Chapter 240

"I'm sorry, everyone. It was my wrong decision that brought the Uchiha to this state today."

"As the clan head of the Uchiha, the next order I give is the last order of my life!"

"Every member of the Uchiha clan must swear to serve Lord Ishihara for life! You must absolutely never disobey Lord Ishihara's orders!"

"Did you all hear clearly?!"

Fugaku shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice aged and hoarse, utterly desolate.

The Uchiha clansmen were silent, but their hearts were filled with crushing pressure, fury, resentment, and a certain helplessness.

They watched Fugaku in silence.

The glory of the Uchiha made them unable to make that pledge!

Fugaku looked toward Itachi, his eyes full of pleading. "Itachi!"

Itachi took a deep breath, and under Sasuke's incredulous gaze, said with difficulty:

"I swear to serve Lord Ishihara for life! I will never disobey Lord Ishihara's orders!"

Fugaku nodded with relief.

Itachi has finally grown up, even though the process was a little painful.

Then Fugaku looked at the others, calling out names one by one starting with the members of the Police Force.

"Ryota!"

"I swear to serve Lord Ishihara for life! I will never disobey Lord Ishihara's orders!"

"Shinji!"

"I swear to serve Lord Ishihara for life! I will never disobey Lord Ishihara's orders!"

"Hana!"

"I swear to serve Lord Ishihara for life! I will never disobey Lord Ishihara's orders!"

"Ryohei!"

"I swear…"

Under Fugaku's pleading gaze, the Uchiha clansmen, one by one, shouted it out through tears, and then—

Lowered their heads!

Knelt down!

In the end, the entire Uchiha clan fell deathly silent!

Everyone lowered their heads and knelt respectfully before Ishihara!

In the end, Fugaku and Inabi and the others also knelt trembling before Ishihara.

"Lord Ishihara!"

Uchiha Fugaku is dead!

Inabi, Hirako, and that unknown Mangekyo awakener are also dead!

They died kneeling before Ishihara!

The entire Uchiha clan burst into wailing.

In the distance, the battle between the Nine-Tails and the Third Hokage had also reached its most intense point.

Ishihara stood on the rooftop, calmly watching all of this in silence.
