Flowing Water of Konoha

Early the next morning, the news about the massacre of the Uchiha clan was leaked out from nowhere.

The news spread throughout Konoha at an unimaginable speed, and the Uchiha clan, a famous family in Konoha, was wiped out overnight.

How funny this thing seemed, no one believed it at first, until teams after teams of ninjas wearing animal masks walked through the streets of Konoha.

At this time, the villagers of Konoha began to panic. If the Uchiha could be wiped out overnight quietly, then where else in Konoha would be safe.

Unlike ordinary villagers, the heads of various families in Konoha immediately held a family meeting after learning the news.

In the Hyuga Family Conference Hall, Hyuga Hizu initiated a family meeting as soon as he learned the news.When the elders of the family arrived, he said to Rizu with a solemn expression:

"Dear clan elders, the Uchiha clan has been exterminated, and the only survivor is Uchiha Sasuke."

The clan elders looked at each other for a while, as if they couldn't believe what they heard.

"Clan leader, the Uchiha are a ninja clan that is on par with our Hyuga clan. How could it be possible that the clan was wiped out without a sound." One of the oldest clan elders said with some trembling.

"Yes!...Yes!...This is impossible!...This is absolutely impossible!" Other clan elders on the side also echoed.

"I don't believe it either, but early this morning the Anbu informed me of this with a handwritten letter from Lord Hokage... I also sent the jounin of the family to check, and it's time to come back." Hinata Hizashi said with a solemn expression.

Five minutes later, a Hyuga ninja wearing a Konoha forehead protector came to the conference hall and saluted one by one and said tremblingly:

"Lord Clan Leader, when I arrived at the Uchiha clan's land, there were no corpses inside. There were traces of dried blood everywhere in the clan's land. It is basically certain that the Uchiha clan has been exterminated."

Hinata and Hiashi's emotions were very complicated. They were both happy that the Hyuga clan had become the largest clan in Konoha, and also fearful of what happened to the Uchiha clan.

Being able to silently wipe out the Uchiha clan overnight was only possible with the acquiescence of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The Akimichi family, Nara family, and Yamanaka family also received the information one after another, and the heads of the three families gathered together to discuss the matter.

Akimichi Choza: "Shikaku, what do you think about this matter?"

Nara Shikaku: "Hokage-sama is old and is no longer the ninja hero."

Yamanaka Kaiichi: "Shikaku, what should we do next?"

Nara Shikaku: "Wait!..."

Hokage Building, Hokage Office Sarutobi Hiruzen was surrounded by smoke, making it difficult to see his face.

With a loud "bang", the Hokage's office was kicked open from the outside.It was Shimura Danzo who took the other two Hokages to assist Mito Monobu and Koharu Koharu.

"Danzo, you disappoint me so much!" Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice came faintly from the smoke.

Shimura Danzo, Mito Kadenen, and Koharu Koharu, why do the plots look a little wrong?

"Danzo, who asked you to privately exterminate the Uchiha clan without my order!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a stern tone.

"Hiruzhan, I didn't kill Uchiha alone. Uchiha Itachi did all this alone." Shimura Danzo said with a proud face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Danzo, without the participation of your root ninjas, is it possible for Uchiha Itachi alone to wipe out the Uchiha clan silently and with his own ability?"

Shimura Danzo: "Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Uchiha clan are all evil. They have already rebelled against the village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Duanzo, how could the Uchiha rebel against the village without you instigating it!"

Shimura Danzo: "Hiruzen...I am only completing what the teacher has not finished."

"Shimura Danzo!...I am the Hokage!...Immediately strip Shimura Danzo of his position as Hokage's assistant and disband the root!" Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up from the Hokage chair suddenly.

Compared to yesterday's Sarutobi Hiruzen, he seemed to be ten years older today, with many more age spots on his face, and his eyes were a bit cloudier than yesterday.

When Mito Kado and Koharu, who had gone to bed, saw Sarutobi Hiruzen in this state, their original intention to accuse him suddenly disappeared.

Shimura Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's appearance, and felt a burst of joy in his heart, but he couldn't show it now.

"Hiruzhan! You will regret it! Everything I did was for Konoha!" Shimura Danzo stretched out his bandaged right hand and pointed at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a trembling hand.

With a loud "bang", Danzo Shimura slammed the door and walked out.

"Koharu, go and inform the clan heads of each family to come to the Hokage Building Conference Hall" Sarutobi Hiruzen sat down with a tired look on his face.

In the Hokage Building conference hall, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in the master's chair and looked at the heads of each family.The patriarch of the big family looked calm, while the patriarch of the small family looked panicked.

"Fellow clan leaders, I have found out the matter of the Uchiha genocide. The Hokage assisted Shimura Danzo, suppressed the Uchiha clan everywhere because of his own selfish desires, and finally, together with Uchiha Itachi, destroyed the Uchiha clan in one night." Hiruzen Sarutobi had a serious look on his face.

The heads of the small families were whispering to each other, asking each other for information about the Hokage assisting Shimura Danzo.

The heads of the big families more or less knew that Danzo Shimura was the leader of the root ninja.The root ninja has no past, no future, and no emotions. He only obeys the orders of Danzo Shimura and belongs to the Anbu but not to the Hokage.

"I have ordered that Danzo Shimura be deprived of his position as Hokage Assistant, and that the root ninja be disbanded." After looking at the reactions of the clan leaders below, Hiruzen Sarutobi released a bombshell.

Less than half a day after the bombshell news of the Uchiha genocide in Konoha came out, another bombshell was dropped.

The initiator of the Uchiha genocide was Uchiha Itachi, the genius of the Hokage who assisted Shimura Danzo and Uchiha Ichi.

However, most people don't know who Hokage's assistant Shimura Danzo is, but Uchiha Itachi's name is known to everyone.

Half a month later, the Uchiha genocide gradually subsided among the villagers.

Kamikawa Liuyun stayed at home for an extra half month because of this incident.Liu Shui also ate his parents’ dog food during this half month.

At Konoha School, Ryushui and Akira came to the classroom together.Finally, no one in the classroom today was talking about the genocide of the Uchiha clan.

Liu Shui sat directly on his seat, took out his notepad and turned to the latest page. He saw that it said about the possibility of combining thermal weapons with chakra.

At Shangchuan's house in the evening, Liu Shui's family of three were having dinner in the restaurant.Kamikawa Liuyun stopped what he was doing and looked at Liushui who was thinking about something.

"Ah Shui, I remembered yesterday that your grandfather and I went to a forest training ground near the ninja school. Very few people knew about it. Where can you go if you want to train... Staying at home is not considered insurance."

"Okay, dad, I will go and check on you tomorrow afternoon."

After dinner, Liuyun went to Sichuan and handed Liushui a hand-drawn map. The map was very detailed and clearly marked the distance.

After Liu Shui finished his daily training, he took out a hollow iron ball with a diameter of ten centimeters from the room.

He held up the iron ball with his right hand, and chakra entered the iron ball through his right hand. However, because there was no chakra metal involved, it was very difficult for chakra to enter the iron ball.

The flowing water increases the input of chakra, and the inside of the iron ball is gradually filled with chakra.The running water controls the chakra in the iron ball to move irregularly, and gradually the sound of chakra friction inside the iron ball can be heard faster and faster.
