Chapter 666: Uchiha Were Annihilated Five Years Ago

Madara Uchiha heard this, and his gaze swept over the Konoha ninja below.

Indeed, just as Quannai said, not a single Uchiha Clan member was seen!

For a moment, a shadow of gloom flashed in his eyes.

"Houzi, tell me why the Uchiha Clan didn't come to aid?"

Huidu Feijian's face looked a bit sour.

The Konoha Village faced an extermination crisis, yet no Uchiha came to help.

Have those guys become so lawless to this degree?

"Houzi, what exactly happened?"

Qianshou Feijian noticed the unnatural expression on Yuanfei Rizhan's face and instantly felt an ominous premonition.

The matter doesn't seem as simple as imagined...

And it's not only the Uchiha; he also didn't sense the Senju people's chakra.

It seems this timeline has undergone a remarkable change!

"Old bastard, I need you to give me an explanation."

Yuzhibo Quannai coldly looked at Yuanfei Rizhan.

The Uchiha have been a great clan since the Warring States Period, yet after joining Konoha Village none of their members appear.

He smelled a whiff of conspiracy.

Although they're not the Uchiha of his own timeline, his feelings for the clan remain!

Quannai, unlike Madara, often returned to the clan after his resurrection.

"This... that..."

Facing the questioning of several people, Yuanfei Rizhan stammered, never daring to reveal the truth.

If it were only to tell the First and Second who emerged from Huidu, there would be no problem.

But on the scene were Madara Uchiha and Yuzhibo Quannai, plus two other Firsts and Seconds whose backgrounds were unclear.

If he were to speak the truth, he felt Yuzhibo Quannai would unswervingly draw his Ninja Sword and slash at him.

He had thought that driving away Orochimaru had resolved the village's crisis.

But now it seems the crisis hasn't been lifted...

"Ri Zhan, what on earth are you doing?"

At that moment, several ANBU-clad ninjas cleared the way, and Zhi Cun Tuan Zang walked forward with a grim face.

"Why did you let Orochimaru escape?!"

The angry accusation rang out before anyone arrived.

He learned from Root about Orochimaru's invasion of Konoha, yet ordered Root to hold fire and make no plans for support.

He simply wanted to watch master and disciple turn on each other, preferably killing Ri Zhan in battle.

In that case, he could rightfully become Hokage!

Unfortunately, his scheme fell through, and Root ninja came to report.

Orochimaru left the village, and the Third Hokage did not die.

So he stormed in with Root ninja to question, aiming to make Ri Zhan lose the people's trust before everyone.

Only when Zhi Cun Tuan Zang drew near did the questioning words fail to come out.

Beside Ri Zhan stood two Firsts, two Seconds, and... Madara Uchiha!

Wait, did I fall under Orochimaru's genjutsu?!

There are two First Hokage and two Teacher Feijians!

That's right, I must have been silently genjutsu'd.

"Are you Tuan Cang?"

Qianshou Feijian stared at the suddenly appearing bandaged man, his brows subtly furrowing.

It seems this timeline's Tuan Cang has completely gone astray.

Fortunately that kid didn't come, otherwise it would have been unbearable.

"Teacher Feijian!"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang instantly straightened, his gaze inevitably falling on the two Teacher Feijians.

"You arrived just in time; tell me why the Uchiha didn't come to aid?!"

Huidu Feijian forced down his anger and asked.

He always thought the Uchiha were an unstable factor, surely they deliberately watched the village be destroyed!

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang: "..."

The Uchiha Clan was annihilated years ago.

Teacher Feijian having them come to support the village—what else but deliberately picking a fight?

He only dared to think those words in his heart, never daring to speak them.

If he were to speak up, the Uchiha's annihilation is inseparably linked to him...

Of course, that Ri Zhan fellow also can't think he's above it all!

"I asked you a question."

Yuzhibo Quannai, losing patience, activated his Kaleidoscope Sharingan and said coldly,

Seeing the two stammer, he felt a bad premonition.

Huidu Feijian also realized the situation was off.

If it were Uchiha clan members seeing death and not helping, Houzi and Tuan Cang wouldn't react like this.

Could it be that something has happened to the Uchiha?

Under the pressing of Yuzhibo Quannai and Hui Tu Feijian, Sarutobi Ri Zhan was the first to buckle under the pressure.

"Teacher… the Uchiha were exterminated five years ago."

Having said that, he seemed to have all his strength drained.

Meanwhile, Zhi Cun Tuan Zang silently stepped back a bit, fearing that the enraged Yuzhibo Quannai would draw his Ninja Sword and slash him.

If forced to use Izanagi then, there would truly be no way out but death.

Now he can only have Ri Zhan draw attention for him, after all, who made him the Hokage?

If he's cut down, I can rightfully become the Fifth Hokage.

"You bastard, what are you saying?!"

Yuzhibo Quannai drew his Ninja Sword and slashed mercilessly at Sarutobi Ri Zhan; fortunately, Madara Uchiha caught his wrist, preventing the blade from hitting Ri Zhan.

"Quannai, calm down."

After noticing that there were no Uchiha Clan's Members in the village, he vaguely guessed the outcome.

Those foolish guys were deceived by the illusion of temporary peace.

Falling to this state can only be said to be self‑inflicted!

Since he left Konoha alone, he has had nothing to do with those so‑called clan members.

Otherwise he wouldn't be staying in Hashirama's house…

"Brother, the clan was annihilated!"

Yuzhibo Quannai almost wanted to kill Sarutobi Ri Zhan, the Third Hokage of Konoha Village.

The extermination of the Uchiha must be linked to him!

"Qianshou Feijian, is this the disciple you trained?!"

Then, Quannai angrily looked at Hui Tu Feijian, who fell silent.

He indeed kept guard against the Uchiha, but never thought of killing them.

He never expected Ri Zhan to take such extreme action!

"The Uchiha attempted a coup; for the safety of the village, I had no choice but to act this way."

Sarutobi Ri Zhan did not deny it, nor did he try to shift blame onto Tuan Cang.

Now that it has come to this, this Hokage cannot shirk his guilt; whether to kill or spare, he will obey your wishes.

A flash of shock crossed Zhi Cun Tuan Zang's eyes.

He hadn't expected Ri Zhan not to shirk responsibility, but to take the whole matter upon himself.

But soon, he was overwhelmed by immense joy.

If Ri Zhan accepts this, even if he doesn't die, he can no longer continue as Hokage.

It should be known that the extermination of the Uchiha was always publicly attributed to Itachi Uchiha's hand, having no connection with the village's higher‑ups.

But now that Ri Zhan admits it, he has lost prestige and the people's trust, and certainly cannot remain Hokage.

Then Zhi Cun Tuan Zang would have a chance to become the next Hokage!

"Damn you, you must have deliberately framed the Uchiha!"

Yuzhibo Quannai didn't buy Ri Zhan's excuse.

He believes the village has constantly marginalized the clan, causing the members to harbor resentment and think of rebellion!
