Chapter 69, Water Escape
"Chief Fugaku, just now, the village's expenditure on the police force has been reduced again. This is the third time in the past two years. You should understand what they want to do, right?"
In Uchiha Fugaku's home, a white-haired elder hummed.
"Of course I know, but the coup still needs to be carefully observed."
"Clan leader... How have we, the Uchiha clan, ever been so angry? Moreover, Konoha is still weakening our rights and interests in all aspects at this time. Isn't this clearly guarding against us? If we don't take action, I'm afraid it will What a missed opportunity.”
Fugaku had a stern face. He actually had thoughts of a coup, but as the patriarch, he had to consider all aspects of the family's issues.
Both good and bad outcomes must be considered.
If it succeeds, it is naturally best for the Uchiha clan to sit in the position of Hokage. Although the situation is not yet stable, as long as the Kyuubi is under control, it is only a matter of time.
But if it fails...I am afraid that the Uchiha clan will disappear into Konoha together with the Senju clan, and after his death, he will not have the shame to meet the clan leaders of the family again.
"Oh, forget it, there is a clan meeting tonight. By then, this issue will inevitably be raised. Then you can find a way to stabilize it yourself." The elder sighed when he saw Fugaku still hesitating. Yes, left here.
Uchiha Mikoto walked out of the backyard and poured tea into the cup in front of Fugaku.
"Are you still worried about the clan's affairs?"
"Alas, it's not easy to be a clan leader." Fugaku drank the tea in one gulp. The matter between Konoha and Uchiha was something he was very troubled about.
Once you make the wrong choice, you may be doomed.
.........
Hokage Building...
Shisui stood in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, holding in his hand a policy on increasing the positions of various members of the Uchiha clan for ordinary people, so as to bring the emotional connection between the clan and Konoha closer.
But after looking at it, Shisui shook his head regretfully.
"Lord Hokage, this is only for ordinary people, but the problems within the clan do not lie with these people. Even if the policy is enacted, I am afraid the effect will not be great."
Sarutobi Hiruzen also sighed.
He was also having a headache over this matter. He wanted to stabilize the Uchiha clan, but also wanted to prevent infiltration and make the coup much easier. This was a difficult choice to make. Today, the Uchiha clan and Konoha are like two individuals. Every handover is sensitive and full of suspicion. Once the scale of choice shifts to one side, it may lead to explosive results.
"Shisui, in your opinion, how do you think this matter needs to be handled?" Hiruzen Sarutobi clasped his hands and looked into Shisui's eyes and said seriously.
"Lord Hokage, I don't have a good strategy to deal with this matter." Shisui shook his head regretfully. If he really had a good way to deal with it, he would have already proposed it.
And this is also a problem left over from history. Ever since the Uchiha clan took over the police force, the civilians have been resentful of the Uchiha who manages one side. Until the night of the Nine-Tails, the Sharingan pattern reflected in the scarlet pupils, these are all It is the sharp blade that points the finger at the Uchiha clan.
The Uchiha clan is arrogant and has always been willing to accept the soft rather than the tough. The rejection of the villagers will only make them fight back more fiercely. It is at this time that hatred and contradictions gradually appear.
After not getting any good advice from Shisui, Sarutobi Hiruzen let him do the ANBU's work. I'm afraid the Uchiha clan's affairs still need to be carefully considered.
In the corridor of the Hokage Building, Shisui walked past Danzo. Looking at his leaving figure, Danzo narrowed his eyes.
"Looks like it's a matter of the Uchiha clan. Sarutobi is still so indecisive." If the roots hadn't been disbanded once before, I'm afraid the Uchiha clan wouldn't have been able to be so arrogant under his pressure.
Danzo came to the Hokage's office and happened to see Sarutobi Hiruzen sitting in the chair with a sad face. The smell of smoke floated in the air, slightly dispelling the irritability.
"It seems that you still haven't decided to take action against the Uchiha clan, Sarutobi."
"The Uchiha clan must not move yet, otherwise it may cause a new round of war." Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and looked at the map of the ninja world hanging on the wall.
If the civil war in Konoha leads to further emptiness of combat power, it may become the trigger of the Fourth Ninja War, and by then more than just a few people may die.
"If we cut it off, we'll cut it off, Sarutobi. While they don't know our intentions at this time, by night, we can completely surround the Uchiha clan with a barrier and assassinate some of the high-ranking Uchiha clans." , and then gather the Anbu and Roots to take advantage of the turmoil and massacre all the way, we can completely solve this problem in less than one night."
After hearing this suggestion, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face darkened.
"Duanzo, such a radical idea may lead to serious consequences. If something big happens, will you take the responsibility?"
"Humph, Sarutobi, you are still the same as before. Even if we don't take action, the Uchiha clan will never settle down. Later, if they decide to prepare a coup, don't blame me for not warning you!"
"Duanzo, be careful about your identity!"
There was another quarrel in the Hokage's office, and the ANBU stationed nearby were used to it. It was normal for the two of them to bicker and quarrel, but it was usually Elder Danzo who got angry.
Sure enough, after the two argued for five minutes, a familiar conversation came from inside.
"Sarutobi you will regret this!"
"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"
boom!
Danzo slammed the door and walked away, obviously very angry. He really didn't understand how the monkey fought with him in the early years, and how could he become the person in power without being ruthless? Sure enough, the position of Hokage should be his!
.........
In the guard booth, Zhixue lay on the bed, covered with a thin quilt, and a trace of crystal dripped from the corner of his mouth onto the floor.
She slept a little late yesterday and just went to catch up on her sleep today. Anyway, it would be okay if she didn't go to the training ground for a while.
Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the fishing task (30/30) and receiving the reward: water attribute chakra affinity.
Zhixue, who was still sleeping soundly in bed, heard the sound of the system and just woke up.
"Hmm...are the rewards given out?" Zhixue yawned, got up from the bed, hugged the quilt and gently rubbed the tears hanging from the corners of his eyes.
Ding, yes host, this is the second time you have given out rewards while sleeping.
"The second time? When was the first time?" Zhixue rubbed his head. Had he ever received a reward while sleeping before?
Chapter 70, Obito's Return
"Sister Zhixue, I feel that I am already good at the melee stage. Really, why not go back and practice ninjutsu." Beside the small pool, Erzhu said, feeling the burning pain on his body.
Although it's not made of iron, it still hurts when hit by wood. It's better to practice ninjutsu, at least you won't get beaten.
"Ah, physical skills and sword skills are also basic. You will learn them in the future." Zhixue spread his hands and said. Anyway, Erzhuzi will also practice swordsmanship with Uncle She in the future.
Er Zhuzhu was originally very interested in swordsmanship, but after experiencing the torture again and again, he suddenly felt that it was not so good anymore, and he missed practicing ninjutsu a little bit.
"Sister Zhixue, why don't you teach me illusions first? I feel like I'm exhausted from being tortured by you every day. If I continue training, I'm afraid my young body won't be able to bear it."
Zhixue thought about Erzhu's age and thought it made sense, but unfortunately she didn't know how to perform genjutsu. The Sharingan's built-in genjutsu function did, but Erzhuzi didn't have this condition now.
By the time he opened his eyes, she probably wasn't in Konoha at that time either.
"Ahem, ask your brother to practice illusions. I'm not very good at it."
Zhixue took out a pocket watch from his hand, glanced at the time, and put away the folding chair.
"Okay, it's getting late, you should go home, I have to cook later."
"Red bean paste?" Er Zhuzhu's eyes seemed to be shining. It was great to be able to finish training so early today.
Zhixue didn't respond. She delayed her brother's birthday yesterday and would go buy some food later to make it up to Nissan.
Looking at the bustling streets in the distance, Zhixue stood on the roof, picked up a telescope, looked at several places to go, and recorded them on paper.
The original owner was not very familiar with the places to buy groceries in Konoha, but those in the clan knew about it, but the smell of gunpowder floating in the air from the Uchiha clan recently made Zhixue not want to go anywhere except the way home.
"It seems you are still very interested." A voice sounded from behind Zhixue.
"Aren't you afraid of alerting Konoha when you come to Konoha like this?"
"Is this how you talk to your ancestors?" Obito walked behind Zhixue with his arms crossed and said.
"You shouldn't just come to see me for free, right?" Zhixue turned around and said.
"Haha, although I admit that you are very beautiful and it does remind me of an old friend, but that is not the purpose of my coming here this time."
"Do you want to... take a look at the Uchiha clan?" Zhixue asked Obito with a sense of probing.
clap clap clap...
Obito narrowed his eyes and clapped his hands.
"Although you are not old, your thinking is quite flexible. The Uchiha clan is about to die soon. Your dear brother needs you to take care of him."
What Obito was talking about was, of course, the Uchiha clan's attempted coup. The current conflict has reached an irreconcilable level. Even if the choices of some radical Uchiha are temporarily dealt with, it will only usher in a more powerful counterattack. Those who focus on emotions will After the Uchiha people are oppressed by the death of their relatives, their Sharingan will evolve and go to extremes, which is very dangerous.
It is naturally impossible for Konoha to make such a stupid decision. There are only two situations of total destruction or total preservation. As Uchiha Shisui is a genius of Konoha and the Uchiha clan, Obito naturally wants to bring it in to expand it. His own proportion in the Akatsuki organization.
Of course, what he needs is a blackened Shisui, but killing her dear sister is no longer feasible, and he can only take the family path.
Zhixue looked at Obito, who had such hope for her, with a strange expression.
If you knew what Shisui's awakened Mangekyō Sharingan Eye Technique was, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to let him in until your death.
"Nissan will not join the Akatsuki organization. I am enough."
Obito laughed twice when he heard what Zhixue said.
"Hmph, huh, when the time comes, it's up to your brother to decide whether to go or not." Obito finally said this, and disappeared from the place with twisted divine power.
World-weary Jun Yang ⑦1④⒋ ㈥⑦
And Zhixue also thought of something very troublesome.
That's how to separate my brother from the Uchiha coup. He wants to save the village and maintain the peace of the Uchiha clan. He is the kind of person who will never look back until he hits the wall.
Zhixue covered her eyes, and her huge pupils gradually gathered together. Three black magatama were cleverly linked together, forming a black clover pattern.
It was a blast at the beginning, but unfortunately she never noticed it, and the system didn't give any prompts at all. It was really unbelievable.
"Why don't I just lie to my brother and tell him that my eye technique can predict fate and the future? Hmm... I just say this in the hope that he won't get so hung up on it that he jumps off a cliff like Shisui in the original novel."
Although Zhixue knew that sealing Izanagi in Shisui's Sharingan would most likely be fine, he was still a little worried.
After all, he is just such a brother.
"Forget it, let's think about this later. I have to cook tonight..."
…………
While Zhixue was still preparing to follow the route to Konoha to buy groceries, the Uchiha clan had already begun to plan Konoha's overall defense map and attack weak points.
Above the Uchiha clan meeting, on the table is a detailed map of Konoha and the approximate distribution range of other clan forces.
"Patriarch, you don't need to delay it any longer. Even if you don't agree, this matter will break out sooner or later. It's better for us to strike first."
"Yes, clan leader, Konoha can no longer accommodate us. If we don't show them something powerful, they will ride on us sooner or later."
"They have already ridden on the head of our Uchiha clan. How long will we wait if we don't move now?"
