When Uchiha Shin's main body arrived at the Hokage Building.
The ANBU ninjas in the Hokage Building had all been cleared out.
Only Uchiha clansmen were standing guard nearby.
When those people saw Uchiha Shin.
They immediately approached.
And greeted him respectfully, "Lord Clan Head!!"
Although Uchiha Shin had only been the head of the Uchiha clan for less than two hours.
But at this moment, he had won everyone's recognition and trust.
There was no helping it.
Everything fears comparison.
Fugaku, in his dozen or so years in power, had not done much of substance for the Uchiha, nor had he brought any real benefits to the Uchiha.
He was fickle internally.
And submissive to outsiders.
The great Uchiha clan, in his hands, was tricked, confined, and monitored, to the point where he didn't even dare to make a sound.
It even led to the young clan head betraying the family and carrying out a massacre against his own people.
All of this, without exception, demonstrated Uchiha Fugaku's incompetence.
And what about Uchiha Shin?
First, he thwarted Itachi's plot.
Then he killed the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Then he forced the surrender of the ninja army besieging the Uchiha grounds, beheading three thousand.
Then, he led his men to exterminate the four great clans and took full control of the Hokage Building.
In the process, he also eliminated the two advisors, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura.
One by one.
Any one of these accomplishments, if done by one person.
Would be enough to be admired for decades.
And yet, all of these things were accomplished by Uchiha Shin in a single night.
The Uchiha clansmen had personally watched him create miracles step by step.
They naturally held this new clan head, Uchiha Shin, in high esteem.
"How is the situation?"
Uchiha Shin nodded and asked casually.
"Our takeover of the Hokage Building went very smoothly, without any accidents. Everything inside the Hokage Building has been preserved very well! As for the specifics, Lord Clan Head, your shadow clone should know better," that clansman said.
"Well, I understand!" Uchiha Shin nodded and walked directly into the Hokage Building.
Not long after.
Uchiha Shin found his shadow clone in the Hokage's office.
"Did you find the Scroll of Seals?"
Uchiha Shin's main body didn't stand on ceremony and asked directly.
"See for yourself."
Uchiha Shin's shadow clone directly exploded into a puff of white smoke.
In that instant, a stream of memories flowed into Uchiha Shin's mind.
Uchiha Shin immediately knew.
The Scroll of Seals was here.
In the Hokage's office.
"The Sarutobi clan was smart not to take the Scroll of Seals. Otherwise, I would have had to chase them to the highest heavens and the deepest underworld!!"
Uchiha Shin sneered.
He then walked over to the Hokage's office chair and sat down.
He looked down.
And quickly saw a huge scroll.
It was standing there.
Uchiha Shin didn't hesitate, picked it up, placed it on the desk, and directly unrolled it to read.
On the Scroll of Seals.
Countless ninjutsu and forbidden jutsu were recorded.
From the most basic Three Body Techniques.
To the highest-level Flying Thunder God Technique, Impure World Reincarnation Technique, Bringer-of-Darkness Technique, and the Eight Gates.
As long as it was a Konoha ninjutsu that appeared in the anime, it was almost all recorded inside.
Even ninjutsu that hadn't appeared.
Were also recorded inside.
After looking through it.
Uchiha Shin not only broadened his horizons but could also confirm that this scroll was genuine and had not been swapped.
At this moment.
A knock came on the door of the Hokage's office.
Uchiha Shin rolled up the Scroll of Seals and said, "Come in!"
Soon, the door was pushed open, and Uchiha Tekka walked in.
"Lord Clan Head, I've figured it out. More than an hour ago, more than three thousand people from the Sarutobi clan, adults carrying children, the young supporting the old, hurriedly fled Konoha through the main gate!"
"Should we give chase?"
Uchiha Tekka said in a deep voice.
"The Sarutobi clan has more than three thousand people??" Uchiha Shin's eyes couldn't help but widen.
"Yes, according to all the eyewitness accounts, the Sarutobi clan has more than three thousand members. Among them, the elderly, children, and pregnant women number around one thousand three hundred.
The number of people with ninja skills is about two thousand!" Uchiha Tekka said.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen is impressive!!"
Uchiha Shin couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Yes, who would have thought that the Sarutobi clan, which had only less than three hundred people when Konoha was first established, would quietly grow by nearly twenty times in just a few decades!!
From this, one can see how much wealth that bastard Sarutobi Hiruzen scraped from the people of Konoha and seized from others since he took office."
"Clan Head, let's go after the Sarutobi clan.
As long as we wipe out the Sarutobi clan.
Then, the wealth Sarutobi Hiruzen scraped together over the years will be ours, the Uchiha's!" Uchiha Tekka said with a fiery look in his eyes.
He was truly greedy for the wealth of the Sarutobi clan.
He wished he could snatch it all right away.
"Tekka, your vision is too narrow. After taking control of Konoha, will our Uchiha lack money? Will we lack resources??" Uchiha Shin shook his head and smiled.
"We won't!" Tekka was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"Yes, as long as we can control Konoha, we will never lack money and resources, so there's no need to be envious of others," Uchiha Shin said with a faint smile.
"Then are we not going to chase the Sarutobi clan?" Uchiha Tekka asked.
"We have to chase them, but they've already been gone for more than an hour. And it's two thousand people with ninja abilities, running away with more than a thousand children, pregnant women, and elderly.
In a life-or-death escape, how far do you think they can run in an hour?" Uchiha Shin asked.
"If they're traveling at full speed, it's at least seventy or eighty kilometers, right? A hundred kilometers isn't impossible either," Uchiha Tekka said after some thought.
Ninjas and ordinary people are completely different.
For an ordinary person, running twenty kilometers in an hour is the limit.
For a ninja, running seventy or eighty kilometers in an hour is a piece of cake. In a life-or-death situation like this, running a hundred kilometers is not impossible.
"Yes, they've already gone so far, and we can't be sure which direction they went.
We also can't be sure if they split up to run.
Catching them won't be easy!" Uchiha Shin said in a deep voice.
Although Uchiha Shin guessed that after fleeing Konoha, the Sarutobi clan would head for the Capital of the Land of Fire.
After all, Sarutobi Asuma was also there.
It would be easy to settle down there.
But nothing is ever absolute.
After all, this was a choice that concerned the fate of the entire clan.
It wasn't impossible that they would choose the strategy of a cunning rabbit having three burrows.
To disperse the risk.
And flee in multiple directions.
Therefore.
Uchiha Shin felt that he shouldn't press them too hard right now.
Otherwise, if they went into hiding, he wouldn't know where to find them.
Only when they all gathered together.
And he attacked them then.
That would be a truly fatal blow!
"Then what should we do next?" Uchiha Tekka asked quickly.
"Go to Elder Setsuna and ask for a few clansmen who did not participate in the battle, who are full of stamina and spirit, and who are also relatively clever. Then go to the Hyuga clan, the Inuzuka clan, and the Aburame clan and ask for a few people.
Form several tracking teams to track the Sarutobi clan.
Remember, after you find the Sarutobi clansmen.
Do not alert them.
We only need to control their movements and monitor them in secret.
When we find a suitable opportunity, we will annihilate them in one fell swoop!" Uchiha Shin said in a deep voice.
"Understood!"
Uchiha Tekka's eyes lit up.
