Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Killing Hiruzen Wasn't Enough, and Now You Want to Kill Me?

"You killed Hiruzen?" Utatane Koharu shrieked in anger.

"How dare you!!"

"He was the Third Hokage, the leader of our Konoha!!"

"Why wouldn't I dare? Whoever dares to lay a hand on my Uchiha clan must be prepared to be killed! And don't be angry, you two are next!" Uchiha Shin sneered.

"You want to kill me?" Mitokado Homura was both shocked and angry.

"Hmph, the four of you have been colluding, constantly suppressing and ostracizing my Uchiha. Sarutobi Hiruzen is guilty, and you two are guilty as well!" Uchiha Shin sneered.

"As expected of the evil Uchiha clan, insubordinate and lawless!" Mitokado Homura cursed angrily.

"Hiashi, Shikaku, what are you all standing there for? Hurry up and attack. Kill this group of lawless, insubordinate, evil criminals!" Utatane Koharu shrieked in anger!

Uchiha Shin, upon hearing this, did not rush to retort, but instead looked at Hiashi and Shikaku with a playful expression.

Hiashi and Shikaku's scalps tingled.

Since Uchiha Shin had just been able to kill the Third Hokage, force Danzo to flee, behead three thousand, and force an army to surrender.

That showed how terrifying he was.

They were supposed to attack?

They had no doubt that if they really made a move.

The fate of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others would likely be their fate as well.

"Elder Koharu! Didn't I say it before? We are not attacking the Uchiha. Don't speak such nonsense!!"

"Yes, Elder Koharu, the Uchiha are also members of our Konoha, we are all comrades. How could we possibly attack the Uchiha!" Hiashi quickly echoed Shikaku.

"..." Utatane Koharu was furious!!

Her gaze swept across the faces of the various clan heads.

She saw all sorts of expressions.

But not a single one showed any intention to fight.

Her heart couldn't help but turn cold, "Is this what you all mean?"

"Elder Koharu, actually, we all feel that no matter what conflicts arise within our village, we can sit down and negotiate properly. There's no need to resort to violence!"

"Doing so, aside from causing unnecessary casualties and hurting feelings, doesn't solve any problems!!"

One person spoke, and the others nodded in agreement.

"Good, good, good, you're all really something!" Utatane Koharu trembled with anger.

She hadn't expected the people who had just been obedient to turn around and backstab her.

Uchiha Shin, after watching the drama for a while, suddenly found it boring.

He spoke, "Alright, since you're not going to fight, then step aside!"

"Shin, can you spare Elder Koharu and Elder Homura's lives?" Shikaku pleaded.

Intimidated by Uchiha Shin's six Susanoos, he didn't dare to attack the Uchiha.

But he also didn't want to see Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura die.

After all, according to Uchiha Shin, Sarutobi was dead, and Danzo had fled.

If these two died as well.

In the future, Konoha would likely have no one who could stand up to the Uchiha.

Moreover, with so many people dying in one night, there would surely be a major upheaval.

Shikaku didn't want to be caught up in such a mess.

Naturally, he wanted to protect the two of them.

"Are you dreaming? Not only will these two die, but the four great clans of Sarutobi, Shimura, Mitokado, and Utatane will all be exterminated! If you want to exterminate my Uchiha clan, then you must be prepared to be exterminated by my Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Shin said with a sneer.

Shikaku and the others' expressions changed drastically.

They hadn't expected Uchiha Shin to be so ruthless.

To be so eager to exterminate clans.

"Do you really have to go to such lengths?" Shikaku said with some bitterness.

"If the enemy can come, so can I! An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, this is the Uchiha! So, either get out of the way and watch! Or, become an enemy of my Uchiha clan just like them. As for persuading me, there's no need!" Uchiha Shin said coldly.

"I'll give you three seconds to consider."

"Three!"

"Two!"

"This matter has nothing to do with me, I'm staying out of it!"

Hyuga Hiashi said at the first opportunity.

He then led the Hyuga clansmen and stepped aside.

The other ninja clans saw this and followed suit.

Shikaku also didn't dare to confront Uchiha Shin at a time like this.

Although a wise man has wisdom beyond others, it's completely useless against a brute.

He could only go with the flow and silently step aside.

Soon.

Only Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, along with a few of their guards, were left there.

"The Hyuga clan usually calls itself the number one ninja clan in Konoha, but in the end, they were scared off by a sixteen-year-old brat from the Uchiha clan with a few words and left with their tails between their legs. Hiashi, you've really brought glory to the Hyuga clan."

"The Ino-Shika-Cho trio has been heavily relied upon by Sarutobi for so many years, and this is how you repay him. Shikaku, Inoichi, Choza, ask yourselves, are you worthy of Hiruzen?"

"Some clans have no backbone at all, they've completely lost..."

"That's enough! Elder Koharu!"

Utatane Koharu's words were not finished before they were interrupted.

The one who interrupted her was Hiashi.

"Don't make us sound so pathetic. Take a look at what your four great clans have been doing all these years!"

"The four of you hold the power of Konoha, completely treating Konoha as your own property.

Aren't the ones who embezzle funds and undermine the village the four great clans?"

"In the three great ninja wars, I dare say that all of our clans contributed and made sacrifices.

But what did the four great clans do?

When the war started at the front, you arranged your people in the rear.

Even when there was a shortage of manpower on the battlefield, you wouldn't allow them to be deployed.

When it came time to claim credit, the people from the four great clans were all higher than others.

Normally, you occupy the major positions in the village and do nothing!

Besides the Ino-Shika-Cho who can get some scraps from you, which of our clans isn't suppressed?

And you have the nerve to bark wildly here!

How ridiculous."

These words were probably something Hiashi had been holding back for a long time.

Now that all pretenses were off, he could say them so freely, without holding back at all.

"..."

Utatane Koharu was furious.

She hadn't expected this respectful guy to say such vicious words.
