Chapter 8 - Chapter 8 The retreat begins

"What is the truth behind Rin and Obito's deaths?"

"Was it Hidden Mist Village, or Iwagakure?"

Kakashi had been completely mentally exhausted by Uchiha Tamahiko's words these past two days, constantly thinking about it.

He had figured out that the Mangekyo Sharingan matter was Uchiha Tamahiko's way of having him relay the information to Konoha. Although there was only an 80% chance, he still submitted the report.

After that, he was in charge of monitoring the Uchiha Clan's compound, but his mind was preoccupied with Obito and Rin.

"Captain, you haven't been in good spirits these days. Do you want to rest? I can take over your shift?"

Kakashi's subordinate said to him.

These past two days, they had also noticed that Kakashi seemed to be in low spirits, but the current mission could not be abandoned; even if injured, they had to be on duty!

"It's fine, it will be dawn soon. There won't be much of a problem during the day."

Kakashi shook his head.

He was here for a shift change.

As a captain, he naturally couldn't be lazy.

Especially at this critical moment!

Although it was hard to believe that the Uchiha Clan would go to war with the Village, the possibility meant they had to be prepared.

After all, the lives of tens of thousands of Konoha villagers were in their hands.

"Yes!"

Seeing this, the Anbu Ninja stopped trying to persuade him.

Although the surveillance had been very strict recently, as long as they didn't step into the Uchiha Clan compound, there was no danger.

Both sides maintained restraint, avoiding conflict.

"Could it be that Obito and Rin's deaths are related to Konoha?"

"Otherwise, why wouldn't Tamahiko tell me!"

Kakashi's head was truly about to explode.

He finally speculated that the reason Tamahiko didn't tell him might be that Konoha was involved.

The thought of this possibility made it impossible for him to accept.

"Chirp!!!"

But suddenly, a high-pitched bird-like cry rang out.

Kakashi, who was still deep in thought, was instantly startled awake.

"Could it be!!!"

Kakashi was alarmed.

This was a signal for full combat readiness.

And the sound was very close, clearly related to the Uchiha Clan.

Kakashi didn't hesitate, instantly entering battle mode, pulling up his forehead protector to reveal his blood-red Sharingan.

"This is a barrier!!!"

Kakashi discovered that the Uchiha Clan compound was suddenly covered by a barrier.

This instantly reduced the information his Sharingan could perceive.

The warning was issued by a Hyuga Clan Ninja from the Root.

Although the Hyuga Clan was not officially involved in this matter, there were still Hyuga Clan Ninja present.

Every ten minutes, he would use his Byakugan to observe the situation in the Uchiha Clan compound, but he suddenly discovered the appearance of a barrier that blocked the penetration range of his Byakugan.

The Byakugan, which could originally see through two kilometers, was instantly suppressed to only a few tens of meters.

All Anbu Ninja were tense, preparing for battle.

But inside the Uchiha Clan compound, members of the Military Police Force instantly moved out.

They deployed a large number of Shadow Clones and rushed directly to where the ordinary clan members lived, preparing to evacuate everyone to the central location.

"Has it begun!"

Shisui, alone inside the Uchiha Clan compound, watched the situation outside.

Hearing the commotion, he knew the evacuation had begun.

He had only been told it would be today, not that it would be in the early hours of today.

He felt excluded, but he had no complaints!

"I hope Konoha will be better in the future."

"But today, I will fight for the Uchiha!"

After Shisui finished speaking, he opened his eyes, and his blood-red Three Tomoe Sharingan instantly appeared.

He was responsible for intercepting all Anbu Ninja who entered the Uchiha Clan compound.

Helping him were twenty elites from the Military Police Force.

They directly dispersed, preparing to contain the incoming Anbu Ninja.

The evacuation time was planned for only fifteen minutes; they had to act quickly!

"Move out! This is the moment of the Uchiha's survival!!!"

Uchiha Fugaku was the leader responsible for the elite Military Police Force.

As for the specifics, he had used a transcription seal to cast a genjutsu on these people during a meeting this morning.

The genjutsu had automatically activated half an hour ago, informing them of the specific combat situation.

All the detailed information was held back until the very last moment.

"Yes!!!"

The elites of the Military Police Force let out a roar.

Then, they instantly scattered with Body Flicker Technique, heading to various borders of the Uchiha Clan compound, responsible for containing the Anbu Ninja.

Inside the Uchiha Clan compound, everyone moved into action.

Many members looked in shock at the glowing gate in the very center of the compound.

"Push the ordinary people through this light gate, quickly!"

Next to the gate stood several elders of the Uchiha Clan.

At this moment, they had no other thoughts, only wanting to take more clan members away.

A large number of ordinary Uchiha Clan members were pushed through this light gate.

Over ninety percent of the people didn't know what was happening, but they trusted their clan members not to deceive them.

"Have they arrived!"

Uchiha Tamahiko was in charge of guarding the teleportation gate.

But he had already seen that fire had appeared at the very front!

The sound of exploding paper bombs and the tremors of Fire Release had already begun to appear consecutively!

"You mean, the Uchiha haven't attacked Konoha yet, they've just used a barrier to block the Byakugan's detection?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived near the Uchiha Clan compound within minutes.

However, to guard against Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan ability, he was hidden in a secret underground base.

"Yes, it's just a barrier that blocks detection and sensing. Now the Anbu Ninja have charged in and encountered resistance from the Uchiha Clan."

Nara Shikaku nodded and said directly.

Inoichi Yamanaka, beside him, used his mental power to link with Nara Shikaku, allowing him to perceive the situation on the front lines and explain it.

"How long until the barrier is broken?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned his head and asked an Anbu Ninja beside him.

"It can be broken within a minute,"

The Anbu leader directly stated the specific time.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, then took out a crystal ball and used the Telescope Jutsu to observe.

He found the situation to be very strange indeed.

What were the Uchiha Clan doing inside the barrier?

He had never felt a minute so agonizing.

Suddenly, the crystal ball's image became clear, allowing him to clearly see the situation inside the Uchiha Clan compound.

The Telescope Jutsu could only work within Konoha Village, mainly relying on the defensive barrier covering Konoha to obtain information. Among all the Five Great Villages, only Konoha had such an arm.

"That is!!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi spread his hands, his fingers rapidly flicking to enlarge the image on the crystal ball.

He saw a shocking scene.

A large number of Uchiha Clan members passed through the glowing white distant gate, directly disappearing from Konoha.

"Space-Time Ninjutsu!!!"

"The Uchiha are not going to war, they are escaping!!!"

"Damn it, I've been tricked!!!"

Seeing this scene, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew exactly what was happening.

He stood up directly and roared in anger.
