Chapter 338: When In A Position Of Strength, Exterminate Them Completely
The night of October twelfth.
Outside the Uchiha Clan Compound, the fox, the golden eagle, flickered down first.
A corpse of an Anbu lay in the bushes.
The corpse’s skull had been cut open, sliced open with sharp steel wire.
The skull was like a bowl, holding the brain matter of the Anbu Ninja.
The killer’s strength was extremely high.
The current Anbu Ninjas’ strength was all quite good, yet without a sound, without any counterattack, the Anbu Ninja had his skull removed without realizing it.
The golden eagle breathed heavily, his fists clenching from time to time.
This method of killing carried a strong warning intent.
Yoru thought to himself, this month he died in the lynx’s hands, he was waiting for the next full moon night to arrive, and also taking care of the infant Yoru Kaze, not wanting to stir up trouble.
But some people actually did such a cruel thing.
Several Anbu flickered down outside the Uchiha Clan Compound, quickly alarming the Uchiha Clan members.
Uchiha Kane, Uchiha Touka, Fugaku Uchiha, flickered into appearance.
Seeing the Anbu corpse in the bushes, Fugaku Uchiha’s mind trembled.
The surrounding atmosphere was oppressively cold and heavy.
The Anbu Ninjas were all wearing masks, but the several Uchiha could sense that the Anbu Ninjas were on the edge of exploding.
The fox had just been promoted to Anbu Deputy Minister, and such a vicious incident of slaughtering an Anbu Ninja appeared inside the village; Fugaku Uchiha didn’t dare imagine what means the fox would use for revenge.
Uchiha Kane probed, saying:
“Fox Vice Minister, which village’s spy is so rampant as to kill an Anbu Ninja inside Konoha Village?”
The golden eagle glanced at the three Uchiha; their expressions showed no flaws, as if they truly were unaware.
The dead Anbu Ninja’s mission was to monitor the Uchiha Clan.
You Uchiha Clan just lightly say it was a spy who killed him?
Yoru said: “Oh? Clan Head Zhong also sees it, that it was killed by a spy from some ninja village?
I don’t know which village’s spy it is, but they actually mastered such exquisite Shuriken Manipulation Technique.
Shuriken connected to steel wire afterward, the steel wire tightened, slicing open the skull.
Doesn’t the Uchiha Clan also excel at the Shuriken Manipulation Technique? I wonder if the Uchiha Clan has any suggestions—which other village excels at this technique so much?”
Uchiha Kane swallowed hard with difficulty, saying:
“Sand Ninja, Sand Ninja puppet masters also excel at steel wire; they use steel wire to make puppets’ nerves, puppets’ mechanisms.
We can’t rule out Mist Ninja either.
Some Mist Ninja imitate Long Sword · Sewing Needle, liking to connect steel wire after thin blades.”
“Oh, as expected of the Uchiha Clan Head, instantly thinking of two enemy village spies who excel at steel wire.” Yoru said:
“I will investigate thoroughly, let the killer’s brain matter also be held in his own skull.”
Watching the Anbu collect the corpse and flicker away, Uchiha Kane brought Touka and Fugaku back to the clan compound.
After entering the clan compound, no matter how good his disguise was, he couldn’t maintain it anymore.
“Touka! Have Uchiha Goka come see me!”
Uchiha Touka went to the house of the Uchiha Goka brothers.
Uchiha Goka was continuously tossing and catching kunai.
Seeing that the visitor was Uchiha Touka, Uchiha Goka was somewhat disappointed.
The Anbu weren’t up to it either, discovering nothing.
Uchiha Touka saw Uchiha Goka’s attitude, somewhat disappointed.
Previously, when Uchiha Goka saw him, he was extremely respectful; for some reason, after going to the Land of Rain once, Uchiha Goka’s temperament became increasingly arrogant.
“Goka, the clan head wants to see you.”
Goka and his brother Tonghuo, the two brothers, came to the clan head’s residence.
Uchiha Kane signaled everyone to stay away from the main hall; he wanted to see Uchiha Goka alone.
Uchiha Kane lowered his voice, almost growling: “Uchiha Goka! What did you do! What exactly did you do!”
Uchiha Goka said indifferently: “Just discovered someone surveilling me and killed him casually.
One genjutsu, one Shuriken Manipulation Technique; that Anbu’s strength was really poor.
People like that can still be Anbu; I see that the Anbu are all trash except for the fox.”
Uchiha Kane had guessed it was Uchiha Goka who did it, but he didn’t understand why Uchiha Goka dared to admit it so boldly.
“Don’t look at me with that incredulous gaze.” Uchiha Goka said:
“Strong individuals all have dignity.
I can’t accept being surveilled; the village has oppressed our Uchiha Clan for too long.
I admit I was somewhat impulsive; when I discovered the Anbu staring at me, I couldn’t control my killing desire.
Now I think it’s pretty good—probe the village’s strength, probe the village’s reaction, collect intelligence for seizing power later.”
Uchiha Kane had a bit of a headache.
In the clan’s history, every Uchiha Ninja who awakened the Mangekyo would undergo a drastic change in temperament.
Without extreme stimulation, one couldn’t awaken the Mangekyo. And extreme stimulation often meant an extreme change in temperament.
Either extremely arrogant, or extremely bloodthirsty, or extremely stubborn.
From three tomoe to Mangekyo, strength would see a qualitative leap—not through years of hardship cultivation accumulating to become a Kage Level Ninja, but suddenly becoming a Kage Level Ninja overnight.
Uchiha Kane had already advised Uchiha Goka once; at this point he felt somewhat fatigued, not wanting to say any more nonsense to Uchiha Goka.
“Goka, aren’t you trying to probe the village’s reaction? In the next few days, you can go around the Hokage Building and Death Forest more, watch the village’s reaction.”
Uchiha Goka was stunned, saying: “I do want to prepare for seizing power, but Death Forest is full of Anbu—that’s not asking for trouble?
Clan Head, your advice is truly interesting. Fine, for a while recently, I won’t go anywhere.”
Uchiha Kane wearily waved his hand, signaling that Uchiha Goka could leave.
Uchiha Goka said:
“Clan Head, we need to be more proactive, must strive for advantage. Otherwise, we’ll end up like the Senju Clan, half-crippled.
The Senju Clan can preserve strength relying on Konoha Hospital; what about us?
Are we going to rely on the Guard Department?
Without absolute military force, the Guard Department will only amplify the conflicts between us and the village high-ranking officials, and the ninja clans, and the Konoha villagers.
Clan Head, the situation is different now. If we don’t accumulate advantage when the clan has the Mangekyo, are we going to wait until the clan weakens later, to be oppressed and nibbled away at by the village high-ranking officials, or even face clan annihilation?
Not exterminating them when we have the advantage is the greatest cruelty to our descendants.”
On the great beam of the main hall, a face emerged.
Yoru was greatly surprised; he didn’t expect Uchiha Goka to have such foresight.
The wisdom of descendants isn’t necessarily reliable.
When you have the advantage, you should strike the enemy hard. If you don’t destroy others’ countries and exterminate their lineages, when the advantages reverse, others will come to destroy your country and exterminate your lineage.
Only by staining your own hands with blood can you ensure your descendants no longer bleed.
Uchiha Goka brought his younger brother back home.
His younger brother Tonghuo asked: “Brother, will the clan head support you? I feel you spoke too impulsively in front of the clan head.”
Uchiha Goka said: “Even within the clan, it’s the strong who become clan head. If he doesn’t listen to me, I’ll just become the clan head myself.”
Late at night.
Uchiha Goka suddenly turned his head, looking toward the wooden wardrobe on the side.
White Zetsu emerged from the wardrobe.
“It’s really not easy; now entering Konoha requires being extremely cautious, must wait until there’s no fluctuation in the underground organic matter network…”
As soon as White Zetsu appeared, his throat was gripped by Uchiha Goka and instantly crushed.
However, another White Zetsu emerged from the wooden wardrobe.
He successively crushed three White Zetsu to death before Uchiha Goka stopped.
These White Zetsu weren’t valuable; they could die casually.
“Lord Madara’s subordinate, what do you want?”
Seeing Uchiha Goka finally calm down, White Zetsu said: “Don’t have such strong hostility toward me; you should thank Lord Madara, not be hostile to me.”
“Thank Uchiha Madara? Thank him for killing my teacher?”
Another White Zetsu was crushed to death by Uchiha Goka.
After a new White Zetsu appeared, it waited a few seconds, and seeing no movement from Uchiha Goka, then said:
“You went to the Land of Rain to chase and kill Lord Madara; couldn’t Lord Madara counterattack?
You lost people because someone sent you to die.
What you should think more about is who sent you to the Land of Rain to find Lord Madara.
To this day, I still can’t understand—over a dozen of you, where did you get the guts to investigate Lord Madara?
If it were Hiruzen Sarutobi bringing a dozen clan head-level ninjas, then Lord Madara might be slightly serious.
You were purely going to die.
Your enemy isn’t Lord Madara, but those who sent you to die.”
Uchiha Goka originally wanted to crush the white-skinned monster in front of him again, but his action became hesitant.
These juniors didn’t know Uchiha Madara’s strength; Hiruzen Sarutobi, over forty, he wasn’t blind to Uchiha Madara—he couldn’t not know Uchiha Madara’s strength?
Hiruzen Sarutobi sending them to the Land of Rain was more to make the Uchiha Clan prove their innocence, prove they had no intention of following Uchiha Madara.
How to prove it?
Did they really have to rip open their bellies to prove they hadn’t secretly eaten ramen?
The Uchiha Clan lost four three tomoe ninjas, and the village high-ranking officials no longer said anything about having the Uchiha Clan continue investigating Uchiha Madara.
Recalling his teacher Uchiha Michi’s miserable death, a nameless fire rose in his heart, wanting to destroy something.
White Zetsu continued: “Lord Madara is not only not your enemy, but your benefactor.
You don’t think that with your talent, you could really awaken the Mangekyo, do you?
It was merely Lord Madara cherishing talent, lending a hand when you received stimulation.
In this world, no one understands the Sharingan better than Lord Madara.
Only Lord Madara has the ability to manifest the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Lord Madara can not only help you awaken the Mangekyo, but also help you enhance the strength of your Mangekyo Sharingan.
You, want to know how to enhance the Mangekyo?”
A desire arose in Uchiha Goka’s heart.
The reason Clan Head Zhong advised him to stay calm was that even awakening the Mangekyo might not make him a match for the village high-ranking officials.
He admitted there were many experts in the village, but if the Mangekyo could become stronger, strong enough to suppress the entire village—would he still need to suffer persecution from the village high-ranking officials?
Uchiha Goka was moved, but he couldn’t easily trust Uchiha Madara’s subordinate.
In the stories he heard as a child, Uchiha Madara was the greatest villain of the entire clan, causing many more clan members to die.
He hesitated, unsure whether to believe the white-skinned monster in front of him.
