"There must be no mercy for traitors. I recommend exterminating the Sarutobi, Shimura, Mitokado, and Mito clans."
Clan Head Hatake Nobuhiro declared loudly.
From Tsunade's reaction, it was clear that the rumors were true — the four clans had betrayed Konoha and allied with the forces behind the underground black market.
Given the long-standing hostility between the Hatake and Sarutobi clans, Hatake Nobuhiro naturally wouldn't miss such a golden chance to strike his enemies while they were down.
"I agree — traitors deserve no leniency."
"Same here."
One after another, clan leaders and elite jonin among the commoner ninjas voiced their agreement. None of them could tolerate betrayal.
Tsunade and Jiraiya frowned. They didn't echo the call for blood, but neither did they oppose it.
The evidence of the Sarutobi, Shimura, Mitokado, and Mito clans' betrayal was undeniable. There was no excuse to defend them — even for the Legendary Sannin.
And with the clans' leaders and elite ninjas enraged, even the Sannin's words would have no power to stop the storm.
"Shisui was discovered and exposed while investigating the underground black market," said Uchiha Fugaku. "We must act quickly before the four clans flee and vanish."
"Also," he continued, scanning the room, "our investigation found that certain officials and factions within the Land of Fire have colluded with the black market. I plan to eliminate them along with the underground networks."
With that, Uchiha Fugaku began issuing purge orders.
Moments later, squads of ninjas disappeared from Konoha, teleported away through Fugaku's space techniques.
Some headed toward the Sarutobi clan's territory.
Some targeted the black market branches across the Land of Fire.
Others set out to execute corrupt officials tied to the criminal networks.
Konoha had moved.
Shhh—
Near the Sarutobi clan's village, Shisui's first spore clone appeared with a group of elite Uchiha.
They surrounded the entire area before the Sarutobi clan even realized what was happening.
Apparently, the Sarutobi had received no warning. They didn't yet know their treachery had been exposed.
Although the disappearance of "vessel" members should have alerted their allies in the Kara organization, the response hadn't come fast enough.
"Uchiha Shisui! What is the meaning of this? Why is your clan surrounding the Sarutobi?"
The Sarutobi clan head shouted furiously at the clone disguised as Shisui.
He knew of the hatred between the two clans, but even he hadn't expected the Uchiha to dare such an open assault — even with Fugaku now serving as the Fifth Hokage.
Not even the Hokage had the right to destroy a clan without solid justification. How could they dare?
"The Sarutobi clan betrayed Konoha and sided with the black market. By order of Lord Hokage, we are here to eradicate you."
The first spore clone's voice was cold and flat.
Though still injured, his combat strength remained formidable — enough to lead the attack.
The Sarutobi leader's face paled at first, then twisted in anger.
"Lies! You're framing us!"
Indeed, they had defected to the black market. He had no idea how the Uchiha had learned of it, but denying it was his only chance.
"Framing you?" Shisui sneered. "Then tell me—who were the people who left your compound just a few hours ago?"
The clan head froze. His heart sank like a stone. They had proof — they had seen the secret exchange with the black market's agents.
"Attack!"
At that point, whether the Sarutobi admitted it or not no longer mattered.
Shisui waved his hand.
The Uchiha unleashed their Sharingan, eyes glowing crimson, killing intent as cold as ice.
Some stayed back to block any escape routes; the rest charged into the village.
They had longed for this moment — vengeance for years of resentment.
"Aah! Aahhh!"
The screams echoed. The Uchiha elites tore through the Sarutobi defenders with ruthless efficiency.
"Uchiha Shisui! I'll kill you!"
The Sarutobi clan head roared. His aura exploded, reaching Kage-level intensity. His sleeves tore apart, revealing two gleaming metal arms.
He had undergone scientific modification — his arms transformed into ninja tools capable of unleashing Fire Release jutsu without hand signs, with power surpassing elite jonin.
Boom—
Jets of flame erupted from his palms, instantly turning the battlefield into a sea of fire.
"As expected, he's been modified… Susanoo!"
The first spore clone was unsurprised. The black market would never recruit without offering rewards.
He activated Susanoo, its massive form shielding him from the raging inferno.
The flames were fierce — easily Kage-level — but they couldn't pierce Susanoo's defense.
Though still weakened from earlier battles, the clone's chakra reserves, reinforced by the Yin Seal, were more than enough.
After a fierce struggle, the Sarutobi clan head fell beneath the clone's blade.
His strength — merely that of a normal Kage — was no match for the superior might of Shisui's clone.
The Sarutobi clan was annihilated. Not a single survivor remained.
Had the true Uchiha not arrived in this world, their own clan would likely have shared the same fate.
Knowing this, the clone showed no mercy.
While Shisui's clone and the Uchiha slaughtered the Sarutobi,
Uchiha Sasuke led another strike team against the Mito clan,
a second spore clone attacked the Mitokado clan,
and Hatake Kakashi, leading the Hatake ninjas, surrounded the Shimura clan.
After all, it had been Shimura Danzō's schemes that once drove Konoha's White Fang to suicide — the Hatake clan's hatred was deep.
They had personally requested to carry out the Shimura purge.
The purges erupted across the Land of Fire almost simultaneously.
Faced with Konoha's overwhelming power — one of the Five Great Shinobi Nations —
the four traitorous clans, the underground black markets, and their allied officials were completely eradicated.
