Time flies.
Another two days passed.
Uchiha Shin's days were simple and happy.
He wasn't in the Hokage office listening to Uchiha Tekka's intelligence reports.
He lingered between three women.
Izumi is charming and cute.
Mikoto is mature and elegant.
Yugao is resilient yet submissive.
Each one gave him a different kind of enjoyment.
Additionally, during these three days.
Uchiha Shin had hinted to Hiashi once.
Expressing that he liked Hinata.
At first, Hiashi thought Uchiha Shin had perverted thoughts about the seven-year-old Hinata.
He was about to refuse.
Uchiha Shin saw right through his thoughts and implied it could be after she grew up...
Hiashi immediately had no objections.
He directly agreed to marry Hinata to Uchiha Shin.
After all, in Hiashi's view.
Hinata's talent was lacking.
In the future, he definitely wouldn't choose Hinata as the Hyuga Clan's heir.
But, if he were to place the "Caged Bird" seal on Hinata.
And relegate her to the branch family.
He couldn't bear to do it.
Therefore, marrying her to Uchiha Shin couldn't be more appropriate.
This way, it not only finds a powerful backer for the Hyuga Clan.
It also allows Hinata to escape the fate of receiving the "Caged Bird" seal.
After all, the Hokage's fiancée.
Who would dare place the Caged Bird seal on her?
That wouldn't just be looking down on Uchiha Shin.
It would be fiercely slapping Uchiha Shin in the face.
Uchiha Shin's lingering power from beheading three thousand and annihilating three clans was still there.
Who would dare cause trouble for him at this time?
At least, the Hyuga Clan's main family absolutely would not dare.
On the day of the engagement.
Uchiha Shin, Hinata, and the Hyuga Clan members had a banquet together.
Uchiha Shin not only grew closer to Hinata.
The Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan also reached cooperation in many aspects.
It could be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.
...
Fire Capital!
A few days passed.
The gathered Sarutobi army grew larger and larger.
Following the arrival of the last batch.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke formally handed over the task to Danzo.
"Lord Danzo, the Sarutobi Clan, 1,200 people, are all assembled. Do you wish to inspect them?" Sarutobi Shinnosuke said to Danzo, a trace of fatigue in his eyes.
For several days, he had been running around.
Dispatching batch after batch of clansmen to the Fire Capital.
Then, without stopping, he led the final batch.
He had barely slept.
Naturally, he felt exhausted.
"No need for inspection. I trust you wouldn't deceive me in such matters. After all, this isn't for me, it's for Konoha, and for avenging your father!" Danzo said.
"You are right, Lord Danzo," Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded expressionlessly.
But in his heart, he had already cursed Danzo countless times!
"Shinnosuke, you've worked hard. Go back and rest. Get yourself in top condition quickly. Tomorrow, we move out and counterattack Konoha!" Danzo said deeply.
"Understood!"
"Then I will take my leave."
Shinnosuke replied.
And turned to leave.
Danzo watched Shinnosuke leave.
He immediately waved his hand.
Aburame Ryoma instantly appeared before Danzo.
"Lord Danzo."
"Go check the condition of the Sarutobi army!" Danzo ordered expressionlessly.
The words he just spoke were merely pleasantries.
Danzo didn't trust Sarutobi Shinnosuke at all!
"I don't doubt the numbers, but I fear they are filling the ranks with subpar quality!"
"After all, the Sarutobi Clan has many old people," Danzo said deeply.
"Understood!" Ryoma realized. Lord Danzo was afraid Sarutobi Shinnosuke was using the Sarutobi Clan's elderly to meet the quota. Those old people might have some combat power, but their abilities in all aspects were greatly diminished. If put on the battlefield to clash head-on with the young, they are simply no match for the youth.
After Ryoma left, Danzo also turned and walked towards the Daimyo's mansion.
Daimyo's Mansion.
Council Hall.
"Danzo, this time, you want me to step forward, publicly support you, and denounce the Uchiha?" the Daimyo asked immediately after Danzo bowed.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Daimyo. I must trouble you with what follows," Danzo said.
"I understand!!" the Daimyo replied.
That same day at noon.
A piece of news spread rapidly throughout the Land of Fire.
And then.
It spread throughout the entire world, to every major hidden village.
It was: The Daimyo of the Land of Fire publicly declared: The Uchiha have committed treason and rebellion, their crimes are unforgivable.
Shimura Danzo, Tsunade Hime, Jiraiya, and others are the legitimate heirs of Konoha.
He then appointed Shimura Danzo as the Fifth Hokage, to subjugate the false Hokage Uchiha Shin and the rebellious Uchiha.
Once this news spread.
The entire world was in an uproar.
Cloud Hidden Village.
"Haha!! They're fighting! Danzo and Uchiha Shin are finally going to fight! Haha!! Have my ninja army prepare to attack the Land of Fire and Konoha at any time!" The Fourth Raikage was overjoyed when he heard the news.
Rock Hidden Village.
"No wonder A hasn't made a move these past few days. Turns out, he was waiting for Danzo and Uchiha Shin to have another clash.
He wants to reap the benefits like the fisherman!" Ohnoki realized, after hearing the news.
Sand Hidden Village.
"Hahaha, the chaos of the Annihilation Night isn't over, there's a follow-up! Fight, go on and fight! Fight until you both suffer heavy losses!!" Rasa also laughed excitedly.
The Annihilation Night.
It was not named after the Uchiha clan.
It was named after the destruction of the three Shimura clans.
Konoha!
A conference room
The Hokage, the advisors, the clan heads, and all the Jōnin gathered together.
"The Daimyo is publicly provoking Konoha. You all know about this, yes?" Uchiha Shin said expressionlessly from the main seat.
Hearing this, everyone nodded silently.
"What are your opinions on this?" Uchiha Shin asked coldly.
