Chapter 358 What is the price?

Time passed in a moment of silence.

I do not know how long it has been,

I don’t know if [Xiang] ever had a trace of happiness in his heart.

Fortunately, the mask on my face conceals my truest emotions.

In short,

The rebuke halfway through the sentence became a dead end, and there was no more follow-up.

revenge?

Even if the lives of all ANBU ninjas were blocked, that 'monster' and 'demon' might not be able to be buried.

You must know that in the past, the entire base was mobilized, and Danzo-sama even gave up his identity to personally attack, but they were not able to completely save Uchiha Shisui, who had good intentions.

What's more, what about the madman Uchiha Ara we have to face now?

Although I really don’t want to admit it, even though I really don’t want to admit defeat.

But the fact is,

Uchiha Ara, who awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, is no longer on the same level as them.

Even if they are in ANBU, even if they are the elite of the elite.

But the power he possesses is still as weak as an ant in front of the manifested giant.

And the most ridiculous thing is that the people who molded it and forced it to grow to this point seem to be themselves.

At this moment, the only one who can really contain that madman is the Sandaime Hokage.

But even that adult chose to compromise tonight.

Use the life of [Rock Bird] and [Owl] as apology, in order to appease the angry compromise in that person's heart!

When his thoughts and actions reached this point, he raised his eyes and looked at his former companion [Xiang]. As the person in charge of the ANBU, [Xiang] no longer knew what to say.

The remaining light from the corner of his eyes slightly glanced at the newcomers who were also in the preparation room.

Although everyone is still wearing their own masks,

However, through the windows of those souls, and through their equally overwhelmed attitudes, [Xiang] knew that the impact of tonight's change was not just on [Li], but [Tong Yue].

For the two comrades who were in the same team as the deceased, their beliefs towards other tribesmen were more or less shaken.

【Monitoring the Yondaime's son,】

[Surveillance on ancient families who belong to the same ninja village.]

Such a task,

For a young ninja who wants to make a difference and contribute to Konoha, it is too ridiculous and meaningless.

Of course, the most important point is the Sandaime-sama's attitude towards ANBU members.

He would rather protect the 'little Kyuubi' that everyone scolds, would rather be angry and compromise for his own grandson, rather than die for ANBU and two fearless people without even leaving any bones, [Iwajak], [Owl] said

Any sentence!!

They even let it go and gave the two elites who had silently guarded Konoha for many years the title of master craftsman in their own field.

Such an attitude, such an approach,

Who should they take revenge on?

If we hadn't gone to great lengths to create this farce tonight,

If he hadn't pushed the Uchiha clan into a blind corner,

Will all of this happen?

【Sandaime-sama, what on earth are you thinking about?】

【Anbu, I can’t stand this kind of torture,】

【Konoha cannot afford such a loss!】

internal discord,

The already rising Uchiha Ara was placed on the opposite side,

Such an environment, such a signal,

I'm afraid that the powerful neighbors around me will find an opportunity to take advantage of it!

【You should see these things more clearly than me!】

【Sandaime, Hokage-sama!!】

As his thoughts expanded, [Xiang] began to wail in his heart.

He really couldn't imagine it,

What if one day, the Uchiha clan led by Ara, like their fathers, could no longer bear the oppression from Konoha and chose to rebel.

Faced with such a evil god who left the Fourth Raikage and the Fourth Mizukage helpless for a moment, faced with such a group of clan members who entrusted their lives to the head of their clan and even disrespected the Hokage for the sake of the former, at that time

What kind of horror will Konoha suffer?

If the surrounding neighboring forces, Sunagakure Village, Iwagakure Village, and the Akatsuki Organization, see such an opportunity.

Will the Uchiha then be willing to fight side by side with Konoha, and will they still be willing to protect their homeland that has pushed them to the edge?

[Xiang] I don’t know,

I don’t dare to think about it any more.

Because just imagining such a future made his body and bones tremble and his mind wander.

However, he knew one thing clearly:

The Konoha portal that was split twice was the clearest and most direct signal, a signal filled with real dissatisfaction!

After all, probably no one wants to see their homeland shut them out when they return home.

No one would destroy the gate of his homeland without any reason, let outsiders fall away, and let outsiders laugh, right?

There is only one reason for doing this,

fed up!

What's more, looking back on history,

Konoha was originally created by the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan!

present,

The little princess of the Senju clan left the village with deep disappointment and pain;

Now,

The Uchiha clan, which has been targeted all the way and branded evil, has no retreat...

For a moment, [Xiang] felt uncomfortable both physically and mentally, as if a pair of invisible hands were tightly pinching his neck and suppressing his heart.

It became extremely difficult to breathe and pant.

Think about it this way,

It seems that it is not that group that is wrong,

Rather, he is the one who orders that clan what to do and forces that clan to keep retreating.

However, Uchiha Fugaku's tolerance, compromise, and suppression of the clan in the past did not make others truly feel this.

But the current leader of the Huang clan has given up all patience and puts his own people first!

so,

That's why under this terrifying pressure and the coercion of this terrifying force, he will reflect and search for the root cause of the problem.

"I will report your wishes to the Sandaime-sama."

After a long silence, [Elephant] finally spoke.

It's just that this time, the sharpness and coldness in his eyes when he looked at the two people in front of him had gone away, and even his tone of voice became a little gentler.

After receiving such an answer, [Tong Yue] and [Li], who made the decision to withdraw from the army after sensing the sudden change of attitude of the former commander, couldn't help but feel relieved.

The eyes filled with dissatisfaction also contained a touch of complex emotions, including relief, gratitude, reluctance, and guilt.

Because no matter what the reason is that led them to make such a decision,

But in the final analysis,

This is retreat, this is escape, this is betrayal of the oath sworn when entering ANBU.

"Thank you for causing trouble, Captain [Elephant]."

[Tong Yue]'s voice gradually softened, and a hint of gratitude came out as he thanked her.
