After Sasori left Konoha, a Ninja walked up to Yuuki and whispered a few words. Yuuki nodded after listening.
"Let's activate it simultaneously!"
"Yes!"
The Uchiha Ninja responded and immediately took action. After he completed the hand seals,
the Ninja, led by Xuan Yue and Ryusuke, who had been guarding outside the Sarutobi Clan Estate, finally began to move.
A Four Violet Flames Formation, similar to the one at the Council Hall, rose, but it was much larger than the one outside the Council Hall.
It was then quickly covered by another sealing barrier, hiding the Four Violet Flames Formation within it.
Unless a Ninja skilled in sensing deliberately tried to detect it, it would be difficult to notice anything unusual here.
As one of the first Ninja Clans to join Konoha, besides the Senju and Uchiha, the Sarutobi Clan Estate was located near the center of Konoha.
After many years of development, especially after the Senju Clan disappeared and the Uchiha Clan was driven to the Village's outskirts,
the Sarutobi Clan Estate also gradually expanded, approaching the very center of Konoha and occupying a vast area.
Normally, if there were any disturbances here, it would easily cause a sensation.
However, tonight, after so much preparation, the entire area around the Sarutobi Clan Estate, apart from the Uchiha Ninja, was devoid of any other personnel.
All the Sarutobi Clan Ninja inside immediately noticed the barrier rising.
The sealing barrier flashed and vanished.
But that was definitely not an illusion!
The Sarutobi Clan Ninja, bewildered by the sudden appearance of the barrier, did not hesitate and rushed directly towards Asuma's residence.
They needed to find their leader.
And in the place where Asuma was, those radical clansmen had already gathered.
"Young Master Asuma, that sealing barrier just now, if I'm not mistaken, was the Four Violet Flames Formation, wasn't it?"
"Is the Village planning to make the first move?"
"But how would the Village know about our actions tonight, unless there's an insider among us!"
Just a few sentences of conversation made these guys suspicious of each other, and they quietly maintained a distance from those around them.
Several Ninja were even isolated by the majority.
Asuma outwardly remained indifferent, watching everything coldly.
In reality, his resolve was strengthened once more. These guys, who didn't even trust their companions, actually wanted to stage a coup?
Their existence would ruin the Sarutobi Clan's reputation and lead the Sarutobi Clan to destruction.
Eliminating them in advance was undoubtedly the correct choice.
Amidst a strange atmosphere of mutual suspicion, someone finally nudged Asuma.
"Asuma, who do you think leaked the information?"
"That's right, Young Master Asuma, what are your thoughts?"
"...."
When people are at a loss, they habitually seek answers from others, and as the leader of this group, Asuma was naturally expected to make a decision.
After a brief moment of thought, Asuma said,
"Don't be influenced by the outside. The Village's intelligence capabilities might be much stronger than we imagine. Now is not the time for mutual suspicion. We must trust each other. The most crucial question now is, should we continue with our plan?"
After hearing Asuma's speech, everyone stopped being suspicious, at least on the surface.
"Now the question isn't whether we continue our actions, but whether the Village intends to let us go?"
"That's right, the problem now isn't what we should do, but how we survive!"
"What else is there to say? We should definitely go together and see what's happening. The Village previously only suppressed and targeted us; without reason, the Village wouldn't go for the kill!"
"Precisely, let's go together and confront the Fifth Hokage. Perhaps this is the Village's scheme. We must remain calm at this time and not give the Village an excuse!"
"...."
After discussion, everyone unanimously decided to remain calm and see what the situation was before deciding. As for the coup, it had already been thrown to the back of their minds.
Their plan was not prepared for being discovered by the Village. At this point, they could only postpone the plan and get through this hurdle first.
As for the original plan, there would be plenty of time in the future.
Everyone gathered around Asuma and walked towards the outside of the Clan Estate.
On the other side, the other Sarutobi Clan Ninja who wanted to inquire about the situation with Asuma were now blocked by the Military Police Force Ninja.
"What do you mean by this? Why are you blocking us?"
A Sarutobi Clan Ninja angrily said to the Ninja blocking his way.
"You can choose to leave now and await news or attempt to force your way through. As for what happened, and why you are being blocked, no comment!"
