major mistake.
I announce that the Anbu training department led by Danzo is disbanded from today onwards.
Root members will return to being normal Ninja and contribute more to Konoha.
Danzo, do you have any objections?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi expressed appreciation for Satoru's words, then spoke to Danzo.
