I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

Ye Lan's aura made even a group of Root ninjas who were familiar with life and death feel nervous. Ye Lan looked around, and even these masked ninjas did not dare to look him in the eye.

That's it, Uchiha Ye Lan, hurry up and take action. As long as you take action, I can make you get out of Konoha... This is exactly the effect Danzo wanted. He hid at the back of the Root Ninja and kept staring at Ye Lan.

Just when Ye Lan's momentum reached its peak, he suddenly calmed down. Although it was satisfying to kill a lot of people at this time, it would not solve the problem. It would also achieve the purpose of this old dog. Only he would be truly satisfied. Thinking that this old dog could be satisfied, Ye Lan felt very uncomfortable.

"Uchiha Ye Lan, it seems that you have confessed and accepted the facts?" Seeing Ye Lan's calm look, Danzo, the old man, suddenly felt something was wrong. He kept provoking Ye Lan and was about to order the Root to capture Ye Lan.

"I will explain the situation to the Hokage. Without the order from the Hokage, I will not accept your investigation." Ye Lan looked at the root approaching and dodged to the side.

"Are you trying to resist arrest?" Danzo didn't expect that this young Uchiha would be so difficult to deal with. Aren't the Uchiha clan full of young and inexperienced people? It's useless to provoke him like this.

"I will explain the matter of instigating the Konoha ninjas to frame their fellow villagers to Danzo's knowledge, to the Hokage." Ye Lan's words seemed like he was reporting to the parents, but this was the most useful method. He didn't believe that Tsunade couldn't see any clues.

"Uchiha Ye Lan, stop quibbling here. As the Hokage's advisor, I have the right to take you down if you commit such a crime. Come on, if you resist, I will kill you regardless of life or death!" Danzo didn't care about Tsunade as the Hokage at all. In his opinion, Tsunade's various behaviors showed immaturity, and he was the only one who was doing it for the good of Konoha.

"Counselor Danzo, what are you doing?" Just as the Root people were about to take action, Kakashi had already arrived, with Gai beside him.

Fortunately, Ye Lan did not take action just now, otherwise even if Kakashi came, he would not be able to speak for Ye Lan. He did not have a good impression of Danzo. He had instructed him to assassinate the Sandaime. Later, after becoming the captain-in-chief of the Anbu, he also understood the operation of the Root and knew what kind of person Danzo was.

"Kakashi, you have nothing to do here. Uchiha Yalan killed his fellow villagers. I am taking him back to the Root for interrogation." Danzo did not take Kakashi seriously. In his opinion, Kakashi was just a knife without his own thoughts and will.

"Well, I haven't seen such a thing with my own eyes. Let's leave it to the Hokage to decide, Advisor Danzo." Kakashi seemed to be persuading, but in fact he was already standing next to Ye Lan. The bodies of the Root members who had just died were probably not yet completely cold, and Kakashi could say such words, which made Ye Lan look at him more.

"Advisor Danzo, I have some understanding of Ye Lan's character. If he does something like killing his companions, I, Might Guy, will never let him go!" Guy walked over and gave Danzo a thumbs up. His signature toothy smile made Danzo's face twitch uncontrollably.

"Hmph, do whatever you want." Danzo knew that he could not deal with Ye Lan this time. He hit the ground with his crutch and turned around to leave with the Root. He didn't need Tsunade to believe in this matter. What he wanted was the other two advisors to stand on his side.

As long as he spread the news of Ye Lan killing his companions to the entire village, people who didn't know him would have a certain opinion. After saying it too much, he didn't believe that Tsunade would still trust Ye Lan like this. As long as he buried a thorn in Tsunade's heart, he would have plenty of ways to deal with Ye Lan.

Kakashi said goodbye to Danzo and the others with a smile, and only looked at Ye Lan seriously after he left, "What happened?"

Ye Lan recounted in detail what had just happened, and then asked: "Kakashi, you have been in the Anbu for such a long time, there are some things I want to ask you."

Kakashi was silent for a long time before he sighed, "Ask."

"What exactly happened to the Uchiha clan when I left the village?" Ye Lan didn't believe that Kakashi, as the captain of the Anbu, had no idea what happened to the Uchiha clan. He didn't ask before because he didn't find a suitable opportunity. This time, with Danzo's interference, it was an opportunity.

"I thought you would never talk about this kind of thing..." Kakashi said slowly, "To be honest, I'm not sure either, but the Anbu were indeed monitoring the Uchiha clan at that time. But I can be sure that no one from the Anbu took action that night. Our orders were to stay on guard around the Uchiha clan's territory."

In this way, the Konoha high-level officials at that time knew what would happen to the Uchiha that night. Ye Lan suddenly felt much more cheerful, but he still had some doubts in his heart and said, "Surveillance clan? What did the Uchiha do to make them so afraid?"

"You know about the Nine-Tailed Fox Rebellion twelve years ago, right?"

He had some doubts when he heard Kakashi talk about this. Ye Lan was only three years old at the time. He was just hiding in Konoha's defense facilities and didn't know much.

"It is said that on the day of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, a member of the Uchiha clan controlled the Nine-Tails." This was the first time Ye Lan heard this news about Kakashi. He understood that the Sharingan, especially the Mangekyō, had a strong restraint on the tailed beasts, but who had the ability to control the Nine-Tails, which was known as the strongest tailed beast?

Shisui? No, Shisui had just graduated from the Ninja Academy at that time, so he couldn't have a Mangekyō. The Fourth Hokage died in battle because of this incident, and Sarutobi Hiruzen, who came back to power, would definitely be wary of the Uchiha.

"I can't imagine who had the ability to control the Nine-Tails at that time. To be honest, even with my current ability, it would be difficult to control the tailed beast." Ye Lan said truthfully. His Mangekyō was not an ability that was biased towards illusion, but more of an enhancement of ninjutsu and physical fitness.

"But that night many ninjas saw the Sharingan in the Nine-Tails' eyes..."

A chill rushed to Ye Lan's scalp. He seemed to have grasped something. It was as if a big hand was controlling everything. The Nine-Tails Rebellion, the annihilation of the Uchiha clan, and now the Akatsuki organization that targets the tailed beasts. That's right, it's the Akatsuki organization. They definitely have some connection with all this. Ye Lan thought a lot, and now he still lacks some key evidence, and needs to figure out the purpose of the mastermind behind all these things.

"In fact, it was Elder Danzo who proposed the decision to monitor the Uchiha clan. The Sandaime considered it for a long time before making the decision. Konoha was already fragile at the time, and the Sandaime couldn't help but be careless." Kakashi still said some good words about Sarutobi Hiruzen here, and the matter of hostility towards the Uchiha clan should be left to Danzo, and this is also a fact.

"Danzo... does he have the right to mobilize the Anbu?" Ye Lan was surprised at Danzo's say in the village. He had seen before that the respect those "Anbu" showed towards Danzo was not fake.

"That's not ANBU, it's Root." Kakashi did not hide it, knowing that Ye Lan would know it sooner or later. Not to mention that Sasuke, who joined the ANBU, would definitely hear about the Root. Instead of Sasuke telling Ye Lan at that time, Kakashi might as well lay the matter out now.

"root?"

"In their own words, they are the roots of the tree, rooting deep into the darkness to protect Konoha in their own way."

Ye Lan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. Whether it was Orochimaru's invasion or Itachi's arrival, he didn't even see the shadow of these people.

"Let's go. Don't keep Lady Tsunade waiting anxiously. She should have received the news by now." Kakashi and Ye Lan said when they saw that they had almost finished talking. Killing members of the Root could be a big or small matter, and he believed that Tsunade would be able to make the judgment.
