"Shisui lost contact?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and asked the ANBU who was kneeling in front of him.
During this period of time, Uchiha Shisui had been monitoring the Uchiha with complete focus.
All outside missions had been stopped to let him focus on his task.
Uchiha Shisui would contact him every day and pass information to the ANBU, but yesterday he didn't get any news from him, and even lost contact with him completely.
"Hiruzen, I told you that the Uchiha people are unreliable."
"Shisui might have chosen the Uchiha. We should have taken him down long ago and taken away his Mangekyō."
"Now that Shisui is gone, who knows if the power of those eyes will be used against us."
Danzo spoke up directly from the side.
It was also what he truly felt.
He never believed in the Uchiha!
In two days, he had been planning to take action to seize Shisui's Mangekyō.
Now that he had this news, he couldn't help but feel angry.
"Maybe Shisui was discovered as a spy by his clansmen, and they caught him."
"It seems that the conflict can't be avoided anymore."
"Recall half of the ANBU from the borders. We will begin to fully monitor the Uchiha's movements."
Sarutobi Hiruzen still pretended to be calm and defended himself.
But what Danzo said about Shisui's Mangekyō ability still made him feel worried.
If memories could really be rewritten, it would be big trouble!
He decided to arrange for an ANBU to pretend to be him during this period, and he himself would hide in the shadows and not appear.
"Monitor?"
"There will be a war!"
"Hiruzen, you're not as sharp as before. Don't hesitate this time."
Danzo just snorted.
It was finally time to take action against the Uchiha.
The Sharingan eyes he needed could also be collected in large quantities!
However, the risk was too great, and Konoha might be seriously hurt.
But secretly, he had prepared a lot and was confident that he could quickly deal with the Uchiha and keep the losses to a minimum.
"We'll be prepared for the worst!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer hesitated at this time.
After all, it was Shisui who lost contact, and those eyes made him feel wary.
According to Shisui's previous behavior, it was almost impossible for him to betray them, so there was only one possibility.
Shisui was discovered by the Uchiha clan, and they took action against him.
A while later, the two elders joined and were briefed.
"Do we need to contact the other families to take action together?"
Koharu spoke up without mercy.
Since they had chosen to take action, they had to do it with everything they had.
Over the years, they had formed various agreements with some families.
"Yes, but be more careful about it."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said without hesitation.
"Yes, let's resolve this matter as soon as possible and release some false news to the outside world to discourage the other five major villages."
Homura sighed, then said.
Such a huge change would easily arouse the greed of other ninja villages and make them choose to attack Konoha.
After all, Konoha occupied the richest land in the ninja world.
Less than eight years had passed since the previous war.
Konoha now doesn't have the Sannin, the Fourth Hokage, and had even suffered the Nine-Tails attack, which could be said to be heavy losses.
They could no longer afford a new war.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also had a dark expression.
He also knew that a war with the Uchiha would be the worst outcome.
But now it seemed there was no such opportunity.

"The village is already hostile to the Uchiha, so there aren't many Uchiha who are out on missions. They have been notified by the Uchiha's ninja beasts to rush back."
Fugaku said to Yamikage in the Konoha Police Building.
If they wanted to take all the Uchiha clan members away, naturally no one could be left out.
However, thanks to Danzo's targeting of the Uchiha, since the Nine-Tails attack, very few members of the Uchiha clan had gone on missions.
Recently it had been even more restricted!
Otherwise, how could Obito and Itachi have wiped out the Uchiha so easily?
Without Konoha's support, this would be impossible.
"The few old stubborn guys are with us; I have convinced them."
"Next, we'll make full preparations for the escape."
Uchiha Yamikage nodded, then said to Fugaku.
"At night five days later, we can take action,"
"We'll let the people leave first, and the elite will handle the rear guard." Fugaku nodded.
There were also hawks in the Uchiha clan.
These people wanted to fight to the end and weren't timid at all.
However, the clan leader and Yami taught them a little lesson and revealed the power of the Mangekyō they held.
Yami also gave his people a map of the Grand Line, showing that the Uchiha would stand on a bigger stage.
It took less than half a day to convince those people.
Currently, no more than ten people knew about the specific plan, but the members of the police force were more or less aware of the situation, and all of them were very excited.
Next, it was time for the Uchiha to unite and work together.
'Things are going good,' Fugaku thought.
These days, he had started to collect money, and was planning to spend it all on the last day before departure to buy a lot of supplies.
After all, many things would be unavailable for a short period of time.
Fortunately, because of the power of the police force, the Uchiha had stored a lot of supplies.
Most of what he planned to buy this time was medicine, and there wasn't much shortage of weapons and the like.
"Yamikage-san, I want you to explain the situation personally to my son. Just like you did with Shisui."
"If he doesn't cooperate, I will then imprison him."
Fugaku said to Yami.
"I see." Yami nodded his head.
"If he resists too strongly, it doesn't matter if you're harsh!" Fugaku already knew that his son was a double agent.
Now that the Uchiha clan had hope, he gave a firm answer.
With the hope of survival, there was no need to sacrifice a large number of clan members to fight with Konoha.
With such an opportunity, even his son had to make a decision at this time.
"Leave him to me," Yami nodded.
Fugaku continued.
"If Itachi loses contact, Konoha would be even more worried and ready to make a full attack at any time."
"Members of the police force can be informed in advance that if an accident occurs, the meeting location will be changed to the ancestral hall."
The place of retreat at that time would not be the ancestral hall, but if there was a sudden attack by Konoha, the meeting point would be the ancestral hall.
Uchiha Itachi was an unstable factor.
In the original story, in the end, he chose to deal with the Uchiha.
Yamikage wasn't sure whether it was because Shisui used Kotoamatsukami on him at the end… the actions he took were just too drastic.
Because of this possibility, Yami had asked to put away Shisui's Kotoamatsukami.
He couldn't afford to gamble on this matter.
