"This? What happened here?"
Uchiha Sasuke looked at everything in front of him, constantly shaking his head, murmuring to himself.
This?
What's going on here?
He had just returned from school—how could there be such a big change in the Uchiha clan?
What happened to the clan?
Did someone ambush the clan?
But on his way home from school, everything was peaceful, there were no signs of anything unusual!
What is going on here?
Genya's clone followed behind Sasuke, his eyes turning cold as he took in the scene.
Not to mention anything else, Uchiha Itachi really went that far. Clan members were either dead or severely injured, and it seemed like dozens of Root ninjas had rampaged through the area!
This night was truly brutal!
However, he clenched his fist for a moment before letting it go.
The brutality of this situation was actually within his expectations. The Uchiha clan had been too peaceful for too long; some death was needed to wake them up.
If he had revealed the plan of Konoha earlier, only a small number of people would have left the village with him!
The civilians who longed for peace wouldn't have believed Genya either!
Moreover, Konoha wouldn't allow a large-scale departure of the Uchiha clan members. That's why he had planned ahead, doing everything he could to preserve the Uchiha clan.
Of course, the first priority was to protect the Merchant Association, then the entire clan.
Now, it seems the damage to the Uchiha clan was entirely within Genya's acceptable range.
Cough, cough
Just as the two of them were stunned, a blood-soaked figure staggered out of the Police Force department's building, blood dripping from his body as he walked.
But,
He was still desperately trying to walk out!
"Uncle Hiro!"
Uchiha Sasuke saw the man and immediately rushed over, crying as he tried to help the injured ninja.
Genya also recognized this ninja, Uchiha Hiro. He seemed to be the leader of the Police Force squad.
A few years ago, he had come with Fugaku to ask for help to attack the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas, but Genya had turned down the request.
Who would have thought...
He managed to survive some of the attacks.
Boom~~
But just as Uchiha Sasuke reached Uchiha Hiro, he was thrown back, his body slamming into the ground. Uchiha Hiro glared at him furiously: "Get lost. I don't want to see you, you murderer's brother!"
He had been close to Sasuke before, but after seeing Itachi personally kill his comrades, he couldn't suppress his rage anymore.
They had trusted Fugaku so much, but in the end... they were slaughtered by Itachi.
How could Uchiha Hiro not feel heartbroken?
And...
Itachi clearly had planned the massacre of the entire clan.
What's worse, Fugaku hadn't even stepped forward to help. Hah, Fugaku was just a coward!
He hated the whole Uchiha clan now, and even young Sasuke was hated by him.
"Uncle Hiro, what's wrong? It's me, Sasuke..." Sasuke collapsed on the ground, still in disbelief.
Murderer's brother?
He thought maybe Uchiha Hiro had been heavily injured and mistaken him for someone else.
"Yes, I'm talking about you."
Uchiha Hiro's voice turned cold as he lifted his bloodied hand and pointed at Sasuke. "Your brother, Uchiha Itachi, massacred our entire Police Force squad. I was the only one lucky enough to survive. So, are you here to kill me too? You, murderer's brother!"
"We were so loyal to your father... and what happened in the end? We all ended up dead?"
Cough cough.
Uchiha Hiro seemed to have found an outlet for his anger. He glared at Sasuke, berating him endlessly.
In the heat of his fury, he even coughed up some blood.
His movements became even more staggered.
He swayed back and forth, as if he might fall at any moment.
"No, it's impossible. My brother would never kill our clan!" Sasuke Uchiha shook his head vigorously, clutching his head. He refused to believe what Uchiha Hiro said.
His older brother had always been so kind to him. How could he massacre their clan?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
He couldn't believe Itachi Uchiha would ever do something like that.
"If you don't believe me, go see for yourself!" Uchiha Hiro said, then pointed to the distant battle where the Susanoo was fighting.
"That Susanoo over there is your brother's, and if you don't believe it, go ask him. He's the one slaughtering our clan!"
When Uchiha Hiro looked at Susanoo, his eyes were filled with even more anger.
"Brother?" Sasuke Uchiha was stunned but still looked toward Susanoo.
It couldn't be, Uncle Hiro must have seen it wrong.
Thinking this, he quickly started running toward Itachi's direction. He wanted to see the truth for himself.
"He's already gone berserk. Maybe he'll even kill you!" Uchiha Hiro sneered as he watched Sasuke's back. "He's a traitor to the Uchiha clan. Hmph!"
After saying that, Uchiha Hiro spat out blood, and he felt his vision go dark. He stumbled backward, about to collapse.
Genya's clone rushed forward to catch Uchiha Hiro, using his Dual Pupil to inspect his injuries. Most of them were external wounds, and the blood loss was mainly from his internal injuries.
Even though his injuries weren't fatal at the moment, they were serious. If not treated in time, he could bleed to death.
Using Healing Jutsu, Genya temporarily sealed the bleeding wounds and sent some chakra to stabilize his life force.
Now, they would just have to wait for Uchiha Hospital to send someone to treat him once everything was over.
"You're Genya?" Uchiha Hiro's vision seemed blurry. He trembled as he grasped Genya's hand. "I'm sorry, I've always opposed the merchant association, and now you're the one who's saving me."
He had seen Uchiha Shin and Uchiha Fūrin coming to support with black-clad ninjas, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
He never expected that the people he trusted, Fugaku and his son, would want to kill them. But in the end, it was the Police Force, the one he had always disliked, who came to their rescue. Looking back, it seemed they had trusted the wrong people.
"We are all Uchiha. You rest, everything will be over soon." Genya's clone calmly reassured Uchiha Hiro, before heading into the Police Force's headquarters.
Inside, it was a bloody scene.
However, he still found five of the clan members who had a faint chance of survival. They were barely holding on, hanging by a thread, and could die at any moment.
It was possible that their anger toward Uchiha Itachi kept them going, refusing to give up despite everything!
Genya moved forward, providing medical aid to each of them, helping them cling to life.
Once everything was done, he turned to these people and said, "If you want revenge, then fight to survive!"
After those words, Genya noticed that their vitality seemed to grow stronger.
He had done everything he could. Now, it was up to their will to live and their fate.
He hoped they could survive. These were the elite of the Uchiha clan, and if they lived, they would become the pillars of the clan's future.
After speaking,
He headed toward the direction of Susanoo.
"It's not true!"
"It's not true!"
Uchiha Sasuke ran forward, repeating those words over and over.
He couldn't believe what Uchiha Hiro had said—that his older brother wouldn't massacre the clan. But along the way, seeing the bloody corpses of his clanmates, his emotions began to break down.
Finally, he arrived in front of Uchiha Itachi!
Looking at the enormous Susanoo and the figure of Itachi within, he couldn't help but shout, "Brother."
