Early the next morning, the atmosphere in Konohagakure village changed instantly. After all, such a thing happened to the Uchiha clan, it couldn't be concealed.
The news of the death of the Uchiha clan's elder had been spread. The threshold of Fugaku's house had almost been trampled by other people of the Uchiha clan. They all asked Fugaku to find out the murderer who killed the elders.
But Fugaku just sat there, closed his eyes, and said nothing.
And Sasuke was in another room, curling his body into a ball, shivering. Although he was still young, he obviously knew what had happened.
The culprit who caused all this was his own brother, Uchiha Itachi.
He really wanted to ask Itachi loudly right now.
"Why? Why did you do this? Why did you kill the people in the clan? Why did you kill those elders?"
Obviously, Sasuke doesn't know the deeper things now, he only knows that his brother has done something sorry for the clan.
"Clan leader, you have to say something. I feel that the murderer must be someone from the village. We might as well go directly to the Hokage and ask him to hand over the person."
A member of the Uchiha clan saw that Uchiha Fugaku was silent, and his tone became somewhat anxious.
"Who is the murderer? We are currently investigating. Once the investigation is clear, we will definitely give you all the truth."
Fugaku definitely couldn't say it was his own son who did it. After all, if he said so, it would mean that he knew who the murderer was in advance. And knowing the murderer but not preventing it, his position as the Uchiha clan leader might not be preserved.
"Clan leader, what are you still doubting? It must have been done by Konohagakure. You know, those who died were all advocating for war with Konohagakure. Konohagakure must have received some wind and solved them all."
That Uchiha clan member insisted.
Although he is not a member of the extreme faction, those who died are after all their clan members. The so-called one glory, one loss, if such a thing happened, if Konohagakure does not give a specific answer, they will not be able to raise their heads in the village in the future.
Just then, an Anbu wearing a mask appeared next to Uchiha Fugaku. He was able to come to this room where the main members of the Uchiha clan gathered under the heavy defense of the Uchiha clan. Among the Anbu, only one person could do it.
"Hatake Kakashi, what are you doing here?"
A member of the Uchiha clan recognized Kakashi's identity and directly questioned him. At this time, these Uchiha clan members still had some anger in their hearts. Because they all thought that this was ordered by the Hokage, maybe Kakashi was also one of the murderers.
"The investigation has been clear, the murderer who killed the various elders of the Uchiha clan is Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui."
"Bullshit."
As soon as Kakashi's words fell, a hot-tempered Uchiha clan member immediately cursed.
Then, other people also responded one after another, and the unpleasant curses kept ringing in Hatake Kakashi's ears.
"Itachi and Shisui could never do such a thing as harming their own clan members. You guys don't want to let our people take the blame."
"Yes, clan leader, find Itachi and Shisui, let them confront the people of Konohagakure face to face."
Another clan member threw the topic to Fugaku.
"I have already sent people to find Itachi and Shisui, but now they can't find their traces."
As soon as Fugaku's words fell, those Uchiha clan members were stunned.
At this moment, a bad premonition appeared in their hearts.
"Why did Itachi and Shisui disappear under such circumstances?"
"Could it really be the two of them who did it?"
"Why is it like this?"
You know, they regard Itachi and Shisui as the hope of the rise of the Uchiha clan. If the two of them do such a thing, it is unacceptable to all of them.
"Not only that, the two also killed the elder of Konohagakure, Shimura Danzo."
Kakashi continued to say, the news of Danzo's death must be told to them as soon as possible, so that these Uchiha clan members can calm their hearts.
"Danzo is dead too?"
"Why did they do this?"
Most of the Uchiha clan members expressed doubts, but there were also some smart people who were thinking about the reasons why Itachi and Shisui did this.
"Itachi and Shisui are really stupid."
An older-looking member of the Uchiha clan suddenly burst into tears, obviously, he had figured out what the reason was.
Before, it was just the people of the Uchiha clan who died, and he didn't understand. But now with Danzo's death, he fully understood.
"Elder, what exactly is going on?"
A member of the Uchiha clan asked urgently, and the others also cast their eyes on him. They all wanted to know what the reason was for Itachi and Shisui to do this.
"Itachi and Shisui killed all those who wanted to start a war or were detrimental to the clan. They did this because they wanted the village and our Uchiha clan to live in peace."
"Is that so?"
After hearing the explanation of the elder, the crowd showed expressions of sudden realization.
"They are really stupid. If they didn't want to start a war, we could have stopped it together. Why did they have to walk down this dead end?"
At this moment, some people who were wise after the event expressed their conclusions.
"Currently, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui have been listed as S-Class rogue ninjas by Hokage-sama. Anyone who encounters them can directly kill them."
After seeing that the people's mood had calmed down a bit, Kakashi added salt to their wounds.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku's steady figure trembled involuntarily. Although he knew that the two of them had other tasks, others didn't know.
What they knew was that Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui were the murderers who killed the elders of the Uchiha clan and Konohagakure.
Uchiha Mikoto was even in the small room next door, holding Sasuke, crying bitterly.
"Clan leader, even though Itachi and Shisui did it for the good of our clan, they are also the murderers who killed the elders. I think our Uchiha clan should personally capture these two."
Although the actions of Uchiha Itachi and Shisui made them feel a pity, they had to avenge those dead elders because they were also people of the Uchiha clan.
But Uchiha Fugaku still remained silent and did not respond.
"Clan leader, you can't cover up for Itachi just because he is your son."
"Okay, since you all think so, then you can go and capture Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui at any time. But let me tell you in advance, Uchiha Shisui has already activated the Mangekyou Sharingan. Whether you are his opponent or not, you should weigh it carefully before you set off."
Fugaku didn't know that Itachi had also activated the Mangekyou.
Otherwise, he would definitely not be so sad. After all, Fugaku is also a selfish person. If killing a few elders can make Itachi stronger, Fugaku would be happy to see it.
After all, he, who possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan, knows how powerful the Mangekyou is.
