Among them was a child with short black hair, black pupils, long eyelashes, and exquisite facial features very similar to the woman beside him, who was looking at the direction of the Village with a worried expression.
This child was Uchiha Fugaku's son, Uchiha Itachi, and the woman beside him was naturally his mother, Uchiha Mikoto.
"Mother, will Father and the others be alright?" Uchiha Itachi asked.
"They will be. Your father is very strong, after all."
"But isn't the Nine-Tailed stronger? Shodai(1st)-sama said it has the power to awe the Ninja World."
Uchiha Mikoto said nothing more upon hearing this, and the child in her arms seemed to be infected by the worried emotions of his mother and brother and began to cry loudly.
Uchiha Mikoto couldn't worry about anything else and quickly comforted the child in her arms: "Sasuke, don't cry. Everything will be fine."
"Swish~" Suddenly, a figure appeared in the Uchiha Clan's shelter.
Everyone present who had Chakra instinctively tightened their grip on their weapons.
"Everyone, don't be nervous! It's me, Uchiha Shisui."
Hearing Shisui's voice, everyone in the shelter breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shisui, how is the situation outside?" Mikoto asked, holding the child.
"Mikoto-sama, please rest assured. En-sama and the Fourth Hokage have joined forces to re-Seal the Nine-Tailed, and the crisis is basically resolved. It's just that there are still some other potential security risks inside the Village, so please everyone stay here for a while longer. Once it is confirmed to be safe outside, I will come to notify everyone."
After saying this, Shisui's figure disappeared.
With Shisui's departure, cheers erupted in the shelter.
The Nine-Tailed had been re-sealed, so they should be safe now.
Uchiha Itachi, however, did not join them in cheering, because he had seen when he entered the shelter that the Village's Anbu were preventing people from the Uchiha Clan from participating in the rescue and resisting the Nine-Tailed.
So, tonight, Uchiha Itachi had been thinking: "Does the Village no longer trust the Uchiha Clan?"
Returning to Uchiha En's side, after the Second Hokage dispelled the Edo Tensei himself, Homura Mitokado had no tricks left to play.
Uchiha En was just about to attack Homura Mitokado, but Asana stopped him.
"Asana?"
"En, you can't kill Homura Mitokado here. With so many Root Ninjas watching, you will get into trouble if you kill Homura Mitokado."
"Then them..."
Asana shook her head and pointed at the Root Ninjas, saying: "She is called Hyuga Shizuka, my cousin. He is called Fu Yamanaka, Kagetsu's cousin. He is called Aburame Muta, Shibi-sensei's nephew. He is called..."
Uchiha En listened and silently put away his nodachi.
These people really couldn't all be killed.
Uchiha En activated his Mangekyo Sharingan and swept his gaze over the crowd. Dozens of Root members and Homura Mitokado fell down, having fallen under a Genjutsu.
Then, Uchiha En and Asana looted Root together.
Over the years, under the indulgence of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Root had collected who knew how many things. There were Ninjutsu and Secret Jutsu from various families, first hokages cells, Wood Release Ninjutsu, the corpses of various Ninjas with Bloodline Limits, and more than a dozen single and Double Tomoe Sharingan. The Three-Tomoe Sharingan should have all been installed on Danzo himself.
Uchiha En copied these things with his Sharingan, and Asana also picked out some things useful to her. They took the rest away, preparing to hand them over to Minato Namikaze.
After finishing all this, Uchiha En and Asana teleported to the place where they fought the Nine-Tailed. He took out the corpses of Danzo and the Root members, activated the second stage of Susanoo, and created the illusion that Danzo and the Root people died at the hands of the Nine-Tailed.
