Konoha's magical power is invincible

Chapter 55 Fugaku’s temptation

In the conference room on the third floor of the Hokage Building, the four giants of Konoha gathered together.

"...Uchiha Yashiro has led some clan members out of the clan and headed towards the Hokage Tower,"

After the ANBU finished reporting, he stood aside, waiting for questioning.

Danzo couldn't wait to say: "Hiruzhan, I have told you about Uchiha's wolf ambition..."

"Shut up!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said angrily, "If you hadn't promised relocation compensation without authorization, would Uchiha have protested?"

Danzo stood up and said: "Oh, if you don't agree to him, then the relocation plan will be in vain. In the final analysis, Uchiha still doesn't know the general situation."

Mito Menyan stopped the quarrel between the two and said: "Arguing can't solve the problem. Think about how to deal with it first."

After turning to bed, Koharu also echoed: "We are still confronting Kumogakure. We cannot intensify the conflict with Uchiha at this time. Let's think of a way."

Danzo heard this and sat down, clasping his hands on the conference table, a dark light flashing in his one eye.

How did Sarutobi Hiruzen know that he promised Uchiha Fugaku relocation compensation?

With Uchiha Fugaku's indecisiveness, he would definitely not check with the Third Generation. And it was only after the family moved that he discovered that he had been deceived. For the sake of the overall situation, Uchiha Fugaku's usual style would inevitably swallow the bitter pill silently.

Sarutobi Hiruzen on the side also felt very complicated. During the communication last week, Uchiha Fugaku clearly expressed his understanding of the village's difficult situation.

Is this Uchiha Fugaku's understanding?

Although he was a little angry, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that the only key to solving the problem in a peaceful way now lay with Uchiha Fugaku.

So he rubbed his eyebrows and asked the ANBU: "Where is Uchiha Fugaku?"

ANBU said: "Today is the birthday of the second ancestor of the Uchiha clan. Uchiha Fugaku is worshiping his ancestors at Nanga Shrine and does not know about the family affairs."

"Ah--"

Danzo sneered and said, "Don't know? He is the leader of the Uchiha clan. How would he not know about such a big thing for his clan?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not comment on Danzo's speculation, but said decisively: "It's useless to talk more!

Yan, when you go to Nanga Shrine, you must invite Uchiha Fugaku.

Koharu, go and stop the Uchiha tribesmen who are marching, don't let them attack the Hokage Tower. "

No matter what, in the current confrontation with Kumogakure, Uchiha must be appeased, otherwise Konoha will be destroyed due to internal and external troubles.

"Yes!"*2

Mito Menyan and Koharu who transferred to the dormitory took the order and left.

Danzo also stood up and said, "Hiruzhan, I'm going to assist Koharu."

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, but don't do anything that angers Uchiha."

"I know……"

The gloomy voice was still echoing in the conference room, but Danzo's figure had disappeared.

Nanga Shrine.

Uchiha Fugaku, who was missed by everyone, knelt alone in front of the ancestral tablet.

Under the dim light, Fugaku's shadow flickered, just like his twinkling eyes.

Suddenly, the door behind him was pushed open, and a small figure rushed in.

"Father, something bad is going on -"

Before Itachi could finish his words, Fugaku stopped him, "Shut up and get out!"

"Father, clansman..." Itachi said urgently.

Fugaku was unmoved and his voice became more severe, "I said, get out - get out -!"

Under his father's majestic gaze, Itachi had no choice but to reluctantly withdraw from the main hall of the shrine.

Itachi waited anxiously in front of the shrine for a long time, and finally saw his father walking out of the temple.

He hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The clan members were dissatisfied with the cancellation of relocation compensation, so they went to the Hokage Tower under the leadership of the eighth uncle to protest."

Hearing this, Fugaku was noncommittal and walked down the stone steps unhurriedly.

Seeing that his father was indifferent, Itachi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and couldn't help but tug on Fugaku's sleeve.

"Father, hurry up and stop them! Later, the village will have a conflict with the tribesmen."

Fugaku suddenly lowered his head and asked, "Why do you want to stop it? What did the tribesmen do wrong?"

Itachi replied: "They went to the Hokage Tower to protest..."

As he spoke, Itachi's mouth stopped.

Although he loves the village, he is not an ignorant person. In the matter of relocating clan land, the victims are all clan members. The clan members understand that the village is aware of the general situation, but there is no blame for protesting.

After a while, Itachi said: "But this will intensify the conflict between the village and the family."

Looking at the clan territory that was already on the edge of Konoha from the mountain, Fugaku turned his head and looked further in the direction of the new clan territory, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

"The conflict between the village and the family has always existed. It has existed since the day the village was founded, and it will not disappear in the future. It will not change much because of this incident."

Itachi looked up at his father and realized for the first time that he couldn't understand his father.

It is clear how much my father hates war, why is he now actively intensifying the conflict between his tribe and the village?

Itachi tried hard to follow Fugaku's eyes and asked, "Father, what do you want to do?"

By now, with his wisdom, he had guessed that the parade was completely under his father's control, and that his father was even planning the parade behind the scenes.

Looking down at the wise eldest son with pride, Fugaku said: "As expected of my son!"

"Indeed, although I did not actively participate in this parade, it was indeed within my expectations."

Itachi asked with an expressionless face, "Father, aren't you afraid that if you make a mistake, it will cause large-scale turmoil?"

"Unrest?" Fugaku shook his head, "Most of the remaining elite ninjas in the clan are staying at the police department on standby, and there are only a few family ninjas participating in the parade.

Without the participation of ninjas, this was just a parade of ordinary Konoha villagers.

Moreover, Yashiro does things in a measured way. "

Listening to his father risking the life and safety of his tribe, Itachi felt cold and asked coldly: "What is your purpose?"

Fugaku didn't notice Itachi's abnormality, and just said: "I want to see the real attitude of the higher-ups towards Uchiha."

Itachi repeated, "Real attitude?"

"It is indeed difficult for our tribe to get along with each other. Coupled with the Nine-Tails Rebellion, I can understand that the higher-ups are jealous." After a pause, Fugaku changed his voice: "But are you afraid that they are not jealous, but murderous?"

Although he initially denied Qingkong's judgment at the clan meeting, he has never forgotten what Qingkong said.

After all, he is the leader of the Uchiha clan and is responsible for the life and death of this clan.

"How could that happen?" Itachi asked in shock.

After all, he had too little experience. Suddenly hearing that his father also had doubts about the higher-ups, Itachi's face was full of disbelief.

Hearing his son's scream, Fugaku came to his senses.

He suddenly realized that he had instilled in Itachi too many thoughts of putting the overall situation first, and forgot to tell him about the Hokage family's long-term suspicion and suppression of Uchiha.

Just as he was about to explain it to Itachi, Fugaku suddenly sensed someone coming from a distance.

Konoha Avenue.

Aozora followed the Uchiha demonstrators to the Hokage Tower.

Unlike the imagined parade with loud slogans, the Uchiha clan's parade was exceptionally orderly, like an army, with ninjas in front and ordinary clan members behind.

Although they did not carry weapons, their neatly dressed and imposing aura made them more orderly and majestic than a normal army.

The villagers wandering on the street also sensed something was wrong, dispersed from a distance, and hurried home to close their windows.

Seeing this, Qingkong couldn't help but frown.

On the one hand, Aozora lamented that Uchiha's image in the hearts of the villagers had become a demon.

On the other hand, they are pessimistic about the results of the demonstration. If they cannot mobilize other people, what is the use of the Uchiha clan's demonstration alone?

Suddenly, the sound of a kunai breaking through the air startled Qingzong and distracted him from his thoughts.

While streaking, there are no recommended trails that are so cool. I need the support of book friends!
