Naruto: Starting as the Third Hokage with Tears in His Eyes

Chapter 16 The Hokage's Sword Only Slays Traitors

Uchiha Kagami's words were like a bucket of ice water poured over his head, instantly cooling down all the restless hearts in the entire Naga Shrine.

The sword of Naruto.

These four words carry immense weight.

It was so heavy that even the previously imposing elders and guards involuntarily took a half-step back.

Uchiha Gentori stared intently at Uchiha Kagami, his facial muscles contorted with rage.

"Uchiha Kagami!"

He practically spat out those words through gritted teeth, "Get your facts straight! You're also an Uchiha! Are you here with outsiders to interfere in our clan's internal affairs? You're betraying the clan!"

"Elder Xuan Niao, I think you've made a mistake."

Uchiha Kagami's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was still gentle, but his words were as sharp as knives. "First, I'm not here to interfere, but to observe. This is the last bit of dignity the Hokage is giving the Uchiha clan, letting us clean up our own mess."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Tie Huo and then over the indignant young clansmen.

"Secondly, who exactly betrayed the family? Was it you, driven by personal lust for power, willing to drag the entire family into the abyss of betrayal? Or was it Tiehuo and the others who stood up to protect the family from destruction?"

"you!"

Uchiha Gentori was so choked up that he couldn't say a word.

He tried to suppress Jing by using his status as a clan elder, but found it to be completely ineffective.

The Uchiha Kagami before them was no longer the junior they could manipulate at will. He represented the will of the Hokage.

What chilled him even more were the ten Uchiha ninjas behind Mirror.

That was Uchiha Tokumitsu and the Hokage's personal guard he led.

The existence of this team is no secret within the clan.

They are elites personally promoted by the Hokage, enjoying the best treatment and undergoing the most rigorous training.

At this moment, these ten people stood silently behind the mirror, like ten statues.

They didn't even draw their swords, but the murderous aura they exuded, honed through countless battles, made all the members of the security forces present feel suffocated.

Ten pairs of Sharingan with three tomoe each rotated in unison, cold, indifferent, and devoid of any emotion.

Their gazes remained fixed on Uchiha Kagami's back from beginning to end.

It was as if, in this world, only Uchiha Kagami's orders were the sole criterion for their actions.

No, to be more precise, it was the Third Hokage's order conveyed by the mirror.

Hiruzen... that Hokage they always thought was too young and too kind, had unknowingly extended his tentacles into the heart of the Uchiha clan.

And yet, they are still acting like fools, plotting a ridiculous impeachment.

"Jing...you...are you really going to become our enemy for the sake of an outsider?" another elder shouted, his voice trembling with fear, as he made his last stand.

"Lord Hokage, you are not an outsider."

Uchiha Kagami shook his head and corrected him, "He is the Hokage of Konoha, the leader of all of us. To be loyal to the Hokage is to be loyal to Konoha, and to be loyal to the future of the Uchiha clan."

"Well said!"

Uchiha Tetsuka loudly echoed, looking at Kagami's back with gratitude and admiration in his heart.

He knew he had made the right bet.

"That's right! We Uchiha are the Uchiha of Konoha!"

"We will not allow anyone to disrupt the relationships between the village and the family!"

The young people of the tribe were inspired by Jing's words and responded enthusiastically, creating a great wave of enthusiasm.

The tide is gone.

Uchiha Gentori felt a chill run through him as he looked at the scene before him.

However, his years of being high and mighty made it impossible for him to accept this fact.

A crazy idea rose in his mind.

Since reasoning won't work, let's solve it using the Uchiha method.

"Uchiha Kagami! Uchiha Tetsuka!"

Elder Xuan Niao suddenly stood up, his eyes instantly transforming into three-tomoe Sharingan, and a powerful burst of chakra erupted from his body.

"You two are traitors to your families! Today, in the name of the Grand Elder, I will cleanse your house!"

He quickly formed hand seals.

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

A gigantic fire dragon roared from his mouth, spewing intense heat, and instantly engulfed Uchiha Kagami and Uchiha Tetsuka, who were standing at the forefront.

He actually dared to make a move.

Everyone was stunned.

In a place like the Nanga Shrine, to kill one's own kind in this way is no longer a simple conflict, but a complete rupture!

Civil war is imminent.

Uchiha Tekka's pupils shrank sharply. He wanted to dodge, but the fire dragon was too fast and covered too wide, making it impossible to avoid.

However, just when he thought he was about to be burned to ashes, Uchiha Kagami's figure appeared in front of him.

Facing the roaring, enormous fire dragon, Uchiha Kagami showed no sign of panic.

"Water Release·Water Formation Wall!"

A towering wall of water rose out of thin air, like a giant blue shield, firmly blocking the fire dragon.

laugh--!

The collision of water and fire produced a large amount of steam, which instantly filled the entire shrine.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene.

Unsealed Ninjutsu.

Moreover, it was a powerful water-style technique that could instantly suppress the Elder's Dragon Fire Technique.

Lord Jing's strength has actually reached this level?

The steam gradually dissipated.

Uchiha Kagami remained standing in the same spot, his clothes completely dry.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Gentori, who was opposite him, was breathing heavily due to the severe depletion of his chakra.

"Elder Xuan Niao, shall we continue?" Jing's voice remained calm.

"You...you..." Elder Xuan Niao pointed at the mirror, trembling with anger.

He couldn't understand why Jing's strength had increased so quickly.

"Stubborn to the end!"

Just then, a cold voice rang out.

It is Uchiha Tokumitsu.

He and the nine team members behind him moved the instant Elder Xuan Niao made his move.

Ten dark figures, like ghosts, vanished from their spot in an instant.

The next second, screams rang out one after another.

Those guards who had just drawn their swords, ready to obey the elders' orders, were subdued in an instant before they could even see the enemy's movements. Their weapons were confiscated, and they were all pinned to the ground.

The movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

This is not even in the same league.

The elite guards were as inexperienced as students at the Ninja Academy compared to these Hokage's personal guards.

"Stop! What do you think you're doing!" Another hawkish elder was both shocked and furious upon seeing this, and was about to form a hand seal.

"Pfft!"

A cold light flashed.

Uchiha Tokumitsu's figure appeared behind him like a ghost, the short sword in his hand already embedded in his back.

The elder's eyes widened in disbelief as he slowly collapsed.

"The Hokage's sword only slays traitors."

Uchiha Tokumitsu drew his short sword, flicked off the blood, and his cold voice echoed through the deathly silent shrine.
