Chapter 338: Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou [338]
Konoha.
Bathed in moonlight, Konoha Village was unusually peaceful tonight, with its villagers sleeping especially deeply for some reason.
Outside, the rooftops were dotted with flickering shadows—ninja darting about. When a transparent purple barrier suddenly appeared in the heart of the village, the mission for the night was instantly conveyed among all Konoha ninjas.
"The operation has begun!"
The Jonin in charge of the prison turned pale the moment he saw the barrier emerge in the village center. The Chunin behind him were even more shocked.
"Captain! What's going on?"
"Yeah, Captain, from the look of things tonight, besides the Genin, every Chunin and Jonin in the whole village has mobilized. All the departments are present, too."
"There are ninjas everywhere in the streets and alleys—this is even more serious than when the Nine-Tails attacked!"
Faced with his subordinates' exclamations, the Jonin prison warden barked coldly:
"By the Fifth Hokage's order, Konoha is now under maximum alert! The Sarutobi, Mitokado, and Utatane clans conspired with Danzo of Root, framed fellow ninjas, and set up the legendary Sannin Orochimaru.
They even conducted inhumane human experiments and were behind the Uchiha clan massacre. Now the evidence is irrefutable—traitor Danzo Shimura has been executed, and the three clans have plotted a coup!"
