Chapter 108 - Announcing Koharu and Homura's Crimes

They looked at the Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi clans behind him.

An Akimichi clansman stood slightly off-center, seemingly not standing with the Uchiha, and was hurriedly pulled over by people from the Nara and Yamanaka clans.

Facing the calm gaze of the Uchiha clan, he chuckled incessantly, hurriedly whispering an explanation, "His mind is just full of food, it wasn't intentional, really not intentional."

This made the Jonin somewhat panicked.

Why were the Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi clans so afraid of the Uchiha?

It was as if they were terrified that the Uchiha would misunderstand that the Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi clans hadn't taken their side? Why were they so afraid?

The Uchiha clan must be plotting something. They must be in possession of something that could change the current situation.

And Itachi standing out was the beginning of that change in the situation.

By then, it would be too late.

As clan heads, none of them were fools. Thinking of this, they each walked over quickly.

Halfway there, they noticed no footsteps behind them, and looking back, their clan members hadn't followed. They were immediately annoyed, glaring at their own clan members.

"What are you still standing there for! Hurry up and follow!"

Hyuga, Aburame, Inuzuka... many clans hurriedly walked to the side of the Uchiha clan, crowding the Uchiha clan uncomfortably.

On the other side, there were only Koharu, Homura, Jiraiya, and a few guards from the Mitokado Clan and Utatane Clan, which made the expressions of Koharu and Homura look very ugly.

Even with a few small clans and a few civilian ninjas following them, their side was scattered, while the opposite side was crowded and noisy. This contrast made them tremble with rage.

"This is a handwritten letter from the Daimyo! Are you trying to rebel!" Homura slammed the table and roared.

The Jonin lowered their heads, quietly watching Itachi standing at the very front.

Itachi's expression was cold and stern. "Koharu! Homura!"

"Audacious! How dare you address the Hokage Advisors by their given names!"

The guards from the Mitokado Clan and the Utatane Clan stared fiercely at Itachi, as if they would draw their swords at any moment.

Itachi didn't look at them, his killing intent surging. "You are unforgivable!"

"Crime one: The destruction of the Land of Whirlpools was orchestrated by the two of you, causing Konoha to only be able to recover a portion of the Uzumaki's Fuinjutsu!"

Koharu and Homura were stunned.

"Crime two: Colluding with Danzo to conduct human experiments with Orochimaru!"

They reacted, but just as they were about to speak, they were stared at by those incredibly fierce eyes, breaking out in cold sweat, unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as Itachi framed them.

"Crime three: Obstructing Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen from hunting down Orochimaru, assisting an S-rank Rogue Ninja to escape!"

Jiraiya's eyes widened.

"Fugaku! What are you doing!"

He wasn't stupid, it was easy to investigate that the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed with Hiruzen's tacit approval.

Orochimaru's successful escape was also because his teacher had gone soft, it had nothing to do with them.

But these were his teacher's dark history, how could he possibly say that out loud?

So he turned to attack Fugaku, who was controlling Koharu and Homura.

However, Fugaku ignored him, and Shisui's Mangekyo appeared in his eyes, looking at him calmly.

This made Jiraiya's eyes go wide, his heart panicked, feeling that everything was out of control.

Itachi's words continued.

"Crime four: On the Nine-Tails incident, you conspired with Danzo to kill my Uchiha Clan Members!"

"Crime five: You conspired with Danzo to promise compensation for the Uchiha's relocation of their compound, but never provided it!"

"Crime six: Spreading rumors in the village about the relationship between the Uchiha and Nine-Tails!"

"Crime seven: Spreading rumors that the son of the Fourth Hokage, Naruto, is a demon fox!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Jonin who had their heads bowed suddenly raised them, their eyes wide.

"That demon fox is actually..."

"He is the son of the Fourth Hokage?"

"How... how is that possible..."

Kakashi lowered his head, as if the final truth had been revealed to him, feeling very powerless.

Fugaku revealed a smile, he had guessed it long ago. After today, he could bring his wife's best friend's son home. Even if Mikoto wanted to adopt Naruto as their godson, it would be fine.

In Itachi's words, the malevolence was even more terrifying.

"Crime eight: Informing Danzo of the news that the Third Hokage was setting off for the Daimyo's residence, causing the Third Hokage to be assassinated and almost killed!"

"Crime nine: During the war against Kumogakure and Iwagakure, you tricked the Uchiha into taking the front lines and proposed concealing the Uchiha's battle achievements!"

"Crime ten: You murdered the captain of the Kumogakure delegation, took the opportunity to embezzle, conspired with Danzo, and framed the Uchiha clan!"

"Crime eleven: Concealing Danzo's crimes and assisting Danzo in kidnapping the Fourth Hokage's son, Naruto!"

The ninjas present listened with strange expressions. Before Danzo's death, they had all heard these things from Hiromi. But with the help of Koharu and Homura, it all made sense.

After all, how could Danzo alone do so many things without anyone knowing?

Someone must have helped conceal it. If it wasn't Hiruzen, then it had to be them.

Now that Hiruzen had heroically sacrificed himself for the village, then it could only be them. Otherwise, what were they doing crying at the funeral?

Koharu and Homura's eyes widened, their eyes bloodshot and filled with rage, their gazes looking as if they wanted to kill someone.
