Chapter 549 I want to kill them right now
At this moment, Konoha Village was in an uproar, and people were filled with fear.
The Susanoo was so enormous that the aftershocks of the battle had already alarmed countless villagers.
They emerged from their homes, dressed in pajamas and headscarves, and gathered on both sides of the street, standing on tiptoe, craning their necks, looking towards the Uchiha clan's territory, their faces full of curiosity and trepidation.
The pedestrians on the street were talking and chattering, creating a lively atmosphere like a bustling market.
"What was that sound? It was terrifying, like an earthquake!" A middle-aged woman hugged her child tightly, her face filled with fear, and her voice trembled as she spoke.
"I don't know. It seems to be coming from the Uchiha clan's territory. And that huge phantom, did you see it? It looks like Susanoo, a secret ninjutsu of the Uchiha clan. It seems that the Uchiha clan has clashed with the Konoha leadership again!" An elderly ninja stroked his beard and said with a solemn expression.
"Is another civil war going to break out? So many people died in the last civil war, I don't want to go through that again..." A young woman's eyes reddened, her voice filled with worry and fear.
Just then, a large number of Uchiha ninjas appeared on the streets of Konoha. They were dressed in black Uchiha clan uniforms, with firm eyes and orderly movements.
Some ninjas were scattered throughout the streets, standing in pairs on both sides of the street to maintain order and prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble or bully ordinary villagers.
Another group of ninjas, armed with megaphones, stood in the middle of the street and shouted loudly, spreading the pre-arranged message to every corner of Konoha, again and again.
"Attention, fellow villagers of Konoha! Please be quiet and listen to us!"
"Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, leading dozens of ANBU ninja, just now launched a surprise attack on the Uchiha clan leader. Fugaku Uchiha died on the spot, all the dozens of ANBU ninja were wiped out, Danzo Shimura was captured on the spot, and Hiruzen Sarutobi fled in panic!"
"Our Uchiha clan rose up in revenge and unexpectedly discovered that the Anbu had been using thousands of children from the village as human test subjects for years, employing cruel and inhuman methods... Thousands of innocent children died tragically in the Anbu base, without even a complete body remaining... The Uchiha have decided to expose the secrets of the Anbu base. All Konoha villagers have the right to know the truth... and the right to seek justice for those tragically killed children, making those murderers pay the price they deserve!"
Upon hearing this, the once bustling street instantly fell silent.
The villagers froze on the spot, their curiosity and apprehension instantly replaced by shock.
They were stunned, as if they had heard a fairy tale.
Immediately afterwards, overwhelming anger and panic quickly swept across the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
"What...what? The Dark Guard used thousands of children in the village for human experiments...This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
A middle-aged villager staggered back a step, his legs buckled, and he almost fell to the ground, his face filled with terror, unable to believe his ears.
His child had also been recruited by the secret service a few years ago, but there had been no news of him since. He always thought that his child had died in a training accident.
Hearing these words was like being struck by lightning; he was completely devastated.
"Yes, this must be a lie! How could thousands of children just disappear into thin air? How could there be no news from the village at all? Lord Hiruzen Sarutobi is so gentle, how could he allow such a thing to happen?" another villager shouted, his tone full of doubt, but the panic in his eyes could not be concealed.
"But that's what the Uchiha ninjas said! Although they've always been arrogant and looked down on us ordinary villagers, they don't seem to have ever lied to us over the years... Besides, that earth-shattering battle just now, and that huge phantom, didn't seem fake at all!"
"Our children, those missing children, have they really... really met with some misfortune?"
Upon hearing this, the villagers fell silent. The doubt on their faces was gradually replaced by despair and anger. Cries and sobs gradually rose, becoming more and more numerous and louder, intertwining together in a heartbreaking scene.
Just then, an Uchiha ninja slowly spoke, preparing to reveal more of the truth to the public.
"Fellow villagers, you need not doubt that everything I say is true, without the slightest falsehood. The training department of the Anbu, also known as Root, has been recruiting more than a thousand children from the village under the guise of 'recruiting elite apprentices' for the past ten years or so. Those children are your treasures, the future of Konoha."
"But in the end, only a little over a hundred survived and successfully became Root ninjas. The remaining thousand or so were all used as subjects for human experiments! They always claimed that those children died in training accidents, but in reality, those children were cruelly subjected to human experiments and died in endless pain."
"Because the children's bodies were covered in traces of human experimentation, they dared not return the bodies to the families and could only dispose of them secretly. That's why you can't get your children's remains back!"
He pointed towards the Forest of Death, a hint of grief and indignation in his voice: "Look, everyone, in the distance, in the Forest of Death, the place where the fireworks signal is going off is the Anbu base! Right now, our Uchiha clan has already captured the base and wiped out the Anbu ninjas there."
"Fellow villagers, relatives of those who have lost children, you are all welcome to go there to seek the truth and see what those murderers did to our children!"
After those words were spoken, no one questioned them anymore.
Countless villagers rushed towards the Death Forest like madmen.
Their faces were streaked with tears and despair as they called out their children's names repeatedly, their grief and anger echoing through the night sky of Konoha.
Among them are many families who have lost their children and have been searching desperately for years without success. In their hearts, there is only one thought: to find their children, to find out the truth, to avenge their children, and to make those murderers pay for their crimes in blood!
The first group to arrive at the Root base were a group of strong ninjas, most of whom also had children, and were filled with anger and trepidation.
Outside the base, the corpses of many Root ninjas were scattered. Some were decapitated, some were burned to a crisp by ninjutsu, and some had ninja swords stuck in their chests. Blood stained the ground, forming a dark red pool of blood. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and disinfectant, which was pungent, unpleasant, and nauseating.
But they didn't stop, and didn't even glance at the corpses before rushing into the base.
They were eager to find out the truth and to know what kind of torture those children had suffered.
Upon entering the base, the scene before them froze them in place, their blood seemingly freezing.
The corridors of the base were lined with countless glass bottles, neatly arranged and stretching as far as the eye could see.
The bottle was filled with clear formalin liquid, and soaking in the liquid were all sorts of human organs, including hearts, livers, eyes, kidneys, and even tiny hands and feet. It was a shocking and horrifying sight.
Each bottle had a white label with the child's name, gender, age, and the name of the organ being soaked clearly written in black ink, as if these were not living, breathing people, but just ordinary experimental subjects.
"Inoue Nana, female, 7 years old, organ: heart..." A ninja reached out with trembling hands, wanting to touch the bottle. As soon as his fingers touched the cold bottle wall, he couldn't help but pull his hand back, and tears streamed down his face.
"Senju Tatsumi, male, 6 years old, organ: kidney..."
"Ichiro Sato, male, 8 years old, organ: liver..."
Label after label, bottle after bottle, like sharp knives, pierced the hearts of everyone present.
They remained silent, not uttering a word, yet tears streamed down their faces, falling softly to the ground.
His face was etched with anger, grief, despair, and a profound sense of powerlessness...
They never imagined that Konoha's Anbu could be so cruel. Those innocent children, those naive and ignorant little ones, suffered such terrible torment, unable to find peace even in death, but instead imprisoned forever in glass bottles in such a tragic way.
Soon, the families of the children who had lost their children arrived at the base. When they saw the bottles labeled with their children's names, they could no longer hold back and broke down in tears. Their cries were heartbreaking and distressing.
They rushed forward, wanting to hug the bottles, wanting to take the child's "remains" home, wanting to give their child a proper burial, but were stopped by the Uchiha ninjas standing guard nearby.
"Dear family members, I'm sorry, please calm down, I beg you, please calm down."
A Uchiha ninja spoke in a heavy voice, his eyes filled with sympathy and grief. He looked at the family members who were breaking down in tears, and his heart ached as well, but he still forced himself to speak slowly.
"These bottles are evidence of the crimes committed by Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and others. They are irrefutable proof of their cruelty to innocent children and are the only basis for us to seek justice for the children. They cannot be moved or taken away easily."
"Once we've wiped out their remaining forces, killed Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, and avenged all the children, we'll definitely return these bottles to you so you can properly bury your children and let them rest in peace, okay? You must also want to personally seek justice for your children and make those murderers pay the price they deserve, right?"
Upon hearing the words "revenge," the family members who had been breaking down in tears gradually calmed down. They wiped the tears from their faces, forcefully wiping the corners of their eyes with their sleeves, and the grief in their eyes was gradually replaced by overwhelming anger.
They clenched their fists tightly, their teeth chattering, their bodies trembling violently, their nails digging into their palms and drawing blood, but they didn't care at all.
"Yes...revenge...we must avenge our children!"
A mother who had lost her daughter stared intently at the bottles with murderous intent in her eyes, as if she wanted to devour the murderers alive.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, you beasts, I'm going to kill you! I'm going to make you pay for your crimes in blood, and make you taste the pain of losing a child!" A middle-aged man roared, his voice echoing through the corridor, filled with boundless hatred.
Suppressing their grief, they slowly retreated and voluntarily walked out of the root base... They knew that only by preserving this evidence and bringing those murderers to justice could they truly seek justice for their children, allow those tragically deceased children to rest in peace, and let them close their eyes in peace in the afterlife.
Outside the base, more and more villagers gathered, forming a huge crowd. They looked at the people who came out of the base with tears and anger on their faces, saw the glass bottles that were vaguely visible inside the base, and listened to their cries and roars. Their anger grew stronger and stronger.
Like a volcano about to erupt, it could erupt at any moment.
An Uchiha ninja stood on a high place, stepping on a huge rock, looking at everything in front of him with a heavy tone.
He spoke slowly, but every word was filled with deep grief, indignation, and resentment.
"Fellow villagers, fellow family members, you entrusted your children to the training department of the Dark Guard because you wanted them to learn skills, have a bright future, escape mediocrity, become strong protectors of the village and their families, and live a better life."
"But you never imagined that you were sending your children not to heaven, but to hell."
"The Dark Guard, on which you placed so much hope, is not a place to cultivate strong individuals, but a slaughterhouse to harm the innocent!"
"I can't imagine whether those young children, when they were being vivisectioned, were crying out... 'Mommy, Daddy...it hurts...' or crying out... 'Mommy, Daddy...I hate you...'"
"I can't imagine whether they were filled with fear or despair in their last moments... I can't imagine how helpless they felt while they were being tortured, how much they longed for someone to save them, how much they longed to see their parents one last time..."
These words struck like a heavy hammer, shattering the last line of defense in everyone's hearts.
The pent-up anger finally erupted at this moment.
Countless villagers and ninjas, raising their weapons—some with ninja swords, some with hoes, some with kitchen knives—roared wildly toward the Sarutobi clan's territory, their roars filled with boundless hatred, echoing through the night sky and lingering for a long time.
"These beasts... I'm going to kill them!"
"Hiruzen Sarutobi deserves to die... Danzo Shimura deserves to die!"
"The Sarutobi, Shimura, Utatane, and Mito clans all deserve to die... They all deserve to be buried with those children who died so tragically!"
"I want revenge... I want revenge for the children... Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Angry roars, cries, and the clanging of weapons mingled together, forming a powerful torrent that swept towards the Sarutobi tribe's territory.
