Wanci lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze calmly landing on the limp Kakuzu at his feet.
At this moment, Kakuzu's eyes were wide open, his eyes surging with extreme shock and fear, his heart filled with utter bewilderment.
He had assumed that his assassination target was merely a guard ninja from Konoha.
I only understand now.
Those who are protected are the strongest.
No wonder the other party didn't need any protection from the beginning to the end.
"How could this be... The Grand Elder of Konoha should be an unarmed ordinary person, shouldn't he?"
Kakuzu's throat was dry and tight, and he murmured incredulously.
Wanci slowly raised his eyes to look at him, a hint of surprise flashing across his deep, indifferent gaze.
He never expected that the one who came to assassinate him would be Kakuzu.
In the original work, Kakuzu also attempted to assassinate Hashirama Senju.
However, due to his own reasons, Konoha still has no Hokage.
He was the only one in a position of great power and influence.
"Kakuzu, your intelligence work is absolutely terrible."
Wan Ci stood with his hands behind his back and slowly said, "The person who sent you to assassinate me made a truly disastrous move. However, this situation suits me perfectly."
As soon as he finished speaking, he simply raised his hand and struck out, and an invisible chakra power surged out instantly!
It pierced straight through Kakuzu's body, completely sealing his chakra and instantly turning him into a helpless cripple with no power to resist.
"Chakra...can't be mobilized?"
Kakuzu's pupils contracted sharply, and his hand, which was about to form a hand seal, froze.

The following day, a shocking piece of news swept through the entire ninja world—Uchiha Tajima was assassinated in Daimyo Castle and died on the spot!
This event was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shaking all forces in the ninja world and causing a huge uproar!
When the news reached Konoha, the entire village was instantly enveloped in an atmosphere of fury, especially the Uchiha clan, who were filled with grief and indignation, their anger reaching its peak.
Upon hearing the devastating news, Wan's expression changed drastically!
To maximize the effect of the scene, he suddenly went limp and fainted in front of all the Konoha high-ranking officials, displaying a state of grief and loss of composure.
The moment Madara Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha learned of their father's death, two extreme surges of grief and hatred erupted, rushing straight to their minds.
Their eyes suddenly became bloodshot and red, their Sharingan began to spin rapidly, and the tomoe in their eyes changed wildly. In an instant, they both activated the Mangekyou Sharingan, and the killing intent in their scarlet pupils surged, almost piercing the sky.
The atmosphere inside the Konoha Intelligence Department was so oppressive it was suffocating.
"Tobirama, your intelligence department has been investigating for so long, have you finally found the mastermind behind this?"
Uchiha Izuna's body surged with murderous intent, his face was so gloomy it could drip water, and his voice was icy cold as he questioned her sharply.
Tobirama Senju's expression was equally grave and somber. His brow furrowed, he remained silent for a moment before finally uttering the result in a low voice:
"Upon investigation, it was found that the mastermind behind this was the Senju clan, one of the major ninja clans."
"Bang!"
With a loud crash, Uchiha Izuna slammed his palm down on the table in front of him, and the hard solid wood tabletop instantly cracked with fine lines, sending fragments flying everywhere.
Izuna's eyes widened in fury as he roared, "Damn it! We Uchiha never provoked them, yet these people came looking for us and tried to kill Father!"
Madara Uchiha stood silently to the side, without uttering a single roar or losing his composure. Yet, the killing intent surging from his crimson Mangekyou Sharingan was almost tangible, sweeping across the surroundings!
The temperature in the entire intelligence department plummeted, and everyone around dared not even breathe.
"I'll go to my great-grandfather right now and plead with him to slaughter these heartless bastards to appease my father's spirit in heaven!"
Uchiha Izuna gritted his teeth and uttered a sentence. Before the words had even finished, he moved and turned into a blur, rushing straight out the door.
Looking at Madara Uchiha, who was filled with grief and exuded murderous aura, Hashirama Senju's expression was full of worry and helplessness.
Hashirama stepped forward and gently patted Madara's shoulder: "Madara, I am equally heartbroken about what happened to Uncle Tajima..."
Hashirama wanted to offer comfort, but he knew that any words would be pale and powerless at this moment, and all that remained in his mouth was a sigh of regret.
However, Tobirama Senju was not consumed by his emotions.
Tobirama's brow remained furrowed, his gaze sweeping back and forth over the intelligence reports, his fingertips unconsciously tapping lightly on the table.
This assassination attempt was suspicious at every turn...
Uchiha Tajima is one of the top combatants in the ninja world today, with superb skills and extremely high vigilance.
Ordinary assassins could not even get close to him, so how could he be assassinated so easily?
Moreover, Konoha not only failed to conceal Tajima's whereabouts, but instead announced it...
"Something's not right... If we take advantage of this incident, we might achieve something unexpected..."
As Tobirama Senju's eyes gleamed more intensely, his thoughts became clearer, and a meticulous idea quietly took shape.
Upon realizing this, Tobirama Senju's eyes flashed.
He shuddered.
"I see!"
Tobirama Senju exclaimed inwardly.
Then, Tobirama Senju glanced in the direction of the Elders' Building with some awe: "So, this was all part of someone's plan?"

"Hahaha, it seems Tajima is dead, and that old man Manji has passed out. Now Konoha is leaderless, which is perfect for our attack!"
With a single, powerful gesture, the Thousand-Handed Buddha gave a call.
At this time, the main forces of all the ninja clans had gathered at Kikyo Mountain, preparing to fight a war to destroy Konoha.

Muye Village
Manji turned his back to the audience, gazing intently at the map of the Land of Fire.
"Elder! Give the order! Avenge Elder Tajima! Declare war on all the major ninja clans!"
Hyuga Tenjin said heavily.
"Great-grandfather, give the order! Avenge my father! Avenge your grandson!"
Uchiha Izuna also said.
"Elder! Give the order!"
Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and others also offered their advice.
Wan took a deep breath and turned to look at everyone.
A resolute glint flashed in his eyes!
"My mind is made up! I will launch a war of unification against the ninja clans within the Land of Fire!"
"Hashirama Senju, heed my command! You will lead Konoha's First Force south to Kikyo Mountain!"
"Uchiha Madara, listen to my command! You will lead Konoha's Second Force westward, and advance to Kannabi Bridge!"
"Tobirama Senju, listen to my command! You will lead the Third Division of Konoha eastward, to the eastern coastline, to prevent the Senju clan from fleeing eastward to the Land of Whirlpools."
"Uchiha Izuna, listen to my command! Lead the Fourth Division northwards and advance to the border of the Land of Iron!"
"Hyuga Tenjin, listen to my command: you will lead the Fifth Division to maintain stability in the surrounding area."
"Finally, I will remain in Konoha to command the overall situation."
"Remember, no slaughter. Demonstrate your strength, and behead the mastermind and high-ranking members of the ninja clan!"
Wanci gave his final, serious instructions.
He knew that if he went on a killing spree, those ninja clans, even after they submitted, would be unable to integrate into Konoha due to their hatred.
