Chapter 45 Oh no, oh no, OMG! The Uchiha are doomed!
The five warehouses were completely reduced to ruins, and with the remaining traces of water-style ninjutsu, the entire Cangnan supply station had been turned into a swampy wasteland.
After sweeping the battlefield and tallying the losses, the atmosphere inside the supply depot became extremely tense!
Upon receiving the news, Fugaku rushed to the scene, clutching the battle report. He looked at the warehouse, which had been completely destroyed and turned into a scorched, muddy ruin, and the corpses that had been collected and arranged, covered with white sheets. The scene was terrifyingly gloomy.
"What on earth happened?!"
His voice suppressed anger as he scanned the surroundings: "Where's Shinnosuke? Where are Kimura and Kazama?!"
A surviving Chunin, his eyes reddening, reported choked with sobs, "Lord Fugaku, Lord Shinnosuke... and Lord Kimura, Lord Gekko Kazama... they... they all sacrificed themselves."
"What?!"
Fugaku was struck as if by a heavy blow; he swayed and could hardly believe his ears.
Shinnosuke is dead? !
Hiruzen Sarutobi's son is dead, and he died at a supply depot?!
And then there's Kimura and Kazama Gekko, both of them are experienced Jonin.
What on earth happened? Even the last time the Seven Ninja Swords attacked, it didn't cause this much damage!
"Who are the enemies, and how many are there?!"
Even though the sky was about to fall, Fugaku Uchiha forced himself to calm down.
He is the commander-in-chief at the front; he absolutely cannot afford to make a mistake!
"It should be the Mist Shadow Squad that infiltrated our territory and caused trouble before."
Another injured chunin described the incident with lingering fear: "This time... first, someone inside was tricked by a genjutsu and rebelled, then the warehouse exploded, and then the outer perimeter was breached by a strong attack."
"Lord Kimura died at the hands of three Kirigakure ninja... Lord Shinnosuke and Lord Kazama went to the central warehouse to guard important supplies, and... they never came out again..."
The surviving chunin's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.
But the information revealed in his words weighed heavily on the hearts of all the Konoha ninja present, especially Fugaku Uchiha.
"It's that Hidden Mist Squad again! Mist Blades!"
Fugaku squeezed out the name through gritted teeth, his three-tomoe eyes uncontrollably surfacing, radiating a cold aura.
In just a few days, this squad went from harassing outposts to destroying small supply points, and now... directly breaching and completely destroying an important supply station heavily guarded by elite Jonin.
even……
He even killed Sarutobi Shinnosuke!
This is no longer just a tactical success; it is a serious provocation and a huge blow to the Konoha front and even the entire Konoha!
Tell me the specific details! Tell me everything, down to the smallest detail!
Fugaku forced himself to calm down and pressed for the key questions.
The survivors, suppressing their grief, recounted the entire attack in fits and starts.
The internal personnel were controlled by genjutsu; the eastern defense line was forcibly breached by three young Mist Ninja with astonishing teamwork and powerful Water and Lightning Release techniques; Jonin Kimura was surrounded and killed; and after Shinnosuke and Kazama Gekko went to the central warehouse, the warehouse was emptied and detonated one after another. In the end, the two never came out again in the huge chain explosion...
"By the way, before that, we also received a wounded soldier."
Ryosuke Hyuga, who was standing to the side with his body wrapped in bandages, suddenly spoke up: "It's someone named Makoto Uchiha."
"As chaos ensued, when Shinnosuke-sama and Kazama-sama were heading to the central warehouse, they ordered us all to be on high alert and search for that guy, and then..."
Uchiha Makoto?!
This word struck like a thunderbolt, causing all the arriving ninjas to freeze in shock.
Fugaku suddenly looked at Hyuga Ryosuke, his pupils spinning rapidly with the three tomoe in them.
"Uchiha Makoto, are you kidding me? What are you even saying?!"
Ryosuke Hyuga was startled by Fugaku's sudden burst of power. He quickly steadied himself and recalled, "It was Makoto Uchiha. About half an hour before the attack, he was alone, injured, and staggering from the direction of the southern forest. He said he had been ambushed by an elite Kirigakure squad and had important information to report. He requested to enter the supply station for treatment and to pass on the information."
"His injuries are quite severe; both of his eyes are Sharingan with three tomoe."
"We checked, it wasn't a transformation jutsu, and the Sharingan was real. Later, Kimura-sama and the other two took him to the medical room, and shortly after, a genjutsu rebellion and explosion occurred inside. Shinnosuke-sama and Kazama-sama went to investigate, and then..."
Sharingan, three tomoe.
Illusion control!
Attack!
When these words are put together, along with the orders Shinnosuke later issued, anyone can understand what exactly happened.
Framed!
Fugaku immediately realized this was a conspiracy by Konoha's higher-ups to suppress the Uchiha clan, especially since Shinnosuke was involved.
But the next second, he rejected the idea.
No matter how much they frame the Uchiha, they can't possibly drag Shinnosuke into it.
Shinnosuke's status in Konoha is beyond doubt. He is the true heir of Konoha, and with the support of the Konoha leadership, he is very likely to become the future Fourth Hokage.
Why would someone risk their own son and the future of Konoha to frame the Uchiha when they absolutely need to rely on the Uchiha to fight against Kirigakure?
Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi were out of his mind, he wouldn't do that!
"Uchiha Makoto..."
Fugaku's face turned extremely ugly: "Our clan has never had a three-tomoe clan member named Uchiha Makoto!"
The surrounding Uchiha clan members looked at each other in disbelief, their eyes filled with surprise and doubt.
Although the Uchiha clan has a large population, few of them have awakened their Sharingan, and those who have reached the three-tomoe level are extremely rare.
Each of these individuals is recorded within the clan, and most hold important positions on the front lines or within the village. The sudden appearance of Uchiha Makoto, severely injured and alone at the supply depot, is highly suspicious!
"Could it be... someone impersonating him?"
"Impossible, we've checked, it's an original Sharingan!"
Someone immediately countered, "The Byakugan confirms it's not a transformation jutsu, and the opponent can freely switch their Sharingan on and off; it's definitely an Uchiha!"
Fugaku Uchiha's face was so dark it looked like it was about to drip water.
As everyone knows, transplanted Sharingan cannot be turned off. Just that alone is like mud falling into your crotch—even if it's not shit, it's still shit!
He is not a member of the clan, but he has genuine Sharingan with three tomoe that he can turn on and off at will.
They were even able to precisely create internal chaos in a heavily guarded stronghold like the Cangnan Supply Station, where Byakugan and sensory ninjas were present. By joining forces with Kirigakure, they could destroy the entire stronghold from the inside and outside, and even kill three Jonin, including Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
He didn't even dare to imagine what the higher-ups would think when this news got back to the village!
The Uchiha clan, with its powerful army, colluded with the enemy, betrayed the country, destroyed resources, and plotted to murder the Hokage's son...
